I have a scan tool program that runs on a laptop. It's called AutoEnginuity. It's generic but with optional add-on modules for specific manufacturers. It does everything that the dealers high dollar scan tools do on my F250 Diesel, but for way less money. IIRC, I paid $360 for it. There are other options out there that may be even less money (as in free.) But I don't know much about GM specific scan tools.
