Certain instrument panel cluster (IPC) features are tested when the ignition is turned on in order to verify the features are working properly. The following indicators illuminate briefly at key up unless otherwise noted:

Refer to Indicator/Warning Message Description and Operation .

The IPC displays the engine coolant temperature as determined by the PCM. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the PCM indicating the engine coolant temperature. The engine coolant temperature gage defaults to C or below if:

The IPC displays the fuel level as determined by the PCM. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the PCM indicating the fuel level percent. The fuel gage defaults to empty if:

When the fuel level is less than 14% (74ohms), the low fuel indicator illuminates.

The IPC contains a season odometer and a trip odometer. Momentarily press the TRIP ODO switch in order to toggle between the season odometer and the trip odometer. Press the TRIP RESET switch for greater than 2 seconds, while the trip odometer is displayed, in order to reset the trip odometer. The IPC calculates the mileage based on the class 2 vehicle speed message from the PCM. The odometer will display 'error' if an internal IPC memory failure is detected.

The IPC displays the selected gear position as determined by the PCM. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the PCM indicating the gear position. The PRNDL display blanks if:

The IPC displays the vehicle speed based on the information from the PCM. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the PCM indicating the vehicle speed. The speedometer defaults to 0 kph (0 mph) if:

The IPC displays the engine speed as determined by the PCM. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the PCM indicating the engine speed. The tachometer will default to 0 rpm if:
