Does your DIC blink under hard acceleration?
Mine does. I usually have it set to something like oil temp and for some time I've been thinking I've seen it blinking when I shift at WOT. I keep my eyes on the road and the tach usually so I don't know how long it's been doing that. Think it means I have a short in my guage cluster? thanks

My DIC tends to shrink a little, but rarely blinks, so far as I know. Of course I'm not usually looking at it either.
Sorry, AZ - I couldn't resist. :D

They're right. Message "Traction Control Active" appears for a few seconds if your tires are slipping under heavy acceleration. That's the only message I've ever seen when hitting the throttle... and it looks like normal sized text on mine (doesn't "shrink").

No, this isn't the traction control active message. I know that one. This is the current text blinking on and off.
