Fault Indication:
0 ABS MIL lamp illuminates on 'pull-away' or during driving
U:
Possible Causes
Faulty sensor or wiring.
Faulty rotor or wheel bearing installation giving inconsistent signals to
ABS / TC CM.
Fault Diagnosis
Check sensor installation for:
Security of sensor lead fixing bolt.
Damage to sensor lead.
Possible damage to rotor.
Excessive play in wheel bearing.
Intermittent faults caused by poor harness connection or damage.
It is IikelythattheTC MIL lamp andTraction OFF lamp will also illuminate on vehicles with traction control fitted.
Fault Indication:
TC MIL lamp only is still illuminated after ignition switch on and instrument pack self test.
Possible Causes - Faulty throttle position actuator.
Faulty actuator potentiometer.
Faulty wiring.
Fault Diagnosis
Disconnect flying lead to actuator motor bi-pin connector and measure motor resistance, reading should be approxi- mately 1.6Q. Renew actuator if value is excessive or short circuit.
Disconnect actuator potentiometer and measure resistance across pins 1 and 3, reading should be approximately 6.4kQ. Renew actuator if value indicates open or short circuit. If value is correct, operate accelerator pedal while
measuring resistance between pins 1 and 2, readings should vary in accordance with pedal travel.
. With the ignition switch ON, measure voltage across harness connections to potentiometer pins 1 and 3, reading
should be
5V+ 0.5V. If a voltage below 4.5 Vis recorded ensure that supply fuses are intact and all connections secure
before renewing harness.
m: Examine ABS MIL lamp at ignition switch-on. If lamp illuminates briefly, then goes out the supply fuses will
be intact. If lamp does not illuminate at all supply fuses may be blown, or MIL lamp may be faulty.
. Check continuity between harness connection to potentiometer pin 2 and pin 26 of 28-way multi-pug connector to
ABS I TC CM.
Fault Indication:
TC MIL lamp only is still illuminated 8 seconds after ignition switch on.
Possible Causes
Faulty harness or TCS switch.
Fault Diagnosis
= Check pin 18 of 28 way multi-plug connector is not shorted to ground.

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.

15.2.6 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.
