15.2.3 COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
15.2.3.1 Speedometer
The speed indication input signal, sent as a pulse rate, is generated by an open collectortransistor within the ABS con- trol module. The instrument pack converts the frequency of this signal to drive the speedometer and to provide two
road speed outputs:
Speed output
1 (pin 2,48 way connector)
This output is connected to the radio head unit, security control module and the power steering module.
Speed output 2 (pin
3,48 way connector)
This output is connected to the body processor unit, cruise control control module, air conditioning control module
and the engine management system.
15.2.3.2 Tachometer
The tachometer input, all engine variants, is provided by the engine management control module. When the engine
is running the control module generates three high state pulses per engine revolution.
15.2.3.3
This signal comes direct from the variable resistance type oil pressure sensor, mounted on the engine. The sensor
resistance values range from 75Q (8 Bar) to 330Q (0 Bar).
When the gauge reaches
a pre-determined reading the instrument pack illuminates the warning light.
Engine Oil Pressure and Warning lamp
15.2.3.4 Engine Coolant Temperature
This signal comes direct from the coolant temperature sensor (variable resistance type), mounted on the engine. The
sensor resistance values range from 34Q (hot) to 241Q (cold), when disconnected from the vehicle.
Note: The coolant temperature gauge is calibrated to indicate at approximately 'Normal' for a wide range of normal
engine operating temperatures.
15.2.3.5 Fuel Tank level Gauge and Warning lamp
This signal (pin 20,24-way connector) comes direct from the variable resistor type fuel level sensor. The sensor resis- tance values range from 80 ohms (full tank) to 900 ohms (empty tank).
When the gauge reaches a pre
-determined reading, the instrument pack illuminates the warning lamp.
15.2.3.6
Battery voltage is displayed on the gauge by measuring the ignition voltage.
The red charge warning lamp will illuminate if either the voltage is too low (below
10.5V) or too high (above 15.5V). In addition, the generator provides a low signal to the instrument pack (pin 9,48-way connector) when battery charging
is unsatisfactory.

15.2.3.7 Liquid Crystal Display
A single line, six digit, 7 segment display with six trip function flags used for odometer, trip computer and driver mess- ages.
!Y,Q&: If the instrument pack has not been PECUS programmed, the back illumination of the LCD will not switch on.
Check that a PECUS label is attached to the back of the pack.

15.2.5 SECONDARY WARNING LAMPS - ILLUMINATED AMBER
15.2.5.1 Transmission Fault
The transmission fault indicator is controlled by a signal from the Transmission Control Module (TCM). The signal to
the instrument pack (pin 44,48-way connector) is switched high when a transmission fault occurs, and the indicator
lamp is illuminated.
15.2.5.2 Washer Fluid Level
The washer fluid level sensor, mounted in the fluid reservoir, provides a signal (pin 13, 48-way connector) when the
amount of fluid drops below a predetermined level. The switch is normally in the closed position, providing a low sig-
nal to the instrument pack, when the fluid level is acceptable. If the fluid level drops, the switch will open, removing
the low signal and illuminating the indicator lamp.
15.2.5.3 Bulb Fail
Bulb failure indication is controlled from two different sources:
If a direction indicator lamp fails, a signal is sent to the instrument pack (pin 18,48-way connector) from the Body. :o- cessor Unit (BPU). The signal is normally low but switched high if a bulb failure occurs; thuscausing the bulbfail indica-
If any of the other bulbs, monitored by the three lamp control modules, fail, a signal is sent direct to the instrument
pack (pin 43, 48-way connector). The signal is normally low but switched high if a bulb failure occurs; thus causing
the bulb failure indicator lamp to illuminate.
tor lamp to illuminate.
15.2.5.4 Traction Control Fail
Two traction control lamps are provided: control fail and control off. Both lamps are controlled from one input from
the ABS / TC Control Module.
Under normal operating conditions, the input signal should be high.
If the input line is continuously low, traction con- trol has failed and both lamps will illuminate. If the input signal is a 4 Hz square wave the traction control system is
switched off, therefore the ‘traction off lamp will illuminate.
15.2.5.5 Anti-lock Fail
The input to the instrument pack (pin 7,24-way connector) is provided by the ABS Control Module. The warning lamp
illuminates if the signal voltage is less than 5.0 volts or greater than 11.9 volts.
- 15.2.5.6 Low Fuel Level
This signal (pin 20,24-way connector) comes direct from the variable resistor type fuel level sensor. The sensor resis-
tance values range from 80 ohms (full tank) to 900 ohms (empty tank).
When the gauge reaches
a pre-determined reading, the instrument pack illuminates the warning lamp.
15.2.5.7 Check Engine
The ’checkeng’ indicator will illuminate when the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects a fault within the system, and
sends a signal to the instrument pack (pin 22,48-wayconnector). The signal line is pulled low by the ECM when a fault
is detected.
The indicator lamp will illuminate during each ignition cycle, until the engine fires.

indication. If fluid levels are within limits on checking proceed to step 2.
Check connections to sensor are correct and secure. For battery gauge only check battery voltage is present at the
battery terminal posts.
Check resistance of sensor (if applicable) to ground, correct readings are as detailed in the following table:
