Module, Integrated Center Stack (ICSM): Description
The Integrated Center Stack (ICS) Module is located in the center of the instrument panel below the radio. This ICS is available in multiple configurations, which vary depending upon the equipment in the vehicle.
The ICS housing and the push buttons are constructed of molded plastic. Each push button has a smooth finish and is clearly identified with the appropriate text and International Control and Display Symbol icons. Refer to INTERNATIONAL VEHICLE CONTROL AND DISPLAY SYMBOLS, DESCRIPTION . Several of the push buttons feature Light Emitting Diode (LED) units to give the vehicle operator an indication when the function of that button is currently active. The back of the ICS housing has an integral connector receptacle containing terminals that connect the ICS to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness. Panel lamps dimmer controlled illumination lamps integral to the circuit board within the ICS provide back lighting for visibility at night, but these lamps are not serviceable. The individual buttons and rotary switches cannot be repaired and are not serviced individually. If any component within the ICS is ineffective or damaged, the entire ICS will need to be replaced.
