Pinpoint Test H: The Odometer Is Inoperative

Normal Operation

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

If the IC does not receive the odometer rolling count data from the PCM for more than 5 seconds, the IC sets DTC U0100 in continuous memory and defaults the odometer display to all dashes (-----). If the odometer rolling count data is deemed invalid by the IC for 5 seconds or longer, the IC sets DTC U2023 and defaults the odometer display to all dashes (-----).

NOTE: If DTC U0100 is set in the IC, other observable symptoms may be an inoperative speedometer or tachometer, temperature gauge.

- DTC B2143 (NVM Memory Failure) - a continuous and on-demand DTC that sets if the IC Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) is corrupted. If the IC determines the NVM to be corrupt, the IC sets DTC B2143 and displays ERROR in the vacuum fluorescent display area.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- PCM concern
- IC



PINPOINT TEST H: THE ODOMETER IS INOPERATIVE

-------------------------------------------------
H1 CHECK FOR CORRUPTED NON-VOLATILE MEMORY (NVM)


- Ignition ON.
- Observe the message center display area.
- Does the odometer display ERROR?

Yes
INSTALL a new IC. REFER to Instrument Cluster (IC) Instrument Cluster (IC). TEST the system for normal operation.

No
GO to H2.

-------------------------------------------------
H2 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM BOTH CONTINUOUS AND ON-DEMAND PCM SELF-TESTS


- Check the recorded PCM DTCs from the continuous and on-demand self-tests.
- Are any DTCs recorded?

Yes
REFER to Computers and Control Systems Information.

No
GO to H3.

-------------------------------------------------
H3 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM BOTH THE CONTINUOUS AND ON-DEMAND IC SELF-TESTS


- Check for recorded IC DTCs from the continuous and on-demand self-tests.
- Are any DTCs recorded?

Yes
For DTC U0100, Go To Pinpoint Test AE. Pinpoint Tests AE: DTC U0100

For DTC U2023, RETRIEVE and REPAIR all non-network DTCs in the PCM and other modules on the network. REFER to Computers and Control Systems Information.

For all other DTCs, REFER to DTC Charts. Instrumentation, Message Center and Warning Chimes

No
INSTALL a new IC. REFER to Instrument Cluster (IC) Instrument Cluster (IC). TEST the system for normal operation.
