Important: Always perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
The EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) is part of the printed circuit board housed within the instrument panel cluster (IPC). It stores variables required for the operation of the IPC, interpretation of the incoming data and can be programmed for different instrument levels.
DTC B1000 will set if the EEPROM checksum is incorrect. The testing of the EEPROM checksum occurs every time the ignition is turned on. The DTC is reset when the EEPROM checksum is tested as being correct. The DTC is logged as a History DTC.
The IPC runs the program to detect an internal fault when power up is commanded. The only requirements are voltage and ground. This program runs even if the voltage is out of the valid operating range.
The IPC internal EEPROM is corrupt.
The IPC internal EEPROM has failed.
If any variant of DTC B1000 was set as current, the respective module will stop working. Some indications to the driver may be displayed, as a function of the module that sets the code.
• | The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present. |
• | The DTC can be cleared using a scan tool. |
⇒ | If DTC B1000 is still current, replace the IPC. |
Important: Always perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
