G6 V6-3.5L (2009)
TRIP A and TRIP B
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) contains a season odometer and a trip odometer. Momentarily press the trip/reset switch in order to toggle between
the season odometer and the trip odometer. Press the trip/reset switch for greater than 2 seconds, while the trip odometer is displayed, in order to reset
the trip odometer. The IPC displays the vehicle mileage and trip mileage as determined by the IPC. The IPC calculates the mileage based on the vehicle
speed from the engine control module (ECM). The odometer will display 'error' if an internal IPC memory failure is detected.

OIL-LIFE RESET
The engine control module (ECM) sends the oil life remaining percentage to the body control module (BCM) via the serial data circuit. The radio
receives serial data messages from the BCM indicating the remaining oil life. The radio displays the current percentage of the GM Oil Life System as
determined by the ECM. When the oil life remaining percentage drops below 10 percent, the radio displays CHANGE ENGINE OIL. When the engine
oil is changed, reset the engine oil life in order to clear the oil life remaining percentage display. Press and hold the ENTER button for 5 seconds until
the radio displays ACKNOWLEDGED.
Ambient Air Temperature
The body control module (BCM) reads the ambient air temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is a 2-wire negative temperature co-efficient
thermistor. The BCM provides 5 volts to an internal input resistor that is connected to the ambient air temperature sensor. The ambient air temperature is
displayed in the driver information center (DIC) located in the radio. The ambient air temperature information is transmitted by the BCM for display in
the DIC via the serial data circuit. The BCM provides the ambient air temperature information in Celsius. The radio converts the temperature to
Fahrenheit, if required.
