You have a off year. You have to get a special reader. You have an obdI system with an obd II port.

you can use an obd1 scanner you just have to jump the pins with a wire. check shbox.com for the diagram on which pins. 95 was a crossover year so they put the obd2 port but with an obd1 computer. ive heard some late 95s were obd2 but not sure.

ShoeBox website

AKM Cables

You can get the correct cable from AKM Cables and use a laptop to scan your car for codes.
