Odometer Trip/Reset Switch Inoperative

Diagnostic Instructions


• Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.

• Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.

• Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.


Circuit/System Description

The instrument cluster displays the distance traveled based on the information from the engine control module (ECM). The ECM converts the data from the speed sensor to a distance signal. The ECM sends the distance information signal via a High Speed CAN-Bus signal to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then sends the information via a Low Speed CAN-Bus signal to the instrument cluster to display the vehicle's odometer and trip meter. The instrument cluster detects the activation of the trip reset switch. Pressing and holding of the trip reset switch resets the trip odometer information to zero.
