1. Driver Information Center (DIC) Switch Inoperative |
The driver information switches are normally open momentary switches. Power is provided to the driver information center (DIC) switches via the instrument panel cluster (IPC). The IPC interfaces with the DIC switches via 3 discreet circuits. The switch input to the cluster is pulled low or grounded when a switch is activated. The IPC reads the voltage at the analog input to determine which switch(es) is pressed. The switch input to the cluster is set up in a resistor ladder format for three of the four switches. The DIC switches include the PERSONALIZATION, SET/RESET, TRIP/FUEL, AND VEHICLE INFORMATION switches. A stuck switch or a short to battery sets a DTC.
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 IPC ignores the DIC 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 DIC switches are stuck, only the TRIP/FUEL switch functions correctly. When the TRIP/FUEL switch is stuck, all other DIC switches function correctly. |
• | Only the DIC switch signal circuit can be diagnosed as shorted to battery. |
Driver Information Center (DIC) Description and Operation
Control Module References for scan tool information
Ignition ON, verify that when the DIC switches are pressed and released the DIC scan tool parameters toggle between Active and Inactive.
⇒ | 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 listed below for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the IPC. |
• | DIC Switch Signal Terminal 1 |
• | DIC Select Switch Signal Terminal 3 |
⇒ | 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 and open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the IPC. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
