Did you perform the Instrument Cluster Diagnostic System Check?

Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - Instrument Cluster

1. Install a scan tool.
2. Turn the ignition ON, with the engine OFF.
3. Press and release each of the DIC switches.
4. With a scan tool, observe the DIC switch parameters in the IPC Input/Output data list.

Does the scan tool display On when each switch is pressed and Off when each switch is released?

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems

Go to Step 3

Does the scan tool display Off when each switch is pressed?

Go to Step 9

Go to Step 4

Does the scan tool always display On for the suspect switch even when the switch is released?

Go to Step 5

Go to Step 6

1. Turn the ignition OFF.
2. Disconnect the DIC switch connector.
3. Turn the ignition ON, with the engine OFF.
4. With a scan tool, observe the suspect DIC switch parameter.

Does the scan tool display On for the suspect switch?

Go to Step 7

Go to Step 12

1. Turn the ignition OFF.
2. Disconnect the DIC switch connector.
3. Connect a 3 amp fused jumper wire between the signal circuit of the suspect DIC switch and a good ground. Refer to Circuit Testing in Wiring Systems.
4. Turn the ignition ON, with the engine OFF.
5. With a scan tool, observe the suspect DIC switch parameter.

Does the scan tool display On for the suspect switch?

Go to Step 10

Go to Step 8

Test the signal circuit of the suspect DIC switch for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 14

Go to Step 11

Test the signal circuit of the suspect DIC switch for an open or high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 14

Go to Step 11

Test the ground circuit of the DIC switch for an open or high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 14

Go to Step 10

Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the DIC switch. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 14

Go to Step 12

Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the IPC. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 14

Go to Step 13

Replace the DIC switch. Refer to Steering Wheel Control Switch Assembly Replacement in Steering Wheel and Column.
