Dirty Rockstar Posted April 18, 2005 Report Posted April 18, 2005 Can this possibly be used on board one of these OBD 2 Ws? Its from an Aurora.. (Jut browsing.. Dreaming.. lol) I am just curious.. I think this is WAY cooler than the 96 Grand Prix model 8) Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted April 18, 2005 Author Report Posted April 18, 2005 I appreciate the reasoning behind that.. A big old "no" with no explaination as to why? So.. Why not? Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted April 18, 2005 Report Posted April 18, 2005 Well, an OBD1 cutlass DIS's electronics will not read the different electroni pulses of an obd2 aurua... they just arent compatablie... like hooking up an 88-93 DIC into a 94+ gp... it wont work. Quote

Can this possibly be used on board one of these OBD 2 Ws? As I understood it he wanted to use it in an OBDII vehicle. Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted April 18, 2005 Author Report Posted April 18, 2005 I know OBD 2 stuff wont work in 1 and 1.5s.. I want to know if this Aurora thing will work in the 96+ Ws.. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted April 18, 2005 Report Posted April 18, 2005 Im saying it wont, becuase the OBD2 uses different electronic pulses for fuel info, etc... Quote
GP1138 Posted April 18, 2005 Report Posted April 18, 2005 Im saying it wont, becuase the OBD2 uses different electronic pulses for fuel info, etc... Ross, 96+ W's ARE OBDII! Quote

Thats from an aurora? i think thats a cutlass dis. No, it's not. I've seen the Aurora DIC's, there are a few in the J/y I go to, and it has a flip up door, just like that. It's an Aurora. Quote

I thought that it was a cutty dis usuing obd1 Right, but that wasn't made apparent until you asked if it was a Cutty DIS. He clearly stated it was from an Aurora. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted April 18, 2005 Report Posted April 18, 2005 His wording was a bit unobjective, it looked like a cutty dis, and to me, it sounded/looked like he wanted to put a cutty dis in an aurora Quote

Its from an Aurora.. (Jut browsing.. Dreaming.. lol) Plus the HVAC controls there obviously aren't from any Cutlass I've ever seen. Just busting your nuts, here. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted April 18, 2005 Report Posted April 18, 2005 I doubt it would work. The DIS from the Aurora doesn't use the Class 2 serial data bus. Back then, GM PCM's had 2 serial data busses, Class 2 for all OBD2 communication, and a DLC bus which was a regular old ALDL bus. Only difference is I think the DLC isn't a full read/write bus that can be used for diagnostics like the ALDL in OBD1 cars can, it's a read-only bus for information only. Anyway, the instrument cluster has a DLC input, and processes this raw data onto a special UART B bus and feeds it directly to the DIS. I'm not sure how proprietary the UART B bus is, but it DEFINITELY won't work on the Class 2 bus of an OBD2 car. It MIGHT work with an OBD2 PCM that has a DLC bus and possibly also an OBD1.5 PCM (94-95 3.4 DOHC), but that depends on how much processing of the data the Aurora instrument cluster does. Quote

Hmm... methinks another trip to the junkyard is in order.... Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted April 18, 2005 Report Posted April 18, 2005 COULD is the key word. It could also be that "UART B" is a super proprietary bus as it's only used for communication between the instrument cluster and DIS. Quote

Dirty Rockstar Posted April 18, 2005 Author Report Posted April 18, 2005 If there are a few John, tell me how much one will be.. Quote
GP1138 Posted April 18, 2005 Report Posted April 18, 2005 If there are a few John, tell me how much one will be.. Almost guarantee you $20 or even less, knowing the yard I go to! It's awesome. I paid $40 total for both my HUD and dashpad together! Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted April 18, 2005 Author Report Posted April 18, 2005 Sweet shit.. Find out for me.. Snip the cluster pigtail(s) and the connector for the DIS as well.. Quote
Psych0matt Posted April 18, 2005 Report Posted April 18, 2005 I want one too. I almost pulled one spring break, but didnt think it would be worth it Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted April 18, 2005 Report Posted April 18, 2005 Find me one too, I want to play. Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted April 18, 2005 Author Report Posted April 18, 2005 LOL.. What have I done?! Quote
GP1138 Posted April 18, 2005 Report Posted April 18, 2005 They have like 4 Aurora's in the yard right now, so PM me if you're really serious about this. Quote
