Guys, looking to buy an OBD2 scanner for my Ls400 1995. I have the Cel on since I got this baby 5 yrs ago.

Below are the options available.

Autel Autolink AL319
Autel Maxiscan MS309
Elm327 Bluetooth

What would've be the best based on your experience?

Thanks,
Shiv

obd2 only 96 and up, unless its a late 95 and has a obd port under the dash left lower of steering wheel

dustyshiv

Yup. It has an OBD2 port.

Got an Elm 327 adapter. On connecting to the obd port, it turns on fine. Pairs successfully with an android phone.
Upon opening the Torque app, it says it has trouble connecting to Ecu. Any workarounds you suggest guys?

where as the car from originally?

OBDII isn't a global standard, only north american cars had it. Other countries had other standards which may not work with OBDII.

You need to use a scanner which is capable to use the communication protocol called Toyota K-line which is widely used for non North American market cars. The ELM327 is not compatible with it.

It's a Notth American Car.

I I'll check on scanners compatible with this protocol.

Thank u again!

AL319 is a great OBD for the price. I used on my 98 Lexus es 300 and Ford F250 to check codes and clean. It worked as expected and help me diagnose my car and truck. it's very easy and fast, i recommended it .

i recommend buying an ultragauge, it shows everything you need while driving + codes and the abilty to erease them.
