Need C Code Explanation

I have an '05 2500 Dsl. and was checking codes. I turned the key to on without starting while holding the trip reset. It did it's cluster check and gave me some C codes. However every time I did the procedure, I kept getting different codes....?


I am having a hard time getting info. about these codes. Can anyone help?


Codes that came up (and I only did it 4x) are:
A4 24
67 33
then
A4 22
67 31
then
A4 09
67 18
then
A4 26
67 35


Did a bit of checking and found that-from what I understand- code 67 could be from starting the truck with the drivers door open.
Not sure what A4 is.
BTW I did the key on/off/on x3 to check for codes and in only displayed "Done" so I assume I have no codes it that procedure.
I'm kinda confused.

I was informed that the digits and letters you noted are known as continuous codes related to functions of the vehicle and the instrument cluster. Two digits would report a condition and other digits would tell how many times it occurred. However, your ignition switch has 3 forward positions, accessory, on and start. To initiate the key trick you need to go ON off ON off ON (do not go to the start position, but you have to go past the accessory position) If you do this correctly, the codes will read out in the odometer. If the vehicle has no stored codes it should just say done followed by an audible (ding). Here is a listing of the C- codes for the 03 MY.

C-Codes
To obtain C-codes perform a Gauge Cluster Check: hold trip and turn key to run. Gauge lights will turn on to verify function, sweep gauges will move through sequence to very function, codes will display in ODO.

Smile C codes

Thanks, Dr.
Looks like the key may have been on when the doors were still open if I read the code 67 properly.
However there is no A4 in the list you gave me.
At any rate, I don't seem to have any "important" codes generated.
Thanks again.
