ODBII was required in '95 in the US market. I don't believe the other markets in the world required ODBII so maybe not. I will let the more knowledgeable on international models chime in.Good day. Ive got a 97' 1HD FT AUTO Limited VX. It definitely has the OBD 1 (DIAGNOSTIC) socket passenger side in the engine bay. Does this mean it is not OBD2 compatible or could both sockets be there? Cant find the OBD 2 socket in the fuse box area though?
