NOTE: Fusion shown, other vehicles similar.











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.

1. If installing a new IPC, upload the module configuration to the scan tool. For additional information, refer to Module Configuration [1][2]Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview, Programmable Module Installation (PMI).

2. Remove the IPC finish panel. For additional information, refer to Instrument Panel and Console Service and Repair.

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

Installation

1. Position the IPC in the instrument panel and connect the electrical connector.

2. Install the 3 screws.

3. Install the IPC finish panel. Refer to Instrument Panel and Console Service and Repair.

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 Anti-Theft - Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) Programming and Relearning.

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 Anti-Theft - Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) Programming and Relearning.

6. If a new IPC was installed, download the IPC configuration information from the scan tool into the new IPC. For additional information, refer to Module Configuration [1][2]Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview, PMI.
