There is no "request" line you can ground at the ALDL to tell the 
computer that you want it to blink the codes on the check engine lamp.  
You must use a scan tool.  It's strange because it's "adolescent" - not 
quite the capability of the OBD-II stuff, but not as simple as the older 
stuff.

It's not you.  It's the engineers and bean counters at GM.  They get 
kickbacks from the Hair Club for Men, so they developed a strategy to 
make us scratch our heads more often.
