Pinpoint Test C : The Hybrid Virtual Power Gauge Is Inoperative

  1. Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

    See Power Gauge. REFER to: Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) - System Operation and Component Description .

    For the HEV, the power gauge replaces the tachometer in the IPC when the driver selects to display the gauge. The tachometer is then displayed as an information on-demand display in the message center.

    If the power regeneration average display message is missing for less than 5 seconds, the IPC defaults the data displayed in the power gauge to the last indication state, based upon the last message received.

    If the power regeneration average display message is missing for 5 seconds or longer, the IPC defaults the data displayed in the power gauge to 0.
