2007 code retrieval?

Is the process the same on the 2007 as the other c6's?
I go the engine light today and tried the ignition on, old the options button and then hit the fuel button 4 times....

No worky.

Is this correct?

You must be thinking about the C5s, not the C6s. The process you described doesn't sound like anything I've ever heard anyone do with a C6. As far as I've heard, you can't retrieve a code with the C6s unless you've got a code reader.

You need a code reader. Make sure to get one that in CAN enabled and OB2.

The process you are describing is from the C5. The codes are locked out on the C6. You must get a CAN Bus enabled code reader to access them yourself.

thanks for the info... I was being told by a C5 owner that it was the same... I guess I need kick him in the knee cap.

I am waiting to hear from the dealer on what it is.

What GM should have done, those of us with Nav systems, included a page display of the codes and references to possible casues. Should have been relatively easy to do via software.

Certainly would have been an improvment to their POS Nav system. I might have even considered it.

Oh that would have been sweet to be able to use the Nav screen to view and read code related info.

BTW this is the code reader I bought and use. Best $65 you can spend. Third one from top - http://www.diydiagnostics.com/

Not at the 2 Wally Worlds near me. And I can't find it on their web site. Any idea what model it was? Best price I've found so far is about $100 for a limited reader and $120 for complete info.
