Electronic Vehicle Information Center

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Dodge Caliber. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: Do not place any external magnets, such as magnetic roof mount antennas, in the vicinity of the compass. Do not place any electronic devices (cell phones, laptop computers, PDAs, portable DVD players, etc), on or near the instrument panel as the Remote Compass Module (RCM) performance may be effected. Do not use magnetic tools when servicing the RCM.

The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) data is obtained from several components on the Controller Area Network (CAN) and Local Interface Network (LIN) Data Bus circuits. The EVIC will not function properly if the bus messages from any of these components is not received. If no EVIC data is displayed or the display indicates dashes "- -", check the CAN Data Bus circuit communications, the Instrument Cluster functions, the Remote Compass Module (RCM) and the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM).

The use of a scan tool and the proper diagnostic procedures information are recommended for further testing of the EVIC, the RCM, the CAN Data Bus and Local Interface Network (LIN) Data Bus circuits. Refer to the appropriate wiring information for complete circuit schematic or connector pin-out information.
