There is a com wire connector under the dash near the I/P fuse box above and behind the park brake release called SP205. All the data wires for all the modules are tied together in that block with a jumper cap. It is, IIRC, a 2x6 connector with a white cap. If you pop that cap off and jump wires B and D, you basically just made a bench harness and isolated the ECM to the OBD2 port. I do this to every LLY and LB7 I flash now because almost all of them have some sort of aftermarket electronics gizmo that causes hell with flashing.
