TestBook/T4 Diagnostics
No serial diagnostic link is provided with the CARiN III navigation system, so TestBook/T4 cannot interact with the
system.
Vehicle Position
If the vehicle’s battery has been disconnected, or if the vehicle has been transported to a new location on another
vehicle (e.g. by trailer or train), the navigation system will require up to 15 minutes to identify the new position. Entering
the vehicle’s position manually, reduces this delay. To enter the vehicle's position manually:
1Highlight and select Information.
2From the information menu, scroll down to the next screen and highlight and select Vehicle position.
NOTE: If the correct CD is in the navigation computer, the country is automatically entered. If you have travelled
to a new country, a new CD may be needed.
3From the vehicle position menu, highlight and select City, then use the typewriter menu to enter the vehicle’s
position (town, road, etc.) in the same way that you would enter a destination.
4Once the town and road names are entered, the navigation computer asks for a junction. This is the name of the
road that forms the next junction ahead of the vehicle.
5Highlight and select Junction, then enter the name using the typewriter, or select the correct road name if a list
of names is displayed. Crossing the junction will be highlighted. Drive the vehicle in the direction of the junction
and press the rotary controller when you reach the junction.
NOTE: The vehicle position menu provides a street map facility which enables you to check your vehicle’s current
position and assists in identifying the name of the next road junction.
Provided that the information entered into the computer is correct, the navigation system requires approximately 1
minute to determine the vehicle's position.
Navigation and Trafficmaster
Road navigation and off-road navigation are accessed from the main menu by highlighting and selecting the
appropriate title with the rotary controller. In both modes of navigation, this brings up a safety notice on the display
unit. Pushing the rotary controller again accepts the safety notice and replaces it with a menu screen, which is the
entry point for operation of the navigation function. The Trafficmaster function only operates in the road navigation
mode, and is activated and de-activated by pushing and holding the menu switch for more than 0.5 second. When
activating the Trafficmaster function, the system returns to the navigation mode if the menu switch is not released
within 1.5 seconds.
Refer to the Owner Handbook: Navigation, CARiN III & Traffic Master, Publication Part No. LRL 0586ENG for full
details of how to operate the road navigation, off-road navigation and Trafficmaster functions.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 88-7
LCD odometer/trip meter
The LCD has 3 different display elements:
lOdometer.
lTrip meter.
lSelected gear (on vehicles with automatic gearboxes).
The odometer displays units in either miles or kilometres. It has a range from 0 to 999,999 units, only full units are
displayed irrespective of the type of units selected, the display will stop at 999,999 units. TestBook can be used to
reset the odometer. This is allowed only once and must be carried out before 150 miles (240 km) from new, after this
distance the feature is disabled. The odometer may lose up to one km (0.6 miles) when the battery is reconnected,
this is due to the software incorporated into the instrument pack to prevent anyone tampering with the odometer
reading.
The trip meter displays units in either miles or kilometres and has a range of 0.0 to 999.9 units. The display rolls over
from 999.9 to 0.0 units. Units down to one tenth of a mile or one tenth of a kilometre are displayed. The trip meter
displays 0.0 when the battery is reconnected or charged from a discharged state.
A push button located next to the LCD is utilised to reset the trip meter to zero and to change the units from miles to
kilometres. Pressing the button for less than 2 seconds allows the display to reset to zero. Pressing the button for
more than 2 seconds changes the units from miles to kilometres and vice versa. The units will only change for UK,
NAS and Canadian market vehicles.
The selected gear displays when the automatic gearbox is in park, reverse, neutral, drive 3,2,1, by using the letters
or numbers PRND321 in the display.
The data input for the LCD odometer/trip meter is from the SLABS ECU for the distance input and from the BCU for
the gear position. The instrument pack provides the earth path to illuminate the gear position warning lamp.
If a replacement instrument pack is required TestBook must be used to retrieve the odometer reading, so that when
the new instrument pack is fitted the odometer reading can be programmed in.

