HIGH BEAM INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A high beam indicator is standard equipment on
all instrument clusters. The high beam indicator is
located near the upper edge of the instrument clus-
ter, between the tachometer and the speedometer.
The high beam indicator consists of an International
Control and Display Symbol icon for ªHigh Beamº
imprinted on a blue lens. The lens is located behind a
cutout in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster
overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents
the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. The icon appears silhouetted against a
blue field through the translucent outer layer of the
overlay when the indicator is illuminated from
behind by a replaceable incandescent bulb and bulb
holder unit located on the instrument cluster elec-
tronic circuit board. When the exterior lighting is
turned On, the illumination intensity of the high
beam indicator is dimmable, which is adjusted using
the panel lamps dimmer control ring on the control
stalk of the left multi-function switch. The high beam
indicator lens is serviced as a unit with the instru-
ment cluster lens, hood and mask unit.
OPERATION
The high beam indicator gives an indication to the
vehicle operator whenever the headlamp high beams
are illuminated. This indicator is controlled by a
transistor on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board based upon cluster programming and elec-
tronic messages received by the cluster from the
Body Control Module (BCM) over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus. The high
beam indicator bulb is completely controlled by the
instrument cluster logic circuit, and that logic will
allow this indicator to operate whenever the instru-
ment cluster receives a battery current input on the
fused B(+) circuit. Therefore, the indicator can be
illuminated regardless of the ignition switch position.
The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path
to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. Theinstrument cluster will turn on the high beam indi-
cator for the following reasons:
²High Beam Indicator Lamp-On Message-
Each time the cluster receives a high beam indicator
lamp-on message from the BCM indicating that the
headlamp high beams are turned On, the high beam
indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a high beam
indicator lamp-off message from the BCM.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the high beam indicator
will be turned on for the duration of the test to con-
firm the functionality of the bulb and the cluster con-
trol circuitry.
The BCM continually monitors the exterior light-
ing (left multi-function) switch to determine the
proper outputs to the headlamp low beam and high
beam relays. The BCM then sends the proper high
beam indicator lamp-on and lamp-off messages to the
instrument cluster. If the high beam indicator fails to
light during the actuator test, replace the bulb with a
known good unit. For further diagnosis of the high
beam indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry
that controls the indicator, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING). For proper diagnosis of the headlamp
system, the BCM, the PCI data bus, or the electronic
message inputs to the instrument cluster that control
the high beam indicator, a DRBIIItscan tool is
required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic infor-
mation.
LOW FUEL INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A low fuel indicator is standard equipment on all
instrument clusters. The low fuel indicator is located
near the left edge of the instrument cluster, to the left
of the tachometer. The low fuel indicator consists of an
International Control and Display Symbol icon for
ªFuelº imprinted on an amber lens. The lens is located
behind a cutout in the opaque layer of the instrument
cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay
prevents the icon from being clearly visible when the
indicator is not illuminated. The icon appears silhou-
etted against an amber field through the translucent
outer layer of the overlay when the indicator is illumi-
nated from behind by a replaceable incandescent bulb
and bulb holder unit located on the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board. When the exterior lighting is
turned On, the illumination intensity of the low fuel
indicator is dimmable, which is adjusted using the
panel lamps dimmer control ring on the control stalk
of the left multi-function switch. The low fuel indica-
8J - 22 INSTRUMENT CLUSTERWJ
FUEL GAUGE (Continued)

tor lens is serviced as a unit with the instrument clus-
ter lens, hood and mask unit.
OPERATION
The low fuel indicator gives an indication to the
vehicle operator when the level of fuel in the fuel
tank becomes low. This indicator is controlled by a
transistor on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board based upon cluster programming and elec-
tronic messages received by the cluster from the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Program-
mable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus. The
low fuel indicator bulb is completely controlled by the
instrument cluster logic circuit, and that logic will
only allow this indicator to operate when the instru-
ment cluster receives a battery current input on the
fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the indicator will always be off when the
ignition switch is in any position except On or Start.
