Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)

The BCM stores and compares vehicle configuration data with the IPC, as well as with other vehicle ECUs.

The IPC circuitry operates on battery current received through a fused B(+) fuse on a non-switched fused B(+) circuit. This arrangement allows the IPC to remain functional regardless of the status of the ignition state. The IPC circuitry is grounded through a ground circuit and take out of the instrument panel wire harness with an eyelet terminal connector that is secured by a ground screw to a ground location on the instrument panel structural support.

The IPC gauges, indicators, LED units, control switches as well as the electronic display unit are all integral components of the IPC and its electronic circuit board. If any part of the IPC is damaged or ineffective the entire IPC assembly must be replaced.
