Hi Gary,

I get the following message:

---------------------------
Scan9495.exe - .NET Framework Initialization Error
---------------------------
To run this application, you first must install one of the following versions of the .NET Framework:

v4.0.30319

Contact your application publisher for instructions about obtaining the appropriate version of the .NET Framework.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------


I'm running windows 7 and using Mozilla Firefox. Can you direct me to the correct version of the framework?

Thanks,

Any version 4.0 or higher should be ok.

The software works great. I just wish I knew how to interpret all of the data.

I have a 20+ page guide to interpreting the data, specifically for the LT1 engine. Was written about 20 years ago, when the LT1 ScanMaster was popular. I'll try and add a “sticky” to this forum, with a .pdf attachment of the guide. Used to have it on my website, but the source of the free server disappeared a few years ago, and website is gone.

In any case, if you have a specific problem you are trying to solve, or just want to see if everything is “normal”, you can post a link to the file and I will take a look at it.

Maybe it’s time to update my guide to match the output of Scan9495.

Re: Scan9495: Free OBD1 scan app for 93/94/95 LT1

Thanks, Injuneer. The PDF might be a great idea.

I "think" I have a couple of issues, like a high idle. You and Gary both took a look at my logs and made some suggestions for things to check, do etc. My car isn't located in the state where I live, so I haven't had a chance to do anything to follow up. I should be able to check some stuff this summer when I'm back "home".

Update to what i posted a few days ago. I just wanted to see if it worked. It did. I ran a scan, had zero codes which is no surprise. I have never seen the check engine light come on. Not bad for a 95 z28. Was loaded onto a laptop with windows 10.

Gary

Thanks for all the information and software. I got the ALDL cable that was posted and used Win10 with no issues. I was able to see the codes that I needed to clear to move on with charging the AC. Thanks again

Re: Scan9495: Free OBD1 scan app for 93/94/95 LT1

Hey Gary,

Your software is great. Thanks for making it.

I wasn't able to find a guide on the ABS actuators and what they do, particularly if I want to activate the abs module to bleed it.

I see LF/RF Sol, Motor Apply, Motor Release, Rear and Home.

Can you provide some clarification?

Thanks

Re: Scan9495: Free OBD1 scan app for 93/94/95 LT1

I'm afraid I can't help much. I am a bit more of a computer geek than a car expert. The information for the actuators you mentioned came from a Tech II scanner. You might try downloading the service manual for the 94. It has a lot of info on the ABS system. I can tell you that I DID NOT include the brake bleeding routine in the app because it was rather complex and I did not feel comfortable generating it without full testing.

No worries, I'm glad you programmed it in anyway. So I found a few people mentioned it on facebook and decided to try it. If you click the "Home Motors" button in the Actuators, it will activate the abs block. When you home the motors, it makes a clicking noise that is audible from the abs unit.

I did that and bled the abs block out. I honestly don't know what exactly it means to home motors or if you need to do it more than once (which I did, just to be safe) but I was able to safely get the dirty brake fluid out of my abs module and it all worked out.
