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.

15.2.3.8 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.
