NOTE: Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ).

Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
Clear the DTC with the HDS.
Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC U0155 indicated?

Is there continuity?

YES -Substitute a known-good gauge control module (see GAUGE CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT ), then go to step 11 and recheck. If DTC U0155 is not indicated after substitution, replace the original gauge control module (see GAUGE CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT ), then go to step 11.

NO -Repair an open in the wire between the PCM (A49) and the gauge control module, then go to step 11.
Reconnect all connectors.
Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
Reset the PCM with the HDS.
Do the PCM idle learn procedure (see PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE ).
Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC U0155 indicated?
