Diagnostic Instructions
Circuit/System Description
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the vehicle speed based on the information from the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM). The ECM/PCM converts the data from the vehicle speed sensor to a 4000 pulses/mile signal.
The ECM/PCM sends the vehicle speed information via CAN serial data circuit to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then sends the information via class 2 serial data to the IPC to order to display the vehicle speed and miles traveled.

Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, raise the vehicles drive wheels.
- Engine ON, transmission in drive, verify the scan tool Vehicle Speed parameter matches the speedometer display.
⇒ | If the Vehicle Speed parameter does not match the speedometer display, replace the IPC. |
- Verify that the odometer is operating properly.
⇒ | If the odometer is not operating properly, replace the IPC. |
