Look for a used OTC 4000E with GM software for 2001 or newer. It will give you date stream which you will need to help with your no start. The 4000E is a pro scan tool but an older model I bought my first one new 1993 and still have it at the time it was around $1,500 The latest one I bought in 2013 is a OTC Genisys and was about the same price. The full featured scan tools are a real life saver and a big improvement over a simple code reader. I have spend the last 40 years as a fleet technician.
