Diagnostic Aids

When the Low Engine Oil Level indicator/message displays in the driver information center (DIC) due to a low engine oil level condition, make sure that the ignition is turned OFF before adding or changing the oil in the vehicle. Failure to do so may result in the Low Engine Oil Level indicator/message staying on after the engine attains proper oil level.
When the Low Engine Oil Level indicator/message displays in the DIC and the ignition is not turned OFF before adding or changing the engine oil, the Low Engine Oil Level indicator/message may stay ON even after the proper oil level is attained. For the Low Engine Oil Level indicator/message to turn OFF, the engine has to undergo a thermocycle process, refer to Indicator/Warning Message Description and Operation
Before replacing the IPC because of the Low Engine Oil Level indicator/message staying ON after an oil change or engine oil addition, it is necessary for the engine to undergo a thermocycle process. The IPC may not be malfunctioning but only needs the Low Engine Oil Level indicator/message to turn OFF after an engine thermocycle process. Refer to Indicator/Warning Message Description and Operation
