Pinpoint Test A: The IPC Is Inoperative

  1. A1 VERIFY THE IPC PASSES THE NETWORK TEST 
    • Ignition ON.
    • Using a scan tool, perform a network test.
    • Verify whether the IPC passed the network test.
    • Did the IPC pass the network test? 
  2. A2 CARRY OUT THE IPC SELF-TEST 
    • Using a scan tool, perform the IPC self-test.
    • Check for recorded DTCs from the IPC self-test.
    • Are any DTCs recorded? 
  3. A3 CHECK FOR CORRECT IPC OPERATION 
    • Disconnect and inspect the IPC connector.
    • Repair:
      • corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged pins - install new terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
    • Reconnect the IPC connector. Make sure it seats and latches correctly.
    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    • Yes  : CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSBs. If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions.

      If no TSBs address this concern, INSTALL a new IPC. REFER to INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER (IPC) .

    • No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
