Scanning a 94

[Dieselboy.]

Is the 94 model OBDII port ? Its under the glovebox area correct ?

Check engine light is on and wondering if its worth taking my scan gauge out of my 02 to look at it ?

I dont think they started obdII til 96. Might be wrong.

94 is iffy, I know the scangauge works in 95 and up.

OBDII was Federally mandated for 1996 and newer vehicles. It started in about 1994 or 1995. I know my 95 Ranger had OBDII.

My 95 with a build date of 1/95 has an OBDII port and the SCT connected with it.

The 94's have the port, but from the factory it was inactive (it has power to it, but inactive). If the truck has been reflashed to a later code it will work just fine. My 94 was originally a BEG8 and the dealer reflashed it to an ALF4 to run (better) diagnostics. It ran my EASE diagnostic software from the laptop without problems. Cheers!

Thanks guys, I'm not sure it has a bullydog chip on it and that's all I can say for anything pcm wise. I will see what happens. If it doesn't read obdII how do you scan check engine light

Have the dealer reflash the pcm. Just make sure there isnt a tuner or chip already installed.
