Can a OBD2 connector replace obd1?

pulled dash from 2000 tahoe today. The obd2 port was still attached. Can i wire it where the obd1 from the 93 was when i replace dash?

Are you asking to see if it will make obd2?

Are you changing ecm's???
There would be no reason to swap ports if you didn't swap them. As far as I know, they are speaking two different languages.

Yes. so if i get a CEL , 9/10 im nowhere near somew with a scanner. So if it was jjst a simple rewire i would get one of those bluetooth obd2 readers.

Ok. easy enough. Not gona do anything with it then

It's just a connector...a plastic component that houses electrical terminals. So, yes, it can replace an OBD-1 connector as long as the terminals from the OBD-2 connector are removed and can fit into the replacement OBD-1 connector.

Would that allow it to be read by a bluetooth module or a obd2 reader?

Just having an obd2 port doesn’t make it obd2. If you swapped in your wiring to that port, that would really screw with someone working on your truck.

I didnt kniw if they read the same way. Sorry for confusion

OBD-2 scan tools usually have backwards compatability with OBD-1. So, assuming the circuits are wired correctly when you transplant the dash, the OBD-2 scan tools would still be able to interface with your [OBD-1] ECU.

I was just trying to imagine a tech looking at a 93 and being really confused as to why it had an obd2 port.

I had a95 s10 blazer with obd2 plug from the factory. It was an obd1 truck. I had a cable for that combo that came with my aldl stuff so I could read obd1 data. They are wired differently than the obd2 computers. 1 year oddball and the only one I've seen. All the rest of the 95's I've seen were obd1 plugs
