Service Vehicle Soon Lamp
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1999 Pontiac Grand Am and 1999 Oldsmobile Alero. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The IPC illuminates the SERVICE VEHICLE SOON indicator when the following occurs:
- The body control module (BCM) detects certain malfunctions in the lighting system. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the BCM requesting illumination. The IPC sends a class 2 message to the BCM indicating that the service vehicle soon indicator is illuminated. The BCM sends a class 2 message to the radio in order to activate an audible warning.
- The electronic brake control module (EBCM) detects a malfunction in the traction control system. The IPC receives class 2 messages from the EBCM requesting illumination of both the service vehicle soon and traction off indicators.
- The IPC performs the displays test at the start of each ignition cycle. The indicator illuminates for approximately 3 seconds.
- The IPC detects a loss of class 2 communications with the BCM.
