Ummm...so why not use an OBD 1 SCAN TOOL? It's not like they're scarce, and they read the data stream just as you'd expect from a SCAN TOOL.

Code-readers are consumer-grade trash whether they're for OBD 1 or for OBD 2, or both.

My scan tool is about a thousand years old, but it reads OBD 1 for Domestic and Asian vehicles as far back as '81 for GM applications, including some ABS. What it won't do is go newer (VIN-specific) than 2006; and software newer than 2009 doesn't exist as that's when Snap-On ended support for the tool I have. This does not bother me particularly as I don't own a vehicle newer than '03. At whatever point I upgrade to a more-modern scan tool, I'll about have to "give" this one away on Craigslist, as the eBay pricing is so low as to be impractical to auction.

END trade with Communist China.
