Instrument Cluster Programming and Setup

The instrument panel cluster must be programmed with the proper calibration software. The module stores and utilizes this information however if it is not properly configured with the correct calibration software, the instrument panel cluster will not control all of the vehicle features properly.

Ensure that the following conditions exist in order to prepare for instrument panel cluster programming:

1. The battery is fully charged.
2. The MDI data link connectors are secure.
3. The scan tool is loaded with the most current software version.
4. All disconnected modules and devices are reconnected securely.
5. This entire procedure has been reviewed before proceeding.

Do not reprogram the instrument panel cluster unless directed by a service procedure or a service bulletin.

Instrument Panel Cluster Programming

To program and setup an existing or new replacement instrument panel cluster, perform the following procedure:

1. With a scan tool, access the Service Programming System (SPS) and follow the on-screen instructions. Refer to Service Programming System (SPS) (Service Programming System (SPS))
2. On the SPS Supported Controllers screen, select IPC Instrument Cluster - Programming and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. On the SPS Supported Controllers screen, select IPC Instrument Cluster - Configuration and follow the on-screen instructions.
4. On the SPS Supported Controllers screen, select IPC Instrument Cluster - Setup and follow the on-screen instructions.

If the instrument panel cluster fails to accept the program, verify all scan tool and instrument panel cluster connections are secure.

Note: After programming is completed, perform the following to avoid future misdiagnosis:

1. Turn the ignition OFF for 10 seconds.
2. Open and close the door.
3. Connect the scan tool to the data link connector.
4. Ignition ON, engine OFF.
5. With a scan tool, clear all DTC's from all modules.