The bulb only illuminates when it is switched to
ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn on the low fuel indicator
for the following reasons:
²Bulb Test- Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the low fuel indicator is
illuminated for about three seconds as a bulb test.
²Less Than 12.5 Percent Tank Full Message-
Each time the cluster receives a message from the
PCM indicating that the percent tank full is less
than about 12.5 (one-eighth), the low fuel indicator is
illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until
the cluster receives messages from the PCM indicat-
ing that the percent tank full has increased to
greater than about 12.5 (one-eighth). The PCM
applies an algorithm to the input from the fuel tank
sender to dampen the illumination of the low fuel
indicator against the negative effect that fuel slosh-
ing within the fuel tank can have on accurate inputs
to the PCM.
²Less Than Empty Percent Tank Full Mes-
sage- Each time the cluster receives a message from
the PCM indicating the percent tank full is less than
empty, the low fuel indicator is illuminated immedi-
ately. This message would indicate that the fuel tank
sender input to the PCM is a short circuit.
²More Than Full Percent Tank Full Message
- Each time the cluster receives a message from the
PCM indicating the percent tank full is more than
full, the low fuel indicator is illuminated immedi-
ately. This message would indicate that the fuel tank
sender input to the PCM is an open circuit.
²Communication Error- If the cluster fails to
receive a percent tank full message for more than
about twelve seconds, the cluster control circuitry
will illuminate the low fuel indicator until a new per-
cent tank full message is received.²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the low fuel indicator will
be turned on for the duration of the test to confirm
the functionality of the bulb and the cluster control
circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the fuel tank
sender input to determine the fuel level. The PCM
then applies an algorithm to the input and sends the
proper percent tank full messages to the instrument
cluster. If the low fuel indicator fails to light during
the bulb test, replace the bulb with a known good
unit. For further diagnosis of the low fuel indicator
or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the
indicator, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). For
proper diagnosis of the fuel tank sender, the PCM,
the PCI data bus, or the electronic message inputs to
the instrument cluster that control the low fuel indi-
cator, a DRBIIItscan tool is required. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR
LAMP (MIL)
DESCRIPTION
A Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is standard
equipment on all instrument clusters. The MIL is
located near the right edge of the instrument cluster,
to the right of the speedometer. The MIL consists of
an International Control and Display Symbol icon for
ªEngineº imprinted on an amber lens. The lens is
located behind a cutout in the opaque layer of the
instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of
the overlay prevents the icon from being clearly vis-
ible when the indicator is not illuminated. The icon
appears silhouetted against an amber field through
the translucent outer layer of the overlay when the
indicator is illuminated from behind by a replaceable
incandescent bulb and bulb holder unit located on
the instrument cluster electronic circuit board. The
MIL lens is serviced as a unit with the instrument
cluster lens, hood and mask unit.
OPERATION
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) gives an
indication to the vehicle operator when the Power-
train Control Module (PCM) has recorded a Diagnos-
tic Trouble Code (DTC) for an On-Board Diagnostics
II (OBDII) emissions-related circuit or component
malfunction. This indicator is controlled by a transis-
tor on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board
based upon cluster programming and electronic mes-
sages received by the cluster from the PCM over the
Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data
bus. The MIL bulb is completely controlled by the
WJINSTRUMENT CLUSTER 8J - 23
LOW FUEL INDICATOR (Continued)

instrument cluster logic circuit, and that logic will
only allow this indicator to operate when the instru-
ment cluster receives a battery current input on the
fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the indicator will always be off when the
ignition switch is in any position except On or Start.
The bulb only illuminates when it is provided a path
to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn on the MIL for the fol-
lowing reasons:
²Bulb Test- Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the MIL is illuminated for
about three seconds as a bulb test.
