Circuit/System Description

The instrument cluster provides the ambient air temperature sensor with a low reference circuit and 5 V signal circuit. The instrument cluster monitors the voltage drop across the sensor, which is proportional to temperature. When the ambient air temperatures are cold, the resistance of the sensor is high and the voltage signals are high. When the ambient air temperatures are hot, the resistance of the sensors is low and the voltage signals are low. The instrument cluster converts the voltage value to a temperature value of Celsius or Fahrenheit that will be displayed by the driver information center.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The system voltage is between 9-16 V

B0158 02

The instrument cluster detects the sensor signal circuit is greater than 88°C (190°F).

B0158 05

The instrument cluster detects the sensor signal circuit is less than -40°C (-40°F).

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The instrument cluster uses a default air temperature value for further calculations. The driver information center displays ---°C ( ---°F).

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The DTC will become history if the instrument cluster no longer detects a malfunction.

1. Fuel Gauge Inoperative

The primary fuel level sensor and the secondary fuel level sensor change resistance based on fuel level. The engine control module (ECM) monitors the signal circuits of the primary fuel level sensor and the secondary fuel level sensor in order to determine the fuel level. When the fuel tank is full, the resistances of both fuel level sensors are low and the ECM senses a low signal voltage on both the signal circuits of the primary fuel level sensor and the secondary fuel level sensor. When the fuel tank is empty, the resistances of the fuel level sensors are high and the ECM senses a high signal voltage. The ECM uses the signal circuits of the primary fuel level sensor and the secondary fuel level sensor in order to calculate the percentage of remaining fuel in the tank. The ECM sends the fuel level percentage via High Speed CAN-Bus to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then sends the fuel level percentage via Low Speed CAN-Bus to the instrument cluster in order to control the fuel gauge.

ECM - Engine Oil Pressure Switch

The engine oil pressure switch is a normally closed switch that opens with the proper oil pressure. With the ignition switch turned ON and the engine not running, the engine control module (ECM) should detect a low signal voltage input. With the engine running, the engine oil pressure switch opens and the ECM should detect a high signal voltage input. When the oil pressure is low, the ECM sends a message via High Speed CAN-Bus to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then sends a message via Low Speed CAN-Bus to the instrument cluster requesting the engine oil pressure indicator turned ON.

The engine is running.

  1. The ECM detects that the engine oil pressure switch signal circuit is pulled low.
  2. The above condition is present for greater than 10 seconds.

The instrument cluster illuminates the service vehicle soon indicator and the oil pressure low indicator.

The DTC becomes history when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present.

The engine oil pressure sensor changes voltage based on the engine oil pressure. The engine oil pressure sensor is a 3-wire sensor comprised of the signal circuit, the low reference circuit and the 5 V reference circuit. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 V to the engine oil pressure sensor via the 5 V reference circuit and provides ground via the engine oil pressure sensor low reference circuit. The ECM monitors the signal circuit of the engine oil pressure sensor to determine the engine oil pressure sensor voltage is within the normal operating range of approximately 1-4 V. When the engine oil pressure is high, the engine oil pressure sensor voltage is high and the sensor senses a high signal voltage. When the engine oil pressure is low, the engine oil pressure sensor voltage is low and the ECM senses a low signal voltage. The ECM sends the engine oil pressure sensor information via High Speed CAN-Bus to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then sends the engine oil pressure sensor information via Low Speed CAN-Bus to the instrument cluster.

The engine is running

P0521

  1. The engine oil pressure is out of its working range.
  2. The ECM does not detect a change in the engine oil pressure.

  2. The above condition is present for greater than 10 seconds.

P0523

  1. The ECM detects a short to voltage or an open circuit in the engine oil pressure signal circuit.
  2. The above condition is present for greater than 10 seconds.

The instrument cluster illuminates the service vehicle soon indicator.

The engine control module (ECM) uses the generator turn ON signal circuit to control the load of the generator on the engine. A high side driver in the ECM applies voltage to the voltage regulator. This signals the voltage regulator to turn the field circuit ON and OFF. The ECM monitors the state of the generator turn ON signal circuit. The ECM should detect low voltage on the generator turn on signal circuit when the ignition is ON and the engine is OFF, or when the charging system malfunctions. With the engine running, the ECM should detect high voltage on the generator turn on signal circuit. The ECM performs key ON and RUN tests to determine the status of the generator turn on signal circuit. If a malfunction is detected the ECM will illuminate the charge indicator in the instrument cluster.

