Pinpoint Test A: The IPC Is Inoperative

NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
  1. A1 VERIFY THE IPC PASSES THE NETWORK TEST 
    • Ignition ON.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Network Test.
    • In the LH pane of the Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) network test display screen, verify whether the IPC  passed the network test.

      Did the IPC pass the network test? 

  2. A2 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM THE IPC SELF-TEST 
    • Check for recorded DTCs from the IPC  self-test.

      Are any DTCs recorded? 

  3. A3 CHECK FOR CORRECT IPC OPERATION 
    • Disconnect the IPC  connector.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • damaged pins
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect the IPC  connector and make sure it seats correctly.
    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

      Is the concern still present? 

      • Yes  : INSTALL a new IPC  . REFER to INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER (IPC) . TEST the system for normal operation.
      • No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
