Pinpoint Test I: The Odometer Is Inoperative

Normal Operation 

The odometer is displayed in the message center vacuum fluorescent display area of the instrument cluster (IC). The instrument cluster (IC) receives the rolling count data from the PCM over the high speed controller area network (HS-CAN) communication bus.

If the instrument cluster (IC) rolling count data is missing for less than 5 seconds or invalid for less than 2 seconds, the instrument cluster (IC) displays the last known total odometer or trip odometer mileage. If the instrument cluster (IC) does not receive the rolling count data from the PCM for 5 seconds or invalid for 2 seconds, the instrument cluster (IC) defaults the odometer to dashes (-----) and sets DTC U0100 and defaults the speedometer to 0 km/h (0 mph).

NOTE: If DTC U0100 is set in the instrument cluster (IC), other observable symptoms may be an inoperative speedometer, temperature gauge or tachometer.

The instrument cluster (IC) sets DTC B2143 in continuous memory and on-demand if the instrument cluster (IC) non-volatile memory (NVM) is corrupted. If the instrument cluster (IC) determines the NVM to be corrupt, the instrument cluster (IC) sets DTC B2143 and displays ERROR in the message center (message center cluster) or the integrated circuit display (base cluster) area.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

PINPOINT TEST I: THE ODOMETER IS INOPERATIVE 

  1. I1 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM BOTH THE CONTINUOUS AND ON-DEMAND PCM SELF-TESTS 
    • Check for recorded PCM DTCs from the continuous and on-demand self-tests.
    • Are any PCM DTCs recorded? 
    1. YES  : REFER to the Introduction - Gasoline Engines article.
    2. NO  : Go to  I2.
  2. I2 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM BOTH THE CONTINUOUS AND ON-DEMAND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (IC) SELF-TESTS 
    • Check for recorded instrument cluster (IC) DTCs from the continuous and on-demand self-tests.
    • Is DTC U0100 recorded? 
    1. YES  : Go to Pinpoint Test AG  .
    2. NO  : Go to  I3.
  3. I3 CHECK FOR CORRECT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (IC) OPERATION 
    • Disconnect the instrument cluster (IC) connector.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • damaged pins
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect the instrument cluster (IC) connector and make sure it seats correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    1. YES  : INSTALL a new instrument cluster (IC). REFER to Instrument Cluster (IC) . TEST the system for normal operation.
    2. NO  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
