    98 Pontiac Transport SES Light steady on, NO POWER AT THE ALDC !!??

    I have a 1998 Pontiac Transport the SES light came on revealed a code
    440 emissions problem. Replaced the gas cap, reset the ECM and the
    code went out. 100 miles later the SES light came back on steady all
    the time after the car cranks, even after the battery has been
    disconnected it still remains on. The engines runs normal as always.
    The kicker is that putting a ECM reader on the ALDC shows that there
    is no power at the connector. Nothing has been modified in the car
    other than replacing the stock radio with an aftermarket radio
    ("professionally" installed) Does the radio have an electronic
    connection to the ECM or the ALDC?

    Any clues appreciated...

    Check pin #16 of the DLC connector for battery voltage.
    If not 12 volts, check the cigar/DLC fuse (15 amp) to see if its
    blown.

    Check pins #4 and #5 of the DLC connector for continuity to
    ground.

    Pin #14 of the DLC is a serial data line to the radio but I doubt
    that it would interfere with a code reader powering up off of the
    DLC.

    Thanks, that was the fix. It was the cigar lighter fuse that is
    linked to the ALDC. It was blown thanks to the jerko that installed
    the radio. Never noticed that the fuse was blown cause I dont use the
    lighter at all.

    The code reader had a code of 440 so now it leads to a new problem...
