The instrument cluster (IC) utilizes a microprocessor to control the gauge, indicator, message center and warning chime functions. Data is sent to the instrument cluster (IC) over the high speed controller area network (HS-CAN) bus lines and through hardwired circuitry from individual components. The instrument cluster (IC) uses each input to output an action to the gauges or indicators. The instrument cluster (IC) uses input messages from other modules to control the gauges, informational indicators, warning indicators and reconfigurable telltale indicators over the communication networks. If a required message is missing or invalid for less than 5 seconds, the gauge or indicator that requires the message remains at the last commanded state based upon the last known good message. For example, if the brake status message is missing for less than 5 seconds and the brake warning indicator was ON, the indicator remains in the ON state until the next good message is received. If the message remains missing or invalid for greater than 5 seconds, the instrument cluster (IC) sets a U-code DTC and the output becomes a default action for the indicator or gauge. Each indicator or gauge utilizes a different default strategy depending on the nature of the indication. Refer to the normal operation descriptions located before each individual pinpoint test for further description of the default action specific to each indicator or gauge. If the messaged input to the cluster returns at any time, the normal function of the gauge or indicator resumes. NOTE: Whenever a network message is suspected as missing and confirmed by a missing message DTC (U-code), it is important to look for other symptoms that may also be present in the instrument cluster (IC) and throughout the vehicle. Once a DTC is set in the instrument cluster (IC), it may be helpful to review the complete message list available in Section 418-00 to see what other modules also rely on the same message and run the self-test for those modules. If the message is missing from other modules, the same DTC may also be set in those modules. Confirmation of missing messages common to multiple modules may indicate that the originating module is the source of the concern or the communication network may be experiencing some problems. It is very important to understand: where the input originates. all the information necessary in order for a feature to operate. which module(s) receive(s) the input or command message. does the module which received the input control the output of the feature, or does it output a message over the communication network to another module. which module controls the output of the feature. Instrument Cluster Instrument Cluster (IC) Gateway Function The instrument cluster (IC) acts as a gateway module by receiving information in one format and transmitting it to other modules using another format. For example, the instrument cluster (IC) receives the vehicle speed data from the PCM over the high speed controller area network (HS-CAN), converts the data into a medium speed controller area network (MS- CAN) message and sends (gateways) the message to other network modules such as the heating ventilation air conditioning (HVAC) module, the audio control module (ACM), and the smart junction box (SJB). This enables network communication between modules that do not communicate using the same network (HS-CAN or the MS-CAN). Instrument Cluster (IC) Configuration The instrument cluster (IC) contains items that are configurable. While some configurable items are customer preference items, most items are configured at the end of the line production and only available for configuration using the programmable module installation (PMI) procedures. Refer to Section 418-01 for additional information on the PMI procedure and programmable module parameters. NOTE: When installing a new instrument cluster (IC), it is necessary to upload the module configuration to the scan tool. Following installation of the instrument cluster (IC), download the module configuration from the scan tool into the new instrument cluster (IC). Refer to Section 418-01 to carry out PMI. Following installation of a new instrument cluster (IC), the instrument cluster (IC) and the PCM need to be mated. Refer to Section 419-01 to carry out a parameter reset procedure. The following are the configurable customer preference items: Auto lock Auto-unlock

