Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the driver information center (DIC) switch assembly.
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the ground reference circuit and ground.
    • If greater than 1 ohm, test the ground reference circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, verify that all scan tool DIC Switch parameters are Inactive.
    • If all DIC switch parameters are not Inactive, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the instrument panel cluster (IPC).
  4. Ignition ON, install a 3-Amp fused jumper wire between the signal circuit and the ground reference circuit. Verify that all scan tool DIC switch parameters are Active.
    • If 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.
