Odometer Trip/Reset Switch Inoperative

Odometer Trip/Reset Switch Inoperative

Diagnostic Instructions

* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (Diagnostic Procedure Instructions)provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

Circuit/System Description

The instrument cluster displays the travelled distance based on the information from the engine control module (ECM). The ECM converts the data from the vehicle speed sensor to a distance signal. The ECM sends the distance information via a High Speed CAN-Bus signal to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then sends the information via a Low Speed CAN-Bus signal to the instrument cluster to display the vehicle odometer and trip odometer. The instrument cluster detects the activation of the trip reset switch and a press and hold of the trip reset switch resets the trip odometer information to zero.

Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON, verify the odometer trip reset switch resets the trip odometer display when the switch is pressed.

If the odometer trip reset switch does not reset the trip odometer, replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.

Repair Instructions

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