Outside temp. on EATC, can you keep it on all the time?

[Jr's Sho]

After working on many GM cars, I found that some of them have the outside temperature showing all the time. Does anyone know if we can program the outside temp. to stay on longer than the few seconds it does normally?

Nope. It's in the EATC logic. The 96+ EATC's in F/L/M products do it, but none of those will work in the SHO...

 

[Jr's Sho]

It was worth a try asking. Thanks.

If you hold the button if it will stay on all the time. This tells me that if you wired the button in reverse then it would work in reverse. Like the Gen 3s do.

Yeah, you could probably just swap the signal wires.

 

[SHOZ123]

I wonder if that would mess up the EATC brain though?

How do you make it read in Celcius?

Max A/C + front defrost should do the trick.

I never knew it was so simple. Thanks. I am going to try it tomorrow.

I tried it and did not work. Is there another trick?

press both at the same time.

OTH, I thought that only works on the EATC of Gen 3s.

On a gen 2 there is a wire that you have to ground out for the display to show in C. There is a writeup about it on shotimes I think.

 

[philallemang]

there should be a black (color??? i think) wire that you have to ground by your right foot in the drivers seat. that is where mine is and my friends was on the passengers side, just have to do some good ole looking
