Oil Pressure Gauge

An oil pressure gauge is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This gauge is located in the upper right quadrant of the speedometer. This gauge consists of a movable gauge needle or pointer controlled by the instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 90 degree scale on the cluster overlay that reads left-to-right from L (or Low) to H (or High).

An International Control and Display Symbol icon for Engine Oil is located on the cluster overlay, on. The oil pressure gauge graphics are white against a black field except for a single red graduation at the low end of the gauge scale making them clearly visible within the instrument cluster in daylight. When illuminated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled cluster general illumination lighting with the exterior lamps turned ON, the white graphics appear white and the red graphics still appear red. The gauge needle has internal optical illumination. Gauge illumination is provided by Light Emitting Diode (LED) units located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
