OBD II Doesn't Work

Hello -


First post on GM-Trucks; hope I'm in the right forum.


I'm in Charlotte, NC, and have a 2002 Chevy Silverado 3500 tilt bed (cab & chassis frame), VIN 1GBJC34U22F129260 and a 6.0L gas engine. I have two electrical problems - OBD II doesn't work & a fuel gauge issue (front and rear tanks). Need OBD II to diagnose the fuel issue.


An instructor at CPCC (Central Piedmont Community College) told me that the pinouts on the OBD II connector are as follows:

4 & 5 are gnd, 16 is power, 6&14 are high speed bus (CAN bus - Control Access Network?), 2 and/or 3 are low speed bus. Does this sound right?


The pins present are in positions 2, 4, 5 14 & 16. I measured ground on 4&5 but found no +12vdc on 16. Didn't scope the other pins yet.


I have a GM Service DVD but cannot find any schematics on the OBD connections. Can anybody tell me where the +12 sources from on Pin 16 (if that is the right pin)? Or how to trace it back? Or how to find that in the Dingbat SPO program?


Any and all help will be muchly appreciated!

+2. You may also end up having a GM power scan plugged it, which is much faster and can operate anything in the truck if the ecu is alive.

Yo Chris -


Bingo! Checked the volts on the cigar lighter - nada. Popped the fuse out - blown. New fuse, all works - except for the Dang fuel gauge issue.


For anyone that wants to know, I plowed back into my Service DVD, and finally discovered that they don't refer to this as the OBD connector - they call it the 'Data Link Connector'! Nice. I suppose there's some sensibility to that. I then reviewed all the wiring diagrams and found that connection under

'FIGURE 12. AIR, RTD, RADIO, RDO AMP, ECM B, FRT HVAC, and CIGAR Fuses©' over on the RH side of the diagram. They were nice enough to show that spur leg power went to Pin 16 of the connector, so that confirmed that.


Interestingly enough I found another wiring diagram that showed the same cigar lighter circuit but that one made no mention of the connection to the 'Data Link connector' Go figure.


Note: Used my scanner and found no DTC's other than a misfire on cylinder 2 - which had been diagnosed manually by a GM tech friend Scott and fixed the previous weekend - bad coil.


I am going to close this post and open up a new one for the fuel gauge issue.

See '2002 Silverado 3500 Fuel Gauge Screwing Up'


Thank for the help!

Fred check your grounds. I've ran into this before

...just a note, but if you read the post right before yours, Fred posted that he did fix the problem (which was the common fix for this issue, the fuse for the circuit had blown).

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because it’s in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      Gas Prices

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
