Pinpoint Test C : The Speedometer Is Inoperative
- Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
See Speedometer. REFER to: Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) - System Operation and Component Description .
If the IPC operating voltage is above 16 volts or below 9 volts for one second or longer, the IPC defaults the speedometer to 0 km/h (0 mph)
If the BCM does not receive the vehicle speed message from the PCM, the BCM sets DTC U0100:00.
If the IPC does not receive the vehicle speed message from the BCM for longer than 2 seconds, the IPC sets DTC U0140:00 and defaults the speedometer to 0 km/h (0 mph).

NOTE: Make sure to set the diagnostic scan tool to 0 or full cold before beginning this step.
Select the IPC speedometer (SPDOMETER) PID.
- Command the speedometer on and off while monitoring the speedometer.
Does the speed begin at 0 km/h (0 mph), move to 193 km/h (120 mph) and return to 0 km/h (0 mph)?
Yes DIAGNOSE any PCM concerns. Refer to the appropriate Engine article for the procedure. No Refer to IPC Guided Routine Testing .
