1996 P30 OBD1 w/ OBD2 connector

Don't know it an issue of running our of connectors, as much as wanting to identify a different standard and baud rate from the older ECMs. When they switched to the 7427 ECM, it was a major advancement in the evolution of computer engine management.

If you want to really read what your engine is doing, you can purchase a connector/adapter here. Yes, you can build one for less than 20 bucks, but time you buy a USB to serial adapter and find one that actually works, you are better off to just buy the complete table.
Download TunerPro RT software here.
Download a datastream definition file, (so the software knows your ECM) here.

A lot of auto parts stores will read the codes for you.

I agree I probably have a left over 95 chassis even though my build dates are 4/96 for the p-30 chassis and 6/96 for the Itasca. The 454 tbi was standard and the vortec 454 was an option. But what gets me made about all this is all vehicles built after 1/96 were supposed to be OBD 2 and mines not and for added mess up they ran out of OBD 1 connectors and used the OBD 2 connector but the pins don't match. My OBD 2 scanner doesn't work as the only pins I have are 5, 6 & 9 and a OBD1 scanner won't work on a OBD 2 connector.

Hi John,

If you 96 MH is 454 TBI, then it's on a 95 chassis with OBD I. 96 was the first year for the port injected Vortec 454 w/OBD II.
Most OBD II code readers should be backward compatible with you MH.
