Entering Self-Diagnostics

NOTE: Diagnosis should not be attempted unless all IPC segments illuminate, as it could lead to misdiagnosis. If any segment is inoperative, affected display panel should be replaced.
  1. Turn ignition on. Simultaneously push OFF and WARMER buttons on Climate Control Panel (CCP). Continue pushing OFF and WARMER buttons until segment check appears (about 3 seconds) on Instrument Panel Control (IPC).
    NOTE: Failure of any segment to glow may result in inaccurate test results. Replace any inoperative segment display before proceeding with self-diagnostic process.
  2. When segment check appears (all segments glow), system has entered into self-diagnostic mode. Release both buttons. Driver Information Center (DIC) will display diagnostic trouble codes. Diagnostic trouble code level displays PCM codes first, followed by IPC, ACP, SIR and TCS codes (if so prompted).
  3. To proceed to desired level, press and release CCP HI (fan up) button for "yes" or LO (fan down) button for "no". Press LO button to go to next test level (i.e., IPC?, ACP?, SIR? or TCS?) or press OFF button to return to next selection in previous test level.
  4. At any time during display of diagnostic trouble codes, system will exit self-diagnostic service mode and return to normal vehicle operation if AUTO or DEFOG button on CCP is pressed, or press RESET button on DIC.
