As you already have noted, My Dodge Neon 95 OBDII Connectors only have the
following pins: 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 11 - 16

But the 1 - 2 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 12 - 13 - 14 - 15 are NOT used (empty)...This Is Correct??

-----------------------------------------------

Thanks provinggrounds, for your suggestion about ¨Autozone¨, but since the Dodge Neon use to many Electronic Parts and Sensors, I prefer to have my own scanner to make the tests...

Regards

I just wentand looked at my 95 Neon it has exactly the same pins as yours 3-4-5-6-7-11-16
There are several OBDII protocols that use different sets of pins, that's why there are so many unused pins. Toptak TP-100 and Equus 3100both worked fine.

Thanks neisg1 for taking your time to verify pins!!!

Since the EQUUS-3100c only Displays the Code data Number,
I think that is better to buy the Actron-CP9138S-Spanish-Model,
that always shows Code data Number + Text Displayed on the
LCD Screen...

I am only a little worried about the differences between my 1995
Dodge neon built in Toluca Mexico, and the US made 1995
Neon...Anyone knows something??

Thanks to all for Helping me to get a good scanner!!

Best Regards

Juanbosco

The only big difference is the clutch assembly. Mexico built neons all had a non-modular clutch assembly. Some US built neons had a non-modular also, but not all of them.

So, the only differences between them is the clutch assembly? ... And the PCM are the same?

My 1995 Dodge neon (built in Toluca Mexico) have an AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE......Is This Non-Modular_Clutch_Assembly Better?...It for use on MANUAL TRANSAXLE ONLY?

Centerforce DF973973 NEO4 Dual Friction Clutch Kits - 2.0L 120" ENG. MEXICO BUILT. The 11th Digit of the VIN# is "T"[/b]
http://www.amazon.com/Centerforce-DF...668&sr=8-1

After checking the NEON SERVICE MANUAL and the ¨Vehicle-Safety-Certification-Label¨, had found that the D = Belvidere and T = Toluca...My Neon95 have a ¨T¨ (11th Digit of the VIN# )

Any other suggestions?

The clutch assembly is for the MTX and the 95's do have a different PCM as well. They also have seperate sensors for the MAP and IAT sensors. They are combined on the 96-99 neons.

As Das2123 says, the clutch is the only thing I've come across that I recall being different on the Neon’s made in Mexico vs. the US made ones.

Quote form Haynes manual.
“The vehicles manufactured in Toluca, Mexico assembly plant are equipped with a conventional clutch assembly while the vehicles manufactured from 1996-on in the Belvidere, Michigan plant have a modular clutch assembly that includes a clutch assembly where the clutch and pressure plate and friction disc are an integral unit.â€

If I’m reading this right, all the 1995’s had the same clutch it is the 1996 and newer that are different.

As far at the reader you choose it depends on your personal preference and the $ you have to spend. I have been toying with getting a laptop interface as you can get a lot more information from them than just the codes.http://www.obd2allinone.com/

I don't know of any such links for manuals. There was a download for a 97 Neon factory manual on this forum but it has now been pulled. I assume due to copy right issues.
