My auto parts store.. O'Reiley's, where I BORROW the readers, bought a new kit because their old loaner kit was getting tired and forgot about "our special cars"..
Now I visit Autozone and borrow theirs.
I understand OBD1 codes can be checked by shorting pins in our OBDII connectors and counting flashes...
Auto parts stores often have that "Special" adapter connector added in their kits for this specific issue of an OBDII connector with an OBDI PCM.
Your choice, I kindof like to see the reader do it because I cant count
and the store is convenient.
P.S. The codes may show an error.. your error is only indicating it saw an issue. Many have bought the indicated errors replacement sensor only to discover later another related issue repair. Just be aware, more often having the code reader at the stores to loan out makes them some extra bucks .
Good Luck...
