You can also go to this one!!!

This is the absolute best C5 Code web site!!!

http://www.corvettedoctor.com/index.html

http://www.corvettedoctor.com/index-1.html

http://www.corvettedoctor.com/Code_Main.html

Select: Technical Data Base, then 1981-2004 Corvette ECM Computer Codes, Then your year C5, then read the directions. At the bottom of the directions page you will see “READ MORE”. The codes are on that next page.

The sound effects are cool too!!

Yep!! You need to press the options button to enter the manual mode. Once there, press fuel or trip to scroll up or down through the codes (if there were more than one) Everytime you press options or gauges to scroll up and down through the modules (pages), you will enter a new module BCM ICP LDCM RDCM SCM RFA HVAC RADIO ect...... If you want to clear the codes,, press and hold reset. If you press English/metric it will exit the Diagnostic mode

I cleared the code so now I have no way to tell what it was?
Should I get rid of all the H -codes so I will be able to find out witch one comes back if and when it does?
