Instrument Panel Systems: Notes
DESCRIPTION
The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) can interface with the following components:
| 1. | Refer to INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER (IPC) . |
| 2. | Refer to HEADS UP DISPLAY (HUD) MODULE . |
| 3 and 6. | Refer to SWITCH BANK POD
-.
|
| 4. | Refer to BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) . |
| 5. | Refer to DISPLAY SCREEN MODULE . |
| - | Refer to ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER (EVIC) SWITCH - Located on the left steering wheel spoke. |
| - | Refer to DYNAMIC TERRAIN (OFF ROAD) PAGES . |
The IPC for this vehicle is located in the instrument panel above the steering column opening. The IPC gauges and indicators are visible through an opening in the IPC bezel and are protected by a clear plastic IPC lens that is secured to the IPC housing by integral latch formations.
This vehicle is equipped with a 10.25" TFT color display IPC. The IPC and HUD accommodate all of the variations of optional equipment and regulatory requirements for the various markets in which the vehicle is offered. The IPC utilizes integrated circuitry and information carried on both the Controller Area Network (CAN).
Gauge illumination is provided by dimmer controlled Light Emitting Diode (LED) units soldered to the IPC circuit board. The gauge set and indicators shown above are an integrated part of the IPC, therefore are only serviced as a unit with the IPC. The IPC mask/lens is the only component of the IPC assembly that can be serviced separately.
For North American (NA) vehicles, the odometer cannot be reset by the plant or dealership. Odometer tampering is protected by only allowing the IPC supplier to reset the odometer.
