Programming and Relearning

IPC REPLACEMENT
When replacing the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) make sure the correct version is used, since the analog and digital IPC's are not interchangeable. Since the data contained in the IPC's microprocessors are vehicle specific, the IPC must be reprogrammed by a authorized service center when replaced. When obtaining a replacement IPC, all information requested by the authorized service center must be correct. This information ensures that the correct version of software is maintained in the vehicle.

IMPORTANT: All replacement IPC's received from an authorized service center are configured, so that the IPC can learn (store to memory) the vehicle's ignition key pellet resistance (key code) value (PASS-Key II). The vehicle will not start until the key code value is learned by the IPC. The theft deterrent module re-learn procedure must be performed, refer to IPC Programming after replacement.

IPC PROGRAMMING FOLLOWING REPLACEMENT
To ensure that the IPC learns the vehicle's key code value perform the following theft deterrent module re-learn procedures.

IMPORTANT: During this procedure the vehicles battery must maintain a minimum of 10.5 volts. If the battery is not fully charged or is weak a battery charger should be connected. NOTE, the battery charger must not be set to 12 volt boost. This prevents this procedure from working.

1. Cycle the Ignition Switch to the "RUN" position.
2. Wait a minimum of 10 minutes, cycle the Ignition Switch to the "OFF" position.
3. Cycle the Ignition Switch to the "RUN" position.
4. Wait a minimum of 10 minutes, cycle the Ignition Switch to the "OFF" position.
5. Cycle the Ignition Switch to the "RUN" position.
6. Wait a minimum of 10 minutes, cycle the Ignition Switch to the "OFF" position.
7. Verify the repair.
