the steering column:

DIC Controls and Displays
When you turn the ignition on, the DIC will display your
driver number. You can have your GM dealer program
your name to appear on this display line. See your
GM dealer for more information.
The system will then perform a status check and display
any messages if a problem is detected. If there are
no problems detected, the display will return to the mode
selected by that driver the last time the ignition was
turned off.
If a problem is detected, a diagnostic message will
appear in the display. The following pages will show the
messages you may see on the DIC display.
The message center is continuously updated with the
vehicle’s performance status.
