Driver Information Center (DIC) language keeps changing

Hi,

Take a look at this procedure and let me know if this is what you are doing. If it is, chances are the information center has failed.

DISPLAY LANGUAGE
Continue with the following steps in order to program the language displayed:
1. The DIC displays DISPLAY LANGUAGE: ENGLISH, FRENCH, or SPANISH.
2. Press the select button in order to scroll through the above choices.
3. Press the personalization button in order to select the displayed choice and to advance to the next option.
4. If the vehicle does not have the personalization button, use the trip stem to toggle to the season odometer display and then press and hold the trip stem to cycle through the languages and release it when the language of choice is displayed.

To end the procedure, turn the key off.

Let me know.

Hi,

That's a tough call. I would think the headlamps shorting would have taken out a fuse and not the ECM. Did this just happen since the headlamp issue?

Joe

Honestly, I don't see how that would cause all of these problems. As far as the water, yes it could cause a short and pop a fuse, but for it to damage the ECM like that doesn't make sense to me, simply because that is why there are fuses in place. Anything is possible, but this seems unlikely.

What I would suggest is this. Since the vehicle has several different modules, you should try to scan the CAN bus system. CAN stands for can bus system. If you scan the entire system, an issue like this should show up.

Here is a video that shows how it's done:

If there is a failure with the ECM, it should show up.

Let me know.

You are very welcome. Let me know what you find.

Take care,
Joe
