Hello,

I just bought the below product hoping to connect it to my 1998 EK4 Civic VTI (B16a2). It's an OBD2 scan tool.

The problem is, I couldn't find any OBD2 connection slot on my car. I did a search in ek9.org and according to the below thread, my car is not equipped with such port.

The only connection that I can find that may be relative is the 2-pin service check connector.

My question:

Is there any way that I can connect the ELM327 scan tool to my car? Has anyone found a solution for such connectivity issues?


By the way, I need the scan tool for my android app for track racing (aLapHD Recorder). I will be attending a time attack at Istanbul Park F1 Circuit tomorrow and I want to analyse as much data as I can after the TA. Data such as, rpm, throttle position, load etc. If I can somehow connect the two pin service check connector to the scan tool by wiring, can I get any data from the device?
 
You should look on the other side, it should be near your center console, probably in the passenger side footwell on the right side.. there should be this larger brown/beige or grey connector where you can plug it in to :)

I see you are from Turkey, so you probably have a Left Hand Drive EK4 ? so then it would be the drivers side footwell on the right side :) so the left side of your center console :)

hope this helps :)
 
Elm327 is a EOBD compatable device only, EOBD only became compulsary it 2001, basically not compatable with a 2000 civic
