Circuit/System Description

The instrument cluster displays the travelled distance based on the information from the engine control module (ECM). The ECM converts the data from the vehicle speed sensor to a distance signal. The ECM sends the distance information via serial data to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then sends the information via serial data to the instrument cluster to display the vehicle odometer and trip odometer. The instrument cluster detects the activation of the trip reset switch and a press and hold of the trip reset switch resets the trip odometer information to zero.
