its khan ,but no problem

glad to straighten things out

i still have a dumbass uncle who thinks he is pimp and says he has a 97 ,like i am stupid when it comes to lexus to not know a 94 which is the easiest one to recognize by dual airbags and old style lights

moron

Sorry about that typo. Haha, a '97 that is really a '94! I guess your uncle forgot what year and model car you drive!

ok, im learning. to clarify: when exactly did the LS become OBDII compliant? my LS was manufactured 4/94. is my car OBDII? is there any other way to tell if my car is OBDII compliant?

if you can count flashes of the engine light to get engine codes you are obd 1 with obds there are thousands of codes

there should be an emmision sticker in your engine bay ,it may contain the info for obd2 or 1

i think i can do this. i tried to retrieve any codes a few days ago while i was in the TDCL port clearing my airbag light. i followed these directions to retrieve the codes. i didn't have a check engine light or anything but i've heard that it might store a code w/out the check engine light appearing. i followed all directions but once i connected the 2 ports with the jumper, instead of flashing a out an error code, it flashed over, and over, and over again. does this mean that my car is OBDII - or - does it mean that there were no error codes to retrieve?
