That sounds more like the TS-CAN isn't setup, properly, check the IRQ's are 
right.

CAN is pretty simple really, you get the right baud rate, the right protocol 
and go from there.  For live data streams everyone uses their own 
protocols., then it gets more complicated decoding the data.

If you know what the protocol is, you're in a lot better shape. Some cars 
just dump out information at different ms intervals, some only send if you 
ask, others have control messages going back and forth between the 
subsystems. Each node will have a set of message ID's attached to it ( 
typically ) for ecu's its usually in the 0x7e0 area.

However even as a GM-Tech its unlikely you'd get that information, its 
usually not that easy to come across, its good for you as GM is a large 
company so it's a lot more likely the information has been leaked, but to 
get all the various information on all the different cars, would be a 
stretch.

Other than than you can use ISO15765 , which is basically OBD II diagnostics 
over CAN. The spec is available from the SAE, but it again won't tell you 
OEM specific PID's.  So you'll be basically remaking an OBD II scan tool.

If you have access to a dealer scanner and can use it with impunity, then it's 
easier to sniff the can bus and determine some of the features.
