The instrument panel cluster (IPC) has an internal voltage sensor with a dedicated circuit that monitors the battery positive voltage circuit to determine if it is below 18 volts.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC B1328 Device Power Circuit High
The ignition is ON.
The ignition positive voltage level is greater than 18 volts for 0.5 seconds.
• | The odometer and the PRNDL displays do not illuminate. |
• | The fuel gage and the engine coolant temperature gage default to 0. |
• | The scan tool does not communicate with the instrument cluster. |
• | The DTC becomes history when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present. |
• | The history DTC clears after 100 malfunction free warm-up cycles. |
• | The IPC receives the clear code command from the scan tool. |

1 | Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? | -- | Go to Step 2 | |
2 |
Does the voltage measure within the normal operating range? | 10-15 V | Go to Step 3 | Go to Charging System Test |
3 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the IPC. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 5 | Go to Step 4 |
4 | Replace the IPC. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming . Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 5 | -- |
5 | Operate the system in order to verify the repair. Did you correct the condition? | -- | System OK | Go to Step 2 |
