Circuit Description

When the ignition switch is in the UNLOCK position, certain class 2 messages do not transmit. The instrument panel cluster (IPC) suspends the operation of the indicators and the gauges that are dependent on these messages until the ignition switch is no longer in the UNLOCK position.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ignition 0 voltage circuit is less than 75 percent of battery voltage for more than 1 second.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • The odometer and the PRNDL displays do not illuminate.
    • The fuel gauge and the engine coolant temperature gauge default to their lowest possible value.
    • The scan tool does not communicate with the IPC.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • The ignition 0 voltage circuit is greater than 75 percent of battery positive voltage. The DTC becomes history when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present.
    • A history DTC will clear after 100 malfunction free warm-up cycle.
    • The IPC receives the clear code command from the scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids

    • When the IPC detects a low voltage at the ignition 0 voltage circuit, the IPC will not communicate with the scan tool. The odometer and the PRNDL displays will not illuminate. The season odometer will display if the trip reset switch is pressed, and the IPC will communicate with the scan tool until the trip reset switch is released.
    • DTC B1367 can only be read by the scan tool as a history code once the fault is removed.
    • This DTC cannot be retrieved with current status. Refer to Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with Class 2 Device for diagnosis of a loss of communication with the instrument cluster.
    • An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by an open condition in the ignition 0 voltage circuit. Refer to Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with Class 2 Device in order to isolate an intermittent condition.
