Odometer Trip/Reset Switch Inoperative

Odometer Trip/Reset Switch Inoperative

Diagnostic Instructions

* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure. Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

Circuit/System Description

The instrument panel cluster (IPC) calculates the mileage based on the vehicle speed signal circuit from the powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM sends the vehicle speed information via high speed GMLAN serial data to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then sends the information via low speed GMLAN to the IPC indicating the value of the odometer. The odometer will display 'error' if an internal memory failure is detected. The odometer displays either miles or kilometers and the desired units can be accessed by pressing the trip/reset switch.

Circuit/System Testing

Ignition ON, press the trip reset button a few times to verify the odometer and trip odometer.

If the odometer display does not switch between trip and odometer, replace the IPC.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure. Verification Tests
