That will only scan powertrain codes, not ABS, SRS, or anything like that.
You need pins 4, 5, 7, 15 and 16 to be active.

Powertain = P codes
Depends if your car is EOBD. It's trial and error for this age of car.

Snap on is a expensive brand, same with Sealey, they'll read back dated versions of protocols, thats why they work.
Like I said in the other thread, I used to have Engine Check which cost £70-£80 and that didn't work on mine.
