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).

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      No doubt... But, as someone who doesn't pay for his services, but who has provided a few views/clicks on his Youtube platform, the data around the Mobil oil testing I think does have some value including to "freeloaders" like me.   A lot of what he's doing is likely showing the OE's work in their oil selection, something that many of us had kind of assumed was true all along, a good balance of both excellent protection and efficiency.

      Lake Speed is drumming up business for his company just by being in the spot-light so he has a vested interest in stoking the 0W-20 fire.  IMO

      I knew when I bought my truck that it had off road hill decent or craw control or whatever they call it and rolled my eyes at that but it gets throw on with other options my truck has, I just never had a heads up if the highway speed regular cruise setting had anything to do with the brakes and that took me by surprise. If you've ever been to the top of Pikes Peak and watched those ahead of you on the way down with their brake lights on constantly, one can guess they are probably not gearing down or not enough anyway if their vehicle will allow and a good reason their is a brake check spot part way down where they use an infra red heat gun to check how hot ones brakes are front and rear.    Your right that once one gets out of the front range by Denver and I've not been on that stretch of 285 between Denver and Fairplay myself but I know its high and Fairplay at 10000 feet, Buena Vista at 8000, it drops a bit from there but then your going back up and over the 11000 pass and Durango is at 6500 . So yes your definitely right that 6500 and a lot higher is the theme of going anywhere out in that direction from Denver but hey, the down hill sections give fantastic fuel mileage !.    I don't even look at the fuel pumps for what premium costs here, since I live on a farm and up to this point get fuel delivered I am rarely in front of a fuel pump and when I am, I am often using card lock bulk fuel stations so it tells me what the price is AFTER I buy the fuel. Looking up on gas buddy and converting to US gallons but in Canadian dollars, regular on average of the prices listed was around 5.95 and premium is around 7.00 . That was one reason I did not go for the 6.2 half ton aside from its lack of carrying/towing if one was going by the rule of using premium fuel and until recently one could only buy regular farm gas if playing the few cents off game for farm dyed fuel for a "farm licensed pickup". But yes I hear you on the fuel price difference and like the diesel theme with it often being more expensive then gas it doesn't have quite the charm to it either as it once did although right now here for some reason the price of diesel has come down more so its now inline with the price of regular gas.

      I agree with this assessment. As you know I’m testing longevity with vehicles for the first time. I have a few vehicles I passed to kids and grandkids. We’re all past 100K miles some approaching 170K. I’m the only one doing 5k oil changes. The rest whatever the minder says. I’m the only one doing frequent transmission service. My odyssey the trip vehicle at 200K will be finished as a trip vehicle. I recently changed to high mileage oil, Valvoline. I can’t get past the fact that all manufacturers want to claim long service life. I just don’t make sense that they would go with low weight oil for mileage. While sacrificing longevity.

      There's absolutely a mountain of profit in catering to the "I do my own research" crowd, people who are certain they know better. And I don't mean there isn't data to support that 0w40 produces less wear product than 0w20 in an engine like the 3.0 Duramax, that only feeds them the assurance they need. Again, my whole thing with oil selection is, sure, 0w40 or 0w30 produces less wear product. Are we talking the difference between the engine lasting only 100k versus 200k? Or are we talking more like, if the engine will already go 350k on a good 0w20 regimen recommended by the OE, is using 0w40 going to get us to 355k, assuming we can even get the rest of the truck to last that long, meanwhile sacrificing the first 5y, 100k in powertrain warranty. The answer isn't easy, there are tradeoffs.   I willfully use 0w20 Dexos D for this reason, knowing that a 0w40 will produce slightly less wear. I don't believe the delta in wear product is meaningful over the lifetime of the engine, and I place much more importance on driving style and overall feeding and care of the engine as a whole. It's the mentality that someone can abstain from alcohol their whole life which is an amazing boost to health by itself, theoretically. But if they're sedentary, that lifestyle choice will most likely kill them young despite their other, concerted efforts. Maybe someone doesn't drink AND they are the perfect picture of health and activity AND they use 0w40 AND they treat their engine perfectly. If living until 130 years is the goal, sure, do that. But it's going to be a really old truck falling apart around a good engine for that last 30 years, without a doubt.   I watched Demonworks' other video on the 100k+ 3.0 Duramax that had dealer 0w20 changes on what appears to be OLM-prescribed intervals (8-10k).   The QR codes are still present and readable on the main bearings. That's how little wear it has.   That's not proof that anyone else should stick to 0w20, but it's confirmation, for me, that 0w20 is perfectly acceptable to use in these engines.
