Help Can't get scanner to link up
Pin 5 on the OBDII port needs to be on a common ground with the PCM. Once I changed that instead of just grounding to the body my connection problems were solved. Of course, you're problem might be different.

So how likely is it that my 2007/2008 L92 uses the CAN bus, rather than OBD-II?? (I'm guessing that it's fairly likely, huh?)
If all that tests good, check continuity on the High Speed GMLAN wires. The High Speed GMLAN wires are routed from the OBD2 port to the TCM and then out to the ECM.
Check continuity between the following points:
Pin 6 of the OBD2 Port and pin 7 (D-BU) of the TCM.
Pin 14 of the OBD2 Port and Pin 6 (L-BU) of the TCM.
Pin 37 (TN) of the TCM and Pin 2 (TN) of the Blue ECM Connector if its a 2006 w/E40 ECM or Pin 33 (TN) of the Gray ECM connector if its a 07-09 w/ E67 ECM.
Pin 38 (TN/WH) of the TCM and Pin 1 (TN/WH) of the Blue ECM Connector if its a 2006 w/E40 ECM or Pin 53 (TN/WH) of the Gray ECM connector if its a 07-09 w/ E67 ECM.
If all of the above continuity checks test good, you may have a faulty TCM that is not passing serial data communication through to the ECM. I have seen this happen before. To test that you need to bypass the TCM. To bypass the TCM, unplug the TCM connector, get a couple of paper clips or some small wires, and make a jumper between TCM connector Pin 6 (L-BU) and Pin 37 (TN) and then another jumper between TCM connector Pin 7 (D-BU) and 38 (TN/WH). This will connect the 2 High Speed GMLAN wires at the OBD2 port directly to the ECM, bypassing the TCM, which should then allow you to connect to the ECM. If you are able to successfully connect to the ECM after making the jumpers, then you need to replace your TCM.
