Default 1996 XJ is it OBD I or ODB II?

I have a 1996 Jeep XJ Country and I'm trying to figure out if its OBD I or OBD II.

I have gotten it scanned at Auto Zone and have had it scanned with a friends scanner it has the port at the bottom under the steering wheel but the main reason I'm asking is because I bought the Torque app for android to monitor my rpms, gas, speed, etc... and it won't read my jeep but will read my brothers 2006 Trailblazer.

So I'm just curious if it isn't reading it because its not an OBD II?

Anyone have any ideas?

Agree. I believe that was mandated to be OBDII in 1996.
