1 General Information
This document contains information on the operation, diagnosis, self testing and programming of the instrument clusters.
Should it be necessary to electric weld on a
vehicle, removal of the instrument cluster is
mandatory. Failure to do so will result in
damage to the instrument gauge circuitry.
NOTE
If the battery is disconnected, the following
accumulative values are reset:
• Trip time
• Trip distance
• Fuel used
• Average fuel
• Average speed
• Stop watch (if enabled and displaying a non
zero figure)
1.1 General Description – Instrument Cluster
Three versions of instrument cluster assemblies are fitted to MY 2005/2006 VZ Series vehicles. Two with a single
window multi-function display (MFD) and the other with a triple window display, the centre window being the MFD.
A trip computer is standard equipment on all vehicles; refer to the following for an explanation of trip computer functions
refer to 1.7 Trip Computer – Single Window Cluster or 1.8 Trip Computer – Triple Window Cluster.
The instrument clusters fitted to all vehicles have a multi function display (MFD), which displays messages from various
vehicle systems including the engine, transmission, ABS and entertainment system. The MFD supplements the warning
indicators by displaying a more precise message; all clusters feature a number of warning indicators of different colours
that are illuminated by LED’s. For further information, refer to 1.4 Instrument Cluster Operation – All Models.
The speedometer indicates up to 250 km/h on all models except the SS, Coupe and AWD which indicates speeds up to
260 km/h, The Coupe features two analogue gauges mounted in their own binnacle which is situated above the centre air
vent; the left-hand gauge monitors battery voltage while the right-hand gauge monitors the engines oil pressure.
Communication protocol between the instrument cluster and the BCM is via the secondary UART bus.
On all vehicles, the clock is incorporated into the multi-function display situated above the radio mounting location.
Instrument cluster illumination is by light emitting diodes (LED’s) within the instrument cluster. The LED’s are not
serviceable and should any of them fail the instrument cluster needs to be replaced.
NOTE
• A difference of ±2 km/h may be noticed when
comparing the analogue speedometer with
the digital MFD reading, this is normal and
within design specifications.
• Only left-hand drive vehicles have the
instrument cluster’s door ajar indicator
activated.

1.2 Instrument Cluster Illumination
The headlamp switch incorporates a variable intensity instrument cluster illumination control (slider), and a four-position
switch for off, parking, headlamps on and auto headlamps on switch mode. In auto headlamps on mode, the instrument
cluster illumination is dependant upon whether the lights are on or off.
With the headlamp switch in the OFF position, the MFD illumination (or the trip computer windows if fitted) are set to
maximum backlighting. In any of the other positions, the MFD illumination (or trip computer windows) are controlled by
the illumination slider on the headlight switch.
The slider on the headlamp switch controls the dial, pointer and MFD illumination. Moving the slider varies an input
voltage to the body control module (BCM), which in turn sends an illumination level signal to the instrument cluster via the
serial data communications bus. The instrument cluster interprets the illumination level signal and controls the instrument
clusters illumination level accordingly, refer to Section 12J Body Control Module.
Chimes
An audible warning chime is incorporated in the instrument cluster. This feature is used to emphasise the warning
conditions with the tone and repetition rate of the chime being variable for the warning messages.
Instrumentation Page 12C – 16
Page 12C – 16
1.3 General Description – Auxiliary Gauges
Where fitted, the auxiliary gauges are assembled to a
binnacle, which is mounted above the air vents at the top of
the centre facia. The left-hand gauge displays battery
voltage from 8 to 16 Volts and the right-hand gauge displays
engine oil pressure from 100 to 500 KPa.
The oil pressure gauge receives serial data from the ECM
(V6 and GEN IV V8) or the PCM (GEN III V8), via the PIM
and the BCM.
The voltage gauge monitors the battery voltage using an
internal microprocessor and associated circuitry.
The auxiliary gauge assembly illumination is by light emitting
diodes (LED’s) within the gauge housing. The LED’s are not
serviceable and should any of them fail the gauge assembly
needs to be replaced.

Traction Control or Electronic Stability Program
Traction Control Description
The traction control system (TCS) helps prevent the driving wheels from spinning irrespective of the road conditions and
tyre grip. Once one driving wheel commences to spin, the TCS system reduces the power from the engine and applies
the brake to the spinning wheel, as necessary.
Electronic Control Description (if fitted)
The electronic stability program (ESP) is an advanced feature that works in conjunction with the vehicle’s anti-lock
braking system (ABS), Traction Control System (TCS) and electronic brake assist system (EBA). The ESP system
assists in maintaining the vehicle’s stability by providing intervention when the vehicle’s grip level is exceeded (such as a
sudden lane change, slippery or unexpected road conditions). Refer to Section 5B for further information.

