No, this is something that you should be able to do with any 2000 or older car, I believe. So if the original poster has a pre-01 car, they should be able to do this, as would anyone else with a car from 97-00.

The OBC is an entirely separate matter, and that would read out on the dash gauges. This is a way for you to see the vitals of the car via the air conditioner's screen.

Have a look here, it's what San Rensho was referring to.

just tried it again myself, worked fine with me copying and pasting the link from my post.
make sure you leave out those "[url]" brackets.

otherwise just go to the main page at www.cb-racing.com and navigate to the page about "Hidden AC unit info".

This symptom couldn't be the early signs of impending water pump failure could it?

I run my '04 like it's stolen, in 105 degree temps with the air on and never get past
180. I have even curled up the plastic license plate frame above the exhaust pipe!
