257 mm (10.1 inch) Display Screen Module (DSM) (1) shown, 213 mm (8.4 inch) DSM similar.

The front of the DSM allows for touchscreen input commands to the radio via a short Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) wire harness which is routed from the radio to the DSM and retained by wire harness clips. The back of the DSM houses the wire harness connections necessary for Controller Area Network (CAN) communication, power and ground circuits in one 8-terminal connector, and LVDS touchscreen input and output circuits in the 4-terminal connector.

The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, details of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds. For proper wire repair, and connector repair procedures. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE and Refer to REMOVAL . Refer to INSTALLATION . Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

The DSM cannot be repaired. If the DSM is damaged or ineffective, it must be replaced. Refer to MODULE, DISPLAY SCREEN (DSM), REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .

OPERATION

The DSM receives fused B+ from the interior Power Distribution Center (PDC) and is supplied by a ground eyelet secured to the instrument panel carrier behind the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). In addition, the DSM status is broadcast over the Controller Area Network - Interior High Speed (CAN-IHS) data bus to be used by the radio when the radio sends a CAN message for the status of the DSM.

The radio receives touchscreen signals via the LVDS wire harness that connects directly between the radio and DSM. The DSM communicates via a hardwired backchannel protocol with the radio over the LVDS wire harness.

The DSM provides all of the functions of the radio with integral touchscreen. Unlike a radio with integral touchscreen, the DSM is disassociated from the radio and connected by a LVDS wire harness.

The DSM receives vehicle configuration and network configuration information from the vehicle configuration management system via the CAN-IHS data bus. Any diagnostic or loss of communication states are also sent via the CAN-IHS data bus.

The 10.1 inch DSM includes the display screen and the Integrated Center Stack (ICS) functions in one unit.
