OBD software protocol
Does anyone on the forum have access to the software protocol used in the OBD for the Vettes?
Seems like most "scanners" do just that. They dont allow for us normal folks to do what is in the service manuals, i.e., direct a module to do a task or look at the status of an indicator.
If someone had that, a software package could be made that would talk to the OBD hardware and do this for us for a lot less that a Tech 2 scanner would cost (~$3k).
As an alternate plan if no one has access to this, would someone be willing to loan a tech 2 so the protocol could be reverse engineered??
I think there would be a lot of interest in this, just need some info, time and hardware.
