from what i've seen on my bench(no scope), even with no MEMCAL attached(just a PROM) and setting a LOT of error codes, it still seemed to fire based on the setting in the BIN. i'm pretty certain it's only used in limp-home mode for fueling, since limp-home spark is done via the EST module without bypass voltage applied.
EDIT: easiest way to determine limp-home: ALDL will not function, since the PROM is entirely bypassed.
