Chanes in DIC and temperature display by sunshinesmile

My 2001 Aurora temperature control panel has recently changes from farenheit to celsius. The DIC is showing liters instead of gallons, km instead of miles. I have looked thru the manual and can not find anything. I am not sure what I might of hit. Does anyone know how I can change these features back? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. This is driving me crazy!!!

I believe there is no shut off valve and that would make sense with the automatic design. Temp is controlled by blend doors, one each for driver and passenger side. Door may be stuck or malfunctioning. It has also been a common complaint that the driver side is warmer than the passenger when the unit is low on freon.

From the owner's manual;
 
The Driver Information Center (DIC) displays
information in either English or metric. When the
system is on or off, push the ON/OFF button down
for three seconds to change the display between English
and metric. This will also change the digital screen for
the climate control system between English and metric.

For what reason would you buy a universal sensor?
 
If you read through the forums, you will see that a lot of people have corrected problems that re-arose after a short time by replacing the aftermarket part with a GM OE, especially if computer related and that includes spark.
 
It is recommended that you change all of them at 100K. I made it to about 125K before the first one went and within a year two more failed. And the one after the converter is suspect for a problem although it does not show a code. If you are past 100K, do yourself a favor and change all 4 of them. You might want to put a small amount of anti-seize on the threads. There are two places talked about in the forum that discount parts. One, I think is GM Direct. I ordered from the other, cheaper and fast. GM Direct has a lot of caveats concerning order, read through that.

ELC - Ride Leveling System in 1999 Aurora by northernliving
Sep 20, 2009 (4:26 am)

Greetings. I'm trying to trouble shoot my ride leveling system in my 1999 Olds Aurora. I was told by my mechanic that the compressor and leveling switch was bad. I picked them up from eBay for $100, and replaced them. The compressor now works, but when connected with the leveling switch, it runs continuously. There are no leaks in the system as it will pump the read end up to the moon and it WILL stay there for weeks. I've tried a second leveling switch and the same problem prevails. Any ideas on the problem mode? I was thinking that there might be a solenoid, or a relay at the compressor that may be causing it to stay on all the time. Thoughts?

Chances of 2 switches being bad are minimal. It's possibly a wiring problem. You need to check the switch connector real good and follow the wiring harness looking for any breaks or places where it might be rubbing metal and possibly shorting out.
