Re: GM OBD! Keys

Sounds about right... a glorified paper clip, to short the appropriate pins of the connector. A $20 solution to a $.02 problem. Cool nonetheless, I never knew GM had dedicated tools for that, but it's logical that they would.

Re: GM OBD! Keys

Since none of our cars have ABS, ... you'll never use that one.
