Circuit Description

The instrument panel cluster (IPC) contains a momentary switch that controls the trip odometer reset and trip season display options. The IPC monitors the circuit voltage levels and detects when the trip odometer reset switch has been depressed.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The IPC must have normal operating battery voltage.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The IPC detects that the trip reset switch input is low (grounded) for greater than 60 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The IPC will disable (ignore) the trip reset switch.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • A current DTC B2823 will clear after a complete ignition cycle.
    • A scan tool may be used to clear the DTC.

Diagnostic Aids

    • The IPC will store the code as current only as long as the failure exists. An intermittent failure will be stored as a history DTC B2823.
    • If DTC B2823 is set only in history, press and release the trip reset switch several times in order to verify the customer concern.
