Test G: The Instrument Cluster (IC) Does Not Respond To The Scan Tool

PINPOINT TEST G: THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (IC) DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE SCAN TOOL

Normal Operation
The instrument cluster (IC) communicates with the scan tool through the high speed controller area network (HS-CAN). Circuits VDB04 (WH/BU) (HS-CAN +) and VDB05 (WH) (HS-CAN -) provide the HS-CAN connection to the IC and circuits VDB06 (GY/OG) (MS-CAN +) and VDB07 (VT/OG) (MS-CAN -) provide the MS-CAN connection to the IC. Voltage for the IC is provided by circuits CBP23 (BN/YE), SBP07 (WH/RD) and CBP20 (YE/VT). Circuit GD116 (BK/VT) provides ground.

The IC shares the HS-CAN with the following modules:
- ABS module
- Accessory protocol interface module (APIM) (if equipped)
- Instrument cluster (IC)
- Occupant classification system module (OCSM)
- PCM
- Restraints control module (RCM)
- Transmission control module (TCM) (if equipped)
- 4X4 control module (if equipped)

The IC shares the MS-CAN with the following modules:
- APIM (if equipped)
- Audio control module (ACM)
- Audio digital signal processing (DSP) module (if equipped)
- Driver seat module (DSM) (if equipped)
- Driver door module (DDM) (if equipped)
- Dual climate control seat module (DCSM) (if equipped)
- Heating ventilation air conditioning (HVAC) module (if equipped)
- Parking aid module (PAM) (if equipped)
- Satellite digital audio receiver system (SDARS) module (if equipped)
- Smart junction box (SJB)

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Fuse
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- IC