²MIL Lamp-On Message- Each time the clus-
ter receives a MIL lamp-on message from the PCM,
the indicator will be illuminated. The indicator can
be flashed on and off, or illuminated solid, as dic-
tated by the PCM message. For some DTC's, if a
problem does not recur, the PCM will send a MIL
lamp-off message automatically. Other DTC's may
require that a fault be repaired and the PCM be
reset before a MIL lamp-off message will be sent. For
more information on the PCM and the DTC set and
reset parameters, (Refer to 25 - EMISSIONS CON-
TROL - OPERATION).
²Communication Error- If the cluster receives
no MIL lamp-on or lamp-off messages from the PCM
for twenty consecutive seconds, the MIL is illumi-
nated by the instrument cluster. The indicator
remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster
until a valid MIL lamp-on or lamp-off message is
received from the PCM.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the MIL will be turned on
for the duration of the test to confirm the functional-
ity of the bulb and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors each of the many
fuel and emissions system circuits and sensors to
decide whether the system is in good operating con-
dition. The PCM then sends the proper MIL lamp-on
or lamp-off messages to the instrument cluster. If the
MIL fails to light during the bulb test, replace the
bulb with a known good unit. For further diagnosis of
the MIL or the instrument cluster circuitry that con-
trols the indicator, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/IN-
STRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING). If the instrument cluster turns on the
MIL after the bulb test, it may indicate that a mal-
function has occurred and that the fuel and emis-
sions system may require service. For proper
diagnosis of the fuel and emissions systems, the
PCM, the PCI data bus, or the electronic message
inputs to the instrument cluster that control the
MIL, a DRBIIItscan tool is required. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.ODOMETER
DESCRIPTION
An odometer and trip odometer are standard
equipment in all instrument clusters. The odometer
and trip odometer information are displayed in a
common electronic, blue-green Vacuum-Fluorescent
Display (VFD), which is located in the lower edge of
the speedometer dial face in the instrument cluster
and, when illuminated, is visible through a small
window cutout in the gauge overlay. However, the
odometer and trip odometer information are not dis-
played simultaneously. The trip odometer reset
switch on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board toggles the display between odometer and trip
odometer modes by depressing the odometer/trip
odometer switch button that extends through the
lower edge of the cluster lens to the right of the
speedometer.
All odometer and trip odometer distance informa-
tion is stored in the instrument cluster memory. This
distance information can be increased when the
proper inputs are provided to the instrument cluster,
but the distance information cannot be decreased.
The odometer can display values up to 999,999 kilo-
meters (999,999 miles). The odometer will not roll
over, but will latch at the maximum value. The trip
odometer can display values up to 999.9 kilometers
(999.9 miles) before it rolls over to zero. The odome-
ter display does not have a decimal point and will
not show values less than a full unit (kilometer or
mile), the trip odometer display does have a decimal
point and will show tenths of a unit (kilometer or
mile).
The unit of measure for the odometer and trip
odometer display is not shown in the VFD. The unit
of measure for the odometer/trip odometer is selected
at the time that the instrument cluster is manufac-
tured, and cannot be changed. If the instrument clus-
ter has a kilometers-per-hour primary speedometer
scale, the odometer/trip odometer registers kilome-
ters; and, if the cluster features a miles-per-hour pri-
mary speedometer scale, the odometer/trip odometer
registers miles.
During daylight hours (exterior lamps Off) the
VFD is illuminated at full brightness for clear visibil-
ity. At night (exterior lamps are On) the instrument
cluster converts an electronic dimming level message
received from the Body Control Module (BCM) over
the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI)
data bus to a digital dimming level signal for control-
ling the lighting level of the VFD. However, a
ªParadeº mode position of the panel lamps dimmer
control ring on the control stalk of the left (lighting)
multi-function switch allows the VFD to be illumi-

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) (Continued)

OPERATION
The speedometer gives an indication to the vehicle
operator of the vehicle road speed. This gauge is con-
trolled by the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board based upon cluster programming and elec-
tronic messages received by the cluster from the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Program-
mable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus. The
speedometer is an air core magnetic unit that
receives battery current on the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board through the fused ignition
switch output (run-start) circuit whenever the igni-
tion switch is in the On or Start positions. The clus-
ter is programmed to move the gauge needle back to
the low end of the scale after the ignition switch is
turned to the Off position. The instrument cluster
circuitry controls the gauge needle position and pro-
vides the following features:
²Vehicle Speed Message- Each time the clus-
ter receives a vehicle speed message from the PCM it
will calculate the correct vehicle speed reading and
position the gauge needle at that speed position on
the gauge scale. The cluster will receive a new vehi-
cle speed message and reposition the gauge pointer
accordingly about every 86 milliseconds. The gauge
needle will continue to be positioned at the actual
vehicle speed position on the gauge scale until the
ignition switch is turned to the Off position.
