Which cable are you using.
In the original Diacom kit they have a "special " cable for TPI setups.Ask me how I know.

'82 and up.
Being too fast and not reading instructions ,that was the cable I used for my '87.
No link.
Then when I read properly found I had to use the other supplied cable
"GM Special TPI" # 91006.
Linked up first try.
