Leo,

Welcome to the forum.

You have the AutoTap cable with USB...?
Which version of EFILive do you have (V4, V5, V6, V7)...?

I presume you are using the LL0.xml data stream definition file.
I just checked that file and it looks like there is no DTC codes defined in it - yet. If you're interested in adding them in, I can send you the necessary information. Let me know.

Its not difficult just tedious. Its only case of typing in the details and matching the correct numbers to the trouble codes. Send me your email address (to paul@efilive.com) and I'll send you the data and instructions on what you need to do.

Hi Paul, This is a very old post but I have this same problem. I have a 1994 Saturn and am getting ready to use EFILive V4 with an ALDL USB to OBD1 cable, shown here: http://aldlcable.com/bigphotos/8947.jpg . I want to be able to read the DT codes but the macro is not setup for them, same as with the original poster's concern. How can I get the information that you offered to send to the OP? Thanks in advance!
