SERVICE POWER STEERING On some vehicles, this message displays when a problem is detected with the power steering system. When this message is displayed, you may notice that the effort required to steer the vehicle increases or feels heavier, but you will still be able to steer the vehicle. Have your vehicle serviced by your dealer/retailer immediately. SERVICE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM This message displays when there is a problem with the theft-deterrent system. A fault has been detected in the system which means that the system is disabled and it is not protecting the vehicle. The vehicle usually restarts; however, you may want to take the vehicle to your dealer/retailer before turning off the engine. See PASS-Key® III+ Electronic Immobilizer Operation on page 2-18 for more information. SERVICE STABILITRAK This message displays if there has been a problem detected with the StabiliTrak® System. A warning light also appears on the instrument panel cluster. See Traction Control System (TCS) Warning Light on page 3-32. See StabiliTrak® System on page 4-6 for more information. If this message turns on while you are driving, pull off the road as soon as possible and stop carefully. Try resetting the system by turning the ignition off and then back on. If this message still stays on or turns back on again while you are driving, your vehicle needs service. Have the StabiliTrak® System inspected by your dealer/retailer as soon as possible. SERVICE TIRE MONITOR SYSTEM This message displays if a part on the Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) is not working properly. The tire pressure light also flashes and then remains on during the same ignition cycle. See Tire Pressure Light on page 3-33. Several conditions may cause this message to appear. See Tire Pressure Monitor Operation on page 5-59 for more information. If the warning comes on and stays on, there may be a problem with the TPMS. See your dealer/retailer. 3-54
