    could be corrosion on the connector behind the the DIC OR a bad connection all together i would pull it out and check that first ... I also noticed your Boost gauge isn't comming on in the picture ... could also be a bad DIC.

    Could be a brick of a PCM.

    Either that or its still in programming mode.

    Check the connections to the PCM and if that doesnt help its time for a new one.

    it's hard to search common three letter words that people use in their posts because the mods set the serach minimum to 4 characters. so there are "excessive" extra posts about CAI, DIC, HUD, L67, M90, etc... so how would he search for it if he's new and the answer isn't staring him in the face?

    This sometimes occurs if the DIC is bad or the data line from the PCM to the DIC is bad.

    Mine was dead when I bought it. The guy said the battery went dead on him, so he replaced it and the DIC has never worked again. I checked all of the fuses I could find and they are all OK... So do these things go out all the time or what? Is there a fuse on the unit itself maybe?
