Hi there. The scanner that should work for OBD 1 would be carsoft mb 7 .4 multiplexer. This runs on windows laptop a a d is a relatively cheap scanner.

Don't confuse it with iCarsoft, the handheld version. That one does not work for most 2000 and older versions.

Hope this helps.

Like shock absorbers accumulators can "wear out" in around 100,000 miles. They do not last forever. If that's the case, they need to be replaced.
