1987 Trans AM Digital Dash menus

I have an 1987 Tran Am that I am trying to figure out why it doesnt start. Ive posted a thread about that. My question is on my digital dash, what do the 4 windows above the temp/battery window show? I think the 2nd is the brake and 3rd is the seat belt. I am trying to get the codes from this car and I am having no luck as was wondering if it is shown in these windows. I tried the paper clip trick and didnt see any codes displayed anywhere.

Thanks

1st is a blank...I think, 2nd and 3rd are a mentioned, 4th is some kind of circle with an arrow. I have no idea what the 4th one means. I was able to shine a light through it to see the images.

Circle with an up arrow in it is generally a "SHIFT NOW" light for manual transmissions.

Window Of Opportunity

The first window is the Service Engine light.

The second window is the service BRAKE light.

The third window is the service SEATBELT light.

Someone will have to chime in about the forth window.

Anyway did you check for fuel and spark yet?


Happy Racing!
