The instrument panel cluster (IPC) uses the ignition 0 voltage circuit in order to supply voltage to various indicators and gages. The IPC also receives a serial data message from the serial data gateway module (SDGM) indicating the current power mode.
The ignition is ON.
The ignition 0 voltage circuit is less than 75 percent of battery voltage for more than 1 second.
• | The fuel gage, tachometer and speedometer default to 0. |
• | The scan tool does not communicate with the instrument cluster. |
• | The current DTC clears when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present. |
• | The history DTC clears after 100 malfunction free ignition cycles. |
• | When the instrument cluster detects low voltage at the ignition 0 voltage circuit, the instrument cluster will not communicate with the scan tool, and the fuel gage, tachometer and speedometer default to 0. |
• | DTC B1365 can only be read by the scan tool as a history code in the IPC once the fault is removed. |
• | This DTC cannot be retrieved with a current status. Refer to Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with Class 2 Device , for diagnosis of a loss of communication with the instrument cluster. |
• | An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by an open condition in the ignition 0 voltage circuit. Refer to Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with Class 2 Device , in order to isolate an intermittent condition. |