²Communication Error- If the cluster fails to
receive a speedometer message, it will hold the gauge
needle at the last indication for about six seconds, or
until the ignition switch is turned to the Off position,
whichever occurs first. If a new speed message is not
received after about six seconds, the gauge needle
will return to the far left (low) end of the scale.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the gauge needle will be
swept across the entire gauge scale and back in order
to confirm the functionality of the gauge and the
cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the vehicle speed
information received from the Controller Anti-lock
Brake (CAB) to determine the vehicle road speed,
then sends the proper vehicle speed messages to the
instrument cluster. For further diagnosis of the
speedometer or the instrument cluster circuitry that
controls the gauge, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/IN-
STRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TEST-
ING). For proper diagnosis of the CAB, the PCM, the
PCI data bus, or the electronic message inputs to the
instrument cluster that control the speedometer, a
DRBIIItscan tool is required. Refer to the appropri-
ate diagnostic information.
TACHOMETER
DESCRIPTION
A tachometer is standard equipment on all instru-
ment clusters. The tachometer is located to the left of
the speedometer in the instrument cluster. The
tachometer consists of a movable gauge needle or
pointer controlled by the instrument cluster circuitry,
and a fixed 255 degree scale on the gauge dial face
that reads left-to-right from 0 to 7 for gasoline
engines, or from 0 to 6 for diesel engines. The text ªX
1000º (base cluster) or ªRPM X 1000º (premium clus-
ter) imprinted on the cluster overlay directly below
the hub of the tachometer needle identifies that each
number on the tachometer scale is to be multiplied
by 1000 rpm. The gasoline engine tachometer has a
red zone beginning at 5800 RPM, while the red zone
for the diesel engine tachometer begins at 4200 RPM.
The tachometer in the premium version cluster for
certain engine and market applications also includes
red text located in the center of the gauge dial face
just above the hub of the tachometer needle that
specifies a special fuel requirement.
The tachometer graphics are either white, gray
and orange against a black gauge dial face (base
cluster) or black, gray and red against a taupe gauge
dial face (premium cluster), making them clearly vis-
ible within the instrument cluster in daylight. When
illuminated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer
controlled cluster illumination lighting with the exte-
rior lamps turned On, the base cluster white gauge
graphics appear blue-green and the orange graphics
still appear orange, while the premium cluster taupe
gauge dial face appears blue-green with the black
graphics silhouetted against the illuminated back-
ground and the red graphics still appear red. The
gray gauge graphics for both versions of the cluster
are not illuminated. The orange gauge needle in the
base cluster gauge is internally illuminated, while
the black gauge needle in the premium cluster gauge
is not.
Base cluster gauge illumination is provided by
replaceable incandescent bulb and bulb holder units
located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board. Premium cluster gauge illumination is pro-
vided by an integral electro-luminescent lamp that is
serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster. The
tachometer is serviced as a unit with the instrument
cluster.
OPERATION
The tachometer gives an indication to the vehicle
operator of the engine speed. This gauge is controlled
by the instrument cluster electronic circuit board

wait-to-start indicator, a DRBIIItscan tool is
required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic infor-
mation.
