Mazda / Toyota 17 Pin OBD1 - 16 Pin OBD2

OBD1, also known as the first generation of On-Board Diagnostics, was introduced in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The purpose of this system was to monitor and regulate vehicle emissions in accordance with environmental regulations.

It is important to note that while OBD1 is useful for diagnosing certain problems, it is not as advanced as later OBD systems. For example, OBD1 cannot provide detailed information about specific problems, nor can it detect all types of fault codes.

Nevertheless, the 17-pin OBD1 connector in older Mazda and Toyota cars remains a useful tool for diagnosing and troubleshooting. However, it is always advisable to consult a professional when dealing with vehicle diagnostics to avoid potential damage or misinterpretations.

This adapter cable turns an OBD-1 connection into an OBD-2 connection. To read your Mazda, you will need an OBD1 diagnostic device in addition to this.

Using this adapter cable, older Toyota and Mazda models prior to 2001 can also be read with a compatible reader.
