what's an obd1 scan tool?????
OBD2 cars use a scan tool to communicate to the ECU and report codes, OBD1 does not.
OBD1 uses a paperclip. see the sticky at the top of the furom for everything you need to know on how to pull codes and what they mean.

My guess is it is the tool in the third droor down on the right hand side of my tool box. And no, it's not a ******* paper clip. There is a plug that will fit into the three wire connector that is next to the two wire where you would jump it with a paper clip.
Don't open your mouth unless you truly know what is going on.

since I've never heard of it, please tell me what it is, who makes it.
I honestly thought there was no such thing. I've certainly never heard of it mentioned on PGMFI.org or on here.
is it a simple diagnostic tool for pulling codes or will it perform data polling like it's OBD2 counterpart?

yep whatever he said. Use the 3 wire connector green, not the 2 wire that you use for a paperclip, along with a honda adaptor. It sometimes won't work on old scanners. I got it to work on a new Snap-On brick with graphing functions (gave me codes and data), but couldn't get it to work on the old one (it would just give me codes no data).
Once again Snap-On scanner. It really expensive so unless you got one laying around I would just find a obdII ecu and diagnose with that. It's got to be a new one old one doesn't give you data, just codes. I don't know about any other scan tools that are able to communicate with honda obd I systems, enought to retreat codes. Maybe something honda dealership level scanner.

yeah it's for obdII only I think. Either way I think only a new brick will work. Modis is still kind of getting developed I haven't tried that one on that connector.
