NOTE: Certain indicator lamps in this instrument cluster are programmable. This feature allows those indicator lamps to be activated or deactivated with a DRB scan tool through the instrument cluster electronic circuitry for compatibility with certain optional equipment. If a new instrument cluster is being installed, use a DRB scan tool to program the instrument cluster with the proper vehicle equipment option settings to activate and/or deactivate the cruise-on indicator lamp, the overdrive-off indicator lamp, and the transmission oil temperature warning lamp.
