With this standard you can read codes and data and reset codes on all makes.

These code readers will NOT work on your car.

Can-Bus is a method of connecting several ecu's with only 2 wires.
A bit similar to a Network with several PC's.
It is used on "newer" vehicles for diagnostics, but not on your car.
So would I need a OBD 1 reader?
