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.

15.2.4.6 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.

15.4 DRIVER ERGONOMICS
15.4.1 System Description
Adjustment of the seats, steering column and exterior rear view mirrors position is effected by means of control
switches. The switches maintain the adjustment facility while depressed, movement ceasing when the switch is re- leased.
Manual adjustment can be achieved either with the ignition key in place or with the driver‘s door open, or having been
closed within the last
30 seconds.
The system offers the following facilities:
Entry
/ Exit mode; an automatic seat /column position setting for ease of driver entry into / exit from the vehicle.
Driving position set; automatic recall of up to three preferred settings.
Passenger seat set; automatic recall of up to three preferred settings.
Remote recall; automatic recall of up to two memory positions from
a remote transmitter (in key fob).
Reverse mirror dip; automatic adjustment of passenger rear view mirror when reversing.
U: Vehicles intended for the Japanese market are fitted with an additional ‘fold away’ mirror function. This func- tion allows mirrors to fold flat against the car when parking in enclosed areas.
15.4.1.1 Entry/ Exit Mode
Entry / Exit mode is designed to give easier vehicle entry and exit for the driver. The facility is selected by positioning
the mode switch, located on the LH side of the column cowl, to ‘auto’ which designates the current seat / column posi- tion, ie driving positions, as the memorized position. On removal of ignition key or opening of driver‘s door, with igni- tion key still in place, the driver’s seat will move to the rear (current position allowing) and the column will adopt ‘tilt
away’ mode automatically creating additional space for driver exit
/ entry. Insertion of key in ignition or closure of
driver‘s door (with ignition key in place) returns seat / column positions to the memorized (previous) position.
Operation of eitherthe brake pedal or
seat/column manual controls during entry/exit mode execution will abort posi- tional adjustments. Setting the mode switch to OFF disables operation of entry / exit mode.
15.4.1.2 Driving Position Set
Setting of seat, column and external rear view mirrors to preferred driving position is available using the memory but- tons located on the drivers door switch pack. With the ignition key in place enter settings to be memorized as follows:
Adjust seat, column and mirrors to desired positions.
Press the ’memory’ button
so that it becomes illuminated.
Press button
1,2 or 3 to store configuration within four seconds of memory button operation. Memory light will extin- guish and a chime will sound, indicating procedure complete.
The above procedure may be repeated two more times until each button
(1,2 & 3) has a preferred position stored in
memory, accommodating different driver settings. Operation of any push-button (1,2 or 3) will re-position seat col-
umn and mirrors to the stored settings.
Memory recall will operate under the following conditions:
. Ignition key in and gear selector in park.
8 Ignition key in and handbrake on.
8 Ignition key out and driver’s door open (or having been closed within the last 30 seconds).
Re
-setting the preferred position on any setting button automatically erases previously stored information. Memory
information is not erased if power supply to the seat and column / mirror control modules is lost (e.g. battery discon- nected).
15.4.1.3 Passenger Seat Set
The procedure for setting and recalling a preferred passenger seat position is identical to that for a driving position.
Memory recall will only operate with ignition key in auxiliary position or passenger door open, or having been closed
within the last
30 seconds.
