Test C: Incorrect Temperature Gauge Indication

PINPOINT TEST C: INCORRECT TEMPERATURE GAUGE INDICATION

Normal Operation

The instrument cluster (IC) receives the engine coolant temperature data from the PCM over the controller area network (CAN). The instrument cluster (IC) monitors the engine coolant temperature data received from the PCM and commands the engine coolant temperature gauge pointer.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- PCM
- Instrument cluster (IC)
