I apologize. The HMA Service website is your best bet!

Any car that uses an OBD2 computer system can accept the S-AFC, just so long as you have the patience to match up the wires.</div>

Q: What is OBD2? More specifically, what does it stand for? Is/was there an OBD1? It's only for use with MAFS correct and if so what does the rest of the world use with their MAP?

thanks

OBD = On Board Diagnostics, we're now at version 2.

OBD (1 and 2) were specified by the United States for emissions requirements on all vehichles made after a certain date. I don't know the date for OBD1, but all cars imported to the US needed OBD2-compliant computer systems for all vehichles manufactured after 1996. Several cars before 1996 had OBD2 systems anyway, such as Neons.

For the OBD2 system to work appropriately, it needs electrical feedback from numerous onboard sensors. Any car that works with the North American OBD2 system has the proper wiring to connect an S-AFC or similar unit.

Oh sorry, other deal just really quick:

MAF versus MAP versus (insert other wierd air intake sensors here) are completely dependant on what the manufacturer wants to use. An OBD2 system can operate on any air metering system, it's just a matter of whatever they decide to use.

Honda Civic Si uses a very advanced OBD2 system, and uses MAP senors as well. Same goes for the Audi's and VW's, et al. OBD2 isn't limited to only one type of air intake sensor...

Thanks Red!
