Instrument Cluster - Installation

INSTALLATION

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with air bags, 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 close enough to the instrument panel to reconnect the three instrument panel wire harness connectors (2) to the connector receptacles (1) on the back of the cluster housing.





2. Position the instrument cluster (1) into the instrument panel (3).
3. Install and tighten the two screws (2) that secure the instrument cluster to the instrument panel structural support. Tighten the screws to 4 Nm (31 in. lbs.).
4. Reinstall the cluster bezel onto the instrument panel. Instrument Cluster Bezel - 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 the cruise indicator, the electronic throttle control indicator, the fog lamp indicator, any of the four-wheel drive indicators, the overdrive OFF indicator, the tow/haul indicator, the transmission overtemp indicator, the security indicator or the gear selector 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.

CLUSTER LENS





1. Position the cluster lens and hood unit (2) over the face of the instrument cluster. Be certain that the odometer/trip odometer switch push button is inserted through the clearance hole in the lens and hood unit.
2. Working around the perimeter of the instrument cluster (3), apply even pressure to the lens until each of the retaining clips is fully engaged to the housing.
3. Reinstall the instrument cluster 1.
