Default DIC codes

Sorry if this has been posted and or was in the FAQ section. I just couldn't find it when I looked there and did a search, so i figured I should just ask. I know there has been much worse horses beaten to death.

Anyway......

How do you access the DIC? I can not figure out how to get into the code section. Is there one like the C5 had? I have had a checdk engine light on for about a week, which oddly enough went away today???? and the airbag light which i found in the FaQ section so i will take look under my seat tomorrow. Anyway how do I bring up my DIC. Nothing was thrown when the light came on ever sooooo.....

Thanks

Does not work like C5. Must have code reader to access the codes.

I agree! When I had my C5 I would sit in and play with my DIC all the time. I wanted to see if anything new ever popped up. At one time I had like 28 codes! I think I held the record for a while! If it weren't for Bill Curlee I would have never got them fixed. Took about 6 months to get it all sorted out. When i had it down to like 5 I unloaded it!

Now I have a car that I won't be able to play with my DIC at all in....... That sux!

a code reader is available at Wal mart and many other places for about 70 bucks. I did not have a C5, but I can imagine this is a pain compared to it.

Good Luck
