Removal

NOTE: If installing a new IC, all vehicle keys are erased during the parameter reset procedure. Verify at least 2 of the vehicle keys are available prior to carrying out this procedure.

All vehicles

1. If installing a new Instrument Cluster (IC), upload the IC configuration information to the scan tool. For additional information, refer to Module Configuration Programmable Module Installation (PMI), Programmable Module Installation (PMI).

2. Lower the steering column to the lowest position.

3. Remove the 3 screws and the lower steering column cover.
- Disconnect the electrical connector for the brake pedal switch (if equipped).

Navigator

4. Remove the 2 IC finish panel screws.

5. NOTICE: The 2 tabs on the LH A/C register must be pressed to release the LH side of the A/C register from the instrument panel or damage to the IC finish panel may occur.

NOTE: The 2 tabs that retain the LH A/C register can be accessed from the backside of the instrument panel with the lower steering column cover removed.

Press the 2 tabs on the outer edge of the LH A/C register while pulling the IC finish panel out from the instrument panel.

Installation

1. Position the IC and install the 4 screws.
- Connect the electrical connector.

2. Position the IC finish panel and install the ambient air temperature sensor electrical connector and air tube.

3. Connect the dimmer switch electrical connector.

4. Install the IC finish panel and the 2 screws.

6. If installing a new IC, upload the IC configuration information to the scan tool. For additional information, refer to Module Configuration Programmable Module Installation (PMI), PMI.

7. NOTE: If a new IC is installed, the IC and the PCM require a parameter reset to allow the IC and the PCM to recognize each other. Failure to carry out the parameter reset to the IC and the PCM results in a no start condition. Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) Parameter Reset

NOTE: If equipped, the vehicle's Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) keys must be programmed to the new IC.

Carry out the parameter reset and key programming procedure. For additional information, refer to Anti-Theft - Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys.
