Re: DIAGNOSTIC can't get it to work
The reader has to support the ISO 9141-2 protocol, and not every reader does. There are 5 or 6 different protocols.
This one is specific to the ISO protocol, I have it, and it works great, you plug it into a laptop.
Scantool.net Code Reader
I used a few universal OBD-II readers and none of them would read the codes.

Re: DIAGNOSTIC can't get it to work
can anyone tell me why the diagnostic box isn't working???
Re: DIAGNOSTIC can't get it to work
They already have. The 1996 model is OBD2 and as such there's no flashing light. you have to plug into the plug thats under your dash on the right side behind the radio. You need a code reader and for the cost of having a garage do it you can order a reader like the one mentioned in the above post.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
