Removal and Installation

All vehicles

1. NOTE: It is critical that the correct Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) be installed when installing a new IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster). The IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) differs between Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) vehicles equipped with Intelligent Access (IA) and vehicles not equipped with IA (Intelligent Access). If the incorrect IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) is installed, the vehicle may exhibit a PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) no-start condition.

NOTE: If installing a new non IA (Intelligent Access) IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster), all vehicle keys are erased during the parameter reset procedure. Verify at least 2 of the vehicle keys are available prior to carrying out this procedure.
If installing a new Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC), upload the module configuration to the scan tool.

Failure to carry out the parameter reset to the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) and the PCM may result in a no start condition.
If installing a new IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) on vehicles that are not equipped with IA (Intelligent Access), carry out the parameter reset procedure. For additional information, refer to Antitheft and Alarm Systems. Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS)
