Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) Description and Operation: Odometer

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 GMC Sierra, 2004 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2004 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2004 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The IPC contains a season odometer, a trip odometer and a hourmeter. Momentarily press the trip/reset switch on the IPC in order to toggle between the season odometer, the trip odometer, and the hourmeter. Press the trip/reset switch for greater than 1 second, while the trip odometer is displayed, in order to reset the trip odometer. For vehicles with steering controls, the Personal Trip On/Off (Business Trip On/Off) must be turned On in order for the trip odometer to accumulate. When the Personal Trip On/Off (Business Trip On/Off) parameter is displayed and the select button is pressed on the steering wheel, the On/Off state of the Personal Trip (Business Trip) shall be changed to the opposite state. The IPC displays the vehicle mileage and trip mileage as determined by the IPC. The IPC calculates the mileage based on the vehicle speed signal circuit from the PCM. The odometer will display 'error' if an internal IPC memory failure is detected. The odometer can be configured to display either miles or kilometers.
