PRESS:

PRESS:
HI

PRESS:
HI

After all the codes are displayed, DIC should display "PCM". Press high blower button and you will be in the ECM/PCM module options. Press low for no and high for yes for what comes up. on 82-95 Cadillac powered models scanner is not required, diagnostics intended for use with "on-board diagnostics". 80-81 DFI or 8-6-4 are unique to themselves, still have "on board" but access and data are different. Cimmaron and 86-96 RWD Fleetwood or Brougham require scanners. EFI - no onboard, no scanner, nor codes "Symptom Charts"...FSM,DVOM, and a prayer or two.
