Wierd. Is my Vette gonna have "issues"?
Discussion
Something wierd happened the other day.
With my first C5, I found that if I'd have stuck with the run-flats, I'd be dead by now, so I ditched them very early on in favour of Michellin Pilot Sport tyres. Also had to bin the pressure sensors too...
Now, what this means is that when I start my vette, I get "SERV TIRE PRESS MON SYS" or something similar on the DIC. A quick press of "RESET", and it's all gone.
Now, the other morning, I fired up the vette, and there was no warning. "Odd", I thought, but figured it was kinda cool and just got on my way.
Strange thing is that the message hasn't returned. This probably wouldn't bother me, but I've started to wire my Stereo to the body control module under the drivers side foot-well. I saw this on www.corvetteforum.com, and was told it was OK. The only thing I've done at the moment is to splice a wire into the ignition wire on that system, so there is currently no power being taken from it.
Anyone have any idea if this is a dark sign of bad things to come, or does the ECU of the vette "work out" what systems are available to it and adapt accordingly?
Thanks in advance for any help!
