OBD-II varients

I figured I'd pose this question to the POT brain trust....

My wife's 2001 Jaguar XJ8 is setting a CEL (Check Engine Light), but my OBD-II reader shows no codes. The reader will turn the CEL off, but the light returns a day later.

With great curiosity I've been searching the Web for an answer. It appears there is a CAN-OBDII "standard". When did this take effect? Is this why I can't display the code(s)? I have a non-CAN reader, and a CAN-OBII car?
