Default Auto Xray

I picked up a used Autoxray EZlink. I am trying to get data from my 1986 corvette. It says that it connects but when I try to get live data it doesn't show any values. Am I missing something or can I not get live values with such an old car?

You can get values with that scanner. Try using a 1987 corvette and see if it works. I noticed that the 1986 data does not always display correctly with the AutoXray but it always works when you select 1987 and use it on the 1986. The 1986 through 1989 computers are the same they just have different program files.

Thanks!

Entering 1987 didn't work but entering 1985 allowed the Autoxray to connect to the car and report the values.
