CHARGING SYSTEM FAILURE
On some vehicles, if there is a problem with the
generator and battery charging system, this message
will appear on the DIC, a chime will sound and the
charging system light on the instrument panel cluster
will come on. See Charging System Light on page 3-34
and Voltmeter Gage on page 3-35 for more information.
Driving with this problem could drain your battery.
Turn off all unnecessary accessories. Stop and turn off
the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. Have the
electrical system checked by your GM dealer
immediately.
CHECK OIL LEVEL
If the oil level in the vehicle is low, this message will
appear on the DIC. Check the oil level and correct it as
necessary. You may need to let the vehicle cool or
warm up and cycle the ignition to be sure this message
will clear. Once the problem is corrected, pressing
any of the four DIC buttons, if equipped, will clear the
message from the DIC display. If your vehicle is
not equipped with the four DIC buttons, pressing the trip
odometer reset stem will clear the message from the
DIC display. This message will clear itself after
10 seconds until the next ignition cycle.
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
If low tire pressure is detected in any of the vehicle’s
tires, this message will appear on the DIC. Pressing any
of the four DIC buttons, if equipped, will clear the
message from the DIC display. If your vehicle is not
equipped with the four DIC buttons, pressing the
trip odometer reset stem will clear the message from
the DIC display. It will appear at each ignition cycle until
the tires are inflated to the correct inflation pressure.
See Tires on page 5-60 for more information on
tires and the correct inflation pressures.
CHECK WASHER FLUID
If the washer fluid level is low, this message will appear
on the DIC. Adding washer fluid will clear the message.
See Windshield Washer Fluid on page 5-36. Pressing
any of the four DIC buttons, if equipped, will clear
the message from the DIC display. If your vehicle is not
equipped with the four DIC buttons, pressing the trip
odometer reset stem will clear the message from
the DIC display. This message will clear itself after
10 seconds until the next ignition cycle.
