Service ASR light
Had the Service ASR light come on when driving my 93. I parked the car, turned it off, then tried to restart it. It would start for a second, then die. Anybody had this happen to them and what's the solution? I have this bad feeling it's going to be expensive.
Oh yes, one more thing. The message, "SYS", flashes on the speedo display.
Thanks

Re: Service ASR light (Ozman)
The "SYS" usually indicates an electrical related problem. In most cases its a weak battery.
For the Service ASR, I get it as well, but mine does it for a specific reason that I caused. I cut the tach filter off to get my tach to work after doing the LTCC conversion.
As long as that light is on, your ASR won't work.

Re: Service ASR light (Mr Mojo)
If the battery is the only problem, I'll be ecstatic. But the fact that it starts for a moment, then dies? I've never had that happen with a car that needed a battery. It usually just didn't start.
I did a search on past posts and others who have had this problem have either had to replace the ECM or some other electrical glitch.
Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it!

The only time I have had the ASR lihgt come on is after a brake change and was low on fliud, but I also had the antilock light on, once the fluid was replaced no more lights. :cheers:

A buddy of mine who is a GM Tech says it's very rare to have to replace the ECM, most that do are unneccessary.
