Information, Gauge and Warning (13.00)
Instrument Cluster (13.01)
Description
The Driver Information module contains the necessary electronic control units and memories to control, process and
present all necessary vehicle information to the driver.
1. Information on vehicle performance is presented in visible form using the instruments and gauges. These
devices present such information as Vehicle Speed,
Engine Speed, Fuel Level and Coolant Temperature.
2. Information on vehicle status is presented by an array of warning lights.
• Red - indicate immediate danger warnings
• Amber - indicate conditions which are serious but not immediately dangerous
• Green and Blue - indicate normal actuation of items such as turn signals or fog lamps
The message centres and the shift position Sensor
display are used to present information on the distance
recorders (trip meters), current gear mode and current
gear engaged.
3. The right message centre is used to display any warning/ information message text. These text messages may be
reinforced in some cases by illumination of the
appropriate warning lamps.
The following table defines all information and warning
lamps and their significance:

Power Supply (14.00)
Alternator and Regulator System (14.02)
Description
The alternator installed to this vehicle is a Denso, SC1, 120
amp rating, with a 14.4 volt regulator.
The Alternator has an 'Altmon' signal that goes to and from
the PCM via a wire in the 3 way connector.
The ‘Altmon’ signal is monitored by the PCM which adjusts
ignition timing and fuelling if necessary to maintain idle
speed when the alternator is charging.

Electric Distribution/Electronic Control (18.00)
May 2007 Workshop Manual 18-1-9
In a correctly protected circuit, the fuse is placed ‘ Inline’
between the power source in this case the battery and the
lamp. If the lamp goes ‘short circuit’, a massive current will
begin to flow and the fuse will fail causing an open circuit.
The battery and wiring are protected from over current
damage.
Below is the fuse symbol as shown on the circuit diagrams.
The number above the fuse symbol is the fuse number;
allocated to this fuse. The number below the fuse symbol is
the rating.
Resistors
A resistor is an electronic component that by way of its
construction reduces the current flowing through it. A
resistors unit of measure is the Ohm.
The diagrams below show a resi stor and a variable resistor.
Variable Resistors
A variable resistor works in the same manner as a normal
resistor but the resistance values can fluctuate. The
construction of a variable resi stor depends upon its use and
environment.
One example is for the fuel tank level sensor. The tank full
level is 10 ohms and the tank empty level is 204 ohms, the
resistance will vary between 10 and 204 ohms depending on
how much fuel is in the tank.
Lamps
Below is the symbol for a light bulb, shown below the
symbol is the power of the bulb in watts.
Switches
There are numerous of types of switch, several of examples
are shown below.
Normally Open Switch
2 Position Switch
3 Position Switch
Motors and Pumps
The same symbol is used for a pump or a motor, the
description differentiates between them.
