No Response from Cluster






For a complete wiring diagram, refer to.






Test Step 1 - Test for Intermittent Condition

Turn the ignition on.

Ensure the IOD fuse is installed and battery voltage is between 10.0 and 16.0 volts.

With the scan tool, select ECU View.

A red X will be next to the module that is not communicating, indicating that the module is not active on the bus network. A green check indicates that the module is active on the bus network.

Does the scan tool display a red X next to the module?

Yes

Go to Test Step 2

No

The no response condition is not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires and the wiring harness connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, and corroded terminals.

Perform the Body Verification Test. Refer to => [ Body Verification Test ] Body Interior.

Test Step 2 - Fused B(+) Circuit Open or Shorted






Turn the ignition off.

Disconnect the cluster C1 and C2 harness connectors.

Using a 12 volt test lamp connected to ground, check each fused B(+) circuit.

Does the test lamp illuminate brightly for each circuit?

Yes

Go to Test Step 3

No

Repair the fused B(+) circuit for an open or short.

Perform the Body Verification Test. Refer to => [ Body Verification Test ] Body Interior.

Test Step 3 - Ground Circuit Open






Using a test lamp connected to 12 volts, check each ground circuit.

Does the test lamp illuminate brightly for each circuit?

Yes

Go to Test Step 4

No

Repair the ground circuit for an open.

Perform the Body Verification Test. Refer to => [ Body Verification Test ] Body Interior.

Test Step 4 - Fused ignition RUN/START Circuit Open or Shorted






Turn the ignition on.

Using a test lamp connected to ground, check the ignition switch RUN/START circuit.

Does the test lamp illuminate brightly?

Yes

Go to Test Step 5

No

Repair the ignition switch RUN/START circuit for an open or short.

Perform the Body Verification Test. Refer to => [ Body Verification Test ] Body Interior.

Test Step 5 - CAN C Interior Bus Circuit Open






Measure the resistance of the CAN C interior bus (-) 125K circuit between the TIPM C7 harness connector and the cluster C2 harness connector.

Measure the resistance of the CAN C interior bus (+) 125K circuit between the TIPM C7 harness connector and the cluster C2 harness connector.

Is the resistance less than 5.0 ohms on both circuits?

Yes

Replace the cluster.

Perform the Body Verification Test. Refer to => [ Body Verification Test ] Body Interior.

No

Repair the CAN C interior bus 125K circuit for an open. Inspect the connector for damage.
