some cars have a 16PIN obd2 plug, but is not oBD2, but is in fact obd1.
i heard that scanner above does do lots of cars.
there is no one scanner that does them all.
the innova 3160 does lots of old OBD1 cars
but the vitara above must be oBD1 and suzuki never published how to use it.
in each case look at the pins populated, in most cases, oops this is not OBD2.
there is also OBD1.5 (half works , and not)
the connector pin count nor shape proves anything.
the hood sticker if they mention OBD2 , it's a go. OBD2 is a USA standard, not world.
and there are JOBD and EOBD. that use this connector, some work. some don't.
for each car not OBD2 true , you must find out is there a scan tool for this car. (none for suzuki, besides Rhinoman's that is why he went to such trouble to do that........)
OBD2 costs more and if the country don't care, then the maker uses the lowest coast EFI , to keep car affordable....
In Ecuador, don't they have cars from all over the world?, and all over S. America, and even mix of USA cars... (check the hood and fire wall stickers. it will be clear that) And VIN if it has vin.
No Ecuador EPA or DOT, etc , to dictate this i think.?
Its like in Canada 1989. 3 cars, usa, canada or gray market,
Gray market is when anyone an import anything and DID.
