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 traveled distance based on the information from the engine control module (ECM). The ECM converts the data from the vehicle speed sensor to a distance signal. The ECM sends the distance information 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 odometer and trip odometer. The instrument cluster detects activation of the trip reset switch. The trip meter's information is reset to zero by holding down the trip reset switch.
