well i got my new scan tool today and it does the same thing the old one does, which makes me wonder if the pcm is going bad, which could explain why the car has been acting weird, any help on this would be appriciated. i have also noticed that the wires to terminals f and h are missing, i am using this as a reference: http://autorepair.about.com/library/...l-dtcs-36a.htm

I just talked with him on YM. He'* checking for ground on Pin B, and tracing all the wires from the connector as far back as he can. I suspect a broken wire between the connector and the PCM, or perhaps a PCM as he mentioned.

Can the gearheads give us wire colors and destinations for the pinout on the connector?

im picking up a multimeter tomorow on my way to work, but this is probly the pcm, there are more and more symptoms adding up that are pointing to my pcm, such as my gauges randomly not working, having no ses soon light working, the car is running rough and now i cant read codes, in case this is the pcm can anyone sugguest a good place to get an aftermarket pcm

ok i got the tool working but the gm cartridge is faulty as far as the terminal goes, ill wait till it get my new cartridge to see if i still have a problem or not

Help me out here....how do you know if the scantool is good, and the cartridge is bad? What'* it doing? I'd like to know if this ever happens to me. You got the Actron, right?

i hooked up the ford cartridge, i didnt know u didnt have to have it pluged into a car to get it to worked

So the ford cartridge works (with the ALDL not connected), and the GM doesn't?
