Pinpoint Test C : The Hybrid Virtual Power Gauge Is Inoperative
- 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.

NOTE: The IPC and message center navigation can be found in the Owner's Literature.
Using the message center controls, make sure the IPC is set to display the gauge in question.
Is the IPC set to display the gauge?
Yes GO to C2 No The virtual gauge is operating correctly. The IPC was not set to display the gauge in question. - C2 PERFORM THE IPC (INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER) SELF-TEST
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the IPC self-test.
- Check for recorded Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded?
Yes REFER to the DTC Chart: IPC . No GO to C3 - C3 PERFORM THE SOBDMC (SECONDARY ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC CONTROL MODULE C) SELF-TEST
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the SOBDMC self-test.
- Check for recorded Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded?
Yes Refer to ENGINE CONTROLS - INTRODUCTION (EXCEPT DIESEL & HYBRID) or ENGINE CONTROLS - INTRODUCTION (HYBRID) . No GO to C4 - C4 CHECK THE GWM (GATEWAY MODULE A) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, check the GWM Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded?
Yes REFER to: Communications Network . No Refer to IPC Guided Routine Testing .
