Review
Data to the instrument panel from modules of other subsystems are fed in the form of CAN·messages. The instrument panel identifies the signals and displays the corresponding message in the message center. Most messages are accompanied by a beep or series of beeps, which are requested by the module generating the message. The driver can view the current system status messages through the instrument panel software by pressing and holding the reset route data button for more than 3 seconds, then the information display will show the current messages in priority order. For more information, see the relevant section of the workshop manual.
Vehicle configuration file (CCF)
CAUTION: If a new instrument panel is to be installed, the instrument panel replacement procedure must be followed using an approved diagnostic system. This will ensure correct transmission of CCF data from the central electrical box (CJB) to the replacement instrument panel. If the vehicle is service modified from the original factory specification, the CCF will also require an update with an approved diagnostic system. This may include dealer installation of non-standard wheels and/or tires and optional accessory accessories with an electrical interface such as a parking distance control system.
The CCF contains all relevant data on the specification and sales condition of the respective vehicle, immobilization codes and driver personalization. This information is stored in the CJB, Engine Control Module (ECM) and instrument panel, allowing each system module to detect which systems and components are installed on the vehicle. Information is constantly transferred between these three modules of the system, providing continuous duplication of data between modules.
Inspection and verification
1. Make sure the customer's complaint is valid.
2. Confirm which, if any, warning lights and/or messages are lit/displayed on the instrument panel. For a list of messages, see the workshop manual section 413-08, "Message center".
3. Visually inspect for obvious electrical problems.
Electrical Factors |
4. If an obvious cause of a problem you identified or described by the customer is found, resolve it before proceeding to the next steps (if possible).
5. Use an approved diagnostic system or scan tool (tester), to retrieve all DTCs before accessing the DTC Index (DTC).
Clear all DTCs after troubleshooting.
DTC index
NOTE: Universal Scan Tools cannot read the listed codes or can only read 5-digit codes. Match the 5 digits from the scan tool with the first 5 digits of the listed 7 digit code to identify the problem (the last 2 digits give additional information read by the diagnostic system approved by the manufacturer).
