Bulb Failure

The most common bulb failures are for the 3 LCD displays and the 3 gauge faces. These are backlit by 6 bulbs. The uptime of the aforementioned bulbs are the highest as they are always on while the vehicle is operated. When bulb failure occurs, the time and gear position displays may become illegible, and the central LCD may appear partially illuminated.

LCD Pixelation

Pixelation is typically present on the left and right LCD displays which provide temperature, time, and gear position information. This is caused by the failure of the LCD carbon ribbon cables which are adhered to the conductive strips on the instrument cluster circuit board. When the cable fails to properly contact the circuit board, it results in dead pixels on the LCD display.

LCD screen delamination

This presents as damage to the screen face that begins on the leading edge of the screen. This is an irreversible breakdown of the coating on the display and can only be resolved with screen replacement.

Inoperable Check Engine or SRS light

This will cause an immediate emission test failure in many states if the check engine light does not illuminate during the self test. This is caused by burned traces in the instrument cluster circuit board.
