Hello can the DIC be used to read a service engine soon light? My 2005 Pontiac GXP developed a skip/missfire this morning and hasnt went away. Weather conditions were heavy rain and dampness. I have a spare bank of coils I may put in and plugs have been replaced about 5K ago. Car has 77,000 on it. I know on the caddy's codes can be pulled using the cars computer. Dont know if the DIC has that capability.

Not on the Bonneville GXP, unfortunately. Any number of OBD2 code readers (including the Bluetooth adapters that connect via smartphone app) will do the trick.

I use
this adaptor with the
Torque app in my GXP...it can read and clear codes, as well as monitor most PIDS.

No, no "Engineering Mode" that can be accessed as mentioned. Another option is if you have an active OnStar setup, they should be able to run a diagnostic and tell you what codes are being generated. But I'll tell you now, if you're having a misfire, the code is gonna be P0300 and then the associated cylinders, like P0303 if it was cylinder #3.
