How do I get rpm/temp/volts to display on digital dash?

I have a 1993 Seville with a Digital display, so my method may/may not apply, but all I have to do is press the button on the left hand side labeled "Information" and it will change the display on the bottom screen. Press it however many times it takes to get to the status information you want. By pressing it I can view Battery Volt's, Fuel Used, RPM's, Coolant Temperature and several other things.

That's what I'm wanting it to read, however it just scrolls thru the fuel info, timmer and engine oil % right now when I hit the info button. I think some programming is involved.

1) Press the OFF and PASS WARMER (referred to from here as WARMER) buttons simultaneously to enter diagnostic mode.

2) Let the system read any codes it has stored. You will ultimately be presented with "PCM?". You will answer with the fan speed control button. UP = yes and DOWN = no.

3) Press DOWN until you are presented with "IPC?". On mine, it's the very next prompt. When you get to the "IPC?" prompt, press UP to enter the IPC area (Instrument Panel Cluster).

4) Press DOWN until you are presented with "IPC OVERRIDE?". Press UP to enter the override area.

5) Scroll down (with the DOWN button) until you get to Option E. Wait a second or two, and the override value will appear to the right where the TRIP ODOMETER normally reads. Yours will probably read "43". That's what mine read when I first did this.

Below are the Option E values:

- Coolant Temp message (64)

- Battery Volts message (32)

- Engine RPM message (16)

- Avg Mph message (8 )

- Mph message (4)

- Fuel Used message (2)

- Inst Mpg message (1)

The stock displays (for analog E/K displays) are Battery Volts, Avg Mph, Fuel Used, and Inst Mpg, for a total value of "43".

6) Use the WARMER button to increment the value of the override. In this case, we want to add Coolant Temp, so we're going to add "64" to "43", or "107". Press the WARMER button repeatedly to increment the value from "43" to "107".

If you make a mistake, you can decrement the value by pressing the COOLER button.

7) To permanently save the new value, hold the FRONT DEFROST and the A/C buttons simultaneously until the new override value flashes once.

Then hit the "off" button until you exit diagnostics

CaddyPete, I follow you right up until step 5, where it says go to option E. I'm not showing an option "E", just several IS codes when I scroll through. IS45 displayed "97" on the digital temp gauge area, so I thought that might be the value to change, but the console went blank after I started to advanced it past 100 so I changed it back to 97, don't want to mess something us. Any other ideas? I remember the PO saying he replaced the digital dash module several years ago which is probably why I don't have much info available.
