Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC): Notes

The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), which is located in the cluster, uses a vacuum fluorescent (VF) display to supply the vehicle operator with:

• compass heading.
• average fuel economy.
• distance to empty.
• distance to service.
• warning messages.
• customer programmable features
• service messages.
• memory system messages (when the vehicle is equipped with memory systems).

The EVIC also provides the interface to enable and disable vehicle programmable features when the vehicle is equipped with certain features.

The EVIC function buttons are labeled:

• US/M
• MENU
• STEP
• RESET

The EVIC sends and receives data over the PCI bus, communicating with the:

• Body Control Module (BCM).
  • The BCM supplies most of the information that the EVIC displays.
  • The EVIC receives all display requests, except for the internal compass function, over the PCI bus.
• Integrated Power Module (IPM).
  • Compass/Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC)
  • The EVIC receives Tire Pressure Monitoring System information from the CMTC. For complete information, refer to the 3.12.3.6 TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPM)  further in this section.
