Instrument Cluster Gauges Malfunction

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.

Verify the fuel level sensor is able to move through the entire range and does not stick at any pipe or wire.

1. Verify no DTC is set.

⇒	If any DTC is set, diagnose this first.

2. Ignition ON, perform the Instrument Cluster Gauge Sweep test with the scan tool, verify that all gauges sweep from their low to high position.

⇒	If any gauge does not sweep, replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.

3. Drive the vehicle, verify the gauge values matches the values on the scan tool.

⇒	If the values do not match, replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
