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 3-40
and Voltmeter Gage on page 3-41 for more information.
CHECK OIL LEVEL
If your vehicle has 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.
Once the problem is corrected, pressing any of the
four DIC buttons will acknowledge the message
and clear it from the DIC display. If your vehicle does
not have the four DIC buttons, pressing the trip
odometer reset stem will acknowledge the message and
clear it from the DIC display. This message will clear
itself after 10 seconds, until the next ignition cycle.
See Engine Oil on page 5-15 for additional information.
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
If your vehicle has 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 will
acknowledge the message and clear it from the
DIC display. If your vehicle does not have 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 to the windshield
washer reservoir will clear the message. See Windshield
Washer Fluid on page 5-37. Pressing any of the
four DIC buttons will acknowledge the message and
clear it from the DIC display. If your vehicle does
not have the four DIC buttons, pressing the trip
odometer reset stem will acknowledge the message and
clear it from the DIC display. This message will clear
itself after 10 seconds, until the next ignition cycle.
