My 98 vette does not start this really bugging me
My vette is not working check would get the infamous "REDUCED ENGINE POWER", "TRACTION CONTROL FAILURE" and its dispalying low fuel when the tank is full and the temp guage is shown at the max and and a host of random failure codes.the all the fuses and its a brand new battery the car cranks and the theirs a spark from from spark plugs but i got obd 11 tester its saying that their no communication to the computer and what wrong and I also had a person with a tech 11 and come look at the car and said the their was no cummunication but he started playing with key ignition he said was cummincating with it but he didnt tell if any of the computers was working or not he said he didnt want to jump the computer because it damage it. And payed this guy 100 dollars and he didnt really tell me anything I am about to take a look at the Bcm unit. my battery once leaked years ago i guessin its that.

The PCM controlls the engine, The body control module controls your radio, lights, air conditioning, etc.
Your car is capable of telling you what's wrong with it. Here is how to pull your codes.

Post up your codes after you run thru instructions.
