My understanding is that cars built for the 96 model year are the first that have OBDII (On Board DIagnostics version 2). My car, despite being built in October '95 is a 96 model year and has OBDII. The way you can check if it is model year 95 or 96 is from the 10th character of the VIN. If it is an "S", it is 95, if it is a "T" it is 96.
Hope this helps.
