Now you know your car has an OBD1 port (and not the newer OBD2). This means you cannot use one of our common OBD2 scan tools and you will need an OBD1 scan tool reader (If you are still unsure if your car is OBD1 or OBD2 then get in contact with us). Accessing your car’s systems now became harder.
But don’t worry! We got your back.

Car is OBD1: Our Final Word
If your vehicle is still an OBD1 (and not yet OBD2), you don’t need to worry. There are still plenty of support tools for you if your car is OBD1. OBD2 Australia is a car tools and accessories business that provides Aussies with quality and affordable products like OBD scan tools. With these, you can now access your OBD1 system to perform diagnostic tests and detect faults.
If you’re still not convinced or is still confused, we’ll be happy to talk you! Hope to hear from you soon!
