Pinpoint Test A: The Ic Is Inoperative

NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
NOTE: Failure to disconnect the battery when instructed will result in false resistance readings. Refer to BATTERY, BATTERY MOUNTING & BATTERY CABLES article.
  1. A1 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM THE IC SELF-TEST 
    • Check for recorded IC DTCs from the continuous self-test.
    • Is DTC U2472 recorded? 
  2. A2 CHECK THE IC B+ VOLTAGE SUPPLY 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: IC C220.
    • Measure the voltage between the IC C220-19, circuit SBP26 (YE/RD), harness side and ground.

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
      • Yes  : GO to A3.
      • No  : VERIFY the SJB fuse 26 (10A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR circuit SBP26 (YE/RD) for an open. If not OK, REFER to the SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article to identify the possible causes of the circuit short. TEST the system for normal operation.
  3. A3 CHECK THE IC GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: Negative Battery Cable.
    • Measure the resistance between the IC C220-9, circuit GD134 (BK/VT), harness side and ground.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
      • Yes  : GO to A4.
      • No  : REPAIR circuit GD134 (BK/VT) for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.
  4. A4 CHECK FOR CORRECT IC OPERATION 
    • Disconnect the IC connector.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • damaged pins
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect the IC connector and make sure it seats correctly.
    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
      • Yes  : INSTALL a new IC. REFER to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (IC) .. TEST the system for normal operation.
      • No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
