OBD1 acting odd

[slowdime]

For some odd reason the car's been throwning codes, and running with the efans on all the time, which is odd because its mid 20's or lower here . It doesnt seem to run any different though.

Codes it threw were:

26- "Quad-driver module or Quad-driver No.1 error" whatever that means
46- "VATS failure or PS pressure switch failure"

The VATS has been screwing up lately but idk wtf it has to do with running the fans, and I have no idea what the Quad-driver module is:confused:.

I'm going to re scan it today to double check, because these codes just don't seem right to me.

Any time your car throws a code, the fans will engage... it is a precaution

Well that explains that... now to get it to stop throwing the damn codes

I have no clue what the quad driver is but for the other one (seeing as it has VATS or...) is your steering acting the same?

I think you can get a tune and have both of those deleted out. I KNOW you can tune out the QDM codes.

Thanks Fastbird. The QDM is no biggie as I'll be deleting most of the emissions here soon.

And the VATS I have no clue how to fix, its either in the key or the ignition switch itself. If I so much as look at the damn key the wrong way, it throws up the security light and wont start for 3 min's. That shit's already cost me a drivers' window lol.

TBH I dont even know where I could get a new key, in this BFE town im in here. Back home the Ace I worked at cut them and they were a PITA to program the chip, and 30-40 bucks. I'd hate to see what a dealershit would try to charge me:rolleyes:.

At the dealership I wanna say its 30-50$ i got a quote a couple years ago but never ended up getting one made

Why not try to bypass the VATS and see if the troubles remain. If they do, it's in the module. If they don't, it's the key/receiver talking to each other.
