Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) - Overview: Overview
The IPC uses gauges, warning and informational indicators, RTT indicators, warning messages and chimes to alert the driver of vehicle conditions and system operation. The message center provides menu selections to configure various vehicle features. For a complete list and description of the features the message center controls, refer to the Owner's Literature.
The IPC provides a single display screen that contains the message center, RTT indication and virtual gauge displays.
Informational indicators inform the driver of conditions that exist in the vehicle. Warning indicators provide information to the driver of conditions that could potentially cause personal injury or alter vehicle performance.
RTT indicators illuminate in the message center and replace traditional informational or warning indicators, using the same iconic representation. The message center uses a rotating RTT display area that can display multiple indicators, dedicated RTT displays and fixed locations for other RTT indicators and displays.

Network Messaged Inputs
Module messaging has increased over time and is the standard for sending and receiving information required to operate the IPC. The majority of the inputs required to operate the IPC are received over the CAN.
Hardwired Inputs
The IPC requires hardwired inputs from components that are not on the CAN. These components are required for specific IPC functions.
The hardwired inputs are provided by the following components:
- CAN
- Fuel pump assembly
- Park detect switch (part of the floor shifter assembly)
