Brake system warning lamp
The brake system warning lamp within the instrument pack utilises a red LED and a clear legend. If the brake fluid
level is low, the hand brake is operated or there is a brake system fault, the LED will be illuminated providing the driver
with a visible warning.
When the ignition is switched on, the instrument pack 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.
There are two configurations of the legend for the warning lamp:
lNAS only.
lAll other markets.
The power input for the LED is supplied by the instrument pack via fuse 27. The hand brake switch, the low brake fluid
level switch or the SLABS ECU provides the earth path illuminating the warning lamp.
The hand brake switch has a separate connection to the vehicle body. The low brake fluid switch connects to an earth
header joint.
On the earth paths to the instrument pack the warning lamp is controlled according to these voltages:
l< 1.8 volts = warning lamp on.
l> 7.7 volts = warning lamp off.

Traction control warning lamp
The traction control warning lamp within the instrument pack utilises a red LED and a clear legend. The traction control
warning lamp informs the driver that the traction control system is enabled. The warning lamp is hard wired to the
SLABS ECU. The SLABS ECU controls the warning lamp on or off via a high or low voltage signal to the instrument
pack.
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.
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 SLABS ECU earth path to the instrument pack is as follows:
l< 1.8 volts = warning lamp on.
l> 7.7 volts = warning lamp off.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 88-25
Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) warning lamp
The SRS warning lamp within the instrument pack utilises a red LED and a clear legend. If a fault within the SRS is
detected, the SRS DCU illuminates the LED, providing the driver with a visible warning.
When the ignition is switched on, the SRS DCU 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. The SRS warning lamp does not output fault
codes.
The power input for the LED is supplied by the instrument pack via fuse 35. The SRS DCU provides the earth path to
illuminate the SRS warning lamp during the 3 second self-check.
The SRS warning lamp is switched on continuously by the instrument pack if the SRS DCU supply voltage is less than
half of the ignition switch voltage, with a tolerance of +2 or -1 volt.
The SRS warning lamp is operated by the SRS DCU if a fault is detected within the supplementary restraint system
circuits. The warning lamp is switched on according to the voltage present in the SRS DCU to instrument pack earth
path as follows:
l< 1.8 volts = warning lamp on.
l> 7.7 volts = warning lamp off.

Off road mode warning lamp
The off road mode warning lamp is available on vehicles equipped with self levelling suspension. The off road mode
warning lamp within the instrument pack utilises an amber LED and a clear legend. On vehicles fitted with self levelling
suspension the driver can enable the function using the off road mode fascia switch.
The SLABS ECU illuminates the LED, 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.
The off road mode is only enabled if the transfer box is in low range.
The off road mode warning lamp will flash at the rate of 2 Hz during the transition phase (up and down), and is
illuminated continuously when at full height.
The vehicle may be parked in off road mode the driver is reminded when the ignition is switched on that off road mode
is still active by the warning lamp flashing twice at a ratio 2 Hz then illuminates continuously.
The warning lamp will flash at 2 Hz in belly out mode. Belly out mode is if the vehicle grounds out, then the suspension
will raise to try and clear the underside of the vehicle.
If a new SLABS ECU is fitted the warning lamp remains illuminated until the ECU has been calibrated using TestBook.
The warning lamp will illuminate continuously if the voltage supply is less than 10 volts for 1 second.
The power input for the LED is supplied by the instrument pack via fuse 27. The warning lamp is switched on
according to the voltage present in the SLABS ECU to instrument pack earth path as follows:
l< 1.8 volts = warning lamp on.
l> 7.7 volts = warning lamp off.
