Thread: DIC blinking "0"

pretty sure i picked up a regular dic without boost level and performance shift, it came out of a junk yard gtp but seems it was replaced in that car too. had a trac button with trac off and low trac thats it, rest is displayed in display.


hooked it up replaced burned out bulbs. it does not read mileage or oil life or anything, just has a blinking zero.


any way to calibrate?

no 97 takes only a 97 dic.

98-03 take the same.

There was no tracation control in 97. The PCM won't be able to communicate with that DIC. You will need a 97 specific one.

dang, alright thanks

so i went to the junk yard again, 97 gtp has the TCS button, 2 other 97 GT's had TCS button. any clue as to why, if the 97 year did not come with traction control?

My 97 does not have a TCS button.

X's 2

Because it wasn't an option back then as the GTP model was just an add on to a GT...as a supercharged package. The GTP wasn't a specific model until '98.

I found a pic of my old 97. It had a TCS button?



EDIT: Nevermind, yall are talking about the digital dic.

My DIC in my coupe now is also blinkin 0 but its intermintent I can see the dic boost guage working but the performance shift doesnt light up either. My guess for my own car is i have a few electrical issuses to sort out and as for the 97's yeah what others said GTP was and option. I belive mid year they went to the 98 style setup. When I go back to Oslo and get a chance to look at the car I got the engine from Ill double check the tag on the door to see what the month and year it is and compare it with the tag on the door of my GTP coupe. Im sure both are 97 but Im willing to bet they are like 8 months apart or something.

i never get the boost gauge or performance shift light. i have tried 2 model numbers.629E and 629F last 4 digits

my 97 GTP has performance shift, boost gauge, and no traction control, (had) the 97 s/c replaced it with newer gen 3, mine is an earlier model its February 1997
