Certain instrument panel cluster (IPC) features are tested when the ignition is turned ON in order to verify the features are working properly. The following indicators illuminate briefly at key up unless otherwise noted:

Refer to Indicator/Warning Message Description and Operation .

The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the fuel level as determined by the engine control module (ECM). The IPC receives a serial data message from the body control module (BCM) indicating the fuel level. The fuel gage defaults to empty (E) if:

When the fuel level is less than a certain predetermined volume, the LOW FUEL message displays in the driver information center (DIC).

The vehicle odometer is calculated and stored electronically in the body control module (BCM) and is sent via the serial data circuit to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) for display. The BCM calculates and stores the mileage based on the vehicle speed serial data message from the engine control module (ECM). The IPC displays the season odometer information from the BCM in the driver information center (DIC).

The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the vehicle speed based on serial data message from the body control module (BCM). The BCM receives vehicle speed data from the engine control module (ECM) via the serial data circuit. The speedometer will default to 0 km/h (0 mph) if:

The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the engine speed based on serial data message from the body control module (BCM). The BCM receives engine speed data from the engine control module (ECM) via the serial data circuit. The tachometer will default to 0 RPM if:
