i don't know if this here is the right forum for that stuff, so tell me if not...

i'm a EFI guy and had to do some work on a 92 STS, so i wrote a ads-defintion file for TunerPro (http://tunerpro.markmansur.com/) to read the DTC's and sensor values thru the OBD-I of the car and my laptop.

I just wanted to let you know about that, cause i think some of you would like a affordable OBD-I solution for your laptop.

All you need is:
- A ALDL 8192 cable; i recommend the ALDU1 from Moates (http://www.moates.net/index.php?cPath=31)
- The TunerPro Software (http://tunerpro.markmansur.com/) - it's freeware and can be downloaded from it's website
- my 16132240_91-93_L26_8192.ads (http://www.moates.net/files/4%29%20Datastream%20Definitions/16132240_91-93_L26_8192.ads) definition file for TunerPro

This file works for all E and K Bodies from 91 - 93 with the 4.9L engine. The file is working, but not yet the completely checked final version.

Since i saw that even the other OBD-I Cadillac's aren't too different from this stream, i will make some files for some other cars.

This is pretty interesting. Is it possible to make software updatable and/or have different definition files for other years?

or have different definition files for other years?
yes, some others i will wirte the next days (but is's a bit hard to write a defintion file without having a car to test it, but i simply will write them, post it as a Beta-Version, and you will test it)

Is it possible to make software updatable
what exactly you mean? the TunerPro? the ads files? or maybe the flash-memory in the PCM?

to read/write the flash is possible - but since there is the risk to kill the PCM, i didn't tried it yet - if i can get a old/damaged PCM on ebay, i will play a bit around with that stuff

here are the up to date files:

1991-93 Cadillac STS with 4.9L L26 (not Northstar) (ALDL 8192):
http://www.lnoperformance.de/files/ads/16132240_91-93_L26_8192.ads (Beta 0.3)

1994-95 Cadillac STS with 4.9L L26 (not Northstar) (ALDL 8192):
http://www.lnoperformance.de/files/ads/16196347_94-95_L26_8192.ads (Beta 0.1)


at the Northstar's i'm working, but for them i'm waiting for some additional features in the TunerPro edition mask, but i hope i will get them soon in a new TunerPro version

what else cars/years could be needed by anyone of you?

This is a pretty old post but the forum wont let me email or private message this guy so I am going to send a post.

Hey LittleNo,
