Corvette C-5 Specifications





C5 Secrets and Computer CODE List



-The little yellow "helper light" on the bottom of the rear-view
mirror that illuminates the shifter area

-That you can put your key in the driver's door and turn it twice
towards the front to unlock the passenger door and a third time to
pop the trunk.

-That you can pop the trunk and also pop the gas cap cover by
pulling on metal lines hidden in the back.

-The little slotted cover on the dash behind the steering wheel is
where the inside air temperature sensor is located.

-All of the option codes are in the glove box.

-Tire inflation recommended pressures are on the driver's door

-The thing that looks like a little LED near the DIC buttons is a
light sensor

-The thing that looks like a little LED near the defroster vent is a
UV sensor for determining A/C usage to compensate for the heating
effect of the sun

-The build sheet is in the front re-bar
-If you leave your turn signal on, in about 1 minute it will start
to ding (loud enough to hear over the stereo) to let you know you
have old timers disease.

-You can reset the oil life by pumping the gas pedal 3 times (but
not with the engine running)

-Hold down the reset button while on one of the trip odometers and
it changes that reading to the miles you've traveled since last
starting the engine.

-Hold down the Active Handling button for 5 sec. to engage
"Competitive Driving" on cars equipped with active handling (2000
and previous years must be stopped.)

-If you pull the seatbelts all the way out while you're buckled in,
they ratchet back in to hold you tighter into the seat.

-Simply remove fuse #2 under the hood and your DRLs will be out
permanently. Only thing affected is that when you unlock at night
using the key fob your front turn signal lights and back up lights
will not will not flash. Your front turn signals will operate
normally, however.

-The side-view mirrors can twist both forward and backward,
decreasing the chance of damage if struck.

-There is a release opening with a flap to let air out of the car
when the hatch is closed. It is located just above the driver side
rear compartment, behind the carpet and on the side of the car. Not
that it really works well.

-Also you can ground your amp to a screw/bolt that holds the rear
middle compartment to the frame.

-If you have a 6-speed car you can pop the trunk when the car is
running by lifting the e-brake.

-There is a spot on the driver side just out of the middle
compartment under the carpet for the lug nut key. You should have a
compartment on the drivers & passenger’s side (in the trunk) and a
center compartment.
On the left (drivers) side of the center compartment, on the left
side where the center cover fits, there is an 'indent' that holds
the wheel lock key.

-If you turn on the headlights, then go to parking light position,
the lamps remain up but the headlights are not left on.

-If you have the passive entry feature: If you lock your keys in the
car, wait a few minutes and then shake the car. That will unlock the
car.

-HUD has a shift light for manuals.

-You can easily shift the M6 trans up or down without the clutch if
you match revs. (Not great for longevity, however.)

-You can eject the cd from the in-dash player without turning on any
power. Don't even need key in the ignition.

-The cruise will disengage if you purposely make sharp side to side
turns while cruising at say 60-80 mph.

-When the engine is shut off, you can get the odometer reading by
turning on the parking lights.
-You can program setting #3 (both memory buttons at once) in the
seat memory to run the seat back and steering wheel forward for
getting in/out of the car with the engine running.

- If you hate DRLs you can pull the e-brake ONE click and they go
off....
-Turning key on, transmission in a forward gear, accelerator to the
floor, will make you smile uncontrollably
-HUD has a shift light for A4's too... it comes on during a WOT run
just before it shifts!
-Here's one for the Auto crowd:
-If you manually select 2nd gear from a stop, the transmission will
actually start in that gear. It will hold it until you shift higher.
Good for stop-n-go traffic and slippery winter roads.

C5 Computer Diagnostic Codes
The ability to view engine operating data such as oil pressure and
coolant temperature, in digital form on the instrument panel has
been a feature of Corvettes since 1984. Starting in 1992, the
instrument panel could display limited diagnostic data relating to
the car's on-board computer systems.
The C5's capacity to display diagnostic codes is significantly
expanded. The new Corvette has 11 "Computer Modules" that transmit
diagnostics:
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
Traction Control System (TCS), which combines traction control, ABS
and, on cars built after 1997, the optional Active Handling System
Real Time Damping (RTD)
Body Control Module (BCM)
Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)
Radio
Heating-ventilation-air conditioning (HVAC)
Left Door Control Module (LDCM)
Right Door Control Module (RDCM)
Seat Control Module (SCM)
Remote Function Actuation (RFA).
The Instrument Panel Cluster display, the 20-character fluorescent
screen above the steering column that says "Corvette by Chevrolet"
every time you start the car, is an important device. Its primary
function is to display warning and status messages from the various
modules. For cars built before 12/15/97, there are 48 of these
warning/status messages. A few additional messages come from cars
built after that date and equipped with the Active Handling option.
A list of the warning/status messages can be found in your Owner's
Manual or in the Service Manual for your model year.
The display can show powertrain operating information and tire
pressures by simply pressing different buttons on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) to the right of the instrument panel. In
addition, using the "options" button, you can configure the C5's
keyless entry and security systems. Use of the display and buttons
for these purposes is discussed in your Owner's Manual