The driver information center switch is a multiplexed switch. Battery power is provided to the driver information center switch via the instrument panel cluster. The driver information center switch signal circuit is pulled up to battery voltage in the instrument panel cluster. The instrument cluster also provides the driver information center switch with a low reference. The switch input to the instrument cluster is pulled low when a switch is activated. The driver information center switch is a momentary contact switch that connects a series of resistors in a resistor ladder format. The instrument cluster monitors the driver information center switch signal circuit to determine the driver information center switch inputs. Each switch state - Menu, UP, DOWN - corresponds to a certain resistance value. The instrument cluster determines the switch pressed by the voltage drop across the resistors.

1. Engine Oil Pressure Indicator Malfunction

The engine oil pressure switch is a normally closed switch that opens with the proper oil pressure. With the ignition switch turned ON and the engine not running, the engine control module (ECM) should detect a low signal voltage input. With the engine running, the engine oil pressure switch opens and the ECM should detect a high signal voltage input. When the oil pressure is low, the ECM sends a message via High Speed CAN-Bus to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then sends a message via Low Speed CAN-Bus to the instrument cluster requesting the engine oil pressure indicator turned ON.

The instrument cluster monitors the ambient air temperature sensor with a low reference circuit and 5 V signal circuit. The instrument cluster monitors the voltage drop across the sensor, which is proportional to temperature. When the ambient air temperatures are cold, the resistance of the sensor is high and the voltage signals are high. When the ambient air temperatures are hot, the resistance of the sensors is low and the voltage signals are low. The instrument cluster converts the voltage value to a temperature value of Celsius or Fahrenheit that will be displayed by the display.

The instrument cluster displays the engine coolant temperature, fuel level, vehicle speed and the engine speed based on the information from the engine control module (ECM). The ECM sends 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 engine coolant temperature, fuel level, the engine speed, the vehicle speed and the distance travelled, either in kilometers or miles, based on the vehicle requirements. The instrument cluster will display dashes when its VIN does not match the VIN received from the BCM.

Diagnostic Aids

If the VIN mismatch is corrected the odometer will once again be displayed in the instrument cluster. If the vehicle is driven for a calibrated distance with a VIN mismatch, it will cause the instrument cluster odometer to enter into an error mode and lock itself. When this occurs the dashes will remain on the display even after correcting the VIN mismatch. The vehicle odometer status data display on the scan tool can be used to identify a locked odometer. The only way to unlock the instrument cluster (clear the dashes from the display) is to perform an SPS programming event. Failure to follow the diagnostic and programming procedures may result in either an improper odometer value or a module replacement.

Audible Warnings Description and Operation

The audible warnings alert the driver of a system concern or a critical vehicle condition. The radio generates the audible warnings through the speakers. The radio receives audible warning requests via the serial data circuit. If the radio receives multiple audible warning requests, the warning with the highest priority sounds first. On vehicles without a radio, a chime module generates the audible warnings and receives audible warning requests via the serial data circuit.

Trip Display

Fuel Range

This message indicates the estimated distance that the vehicle can travel under the current fuel economy and fuel level conditions since the last battery connection to the instrument cluster. Fuel Range is calculated using the equation: Fuel Range = Range Distance/Range Fuel Used.

  1. Range Distance = The accumulated distance travelled since the last reset of this value.
  2. Fuel Used = The accumulated fuel delivered since the last reset of this value.

The engine control module (ECM) sends the fuel range value to the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster receives a GMLAN message with fuel information. The fuel range value is retained during ignition OFF and can be changed between Europe-SI, USA and GB units by accessing the driver information center Units menu. The Fuel Range display cannot be reset. LOW is displayed when fuel range is below a predetermined value.

Average Fuel Economy

Average fuel economy is calculated using the equation: Average Fuel Economy = Distance/Fuel.

  1. Distance = The accumulated distance travelled since the last reset of this value.
  2. Fuel = The accumulated fuel consumption since the last reset of this value.

