IPC Output Override Displays

IPC Output Override Displays contain information on default option conditions for the vehicle. These default conditions Include:
^ DIC message display suppression
^ Optional Equipment Installations
^ Export Country
^ HVAC Mode Selections

NOTICE: An B1557 DTC will be set if the flowing procedure is not followed. An B1557 is not recoverable and the IPC will have to be rep laced. If, while performing the flowing procedure, the "OFF" button is pressed and the IPC displays "IPC CLEAR CODES" Exit on board diagnostics and start over. This will reset the options back to their original settings and prevent B1557 from setting.

The current value of a particular override will be displayed on the Trip Odometer location, To enable a feature listed below, add the value of the new feature (shone on the right) to the value shown on the Trip Odometer. Move up by pressing "WARMER" (Digital IPC) or "PASSENGER WARMER" (analog IPC). Move down by pressing "COOLER" (Digital IPC) or "PASSENGER COOLER" (analog IPC). To permanently store the changes, press and hold "FRONT DEFROST" and "AUTO/ECON" (Digital IPC) or "FRONT DEFROST" and "A\C" (analog IPC) until the value on the Trip Odometer flashes once (approximately five seconds).
