Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The head-up display (HUD) image down or image up switch is used to vertically adjust the HUD image on the windshield to accommodate various vehicle operator heights. The HUD monitors the image down or image up switch signal circuit in order to adjust image positions. When the HUD image down or image up switch is depressed and the ignition is in the RUN position, the switch signal to the HUD is low.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the HUD switch.
2. Test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the HUD switch ground circuit terminal F and ground.

• If greater than 1.0 ohm, test the circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the image down switch signal circuit terminal K or the image up switch signal circuit terminal J and ground. Verify the scan tool Adjust Display Down Switch or the Adjust Display Up Switch parameter is Active.

• If not Active, test the suspect signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HUD.

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



Repair Instructions

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