Page 2 of 58 Belt-Minder Language Oil life warning threshold Instrument Cluster (IC) Network Messages The instrument cluster (IC) and other vehicle modules carry out a display prove-out to verify that all module controlled warning/indicator lamps and monitored systems are functioning correctly within the instrument cluster (IC). When the ignition switch is cycled to the ON position with the engine off, the indicators illuminate to prove-out according the following table: Indicator Controlling Module Indicator Type Prove-Out Duration Air bag Instrument cluster (IC) Warning 6 seconds ABS Instrument cluster (IC) Warning 3 seconds Brake Instrument cluster (IC) Warning 3 seconds Charge PCM Informational Engine start up Check fuel cap (Sport Trac base cluster only) Instrument cluster (IC) Informational 3 seconds Door ajar Instrument cluster (IC) Warning prove-out Engine coolant over temperature Instrument cluster (IC) Warning 3 seconds Four wheel drive (4WD) low Instrument cluster (IC) Informational 3 seconds (if equipped) 4WD high Instrument cluster (IC) Informational 3 seconds (if equipped) High beam SJB Informational prove-out Low engine oil pressure Instrument cluster (IC) Warning Engine startup Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) PCM Warning Engine startup Overdrive (O/D) off PCM Informational prove-out Powertrain malfunction (wrench) (base cluster) Instrument cluster (IC) Informational 3 seconds RH/LH turn signals SJB Informational prove-out Safety belt RCM Warning 60 seconds if the safety belt is unbuckled, turns off when the safety belt is buckled Speed control PCM Informational prove-out Traction control/stability assist Instrument cluster (IC) Informational 3 seconds Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) Instrument cluster (IC) Warning 3 seconds Information And Message Center The message center information can be selected through the SELECT/RESET button (base cluster) and by the INFO, SETUP, and RESET buttons (high series cluster). The message center is an integral part of the instrument cluster (IC) that receives and acts upon much of the same information that is input and used to operate the instrument cluster (IC) gauges, informational indicators, and warning indicators. The message center, located in the center of the instrument cluster (IC) is a liquid crystal display (LCD). The message center electronic functions use both hardwired and the controller area network (CAN) circuitry to transmit and receive information. Whenever conditions are present that require a warning message, the message center replaces the last selected display with the new warning display. Once the message is reset or cleared, the message center returns to the last selected display. If multiple warnings are present, the message center displays each warning for approximately 4 seconds. Warning messages are also generally associated with other observable instrument cluster (IC) indications. For example, when the LH front door is opened, the message center displays the message DRIVER DOOR AJAR along with the door ajar warning indicator. This allows the message center to be a more informative supplement to the instrument cluster (IC) gauges and indicators. Message Center Features The message center provides the following features: Information displays Setup displays System check messages Warning messages Information Displays (Base Instrument Cluster [IC]) The information displays are non-timed modes. The selected mode remains on until the driver presses the SELECT/RESET switch to change the mode, or until it is overridden by another mode. The information display modes are: Odometer/trip odometer, compass headings Outside air temperature display (if equipped) Distance to empty Average fuel economy Setup menu Information Displays (High Series Instrument Cluster [IC]) The information displays are non-timed modes. The selected mode remains on until the driver presses a message center switch to change the mode, or until it is overridden by another mode. The information display modes are: Odometer/trip odometer, compass headings, outside air temperature display Distance to empty Average fuel economy Instantaneous fuel economy Fuel used Trip elapsed drive time Blank

For each of the monitored systems, the message center indicates either an OK message or a warning message for 2 seconds. For base instrument clusters (IC), the SELECT/RESET button must be held down after pressing the SELECT/RESET button to cycle the messages through each of the systems being monitored. For high series instrument clusters (IC), pressing the RESET control switch cycles the message center through each of the systems being monitored. The system check report is as follows: OIL LIFE CHARGING SYSTEM WASHER FLUID DOOR AJAR EXTERIOR LAMPS BRAKE FLUID LEVEL PARK BRAKE FUEL LEVEL AND DISTANCE TO EMPTY (high series instrument cluster [IC]) MILES TO EMPTY (base instrument cluster [IC]) FUEL LEVEL LOW (base instrument cluster [IC]) System Warnings The system warnings alert the operator to possible problems or malfunctions in the vehicle operating systems. The message center displays the last selected feature if there are no more warning messages. This allows the operator full functionality of the message center after acknowledgement of the warning message by pressing the reset button and clearing the message. The warning messages are divided into 4 categories: They cannot be cleared until the condition is corrected. They reappear on the display 10 minutes from the reset if the condition has not been corrected. They do not reappear until an ignition OFF-ON cycle has been completed. They reappear if the condition clears then reoccurs within the same ignition ON-OFF cycle. The warning displays that cannot be reset are: DOOR AJAR The warning messages that reoccur after 10 minutes are: FUEL LEVEL LOW PARK BRAKE ENGAGED CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM The warning messages that display whenever the ignition switch is turned from the OFF position to the ON position are: CHECK PARK AID (if equipped) BRAKE FLUID LEVEL LOW CHECK HEADLAMP CHECK HIGHBEAM CHECK TURN LAMP WASHER FLUID LOW LEVEL OIL CHANGE REQUIRED ENGINE OIL CHANGE SOON The warning messages that return after a condition has cleared then reoccurs within the same ignition ON-OFF cycle are: LIFTGATE/GLASS AJAR CLEAR OBJECTS BY PASS SEAT

