IPC Replacement

Important: The original odometer reading, together with other important vehicle parameters, must be programmed into the replacement instrument cluster. If a replacement cluster has been fitted to a vehicle it will require programming, the vehicle type must be selected followed by the country and then the engine type. The engine type is required only for some countries and this is highlighted below.

If the instrument panel cluster (IPC) is replaced, the following procedures must be performed in the order shown:

  1. Odometer reprogramming.

    2. Important: The IPC variant configuration must be correct or the performance of the EBCM will be reduced.

  2. Variant configuration.
  3. IPC reprogramming - Refer to Service Programming System (SPS) .

Program Odometer

    Important: It is only possible to reset the odometer reading if no more than 100 km has been registered on the odometer. It is essential to enter the correct odometer value, as the programming of the odometer can only be performed once.

    Important: Programming the odometer is prohibited without TIS approval. Refer to Obtaining TIS Approval for more information.
