I have a deposit on a super clean 2002 Bravada with 130000 miles.
I went and test drove it yesterday. First I hooked up my Equus 3130. The truck runs very warm, a good 1/8" past the 210 mark on the gauge. The live data reads 220-225F. My 2002 Envoy would never get that warm. It appears to have the updated GM clutch fan.
No codes (present) stored.
However, there were about 5 codes that were "historical" stored. A few were saying something about the BUS losing data connection, one was the brake light circuit, etc. One code was U1100 IIRC.
When I started the truck the first time, a message came on the DIC "UNKNOWN DRIVER". Even though the truck was running, the instrument panel was dead. The guy goes "Oh, you didnt turn the key far enough". Knowing better but wanting to not be a smartass, I turned the truck off, and restarted it, this time everything worked and no UNKNOWN DRIVER message.
Im thinking the historical codes about the BUS not communicating has something to do with this. Anybody have any input?
