Display Diagnostics (OTIS)
Temperature
OTIS receives Programmable Communications Interface bus (PCI bus) messages from the Body Control Module (BCM) for all displayed information
except the compass display. If a dash (-) is displayed, OTIS is not receiving a PCI bus message from the BCM. To check out the PCI bus line and the
BCM use the DRB III scan tool and proper Body Diagnostic Procedure.
If OTIS displays SC instead of a temperature reading, the PCI bus message is more than 83 °C (181 °F). Check for a short circuit between the
temperature sensor and the BCM.
If OTIS displays OC instead of a temperature, the PCI bus message is less than -55 °C (-67°F). Check for an open circuit between the temperature
sensor and the BCM.
Average Fuel Economy
OTIS receives average fuel economy information from the BCM over the PCI bus line. If OTIS displays - . - instead of an average fuel economy
value, it is not receiving a PCI bus message for the average fuel economy from the BCM. To check out the PCI bus line and the BCM use the DRB
DRB III scan tool.
Distance to Empty
OTIS receives distance to empty information from the BCM over the PCI bus line. If OTIS displays a dash (-) instead of a distance to empty value, it
is not receiving a PCI bus message for the distance to empty from the BCM. To check out the PCI bus line and the BCM use the DRB III® scan tool.
Instantaneous Fuel Economy
OTIS receives instantaneous fuel economy information from the BCM over the PCI bus line. If OTIS displays a dash (-) instead of an instantaneous
fuel economy value, it is not receiving a PCI bus message for the instantaneous fuel economy from the BCM. To check out the PCI bus line and the
BCM use the DRB III scan tool.
Trip Odometer
OTIS receives trip odometer information from the BCM over the PCI bus line. If OTIS displays dashes instead of the trip odometer value, it is not
receiving a PCI bus message for the trip odometer from the BCM. To check out the PCI bus line and the BCM, use the DRB III scan tool.
Elapsed Time
OTIS receives a PCI bus message containing elapsed time information. If OTIS displays dashes instead of the elapsed time, it is not receiving a PCI
bus message for the elapsed time from the BCM. To check out the PCI bus line and the BCM, use the DRB III scan tool.
Compass Display
To display the vehicle direction, the OTIS processes information from a sensor internal to the module. The OTIS is self- calibrating and requires only
variance adjustments dependent upon location. The OTIS displays the label CAL whenever the compass is in the fast calibration mode.
If all three of the following conditions listed below occur, the vehicle must be demagnetized.
-
Compass portion of the display is blank
-
Temperature portion of the display is OK
-
The label CAL is illuminated
If demagnetizing the vehicle is needed, refer to the demagnetizing procedure. After demagnetizing, to calibrate the compass refer to Calibration
Procedure and to set the variance refer to Variance Procedure. If the compass portion of the display is still blank, replace the OTIS.
