Circuit/System Description
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the vehicle speed based on the information from the body control module (BCM). The ECM sends the vehicle speed signal information via the serial data circuit to the BCM. The BCM sends a serial data message to the IPC indicating the vehicle speed. The IPC displays the vehicle speed based on the serial data message from the BCM.
