I have a 1993 GMC C1500 with a 4.3L engine, TBI and a 4L60E transmission, California emissions. I have not pulled the ECM to read any numbers on the label or the chip, but I've found that code mask $E6 works for this truck. TunerPro and ALDLDroid both identify the PROM ID as 24AF.
I've used an FTDI USB to 5v serial cable with tx and rx tied together to connect to the ALDL connector and it's nice to be able to get some realtime data out of it along with being able to check for trouble codes without having to do the paperclip thing. But I'm wondering what else I can do now that I have a working ALDL interface. Has anyone done any reverse-engineering and perhaps figured out any of the mode 4 (or other) commands that can be sent to the ECM to perform certain diagnostic or maintenance/repair tasks? I'm specifically interested in TPS and IAC relearn and bleeding or flushing the ABS module. If the truck were just a few years newer I'm sure I could do all of these things with a bluetooth OBD2 adapter and the right app, but I haven't found a lot of information on these OBD1 systems.
