Service Stabilitrak DIC Message and Telltale Illuminated
Performing a stunt driving maneuver commonly referred to as a “donut” with ESC and TCS OFF may cause a Service Stabilitrak DIC Message and tell-tale lamp to illuminate for the duration of the event.
Please note the following:
•When the vehicle is returned to a safe driving posture, the DIC message and tell-tale lamp will go out.
•In conjunction with the I/P alerts going off, the ESC and TCS systems will automatically revert to “ON.”
Note: Once turned off, the traction control and electronic stability control will not intervene with the drivers actions during the stunt maneuver, however the TCS and ESC systems will have to be turned off again by the driver if the action is to be repeated.
No attempt should be made, nor is there any possible correction for this condition. The vehicle is operating as intended.
GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
