1994 Buick Regal Custom  has the  12 pin  OBD1 connector.   This

connector is missing the B (diagnostic pin).  All other pins are there.

I was hoping to be able to jumper this to clear the SES history,  and

also to use as a diagnostic tool,  because jumpering the pin to ground

activates a lot of solenoids for troubleshooting purposes.

It looks as though the pin was intentionally left out...

Is there a workaround for this problem....???

(I already have an xray scan tool which does not clear SES codes and can't afford a tech1
for home car repair use).

Thanking you in advance...

PIN "B" is intentionally missing. Just disconnect the battery for a minute
or so to clear the codes. I don't understand why the XRay won't clear the
codes. I made my own scan tool and I can clear the codes. Or maybe it's
clearing the history codes but the codes you are seeing are current

Oops !!! My bad...   I checked the drop down menus on the auto xray
tool and found the procedure for clearing the codes.  Thanks !!!

Steve,  What does it take to create your own scan tool?
