diagnostic codes, assessing

[ahatley]

I got a few words from the NorthStar site that indicated one could access the codes from the climate control center. I could not do it, but does anyone else have ideas or comments. Or do I need to buy one of those scan tools?

How do I get the service reminder? thanks, Andy

I have heard that it possible, but I don't know how. I bought a scan-tool from AutoXRay.com which is very helpful, but does not access all 108 plus DTCs on the car. As I understand it, the computer on the Aurora is very sophisticated and not all scan tools can pick up the info. Again, mine is helpful, but not all inclusive. Additionally, you must possess technical knowledge to interpret the data and the ability to understand how all parts work together thereby eliminating confusing information.

thanks, All things are not easy. I hate to take it in and have a light disappear without knowing for sure why and how it was repaired. Andy

On the Caddy N* you can access the codes by pressing off & warmer buttons on the climate panel at the same time. As far as I know the Aurora N* never had this handy on board feature....dang!
