the odometer/trip odometer switch and the Electronic Vehicle Information Center Display (EVIC) switch button.
Several versions of the CCN are offered. These versions accommodate all of the variations of optional equipment
and regulatory requirements for the various markets in which the vehicle will be offered. The microprocessor-based
CCN utilizes integrated circuitry and information carried on the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus along with
several hard wired analog and multiplexed inputs to monitor sensors and switches throughout the vehicle. In
response to those inputs, the internal circuitry and programming of the CCN allow it to control and integrate many
electronic functions and features of the vehicle through both hard wired outputs and the transmission of electronic
message outputs to other electronic modules in the vehicle over the CAN/LIN data bus (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/COMMUNICATION - DESCRIPTION).
The CCN houses four analog gauges and has provisions for up to twenty-five indicators. All of the CCN indicators
are automatically configured when the CCN is connected to the vehicle electrical system for compatibility with cer-
tain optional equipment or equipment required for regulatory purposes in certain markets. While each CCN may
have provisions for indicators to support every available option, the configurable indicators will not be functional in
a vehicle that does not have the equipment that an indicator supports.
Each indicator in the CCN, except those located within the VFD units, is illuminated by a dedicated LED that is
soldered onto the CCN electronic circuit board. Cluster illumination is accomplished by dimmable LED back lighting,
which illuminates each of the gauges for visibility when the exterior lighting is turned on. The LED units are not
available for service replacement and, if damaged or faulty, the entire CCN must be replaced.
The CCN is serviced only as a complete unit. The CCN cannot be adjusted or repaired. If a gauge, an LED indi-
cator, a VFD unit, the electronic circuit board, the circuit board hardware, the cluster overlay, or the CCN housing
are damaged or faulty, the entire CCN must be replaced. The cluster lens, hood and mask unit are available for
separate service replacement.

OPERATION
The ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) in this model also includes the hardware and software necessary
to serve as the electronic body control module and is sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node or
CCN. The following information deals primarily with the instrument cluster functions of this unit. Additional details of
the electronic body control functions of this unit may be found within the service information for the system or com-
ponent that the CCN controls. For example: Additional details of the audible warning functions of the CCN are found
within the Chime/Buzzer service information.
The CCN is designed to allow the vehicle operator to monitor the conditions of many of the vehicle components and
operating systems. The gauges and indicators in the CCN provide valuable information about the various standard
and optional powertrains, fuel and emissions systems, cooling systems, lighting systems, safety systems and many
other convenience items. The CCN is installed in the instrument panel so that all of these monitors can be easily
viewed by the vehicle operator when driving, while still allowing relative ease of access for service.
The microprocessor-based CCN hardware and software uses various inputs to control the gauges and indicators
visible on the face of the cluster. Some of these inputs are hard wired, but most are in the form of electronic mes-
sages that are transmitted by other electronic modules over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus and the
Local Interconnect Network (LIN) data bus. The CCN is the master of the LIN bus and there are four modules that
talk to the CCN: The Heated Seat Module (HSM), Remote Compass Module (RCM), Steering Control Module
(SCM), and the Accessory Switch Bank Module (ASBM) (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL
MODULES/COMMUNICATION - OPERATION).
The CCN microprocessor smooths the input data using algorithms to provide gauge readings that are accurate,
stable and responsive to operating conditions. These algorithms are designed to provide gauge readings during
normal operation that are consistent with customer expectations. However, when abnormal conditions exist such as
high coolant temperature, the algorithm can drive the gauge pointer to an extreme position and the microprocessor
can sound a chime through the on-board audible tone transducer to provide distinct visual and audible indications of
a problem to the vehicle operator. The CCN may also produce audible warnings for other electronic modules in the
vehicle based upon electronic tone request messages received over the CAN/LIN data bus. Each audible warning is
intended to provide the vehicle operator with an audible alert to supplement a visual indication.
The CCN circuitry operates on battery current received through a fused B(+) fuse on a non-switched fused B(+)
circuit, and on battery current received through a fused ignition switch output (run-start) fuse on a fused ignition
switch output (run-start) circuit. This arrangement allows the/CCN to provide some features regardless of the ignition
switch position, while other features will operate only with the ignition switch in the On or Start positions. The CCN
circuitry is grounded through a ground circuit of the instrument panel wire harness.
