95Aurora scan tool ?

Hi i'm new here, at least to asking questions. i have gained a great deal of info over the last 4-5 months that has been really helpful.

I now have a question... My 95 Aurora has a 16 pin type A DLC but does not appear to be OBD-II compliant i say this also because i have tried an Actron scan tool and come up with a link error. is there such a scan tool out there that can use this connector at a reasonable price? The Actron i tried goes for about $150.

any help would be appreciated.

An Actron CP9110 works great, but you need the GM cartridge (CP9111) and the GM OBD-II cable (CP9115) to connect to it. I've heard someone else mention they bought a Snap-On scan tool for like $500.

Here is the link to the 9110 at Actron's site:

You can find them almost all the time on ebay, though not always with a GM cartridge. You're probably looking at right around $150 to everything you need with this setup also, depending on the auction price.

You may also want to check out products by Autoxray. There is one reader, called the ezread-2000. You can get it online for $179 including shipping or at Northern Tools for $189. I like that it comes with cards covering a bunch of makes and years. It reads codes and displays them in English. Here are 2 links, one to the autoxray site and one to northern..check it out.

I have no idea on the '95, but have a suggestion.

I know the '95 Corvette had an OBDII style connector, but the computer was OBDI compliant. This hybrid year model required an OBDI reader with an OBDII cable - very confusing.

In as much as the Aurora was a new model in 1995 - did they start production with OBD2 (hopefully so), or was it OBD1 for the 1st production year?

I'd be interested if someone could confirm the computer in the '95...

Everything I've read indicates its the later, OBD-II connector to an OBD-I computer :disappoin :disappoin

Yes, the OBDII pin connector under the driver side dash in the footwell, with OBD1 computer...that hybrid year is messy :(
