Repurposing the Vanagon OXS light for OBD 1 codes requires some rewiring:? ? And if your Vansagon OXS light still ]ights up you can fake it with this :? until you fix it.? But you are best off contacting your installer, he should have gotten this working for a CA customer, ? ? Stuart ?

Thanks. It¡¯s definitely not coming on during start up/ignition. I can take the dash off, have done that. What should I be looking for? Wiring issue at the light itself? Bad ignition switch? Ground missing somehow? Other?? Tc ? I feel for you. My wife didn't bother to change the address for her 98 Yukon when we moved here to Nipomo from the Bay area. Try finding a Star inspection station in south SLO county. Finally found one in Oceana. I would go back to California Westys as the install doesn't sound complete. ? Terry All they need to see is the light to come on when you turn the key. If it's not coming on then, maybe it is not hooked up, or something like that. ?
