Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)
IPC Gateway Function
The IPC acts as a gateway module by receiving information in one format and transmitting it to other modules using another format. For example, the IPC receives the vehicle speed data from the PCM over the HS-CAN , converts the data into a MS-CAN message and sends (gateways) the message to other network modules such as the HVAC module, the Audio Control Module (ACM) and the SJB . This enables network communication between modules that do not communicate using the same network (HS-CAN or the MS-CAN ).
IPC Configuration
The IPC contains items that are configurable. Configurable items include customer preference items, which can also be set with a scan tool. The remaining configurable items can be set only by the Programmable Module Installation (PMI) process or by using As-Built data. Refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION .

IPC Prove-Out
The IPC carries out a display prove-out to verify that all module controlled warning/indicator lamps and monitored systems are functioning correctly within the IPC . When the ignition is in the ON mode with the engine off, the indicators illuminate to prove-out according the following table:
| Indicator | Indicator Type | Prove-Out Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Air bag | Warning | 6 seconds |
| ABS | Warning | 3 seconds |
| Anti-theft indicator | Informational | 3 seconds |
| Adaptive cruise speed control | Informational | No prove-out |
| Brake | Warning | 3 seconds |
| Cruise control | Informational | No prove-out |
| Grade assist | Informational | No prove-out |
| High beam | Informational | No prove-out |
| Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) | Warning | Engine startup |
| RH/LH turn signals | Informational | No prove-out |
| Safety belt | Warning | 65 seconds if the safety belt is unbuckled, turns off when the safety belt is buckled |
| Traction control disabled | Informational | 3 seconds |
| Traction control | Informational | 3 seconds |
| Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) | Warning | 3 seconds |
| Traction control | Informational | 3 seconds |
