All free software programs require you to make or buy a cable that can be used to connect your laptop to the ECM’s communication port (ALDL connector). Q - Can I get a version of the 16 pin cable with the switchable 10K O resistor?Ī - No, GM never required the 10K ohm resistor on the 16 Pin OBD1 vehicles and thus my 16 Pin cable has none. Both Craig Moates’ and Jonas Bylund’s free ALDL software are very popular among the DIY crowd and both are very functional programs (and get even more functional as time progresses). If you have questions on the 10K ohm resistor contact me. On MOST ECMs the 10K ohm resistor either does not affect the ECM operation, OR the 10K ohm resistor is needed for data flow. Q - Why would I want to disable the resistor?Ī - On a few select ECMs the 10K O resistor is not needed for the data flow but does alter the idle speed and timing.

Q - Can I disable the 10K ohm A-B resistor?Ī - Yes the 10K resistor can be switched off on the 12 Pin version. Q - Does this cable include the 10K ohm A-B resistor needed on many 12 Pin 160 Baud ECMs? Q.- Will this work with my 94-95 6.5 Turbo-Diesel?Ī - Yes it will however you will have to download and use GMTD Scan Basic (free) or GMTD Scan Tech ($) from Make sure you order the cable that fits your cars connector. This cable is intended to be used with cars and trucks using GM ECM/PCMs originally equipped with 12 pin ALDL connectors in the 1982 to 1995 era. GM used 12 pin OBD1 type and 16 pin OBD2 type connectors on 94 & 95 vehicles. ALDL OBD1 Cable Instructions This package includes an ALDL Cable w/ OBD1 12 pin connector. Q - Will this cable work with my 94/95 3800 OBD1.5?Ī - Yes it will.
