How do I pull the code on a 96 please?
I have recently seen the SES light come on while backing out the driveway. I did what I needed to do and when I pulled it back into the drive the light went on again. I have pulled the codes on my 90 a bunch of times. Heck I even made a ummm Diacom cable (not to sell but because I am thrifty) to use on the 90. I am leery of sticking anything in the ALDL of the 96 though. What is the easy inexpensive and surefire way to check the 96 please?
All help is appreciated.

For free? The price is right. I did do some searching after I posted and found a source for scanner hardware/software. They are a few miles from where I work also. The Autozone visit sounds like a great short term solution. Thanks!

On the later cars, you can make all the codes come up on the dash! :D
The only tool you need is a jumper wire. :thumbs:
The procedure is in the GM manual.
I think I've got a scan of it on my harddrive.

What's OBDII mean? Really, I'm serious, I don't know!
96's being OBDII, they require a scan tool to pull codes.

I wonder if they didn't want to have to port the LT5 over to OBDII logic?
The cost to modify a LT-5 with OBDII would have added to much money for a $30K option whose platform (C4) was only going to be around another year.
