Circuit/System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Pontiac G5 Pursuit, 2007 Pontiac G5, and 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the engine speed based on the engine speed data from the body control module (BCM). The ECM then sends the engine speed signal information via the GMLAN serial data circuit to the BCM. The BCM sends a GMLAN message to the IPC indicating the engine speed. The IPC displays the engine speed based on the GMLAN serial data message from the BCM.
