Any suggestions for a scan tool for my 92 400e, 94 e320, and a 94 e420? Or does OBDiagnostics.com have OBD-I tools somewhere I'm missing?

Thanks.

No, the old OBD-I models also have codes beyond what just the LED flasher/blinker box will tell you. But you need to have a scanner that will read those codes. I'm having the same problem at the moment, trying to find a scanner which will read the old OBD-I systems with the 38-pin connector (400E / 500E).

Sorry, I should have clarified. Yes, the LED tool does read the 38-pin diagnostics. But for certain codes, it is not specific... for example, on the E-GAS module (pin 7), there are a half-dozen items that can trigger code #2. The LED just shows "code 2". The scanner will specify which of the half-dozen items actually caused code 2 to display.

For those still wondering what I'm talking about, see the attached screen shot... the LED blinker just shows code 2, but with a HHT (hand held tester / scanner), you can pinpoint which of the six sub-codes caused the fault (002, 006, 007, 007, 009, or 025).

I need a scanner / code reader that will read those 3-digit DTC's on an M119 with 38-pin connector.
