Re: OBDII non-compliant



This was the year of OBD 1.5 where

(4) ground
(5) ground
(9) data stream
(16) battery voltage

on the 16-pin J1962 trapezoidal connector adapted from the 16-pin DB15RA
rectangular connector (pinouts are the same).

That is, I guess what I need is an OBDI code reader such as,
http://www.amazon.com/AutoXray-EZ-Read-2000-Advanced-Reader/dp/B0002SQXF6/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&s=automotive&qid=1217491684&sr=8-17
with an adapter that goes from J1962 to DB15RA (16-pin trapezoidal to 16-pin
rectangular) such as,
http://www.obd2cables.com/products/product_info.php?cPath=23&products_id=66&osCsid=7725daf5c9017c0687501278de7fdc21

Then I am supposing I can read the OBD codes.

I have a 1994 Pontiac Bonneville that is non-ODBII compliant but has a
J1962 DLC plug underneat the steering column. The code reader displays
LINK ERROR when I try to read the error codes. These are the pinouts on
the type A connector:

(4) black
(5) black with white stripe
(8) black with white stripe
(9) brown
(14) green
(16) orange

all other contacts are unpopulated.

Does anyone know how I can read the codes with this configuration? Any
help much appreciated.
