Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC): Removal

NOTE: It is critical that the correct Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) be installed when installing a new IPC.

If the incorrect IPC is installed, the vehicle may exhibit a PATS no-start condition.

  1. If installing a new IPC, upload the module configuration information to the scan tool. For additional information, refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION .
  2. Remove the instrument cluster finish panel. For additional information, refer to INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONSOLE .
  3. Lower the tilt steering column to the lowest setting.
  4. Remove the 2 screws and the IPC.
    • Disconnect the electrical connector.