The CCN also has a self-diagnostic actuator test capability which will test each of the CAN bus message-controlled
functions of the cluster by lighting the appropriate indicators, positioning the gauge needles at several predeter-
mined calibration points across the gauge faces, and illuminating all segments of the odometer/trip odometer/gear
selector indicator Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit and Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). The
EVIC will display the hardware/software version, and the CAN and LIN Vehicle Maintenance Monitor (VMM) used in
the CCN. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
The CCN collects data and provides control signals for the following electrical equipment via the CAN data bus:
Gauges
Interior lighting controls
Variable-intensity cluster lighting and illumination of instrument panel mounted equipment
Vehicle Theft Alarm and Sentry Key Theft Deterrent System
Power door lock system controls (automatic locking, and Remote Keyless Entry locking and unlocking)

GAUGES
All gauges receive battery current through the CCN circuitry only when the ignition switch is in the On or Start
positions. With the ignition switch in the Off position battery current is not supplied to any gauges, and the CCN
circuitry is programmed to move all of the gauge needles back to the low end of their respective scales. Therefore,
the gauges do not accurately indicate any vehicle condition unless the ignition switch is in the On or Start positions.
All of the CCN gauges are stepper motors. The gauges are diagnosed using the CCN self-diagnostic actuator test.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). Proper testing of the CAN data
bus and the electronic data bus message inputs to the CCN that control each gauge require the use of a diagnostic
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information. Specific operation details for each gauge may be found
elsewhere in this service information.
VACUUM-FLUORESCENT DISPLAYS
ODOMETER/TRIP ODOMETER - The odometer and trip odometer give an indication to the vehicle operator of the
distance the vehicle has traveled. The engine hours give an indication of the cumulative engine-ON time. This indi-
cator is controlled by the instrument cluster circuitry based upon cluster programming and electronic messages
received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Engine Control Module (ECM) over the Con-
troller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The odometer/trip odometer will display some warning messages such as “d00R” and “gATE” ajar. If equipped with
the optional Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), the EVIC will display all messages except GASCAP.
The odometer, trip odometer and engine hours information are displayed by the instrument cluster Vacuum Fluo-
rescent Display (VFD). The VFD will display the odometer information whenever the driver side front door is opened
with the ignition switch in the OFF or ACCESSORY positions, and will display the last previously selected odometer
or trip odometer information when the ignition switch is turned to the ON or START positions. The instrument cluster
circuitry controls the VFD and provides the following features:
Odometer/Trip Odometer Display Toggling - Actuating the trip odometer reset switch button momentarily
with the VFD illuminated will toggle the display between the odometer and trip odometer information. Each
time the VFD is illuminated with the ignition switch in the ON or START positions, the display will automatically

opened and is deactivated when the driver door is closed. Otherwise, the display units are active when the ignition
switch is in the On or Start positions, and inactive when the ignition switch is in the Off or Accessory positions.
The illumination intensity of the VFD units are controlled by the CCN circuitry based upon an input from the head-
lamp switch and a dimming level input received from the panel dimmer switch. The CCN synchronizes the illumi-
nation intensity of other VFD units with that of the unit in the CCN by sending electronic dimming level messages
to other electronic modules in the vehicle over the CAN/LIN data bus.
The CCN VFD units have several display capabilities. The right VFD unit displays odometer, trip odometer, engine
hours, gear selector indication (PRNDL) for models with an automatic transmission, several warning or reminder
indications, and various diagnostic information when certain fault conditions exist. An odometer/trip odometer switch
on the CCN circuit board is used to control some of the display modes of the right VFD. This switch is actuated
manually by depressing the odometer/trip odometer switch button that extends through the lower edge of the cluster
lens, just left of the tachometer. Actuating this switch momentarily with the ignition switch in the On position will
toggle the VFD between the odometer and trip odometer modes. Depressing the switch button for about two sec-
onds while the VFD is in the trip odometer mode will reset the trip odometer value to zero. The left VFD unit dis-
plays the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) and Compass/Temperature information. The left switch button
is used as a STEP button for the EVIC display and customer programmable features (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
MESSAGE CENTER/ELECT VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER - OPERATION).
NOTE: If the vehicles OnBoard Diagnostic (OBD) system determines that the fuel filler cap is loose, improp-
erly installed, or damaged, a “GASCAP” message will be displayed in the Odometer/Trip Odometer. In this
instance, tighten the fuel filler cap and press the odometer/trip odometer reset button once to turn the mes-
sage OFF. The key must be in the Run/Start position during the reset, or you may just cycle the key. If left
loose for three trips, or key cycles, a DTC will set and the MIL lamp will illuminate.
Holding the right switch depressed while turning the ignition switch from the Off position to the On position will
initiate the CCN self-diagnostic actuator test. Refer to the instrument cluster diagnosis and testing service informa-
tion for additional details on this cluster function. The CCN microprocessor remembers which display mode is active
when the ignition switch is turned to the Off position, and returns the VFD display to that mode when the ignition
switch is turned On again.
