I think you are still running OBDI. If so it's like my L98 and C12 is just a check value. Not too familar with the 95 LT1 so I might be mistaken.

Yes, last year of OBD I with a few OBD II characteristics thrown in just to make it interesting!

C 12 indicates that the diagnostic system is operating & that you have no stored DTC'S in the CCM.

You are OBD I with some OBD II codes that were inserted prior to mandatory compliance to II in 96
for testing purposes.

A blank DIC screen is a good DIC screen.

I was reading your reply sounds like you are familiar with the Codes for my 1991 C4 I am having trouble understanding the display. I jotted down a few of the numbers: I hope you can help me understand this please.

Module 1.2
01=174
02=0
03=16
04=599 or 533 hard to tell a 9 from a 3
05=0
06=35 or 95
07=122
08=11.6
09=85
10=71
11=100
12=100
13=148
last parameter had no number assigned -- 3 180 123

sorry I am not sure what VATS is exactly -- but I couild not make out the difference between a 3 and a 9 on the digital read out. So it is one of the two. I have to get a younger person to read the screen. I assume 06 is a 35. Do you know what or where to find the a description of the numbers I am seeing?

thank you so much for the info. Going to those pages now in my FSM. Thanks again. I have been having AC control head issues. AC is fine but it is not controlling when I reset the codes it works using 1.7 and 4.7 weird. I also know I do not have a reference to ground negative battery terminal to the engine so I am going to check my grounding points.
