Pinpoint Test G: The Odometer Is Inoperative

Normal Operation

The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) receives the odometer rolling count data from the PCM over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) communication bus. The IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) monitors the odometer rolling count input from the PCM and commands the odometer with a display in the integrated circuit display area.

If the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) does not receive the odometer rolling count data from the PCM for more than 5 seconds, the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) sets DTC U0100:00 in continuous memory and defaults the odometer display to all dashes (-----). If the odometer rolling count data is deemed invalid by the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) for 5 seconds or more, the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) sets DTC U0401:68 and defaults the odometer display to all dashes (-----).

NOTE: If DTC U0100:00 sets in the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster), other observable symptoms may be an inoperative speedometer or tachometer.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- PCM concern

- IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster)
