Issues With Obd Port, Pls Help Resolve. by apexquest(op): 1:35pm On Jan 13, 2016

I tried to have my car scanned but found out that the scanner plug was different from the port of my car ..

From the image ;
My car port is to the left while the scanner port is the right.
Question ;
1. Is it that the scanner brought is not the right one?
Or
2. Is there a different cable that we can substitute with the one that is on the scanner to successful scan it.

Pls help...

the scanner on the right is a standard obd2 port while the one on the left is for a ~~kekenapep~~.

Seems funny to me that Nissan would feature OBD I port on a 1997 car. Compliance to OBD II started in 1996. OP are you sure its 1997?

Forget the belt, check the VIN/Chassis number on the firewall plate, Lower left windscreen, B pillar etc.

Sticker by the door will tell you date it was manufactured so if it is a 95 model then its too old to use the newer scanners you will need a OBDI scanner

I guess that's the case. I ran the VIN, car was assembled in Spain June 1997... Too bad I will have to look for obd1.
Anyways special thanks to colosus for his offer of free scan though he only has Obd2 scanner.
