I have the same thing!
I have read alot and still have not gotten it fixed.
Check to make sure you have a good ground.
Check to make sure all the harnesses are tight,
and now I am at the point where it could JUST be the battery.

Somwhere I read if the volts on the battery dropped below 10.5 amps when starting up, you may get those resposnses it the DIC, because they are not getting the proper electrical input at startup.

Let us know what you find, ALOT of us have the same problem!

When mine was flashing the same messages, it turned out to be a bad control module,EBTCB. It was a $2,700 repair but my warranty covered it.

The battery is fairly new and recently replaced under warranty. Hmmm. I guess I need to research it more. Where is the harness I need to tighten? anybody have any pics?

Check for any codes set, and then you will know what to do. Do a search for DIC codes if you don't know which buttons to push when, to get the stored codes.

Same here. New ABS unit and other parts. I am in the middle of this right now. The parts are on order. It was just diagnosed at the dealer last Thursday. I paid $845 a year ago to extend my warranty. Glad I did....

How can I tell if its the battery? I accidentaly drained mine twice in a row by leaving the dome light on in the cab. On top of that, my guess is the battery is so weak leaving the door open for a couple of hours drains it completely.

I get the same codes but only when I drive the car. So if the battery is weak, would the codes show up when I start the car, or could it also happen when I drive?

Thank you!!
