Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)

The instrument cluster assembly includes the following gages: speedometer/odometer, tachometer, fuel gage and engine coolant temperature gage. Refer to the appropriate procedures for removal and installation procedures.

The speedometer head, located in the instrument cluster assembly, consists of a trip odometer and a total mileage odometer. The speedometer and odometer are mechanically driven by the speedometer cable. A vehicle speed sensor is attached to the back of the speedometer head which provides vehicle speed information to the ECM. The speedometer, trip odometer and the total mileage odometer are all serviceable from the instrument cluster assembly.

NOTICE: When replacing a speedometer or odometer assembly, the law requires the odometer reading of the replacement unit to be set to register the same mileage as the prior odometer. If the same mileage cannot be set, the law requires that the replacement odometer be set to zero (0) and a label be installed on the driver's door frame to show the previous odometer reading and date of replacement.

The instrument cluster includes the following indicators: AIR BAG, ABS and ABS ACTIVE (if equipped with Antilock Brake System), BRAKE, charging system, Daytime Running Lamps (DRL), fasten seat belt, high beam, oil pressure, POWER and ON/OFF (if equipped with 4-speed A/T), SERVICE ENGINE SOON, turn signals and 4WD (if equipped). The indicators are serviceable from the rear of the instrument cluster assembly. The instrument cluster assembly indicators may differ from model to model, depending on options.
