Instrument Panel Cluster Programming

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Buick Regal. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

To program and setup an existing or new replacement instrument panel cluster, perform the following procedure:

  1. With a scan tool, access the Service Programming System (SPS) and follow the on-screen instructions. Refer to Service Programming System (SPS) 
  2. On the SPS Supported Controllers screen, select IPC Instrument Cluster - Programming and follow the on-screen instructions.
  3. On the SPS Supported Controllers screen, select IPC Instrument Cluster - Configuration and follow the on-screen instructions.
  4. On the SPS Supported Controllers screen, select IPC Instrument Cluster - Setup and follow the on-screen instructions.

If the instrument panel cluster fails to accept the program, verify all scan tool and instrument panel cluster connections are secure.

NOTE: After programming is completed, perform the following to avoid future misdiagnosis:
  1. Turn the ignition OFF for 10 seconds.
  2. Open and close the door.
  3. Connect the scan tool to the data link connector.
  4. Ignition ON, engine OFF.
  5. With a scan tool, clear all DTC's from all modules.
