My problem was the fuse for the radiator fan was blown... from the radiator fan wire coming loose and shorting on the exhaust manifold, so $4 later I had a new fuse and the wire taped up and the service light is now off, slick way to find a problem but costly as well.
Snapon does not have the exclusive rights to GM enhanced -
in fact
the Snapon version is not as complete as the AutoEnginuity version
AE just released their latest Update , version 8.4
Downloads a free update to current owners , the AE version has SpeedTracer version 5.o again too ...

unlike the bi annual snapon updates at
$500 per and the snapon software does not have anything comparable to
SpeedTracer
