Do you already know how to read diagrams and know some about electrical, and just need the specific book for your certain vehicles? Or you know nothing about electrical and need a generic book about electricity?

You will learn a lot from this book, I did. You have a later OBDII system, but a lot of the principles still apply from this book.
