Instrument Cluster / Carrier: Service and Repair




Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)

NOTE: Steering wheel removed for clarity.









Removal

NOTE: If installing a new Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC), 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.

NOTE: If a new non-Intelligent Access (IA) IPC is installed, the IPC and the PCM require a parameter reset to allow the IPC and the PCM to recognize each other. Failure to carry out the parameter reset to the IPC and the PCM may result in a no start condition. Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) Parameter Reset

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

2. Lower the tilt steering column to the lowest setting.

3. Remove the IPC center bolt cover and bolt.





4. Position back the instrument cluster finish panel.

5. Remove the two lower IPC bolts and the IPC.

For additional information, refer to PMI in Module Configuration Programmable Module Installation (PMI).
- After configuration, remove the jumper and reinstall relay R7.