4 Diagnostics
The diagnostic system check is a preliminary procedure that checks to ensure the instrument cluster is communicating on
the serial data bus as well as helping identify any internal or external problem.
Fault diagnosis for the instrument cluster is divided into two areas; faults which can be remedied by checking the
operation of components connected to the instrument cluster and those which can be checked by using Tech 2.
The instrument cluster can provide a preliminary indication that there is a fault either on the serial data bus, within the
instrument cluster or the BCM. When the instrument cluster does not receive a valid or complete serial data message for
10 seconds, the MFD shows the message 'Service Error – Contact Dealer'. This error message indicates a short circuit
on the serial data bus, an open circuit to the instrument cluster or a fault within the instrument cluster. Pressing the
MODE button on the trip computer switch clears the error message. In this instance, the icon ⌧ is shown in the left-hand
side of the MFD. If the fault is associated with the fuel sender, the message displayed is 'Fuel Sender Error – Contact
Dealer', and the symbol is displayed on the left-hand side of the MFD.
Additionally, when a fault is detected, the instrument cluster sets a Diagnostic Tr ouble Code (DTC) that represents that
particular problem or failure.
The following tables are designed to provide fast and efficient fault location of the instrument cluster. Each diagnostic
reference consists of a diagnostic table and pertinent information including Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) setting
parameters and, in most tables, reference to circuit diagrams.
When carrying out wiring checks as directed by the diagnostic tables, rather than probe terminals and connectors with
incorrect sized multimeter connections, use the adaptors contained in connector test adaptor kit J35616-C (KM-609), as
shown in the following illustration. This will prevent any possibility of spreading or damaging wiring harness terminals,
which may later cause a system intermittent failure.
Figure 12C – 267
4.1 Diagnostic System Check
Circuit Description
When investigating any complaint of an instrument cluster problem or malfunction, always begin diagnosis with the
following Diagnostic System Check. This check is a preliminary procedure that ensures that the instrument cluster is
powered up, communicating on the serial data line, helping to identify a problem or malfunction, and directing the
technician to the appropriate diagnostic table.
With Tech 2 connected to the DLC and the ignition switched on, Tech 2 should display serial data communication. If
Tech 2 does not display serial data, the serial data circuit may be open or shorted.
The entertainment system and several other control modules are connected to the serial data line. The control modules
are the ECM, PCM, PIM, BCM, ABS or ABS / TCS, OCC and SRS. The entertainment system or any one of the control
modules could cause a fault on the serial data line. This fault could result in Tech 2 not being able to display serial data.

Test Description
3-4 Checks the operation of the indicators.
5 Checks the relevant fuses.
6-8 Checks the wiring harness serviceability.
9-10 Using Tech 2 to check for and clear set DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
• By manipulating the harnesses at the various connectors, it is often possible to isolate the cause of the circuit
interruption. This harness can then be removed and repaired.
• Check for any damage to the harness, which could cause an intermittent open or short to ground or backed out
terminals at the instrument cluster connector, broken connector locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals.
• For wiring diagrams and connector charts, refer to 3 Wiring Diagrams and Connectors.

5 Diagnostic Trouble Codes
General Information
There are two types of DTC, current and history.
A Current DTC is active only for the period that the fault is present and is indicated by the icon/message on the
instrument cluster. When the fault is cleared, the Current DTC and the icon / message are also cleared.
The History DTC is set at the same time as the Current DTC, and is stored in memory within the instrument cluster to
provide information on vehicle system operation over a period of time. History DTC are read and cleared from memory by
Tech 2.
Each DTC presented on the instrument cluster screen is allocated a number from 0 to 31. The following table provides
details on each of these DTCs.

