Diagnostic port on a 1995 BA
Hey there people, I've been looking around for some info on diagnostic port for my 1995 BA. Is it OBD or OBD2 or a mazda specific system? I've been reading that OBD2 came around 1996 but some 1995 cars do have it. Any info would be very much appreciated... Thanks

have a look under the steering column of your car, its usually to the left hand side, should look like a plug. Let us know.

I don't think any of the CBA/BAs were OBD compliant - only the US BH/BHA Proteges
But the diagnosis plug is next to the fuse box in the engine bay of a BA

yes the only diagnostic port is mazda-specific and in the engine bay next to the fuse box.
The pinout is possibly printed under the lid |

There is a small diagnosis box just above the fuse box. Can any of you guys recommend a diag tool for this kind of port?

yup thats the one I was talking about.
The diagnostic port gives numbered codes that indicate any errors. A mechanic should be able to read the errors for you or you can build your own 'reader' with a LED and resistor. Instructions may be on this site somewhere. What exactly are you after ? You can get a lot of information just with a multimeter |

And yes again that OBD and OBD II are U.S. standards and pretty much only found on U.S. sold cars.

my multimeter has an audible 'beep' for continuity and a tacho , dwell etc.
But yes if you don't have that - a test light and jumper wire does most things |
