Integrated Circuit Display

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The driver information messages are transmitted to the instrument cluster over the communication network. The compass module and outside air temperature sensor are hardwired to the instrument cluster. The odometer and trip odometer information is transmitted from the PCM through the communication network to the instrument cluster.

In addition to the compass, outside air temperature and odometer/trip odometer, the integrated circuit provides the driver with information using a text-based format. The CHECK GAUGES display illuminates when there is low oil pressure, high engine coolant temperature or when the vehicle has entered into the fail-safe cooling mode. For additional information on the fail-safe cooling mode warning, refer to WARNING DEVICES .
