Default QC code

My 97 just displayed "QC Code 123111". Can't find anything on that. Anyone know what that is?

Here's a pic. Did not notice it before, but right before the code came on the words "Quick Configure" for a second before the code.

So far doing a bit of research it's only on 97's. (from looking at older post about it) I might just see if I can reset the codes and see if it comes up again.

Below is a couple lines I found in an old post. I may try it. Don't guess it can hurt.



I'm going to reset all the options, seat, mirrors, alarm, etc and see if that helps.
Thanks for the help, I reset all the options I mentioned in the earlier post as the code popped up as soon as I backed out of the garage and immediately went to configure options. So I went through each one and reset them. Went for a ride and the strange QC Code 413131 never came back.

This was a post by Paul Koener who is a C5 GM Tech on one of the other Corvette Forums....


“Hi there,
That is a configuration command used by engineering.
Do NOT continue, as this will mess up certain functions.
I personally messed up one car by trying to use this function and it was not pretty.“

Allthebest, c4c5

I did find that as well. But don't know how to get rid of it. Like I said above. I'll try that and see.

I have not seen any tech info on this message, but apparently some of the 97 C5's can reach this function if the options button is held down for more than a few seconds when trying to get into the DIC settings.

Found this on the corvette action center forum.
