The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
DIC controls and displays may not be functioning properly and/or inoperative. Unable to change personalization using the DIC.
Some 2004-2005 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup owners and technicians may have difficulty in programming the Driver Information Center Language. Personalization features, such as the DIC language cannot be set if the parking brake is on or the vehicle doors are not fully closed. The owner's manual did not specify this.
The proper procedure to set the driver information center language is: Release the parking brake and close all doors. Manual vehicles should be parked in reverse or first gear to prevent rolling. With the engine off and the key in the on position, press and release the reset stem until Language appears on the DIC. To view the next available language, press and hold the reset stem for approximately 2 seconds. Release the reset stem and press and hold again to view each language. Once the desired language is shown on the DIC display, briefly press the reset stem to set your choice.
Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
