There is a good chance it will not work, even though obd2 was required on vehicles after 1996 Ford had some trucks with obd1 well into the 00's. Check the emissions sticker under the hood to see if it says obd2 on it as the obd1 Ford trucks have the same port as the obd2 trucks.

It will not display. You will have to purchase a separate screen to display things like fuel ranges, oil life and etc.... However if you have to take the vehicle to the dealership or a mechanic shop to get codes read it will retain the information needed to assess the problem!!

I would have to say yes. Be sure to check your OBD port to determine which kind of port you have. You may need a special adapter if it has OBD 1.5. Give them a call and they will know.

More than likely you will need to take it to a GM dealer. 05 and after require programming in the computer. The dealer quoted me 35 bucks but did it for free

No, this will read the code the car's computer is saying is a problem. You can look up the code on the internet and that may lead you to the problem. Tell your mechanic to fix it. This device just reads codes.

I'm not sure. Obviously your vehicle's OBD II system monitors the PCM "powertrain control module" and or TCM " transmission control module". There should be a code stored for the trouble. I would think you will be able to clear the code, but take care doing so. Depending on the type monitor in the vehicle, erasing trouble codes may also erase the "freeze frame" data and manufacture enhanced data. You may also get a "not ready or not complete status" message. You would need to go drive the vehicle for a while to reset those monitors. Have the vehicle checked first before a technician to be safe. Hope this helps. I'm not sure.

No, it will tell you the error code, and if it supports your car for more than simple OBDII, will allow you to see various PCM inputs in real time. You will have to know (or learn) what sensors are applicable to the specific error code. The web is great for learning the codes, just be willing to read a lot.

Any car with a OBDII port, that's 1996 and NEWER have the port someplace. Any scanner these days can read the Generic OBDII Engine codes!!! There are also Enhanced OBDII codes that are more Specific for GM, Ford, Chrysler, etc that a cheap Scanner can't read, well some do kind of. Of course there's also ABS, AirBag, Heating

This unit is designed for diagnosing check engine warning lights and does not cover ABS. Some vehicle do allow ABS code read through the OBD II connector, but I do not think your vehicle is one of them. Thanks Ben

Hi dear, Yes it will work but before you pay for it check if it has obd2 connection

it will work to check your engine codes, but you may not be able to monitor things like boost pressure or exhaust gas temperature. I've used my name to diagnose my 2012 Volkswagen Jetta TDI

Should not be a problem if you have an OBD2 port for connecting it to. You can call them from their website: http://www.innova.com/en-US/Product/FullDetail/f7e60b59-30a7-4a6b-85dc-af3ba9dc04fb. Click on the "Contact Us" button in the upper left of the screen. It is an 800 number.

Hi, Unfortunately you will not be able to read abs codes or sir codes with this adapter. However you can read CEL or check engine light codes and emissions related information by downloading the torque pro app from the android market. To do abs and sir codes you will need a proper scan tool and not just a cheap one. These can be priced anywhere from $200+ to $1000+

Hey Gary 590-200 fits a 2005 chevy silverado I installed it with no issues with fit or compatabity. Unfortunately it didn't resolve the service engine light on my vehicle. I have contemplated changing both due to this and am not sure if I had a defective unit. Best of luck, make sure to disconnect the power before installation. Fyi- you do NOT have to reset the codes, the installation should clear the warning light according to Dorman Tech Rep.Best of luck.John W./Bay Area CA
