INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

CAUTION:

• If configuration is not performed when the instrument cluster is replaced with a new one, the vehicle specification information is not stored in the instrument cluster and the system will not operate normally.

• When performing configuration, it is necessary to read the vehicle specification information from the instrument cluster before replacing it. Connect the M-MDS to the vehicle and perform vehicle identification before removing the instrument cluster. The vehicle specification information is temporarily stored in the M-MDS.

NOTE:

• The instrument cluster prior to replacement stores the vehicle specification information.

• A new instrument cluster does not store any vehicle specification information.

• If the vehicle specification information from the instrument cluster prior to replacement cannot be read, perform the configuration using As-Built data.

1. When replacing the instrument cluster, perform the configuration. (See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CONFIGURATION (USING READ/WRITE FUNCTION).)

NOTE:

• If reading of the vehicle specification information cannot be performed, perform the configuration using As-Built data after replacing the instrument cluster. (See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CONFIGURATION (USING AS-BUILT DATA).)
