I'm running a '98 V70 (of Canadian distribution)and would like to acquire an OBD code reader for it. I've been reading reference material off the Web, and need reassurance regarding the OBD connector pinout. Specifically, my info says that the ISO 9141-2 protocol puts "metallic contacts in pins 4,5,7,15,16". In my vehicle the pinout is 3,4,5,7,13,16. Not much variation, but just how critical is this aspect anyway? Since I read somewhere that OBD code readers are non-returnable (which constraint I'd be certain to verify before buying) I want to be sure to have the proper product in hand going out the door. Any comments - I'm especially interested in hearing from anyone who's got experience with the Canadian issue 1998 V (as in vanilla) 70. Any other comments regarding OBD readers would also be gratefully absorbed - I've also done due diligence with the search machine.
Thanks
