If the DIC message comes on with
no sign of steam, try this for a
minute or so:
1. In heavy traffic, let the engine
idle in N (Neutral) while
stopped. If it is safe to do so,
pull off the road, shift to
P (Park) or N (Neutral), and let
the engine idle.
2. Turn on the heater to full hot at
the highest fan speed and
open the window as necessary.
If the vehicle no longer has the
overheat warning, the vehicle can
be driven. Just to be safe, drive
slower for about 10 minutes. If the
warning does not come back on,
drive normally and have the cooling
system checked for proper fill and
function.
If the warning continues, pull over,
stop, and park the vehicle
right away.
Engine Fan
The vehicle has electric cooling
fan(s). The fans may be heard
spinning at low speed during most
everyday driving. The fans may turn
off if no cooling is required. Under
heavy vehicle loading, trailer towing,
high outside temperatures,
or operation of the air conditioning
system, the fans may change to
high speed and an increase in fan
noise may be heard. This is normal
and indicates that the cooling
system is functioning properly. The
fans will change to low speed when
additional cooling is no longer
required.
The electric engine cooling fans
may run after the engine has been
turned off. This is normal and no
service is required.
