PINPOINT TEST 1: THE COMPASS IS INOPERATIVE - HYBRID
Normal Operation
The compass display (located in the front display interface module (FDIM)) receives battery voltage from the smart junction box (SJB) fuse 14 (10A)
through circuit (BR/R). Ground for the compass display (FDIM) is supplied through circuit (B/L). The compass module provides vehicle directional
inputs to the instrument cluster, which sends the compass information to the FDIM over the medium speed controller area network (MS-CAN). The
FDIM will display the compass direction according to the information that has been provided by the compass module to the instrument cluster.
-
DTC B2097 (Electronic Compass Failure) - sets when the instrument cluster attempts a self-test of the electronic compass and its associated
circuits and a failure results.
-
DTC U0155 (Lost Communication With Instrument Panel Cluster [IC] Control Module) - sets when the FDIM does not receive any network
communication messages over the MS-CAN network between the instrument cluster and the FDIM.
