Usually, when you buy a part from GM, GM wants the old one back. For some reason I cannot recall now, this one did not go back. The Power Steering Control Module in my S-10E went out years ago, I paid for a replacement, and the replacement failed within the warranty period. Th...

They are not incorrectly labeled. Your truck is native NiMH, the sensor map you're referencing is PbA. The battery # assignment map is entirely different between PbA and NiMH. As your pack is NiMH, the sensor location assignment is 18,19,15,1,4,5 On Jul 11, 2009, at 9:02 PM, M...

Mostly just 26 voltages, 6 temperatures, airflow, and airflow temp. Basically, anything you can read from the Tech2. To be precise, the pack isn't sending the data; the truck is polling it. I fairly extensively reverse engineered most of the Tech2 protocol from Jan-Apr of this...
