Default Manual code check problem

I have tried several times to manually check the codes for my car because I got the "Service Active Handling" message in the display of my DIC. The problem I'm having however is that nothing happens when I press the sequence of buttons.

In other words, when I turn the ignition on (without starting the car)press and hold the "options" button and then press the "fuel" button four times nothing happens; I don't get the history of codes like I should.


If anybody here has experienced a similar problem or is able to explain why I'm having this difficulty please chime in.

Thanks,

-RR

You can do the sequence even with the car running. Sometimes I have to push the fuel button a 5th time. You also have to do it within a few seconds.

Sounds like you may be skipping #2.


1. Turn on the ignition but don't start the engine.
2. Press the "reset" button to turn off any warning messages
3. Press and hold "options" and
4. While holding "options", press "fuel" four times within a 10-Second period.


Here's the whole "how to" https://www.corvetteforum.com/techti...D=26&TopicID=1

Thanks guys.

dgrant3830's solution to try with the motor running worked. That's the first time I have ever had this problem; all times before worked as outlined above by Plasticfan.
