You may have to go to a garage and have it scanned. Or buy a scan tool that has the proper cable to scan the '95.

**********. The orientation I was telling you to hold it would have put them both on the left.

^^^


and anyone suggest a scanner to use? do they normally have this problem? what scanner does everyone else use on their 94/95's? even better does anyone have a 94/95 that can goto schukers, kragen, oreilly.. whatever their kragen owned store is and try to see if their scanner will scan your car? im at a loss, shoebox says its probably not the PCM so that will be my last resort. i really need to get these codes scanned

Where do you live? I have AutoTap and can scan it if you're close.

I have an Auto Xray ez-scan 5000 that scans OBDI and II. It will scan a '95, as I've used it on some friends cars. However, it appears it is no longer available. The 6000 or 7000 will also do it.

If you have a laptop, there are other options.

www.autoxray.com/product_category.php?id=338

If you look around the web, you can find these cheaper than are listed on the site.

You need the cable with the OBDII connector for a 95 Camaro or you could get the one that has both connectors if you want to use it on both 94 and 95 Camaros. I use the AKM usb cable with Vista and it works fine with Tunercats and Datamaster.
