This Is A 98. This Just Happened. Everything Else Works.

ICP-instrument panel cluster
DTC-malfunction codes that you can display on the DIC (driver info center) using the special sequence (on-board computers tell you what went wrong)

To display your DTC data go here ....

https://www.corvetteforum.com/techti...D=26&TopicID=1

When the AUTOMATIC display completes it will enter MANUAL mode. In that mode display and write down what codes you have.

A code looks like this ...... P 1234 C

The first letter will be either a P, B, C, or U ..... indicating which system the code is for.

The following 4 numbers are the code

The last letter will be a C or an H (sometimes both).

Post the ENTIRE code (as in the example ..... P1234C), and list ALL the codes found.

--------------------------------------

Your IPC is the Instrument Panel Cluster .... your gauges. There is a SECURITY warning lamp in the gauges. When you are cranking the engine is the SECURITY lamp on, or blinking ????
