GM Historic (OBD I) Diagnostics

Field Service Mode can be operated with the ignition Key On-Engine Off (KOEO) or with the Key On-Engine Running (KOER).

Vehicles equipped with climate control computers do not use Field Ser- vice Mode.

Some 1994 & 1995 vehicles equipped with a 12-pin ALDL connector with pins A and B shorted will not cause the CHECK ENGINE light to flash codes.
