Default DIC: "Warmup complete"????

I've never seen that message before. I was driving the car out of the parking garage after work when I looked down to see "warmup complete." What was warming up and why was the DIC telling me? I've never seen that message in 12,000 miles on my 2003. The only other message I've seen a couple times was a "Charge system fault" but that hasn't happened for some time and I've heard that can be an idiosyncratic thing with no real significance. Any thoughts???

It sounds like the follow up message to the Active Handling system's warming up. Not to worry - it's also covered in your owner's manual.

It means the active handling was unable to calibrate at the start but accomplished it a bit later. Usually happens when you start off with the wheels not pointed straight.

It relates to the active handling system. Nothing to worry about, it is a normal message.

Mine does that almost every day when I am leaving the parking ramp at work. My '99 never did that, so it is something fairly new with the system.

It means that you are not driving the car hard enough so it is telling you it is warmed up for some serious driving.

I would maybe check into the "Charge System Fault" message. I have seen a few people on the forum who have had that message and then the battery takes a crap... mine has given me that message a few times and I had the dealer look at it,,they said everything was fine,,but I am still thinking about buying a new battery and tossing the Delco out the window.
