Sorry ... posted the ECM / CCM link too quickly (been working with an ECM / CCM issue for the last couple of weeks now and posted the wrong link)

RRT Vette gave you the correct codes ...

Good luck ...

I have a 91.
Use a paper clip to connect A & B together.
IIRC it doesn't work if you ground A & B. It may but the procedure calls for A & B to be jumpered together.

Do not start the engine.
Turn the key to the on position.

Count the SYS light flashes.

First should be 1 flash folled by 2 flashes. That's code 12 and is the default code even if there are no stored error codes.

After THREE code 12's the next error code will be flashed THREE times.

Count the flashes for the first number. Count the flashes for the second number.

Flash.....Flash Flash = 12
Flash Flash ...... Flash Flash Flash Flash = 24

After all the stored error codes are flashed THREE times the ECM will start over and flash 12 THREE time and the sequence just repeats itself.

It's crude but it works and it's cheap.
