Pinpoint Test A: The IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) Is Inoperative

A1 VERIFY THE IPC (INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER) 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?
1. Yes : GO to A2
2. No : REFER to: COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK .
A2 CARRY OUT THE IPC (INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER) SELF-TEST
- Using a scan tool, perform the IPC self-test.
- Check for recorded Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) from the IPC self-test.
Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded?
1. Yes : For DTC U0140:00, GO to PINPOINT TEST AF
  For all other Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), REFER to DTC CHART: IPC in this service information.
2. No : GO to A3
A3 CHECK FOR CORRECT IPC (INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER) OPERATION
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect and inspect the IPC connector.
- Repair:
  - corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
  - damaged or bent 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?
1. Yes : CHECK On-Line Automotive Service Information System (OASIS) for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new IPC .
  REFER to: INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER (IPC) .
2. 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.
