States Environmental Protection Agency, and
1996 newer (automobile) light trucks must be
accorded with OBD II standard. Including all the
domestic, Asian and European vehicles.
A small amount of 1994 and 1995 petrol vehicles
are accorded with OBD II standard. If need to
verify if 1994 or 1995 vehicles are accorded with
OBD II standard, please check the vehicle
emission control information (VECI) label, most
vehicles are stuck this label under the engine
