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. There is also a page switch that can scroll through multiple messages present on the HUD. The HUD is also equipped with automatic dimming. Dimming is also controlled by a HUD dimmer switch. All three switches control the HUD by grounding the HUD switch input signals to ground. The dimmer switch uses a variable resistor to control HUD intensity where the lower the resistance, the brighter the HUD display.

Scan Tool Data List

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the HUD module.
2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between both HUD grounds and ground.

⇒	If greater than 1.0 ohm, test the ground circuits for an open/high resistance.

3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the battery positive voltage circuit and ground.

⇒	If the test lamp does not illuminate, repair the battery positive voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.

4. Ignition ON, dimmer switch at the high intensity position, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the battery positive voltage circuit and the dimmer switch display signal circuit.

⇒	If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the dimmer switch display signal circuit and the dimmer switch ground circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the HUD switch.

5. Ignition ON, dimmer switch at the off position, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the battery positive voltage circuit and the dimmer switch display signal circuit.

⇒	If the test lamp does illuminate, test the dimmer switch display signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the HUD switch.

6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the HUD module.
