IPC Segment Check: Toronado

When ignition is turned on and "SYSTEM MONITOR" button is pressed, the BCM will cause the IPC to sequentially illuminate and darken all segments and lights in the clusters. This helps to determine if any bulbs or segments of the instrument cluster vacuum fluorescent display are out, or always on. This also allows the technician more time to study the various segments (whenever service diagnostics are entered), a total illumination of all segments and bulbs on the IPC will also occur.
