Dang, you're making us work for it! I got tired of looking in the huge thread about a car for sale. Why don't you just tell us what the problem is.

I can't take the time to read the whole thread, but the service traction control, service ABS may involve the EBCM. I just had that part replaced on my wifes '03 AE Vert after the same warning came up. About $1600 to replace at a dealer Fortunately, it was covered under our extended warranty.

To have codes, you need to hook the car up to that code detector thingy like the one you would use if the engine light came on, correct?

If so, I'll ask the owner for them.

Holy bhandee cholee. Look at that. Now I get what you guys are talking about on certain threads. I gotta go back and read that a few times.

At the bottom of the page, there are links to car years 1997-2000. Have the codes changed for later year C5s?

I wanna try it on my car but Im afraid ill screw something up. When they scroll, is it fast? What if it scrolls really fast and I dont have time to write it down?

"Teach a Man to Fish" Bet you won't forget if you actually have to RESEARCH it a little bit. I think the internet has made people more lazy. Even with a search function and search engines, they want someone to feed it to them. Maybe you want somone to come over and fix it for you too?

Just post the codes so someone CAN help you

Ok I read the thing, and think I get it for the most part. It will probably make more sense once I go try it.

Didnt get this though:

To exit the diagnostic mode at any time, press "E/M". If you want to erase or "clear" codes, press "reset." Clearing a code does not repair a problem. You are simply erasing the evidence of it in the module's memory.

* 10 PCM Powertrain Control Module page 6-357 - 6-361 Domestic
* A=DTC set immediately and MIL is turned on
* B=MIL turned on after 2 consecutive drive trips
* C=After one failure and stored in History MIL not turned on

Specifically this part:

* 10 PCM Powertrain Control Module page 6-357 - 6-361 Domestic
* A=DTC set immediately and MIL is turned on
* B=MIL turned on after 2 consecutive drive trips
* C=After one failure and stored in History MIL not turned on

Default here's how you do it...

with the key in the on position, but the engine not running
push and release the reset button until all messages cleared
next push and HOLD button #4
next push and release button #1 four times while holding button #4
When first engaged the on-board diagnostics go into an "automatic" mode which shows all parameters: PCM-TCS-RTD-BCM-IPC-radio-HVAC-LDCM-RDCM-SCM-RFA. If there are no problems, you will see "no more codes" on the ICP display. The computer will show two kinds of codes, "current" and "history," designated "C" or "H". A current code indicates a malfunction is present in the system whose module is displaying data. A history code indicates a past problem. When the screen displays "manual diagnostics," select the desired module by pressing the "options" button to go forward or the "trip" button to go back. Press "gages" to go forward or "fuel" to go back. To exit the diagnostic mode at any time, press "E/M".
If you want to erase or "clear" codes, press .""reset

OK dougbfresh you've made your point on the search thing more than once.
If you don't want to help then move on to the next thread.
I don't understand some of you. Do you really enjoy taking shots at members on this forum?
If you were running this forum does that mean you would not allow questions to be asked? If that's the case then what's the purpose of having this forum?
Somtimes I search and sometimes I ask a question. I don't know why that should bother you.

Doubt that will happen anytime soon. People too lazy to find the answer even when someone gives to them is what gets me. A 5 year forum member ought to know how to do this. And R&R I don't see you adding anything useful here.
