I have tried connecting several scan tools to my car and non of them worked. I'm trying to get images of the wiring diagram on the ports. Can anyone help me out?

Good afternoon,

There are three possible connectors for 1995. I attached them all for you to view.

Please tell me which one you have.

I'm not sure which it would be. Below is a picture of mine. It only has three pins on it.

Got it.

You have the oddball connector. You cannot bring out blink codes on that connector. You need someone with an OBD 1 scan tool with the correct connector to access the system.

GM used that for one year. It was a transition year to OBD2.

It will not adapt to any OBD2 reader. It has to be for an OBD1 system only.
I had one for the old snap on MT 2500. I had to buy it separately from snap on.
