15.2 INSTRUMENTS
15.2.1 Introduction
The instrument pack is a self-contained, removable unit, which incorporates all the main display gauges and warning
indicators that are used to present vehicle condition information. The instrument pack is programmed during vehicle
build, to match the vehicle's individual requirements using 'Programmable Electronic Control Units System'
(PECUS). This is achieved via the diagnostic communication line, and therefore, should be renewed like-for-like. The primary
function of the instrument display is to provide the driver with information usual to normal driving requirements. The
secondary function is to display trip computer information.
The trip computer functions are selected via the steering column stalk switch
(LH). The messages are displayed in the
following order:
Odometer
- Distance - Range - Fuel Used -Average Fuel -Average Speed - Instant Fuel - Odometer (return).
Two trip computer switches, 'Reset' and 'Odo', are incorporated into the facia switch panel.
Instrument pack information is received from sensors positioned
at various locations about the vehicle (Fig. 1, follow-
ing page) via one of the two multi-pin sockets located at the rear of the instrument pack.
Information concerning vehicle condition and operation is displayed in one of three ways:
0 Information necessary to confirm normal vehicle operation: road speed, engine speed, oil pressure, battery
condition, fuel level, coolant temperature. This information is displayed using analogue gauges.
0 Information indicating the presence of a hazard/fault condition (low oil pressure/door open etc.) or operational
action (indicator flashing / headlamp full beam 'on' etc.). This information is provided by twenty two warning
lampsltell-tales, arranged in four groups; two groups of seven at the left and right sides of the instrument pack
and two groups of four
at the bottom of the instrument pack.
0 A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is located at the bottom-centre of the instrument pack and is normally used to
display the odometer reading, but it can also be used to display SRS fault conditions and trip computer informa-
tion such as vehicle speed, fuel usage and distance travelled.

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.
Battery Voltage Gauge and Warning lamp
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.

15.2.3.8 Trip Computer
The instrument pack provides the trip computer functions, selected via the momentary stalk input and two action in- puts: 'Reset' and 'Odo'.
The signal used for each function are:
Distance:
Computed from the speed signal from the ABS control module.
Average Speed
Computed from the speed signal from the ABS control module.
Fuel Used
Computed from a pulsed signal from the engine management system.
Average Fuel Consumption
Computed from the speed signal and the fuel used signal.
Range
Computed from the speed signal, the fuel used signal and fuel level.
instantaneous Fuel
Computed from the speed signal and the fuel used signal.
15.2.4 PRIMARY WARNING LAMPS - ILLUMINATED RED
15.2.4.1 Exhaust Temperature (Japan only)
The exhaust temperature input (pin 23,48 way connector) is provided by the catalyst switching module (pin 6), which
pulls the line low when a fault occurs.
15.2.4.2 Low Oil Pressure
This signal comes direct from the variable resistance type oil pressure sensor. The sensor resistancevalues range from
7552 to 310Q.
15.2.4.3 Seat Selt
The seat belt input (pin 15,48 way connector) is provided by the seat belt stalk switch, via the body processor unit
(pin 26).
The seat belt lamp will illuminate when
a low signal is seen on the instrument pack input.
15.2.4.4 Trunk Lid Open
A microswitch located in the trunk lid lock provides a signal (pin 16,4&wayconnector) causing the trunk lid open indi- cator to illuminate whenever the trunk lid is opened or not closed correctly.
The trunk lid open indicator will illuminate when
a low signal is seen on the instrument pack input.
15.2.4.5 Door Ajar
Switches located in each door closing mechanism supply signals to indicate when any door is either open, or has not
been closed correctly. The system operates from two signals; an input from the driver's door (pin 46, 48-way con- nector) or a combined signal input from the passenger doors (pin 47,4&way connector).
The door ajar lamp will illuminate when
a low signal is detected on either of the two inputs.

15.2.4.6 Engine Coolant Level
This signal (pin 37,48-way connector) comes from the coolant level switch, mounted in the lower face of the coolant
header tank. The switch is normally in the closed position, providing
a low signal to the instrument pack, when the
coolant level is acceptable. If the coolant level drops, the switch will open, removing the low signal and illuminating
the indicator lamp.
15.2.4.7 SRS Air bag fault
The input signal (pin 45, 48 way connector) is provided by the SRS Diagnostic Module.
WARNING: REFER TO SECTION 15, SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM, BEFORE AlTEMPTlNG ANY DIAGNOSTIC
WORK ON SYSTEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
SRS.
15.2.4.8 Charging Fault
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.
15.2.4.9 Brake System Fault (red)
The brakesystem fault receives a signal (pin 10,4&wayconnector)from the fluid level switch located in the brake fluid
reservoir. The switch is normally in the closed position, providing a low signal to the instrument pack, when the brake
fluid level is acceptable. If the fluid level drops, the switch will open, removing the lowsignal and illuminating the indi
- cator lamp.
15.2.4.10 Park Brake (red)
Park brake warning is indicated on application of the brake, which closes a micro-switch within the park brake handle
assembly. The signal to the instrument pack (pin 17, &way connector) is low when the park brake is applied and il- luminating the indicator lamp.

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.

15.2.6 STATUS AND WARNING LAMPS
15.2.6.1 Transmission Sport Mode (green)
The transmission sport mode indicator is controlled by a signal from the Transmission Control Module (TCM). The
indicator is illuminated whenever 'Sport' mode is selected; a low signal is sent to the instrument pack (pin 14,48-way connector).
15.2.6.2 Traction Control OFF (green)
Two traction control lamps are provided: control fail and control off. Both lamps are controlled from one input from
the ABS I 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.
15.2.6.3
The operation of the direction indicator 'tell-tales' is controlled by the BPU. The 'tell-tales' are the only indicators on
the instrument pack which can be illuminated with the ignition OFF, for hazard warning.
The signal from the BPU to the instrument pack is pulsed, switching the direction indicators on and
off at the correct
frequency. The 'tell-tales'will illuminate when the signal is low. If the frequency doubles, this signifies that an exterior
direction indicator bulb has failed; the bulb failure warning lamp should also be illuminated.
The signal is fed to two separate inputs to the instrument pack, on the 48
-way connector; pin 40 for LH directional indi- cator 'tell-tale' and pin 41 for RH.
!We: If both direction indicator 'tell-tales' are permanently illuminated; this indicates that the BPU has not been
PECUS programmed. Check that a PECUS label is attached to the BPU.
Direction Indicators - LH & RH (green)
15.2.6.4 Main Beam (blue)
A low signal is supplied to the instrument pack (pin 24,48-way, connector) from the BPU when main beam is selected.
This illuminates the main beam 'tell-tail' indicator lamp.
