Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Removal And Installation: Installation
- Position the IPC (2) close enough to the instrument panel to access and connect the instrument panel wire harness connector to the receptacle on the back of the cluster housing.
- Install and securely tighten the four screws (1) that secure the IPC (2) to the instrument panel.
- Install the instrument cluster bezel. Refer to BEZEL, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
- Connect the negative battery cable. If equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS), connect the IBS connector.
If this Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is being replaced with a new unit, a diagnostic scan tool MUST be used to determine if alignment of the PROXI configuration data into the new ECU is needed. If PROXI alignment is needed, follow the routine outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROXI Configuration Alignment under the Body Control Module (BCM) Miscellaneous Functions menu. Once the PROXI Configuration has been completed, tire pressure placard values must be programmed in the RF Hub under "Update Front and Rear Axle Nominal Tire Pressure Values". If this routine is not completed, the new IPC will display "0 PSI" for tire pressure values as default.
