Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Cadillac ATS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The instrument cluster can communicate with other devices on a Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) bus. Some of the other devices may be connected to a USB port. This allows programming of the instrument cluster using a USB device via the MOST bus. Software checks are performed to ensure the internal MOST circuitry is operating properly.
