SERVICE VEHICLE SOON
The DIC displays the SERVICE VEHICLE SOON message when the PCM sends a request. The message is displayed when the PCM detects a non-emissions failure. The message is also displayed when there is a loss of SOH.

STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE
This message is displayed when VSES has been active for at least 0.5 seconds.

STARTING DISABLED THEFT
The DIC display the STARTING DISABLED THEFT message when the VTD sends a request. The message indicates that there may have been a theft attempted and that starting is disabled.

TRACTION ACTIVE
The DIC displays the TRACTION ACTIVE message when the EBTCM sends a request. The message indicates that the traction control system is active.
