Upshift Indicator
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 GMC Sierra, 2008 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2008 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2008 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) illuminates the upshift indicator when the powertrain control module (PCM) determines that the vehicle should be shifted to the next higher gear. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the PCM requesting illumination.
