hi guys, i have a ford ranger and i want to invest in a diagnostic tool, however im not sure if its obd1 or obd2...attached is a pic of the port.

 

What year is the vehicle?

 

its a 2002-2006...its the more international version which its pretty much under the mazda b-series

I believe just about all OBDII systems have an oxygen sensor after the converter where none of the OBDI systems I have seen have that feature.
Since the vehicle has a Mazda type set-up I would suggest you check with a Mazda dealer service dept. and they should be better able to suggest the better scan tool. It does appear to have the OBDII system.

 

thanks bro

 

if its 1996 or newer it will be obd2 which has a 16pin connector. The location of the connector link will be in the passenger compartment. obd2 mandated standardization of the connector and location of the connector.


The picture in not of a obd2 connector.

What is the tenth character of the vin?

what ever scan tool you get; get one that can display live data. A code reader can't, a scan tool can.
Do you want something that can display abs and airbag dtc, body and underfined codes or just powertrain codes?

I bought a launch c-readerVI and i am very pleased with it.
