Default LED Gauges not working

Hi,
My LED gauges are not working and I have to have the AC on to have cooling fans run. I have checked the three cooling fan relay's but think it's ECM related. Analog ga. work ok and car drives fine, any thoughts would help, Thanks

I have replaced the ECM and still no luck, scan tool will not connect and led gauges all ay 0. Cooling Fans only work with AC. I think the two issues are related. I have read that the CCM communicates with the ECM and the ECM toggles ground to open or close relays. I will start again checking relays. does anybody have info on CCM. Thank You

I'm having the same problem. My BCM (same as the CCM) got fried when I tried to jump start the car with a dead battery. Had the BCM rebuilt and it still does not work. Well fixing the BCM fixed a lot of problems but now I just have a dash that does not work.

FYI - Fans do not come on till 228* and in low speed without the A/C.

The LED display is driven by the CCM. It could be the problem or the instrument panel itself. There also could be a bad connection at a connector in either place.

I would not look to the PCM as being the display problem. A set of FSM books would be a great asset for this problem.

You cant check the codes using the on board stuff and will need an external scanner (or Tech 1) for OBD1 with a OBD2 connector. This would give you an indication if you can communicate with the CCM.

I would check all the fuses just to make sure.
