With your own setup, if your Service Engine Soon ( SES ) light comes on you can look at detailed OBD data for yourself to see what trouble codes have been set and the conditions they were set under, possibly saving you money in repair costs by knowing what is or isn't wrong with your car. What is the reason for having the above setup for yourself? Mainly, you now have a powerful tool to analyze your cars OBD data yourself, better even than the specialized scanning tools only dealerships and big shops had in the distant past. There are basically 3 things you need to record diagnostic data from a GM based On Board Diagnostic 1 ( OBD1 ) system on your 1982 - 1995 era car.ġ - A PC computer, preferably a laptop, to collect, log, and analyze the OBD data.Ģ - An ALDL cable to interface your PC computer to the ALDL OBDI diagnostic port on your car.ģ - A software program running on your PC to capture the OBD data.
