Battery light,abs light,air bag light on.temp guage inop.battery was dead,slow charged it,and started the car check codes and ipc has no communication

2992 , ARE YOU CAPTAIN KIRK, TRAVELING 969 YEARS IN TO THE FUTURE OR MICHEAL J. FOX?
CAN I WATCH? LOL !!!!!!!!!!!
2002 SURE.
xl 1500 OR XL 2500 WHICH IS IT?
engine starts and drives? sure as RPM guage works.
ALL FUSES GOOD IN ALL BOXES ?????????
YOU CAN NOT DO THAT.
THE CLUSTER IS NOT PLUG AND PLAY AT ALL IN THE USA
THE CLUSTER AND PCM ARE MARRIED FOR ODOMETER LAWS.
but oddly not this truck , IPC is master of ODOM it seems.

MY GUESS IS BOUGHT THE TRUCK DEAD LIKE THIS.
HOW KNOWS WHAT OTHERS DID, ENDLESS AND BAD.
ABS NEEDS ITS OWN SCAN WITH A REAL ABS SCAN TOO,.
ABS FUSE BLOWN 60AMPS
IP BOX AIR BAG FUSE BLOWN. 15AMP
THERE IS NO OTHER WAY, IF PCM WILL NOT SHOW ABS STATUS.
SAME WITH SRS BAGS IT MUST BE SRS SCANNED.
IS ODOMETER IS DEAD ?

DO NOT IGNORE SHORTED 02 SENSORS, THEY LOVE TO.
AND IS SUPER BAD FOR POWER BUS BUT There are 2x, 02 fuses.
the cluster uses RADIO FUse 15amp under hold box
cigar fuse not blow or scan port fails at pin 16.DLC obd2.

this truck is complex ,lost of things to short out fuses are FIRST
all of them checked first, a 20cent fix each one found.
saving endless labor. barking up wrong trees, (pun intended)

Cluster facts. real name GM IPC
3 fuses.IN IP box AND 1 IN HOOD BOX.
cruise,IGN0, IGN1 all good and radio fuse (hood) good
if radio blows the info display goes dead."MESSAGES"
G103 ground to IPC good

the cluster is 99% pure digital and runs off serial data from pcm and more, the 1% are some simple lamps
Turn sigs
CEL is PCM controlled
100 $% digital Odometer and trip, display
no why that works with IPC swaps

hints from the web
Mileage in full size trucks is kept only in the IPC, instrument panel cluster. The Colorado and
Canyon are kept in the BCM..
the rebuilder said

VIN/mileage required to order!

SO IT SEEMS THE IPC IS MASTER OF ODOM AND TELLS THE PCM MILES
BUT VIN CODES CAN BE PROBLEM STORED AND NOT EQUAL.

What code ? Plugging in a scan tool to check codes is how it's done , not by the light blinking an then staying on . Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop.

AIR BAG Indicator
The AIR BAG indicator, located in the IPC is used to notify the driver of SIR system malfunctions and to verify that the SDM is communicating with the IPC. When the ignition is turned ON, the SDM and the IPC are supplied with ignition 1 voltage. The IPC responds by flashing the AIR BAG indicator seven times. While the IPC is flashing the AIR BAG indicator, the SDM conducts tests on all SIR system components and circuits. If no malfunctions are detected, the SDM will command the IPC to turn the AIR BAG indicator OFF via Class 2 serial data. The SDM provides continuous monitoring of the inflator module circuits by conducting a sequence of checks. If a malfunction is detected, the SDM will store a DTC and command the IPC to turn the AIR BAG indicator ON via Class 2 serial data. The presence of a SIR system malfunction could result in non-deployment of the inflator modules in the event of a collision, or deployment of the inflator modules without the event of a collision. The AIR BAG indicator will remain ON until the malfunction has been repaired.


Code's on a factory or professional scan tool look like this
DTC B0012, B0013, B0014, B0016, B0017, or B0018
DTC B0022, B0024, B0026, B0042, B0043, or B0044
DTC B0028, B0029, or B0030
DTC B0040, B0041, or B0045
DTC B0051
DTC B0053
DTC B0057, B0058, or B0059
DTC B0064, B0065, or B0066
DTC B0077, B0078, B0079, B0080, B0081, or B0082
DTC B0100, B0101, B0102, B0103, B0104, or B0105
DTC B1001


Doesn't do the flashing light code thing .

Pull your negative battery cable for 30 min see if it resets your sytem. Guages should jump up and drop back then work perfectly. Had to do this with my 2005 monte carlo

Hey Earl, what's going on ? The air bag module is usually under the passenger seat or the center console ! The only way to turn off the light is with a up grade scan tool , not code reader. An the light is on for a reason , problem with the system ! If you don't know about this don't mess with it , you could deploy an air bag !
The AIR BAG indicator, located on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) is used to notify the driver of SIR system malfunctions and to verify that the SDM is communicating with the IPC. When the ignition is turned ON, the SDM is supplied with ignition 1 voltage and requests the IPC to flash the AIR BAG indicator 7 times. While flashing the indicator, the SDM conducts test on all SIR system components and circuits. If no malfunctions are detected the SDM will communicate with the IPC through the class 2 serial data circuit and request the IPC to turn the AIR BAG indicator OFF. The SDM provides continuous monitoring of the air bag circuits by conducting a sequence of checks. If a malfunction is detected the SDM will store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and request the IPC to turn the AIR BAG indicator ON. The presence of a SIR system malfunction could result in non-deployment of the air bags. The AIR BAG indicator will remain ON until the malfunction has been repaired.

check your alternator charging rate and check all negative connections from battery to chassis to engine,and check battery for dead cells

check battery volts see if battery volts are 12.6 volts.battery could be weak or battery cables and battery post terminals need cleaning.

HAVE THE BATTERY LOAD TESTED BY ANY AUTOZONE OR ORILEY AUTO PARTS, IT IS FREE. All THE SYMPTOMS YOU HAVE ARE FOR A DEFECTIVE BATTERY.

Get the fault code.

It sounds like the engine is running on battery power only.The engine of today`s technology needs the alternator to have enough ignition to run on,lights and computer,etc,will be affected by low voltage,and amps.The alternator is not charging,look for a charging fuse to see if it is blown.If the fuse is fine,replace the alternator,and have the battery recharged on a slow 2 amp charge so it will recover it`s loss of deep cycle amps.This will prolong battery life and alternator.If I can help let me know.Let me know the out come.
