Actron CP9145 Scantool and 96-99 Bonnevilles?
Anyone with an Actron CP9145 and a 96-99 Bonneville?
I have an Actron CP9145 Scantool and although I knew it wasn’t the scantool to end all scantools, for the money I thought it was a good deal.
Anyways, in using it on my ’97 SSEi, I have been a little disappointed in the amount of live data it was showing, specifically, the lack of KR and Transmission Temperature.
I have asked a couple of people about this in PM’* that have the same model, and thier tool shows these perameters, but there Bonnes are pre-96.
This last weekend, I got the OBDI connector cable and scanned a member’* ’93 SSE and WOW, all sorts of additional data showed up (including KR and trans temp) that I have never seen on my scantool, before.
So, this has lead me to asking what other members with the Actron CP9145 and a ’97 (maybe ’96, ’98 or 99 Bonne) see when scanning for live data.
Thanks for the input.

You know, I have an Autoxray, but haven't used it all that much, so far. This weekend, I'll hook it back up and see what I can see. Maybe it'* a '97 thing?
Of course, so far all we have to go by are 2 '97s, lol.
Anyone else?

And I was wondering if there was a way to tap into that or read them... There has to be something I'm missing... If there isn't I'll be buying another tool and giving this one to my friend

Never noticed any display identifying number of PID'*....I have just hooked it up and began scrolling though the perameters (only to be disappointed by lack of data). Luckily I have a friend with an Autotap, so real data readings can be obtained. And, if we can't find a way for the actron to display the other data, it will at least make a good paperweight
