High Instrument Cluster (IKE)
The IKE corresponds to the E38/E39 system. It consists of the integrated control electronics and the Display Unit. The IKE is the data gateway for the I, K and CAN Busses. The IKE is also the gateway for diagnostic messages that are sent to and from the DIS tester and all of the modules on both the "I" and "K" busses.
The "CHECK ENGINE" light nomenclature has been changed to "SERVICE ENGINE SOON".
Redundant data storage for the total mileage and service interval indicator is stored in the LCM III.
All gauge functions, warning lamp indicators and the matrix display are the same as in the E38. The needle of the coolant temperature gauge is centered if coolant temperature is between 75° C - 115° C.
The fuel economy indicator returns to its starting point when road speed is reduced to 5 MPH and doesn't move again until road speed is above 8 MPH. Certain indicator/warning lights are illuminated momentarily when KL15 is switched on as a pre-drive check. The indicators will switch off after 2 seconds or within 1 second after the engine starts.
