subceng Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 on my 91 STE the centre console compass and display works fine for about 45 minutes then it chirps and i get a "system failure" warning, it also shows a "missed op" warning and it does not work again until the next ignition key shut down, when it starts up again. it does the same, thing works fine for a bit, shows all the right info then it messes up. So my question, are these displays repairable, or is it just a nuisance to put up with? who repairs them if they are repairable thanks again.

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 did you try resetting it, and calabrating the compass? You have to do this by driving around in a circle a few times. I don't remember exactly but I had to do it with the DIC on my 88 GP before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Just get a new(er) DIC. It sounds like something failed internally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subceng Posted April 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 thanks for the replies, but i have a few other problems that come up also. some times the display reads system fail, some times it shows doors open that are not, fuel tanks that are low when i have a full fuel tank and if i try to calibrate it, it says missed op. and will not accept the North button when pressed during calibration. does anyone have an idea of who can repair the DIC which i assume is the module behind the glove box? and not the display in the centre console? this is for a 1991 3.4 DOHC GP STE.

jeremy Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 you would be better off finding a J/Y DIC then trying to have someone repair a 15yr old outdated electronic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 The DIC is self-contained completely. Remove the top of you console, and you have 4 7mm bolts to pull it out. Don't bother taking it somewhere. Buy one off somone here. I regularly get them and sell them for around $20 shipped. Davis (Invasion1) probably has one.. or two.. or nine.. or twenty laying around.

Baddflash Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 The module he's talking about is most likely the DIC lamp monitor which would not cause the DIC to fail. It sounds like the DIC itself is the problem, like said just get another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
