Integrated Circuit Display
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln MKX and 2007 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The integrated circuit display is a vacuum fluorescent (VF) display that contains the odometer, trip odometer, and compass display on base clusters and the message center display on message center clusters. The compass module is hardwired to the instrument cluster. The odometer information is transmitted from the PCM over the communication network to the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster displays the appropriate message(s) upon receipt of the compass heading and odometer data received. Refer to INFORMATION AND MESSAGE CENTER .
