Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle

1. Install a scan tool.
2. Turn the ignition ON, with the engine OFF.
3. Press and release each of the driver information center (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

Go to Step 3

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