Im just wondering which lights should light up on the DIC when the car is started. Should all of them light up for a few seconds and then turn off? Its a 90. Thanks

 

Yes

 

So even the service engine and abs lights?

 

Yes, think of it as a bulb check.

 

Thanks, that what I thought. I did some digging around and found out I'm missing 4 bulbs in the DIC!!! Dealer can't get them anymore so hopefully I can find some.

 

According to this guy, the Service Ride Control light DOES NOT illuminate on start-up on FX-3 equipped cars.

Power on Checks and System Monitoring

Immediately after receiving power (when you turn the ignition key) the SRC computer does a power on check and if it finds a problem, it lights the Selective Ride System light on the DIC (Driver's Information Center).

If all is OK, it does not light the light and presets the shocks to a 60 degree initial position (the full range is 0 to 160 degrees). If things go badly after the initial power on sequence, the light will come on when the problem occurs and go off when the computer is satisfied that things are OK. A trouble code is stored for later retrieval if the problem is intermittent.

I have always thought all lights come on as a bulb check? Thanks for the info. If the bulb is dead how would you know you have a trouble code?

 

Thanks, thats exactly what I was looking for. The link is very helpful. Now you wouldn't happen to have any bulbs kicking around would you??

 

Page 116 of my 93 owners manual says that the light should come on at start up.

 

I need to check the manual on my 1992.

I do not have any FX3 trouble codes stored in my DIC and my Service Ride Control light does not appear my DIC either, at start-up. I can hear the actuators rotate, though, when I turn the igntion on.

 

Checked mine this am Service ride control lights up when the ign is turned "on". Goes out after 2 secs. Year, 95
