2006 Chevy silverado DIC blank when starting

A nice simple answer, you can't. Think of it this way, the car doesn't know you are the owner, and it is there to stop exactly what you are trying to do. You have two computer ECM and BCM, plus the antitheft module and a number of sensors all trying to stop you. All you have to do is the re-learn procedure. Plan B is an auto electrician or alarm / radio installer or auto locksmith.

30 Minute Re-Learn Procedure

1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
2. Attempt to start the engine, then release the key to ON (vehicle will not start).
3. Observe the SECURITY telltale, after approximately 10 minutes the telltale will turn OFF.
4. Turn OFF the ignition, and wait 5 seconds .

Press the power button. Access the clock via the menu button. Finally press the dash buttons that are located right under each display to set the hour, minute, month, day, and year on the 2013 silverado.

make sure you have power and ground at the ipc connector, if you do, cluster needs to be replaced. If you don't have power and ground, start looking for open wires.

sounds like the camshaft sensor or the crankshaft sensor, either way I think your car is being recalled for a faulty ignition switch which could turn off by itself.

For vehicle with steering wheel conrtols ,to reset the fuel,Press and hold the select button for five seconds while the fuel filter life message is displayed . The message will appear on the DIC for ten second

DIC Vehicle Personalization Your vehicle has personalization capabilities that allow you to program certain features to a preferred setting. All of the features listed may not be available on your vehicle. Only the features available will be displayed on your DIC. The default settings for the features were set when your vehicle left the factory, but may have been changed from their default state since then.

go into the DIC on the dash and enable remote start in opions.

Try this and if it does not work let me know.

1. Turn the ignition key to the "Run" position but do not start the engine.

2. Press the display button until the display reads "Oil Life"

3. Press the accelerator (gas) pedal all the way down and all the way back up 3 times within 5 seconds.

4. The oil life index should reset to 100 or the display will read "Oil Life Index Resetting", and when completed then turn off the ignition.

Start the vehicle and verify that the oil life has been reset, and if it did not reset then repeat the procedure, because sometimes it will take more than one try to clear and reset the oil life index.


If that does not work then try this procedure...


1. Press the fuel information button until ENGINE OIL LIFE appears on the Driver Information Center (DIC).

2. Press and hold the select button.

3. The engine oil life percentage will return to 100.

4. Turn the key to OFF.

5. If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL message comes back on when you start your vehicle, the engine oil life system has not reset.
Repeat the procedure.

you need to change your brakes. they have squeaker tabs on them to let you know they are worn real low.

In my case, simply removing and reseating the IPC/DIC fuse restored the gauges to full functionality.
