SYS Troubleshooting - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Greetings one and all!

With the help of Ted, I swapped out my stock shifter for a new Hurst short throw. The throw works perfectly, all my connections are double checked. After putting it in and driving my SYS flashed. I finally had the brand new AC Delco battery checked and sure enough, it was bad. Swapped it out and away went the SYS error.....for about an hour.

I tried to put on an AUTOXRAY to see if I could read the code but it will not connect to my 95' (#278).

The only symptoms I've have in terms of performance is the SYS flashing, and the night time back light for the speedometer dims and then brightens up. It acts like a short but for the life of me cannot figure out what would have happened.

I am of the opinion that nothing I did with the shifter swap caused the problem and it just happened. Especially since the battery is now brand new instead of two months old. (I did have this new battery checked the very next day to make sure it isn't also bad).

Any trouble shooting thoughts or ideas? Again, thankfully nothing has changed in the driving or performance of the car including all 32 valves open on full power.

HELP!

:-)
