DIC Driver Information Center Status Messages

The vehicle information display parameters are available to the driver during the RUN power mode. The driver navigates through the various parameters displayed in the DIC by briefly pressing the INFO (SKIP) button. Some parameters can be reset by pressing the INFO RESET (NO) button for approximately one second.

Some parameters require information from other modules via class 2 serial data messages. If the Instrument Cluster (IPC) has not received data for a parameter when the time has come to display the parameter, the IPC will blank the data on the DIC. If the IPC has determined that a class 2 communication failure with one of the modules exists when the time has come to display the parameter, the IPC will display dashes in the DIC.

The vehicle information display parameters are displayed in the following order:
1. RANGE
2. MPG AVG
3. MPG INST
4. FUEL USED
5. AVG MPH
6. TIMER
7. BATTERY VOLTS
8. OIL LIFE LEFT
9. ENGLISH/METRIC reset
10. FEATURE PROGRAMMING
11. Blank display