5.3 DTC 7 – No Serial Data from ABS / TCS /
ESP – V6
Circuit Description
The ABS (or ABS / TCS / ESP) module sends serial data along the GMLAN data bus, circuits 2500 and 2501 to the PIM,
which converts the data to UART protocol. It is then sent to the BCM via the primary UART bus (circuit 800) then to the
instrument cluster via the secondary UART bus (circuit1061) to indicate the status of the traction control. If traction
control has been disabled by the ABS / TCS / ESP module, the Traction Control Off warning will appear on the
instrument cluster MFD.
DTC 8 will set if there is no ABS data message on the bus for more than 10 seconds. In practice, the trouble code is set
somewhere between 10 and 20 seconds after the instrument cluster receives the last ABS data message. The DTC is
reset within 10 seconds of the arrival of an ABS data message on the bus. The DTC is logged as a History DTC.
Refer to 3 Wiring Diagrams and Connectors to aid in diagnosis.
Test Description
The following numbers refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic table:

When investigating any complaint of an instrument cluster problem or malfunction, always begin diagnosis with the
Diagnostic System Check. This check is a preliminary procedure that checks that the instrument cluster is powered up,
communicating on the serial data line, helping to identify a problem or malfunction and directing the reader to the
appropriate diagnostic table.
With Tech 2 connected to the DLC and ignition switched on, Tech 2 should display serial data communication. If Tech 2
does not display serial data, the serial data circuit maybe open or shorted.
Several other control modules are connected to the UART serial data lines:
Module Data Bus Allocations for V6 and V8
The primary UART bus is connected to the PIM and the DLC connector.
The secondary UART bus is connected to all other modules in the vehicle except the SDM, which connects to the tertiary
UART bus.
Any of these control modules could cause a fault on the serial data line. This fault could result in Tech 2 not being able to
display serial data.
DTC 14 will set if there is no serial data message on the serial data bus for more than 10 seconds. In practice, the trouble
code is set somewhere between 10 and 20 seconds after the instrument cluster receives the last serial data message.
The trouble code is reset within 10 seconds of the arrival of an instrument cluster poll from the BCM. The DTC is logged

6.2 Turn Signal Indicator
Circuit Description
The turn signal circuit 239 has its battery supply provided by R21, the ignition control relay. This means the ignition switch
must be in the ON position before the turn indicator circuit is activated. This circuit is protected by fuse F12 and F105.
When the hazard warning switch S120 is activated, a vehicle ground is placed on BCM connector A15 – X3 pin 16 via
circuits 151 and 111 to indicate to the BCM the hazard lamps are required to flash. The BCM then pulses its internal
Hazard / Theft indicator relay, which places battery voltage on its moving contact to appear on the two vehicle marker
lamp circuits simultaneously.
Under normal conditions, when S231 is moved to indicate a left or right turn, battery voltage passes through the flasher
relay R19, circuit 27 and S231 to the left-hand (circuit 1314) or right-hand (circuit 1315) turn signal indicator lamps and
the corresponding instrument cluster indicators.

6.7 Cruise Control – V6
The PIM has the cruise controls connected to it from the turn signal and cruise control switch assembly, When the PIM
receives the commands from these controls, it sends these commands as messages via the GMLAN to the ECM, which
implements the commands.
Circuit Description
When the PIM receives the Cruise on signal from the cruise control switches (S43), the PIM sends the associated
CRUISE command to the ECM via the GMLAN. The ECM sends a Cruise Enabled data message to the MFD via the PIM
to the (P3) instrument cluster. The Cruise Enabled message is displayed for 2 seconds on the MFD and then reduces to
a minimised display.
When the cruise control is then activated, the instrument cluster receives the Cruise Active signal from the ECM. The
cruise control CRUISE ACTIVE MFD message then appears for 2 seconds before becoming a minimised display.
When the cruise control is deactivated, the Cruise Inactive signal is sent from the ECM to the instrument cluster. The
cruise control ACTIVE icon extinguishes immediately and the Cruise Inactive animation is displayed for 2 seconds.
When the cruise control is disabled by pressing the cruise ON–OFF on the cruise control switch, the Cruise Off signal is
sent from the ECM to the instrument cluster. The CRUISE icon extinguishes immediately and the Cruise Off animation is
displayed for 2 seconds.

6.11 Alternator Warning – V6
Operation
The Alternator Warning indicator is only illuminated for 6 seconds after the ignition is switched to the on position with the
engine not running.
If the Alternator data to the instrument cluster via the secondary UART bus is active and the engine speed has equalled
or exceeded 150 r.p.m for at least 5 seconds, the indicator is illuminated and / or the animated icon is displayed on the
MFD. The animated icon is only displayed if the engine is running, and remains displayed until the trip computer switch
MODE button is pressed, at which point the MF D reverts back to the previously displayed trip computer screen.
Circuit Description
The alternator has two signal wires connected to the ECM. These form the monitoring components of the alternator
system.
The ECM monitors the voltages produced on these lines, and if the alternator should be seen by the ECM to be
malfunctioning, it sends the Alternator Fault warning message to the PIM via the GMLAN, The PIM converts the data to
UART protocol and sends it to the BCM which is then sent to the instrument cluster via the secondary UART bus.

