my ranger just gave me a check engine light, i always thought obdII started in 96 but from what i read some 95's went to obdII.
Mine has the 16 pin obdII(?) port under the removable cover under the dash
sorry for the crappy pic, but it has pins in 2,4,5,7,10,13 & 16
so i think its obdII but when i was searching i found this this
"If your vehicle has this style connector, but doesn't have these pins populated, you probably have a pre-OBDII vehicle. To add some confusion, even having the connector with the contacts shown above is not a guarantee of OBD II compliance. This style connector has been seen on some pre-1996 vehicles which were not OBD II compliant."
(from this page: http://www.obdii.com/connector.html )
i also read that on 95's you can only pull ABS codes from that port and its not a true obdII.
is there anyway to determine which system i have?
