Whichever OBD2 adaptor (not the software/app, the hardware you plug in to the OBD port) you use, it must support VPW J1850 protocol. Some do not as I have found out and they won't work on your Blazer.
This one (https://bafxpro.com/products/obdreader) does and is good value.

Without starting a new topic maybe someone can help me. This is the first I've seen these BAFX OBDII devices.
I'm wondering if this device and the appropriate software can help diagnose TCCM issues. My first post can actually explain issues more, but I was hoping this method would allow me to send activation commands to the transfer case and help diagnose possible wiring issues. 1998 Bravada AWD

AFAIK, none of the apps using bluetooth OBD2 adapters like the BAFX will do anything more with 4WD than read and clear codes. You are asking for bidirectional control of an alternate module (TCCM) on the vehicle data bus. Some say Autoenginuity and Snap-on give a lot of these bidirectional controls, but I have no experience with them. I'm quite sure you can replace both the TCCM and the encoder motor with new for what they cost. The rest of the system just takes a digital volt/ohm meter to check out.
Thank you. Now that I know it can't be done I'll move on and try to find a solution.
