HI All!
I'm at my wit's end here.... I just swapped out the ECM, as I was told that would fix my problem (yah, by the dealer no less)... it didn't fix it... I put back in my old ECM as I was getting a 0315 and I dind't want to go through the trouble of the crankshaft re-learn....
Here's what I got:
Driver's seat moves in the opposite direction when moved.
-- Yes, I realize this has been covered before with flashing the ECM to the latest code. Both ECMs had the latest code (old and new), didn't fix problem.
DIC cannot change languages via stearing wheel control.
-- I used the trip odometer deal (hold for 4 seconds, choose correct language) to help temporarily
-- NEW ECM did not change language... the DIC must be controlled by a different computer / module? WTF is this beast?
-- I put in a new lower right hand stearing wheel button to try and fix... this did not help, I tested both old and new buttons and they test fine
I cannot change anything that makes use of the upper portion of the lower-right steering wheel button.... the button that looks like a piece of paper bending over
-- so this means I cannot set the security controls for the alarm... no exit beep, no alarm set beep, nothing like that
-- this also means I cannot set the languages on the DIC via the steering wheel button
-- only the top portion of this button doesn't work, the bottom portion works fine (with the little bent arrow on it, used for resetting trips and milage)...
I've replaced the instrument cluster due to a guage not working.... hoping that would fix this problem... nope
I've swapped ECM's... that didn't work
I've replaced the steering wheel button... (what a Female Dog to get the new one in too!) that didn't work
I've had a friend that owns a shop hook up his Snap-on computer to it... he cannot get any of the functions that the lower-right button would perform, even using his $5000 Snap on computer....
I don't want to have to live with these issues.... I could live with the backwards moving driver's seat... but I'd really like to set my key fob to beep when I arm the alarm.... Is that too much to ask of this Avvy? LOL
I love my truck, and I don't want to get rid of it... I bought it new back in 2003, and it runs great... just this weird problem...
is there another computer that controls the "inside the cab" functions?
it's a 2003 1500 Avalanche Z71, 4x4, 5.3l....
any thoughts? Help me Cafca you're my only hope
thanks all!
