I understand that any scan tool can access the other computers in the vehicle.
There are specific known addresses for connecting to the ABS, Powertrain,
Transmission, and other computers (where equipped). I even have a list of these
known computer addresses in my SAE-HS3000 manual as well as the expected
conversations w/each for accessing diagnostic info. Something I don't have are a
map of the manufacturer specific addresses and query's for things like flashing,
extended diags, and re-programming. I see that at least two others on this list
are in search of those particular things. Any progress? I have a list of the CPU
types inside the PCM (there are 3) - as well as schematics for a diagnostic
interface (for building a scan tool) if anyone is interested. One of my
newsgroups - OpenDiag on Egroups - is making progress towards creating a
completely open (read free) scan tool for more than just OBD-II.

Latr,

Shane

ps - You'll have to ask me later for any data from the HS-3000 manual as I'm
currently in SanFrancisco (my feet are killing me 8) and didn't bring that text
w/me.
