If you have a "smart phone" Get a "diagnostic program" and a plug to put in the "Diagnostic port" which is located under dash to drivers right of the steering column. Plug in port plug, pair on bluetooth and read the "fault codes." Depending on the program's capabilities, that will let you...

You would think that a keyway would be used.:dunno: Another step in the manufacture process, Another$0.05 key, TOO EXPENSIVE savs the bean counter. Put in a taper, and it was good enough for Henry Fords's clutch! :bash:

The technician needs to have a Tech II analyzer or compatible unit. I bought a set of manuals for the car ~$350.00 and a Chinese copy of the Tech II to allow me to follow what is necessary to sort out any problems. How ever I found a Corvette race mechanic that does the necessary maintenance...

Yes, the one on right. It can be programed by putting it in a receptacle located in the glove box and following instructions in owners manual. :wave: BTW; I bought a spare on Ebay, several years ago, try it you might "get lucky" save the search.

Did you put a new battery in the car? After my car "lost its memory" when the battery went south, all I had to do was drive the car over 25mph to make the sensors give input to the computer. When the computer wakes up it does not "see" any brake sensor ---input so fault. Driving puts info in...

I had same problem. Bad car battery. Do not be freaked when after you put in a new battery, it tells you that there is an ABS fault. Drive it over 25 mph and it will reset. The computer loses its memory when the battery goes South.:wave:

Did you activate the switch on the center console next to the top switch? That would give you a warning light.:confused:

I have changed the batteries and found that taking the spare key out of the fob then insert back in, in fob 1/2 way, and twist GENTLY. that will pop open the fob. Look, before you do this, look at the seam you are about to pop so you can assist it to release. I used a knife to assist lift the...

Found Answer!!!! Talked to my mechanic. He said that the warning was because the brake sensors had no input. [DAH] said drive it over 25 MPH and it would clear. IT DID!!! All fixed. :thumbsup Now all I have to do is figure out why the Left and Right rear-view mirrors want to point down when I...

After having my battery DIE, put in new one and receive a notification that the ABS system is not working and speed will be limited to 80 MPH "service soon" anybody know how to reset the computer? I am pretty sure it happened:dunno::dunno: during the battery failure. It NEVER happened before...

I am trying to find out what is the volume of hydraulic fluid in the top system. Lucas Oil has recommended an addition of %5 to %10 0f their #10019 Hydraulic oil booster stop leak. They tell me that it is compatible with the oil in the system. Has anyone tried this?:dunno:

For what it is worth..........I talked to Lucas Oil and their #10019 Hydraulic oil Booster Stop Leak Is compatible with the Hydraulic oil in the system. It is supposed to "rejuvenate" the seals in the system and prevent seal failure. I have not tried it yet but I ordered it. :) Has anybody...

How do I remove the side panels in the trunk to access the bottom of the trunk support struts?:dunno:

Thanks for the reply. I do not drive the car very often and so the hydraulic system, I think, is suffering from lack of cycling. I am not sure of the system particulars but I am trying to get further insight. It seems that it just does not want to hold pressure. I am wondering if I could...

My top and trunk will not keep position. When I open the trunk, it slowly closes. The top, if I stop mid cycle, will not hold position. I have found that if I reset the hydraulic system, I can limp back to function successful completion. Anyone have a solution? BTW: System reset is done by...

With less than 10k miles? They [GM] should have used some Locktite on the bolt! A key way would not be out of the question for the oil pump. Bad engineering GM.

Sorry to say but Bruce Elam did not torque the bolt on the end of the crankshaft of my 2008 XLR-V, upon disassembly it was finger tight, which caused insufficient oiling of my engine. [see pictures] The engine had <10,000 miles [note original chalk marks on the pistons] then the rods started to...

Bruce Elam built my engine. Forgot to torque the crankshaft/harmonic balancer bolt. Blew my engine. Sorry to say but Bruce Elam did not torque the bolt on the end of the crankshaft of my 2008 XLR-V, upon disassembly it was finger tight, which caused insufficient oiling to my engine. [see...
