TunerPro Rt used as a scan tool?

I assume this is what we are talking about in this thread.

To use TurnerPro RT as a scantool you need the correct ADX file. The ADX file corresponds to your car's ECM data stream file.

It is best to with your ECM's BCC code. Your reported BDJS.

Here is what I get out of BCC lookup.xls

BDJS 1993 33994 16186544 16149396 6578 6551 WB LH0 3.1 M13 AUTO



GM or some kind internet citizen provided a look up table to assist us in finding the correct data stream type.

What data stream your car's uses is buried in INDEX.DOC. It's is found in the zipped file you download in step 3.5. ( not optional I guess now. )

Of course, the information provided lets us develop our Sherlock Homes powers of deductions.

I suggest searching on LH0

The search yields 19 cars with the LH0 engine. Fortunately, only three were built in 1993.

The first '93 LH0 was found on line 829 of the INDEX.DOC file.

INDEX.DOC:829: 3.1L PFI (LH0) (VIN=T) 93 1J,L,2J,1,2,3W cars


INDEX.DOC:1117: 3.1L PFI (LH0) (VIN=T) 93 1W,2W,3W,4W -CAR


INDEX.DOC:1297: 3.1L SFI (LH0/GENIIS/VIN=T) 93 1W,2W,3W,4W 4T60E AND NB2 ONLY

from INDEX.DOC I notice that there are three possible data streams.


DATA STREAM A140
ENGINE USAGE:
3.1L PFI (LH0) (VIN=T) 91 W,A,J,L - CAR
3.1L PFI (LH0) (VIN=T) 91 4W (4 door) (vin serial > 799,999)
3.1L PFI (LH0) (VIN=T) 92 1,2,3,4W, 1,2J, 1,7L - cars
3.1L PFI (LH0) (VIN=T) 93 1J,L,2J,1,2,3W cars
3.1L PFI (LH0) (VIN=T) 94 1,2J

DATA STREAM A186
ENGINE USAGE:
3.4L PFI (LQ1) (VIN=X) 92 W-CAR
3.4L PFI (LQ1) (VIN=X) 93 W-CAR
3.1L PFI (LH0) (VIN=T) 93 1W,2W,3W,4W -CAR
3.1L PFI (LH0) (VIN=T) 94 1W



DATA STREAM A214
ECM USAGE:
CAR LINE:
3.1L SFI (LH0/GENIIS/VIN=T) 93 1W,2W,3W,4W 4T60E AND NB2 ONLY

That give you the data stream possibilities of A140,A186, or A214 data streams.

We can eliminate one or two by finding out what type EFI your engine uses.


That is the best that I can do. I think that there will be a prom id in the data stream, so you can tell if you have guessed correctly. The prom id is from bcc lookup.xls.

1 PROMIDA FIRST PROM I.D. WORD (MSB)
2 PROMIDA+1 SECOND PROM I.D. WORD (LSB)

Now go over to this web page and download the data stream definition file for TurnPro RT.

This page had the older ads format, but TurnerPro RT will automatically convert to adx.
