

If the word "Error 1" is indicated, there is a malfunction in the communication line between the gauge 
control module and the fast-controller area network (F-CAN). Check for DTCs in the ECM/PCM and 
troubleshoot any DTCs found. If no DTCs are found, go to indicated troubleshooting.  



If the word "Error 2" is indicated, there is a malfunction in the UART communication line between the 
gauge control module and the multiplex control unit. Go to the gauge control module input test and check 
the No. 27 terminal. If the wire harness is OK, substitute a known-good gauge control module and 
recheck.  



If the word "Error 3" is indicated, there is a malfunction in the communication line between the gauge 
control module and F-CAN and UART. Check for DTCs in the ECM/PCM and troubleshoot any DTCs 
found.  

ENDING THE SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
