Avenger V6-2.7L (2008)
The ASBM (3) is located just below the radio (1) and just above the heater and air conditioner controls (2) in the center stack area of the instrument
panel. This switch is available in multiple configurations, which vary from a single momentary push button switch to as many as six momentary push
button switches, depending upon the optional equipment in the vehicle. The pod may include the following switches:
-
Electronic Vehicle Information Center Function Buttons
-
Hazard Warning
-
Headlamp Leveling (export only)
-
Heated Seats
-
Electronic Stability Program (ESP) / Traction Control System (TCS) Off
The switch 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. Several of the push buttons feature Light Emitting Diode (LED) units to give the
vehicle operator an indication when the function of that switch is currently active.
Four screws secure the switch to the back of the instrument panel center bezel through integral mounting tabs that are molded into each corner of the
switch housing. The back of the switch housing has an integral connector receptacle containing terminal pins that connect the switch 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 switch provide back lighting for visibility at night, but these
lamps are not serviceable. The individual switches in the ASBM cannot be repaired and are not serviced individually. If any component within the switch
pod is ineffective or damaged, the entire switch pod must be replaced.
