On cars with the later cluster (like your 03 S) the OAT will not show if you simply code the cluster for OBC. You have to connect a stalk or switch to give the system a control input before it will show the OBC display. It can be done with a single wire, but you still need to connect it to the cluster, so it's a no-brainer to fit the switch.
Let's back up here - Tony (at Squire's) said he wasn't able to remember the PST procedure to turn it on - that's the part I'm missing.
Now if you guys are saying that...maybe he turned it on but he (and I) can't see it because the switch isn't connected....that seems like a different result. I just tried calling them and I think they're gone for the long weekend.
Can anyone confirm the PST steps for turning on the OBD display for a '03 "S"?

OK - I can add a switch (certainly there are instructions on that) - but are you saying that I need the switch to be there BEFORE I have Squire turn it on via their laptop device?

I took it to Squires in Bellevue this afternoon and it only took Tony about 10 minutes to get it done (including a test drive for the cruise) using his PST2.
I too have a 2003 S and asked Tony to turn mine on last summer, but he said that the folks who came in had the instructions and he couldn't remember the exact process. Does anyone have the steps / location / whatever for the PST2 to turn this on for a 2003 S? I'm just going to go with the OAT, no desire at this time to add a 4th stalk...
Thanks in advance,
Keith

I have the DVD with OBC instructions, but they were for the PST-2.
My mechanic has a PST-2 and I need to turn this on for my 2003 S - does anyone have these instructions?
