What is an OBD1 to OBD2 Adapter?
OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics and is a system that provides diagnostics and monitoring of a vehicle's performance. Older vehicles, such as those from Peugeot and Citroën, often have an OBD1 connector with a unique 30-pin configuration, making it difficult to use standard OBD2 diagnostic tools. This adapter solves the problem by enabling a 16-pin OBD2 connection, which is the norm in modern cars.
