Is My Vehicle Compatible

FourStroke works with OBDII (On-board Diagnostic) equipped vehicles. Due to regulations many countries since 1996 have required all vehicles sold to be OBD2 compliant. OBD2 is a general term and is often interchanged with JOBD, EOBD, OBD II.

Confirming Compatibility

If you have a vehicle that the table above does not cover consult your owners manual or check under the hood of your vehicle for a sticker indicating that the vehicle is OBD2 Certified. Most OBD2 compliant vehicles have a sticker indicating OBD2 Certification. See below for several examples.

My vehicle has the OBD connector, isn’t it compatible?

Not necessarily. Some vehicles have an older OBD configuration (i.e. OBD1) which is not compatible. Some manufacturers included this port before they implemented OBD2.
