Pinpoint Test U: The O/D OFF Indicator Is Never/Always On

Normal Operation

The Instrument Cluster (IC) receives the Overdrive (O/D) off signal from the PCM over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) communication bus. When the O/D function is selected off, the PCM sends a message to the IC to illuminate the O/D OFF indicator. If the O/D on/off message is missing or if the data is deemed invalid by the IC for more than 5 seconds, the IC sets DTC U0101 in continuous memory and defaults the O/D OFF indicator off.

NOTE: If DTC U0101 is set in the IC, other observable symptoms may be an inoperative speedometer, tachometer or odometer.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- O/D concern
- PCM
- IC