The VFD unit is diagnosed using the CCN self-diagnostic actuator test. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). Proper testing of the CAN data bus and the electronic data bus message
inputs to the CCN that control some of the VFD functions requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information. Specific operation details for the odometer, the trip odometer, the gear selector
indicator and the various warning and reminder indicator functions of the VFD unit may be found elsewhere in this
service information. Refer to the vehicle owners manual for further information on various readout messages.
INDICATORS
Indicators are located in various positions within the CCN and are all connected to the CCN electronic circuit board.
The door ajar indicator, cargo lamp indicator, high beam indicator, and turn signal indicators operate based upon
hard wired inputs to the CCN. The brake indicator is controlled by CAN data bus messages from the Controller
Antilock Brake (CAB) as well as by hard wired park brake switch inputs to the CCN. The seatbelt indicator is con-
trolled by the CCN programming, CAN data bus messages from the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), and a
hard wired seat belt switch input to the CCN. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is normally controlled by CAN
data bus messages from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM); however, if the CCN loses CAN data bus commu-
nication, the CCN circuitry will automatically turn the MIL on until CAN data bus communication is restored. The
CCN uses CAN data bus messages from the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM), the ORC, the CAB, and the
Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) to control all of the remaining indicators.
The various CCN indicators are controlled by different strategies; some receive fused ignition switch output from the
CCN circuitry and have a switched ground, while others are grounded through the CCN circuitry and have a
switched battery feed. However, all indicators are completely controlled by the CCN microprocessor based upon
various hard wired and electronic message inputs. The cruise indicator located within the VFD unit is dimmable. All
other indicators are illuminated at a fixed intensity, which is not affected by the selected illumination intensity of the
CCN general illumination LED’s. The illumination intensity of the dimmable indicators is synchronized with that of the
CCN general illumination LED’s.
In addition, certain indicators in this instrument cluster are automatically configured or self-configured. This feature
allows the configurable indicators to be enabled by the CCN circuitry for compatibility with certain optional equip-
ment. The CCN defaults for the ABS indicator and airbag indicator are enabled, and these configuration settings
must be programmatically disabled in the CCN using a diagnostic scan tool for vehicles that do not have this equip-
ProCarManuals.com
ment. The automatically configured or self-configured indicators remain latent in each CCN at all times and will be
active only when the CCN receives the appropriate CAN message inputs for that optional system or equipment.
The hard wired indicator inputs may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic methods. However, the CCN cir-
cuitry and CAN/LIN bus message controlled indicators are diagnosed using the CCN self-diagnostic actuator test.
Some indicators are requested to be turned on via the LIN bus. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUS-
TER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). Proper testing of the CAN/LIN data bus and the electronic message inputs to
the CCN that control an indicator requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information. Specific details of the operation for each indicator may be found elsewhere in this service information.
CLUSTER ILLUMINATION
The CCN has several illumination lamps that are illuminated whenever the exterior lighting is turned On. The illu-
mination intensity of these lamps is adjusted when the interior lighting thumbwheel on the headlamp switch is
rotated (down to dim, up to brighten) to one of six available minor detent positions. The CCN monitors a resistor
multiplexed input from the headlamp switch on a dimmer input circuit. In response to that input, the CCN electronic
circuitry converts a fused 12-volt input it receives on a hard wired panel lamps dimmer switch signal circuit into a
12-volt Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) output.
The CCN uses this PWM output to control the illumination intensity of the cluster, the instrument panel center stack
illumination, and the VFD unit on the CCN circuit board. The CCN also transmits electronic dimming level messages
over the LIN data bus to other electronic modules (such as the ASBM, HVAC control head, the radio, and the clock)
in the vehicle to control and synchronize their illumination intensity.
In addition, the thumbwheel on the headlamp switch has a Parade Mode position to provide a parade or funeral
mode. The CCN monitors the request for this mode from the headlamp switch, then transmits an electronic dimming
level message to illuminate all VFD units in the vehicle at full (daytime) intensity for easier visibility when driving in
daylight with the exterior lighting turned on.
