OBD system

Is the OBD system in 95 F150 used for engine diagnosis / repair besides emissions compliance ?

'95 is OBD2 so the answer is yes.

Edit - don't listen to me. :-(

1996 was the first year for OBD-II on this vintage truck. Some will argue the 1995 light duty California emission trucks were OBD-II, but I have never seen any Ford documentation stating that to be true.

1995 was still the original OBD, aka OBD-I. Both were used for engine diagnosis / repair as well as the transmission if the truck was equipped with the E4OD or the 4R70W.

'95 had Obi Wan, while '96 had Obi Two.

Could maybe be a couple very late '95's with Obi Two in California if you believe the rumors.

This is the scanner I use to pull problem codes from my '94's OBDI:

Can't speak for the trucks, but I know my friend's '95 Mustang with the V6 had OBD-II. Was quite surprised the first time I worked on it, as I'd just assumed that only '96 and later vehicles of all types had the new system.

On Board Diagnosis(OBD)
OBD-I used for diagnosis only. Check out ForDiag.
OBD-I is read only.
Some OBD-II systems you can read and write.
