ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER
(EVIC) OVERHEAD CONSOLE
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center is a
computer controlled warning system which, monitors
various sensors used on the vehicle. The system sup-
plements the warning indicators in 8the instrument
cluster. Visual warning messages are displayed by a
digital display in the overhead console (Fig. 1).
When a warning message has been activated, a
tone will sound to attract the driver's attention. The
warning message will then be displayed on the over-
head console until the condition is corrected or a new
display function is called up. A tone will announce each new warning condition.
For complete diagnostic procedures for the EVIC
systems, refer to the Body-Chassis Diagnostic Test
Procedures Manual. The EVIC has a 24 function system that provides
the driver with visual messages when a warning con-
dition exists. These messages are displayed on the
overhead console. For complete EVIC overhead console operating in-
structions, refer to the Owners Manual provided with
the vehicle.
EVIC BUTTON FUNCTIONS
TIME button will display:
² Time of day
² Day of week
² Day of month
² Month of year
The body controller is the source of this informa-
tion. The EVIC function buttons are used to reset
and display this data.
² To set HOURS, press TIME button and within four
seconds press the SET button. An arrow will appear
on the display and point to the hours. Press and hold
the SET button to advance the hours or INFO button
to set back the hours.
² To set MINUTES, press TIME button. The arrow
will point to the minutes. Press and hold the SET
button to advance the minutes or INFO button to set
back the minutes.

BUS ACCESSED DIAGNOSTICS
The following diagnostic test may be used to check
the integrity of the EVIC's internal connections and
operations. Refer to the Body Chassis Diagnostic Test
Procedure Manual for test procedures. MODULE RESET TEST, when the EVIC receives
this request from the DRB II, the EVIC will immedi-
ately enter into reset. DISPLAY TEST: The EVIC receives a request from
the DBR II, the EVIC will enter into a visual display
mode. Also checks the integrity of the display driver
to anode connections. The test shall consist of walk-
ing through the vertical and horizontal rows of an-
odes in the dot matrix display. SWITCH STATUS TEST, when the EVIC receives
this request from the DRB II, the EVIC will report
the open/closed status of each individual switch. FAULT BYTE TEST, when the EVIC receives this
request from the DRB II, the EVIC will report fault
status. Messages reported are:
² NO FAULT
² DISPLAY DRIVER FAULT
² EVIC MISSING MESSAGES
² POWER SUPPLY FAILURE
² FAULT IN RAM
² FAULT IN ROM
EVIC missing message implies that there may be a
system failure and/or the body controller is not pro-
viding EVIC with sufficient information. DISPLAY DRIVER FAULT, power supply failure
and fault in RAM/ROM implies that the EVIC is de-
fective.
