CAN protocol?
My '97 ZJ (grand cherokee) has a stamp in the engine bay that reads "Made in
Cananda". Does this mean that it has a CAN protocol regarding a OBDII scanner? I'm looking to purchase a scanner, and don't want to buy the wrong one. Thanks |

On-Board Diagnostics II being anything other than an a Bleeding heart liberal wacko greenie limp's screw up: therefore there would only be an American standard.
