Re: Engine Scanner
If all you want to do is see stored codes then jumpering A and B on the ALDL connector will make the Chk engine light flash the codes.
For a Vette but same for F-Body

On a '89 disconnecting the battery clears the stored codes.
Cable to connect to ECM

and use free software like TunerPro on a laptop.

Lets you monitor the engine sensors in real time as it is running

Best scan tool for the money is a paperclip and this: https://www.thirdgen.org/service-eng...ht-error-codes
To clear codes, disconnect the battery for a few minutes.
