DISPLAY GROUPS, INTERPRETING

and sensors. However, instrument cluster display values can differ 
from those in the display fields due to internal filtering.

Diagnostic program!  

NOTE:

z

Display fields in display groups 125 and 126 provide the CAN Data Bus 
function status codes of various control modules connected to the vehicle 
CAN Data Bus network.  

z

If a vehicle is not equipped with control module(s) or components listed in
