Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)

Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)









Removal

NOTE: It is critical that the correct Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) be installed when installing a new IPC. The IPC differs between Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) vehicles equipped with Intelligent Access (IA) and vehicles not equipped with IA. If the incorrect IPC is installed, the vehicle may exhibit a PATS no-start condition.

1. If installing a new IPC, upload the module configuration information to the scan tool.

2. Remove the IPC finish panel.

3. Lower the tilt steering column to the lowest setting.

4. Remove the 2 screws and the IPC.
- Disconnect the electrical connector.

Installation

1. Position the IPC in the instrument panel, connect the electrical connector and install the 2 screws.

2. Install the IPC finish panel.

3. If installing a new IPC, download the IPC configuration information from the scan tool into the new IPC. For additional information, refer to Programmable Module Installation (PMI) in Information Bus. Programming and Relearning

4. NOTE: If installing a new IPC on vehicles that are not equipped with IA, the IPC and the PCM require a parameter reset to allow the IPC and the PCM to recognize each other. Failure to carry out the parameter reset to the IPC and the PCM may result in a no start condition.

If installing a new IPC on vehicles that are not equipped with IA, carry out the parameter reset procedure. Programming and Relearning

5. NOTE: If equipped, the vehicles Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) keys must be programmed to the new IPC.

If installing a new IPC, carry out the PATS key programming. Programming and Relearning
