10.3 Tachometer Diagnostics
Circuit Description
The powertrain interface module (PIM) receives the tachomer signal from the engine control module (ECM), it is then
sent to the instrument cluster by the PIM via a hard wired connection to drive the tachometer which displays the engine
RPM. Some of these components do not set a DTC, in the event of a component failure. The following diagnostic
procedures are devised to assist in these cases.
Additional Information
• Refer to 7.2 Diagnostic System Check to monitor DTC’s.
• Refer to 8A Electrical Body and Chassis for the following information:
• ECM wiring diagram.
• Refer to 6 W iring Diagram and Connector Chart for the following information:
• PIM connector illustration and terminal assignment, and
• PIM wiring diagram.
• For intermittent faults, refer to Intermittent Fault Conditions.
• Check for an intermittent fault in the wiring harness or connectors, if a fault cannot be found the system is
serviceable.
Since fault conditions in a wiring connector may trigger DTCs, always test the connectors related to this diagnostic
procedure for shorted terminals or poor wiring connection before replacing any component. Refer to 8A Electrical - Body
and Chassis for information on electrical fault diagnosis.
Test Description
The following numbers refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic table:
1 This step tests for DTC’s in the overall system.
2 This step uses the instrument cluster self test to check the function of the tachometer.
3 This step uses Tech 2 to drive the tachometer.
6 This step tests for tachometer drive frequency.
10 This step tests the in-vehicle function of the tachometer.

10.4 Temperature Gauge Diagnostics
Circuit Description
The powertrain interface module (PIM) receives engine temperature status via the GM Lan serial data bus from the
engine control module (ECM) it is then sent to the instrument cluster by the PIM via a hard wired connection to drive the
temperature gauge to the appropriate position. Some of these components do not set a DTC, in the event of a
component failure. The following diagnostic procedures are devised to assist in these cases.
Additional Information
• Refer to 7.2 Diagnostic System Check to monitor DTC’s.
• Refer to 8A Electrical Body and Chassis for the following information:
• ECM wiring diagram.
• Refer to 6 W iring Diagram and Connector Chart for the following information:
• PIM connector illustration and terminal assignment, and
• PIM wiring diagram.
• For intermittent faults, refer to Intermittent Fault Conditions.
• Check for an intermittent fault in the wiring harness or connectors, if a fault cannot be found the system is
serviceable.

11 Service Operations
11.1 Safety and Precautionary Measures

The following safety and precautionary
measures must be followed when servicing
and diagnosing the powertrain interface
module (PIM) System. Otherwise, personal
injury and / or improper braking system
operation may occur:
• W hen using electric welding equipment, disconnect the wiring harness connector from the PIM.
• Never disconnect or reconnect the PIM wiring harness connector when the ignition is switched ON.
• Do not touch the PIM connector pins or soldered components on the PIM circuit board to prevent possible
Electrostatic Discharge damage.
• To avoid wiring connector terminal damage, always use suitable wiring harness test leads (such as those in Tool
No, J35616) when performing tests on the PIM wiring connector.
• The PIM is extremely sensitive to Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI). Ensure the PIM wiring harness is routed
correctly and securely fitted to mounting clips when performing service procedures.
• Due to the sensitive nature of the PIM circuitry, specific wiring repair procedures have been developed. These
procedures and instructions are detailed in 8A Electrical - Body and Chassis and are the only recommended and
approved wiring repair methods.
• Ensure that all wiring harness connectors are seated correctly.
• Never disconnect the battery from the vehicle electrical system while the engine is running.
• Always disconnect the battery from the vehicle electrical system before charging.
• Do not use a fast charger for starting the vehicle.
• Ensure the battery cable terminals are secure.
• Before installing a new PIM, ensure the correct type is fitted. Always refer to the latest spare parts information.
11.2 Powertrain Interface Module

Do not touch the powertrain interface module
pins as Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) damage
may result. For further information on ESD,
refer to 1.2 Warning Caution and Notes.

When replacing the PIM, the PIM must be
reset prior to removal. Failure to perform this
procedure will result in the inability to:
• Test the PIM for warranty purposes.
• Install the PIM into other vehicles.

Remove
1 If replacing the PIM, reset the PIM prior to PIM removal. Refer to PIM Reset in this Section.
2 Turn the ignition switch off.
3 Remove Fuse EB-4, refer to 8A Electrical-Body and Chassis.
4 Remove the right-hand front body hinge pillar trim assembly, refer to 10 Cab.
5 Disconnect the wiring harness connector (1) from the powertrain interface module (PIM) (2).
6 Remove the bolt (3) attaching the PIM to the hinge pillar inner panel.

Figure 6E1 – 16
Reinstall
Reinstallation of the PIM is the reverse of the removal procedure, noting the following:
1 Tighten the attaching bolt to the correct torque specification.
PIM attaching bolt
torque specification ...................................8.0 – 12.0 Nm
2 If the PIM has been replaced, perform the following procedures: • PIM service programming, refer to 12.4 Immobiliser Link to ECM / PIM.
• PIM Configuration, refer to 12.3 PIM Configuration.
