DIC lights upon startup
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

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 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.
