INSTALLATION

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplemental restraint system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, occupant classification system, 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 supplemental restraint system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.




1. Position the instrument cluster (1) close enough to the instrument panel to reconnect the instrument panel wire harness connector to the connector receptacle on the back of the cluster housing.

2. Position the instrument cluster into the instrument panel.

3. Install and tighten the four screws (2) that secure the instrument cluster to the instrument panel. Tighten the screws to 2 Nm (17 in. lbs.).

4. Reinstall the cluster bezel onto the instrument panel.

5. Reconnect the battery negative cable.

NOTE: If the instrument cluster has been replaced, certain indicators in this instrument cluster will be automatically configured when the cluster is connected to the electrical system of the vehicle. This feature allows those indicators to be activated for compatibility with certain optional equipment. Some other indicators may require manual intervention to obtain proper configuration for the equipment in the specific vehicle. If a problem is noted involving erroneous illumination of the ABS indicator, the airbag indicator, the electronic throttle control indicator, the Part Time indicator or the Full Time indicator when the vehicle does not have the appropriate equipment, a diagnostic scan tool must be used to manually enable or disable the correct indicator(s). Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
