Circuit/System Testing
If there are multiple modules not original to the vehicle and are not new correctly configured service parts, SPS may not be able to proper read or recover the vehicle odometer value. Follow government rules and documentation (including vehicle identification) regarding inaccurate/unknown odometer values.
Perform circuit/system verification first.
Instrument Cluster is Showing "----" (Dashes)
Correcting VIN mismatch - odometer is still Inactive.
- Verify the vehicle odometer status with a scan tool. The reading should be Inactive.
- If the reading is Active
- If the reading is Inactive
- Using the scan tool, verify the BCM VIN matches the vehicle VIN placard.
- If the VIN does not match
Reprogram the BCM, then proceed to Step 3.
- If the VIN matches
- If the VIN does not match
- Using the scan tool, verify the instrument cluster VIN matches the vehicle VIN placard.
- If the VIN does not match
Reprogram the instrument cluster. Then proceed with step 4.
- If the VIN matches
- If the VIN does not match
- Ignition ON, verify the instrument cluster is displaying the correct value.
- If the instrument cluster is still displaying "----" (dashes)
Replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.
- If the instrument cluster is still displaying "----" (dashes)
Instrument Cluster is Showing "----" (Dashes)
Correcting VIN mismatch - odometer is Active.
- Verify the vehicle odometer status with a scan tool. The reading should be Inactive.
- If the reading is Inactive
- If the reading is Active
- Using the scan tool, verify the instrument cluster VIN matches the vehicle's VIN placard.
- If the VIN does not match
Reprogram the Instrument Cluster. Then proceed with step 3.
- If the VIN matches
- If the VIN does not match
- Perform the BCM setup procedure in SPS.
- Ignition ON, verify the instrument cluster is displaying the correct value.
- If the instrument cluster is still displaying "----" (dashes)
Replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.
- If instrument cluster is displaying the correct value
- If the instrument cluster is still displaying "----" (dashes)
- All OK.