6.14 Instrument Illumination
Operation
The slider on the headlamp switch controls the dial, pointer and MFD illumination. Moving the slider varies the input
voltage to the body control module (BCM), which in turn sends a software value of the illumination level to the instrument
cluster via the secondary UART bus. The instrument cluster interprets the illumination level, and controls the illumination
level of the instrument accordingly.
Circuit Description
The headlamp switch incorporates a variable intensity instrument cluster illumination control (slider) and a four-position
switch (or five position with fog lamps) for Off, Park, Headlamps, Auto Headlamps On and fog lamps switch mode.
With the switch in the off position (open circuit), the MFD (and side LCD’s for triple-window cluster) are set at maximum
backlighting. When the switch is in the Park, Headlamp or Auto positions, a 12-volt signal is supplied to the instrument
cluster from the park lamp relay and the MFD (and side LCDs for triple-window cluster) are set to a reduced level of
backlighting.
The dial and pointer illumination are controlled by the slider control on the headlamp switch. The slider varies an input
voltage to the BCM, which in turn transmits an illumination level to the instrument cluster via the secondary UART bus.
Refer to 3 Wiring Diagrams and Connectors to aid in diagnosis.
Test Description

6.15 Brake Fail / Park Brake Warning
Brake Fail / Park Brake Warning
Operation
All vehicles are equipped with switches that sense the state of the braking system and whether the driver has applied the
handbrake. Whenever the braking system fails or the handbrake is applied, a warning indicator illuminates within the
instrument cluster together with an MFD message.
Vehicles fitted with Electronic Stability Program (ESP) require to know if the handbrake has been applied, as this will
affect the handling performance of the vehicle. A separate handbrake circuit to the ESP module has been provided to
accommodate this facility.
Circuit Description
For wiring diagrams and connector charts, refer to 3 Wiring Diagrams and Connectors.
The brake warning indicator is illuminated when the park brake has been applied and its switch is on, or when the vehicle
speed is greater than 8 km/h and there is a brake warning. The brake warning indicator illuminates and displays an
animated icon on the MFD. The exclamation mark in the centre of the icon flashes until the MODE button on the trip
computer switch is pressed. The MFD then reverts to the previously displayed trip computer screen. Should the vehicle’s
brake system fail, the same sequence of warning messages (and audible alarms) will be presented to the driver.
Brake Fluid Warning
Operation
The brake fluid warning uses the handbrake warning light to indicate that there is a hydraulic problem in the braking
system.
A fault occurring in the Electronic Brake Distribution System also uses this warning message.
Circuit Description
In vehicles that have an ESP module the signal is sent via the GMLAN to the PIM that in turn converts the data to UART
protocol and sends it to the BCM (X2 pin 5 circuit 800) it is then transferred to the instrument cluster via the secondary
UART bus (X1 pin 2 circuit 1061).
Refer to 3 Wiring Diagrams and Connectors to aid in diagnosis.
Test Description
The following numbers refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic table:
2-4 Checks if the brake fail warning is operational.

7.2 Voltage and Oil Pressure Gauge
Circuit Description
Oil Pressure Gauge – V6
The ECM supplies a 5-volt reference voltage and a ground circuit to the oil pressure sender unit. The oil pressure sender
provides a signal voltage to the ECM, which converts it into serial data. The signal is then sent as serial data to the PIM,
which converts the data to UART protocol and sends it via the UART bus to the BCM. This is then sent to the auxiliary
gauge assembly's internal CPU to drive the oil pressure gauge.
Oil Pressure Gauge – V8
The PCM for GEN III ECM for GEN IV supplies a 5-volt reference voltage and a ground circuit to the oil pressure sender
unit. The oil pressure sender provides a signal voltage to the PCM/ECM, which converts it into serial data. The signal is
then sent as serial data to the PIM, which converts the data to UART protocol and sends it via the UART bus to the BCM,
and then to the auxiliary gauge assembly's internal CPU to drive the oil pressure gauge.
