Instrument Cluster Module Configuration

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When installing a new instrument cluster, the instrument cluster must be configured. For additional information, refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION . The instrument cluster is a configurable, hybrid electronic cluster (HEC) that contains a microprocessor, gauges, indicator lamps, and internal circuitry. The following items must be configured when installing a new instrument cluster:

Vehicle security module
Outside air temperature
Outside air temperature settings (°C/°F)
Compass
Climate control (manual or electronic)
Belt minder
Speedometer
Overspeed warning

The instrument cluster carries out a display prove-out to verify that the warning/indicator lamps and monitored systems are operating correctly. When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the charging system warning indicator and the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminate until the engine starts. The door ajar warning indicator illuminates only with the key in the START/RUN position and one or more doors are open, turning off only when the doors are closed. When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position with the engine off, the following indicators will illuminate for approximately 3 seconds with the exception of the air bag warning indicator, which illuminates for approximately 6 seconds:

ABS warning indicator
BRAKE warning indicator
4x4 high indicator
LOW RANGE indicator
Electronic throttle control (ETC)
