DESCRIPTION



The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) features a driver-interactive display (2). The display is located in the lower part of the tachometer (1) on the right side of the instrument cluster (3). This system conveniently allows the driver to select a variety of useful information by pressing the switches mounted on the center stack of the instrument panel. The EVIC displays information related to the following:

  • System Status
  • Vehicle information warning message displays
  • Tire Pressure Monitor System — If Equipped
  • Personal Settings (customer programmable features)
  • Compass display
  • Outside temperature display
  • Trip computer functions

The EVIC system is comprised of several different components. Those components are:

  • Instrument Cluster
  • Upper instrument panel switch pod
  • Ambient Temperature Sensor
  • Electronic Overhead Module
  • Controller Area Network (CAN) Data Bus

The EVIC display is part of the Instrument Cluster assembly and is not serviced as a separate component. If the display is inoperative the complete Instrument Cluster assembly must be replaced, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - REMOVAL). If the EVIC switches in the upper instrument panel switch pod are inoperative and require replacement, Refer to ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/INSTRUMENT PANEL SWITCH POD - REMOVAL for the appropriate procedure. If the compass position sensor (Electronic Overhead Module) is inoperative and requires replacement, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE/UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER - REMOVAL) for the appropriate procedure.
