There a key combination that can get the DIC to show any codes the car has thrown without autotap, etc. That combination is as follows:
* Turn the ignition key to the ON position, but do not start the car.
* Clear any pre-set messages by pressing the RESET button.
* Hold the OPTIONS button down, and press the FUEL button 4 times. This will get you into the CODES section of the DIC. The computer will automatically display all the codes your car has created. It will cycle through each code every 3 seconds. Any code that ends in H is a code that was registered previously but is no longer an issue.
* Once the computer has finished going through all of it's codes, press RESET to enter Manual Configuration mode. It should start with a module and show "NO CODES" or "# CODES".
* To optionally reset the codes once in manual mode, press and hold RESET until it displays "NO CODES".
* Press OPTIONS button to go to the next module.
* For a list of codes, check here:

Thanks for reposting an answer to a commonly asked question. As a noob myself (Bought my vette @ christmas) I hadn't seen this one go by yet- I cut and paste your answer into a word document to keep around!

It is a very weird code not in any list that I know of. I did a search and someone posted this exact same code back in Aug 2003 and got no responses to what the code actual means. Bring the code into a dealer and see what they say.

The other thing you might try is posting this question in the C5 Tech pages, and see if one of those guru's can tell you what it is.....
