Warning Center Display

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The warning center display is a florescent vacuum tube display that alerts the driver of a lamp outage, or electric parking brake condition. The FEM and REM both control the exterior illumination. When an exterior lamp(s) is inoperative, the FEM or REM notify the instrument cluster over the SCP communication network and the instrument cluster illuminates the warning center message LAMP OUT. The warning center message will remain on until the condition is corrected. When the electric parking brake is applied, needs to be recalibrated or has a system fault, the EPB module notifies the instrument cluster over the SCP communication network. Once the condition is corrected, the warning center will display the trip odometer.
