Car Forum / Saturn Cars / March 2006OBD II
The 1996 Saturn has the OBD II trouble code system. Can the codes be read by the onboard computer like the OBD i by shorting A and B that allows the computed to flash the numbers or must you have a scanner to read the codes? The Haynes Manual has lots of data on how to read the old system but nothing about the OBD II system.

Advance Auto and Auto Zone will scan them for free. Thanks SnoMan. I'll bet disconnecting the battery does not erace the codes. I did some work on the car and disconnected the battery but the code is still there. PepBoys has a reader for $69.95 I guess that will erase the codes too. Ernie >Thanks SnoMan.

Below is a link to a online OBD2 code definition database if you need one. http://forum.snoman.com/viewtopic.php?t=92 > >Thanks SnoMan. I'll bet disconnecting the battery > >does not erace the codes.
