Chrysler DRB II Scan Tool (for '89 XJ)

You got the ChryCo connector - not the RENIX.

As previously stated, the RENIX system doesn't really "store" or "throw" codes - and the main data you will get is realtime driveability date. There are two scanners that I know will work - the ChryCo DRB-II/MS1700 and the Snap-On MT2500 - both will work with proper adapters, but the Snap-On will be easier to find.

Most diagnostics are done anymore with the RENIX system and a good DMM - and I've got a project afoot (lapsed, but in the works) to come up with a low-buck RENIX data reader, probably either PalmOS or PC based.

Meanwhile, I'd hate to say you got screwed (you didn't - that connector will work, I believe, on 1991-1995XJ and other ChryCo products) but until you find the RENIX adapter and "brain" you won't be able to use it on your rigs. Might take some digging.

Did you ever complete your renix data reader?
