cavalier 2000 digital dash to calibra, need help

[erkapic]

Hello everyone, I need some help wiring the vectra/cavalier 2000 lcd dash to calibra 16V (C20XE 1992., with check control), so far I have done a most of the work, but still have some issues with check control lights, oil pressure gauge, indicators lights....

[Fraz]

are you using the guide??

[erkapic]

Yes mate, using the guide from this site

[Fraz]

so what problems are you having ??

oil gauge can only owrk on one or the other not both.

check control is a bit of a nightmare ..what are you not getting to work





my German is not up to that guide

The problem is that all check lights are ON, only the lights check light is OFF.
The other thing is the oil pressure, so it is not possible to use both, the digital dash and analog oil pressure gauge above the ash tray??
And the indicators light, left and right.

You can not use both oil gauges ..and if you do not wir eup the dash one it will bring the F fault light on

as for the rest ..I followed this guide


Get the check control working.

Connect up the wires from the Calibra loom square connector to the dash blue connector using table 3.

Then remove the glove box. Locate the check control system black unit above the glove box. It has two connectors. One blue connector and one larger black connector. Disconnect the unit and remove. Add wires and terminals to pins 1 & 2 of the large black connector. (NEW WIRES NEEDED)

On the blue connector link the following pins together.
Blue Pin No
Colour Blue Pin No Colour Function
2 Yellow/Red 23 Yellow/Red Brake Pads
4 Brown/Yellow 19 Brown/Yellow Washer
7 Brown/Blue 17 Brown/Blue Coolant
8 Brown/Green 16 Brown/Green Oil

Connect the new wire from pin 1 to the blue connector pin 18 White/Green wire (Tail/Dip).
Connect the new wire from pin 2 to the blue connector pin 24 & 10 Black/Yellow & Black/Grey wires (Brake Lamps).

the Indicators will need two new wire run from Indicator Stalk as the original Indicators only use one wire (it’s a black green with white bands)

how are you getting the speedo to work??

Thanks Fraz, I''ll try this with check control system above the gloves box.

There is no ''F'' fault light on the dash so it looks like everything is wired properly. But if i disconect the oil pressure wire (the same one that is used for oil pressure gauge) the red ''F'' appears.

Have no problems getting RPM and speedometer to work, I installed the encoder (is it a right word) into gearbox (3 wire sensor) and removed the cable (rope) used with analog dash.

So there is no need to wire anything from above the glove box connectors to lcd dash??

Only to remove the check control box and connect some pins between 2 check control system connectors?

...the Indicators will need two new wire run from Indicator Stalk as the original Indicators only use one wire (it’s a black green with white bands)

That wire ( black green with white bands) is not wired after wiring the two wires for left and right indicator? Are the both green indicators ON when the emergency indicators are ON ?

no they work just fine ...to get two wires coming from the stalk for left and right indicators and join them to the one single wire that goes into the dash
