HELP! 1661 trouble code & emissions failure

Trying to register the wifes 96 Z and it failed the plug in OBD II test with a 1661 trouble code. The code comes up as a MIL Control circut failure. Best I can tell the tester wasn't able to connect to the PCM (I think).

I thought I was pretty good with OBD II cars, but I have no idea what this is.

HELP

Here is what the GM chart says: http://service.gm.com/gmspo/mode6/pd...c57P_F__yE.pdf

It's not listed by GM for a '96, but is for a '97. It's also listed in my book for a '96, with the same description.

Thanks. I figured it out.

I can't beleive they would fail it because the SES light was burned out. Replaced the bulb, car passed emissions.

Who knew.....
