OBD I and II is a federally mandated protocol for auto manufacturers who wish to sell in the US. It only covers emissions related items. OBD I was the first iteration and ended in 95/96, when they mandated OBD II (more informative/advanced). Your 97 will need a OBD II scanner. You can either purchase one, or, like Autozone, have your car scanned for free, which is a great service.

The 97 toyota camry is OBD II compliant. That means that a scan tool for OBD I will not work. The scan tool must be capable of OBD II operation. Do yourself a favor and take the car to a reputable shop.

You will have the choice of either obd 1 or 2. Obd 2 requires a scan tool which connect to a 16 pin connector usually no more than 2 to 4 foot if I am not mistaken. To do OBD 1. use the link i sent to you below. Good Luck.

According to the OBD-II standard, requests to a vehicle's ECU via the OBD-II port are made up of two bytes (excluding header and CRC bytes). The first byte determines the desired mode of operation, and the second byte is the requested parameter identification (PID) number. The ECU will respond with a two byte acknowledgement and possibly some number of data bytes.

how can I safely change the fuel filter in my 2000 grand marquis?

It seems that most people think post '96' vehicles ONLY use O.B.D.II, But most high-end O.B.D.I SCANNERS will up-grade to O.B.D.II. Although, O.B.D.II. is better for post 96' model vehicles, More expensive, yes, BUT better. Snap-on M.T.2500 is one example of O.B.D.I that will upgrade for O.B.D.II. hope this clears this up for you.
