Hold the options button and press the fuel button 4 times. The DIC will display the codes that are causing your problem. Go to this website to find out what the codes mean.

The problem is that most never bother to read the sticky threads either.

Too, here is a link that has more current info with DTCs specific to each model year. Once you have selected the model year, click on READ MORE toward the bottom of the next page that appears to review all the DTCs:

I currently seeing these trouble codes on the DCS on my 02 vert.

10-pcm P0440 H C

TCS C1214 H C
c1276 h
c1281 h
c1287 h
c1288 h

LDCM b2282 h
b2284 h
u1064 h

RDCM b2283 h
b2285 h
b2287 h
b2265 h

The ones that are current P0440 and C1214 are the ones I am most concerned about. The check engine light and traction control and abs lights are all on please advise.
