Attention:
The purpose of this bulletin is to inform dealership personnel that the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) odometer and engine hour meter (when applicable)
setting will no longer be performed at an Electronic Service Center (ESC). Dealerships will now receive IPCs with the odometer and engine hour meter
not programmed. The technician will be required to note the odometer reading and engine hour (when applicable) values of the original IPC, then use the
SPS application to program these values into the new IPC.
Supercede:
This bulletin is being revised to update the text in Steps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 07-08-49-015C (Section 08 -
Body and Accessories).
Background Information
Previous IPC replacement procedures specify that the odometer and engine hour values be communicated to and programmed by the Electronic Service
Centers (ESC) into the replacement IPC at the time the replacement is ordered. This required the vehicle to be parked after the replacement IPC is
ordered so that no additional mileage can be accumulated on the vehicle while the new IPC is in transit to the dealership. Improvements to the TIS2WEB
SPS application will now allow IPC odometer and engine hour programming to be performed as an additional function of the IPC programming event.
This new process will allow the vehicle to be returned to the customer, if necessary, and driven while waiting for the replacement IPC to arrive at the
dealership. Odometer and engine hour values will no longer be communicated to the ESC for programming purposes but ESCs still need the odometer
value for warranty reporting. Dealerships will now receive a replacement IPC with the odometer and engine hour values NOT programmed. The
technician will be required to note the odometer and engine hour values of the original IPC, then use the TIS2WEB SPS application to program these
values into the replacement IPC. The odometer and engine hour programming will now be included as a normal part of the IPC replacement procedure in
SI.
Odometer and Engine Hour Programming Procedure Information
-
If the original IPC odometer value cannot be obtained from the customer's vehicle, follow local and federal regulations regarding unknown
odometer mileage situations.
-
Because the odometer and engine hour values can now be read from the original IPC and programmed into the replacement IPC during the same
visit, the customer's vehicle will no longer need to be parked until the replacement IPC is received from an ESC.
-
Avalanche, Escalade, Sierra, Silverado, H2, Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon vehicles will also require the engine hour data to be recorded for transfer
to the replacement IPC. The replacement IPC may already have engine hours showing. This does not affect the IPC Setup procedure. Bravada,
Envoy, Rainier and TrailBlazer vehicles do not support the calculation or display of engine hour data.
-
Ensure that the correct odometer value is entered when prompted. Once programming is complete, the odometer and engine hour values, when
applicable cannot be changed.
-
By default, the application odometer entry will be set to: miles. For metric units, click the button on the left next to: Kilometers.
Service Procedure
Important
The replacement IPC requires IPC Setup procedures and SPS programming to be performed. Legacy Pass-Thru will no longer be
