PINPOINT TEST AE: THE INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DISPLAY IS INOPERATIVE


Test AE1-AE5:






Test AE5-AE7:






Normal Operation
The integrated circuit display contains the odometer, trip odometer, outside air temperature and compass display on base clusters and the message center display on message center clusters. The compass module is hardwired to the instrument cluster through circuits 702 (WH/BK) and 703 (WH/OG), the outside air temperature sensor is hardwired to the instrument cluster through circuits 233 (DB/YE) and 234 (DB/WH). The odometer and trip odometer information is transmitted from the powertrain control module (PCM) through the CAN circuits to the instrument cluster.

Possible Causes
- 233 (DB/YE) open or short to ground
- 234 (DB/WH) open or short to ground
- outside air temperature sensor
- instrument cluster
