Instrument Cluster

There are four conventional instrument cluster assemblies available. The clusters electronically drive the speedometer, odometer, gauges, and tachometer (if equipped).

• Base
• Premium - Base cluster with tachometer and low fuel indicator.
• Luxury - Same features as premium with Black overlay and chrome rings.
• Autostick - Luxury cluster with Autostick.

The overlays for premium, luxury, and autostick clusters have the same indicator layout.

The cluster speedometer, tachometer, and engine coolant temperature gauges are positioned using Programmable Communication Interface (PCI) bus messages received from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The fuel level information is calculated by the cluster based on a hard wire input from the fuel level sensor in the fuel pump module.

The instrument cluster has indicators for the following systems:

• Front Fog Lamp
• Rear Fog Lamp (if equipped)
• Traction Control Off (if equipped)
• Brake
• ABS (if equipped)
• Cruise (if equipped)
• Door
• Traction Control Active (if equipped)
• Left Turn Signal
• Right Turn Signal
• High Beam
• Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
• Low Oil Pressure
• Low Fuel Indicator
• Seatbelt
• Battery
• Airbag
• Security (if equipped)
• Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) (if equipped)

The mileage and message display is composed of six, 7-segment displays and a decimal point. The display may show the odometer mileage, the trip odometer mileage, P-codes, "no buS" for loss of bus communication, and "FUSE" for loss of battery fuse.

PRND/Autostick (if so equipped) - The PRND/Autostick display is controlled by the transmission control module (TCM). The cluster will illuminate the appropriate PRND/gear based upon the message received by the TCM.

The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) informs the driver of problems with the electronic throttle control system on the engine. If a problem is detected with the ETC system, the ETC lamp will come on while the engine is running. If the light is on solid (not flashing) with the engine running, the vehicle will usually be driveable. Repair as soon as possible.

The instrument cluster warning/indicator lamps are all serviceable Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). The instrument cluster must first be removed, and then the defective LED replaced.
