ALDL USB Driver Pack for Windows Posted by - NA - on 29 January 2013 11:17 PM Once you install these drivers — OBD software should successfully detect your ALDL cable, and hence connect to your car also. Jan 29, 2013 - How to Install ALDL USB Cable on Windows and OBD Software. Most ALDL cables come with a CD (drivers) and installation instructions.

USB to ALDL CABLE Plug your laptop into the ALDL port of your 82 to 95 GM computer controlled car or truck and see what is happening under the hood. Use as a scan tool. Compatible with GM OBDI data streams that use the 8192 Baud, Pin M protocol AND 160 Baud Pin E protocol. The cable may be ordered with the 12 pin connector shown here, the 94 & 95 16 pin connector, or with universal bare pins. 12 Pin versions have built in the 10K ohm resistor required by some ECMs. The resistor can also be switched off if needed.

USB to ALDL Cable comes with 5' USB extension cable, and Driver/Software CD. This cable is compatible with programs such as WinALDL and TunerPro RT. Use it with your Android device - Works with ALDLdroid! ALDLdroid sold separately - Check compatibility with your android device before purchasing. Ship to Connector type. What is needed to monitor my engine?

There are 3 things needed to access the diagnostic data stream from a GM based On Board Diagnostic 1 ( OBD1 ) system on your 1982 - 1995 car or truck. 1 - A laptop PC with an available USB port 2 - This ALDL to USB cable 3 - A software program running with the correct stream definition for your car or truck FAQs Q - Will this cable work with my OBD1.5?

A - Yes it will. Xender apps download on mobile9. GM used 12 pin OBD1 type and 16 pin OBD2 type connectors on 94 & 95 vehicles. Make sure you order the cable that fits your cars connector.

Q.- Will this work with my 94-95 6.5 Turbo-Diesel? A - Yes it will however you will have to download and use GMTD Scan Basic (free) or GMTD Scan Tech ($) from Q - Does this cable include the 10K ohm A-B resistor needed on many 12 Pin 160 Baud ECMs? A - Yes it does. Q - Can I disable the 10K ohm A-B resistor? A - Yes the 10K resistor can be switched off on the 12 Pin version. Q - Why would I want to disable the resistor?

A - On a few select ECMs the 10K O resistor is not needed for the data flow but does alter the idle speed and timing. On MOST ECMs the 10K ohm resistor either does not affect the ECM operation, OR the 10K ohm resistor is needed for data flow. If you have questions on the 10K ohm resistor contact me. Q - Can I get a version of the 16 pin cable with the switchable 10K O resistor?

A - No, GM never required the 10K ohm resistor on the 16 Pin OBD1 vehicles and thus my 16 Pin cable has none.

OBD Diagnostics   Products: GM OBD1 Cables Low Cost ALDL OBD1 Cables - $59.95 12-Pin Version 16-Pin Version 3 Things Needed There are basically 3 things you need to record diagnostic data from a GM based On Board Diagnostic 1 ( OBD1 ) system on your 1982 - 1995 era car. 1 - A PC computer, preferably a laptop, to collect, log, and analyze the OBD data. 2 - An ALDL cable to interface your PC computer to the ALDL OBDI diagnostic port on your car. 3 - A software program running on your PC to capture the OBD data. Why This Setup? What is the reason for having the above setup for yourself? Mainly, you now have a powerful tool to analyze your cars OBD data yourself, better even than the specialized scanning tools only dealerships and big shops had in the distant past.

With your own setup, if your Service Engine Soon ( SES ) light comes on you can look at detailed OBD data for yourself to see what trouble codes have been set and the conditions they were set under, possibly saving you money in repair costs by knowing what is or isn't wrong with your car. For many, it is quite interesting to be able to see your car's sensor systems working in real time, and even having the potential to upgrade performance through PROM reprogramming of your cars ECM/PCM (not for the beginner). The ALDL Cable Let's look at the ALDL (Assembly Line Diagnostic Link) OBD1 interface cable first, since we sell low cost ALDL OBD1 interface cables. It may possibly be the only thing you will need to buy to do your own diagnostics. You can make your own cable, but it is much quicker and less headache to buy one already assembled and tested. Under your cars dash you will most likely see this style connector: There are, but the 12 pin OBD1 connector shown above is the most common. Some 1994-95 cars have the 16 pin OBD2 connector (shown below), Corvette's, Camaro's, and LT1 cars among them, as well as newer Australian Holden and Commodore.

Even though it is an OBD2 connector, it has an OBD1 system behind it on these 94-95 cars. If you have a 94 or 95 car with the 16 pin connector, You can also program the instrument cluster on the 2004, 2005 and 2006 Pontiac GTO with our 16 pin USB ALDL cable as shown with the Other newer cars and trucks may work the same. Make sure you buy the correct ALDL cable setup for your car or cars. You can buy an ALDL Cable with an OBD1 12 pin connector shell, or OBD2 style 16 pin connector shell, or a cable with just a bare male pin, to plug into your cars female connector serial data pin location (pin M or E or 9 on the diagrams above). The ALDL cable with the male OBD1 connector shell will allow you to just feel under the dash and plug the cable in. The cable with just the bare pin requires you to look under the dash and plug into the correct pin on the car side of the connector. If you have both 12 pin and 16 pin cars to diagnose and data log, you can buy just the bare pin USB cable, but is less convenient to use.
