Identifying OBD Type ?
 

Quick question for you folks. Is there anyway you can identify the OBD type on your ECU ? Im not looking for someone to say "XYZ engine is OBD type x" Im looking for a way of finding it out myself.

What should I be looking for codes on the ECU itself ? or are things as simple as "Year XYZ Is OBD X" etc.

Thanks for your input folks.

different obd's have different looking plugs on the ecu... that's you best bet in dermining the obd

Curious but how do you decide what is OBD2a and OBD2b then ? Does what your saying apply to all cars regardless of whether they are sold in the US or the UK ?

Cheers man,

Cheers man, I shall go checkout my ECU when I get some daylight. Curious but is there anyway of finding out what ECU you have by hooking it up to a pc ? I know you can buy specific diagnostic equipment but can you fabricate anything to work with a standard PC ?

Thanks all for your help, hopefully this thread will help others asking the same question !