Pinpoint Tests Pinpoint Test A: The Instrument Cluster (IC) Is Inoperative Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 60, Instrument Cluster for schematic and connector information. rmal Operation With the ignition switch in the START or RUN position, the instrument cluster (IC) receives voltage from the ignition switch through circuit CDC34 (WH/OG). With the ignition switch in the OFF position, the instrument cluster (IC) receives its keep-alive voltage from the smart junction box (SJB) through circuit SBP24 (VT/RD). The instrument cluster (IC) grounding is through circuits GD145 (BK/BU) and RMC32 (GN/BU). Fuse Wiring, terminals or connectors PINPOINT TEST A : THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (IC) IS INOPERATIVE NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements.

A3 CHECK CIRCUIT GD145 (BK/BU) FOR AN OPEN Measure the resistance between the instrument cluster (IC) C220-13, circuit GD145 (BK/BU), harness side and ground. Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? GO to A4. REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation. A4 CHECK FOR CORRECT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (IC) OPERATION Pinpoint Test B: Incorrect Fuel Gauge Indication Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 60, Instrument Cluster for schematic and connector information. rmal Operation The fuel pump module is hardwired to the instrument cluster (IC) through the input circuit VMC11 (YE/VT) and return circuit RMC32 (GN/BU). The fuel level sensor (part of the pump module) is a variable resistor actuated by a float with resistance ranging between 180 ohms ± 4 ohms at empty (E) to 10 ohms ± 2 ohms at full (F). The instrument cluster (IC) provides a reference voltage to the fuel pump module on the input circuit. As the fuel level changes, the fuel level sensor float moves up or down according to the fuel level altering the fuel level signal voltage through the resistor. The instrument cluster (IC) interprets this signal and commands the fuel gauge pointer to sweep to the correct level.

Page 13 of 58 The instrument cluster (IC) uses 4 different operating modes to calculate the fuel level: Anti-slosh (default mode) Key OFF fueling Key ON fueling Recovery After a fuel fill up, the time for the fuel gauge to move from empty (E) to full (F) ranges from 2 seconds to 55 minutes depending on which operating mode the fuel gauge is in. The default fuel gauge mode is called the anti-slosh mode. To prevent fuel gauge changes from fuel slosh (gauge instability due to changes in fuel sender readings caused by fuel moving around in the tank), the fuel gauge takes approximately 55 minutes to go from empty (E) to full (F). The key OFF fueling mode (2 seconds to read empty [E] to full [F]) requires 3 conditions be met: The key must be in the OFF position throughout the entire refueling of the vehicle. At least 15% of the vehicle's fuel capacity must be added to the fuel tank. The instrument cluster (IC) must receive a valid key ON fuel sender reading within 1 second of the key being put into the RUN position. The key ON sample readings are considered valid if the fuel sender reading is between 10 ohms ± 2 ohms and 180 ohms ± 4 ohms. If these conditions are not met, the fuel gauge stays in the anti-slosh mode, which results in a slow to read full (F) event. The key ON fueling mode (approximately 90 seconds to read empty [E] to full [F]) requires 3 conditions be met: The transmission is in PARK (P). The key is in the RUN position. At least 15% of the vehicle's fuel capacity must be added to the fuel tank. In key ON fueling mode, a 30-second timer activates after the transmission is put into the PARK (P) position. When the 30 second time has elapsed and at least 15% of the vehicle's fuel capacity has been added, the fuel gauge response time is 90 seconds to read from empty (E) to full (F). When the transmission is shifted out of PARK (P), the fuel gauge strategy reverts to the anti-slosh mode. The key ON fueling mode prevents slow to read full events from happening if the customer refuels the vehicle with the key in the RUN position. Recovery mode is incorporated into the instrument cluster (IC) strategy to recover from a missing fuel level input after a refueling event. Missing fuel level inputs result from intermittent opens in the fuel sender or its circuits. Recovery mode (empty [E] to full [F] approximately 20 minutes) is initiated when the following 2 conditions are met: The instrument cluster (IC) is in the anti-slosh (default) mode. The actual fuel level in the tank is greater than what is being displayed by the fuel gauge.
