Instrumentation, Message Center and Warning Chimes

Pinpoint Test Y: The Overdrive (O/D) Off Indicator Is Never/Always On

Normal Operation

The Instrument Cluster (IC) receives the Overdrive (O/D) off signal from the PCM over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN). The O/D off switch is hardwired to the PCM through circuit 224 (TN/WH). When the transmission overdrive is turned off, the overdrive off switch provides a voltage signal to the PCM. The PCM, upon receipt of the overdrive off input signal, provides an O/D off signal to the IC and the IC turns on the O/D OFF indicator.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Transmission O/D off function
- PCM
- IC
