VX and VY – The NA V6 uses a flash based PCM, this also added some new ALDL modes for the security system. A regular message containing all the dash information is sent at the request of the BCM. The VT took the data bus further by also including the instrument cluster. It is also 8192 baud but the major difference is the bus master is no longer the PCM but instead the BCM. VT – This is a very similar implementation to the VR and VS ALDL. PCM Device ID - $F4 for VR V8, VR V6 and VS V8. This way only the device that is addressed process’s and responds to the packet, all the others ignore the data. Every device on the bus has a device ID, so when data packets are put on the bus it is ‘addressed’ to a particular device. In VR and VS applications the bus master is the ECM/PCM. This data bus allows for only one device to communicate at a time and connects all the major modules – BCM, ABS, SRS, ECM etc. The purpose of the transceiver is to convert the transmit and receive lines of the processor UART into a single wire half-duplex data bus to allow the ECM to communicate on the vehicle bus. It is a bi-directional half-duplex data link using a hardware UART in the processor and a Delco/Delphi transceiver IC. VR/VS – The second and probably the most widely used type is 8192 baud, this is also used in many GM built US vehicles from the mid/late 80s to the late 90s and often referred to as OBD-I. When ALDL is enabled the CEL will flash with the data. On every interrupt a bit is applied to the CEL wire, 6.25ms = 160Hz or 160baud. The 160 baud rate is due to the ECM operating with 6.25ms minor loop interrupts. It is ok for slow data speeds but puts too much load on the microprocessor for high baud rates.

Bit banging is a method to transmit serial data using only software rather than a hardware UART. The ECM uses a ‘bit-banging’ technique on the CEL (Check Engine Light) wire to flash data out bit by bit. It operates at 160 baud and is a uni-directional (read only) data link. VN/VP – This was the first implementation, was also the most basic and is the only implementation that uses ALDL for purely diagnostic purposes. There are a few different implementations of ALDL… It is used for a variety of things from, as the name suggests, initial system testing when the vehicle is manufactured to vehicle module communications to diagnostics at the dealer/home to real-time tuning. What It is and What Can It Do: ALDL stands for Assembly Line Diagnostic Link. 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.About: This information will be updated from time to time and serves as a basic introduction to GM ALDL, specifically aimed at GM Holden Commodores.

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. GM used 12 pin OBD1 type and 16 pin OBD2 type connectors on 94 & 95 vehicles. Q - Will this cable work with my 94/95 3800 OBD1.5?Ī - Yes it will.
