Analog Input Signals

Battery Voltage  - Battery voltage is monitored by the cluster and a fault is stored if the voltage exceeds 16 volts.

Fuel Tank Level  - Two lever action sensors are wired in parallel to the cluster. The two varying voltage signals are processed by the cluster for fuel gauge and low fuel warning display.

Coolant Temperature  - A NTC sensor is used to measure coolant temperature, the cluster uses this input for temperature gauge display. This is also a CAN bus signal on vehicles which have the CAN bus link to the cluster

Outside Temperature  - A NTC sensor is used to measure the ambient temperature. The signal is processed by the cluster and passed out over the K Bus to modules requiring this input for processing.
