Make sure that coolant reservoir is not going down
or losing fluid. It should maintain a fairly constant
level when checking it with a cold engine. If you have
to add coolant, you are in trouble.
The DIC message is probably caused from a bad level
sensor in the reservoir. You have to replace the entire thing
as the sensor is not sold separately. if you choose not
to replace the reservoir, please keep a eye on that coolant
level, you can ruin your engine if it runs low on coolant,
and these Northstar engines are known for that.
