Instrument Cluster

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis and 2006 Ford Crown Victoria. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The instrument cluster uses both the CAN and the standard corporate protocol (SCP) communications networks. The instrument cluster displays a variety of vehicle system status information.

The instrument cluster shares the CAN termination responsibilities with the anti-lock brake system (ABS) module through the use of a split termination resistor.

The instrument cluster shares the SCP communications network termination responsibilities with the lighting control module (LCM) and the driver door module (DDM).

Check the CAN and SCP communications network circuits between the instrument cluster C220 and the DLC C251. The total resistance values must not be more than 5 ohms. If the resistance is more than 5 ohms, there is an open circuit in the CAN or SCP communications network, damage to the DLC C251, damage to the instrument cluster C220, or a problem in the in-line connector.
