Test A: No Communication With Instrument Cluster

  1. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect instrument cluster 18-pin harness connector C220c. See Figure for location. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Measure voltage between ground and instrument cluster harness connector C220c terminals No. 2 (Red/Yellow wire), No. 3 (Black/Pink wire) and No. 4 (Orange/Light Green wire). See Fig 1 . If all voltages are 10 volts or more, go to next step. If any voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open in appropriate wire.
  2. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Measure resistance between ground and instrument cluster harness connector C220c terminals No. 1 (Black/White wire) and No. 18 (Black wire). If both resistances are less than 5 ohms, repair module communications concern. See MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - ESCAPE article. If either resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Black/White wire or Black wire.