WATER-IN-FUEL INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A water-in-fuel indicator is only found in the
instrument clusters of vehicles equipped with an
optional diesel engine. The water-in-fuel indicator is
located near the left edge of the instrument cluster,
to the left of the tachometer. The water-in-fuel indi-
cator consists of an International Control and Dis-
play Symbol icon for ªWater in Fuelº imprinted on a
red lens. The lens is located behind a cutout in the
opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The
dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the icon
from being clearly visible when the indicator is not
illuminated. The icon appears silhouetted against a
red field through the translucent outer layer of the
overlay when the indicator is illuminated from
behind by a Light Emitting Diode (LED), which is
soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board. The water-in-fuel indicator lens is serviced as
a unit with the instrument cluster lens, hood and
mask unit.
OPERATION
The water-in-fuel indicator gives an indication to
the vehicle operator when there is excessive water in
the fuel system. This indicator is controlled by a
transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board
based upon cluster programming and electronic mes-
sages received by the cluster from the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus. The water-in-
fuel indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is
completely controlled by the instrument cluster logic
circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator tooperate when the instrument cluster receives a bat-
tery current input on the fused ignition switch out-
put (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the indicator will
always be off when the ignition switch is in any posi-
tion except On or Start. The LED only illuminates
when it is provided a path to ground by the instru-
ment cluster transistor. The instrument cluster will
turn on the water-in-fuel indicator for the following
reasons:
²Bulb Test- Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the water-in-fuel indicator
is illuminated for about three seconds as a bulb test.
²Water-In-Fuel Indicator Lamp-On Message-
Each time the cluster receives a water-in-fuel indica-
tor lamp-on message from the PCM indicating there
is excessive water in the diesel fuel system, the
water-in-fuel indicator will be illuminated. The indi-
cator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a
water-in-fuel indicator lamp-off message, or until the
ignition switch is turned to the Off position, which-
ever occurs first.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the water-in-fuel indicator
will be turned on for the duration of the test to con-
firm the functionality of the LED and the cluster con-
trol circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the water-in-fuel
sensor to determine whether there is excessive water
in the diesel fuel. The PCM then sends the proper
water-in-fuel indicator lamp-on and lamp-off mes-
sages to the instrument cluster. For further diagnosis
of the water-in-fuel indicator or the instrument clus-
ter circuitry that controls the indicator, (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNO-
SIS AND TESTING). For proper diagnosis of the
water-in-fuel sensor, the PCM, the PCI data bus, or
the electronic message inputs to the instrument clus-
ter that control the water-in-fuel indicator, a
DRBIIItscan tool is required. Refer to the appropri-
ate diagnostic information.

for door and liftgate open indications and to show if a
turn signal has been left on. The EVIC messages and
displays are coordinated with warning indicators in
the instrument cluster to avoid duplication.
The EVIC module contains a central processing
unit and interfaces with other electronic modules in
the vehicle over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus network. The PCI data bus
network allows the sharing of sensor information.
This helps to reduce wire harness complexity, reduce
internal controller hardware, and reduce component
sensor current loads. At the same time, this system
provides increased reliability, enhanced diagnostics,
and allows the addition of many new feature capabil-
ities.
The EVIC module includes the following display

display each time the memory system is successfully
programmed. It is accompanied by an audible
announcement chime tone.
²MEMORY SYSTEM DISABLED- The memory
system is automatically disabled while the driver
side seat belt is fastened and/or while the automatic
transmission gear selector is in any position except
Park or Neutral. This message appears in the EVIC
display as a reminder when a memory switch push
button is depressed while the memory system is dis-
abled. If the REMOTE LINKED TO MEMORY cus-
tomer programmable feature has been selected, this
message will also appear when the Unlock button of
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is
depressed while the memory system is disabled.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional Univer-
sal Transmitter transceiver, the EVIC will also dis-
play messages and an icon indicating when the
Universal Transmitter is being trained, which of the
three transmitter buttons is transmitting, and when
the transceiver is cleared.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optionalTire
Pressure Monitoring System, the EVIC will also
display messages and an icon indicating when the
tire air pressure falls below a given set-point, and
which of the five tires is transmitting the low pres-
sure warning, and when the condition is cleared.
