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
88-22 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
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.
