Component Tests and General Diagnostics: Diagnosis and Testing

DIAGNOSTIC SELF TEST
The Instrument Cluster is capable of performing a Diagnostic Self Test. This self test can be initiated manually by depressing and holding the trip reset button while cycling the ignition from the Off to the On position. The self test can also be activated using the DRB III. During the self test, all of the PCI bus indicators will be illuminated. The speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, coolant temperature gauge, and voltage gauge will position at their calibration points. The VF display will illuminate all segments and also display the software version. The chime will sound. When the self test is complete, the cluster will return to normal operation. Turning the ignition to the Off position or the cluster detecting engine speed greater than 0 (zero) rpm will stop the self test.
