Driver Information Center (DIC) Warning Messages
Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) is equipped with a 20-character vacuum fluorescent display Driver's Information Center (DIC) feature that can display specific warning/status messages. DIC will automatically display warning messages if a monitored system is malfunctioning. These warning messages will be displayed in order of priority.
If door is open, door ajar switch will send message to BCM to command DIC to display DOOR AJAR message.
Many messages may coincide with warning indicator lights or DTCs. DTCs should always be diagnosed first before any warning message. If message does not operate correctly, go to appropriate diagnostic and repair procedure under SYSTEM TESTS . For complete list of messages, see DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER (DIC) WARNING MESSAGES under SYSTEM TESTS in ANALOG INSTRUMENT PANELS - CORVETTE article.
