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 !!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SviRjIsy9G4
This was very helpful, however this code won't clear. Does anyone know what it means?
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....
Designer Imagines A Corvette That Looks More Like a Corvette Than the Corvette
Slideshow: A Jaguar designer's personal project imagines what a modern front-engined Corvette might look like if Chevrolet revisited the golden age of the Stingray.
