Psych0matt Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 So, I started up my car and stuff and checked out this other DIS I put in, and the one in now says "X miles til oil change" or something close to that, where as the old one said "X% oil life left". Is there certain year differences or something? Just thought I'd find out, it caught me off guard. kthxbai! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I've wondered myself. Please take pics and share of both your units. Can you read the GM part number on the back? I should do a write-up on the DIC units... since I own like 50 different types from the various W-bodys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted February 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 ha, well, one's getting sold, and the other is in the car :-X it has no sticker or # on it, looks like there used to be. (Ken, rockfangd is trying to get a hold of you, he needs the DIS pigtails if you have them ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych0matt Posted February 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 thanks man. was gonna call you but i have to leave for class in a few, and you talk too much i do need to call you soon though, havent talked to you in a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfangd Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 SO if you dont mind me asking why would you change units, and what year is your cutty. I know it is under 94 because they are not wired for it after 93. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Matt's is a '94 IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 mines a 94. I wired all mine myself, but also had a chip burned for the 3.4/94. For some reason on mine the destination counter didnt work, and mostly i just wanted to see if it was a DIS unit problem, or a '94 problem, and i think it's just the DIS.

Olds88Cutlass Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 When the oil percent gets less than ten percent it changes to miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 When the oil percent gets less than ten percent it changes to miles. x2 mine did this as well. just don't actually follow what it says because I don't know if it ever reaches zero definetly was way beyond what it should've been.

Psych0matt Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 hmmm, i guess I never let it get that low! it said 555 miles though on this other one, wouldnt that be like 16%ish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfangd Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 i never wait that long because i normally change my oil every few months anyhow.and also i know there has to be a way to get the other features to work. Has anyone ever done this on a 94. Psych0matt how did you wire up yours into your 94 can you possibly post a few pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Theres a pinout on the site somewhere, the power wires were easy, and then the data wires were slightly harder, but not by much. I don't know off the top of my head anything except for that you have to splice in to the ALDL for tach signal, but thats it, i think everything else comes off the main cluster.

rockfangd Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 i know that the orange wire in te aldl is the chatter wire also known as the tach. Iuse this wire for my ub3 for the tach. SO you are saying that the features should all work with some effort. Also does having the ub3 cluster help to make the dis work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Rockstar Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 One thing to note Rockfangd: You cant get a reprogrammed chip for your DIS to work 100% as matt's does.. THe chip is for the DOHC PCMs only.. It has to do with the way the system works for a 3100 vs the DOHC.. YOu can contact Shawn (GnatGoSplat).. He can give you a lot more info..

Psych0matt Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 yeah, i bought one from shawn. No, the UB3 has nothing to do with the DIS. and like i was saying before, I think theres something about the range/destination counter that doesnt work, but unless you get it chipped it wouldnt work anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfangd Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 well after i get the dis i will do whatever i have to do to make this work if someone knows how. And also if someone has the dis pinouts i still need them please pm me. THanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Rockstar Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Work as in power on: Yes, I have sene it done WOrk as in function 100%: No, at least based on research I have done, along with input from others who have tried.. The computer systems just speak to each other in 2 different languages.. Liking telling a French citizen all about astrophysics in your native English.. THey just wont understand each other.. Except maybe "Le oui" or the occasional Effenheimer.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
