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
battery warning light on the instrument panel cluster will
come on. 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. See Battery Warning Light on page 3-42
and Voltmeter Gage on page 3-42 for more information.
CHECK OIL LEVEL
If your vehicle is equipped with an oil level sensor and
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. The message will clear itself after 10 seconds,
until the next ignition cycle. Once the problem is
corrected, pressing any of the four DIC buttons, if
equipped, will acknowledge the message and clear it
from the DIC display. If your vehicle is not equipped with
the four DIC buttons, pressing the trip odometer reset
stem will acknowledge the message and clear it from the
DIC display.
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
If your vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pressure
Monitor System and a low tire pressure is detected in
any of the vehicle’s tires, this message will appear
on the DIC, along with a chime. Pressing any of the four
DIC buttons, if equipped, will acknowledge the
message and clear it from the DIC display. If your
vehicle is not equipped with the four DIC buttons,
pressing the trip odometer reset stem will acknowledge
the message and clear it from the DIC display. It will
appear at each ignition cycle until the tires are inflated to
the correct inflation pressure.
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
acknowledge the message and clear it from the DIC
display. If your vehicle is not equipped with the four DIC
buttons, pressing the trip odometer reset stem will
acknowledge the message and clear it from the DIC
display. The message will clear itself after 10 seconds or
until the next ignition cycle.
