I was reading the owners manual and i noticed it had a paragraph about the "up-shift light". I can see the light for it, its on the opposite side of the fog indicator. I tried messing with the car settings in the info center to see if i could turn it on. How can you turn it on?

 

uh hit the rev limiter then itll turn on, but i dont think there are settings for it

 

it does not work its just was left over cause gm was to lazy to build a different tach thing lol

 

is yours auto or manual trans? you dont need it for auto trans. it works on mine and its a 5 speed.

 

well.. it does not work on your SS/TC cause the light itself will not work.. it's a upshift light on 2.2's and 2.4's to get the best gas mileage

 

wow gm!

 

oh yea we are talking about the ss/tc, i have the 2.2. the economy version.

 

huh? well from what I understand, the shift light is only equiped for models originally intended for sale in the us. perhaps yours was originally intended for sale in canada, where the shift lights are not activated (don't ask why, I don't know)

 

On this subject anyone know how to hook a shift light for the 09 SS?

AllI have is this info:

little old

 

Not in the 2.4s.

The 2.4s come on at redline.

You could get an interceptor.

 

For a 2009, if you have the RPD option, you can program the shift lights on the display.

 

no it does work on the 2.0...its funny cuz mine never worked either but the other day iwas revving the **** out of it and it flashed 1 time...but that was it.

 

Maybe you got a US model with the Canadian flash 'cause we don't have a shift light on our model .

 

He's talking about his supercharged, which will come on during extreme over rev

 

Only the 2.2L's have a working shift light. It's meant for best gas mileage, period. The higher models share the same gauge cluster just a different overlay thats why you can still see it but it won't light up unless you somehow over rev.

 

LOL gunna say Raptor Shift light ... Got it .. Stock CLuster shift light ??

 

I already have the raptor for my Z.
Since I will only race the Cobalt a few times, i figured I could hook it up for a few track days.

 

My shift light works just fine... but then again its part of the RPD LOL

 

HAHAHA very funny
