Driver Information Center (DIC) Switch(es) Inoperative

Diagnostic Fault Information

Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure. Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview

Circuit/System Description

The driver information center (DIC) monitors the signal circuit of the DIC switch assembly. The switch assembly contains two switches, a mode switch and a reset switch. The switches are considered on when depressed and off when released

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the DIC switch.
2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the ground circuit and ground

• If greater than 1 ohm, test the ground circuit for and open/high resistance.

3. Install a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the suspect switch signal circuit and ground. Verify the scan tool DIC Mode Button or DIC Reset Button parameter is On.

• If not On, test the suspect switch signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the IPC.

4. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the DIC switch.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure. Verification Tests

* Driver Information Display Switch Replacement (Rendezvous)
* Programming and Relearning for the PCM or IPC setup, and programming. Programming and Relearning
