Circuit/System Description

The driver information switches are normally open momentary switches. Power is provided to the driver information center (DIC) switches via the instrument panel cluster (IPC) ignition 1 voltage circuit. The IPC ignition 1 voltage circuit is fused in the body control module (BCM). The IPC interfaces with the DIC switches via 3 discreet circuits. The switch input to the cluster is pulled low or grounded when a switch is activated. The IPC reads the voltage at the analog input to determine which switch(es) is pressed. The switch input to the cluster is set up in a resistor ladder format. The DIC switches include the PERSONALIZATION, SET/RESET, TRIP/FUEL, AND VEHICLE INFO switches.
