Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)

Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)

NOTE: Steering column shown removed for clarity.











Removal

NOTE: It is critical that the correct Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) be installed when installing a new IPC. The IPC differs between Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) vehicles equipped with Intelligent Access (IA) and vehicles not equipped with IA. If the incorrect IPC is installed, the vehicle may exhibit a PATS no-start condition.

NOTE: If installing a new 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.

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

2. Remove the IPC finish panel. For additional information, refer to Instrument Cluster / Carrier &/or Interior Moulding / Trim. Instrument Cluster / Carrier

3. Remove the 4 screws and the IPC.
- Disconnect the electrical connector.

Installation

1. Position the IPC in the instrument panel, connect the electrical connector and install the 4 screws.

2. Install the IPC finish panel. For additional information, refer to Instrument Cluster / Carrier &/or Interior Moulding / Trim. Instrument Cluster / Carrier

3. If installing a new IPC, download the IPC configuration information from the scan tool into the new IPC. For additional information, refer to Programmable Module Installation (PMI) in Information Bus. Programmable Module Installation (PMI)

4. NOTE: If installing a new IPC on vehicles that are not equipped with IA, 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.

If installing a new IPC on vehicles that are not equipped with IA, carry out the parameter reset procedure. For additional information, refer to Antitheft and Alarm Systems.

5. NOTE: If equipped, the vehicle's Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) keys must be programmed to the new IPC.

If installing a new IPC, carry out the PATS key programming. For additional information, refer to Antitheft and Alarm Systems. Programming and Relearning
