Instrument Cluster - Installation

INSTALLATION

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.

CLUSTER ASSEMBLY





1. Position the instrument cluster (1) close enough to the instrument panel to reconnect the instrument panel wire harness connectors to the connector receptacles on the back of the cluster housing.
2. Position the instrument cluster mounting tabs to the mounting holes in the instrument panel structural support (3).
3. Install and tighten the four screws (2) that secure the mounting tabs of the instrument cluster. Tighten the screws to 2 Nm (17 in. lbs.).
4. Reinstall the instrument panel top cover.Instrument Panel Cover - Installation.
5. Reconnect the battery negative cable.

NOTE: Certain indicators in this instrument cluster are automatically configured. This feature allows those indicators to be activated or deactivated for compatibility with certain optional equipment. If a problem is noted that involves improper illumination of an indicator, disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. After about five minutes, reconnect the battery negative cable and turn the ignition switch to the ON position. The instrument cluster should automatically relearn the equipment in the vehicle and properly configure the configurable indicators accordingly.


NOTE: Some of the components for the instrument cluster used in this vehicle are serviced individually. The serviced components include the cluster lens and the cluster hood and mask unit. Following are the procedures for assembling these components onto the instrument cluster.

CLUSTER LENS, HOOD AND MASK





1. Position the cluster hood and mask unit (2) over the face of the cluster housing (1). Be certain that the odometer/trip odometer switch and reconfigurable display switch push buttons (4) are inserted through the proper clearance holes in the mask.
2. Working around the perimeter of the cluster, press the hood and mask over the face of the cluster housing until each of the integral latch features is fully engaged in the receptacles of the housing.
3. Position the cluster lens (3) over the face of the cluster hood and mask unit (2). Be certain that the odometer/trip odometer switch and reconfigurable display switch push buttons (4) are inserted through the proper clearance holes in the lens.
4. Working around the perimeter of the cluster, press the lens over the face of the hood and mask until each of the integral latch features is fully engaged in the receptacles of the hood and mask or the cluster housing (1).
5. Reinstall the instrument cluster onto the instrument panel. 1.
