IPC Inputs

Digital Cluster:






When troubleshooting a malfunction the IPC input display can be used to determine if the switched inputs can be properly interpreted. When one of the various input tests is selected, the state of that device is displayed as "HI" or "LO." In general, the "HI" and "LO" refer to the input terminal voltage for that circuit. The display also indicates if the input changed state so that the technician could activate or deactivate any listed device and return to the display to see if it changed state. If a change of state occurred, an "X" will appear next to the "HI/LO" indicator. The "X" will only appear once per selected input, although the "HI/LO" indication will continue to change as the input changes. Some tests are momentary and the "X" can be used as an indication of a change.

The following is a list of IPC inputs:

II05* The "ENG/MET" display is "LO" whenever the english-metric button is pressed.

II06* The "SYS MON" display is "LO" whenever the system monitor button is pressed.
