Code reader

Does anyone know what kind of code reader is used for a 94 Buick Century. I bought the Equus 3123 model thinking it was the one but it's only good for Centurys up to 1993. Any help would be appreciated. The plug is a 12 pin.

Re: Code reader

Why not just jumper the A-B terminals and count flashes?

Re: Code reader

Thanks for the info. I e-mailed Innova and they don't make a code reader for this year of car. It appears that some cars in 94 and 95 didn't get either, so your idea is the way to go.

Re: Code reader

You probably can't jump the pins on your car, as the ALDL doesn't have the ground pin. 94 and 95 models are a hybrid (between OBD-I and OBD-II) that requires a professional type scan tool to pull codes. Sorry for the bad news.