The hard wired headlamp switch and panel lamps dimmer inputs to and outputs from the CCN may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic methods. However, proper testing of the PWM processing of the CCN and the elec-
tronic dimming level messages sent by the CCN over the CAN data bus requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
If all of the instrument cluster gauges and indicators are inoperative, be certain to check the instrument cluster fused
B(+) fuse and the instrument cluster fused B(+) and ground circuits for shorts or opens. Refer to the appropriate
wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
details of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
If an individual hard wired gauge or indicator is inoperative, refer to the diagnosis and testing service information for
that specific gauge or indicator. If an individual Controller Area Network (CAN) or Local Interconnect Network (LIN)
data bus message-controlled gauge or indicator is inoperative, perform the Actuator Test as follows:
CAUTION: Instrument clusters used in this model automatically configure themselves for compatibility with
the features and optional equipment in the vehicle in which they are initially installed. The instrument clus-
ter is programmed to do this by embedding the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and other information
critical to proper cluster operation into electronic memory. This embedded information is learned through
electronic messages received from other electronic modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network
(CAN) data bus, and through certain hard wired inputs received when the cluster is connected to the vehicle
electrically. Once configured, the instrument cluster memory may be irreparably damaged and certain irre-
versible configuration errors may occur if the cluster is connected electrically to another vehicle; or, if an
electronic module from another vehicle is connected that provides data to the instrument cluster (including
odometer values) that conflicts with that which was previously learned and stored. Therefore, the practice
ProCarManuals.com
of exchanging (swapping) instrument clusters and other electronic modules in this vehicle with those
removed from another vehicle must always be avoided. Failure to observe this caution may result in instru-
ment cluster damage, which is not reimbursable under the terms of the product warranty. Service replace-
ment instrument clusters are provided with the correct VIN, and the certified odometer and engine hours
values embedded into cluster memory, but will otherwise be automatically configured for compatibility with
the features and optional equipment in the vehicle in which they are initially installed.
ACTUATOR TEST
The instrument cluster actuator test will put the instrument cluster into its self-diagnostic mode. In this mode the
instrument cluster can perform a self-diagnostic test that will confirm that the instrument cluster circuitry, the gauges,
and the indicators are capable of operating as designed. During the actuator test the instrument cluster circuitry will
position each of the gauge needles at various calibration points, illuminate all of the segments in the Vacuum Flu-
orescent Display (VFD) unit, and turn all of the indicators on and off again.
Successful completion of the actuator test will confirm that the instrument cluster is operational. However, there may
still be a problem with the CAN/LIN data bus, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the Engine Control Module
(ECM), the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM), the Transmission Control Module (TCM), the Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC), the Controller Anti-lock Brake (CAB), the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM)
or the hard wired inputs to one of these electronic control modules. Use a diagnostic scan tool to diagnose these
components. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
1. Begin the test with the ignition switch in the Off position.
2. Depress the odometer/trip odometer switch button.
3. While still holding the odometer/trip odometer switch button depressed, turn the ignition switch to the On position,
but do not start the engine.
4. Release the odometer/trip odometer switch button.
5. The instrument cluster will simultaneously begin to illuminate all of the operational segments in the VFD unit and
perform a bulb check of each operational LED indicator. The VFD segments and LED indicators remain illumi-
nated as each gauge needle is swept to several calibration points and back. If a VFD segment or an LED indi-
cator fails to illuminate, or if a gauge needle fails to sweep through the calibration points and back during this
test, the instrument cluster must be replaced.
6. The actuator test is now completed. The instrument cluster will automatically exit the self-diagnostic mode and
return to normal operation at the completion of the test. The actuator test will be aborted if the ignition switch is
turned to the Off position, or if a vehicle speed message indicating that the vehicle is moving is received from the
PCM over the CAN data bus during the test.
7. Go back to Step 1 to repeat the test, if necessary.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
ENHANCED SEATBELT REMINDER PROGRAMMING
The seatbelt indicator also includes a programmable enhanced seatbelt reminder or “beltminder” feature that is
enabled when the vehicle is shipped from the factory. This beltminder feature provides extended and modified visual
seatbelt indicator and audible chime warning responses to an unbuckled driver side or both driver and passenger
front seat belts. The beltminder feature may be disabled or enabled by the customer using the programming
sequence that follows, or by the dealer using a diagnostic scan tool.
1. With all doors closed and the ignition switch in any position except On or Start, buckle the driver side front seat
belt.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the On position and wait for the seatbelt indicator reminder function to conclude (about
ProCarManuals.com
six seconds).
3. Unbuckle and buckle the driver side front seat belt three or more times, ending with the belt buckled.
NOTE: The occupant must be sure to fully retract the seatbelt each time during this cycle because the
actual switch is located in the seatbelt retractor and not the buckle. Each time the seatbelt is buckled or
unbuckled, and fully retracted, the seatbelt indicator will illuminate or turn OFF, depending on switch state.
4. Turn the ignition switch to any position except On or Start to toggle the beltminder feature from its current setting
(from active to inactive, or from inactive to active). A single chime tone will provide an audible confirmation that
the programming sequence has been successfully completed.
