CHANGE ENGINE OIL
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) illuminates the CHANGE ENGINE OIL message when the powertrain control module (PCM) determines that the engine oil should be changed. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the PCM requesting illumination. Once the oil is changed, perform the engine oil monitor reset procedure in order to clear the Change Engine Oil indicator. Refer to GM Oil Life System Resetting in Maintenance and Lubrication.
CHECK OIL LEVEL
The IPC illuminates the CHECK OIL LEVEL message in the driver information center (DIC) when the powertrain control module (PCM) detects a low engine oil level condition. The PCM only monitors the oil level switch signal circuit for a brief period between key on and ignition crank. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the PCM requesting illumination.
FUEL LEVEL LOW
The IPC illuminates the FUEL LEVEL LOW message in the driver information center (DIC) and the LOW FUEL indicator when the IPC detects that the fuel level is less than a pre-determined value. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the PCM indicating fuel level percent.
ICE POSSIBLE
The IPC illuminates the ICE POSSIBLE message in the driver information center (DIC) when the outside air temperature drops below 2.5°C (36.5°F). The IPC receives a class 2 message from the body control module (BCM) indicating the outside air temperature.
OIL LIFE RESET
The IPC illuminates the OIL LIFE RESET message when the powertrain control module (PCM) determines that the engine oil should be changed. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the PCM indicating the remaining oil life percent. Once the oil is changed, perform the engine oil monitor reset procedure in order to clear the Change Engine Oil indicator. Refer to GM Oil Life System Resetting in Maintenance and Lubrication.
OIL PRESSURE LOW
The IPC illuminates the OIL PRESSURE LOW message in the driver information center (DIC) when the PCM detects a low oil pressure condition with the signal circuit low. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the PCM requesting illumination.
OVERSPEED
The IPC illuminates the OVERSPEED indicator when the IPC detects that the vehicle speed is more than 120 km/h (75 mph).
PROGRAM CLUSTER
The IPC illuminates the PROGRAM CLUSTER message in the driver information center (DIC) when the IPC has not been programmed after an IPC replacement. Refer to Service Programming System (SPS) in Programming.
TIGHTEN FUEL CAP
The IPC illuminates the TIGHTEN FUEL CAP message in the driver information center (DIC) when the powertrain control module (PCM) detects a low fuel pressure condition. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the PCM requesting illumination.
VEHICLE SPEED LIMITED
The IPC illuminates the VEHICLE SPEED LIMITED message in the driver information center (DIC)
