Default Phoenix people Help with Diag Code.....

Car came up with this code on the hand held scanner, but no light on the dash. Local shop states only the dealer can reset this code.

Does anyone know any other shop in the Phoenix area that can reset this besides the dealer?

I have enclosed a picture.

The beauty of our C 5's is we don't need a scanner, we have one built in so check for codes with the C 5 one and go from there !!!

This was very helpful, however this code won't clear. Does anyone know what it means?

it's a MAF sensor code, check for a vacuum leak, check the wiring going to the MAF, try cleaning it.

If the car is tuned with speed density for boost (2 bar/3 bar) the 0103 code is normal and you want it to be there.

Thank you it is tuned for speed density so the problem must be something else....

The resistor chip in your key may be dirty and the VATS system can not read the resistor. The BCM Theft Deterrent System should not let you start the engine.

What symptoms do you have when the code is present?

Your DIC says H & C


P1626 Chevrolet Description


The Body Control Module (BCM) produces the theft deterrent fuel enable signal when the ignition is ON and the proper key resistor pellet is sensed. The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the fuel enable signal during crank. If the proper signal is present on the theft deterrent fuel enable circuit, the PCM enables fuel delivery to allow the engine to start. If the PCM detects that the fuel enables signal is not present or incorrect while the engine is running, DTC P1626 will be set. DTC P1626 can cause a no-start condition or normal operation depending on when the loss of the fuel enable signal was detected. The engine will continue to start and run if the condition that set DTC P1626 occurred after the BCM sensed the proper key resistor pellet and signaled the PCM to continue fuel delivery. The engine will start and immediately stall if the condition that set DTC P1626 occurred before the BCM sensed the proper key resistor pellet. With this condition present, the PCM will inhibit fuel delivery and the BCM will disable the starter.

That us great to know. I will clean my key and hope for the best. Symptoms are, it drives normally athe low RPM, however in upper RPM's in boost. It feels like it is misfiring....
