    Default Read codes from other OBDII vehicles?

    I'm 99% sure I already know the answer, but can EFI Live (Flashscan V1) read basic failure codes from non-GM OBDII vehicles? Trying to help a friend with a 1999 Honda/Isuzu SUV.

    Thanks,

    Hi Ryan, welcome to the forum...

    It cannot read OBD-II from any vehicle that does not use either of the following:
    - GM Class 2 (J1850, VPW),
    - CAN/ISO 15765 (GM LAN/CAN);

    so your friend's Honda is not supported;

    his Isuzu may use a GM PCM/ECM, so it may (or may not) be possible to read OBD-II data and generic pids; it probably is not.

    Cheers
    Joe
