Initial Inspection - Instrument Panel Illumination

INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION

NOTE: The instrument cluster, rear electronic module (REM) and front electronic module (FEM) must be reconfigured upon installation. Refer to Information Bus (Module Communications Network).

1. Verify the customer concern

Visual Inspection Chart:

2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.
3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
4. If the cause is not visually evident, connect the diagnostic tool to the data link connector and select the vehicle to be tested from the diagnostic tool menu. If the diagnostic tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
- check that the program card is correctly installed.
- check the connections to the vehicle.
- check the ignition switch position.

5. If the diagnostic tool still does not communicate with the vehicle, refer to the diagnostic tool operating manual.
6. Carry out the diagnostic tool data link test. If the diagnostic tool responds with:
- SCP+ or SCP- circuit fault; all electronic control units no response/not equipped, refer to Information Bus (Module Communications Network).
- No response/not equipped for front electronic module (FEM), refer to Information Bus (Module Communications Network).
- No response/not equipped for rear electronic module (REM), refer to Information Bus (Module Communications Network).
- No response/not equipped for instrument cluster, GO to Pinpoint Test F. Test F
- System passed, retrieve and record the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), erase the continuous DTCs and carry out self-test diagnostics for the instrument cluster or front electronic module (FEM).

7. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to the Instrument Cluster or FEM Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index to continue diagnostics. Trouble Code Diagnostic Charts - Instrument Panel Illumination Front Electronic Module (FEM) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index
8. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, GO to Symptom Chart to continue diagnostics. Diagnosis By Symptom - Instrument Panel Illumination
