BODY CONTROL UNIT
86-3-34 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The ignition key interlock option can be programmed in one of three states dependent on market/ customer
requirements, these are:
lOption 1– not fitted.
lOption 2 – normal operation.
lOption 3 – inhibit transfer box.
The BCU checks the status of the following inputs to determine the logic action for operating the ignition key interlock
solenoid:
lTransfer box neutral selected.
lGearbox state.
lTransit mode.
When the transit mode is on, the ignition key interlock solenoid is off.
Transfer box interlock (where fitted)
The transfer box interlock is controlled by the IDM to prevent transfer box shifter operation unless certain
preconditions have been satisfied.
The transfer box interlock prevents the transfer box being shifted from High or Low to neutral with the ignition key
removed from the ignition switch. When the BCU senses that the ignition key is removed from the ignition switch, it
signals the IDM via the serial data bus. The IDM then provides an earth path for the coil of the transfer box relay,
energising the relay coil and closing the relay contacts to provide a voltage supply to the transfer box interlock
solenoid.
A diode is included in the supply line to the solenoid to prevent residual current causing the solenoid to stick in the
energised position.
The transfer box solenoid interlock option can be programmed in one of three states dependent on market/ customer
requirements, these are:
lOption 1– not fitted.
lOption 2 – normal operation.
lOption 3 – inhibit transfer box.
The BCU checks the status of the following inputs to determine the logic action for employing the transfer box interlock
solenoid (transfer box solenoid enable):
lIgnition state.
lGearbox state.
In the event of a communications link failure occurring while the transfer box enable is on, the output will be switched
off.
Gear position switch
On automatic gearbox models, the BCU provides an output which supplies power to the automatic gearbox gear
position switch. The BCU checks for the following inputs before it supplies power:
lIgnition on.
lAuxiliary.
When the ignition is on, the feed to the gear position switch is on. When the ignition is off and auxiliary is off for more
than 30 seconds, feed to the gear position switch is off.

INSTRUMENTS
88-6 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The third warning lamp pack is located in the top right-hand side of the instrument pack and contains the following
warning lamps:
lSRS warning lamp.
lSLS off road mode warning lamp.
lTrailer warning lamp.
lGlow plug warning lamp.
lWater in fuel filter warning lamp.
lSeat belt warning lamp.
lTransmission high temperature warning lamp.
The fourth warning lamp pack is located underneath the tachometer of the instrument pack contains the following
warning lamps:
lOil pressure warning lamp.
lAlternator charge warning lamp.
lHDC fault warning lamp.
lSelf Levelling Suspension (SLS) warning lamp.
lActive Cornering Enhancement (ACE) warning lamp.
lGearbox manual/sport mode warning lamps.
The serial communication link is used to allow information to travel to and from the instrument pack, and it provides
the ability to configure the instrument pack to a specific market. It also allows the instrument pack to be controlled by
TestBook for diagnostics.
There are five market specific variants of the instrument pack:
lUnited Kingdom (UK).
lNorth American Specification (NAS).
lCanada.
lAustralia.
lRest Of the World (ROW), Gulf and Japan.
The main difference between the five markets is that the speedometer will indicate road speed in mph as major figures
and km/h as minor figures, km/h as major figures and mph as minor figures or km/h only.
When TestBook is used to diagnose the instrument pack it demands each of the dials and warning lamps to operate
in-turn so a visual check of their operation can be made.
CAUTION: The instrument pack must not be stored on its face side at any time. This is because the dials have
damping fluid within them to ensure smooth operation of the dials' indicator needles. This fluid will leak out.
Speedometer
The speedometer informs the driver of the current vehicle road speed. It has a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) to show
odometer, trip meter and, on automatic gearbox models, the selected gear. The speedometer will not show speeds
of less than 1.5 mph (2.5 km/h).
There are three different market configurations:
lNAS and UK = mph as major figures km/h as minor figures.
lCanada = km/h as major figures mph as minor figures.
lROW and Australia = km/h only.
The Self Levelling and Anti-Lock Brake System (SLABS) ECU provides the signal input for the road speed. The signal
is at 8000 pulses per mile (1.6 kilometres).

INSTRUMENTS
88-32 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Transmission high temperature warning lamp
The transmission high temperature warning lamp within the instrument pack utilises a red LED and a clear legend.
On vehicles fitted with automatic gearboxes, the transmission high temperature warning lamp is utilised to provide the
driver with a visible warning that the automatic gearbox oil has exceeded a normal operating temperature. The
warning lamp will extinguish if the gearbox oil returns back to normal operating temperature.
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.
The power input for the LED is supplied by the instrument pack via fuse 13. The temperature sensor provides the
earth path to illuminate the transmission high temperature warning lamp.
The transmission high temperature warning lamp is controlled according to the voltage present on the temperature
sensor to instrument panel earth path:
l< 1.8 volts = warning lamp on.
l> 7.7 volts = warning lamp off.

INSTRUMENTS
88-36 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Self Levelling Suspension (SLS) warning lamp
The SLS warning lamp within the instrument pack utilises an amber LED and a clear legend. The SLABS ECU
illuminates the LED continuously if a fault within the SLS is detected, 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.
On vehicles equipped with coil springs the SLS warning lamp is extinguished after 850 milliseconds if the SLABS ECU
configuration of the vehicle is correct.
The SLS warning lamp flashes at 2 Hz when the remote handset control is used to raise or lower the ride height.
If a new SLABS ECU is installed the SLS warning lamp will remain illuminated until the ECU has been calibrated by
TestBook.
The warning lamp will illuminate continuously when battery voltage is less than 10 volts for greater than 1 second.
When the vehicle is in transportation mode the SLS warning lamp is illuminated continuously with ignition on, and will
flash at 2 Hz frequency as the vehicle rises from bump stop level to transport level on engine start.
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 earth path from the SLABS ECU to the instrument pack has the following functions:
l< 1.8 volts = warning lamp on.
l> 7.7 volts = warning lamp off.
