Erratic boost indication on DIC
« on: June 20, 2011, 04:25:55 PM »
Occasionally the DIC shows 0 boost even though I have plenty of power. Not limp mode. No codes. After a key cycle or two it is back to normal.  Any suggestions.

something must be wrong with the circuit going to the DIC. have you seen abnormal behaviour in the other DIC indications?

could you request by a dealer to have the instrument panel replaced under warranty?

I have read that sometimes this can happen if the boost read is more than the computer is set to read as max.  You might have had a spike in boost, the computer saw it and shut down the DIC for a minute, and then it comes back after a little while.  I have had this happen as well after a high spike in boost.

No other abnormal indications. This happens even when boost should show 5-10 psi. Not after really getting on it.
