WhiteOut Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Okay, so there I am sitting in my car the other day playing with the auto climate control and trying to figure out how to switch the temp display from celcius to farenheit, it turns out if you depress both the temp control and fan control buttons for a couple of seconds it brings up some sort of diagnostic mode on the climate control display. The initial display shows 23 parameters that you can cyle through with the temp control knob, and by moving the fan control knob you can access the values for the selected parameter. Pretty cool...a bit primative compared to the display in my Toronado, but cool none the less. So, after learning this I took the car for a drive and the only obvious parameter I could pick out was number 13, which appears to be the vehicle's speed. Is there a list somewhere of what the other parameter's represent? Can codes be pulled in this fassion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supreme_style21 Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 I have a sheet that gives all those codes.. but it says its for the '97 model GPs.. so I doubt it'll be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaners Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Hmm... Pretty neat!!! I wonder if it would do the same thing in my '93? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteOut Posted December 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 I think the auto climate control setup for a 93' is differant from whats in my 95' Cutlass, but from what I've seen its pretty similar to the unit in my old Toro, so you should be able to access a similar mode by holding the UP TEMPERATURE, and OFF buttons simultaneously for a couple seconds. But again, it doesn't do a whole lot of good unless someone can tell us what the codes mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaners Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 Unfortunatly the car was just bought and then put in storage until spring... so I guess I won't be able to check it until then. It does have the Auto Climate Control with steering wheel controls though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supreme_style21 Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 Alright this is what I have for a CJ2 unit out of the '97 '98 Grand Prix's w/dual climate. So I'm not sure if it'll apply.. you be the judge (A lot of these are incomplete, as I don't have this system to fiddle around with anymore) Position / Description -00 Error Codes -01 Servo Position -02 Servo Position -03 Servo Position -04 CJ2 Fan Speed -05 Servo Position -06 Servo Position -07 Servo Position -08 Servo Position -09 Servo Position -10 ? ? ? -11 CJ2 Vent Mode -12 Engine Coolant Temperature -60Degrees -13 Actual Vehicle Speed - MPH -14 Servo Position -15 ? ? ? -16 Radiator Low Fan Turn-on Temperature -17 Radiator Low Fan Turn-off Temperature -18 ? ? ? -19 Servo Position -20 (Affected by cabin temperature sensor) -21 Servo Position -22 Sunload Sensor Error Codes ( A 2 digit code indicates a current fault.

Brian P Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 89-94 is "warm" and "Bilev" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteOut Posted December 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 Thanks for the correction, I just assumed the system would be set up about the same as my last car. Pretty close, but not quite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Bump, and I'm moving this to FAQ. Very informative! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldscsc Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 89-94 is "warm" and "Bilev" I've been wondering if this would work on the pre-95 system forever! I'm looking forward to using the MPH one. Will this work in non-HUD cars? Just wondering because ATM there is no digital speed anything on the car...I'll test it tomorrow.

I don't think you'll be able to see mph but don't quote me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldscsc Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 when i hit warm and bilev it just turned on the heat mabey i need to put the key on acc. you're pressing and holding both buttons simultaneously? Yes. I tried it and it just started blasting heat on an 80 degree day. I tried a few times but was never sucessful in getting the system to enter diagnostic mode.

Brian P Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I don't remember if there was anything else specific to do. I posted that a LONG time ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldscsc Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 After just researching it a bit, I found out it is OUTSIDE temp and bi-lev, not warm and bi-lev. I'll try her out tomorrow and post the results here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
