DIC Messages
These messages will appear if there is a problem sensed
in one of your vehicle's systems. Vehicles that are first
sold in Canada will have a number after each message.
This number helps to identify the message, which is
only displayed in English.
BATTERY NOT CHARGING
- 7: This message will
appear if the battery is not being charged. Have the
electrical system checked by your dealership at your
earliest convenience.
BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE
- 27: This message is
displayed when the vehicle has detected that the battery
voltage is dropping beyond a reasonable point. The
battery saver system will start reducing certain features
of the vehicle that you may not be able to notice. At the
point that features are disabled, this message is
displayed. It means that the vehicle is trying to save the
charge in the battery. Turn off unnecessary accessories
to allow the battery to recharge.

STABILITY SYS ENGAGED - 55 : You may see the
STABILITY SYS ENGAGED message on the Driver
Information Center. It means that an advanced,
computer
-controlled system has come on to help your
vehicle continue to go in the direction in which you're
steering. This stability enhancement system activates
when the computer senses that your vehicle is just
starting to spin, as it might if you hit a patch of ice or
other slippery spot on the road. When the system is on,
you may hear a noise or feel a vibration in the brake
pedal. This is normal.
When the STABILITY SYS ENGAGED message is on,
you should continue to steer in the direction you want to
go. The system is designed to help you in bad weather or
other difficult driving situations by making the most of
whatever road conditions will permit. If the STABILITY
SYS ENGAGED message comes on, you'll know that
something has caused your vehicle to start to spin, so
you should consider slowing down.
SERVICE STEERING SYS
- 127: This message is
displayed when a problem has been detected in the
Magnasteer

variable effort steering system. Service is
required. A single chime will also sound when this
message is displayed.SERVICE SUSPENSION SYS
- 84: This message is
displayed to indicate that the suspension system is not
operating properly. To correct this problem, have your
vehicle serviced at your dealership.
SERVICE THEFT SYSTEM
- 34: This message
means there is a problem in the Personalized
Automotive Security System (PASS
-Key
III). A fault
has been detected in the system which means that the
PASS
-Key III system is disabled and is not protecting
the vehicle. The vehicle usually restarts, however, you
may want to take your vehicle to a proper service center
before turning off the engine.
SERVICE TRANSMISSION
- 100: See your dealer
for repair.
SERVICE VEHICLE SOON
- 3: This message is
displayed when a non
-emissions related powertrain
malfunction occurs. Have your vehicle serviced by a
technician as soon as possible.
SPEED LIMITED TO 90
- 113: A failure in the
suspension control system has occurred when this
message appears. The Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) determines the speed to which your vehicle is
limited. Have your vehicle serviced if this
message appears.
