Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the driver information center (DIC) switch.
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 7 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, verify that all scan tool DIC Switch parameters are Inactive.
    • If any are not Inactive, test the signal circuit terminals listed below for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the IPC.
      • Information Down Switch Signal Circuit Terminal 3
      • Information Up Switch Signal Circuit Terminal 1
      • Options Switch Signal Circuit Terminal 5
      • Reset Switch Signal Terminal 6
  4. Ignition ON, install a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the DIC switch signal circuit terminals listed below and the ground circuit terminal 7. Verify that all scan tool DIC switch parameters are Active.
    • Information Down Switch Signal Circuit Terminal 3
    • Information Up Switch Signal Circuit Terminal 1
    • Options Switch Signal Circuit Terminal 5
    • Reset Switch Signal Terminal 6
    • If any are not Active, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the IPC.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the DIC switch.