The ECM sends the average fuel economy GMLAN message to the instrument cluster. The value of this mode is retained during ignition OFF and can be changed between English units and metric units by selecting from the driver information center options menu.

Instantaneous Fuel Economy

The ECM sends the instantaneous fuel economy GMLAN message to the instrument cluster. The value of this mode can be changed between English units and metric units by selecting from the driver information center options menu.

Average Vehicle Speed

Average speed is calculated using the equation: Average Speed = Average Speed Distance/Average Speed Time.

  1. Distance = The accumulated distance travelled since the last reset of this value.
  2. Ignition ON = The accumulated ignition on time since the last reset of this value.

Timer

The timer records elapsed time starting from activation. When the driver information center displays the timer, pressing the Set/Reset switch for longer than 1 s the driver information center resets the timer. Pressing the Set/Reset button on the driver information center switch for approximately 1 s starts and stops the timer. The driver information center displays the timer in one of the following formats

The driver information center displays the timer in the following format: XX:XX:XX.

The first XX represents hours elapsed, the second XX represents minutes elapsed, and the third XX represents seconds elapsed. The maximum range of the timer is 99 h, 59 min, and 59 s. After the maximum range is reached, the timer displays zeros in all positions. (00:00:00).

Outside Air Temperature

The outside air temperature can be accessed through the driver information center Trip/Fuel switch function. The driver information center shows the outside air temperature as a damped value. The time and rate of the temperature update is based on an algorithm in the instrument cluster. Factors such as last temperature reading, current temperature reading, length of time the vehicle was off, current vehicle speed, and the distance driven effect when the displayed temperature is updated. To get the vehicle to display the most accurate temperature faster, drive the vehicle. Constant moving traffic will update the display to the correct temperature more quickly than stop and go traffic.

Units Menu

The unit mode is used to toggle between Europe-SI, USA and GB units and can be accessed through the driver information center Menu switch and the driver information center Set/Reset switch.

Tire Pressure Monitor

The instrument cluster receives a GMLAN message from the tire pressure monitoring system for front and rear tire pressure data. The driver information center will display the pressure for each of the front and rear tires. When a tire with low air pressure is present, the driver information center displays a warning, CHECK XX TIRE PRESSURE.

Oil Life Remaining

The ECM sends the oil life remaining percentage to the instrument cluster via a GMLAN message. The instrument panel cluster receives a GMLAN message indicating the engine oil life remaining. The driver information center displays the current percentage of the GM Oil Life System as determined by the ECM. When the oil life remaining percentage drops below 5%, the driver information center displays CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON. When the engine oil is changed, reset the GM Oil Life System. Refer to GM Oil Life System Resetting .

Odometer

The instrument cluster displays the vehicle odometer in the driver information center. The ECM send a distance rolling count message on GMLAN to the body control module (BCM). The BCM uses this information to calculate the vehicle odometer. This odometer value is then sent to the instrument cluster on GMLAN. The instrument cluster does not calculate the odometer. The odometer displays miles or kilometers as selected in the Units menu.

The odometer value is stored in multiple modules. The instrument cluster is a secondary storage module for the odometer, while the BCM is the primary storage and accumulator.

In addition to storing the odometer value for the vehicle, the instrument cluster and the BCM store the VIN. Software checks are performed to ensure these modules, and their stored odometer information, can not be move or transferred between different vehicles.

If the VINs do not match, the instrument cluster will go into an error mode and display "----" (dashes). If the VIN mismatch exists over a calibrated distance, the instrument cluster will "lock" the odometer display and only show dashes, even if the VIN mismatch is subsequently correct. The only way to clear or "unlock" the instrument cluster is to perform a BCM programming event using SPS.

Gear Indication

If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission the driver information center displays the actual gear. The instrument cluster receives a GMLAN message with actual gear information from the automatic transmission module.

Park Assist Menu

If the parallel parking assistant is activate, the parallel parking assist menu is displayed in the driver information center. The driver information center displays the current state of the parallel parking assist until the instrument cluster receives a message indicating otherwise.

Language

The driver information center is capable of displaying in different languages, corresponding to the radio language settings. The instrument cluster receives a GMLAN message with language information from the radio.
