I reprogrammed the calais headunit that i bought from ebay and installed it and also soldered the resistors onto the HCM.
All went well. except one thing i did notice.. my auto headlights switch makes the lights stay on even when its light outside... took roughly 15mins to turn off in the morning..
also one more question, will a gscan tool be able to turn my SIC into sports mode?? or will i have to get my hands on a tech2?
ive also herd that the oil pressure appears as nothing on the SIC is this true?
Thanks in advance!!
Good work, sounds like you may have an issue with the light sensor in the centre of the dash causing the auto headlamp issue. Do check that you put the resistors across the correct pins, just in case you accidently put one across the dash light sensor wires
Not sure whether a gscan tool has the ability to swap the SIC into sports mode, a tech 2 definitely can and I am working on a "hack" for this at the moment using a Pontiac SIC
There are two sorts of SIC module, one has the older twin Atari style guages and the later ones have 3 gauges (much nicer) The Oil Temperature setting does not get passed to the SIC by default but this can be changed, again by a tech 2 to give a fully functional gauge setup (again this is on my to do list for a hack)
Cheers
Ahh cool yeah i will check the resistors on the weekend hopefully.
yeah gscan didnt work went to my mate today after work and couldnt find any SIC settings, am going to my holden mate tomorrow morning.
do you know what the settings are under?? (just so i can give him minimal downtime from work haha)
also is there a way to check what SIC module i have prior to going down ?? if this helps its a 2009 sv6 s1
and sorry to be an absolute pain but whats the setting for oil. just incase my mate isnt the best at working the tech2.
Thanks again
