1. Driver Information Center (DIC) Switch Malfunction 2. Head-Up Display (HUD) Malfunction |
The driver information center (DIC) switch is a multiplexed switch that functions as a DIC/dimmer switch. The DIC switch is also used for the head-up-display (HUD) (if equipped). The switch then functions as the HUD/DIC/Dimmer switch. The instrument panel cluster (IPC) only monitors the DIC switch inputs. The dimmer switch is monitored by the instrument panel module (IPM) and the HUD switch inputs is monitored by the HUD. Battery power is provided to the DIC switch via the instrument panel cluster (IPC). The IPC also provides the DIC switch with a low reference. The switch input to the IPC is pulled low or grounded when a switch is activated. The DIC switch is a momentary contact switch that connects a series of resistors in a resistor ladder format. The IPC monitors the DIC switch signal circuit to determine the DIC switch inputs. Each switch state - INFO UP, INFO DOWN, INFO RESET, ENGLISH/METRIC, TRIP RESET- corresponds to a certain resistance value. The IPC determines the switch pressed by the voltage drop across the resistors.
The head-up display (HUD) is a display system that optically projects vehicle information onto the windshield. The HUD has an electric tilt adjust that is controlled by the up and down switches. Operating these switches directs the motor to move the HUD image up or down on the windshield. The HUD is equipped with a page switch that scrolls through multiple messages present on the HUD. The HUD is also equipped with automatic dimming. Dimming is controlled by the HUD dimmer switch. All three switches control the HUD by grounding the HUD switch input signals. The dimmer switch uses a variable resistor to control the intensity of the HUD display.
The ignition is in ACCESSORY or RUN.
The IPC detects that the DIC switch is stuck.
The IPC detects that the DIC switch signal circuit is shorted to battery.
The HUD detects that the HUD switch is stuck.
The HUD detects that the HUD switch signal circuit is shorted to battery.
• | The IPC ignores the DIC switch inputs. |
• | The HUD ignores the HUD switch inputs. |
• | The DTC becomes history when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present. |
• | The history DTC clears after 40 malfunction-free warm-up cycles. |
• | When the TRIP A/B switch is stuck, all other DIC switches will function correctly. When any of the DIC switches are stuck, only the TRIP A/B switch functions correctly. |
• | Only the DIC switch signal circuit can be diagnosed as shorted to battery. |

⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If any are not Inactive, test the signal circuit terminal 9 or terminal 10 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the IPC. |
⇒ | If any are not Active, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the IPC. |
⇒ | If not Active, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the IPC. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. |
