New '96 LT4 owner question
Hi,
Great Forum.
I recently bought a '96 LT4 coupe. Got a couple of questions. The "service engine soon" light has come on a couple of times. The first time it went off after a few drivings; this time it's staying on. How do you read the trouble codes without a scan tool?
Also, the Passive Keyless Entry (PKE) doesn't work. Tried reprogramming the fob....nothing. Sometimes the PKE light comes lights-up on the Drivers Information Center; sometime it's out.
Otherwise; fantastic car. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Did you buy it from a private party or a dealer? I'm not sure about Maryland, but in Colorado the dealership is responsible for any "service engine" light.

First thing; replace the battery in the fob?

Congrats on your purchase. 9 times out of 10, its an O2 Sensor. Take it to Autozone, they will scan it for free. If you have a lap top computer I would buy a scan software. Here are two. I have Digimoto for my 96.
www.digimoto.com It cost about $100.00. Then there is www.auterraweb.com. This software will do the same as digimoto but you use a palm so. Email at quick96vette@yahoo.com if you need more info
