Chevrolet Trax: Odometer trip/reset switch malfunction (trax)
Diagnostic Instructions
- Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this
diagnostic procedure.
- Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic
approach.
- Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each
diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
The instrument cluster displays the travelled distance based on the
information from the engine control module
(ECM). The ECM converts the data from the vehicle speed sensor to a distance
signal. The ECM sends the
distance information via serial data to the body control module (BCM). The BCM
then sends the information
via serial data to the instrument cluster to display the vehicle odometer and
trip odometer. When the instrument
cluster detects the activation of the trip stem and a press and hold of the stem,
it resets the trip odometer
information to zero.

Circuit/System Verification
- Ignition ON.
- Verify the instrument cluster changes from odometer to trip when the
odometer trip reset stem on the instrument cluster is pressed.
- If the instrument cluster does not change from odometer to trip
Replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.
- If the instrument cluster changes from odometer to trip
- Verify the instrument cluster resets the trip odometer display when the
odometer trip reset stem on the
cluster is pressed for approximately 2 seconds.
- If the instrument cluster does not reset the trip odometer display
Replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.
- If the instrument cluster resets the trip odometer display
- All OK.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the repair.

DTC Descriptors
DTC B0158 02
Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Circuit Short to Ground
DTC B0158 05
Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Circuit High Voltage/Open
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The instrument cluster monitors the ambient air temperature sensor with a low
reference circuit and signal
circuit. The instrument cluster monitors the voltage drop across the sensor,
which is inversely proportional to
temperature. When the ambient air temperature is cold, the resistance of the
sensor is high. When the ambient
air temperature is warm, the resistance of the sensors is low. The instrument
cluster converts the voltage value
to a temperature value and displays the temperature.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The system voltage is between 9-16 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B0158 02
The instrument cluster detects the sensor signal is more than 88ºC (190ºF) .
B0158 05
The instrument cluster detects the sensor signal is less than -40ºC (-40ºF).
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The instrument cluster uses a default air temperature value for further
calculations. The instrument cluster will
display -ºC (-ºF). A/C compressor engagement may be disabled.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The DTC will become history if the instrument cluster no longer detects a
malfunction.

Circuit/System Verification
- Ignition ON.
- Verify the scan tool Ambient Air Temperature parameter is between -40ºC
(-40ºF) and +88ºC (+190ºF)
and changes with air temperature changes.
- If not between -40ºC (-40ºF) and +88ºC (+190ºF) or changes with air
temperature changes
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.
- If between -40ºC (-40ºF) and +88ºC (+190ºF) and changes with air
temperature changes
- Perform the Instrument Cluster Ambient Air Temperature Instant Update
special function with the scan
tool
- Verify the scan tool Ambient Air Temperature parameter is within five
degrees of actual ambient air
temperature.
- If not within five degrees of actual ambient air temperature
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.
- If within five degrees of actual ambient air temperature
- All OK.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness
connector at the B9 Ambient Air
Temperature Sensor. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power
down.
- Test for less than 10 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal B
(or 2) and ground.
If 10 ohms or greater
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the P16 Instrument
Cluster.
- Test for less than 2 ohms in the low reference circuit end to end.
- If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms, replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.
- If less than 10 ohms
- Ignition ON.
- Verify the scan tool Ambient Air Temperature parameter is greater than
98%.
If 98% or less
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the P16 Instrument
Cluster.
- Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal A (or
1) and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the
circuit.
- If infinite resistance, replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.
- If greater than 98%
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal A (or
1) and the low reference circuit
terminal B (or 2).
- Verify the scan tool Ambient Air Temperature parameter is less
than 8%.
If 8% or greater
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the P16 Instrument
Cluster, ignition ON.
- Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V
- Ignition OFF
- Test for less than 2 ohms in the signal circuit end to end.
- If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms, replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.
- If less than 8%
- Test or replace the B9 Ambient Air Temperature Sensor.
