Diagnosis and Testing

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Section 413-01, for schematic and connector information.

Inspection and Verification

  1. Verify the customer concern.
  1. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.

Visual Inspection Chart

Mechanical Electrical
  • Engine oil filter
  • Engine oil level
  • Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
  • Engine coolant level
  • Thermostat
  • Collapsed or damaged fuel tank
  • Door adjustment
  • Fuse(s)
  • Wiring harness
  • Electrical connector(s)
  • Instrument cluster
  • Light emitting diode(s) (LED)(s)
  1. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
  1. NOTE:
    NOTE:If none of the following warning indicators are operating correctly this may indicate a concern with the generic electronic module (GEM). If only one or two of the following warning indicators are not operating correctly this may indicate an instrument cluster concern.
    Verify the following warning indicators are working correctly:
  • Charging.
  • Turn signals.
  • Headlamps.
  1. If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and enter the instrument cluster Self-Diagnostic Mode.

Self-Diagnostic Mode

NOTE:
NOTE:The instrument cluster tripmeter reset button is located on the right-hand side of the instrument cluster lens.
  1. To enter the instrument cluster Self-Diagnostic Mode simultaneously press and hold the tripmeter reset button and turn the ignition switch to position II.
  1. When TEST is displayed in the LCD, release the tripmeter reset button.
  1. To navigate through or skip any of the instrument cluster self-diagnostic mode tests press the tripmeter RESET button. If the reset button is depressed for more than 3 seconds between tests, the instrument cluster will exit the self-diagnostic mode.
  1. The self-diagnostic mode is deactivated when the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position.
  1. If the self-diagnostic mode cannot be accessed, use WDS to diagnose the instrument cluster.
NOTE:
NOTE:Additional tests are available after the following self-diagnostic mode tests, but are not applicable for this diagnostic.

Self-Diagnostic Mode

Test Odometer Display Gauge/Indicator/Display Tested Description
1. Gauge drive and displays GAGE Tachometer, speedometer, temperature and fuel Both pointers move from the rest position (zero) to below the rest position and then back to the rest position (the pointers will not carry out a full sweep as in previous vehicles).

  1. REFER to WDS to continue diagnostics.

Configuration of Instrument Cluster

The instrument cluster is a programmable module, which must be configured by selecting the Programmable Module Installation Routine on WDS.

NOTE:
NOTE:When the new instrument cluster has been configured with the odometer value, its configuration cannot be decreased or matched. A new configuration will result in an increase in the value by a minimum of two units.
NOTE:
NOTE:The odometer value must be recorded from the original instrument cluster before removal.
NOTE:
NOTE:If the odometer value cannot be obtained from the instrument cluster (display failure) the customer should supply the approximate value.

The following features will need to be configured when a new instrument cluster is installed:

  • Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
  • Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) warning indicator
  • Anti-Lock Control - Stability Assist indicator
  • Odometer display
  • Automated Gearshift System indicator
  • Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) indicator
