GM OBD/OBD2 Codes

Accessing GM OBD1 Trouble Codes

  • Turn ignition switch to OFF position
  • Locate Data Link Connector (DLC), see image below.
  • Jumper the A&B terminals(a paper clip or a jumper wire work ok)
  • Turn Ignition switch to ON position.
  • Count the flashes on the “CHECK ENGINE” or “SERVICE ENGINE” light.
  • FLASH, pause, FLASH, FLASH = code 12
  • NOTE: Some 94 & 95 models do not have the B terminal. In which case a scanner is required.
  • NOTE: Some 94 & 95 models that DO have the A & B terminals still require a scanner.
  • All vehicles after 96 are OBDII,and require a scanner to access them.
GM Data Link Connector

12 Pin DLC

A – Ground
F – TCC
B – Test Terminal
G – Fuel Pump
C – Air Injection
H – Brake Sense Speed Input
E – Serial Data
M – Serial Data

Clearing Trouble Codes

Diagnostic trouble codes may be cleared by disconnecting the battery ground cable for at least 20 seconds. Reconnect negative battery cable and recheck codes to confirm the repair.
