Instrument Cluster - Installation






INSTALLATION - LHD

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.

CLUSTER ASSEMBLY





1. Position the instrument cluster (1) close enough to the instrument panel and connect the instrument panel wire harness connector.
2. Position the instrument cluster mounting tabs to the mounting holes in the instrument panel.
3. Install and tighten the screws that secure the mounting tabs of the instrument cluster.
4. Install the instrument panel top pad, Instrument Panel Pad - Installation.
5. Connect the negative battery cable.

NOTE: Certain indicators in this instrument cluster are automatically configured. This feature allows those indicators to be activated or deactivated for compatibility with certain optional equipment. If a problem is noted that involves improper illumination of an indicator, disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. After about five minutes, reconnect the battery negative cable and turn the ignition switch to the ON position. The instrument cluster should automatically relearn the equipment in the vehicle and properly configure the configurable indicators accordingly
