jiggity76 Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Can you add the DIC option pretty easily to the Cutty's? Does it matter what motor you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgett Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Think it is pulling data from the ALDL stream so as long as the same sequence it may work with a 3.1 or 3.4 but would be different programming for a 3.8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiggity76 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Not sure what the ALDL stream is but thanks for the info. I have a 91 3.4 DOHC car and wondered if it would work. Is it plug and play or a lot of wiring splicing? Would I just have to switch over the mounting bracket where my cubby storage is right now next to my HUD switch? Found a 89 car, not sure if it's got the 2.8 or 3.1. Going to look at it on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 It will pop right in in place of the cubby, and might be prewired. If so should take five minutes, otherwise splicing is only a few wires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 If your car has ECC, it MAY be pre-wired for the DIC. It may be even without ECC. It also should work okay for the datastream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiggity76 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Great guys! One of the reasons why I'm considering buying the car. What is ECC and is it easy to determine if I have that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padgett Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 ALDL - Assembly Line Data Link - a serial data bus that runs around the car. - Like OBD-II but earlier (1981-1995) DataStream - The format of the serial data sent on the ALDL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's weird that's in my gen 3, well I have an odd idea I want to do so need to know what wires go to the lights and switch for a different/custom dic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 You don't have a Gen 3. Your car is a second gen. If you open up the DIC the board is pretty simple. There's not much going on in there. The TRAC OFF and LOW TRAC lights are just pins on the connector I'm pretty sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych0matt Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 So a 2002 is a gen 2? Gen 1 is 88-96 Gen 2 is 97-03 Gen 3 is 04-08 rich_e777, digitaloutsider and Nas Escobar 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Yeah I am looking to remove the dic completely other than tcs All you should need is a momentary contact switch. I'm 99% sure it's not some special data bus thing, someone should have a pinout of the connector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daermos Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Gen 1 is 88-96 Gen 2 is 97-03 Gen 3 is 04-08 Thanks for clarification on the gens Psych0matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly I think there is 3 wires that are marked as part of the tcs system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
