When the DIC lights up with every automotive warning signal known to man yet the car continues to run normally it's usually the connector for the door wiring, correct? I've searched for the cause of this but have only been able to find one warning here and there.
Unfortunately I was running late for an appointment and didn't think to check for codes.
YOU MOST LIKELY HAVE A CORRUPTED SERIAL DATA LINE!
Loose/damaged/bent/spread female pins in the left and right DCM and or SCM connector seem to be the most prevalent culprits
Wet/damp BCMs are another well-known serial data buss issue.
Start with the LDCM & RDCM & SCM connectors and look for damaged pins. Bend them back so there you have proper male female pin connections.

Thanks Bill. I don't have any water leakage (the first thing I checked), but it's possible something might have been dislodged when I installed the column lock bypass module last year that just now decided to mess up bad enough to cause a visible effect. Talk about a WTF moment.
Look to the LEFT of the BCM and find the TWO thin STAR connectors. Pop the TOP off the connector with FOUR wires and see if the issue goes away after you cycle the ignition..

It actually hasn't repeated since I turned the car off soon after it happened last weekend, but if it happened once it can again. I'll be digging into it this weekend; I have two final exams to complete by tomorrow that I have to take care of first.
