I have a 1995 Isuzu Rodeo built in June of 1995. It has 1996 interior in from the factory. I cannot find the Data Link port for reading my engine codes. Is this a 12 pin or a 3 pin socket?

honda/rodeo clone with the correct motor fitted
what was the question ?

The Isuzu V engine is a family of all-aluminum 75° V6 gasoline engines produced by Isuzu . ... This engine featured 175 hp from 1993-1995 and 190 hp from 1996-1997. ... in Japan, and in North America as Isuzu Rodeo and the Honda Passport . .... engine was Isuzu's newly developed 4.2L, DOHC 32 valve V8 engine, and ...

my guess, you are in uSA
with 1995 rodeo. with unstated engine
and wont to use a 1996 scan tool on a 1995 car usa
OBD2 will not work on your 95
the 95 uses custom tools, read $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
95 is OBD2
in canada even 97 fails. for obd2 started there in 1998;.

see no in the engine bay at all, like the 1 guess

1st learn to read the codes all by self. it's like USA Indian smoke signals. the delay it the end tells you it's a repeat.
most cars repeat forever , 1 code or many. (OBD1 typical)
44 is O2 lean on one engine .

No engine displacement stated, so .. very hard to answer.
for 100% sure discover what engine is in car, no guessing...
all this is in the FSM.
did you read it?
and autozoned is the last place on earth to ask. (clerks)
and this jewel !!
For Passport procedure, refer to ''Isuzu'' Rodeo.
wiki that, it is true.
and has the ISUZU ECU and ways and means.....
and quotes:
1993-95 Rodeo models W/3.2L engine, connect a jumper wire between data link connector terminals 1 and 3.
and
. On 1993-95 Rodeo models W/3.2 engine, the data link is located under the left hand side of the instrument panel. On all models, turn the ignition switch to the On position. At this point, the "Check Engine" light should flash.

1996 isuzu bighorn, diesel the engine check light comes on and when it does the rev counter stops working and engine runs rough and stalls

This is straight from Haynes Repair Manual for 1989-1997 Isuzu Amigo/Rodeo/Honda Passport (book # 47017:
The 12 pin Assembly Line Data Link (ALDAL) terminal is located under the dash on the driver's side on 3.1L engines. To retrieve the trouble codes, connect a jumper wire to terminals A and B. It may be covered with a plastic cover. They suggest using a paper clip to jumper the two terminals-then turn ignition switch to ON position (NOT ENGINE START). Check engine light on dash will flash-one flash-a pause-then two short flashes-indicating code 12-diagnostic mode. After self checking-if there are any trouble codes-the light will flash proper codes using mentioned method.Note the flash code then call a shop with your info for what ails your Rodeo.

No they are not compatible. They changed the crank between 95 and 96. I have a 96 that needed an engine swap and the dealer that I bought it from was paying for the engine, he bought a 95 engine and after a month of trying the mechanic said no way no how, the crank between the two is different.

First, check the battery terminal connections and the battery cables, end-to-end. These should all be clean, tight, no damage. If this doesn't work let me know, we'll try something else.