INSTRUMENTS
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 88-17
Main beam warning lamp
The main beam warning lamp within the instrument pack utilises a clear 14 volt 2 watt long life bulb and a blue legend.
The bulb illuminates when the headlamps are switched to main beam, providing the driver with a visible warning.
There is no self-test performed at ignition on for this warning lamp.
Operating the main beam switch provides the Intelligent Driver Module (IDM) with battery voltage. This feed activates
the IDM to supply the power for the main beam warning lamp. The earth path is provided through the instrument pack.

INSTRUMENTS
88-30 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Water sensor
On vehicles with diesel engines a water sensor is located in the bottom of the fuel filter. The sensor utilises the
different resistance properties between water and diesel fuel to determines the presence of water in the fuel.
The sensor receives a battery voltage supply from the fuel pump relay. The sensor output is supplied to the instrument
pack. The water sensor provides the earth path to illuminate the warning lamp.
l< 1.8 volts = warning lamp on.
l> 7.7 volts = warning lamp off.

INSTRUMENTS
88-36 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Self Levelling Suspension (SLS) warning lamp
The SLS warning lamp within the instrument pack utilises an amber LED and a clear legend. The SLABS ECU
illuminates the LED continuously if a fault within the SLS is detected, providing the driver with a visible warning.
When the ignition is switched on the SLABS ECU illuminates the LED to provide a self-check, providing there is no
fault it will remain illuminated for 3 seconds or until the ignition is switched off.
On vehicles equipped with coil springs the SLS warning lamp is extinguished after 850 milliseconds if the SLABS ECU
configuration of the vehicle is correct.
The SLS warning lamp flashes at 2 Hz when the remote handset control is used to raise or lower the ride height.
If a new SLABS ECU is installed the SLS warning lamp will remain illuminated until the ECU has been calibrated by
TestBook.
The warning lamp will illuminate continuously when battery voltage is less than 10 volts for greater than 1 second.
When the vehicle is in transportation mode the SLS warning lamp is illuminated continuously with ignition on, and will
flash at 2 Hz frequency as the vehicle rises from bump stop level to transport level on engine start.
The power input for the LED is supplied by the instrument pack via fuse 27. The SLABS ECU provides the earth path
to illuminate the warning lamp.
The voltage on the earth path from the SLABS ECU to the instrument pack has the following functions:
l< 1.8 volts = warning lamp on.
l> 7.7 volts = warning lamp off.

1Cover
2Electrical connector
3Mounting bracket
4Light sensor5Compass LED display
6Compass calibration switch
7Compass printed circuit board
Certain vehicles have an interior rear view mirror that features an automatic photochromatic dimming function and an
electronic compass with LED display.
The compass mirror is a self-contained unit and does not interface with any other vehicle system or electronic control
unit. The mirror is fixed to a metal bracket attached to the windscreen.
A three pin connector provides the electrical connection to the mirror's internal circuit board. Pin-1 of the connector
provides the 12V power supply to the board via the auxiliary relay located in the engine compartment fusebox. When
the ignition switch is turned to the 'II' position, a 12V supply is provided to energise the coil of the auxiliary relay via
fuse 26 in the passenger compartment fusebox. The auxiliary relay's contact supply voltage is provided from the
vehicle battery through fusible links 1 & 7. When the relay's contacts close, a 12V supply is fed to the compass mirror
circuit board via fuse 15 in the passenger compartment fusebox. This is the supply voltage feed for the mirror's internal
compass.
Pin-2 of the electrical connector provides the path to earth.
Pin-3 of the electrical connector is a 12V ignition switched supply voltage (position 'II' of the ignition switch). The
supply voltage is provided to the mirror's circuit board via fuse 25 in the passenger compartment fusebox, and the
reverse lamp switch (normally closed) for vehicles with manual transmission or the starter inhibitor / reverse light
switch (normally closed) for vehicles with automatic transmission. This is the supply voltage feed for the mirror's
photochromatic dimming function.
