Instrument Cluster Replacement
When it is necessary to install a new instrument cluster, contact the Instrument Cluster Program.
Gauge Indication Systems
Tachometer
Engine rpm information is relayed to the instrument cluster from the powertrain control module (PCM)
over the standard corporate protocol (SCP) network.
Speedometer
The instrument cluster receives the vehicle speed signal from the PCM over the SCP network and
displays it on the speedometer gauge. If the instrument cluster receives no vehicle speed signal after
one second, the speedometer defaults to 0.0 km/h (0.0 mph).
Odometer
The instrument cluster receives an odometer message from the PCM and stores the mileage in
memory. When the instrument cluster fails to receive the odometer message for more than two
seconds, the odometer will display dashes.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel sender is hardwired to the fuel gauge. When the instrument cluster fails to receive the fuel
level signal for more than 33 seconds, the fuel level gauge will move below E (empty). If the fuel level
signal operates correctly for more than 33 seconds, the fuel gauge will return to the correct position.
Fuel fills of less than 9.5 liters (2.5 gallons) require at least 10 minutes to update the fuel gauge
indication.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
Engine coolant temperature information is received by the instrument cluster from the PCM over the
SCP network. Engine coolant temperatures above 121°C (250°F) will cause the gauge to indicate
above the normal band. If the engine coolant temperature information is missing or invalid for five
seconds, the temperature gauge will indicate below the cold (C) position.
Voltage Gauge (except Cobra)
The voltage gauge displays the system voltage as measured at the instrument cluster run input. Boost Gauge (Cobra only) Klj . 2 ba

The right and left turn indicators will illuminate when the steering column multifunction switch is in
either turn signal position or hazard lamps position by sending a battery signal to the instrument
cluster.
AIR BAG Warning Indicator
The AIR BAG warning indicator will be illuminated when the restraint control module (RCM) sends a
ground signal to the instrument cluster. The prove-
out of the AIR BAG warning indicator is controlled
by the RCM.
THEFT Indicator
The THEFT indicator provides a passive anti- theft system (PATS) prove-out. The THEFT indicator will
prove out for three seconds following the ignition switch cycle and will flash following an ignition switch
OFF transition to indicate that PATS is active.
Charging System Indicator
The charging system indicator will be illuminated when the generator provides a ground signal to the
instrument cluster. The instrument cluster provides a prove- out when the ignition switch is in the RUN
position with the engine off. When the engine is started, the generator removes the ground to the
instrument cluster and extinguishes the charging system indicator.
Overdrive Off (O/D OFF) Indicator
The O/D OFF indicator is controlled by the off/on message sent from the PCM over the SCP network.
The instrument cluster does not provide a prove- out for the O/D OFF indicator, but will remain
illuminated if the overdrive has been commanded off following the instrument cluster prove- out.
Traction Control Indicator
During initialization, the instrument cluster will receive the traction control system state status message
from the traction control module to determine if the vehicle is equipped with traction control. If the
vehicle is equipped with traction control, this information will be stored in random access memory
(RAM) and the indicator will prove out for three seconds during each ignition cycle. If this message is
not received, the instrument cluster will assume that the vehicle is not traction control equipped and
the indicator will remain off. When the traction control is active, the traction control module sends the
instrument cluster a traction control active signal and the instrument cluster illuminates the traction
control indicator. When the traction control is inactive, the traction control module removes the traction
control active signal and the instrument cluster turns off the indicator.
In the event of a traction control failure, the traction control indicator will remain off and the ABS
indicator will illuminate.
Inspection and Verification 1. Verify the customer concern.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage.
