OBD or OBD II

Hello,

I have 1989 Ninety Eight Regency. I need to know which OBD it is equiped with so I can buy the proper code reader. Any help is appreciated.

Try google. It's amazing what you can find.

6 years before obd11, it's obd 1.

i have a 94 LSS 3.8L blah blah blah...

not sure which system my car has (or is supposed to)

obd-II scanner reads "failed" when tested.

doesn't have a 'pin-b' like all the obd-I systems.

has the rounded connector like the obd-II system.

why would the obd-II scanner say "failed" if it's an obd-II system?

Not all scanners have the proper cable set up for that transitional year.

where could i buy or use a scanner with those capabilities?

For personal use, Actron 9145 should work, check their website

thanks for the reply. had no idea there were so many complications in the transitional years. you're right, the 9145 will work. thanks again.
