I need to find a hand held scanner for the 1994, 1995 century. For these 2 years it has to be a hand held digital computer "scanner" that interfaces with the computer on board the car. Do you know if they still make them? The aldl only has 3 wires going to it and 'b' is not one of them so you can not jump it with a paper clip. It is a 12 pin like the older model versions but it only uses 3 of them. Thanks and please don't send me to that site that tells you how to jump them! It wont work.

Good morning.

The simple answer is no. There are no handheld scanners for this special ALDL. You need the full scan tool to access the data and codes.

The old snap on MT2500 did the job as well as other manufacturers.
