2. Install the 3 screws.

3. Install the IPC finish panel. Refer to Instrument Cluster / Carrier &/or Interior Moulding / Trim.

4. NOTE: If a new IPC is installed, updated, or re-configured, the IPC and the PCM (non-hybrid) or Transmission Control Module (TCM) (hybrid) require a parameter reset to allow the IPC and the PCM or TCM to recognize each other. Failure to carry out the parameter reset to the IPC and the PCM or TCM can result in a no start condition.
If a new IPC was installed, updated or reconfigured, carry out the parameter reset procedure. For additional information, refer to Antitheft and Alarm Systems. Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS)

5. NOTE: The vehicles integrated keys (or standard Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) keys) must be programmed to the new IPC.
If a new IPC was installed, program the integrated keys. For additional information, refer to Antitheft and Alarm Systems.