Refer to the Tires/Wheels section of this manual for
complete Tire Pressure Monitoring System descrip-
tion. Refer to this section of the service manual for
EVIC modules function description for the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring.
Data input for all EVIC functions, including VFD
dimming level, is received through PCI data bus

OPERATION
The EVIC has access to both non-switched and
ignition switched sources of battery current so that
some of its features remain operational at any time,
while others may only operate with the ignition
switch in the On position. When the ignition switch
is turned to the On position, the EVIC module VFD
will return to the last function being displayed before
the ignition was turned to the Off position.
The compass/temperature display is the normal
EVIC display. With the ignition switch in the On
position, momentarily depressing and releasing the
C/T (compass/temperature) push button switch will
cause the EVIC to return to the compass/tempera-
ture/trip computer display mode from any other
mode. While in the compass/temperature/trip com-
puter display mode, momentarily depressing and
releasing the Step push button will step through the
available trip computer display options.
The EVIC trip computer features several functions
that can be reset. The functions that can be reset
are: average fuel economy, trip odometer and elapsed
time. With the ignition switch in the On position and
with one of the functions of the trip computer that
can be reset currently displayed, depressing the
Reset push button twice within three seconds will
perform a global reset, and all of the trip computer
information that can be reset will be reset to zero.
With the ignition switch in the On position and the
function that is to be reset currently displayed,
momentarily depressing and releasing the Reset
push button once will perform a local reset, and only
the value of the displayed function will be reset to
zero. A global or local reset will only occur if the
function currently displayed is a function that can be
reset. The distance to service function can also be
reset using the local reset method, but it will reset
back to the Service Interval distance that is set in
the EVIC programmable features mode. Refer to
ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CEN-
TER PROGRAMMINGin the Service Procedures
section of this group for more information on setting
the Service Interval.
For more information on the features, control func-
tions and setting procedures for the EVIC module,
see the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ELECTRONIC
VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER
If the problem with the Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC) is a temperature reading of 130É
F or -40ÉF shown in the compass/temperature dis-
play, refer toAmbient Temperature Sensor Diag-
nosis and Testingin this group. If the problem with
the EVIC is an inaccurate or scrambled display, refer
toSelf-Diagnostic Testin this group. If the prob-lem with the EVIC is incorrect Vacuum Fluorescent
Display (VFD) dimming levels, use a DRBtscan tool
and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual to test
for the correct dimming message inputs being
received from the Body Control Module (BCM) over
the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI)
data bus. If the problem is a no-display condition,
use the following procedures. For complete circuit
diagrams, refer toOverhead Consolein Wiring
Diagrams.
(1) Check the fused B(+) fuse in the junction block.
If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the shorted cir-
cuit or component as required and replace the faulty
fuse.
(2) Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) fuse
in the junction block. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK,
repair the open fused B(+) circuit to the fused B(+)
fuse in the PDC as required.
(3) Check the fused ignition switch output (run/
start) fuse in the junction block. If OK, go to Step 4.
If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component as
required and replace the faulty fuse.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch
output (run/start) fuse in the junction block. If OK,
go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the open fused ignition
switch output (run/start) circuit to the ignition switch
as required.
(5) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Remove the overhead console. Check for continuity
between the ground circuit cavity of the roof wire
harness connector for the EVIC module and a good
ground. There should be continuity. If OK, go to Step
6. If not OK, repair the open ground circuit to ground
as required.
(6) Connect the battery negative cable. Check for
battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit cavity of the
roof wire harness connector for the EVIC module. If
OK, go to Step 7. If not OK, repair the open fused
B(+) circuit to the fused B(+) fuse in the junction
block as required.
(7) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch
output (run/start) circuit cavity of the roof wire har-
ness connector for the EVIC module. If OK, refer to
Self-Diagnostic Testbelow for further diagnosis of
the EVIC module and the PCI data bus. If not OK,
repair the open fused ignition switch output (run/
start) circuit to the fuse in the junction block as
required.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TEST
A self-diagnostic test is used to determine that the
EVIC module is operating properly, and that all PCI
