Diagnostic Aids
The DIC displays dashes (- -) when there is a fault in the class 2 serial data circuit. This occurs only during the following modes:
- Average Fuel Economy
- Average Speed
- Fuel Used
- Instant Fuel Economy
- Trip Range
The compass display and the temperature display still operate normally when there is a fault in the class 2 serial data circuit. In this case refer to Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with Class 2 Device in Data Link Communications for diagnosis.
