Actron Automotive Scan Tools and Code Scanners

On-Board Diagnostics for the automotive industry, or OBD, is a generic term referring to a vehicle's self-diagnostic and reporting capability. From an early instance of OBD 1, OBD ll now provides a standardized series of diagnostic trouble codes, or DTCs, which allow one to rapidly identify and remedy malfunctions within the vehicle.

Actron is one of the leaders in manufacturing and marketing of OBD diagnostic equipment for the automotive aftermarket industry, including Scan Tools and Code Readers; Automotive Diagnostic and Test Equipment; and Instrumentation including tachometers and a variety of gauges.

Is your car OBD II certified? 

To determine if your vehicle is equipped with the OBD II system is fairly simple. The DLC (Data Link Connector) will be located under or around the drivers side of the dash. The connector will look exactly like the illustration.

Keep in mind that if your vehicle is '96 and newer, Federal Law requires that ALL vehicles (cars and light trucks) sold in the United States MUST BE OBD II Compliant. This includes ALL Domestic, Asian and European vehicles.

If your vehicle is pre-'96 there is a chance that the connector is the OBD II style and yet the system is still an OBD I. To confirm this, look under the hood for the Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) Label which will state whether your car is "OBD II Certified" or otherwise. Your mechanic can, of course, confirm or deny the label.
