I would check the CEM in addition to the DIM. It's possible you have two separate issues. Especially with that plethora of error codes as you mentioned in your other thread. Check this flowchart for troubleshooting : https://xemodex.ca/ca/pdf/DIM%20CEM%20L ... eMODeX.pdf

Much of my time during the job is spent hauling things up and down the stairs to the basement or in and out of the storage shed, or running back downstairs when I realize I need something else,or taking a break from standing out in the sun,or using flashlights or work lamps when it gets dark.

I melted/soldered the pins on the ICS, and a couple of other things described in this video, and the gauges and lights work now. However, all the error lights and messages are still present.

there is a switch in the brake booster servo that i think causes the brake failure warning.

edit: brake pedal position switch. I suggest getting a scan tool or Vida it makes life so much easier

You need a DICE interface box which runs from about $100 for a clone to $$$$ for the official one
