Speedometer Does Not Work
While moving, the speedometer does not work, or operates erratically. The speed signal comes from the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Module to the Body Control Module (BCM) via the CAN-C network and is then made available to Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) via the CAN-B network from the BCM gateway.

| Connect the diagnostic scan tool to read data from the BCM. Check on CAN network information: absence of non-active units. absence of control in error. absence of control unit CAN communication error. |
Continue to Step 2. | 1. The presence of anomalies on CAN network. 2. The presence of errors on the IPC. |
1. Proceed as indicated by the diagnostic tool. 2. Continue to Step 2. |
|
| 2. | CHECK WITH DIAGNOSTIC TOOL. | Result OK. | Result Not OK. | Action. |
| With the diagnostic scan tool still connected to the DLC, verify the absence of anomalies on the IPC. | Continue to Step 3. | Errors or failure to communicate with the diagnostic scan tool. | Proceed as indicated by the diagnostic tool. | |
| 3. | CHECK WITH DIAGNOSTIC TOOL. | Result OK. | Result Not OK. | Action. |
| With the diagnostic scan tool still connected to the DLC, check the functionality of the speedometer pointer by activating it with the scan tool. | Diagnostic complete. | Speedometer does not work. | Replace the IPC. |
