I have a 95 montero sr and my engine light has been coming on. Is there a way to retrieve trouble codes without a reader?( ie..jumper wire,reading cluster light)?Is a 95 OBD 2 compatible?

 

should be....go to a dealer or autozone to check it out

 

Some cars built in 95 had the obd II connector are compatable, try taking it to autozone and see if there scanner works, if not you might have to take it to the dealer.

 

We dont have a Autozone. Only a small autoparts store.

 

Well if your were in PA I would be able to scan it for ya, but try a couple of small shop and see if they can scan it for you. They shouldn't charge you just for giving u a code.

 

Thanks, i will give a couple shops a try. Is a 1995 compliant? I would go buy one if i knew for sure?

 

It really depends on the car, I know chevy and some fords were obIIcompliant in 1995. Check under the dash for a 16 or 17 pin dlc connector. 1996 and up are obII compliant.

 

I discovered that if you put a jumper in #1 slot of 16 pin connector and ground it then you can turn on ignition and the Maint. light will blink the codes. It was onelong then one short (11). My book said it is the heated O2 sensor. I need to chec it out i guess. I can reset the ECM and drive and the engine light stays off until i get up to about 50 mph for a certain amount of time then it comes on again.

 

Well there you go, I learned something today. You probaly got a tired o2 so just replace it.The light willcome back on eventually.

 

Hello...I have just purchased a 2000 Montero sport and I have a question...


My check engine light is on and I went to Oreilly to have them read the codes and a weird thing happened. When he hooked up the scanner and started to scan...the speedometer went from 0-approx 60mph then the scanner said it couldn't connect.


he tried this another time and the same thing happened.


Weird huh?? any thoughts?
