System Check
When the SET FOR SYSTEM CHECK information is currently displayed, pressing the SET button leads the instrument cluster to initiate the
system check function. The system check function provides the driver with the current status of certain vehicle functions. The status of each
function is displayed sequentially on the message center. The driver has the ability to scroll through the system check displays by repeatedly
pressing the SET button, or the display automatically scrolls at 2 seconds time out per display. The system check function can be terminated at any
time by pressing any message center switch other than the SET button.
Warning Indicators and Messages
Warning Indicators And Messages
The warning messages have precedence over all other messages. Every warning message is displayed. The messages can be single cycle,
non-resettable, or repetitive. The instrument cluster indicators that are illuminated when a fault occurs and the message that follows are shown in
the table.
Warning Messages
The instrument cluster messages that are displayed when a fault occurs are shown in the table.
The warning messages continue to cycle in order until the vehicle condition causing the warning is corrected, until the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position, or until the message center is reset while the warning is displayed. A warning is removed from the display when the message
center is reset unless the warning is non-resettable. A repeated warning message is removed from the display when the message center is reset and
displays again after 10 minutes if the warning condition is not corrected. The single cycle warning message is removed from the display when the
message center is reset and is not displayed again until the next ignition cycle. Multiple messages are cycled through in a fixed order with a display
of 4 seconds for each warning. No other display modes are allowed while a warning message is displayed.
