Item Number Description
1 Transmission selected gear status
2 MIL (malfunction indicator lamp)
3 Message center

The instrument cluster is connected to the transmission control module (TCM) via the high speed controller area network (CAN) bus. Transmission status is transmitted by the transmission control module (TCM) and displayed to the driver in one of two displays in the instrument cluster. For additional information, refer to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER .

Malfunction Indicator Lamp 

The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is located in the tachometer in the instrument cluster. Transmission related faults which may affect the vehicle emissions output will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).

The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is illuminated by the engine control module (ECM) on receipt of a relevant fault message from the transmission control module (TCM) on the high speed controller area network (CAN). The nature of the fault can be diagnosed using a Jaguar approved diagnostic system which reads the fault codes stored in the transmission control module (TCM) memory.

Transmission Status Display 

The transmission status display is located in a liquid crystal display (LCD) at the top of the instrument cluster, between the speedometer and the tachometer. The liquid crystal display (LCD) shows the JaguarDrive selector position or the selected gear when in manual 'Jaguar Sequential Shift' mode.

The following table shows the displays and their descriptions.

Symbol Description
P Park selected
R Reverse selected
N Neutral selected
D Drive selected
S Sport mode selected
1 1st gear selected (manual Jaguar sequential shift mode)
2 2nd gear selected (manual Jaguar sequential shift mode)
3 3rd gear selected (manual Jaguar sequential shift mode)
4 4th gear selected (manual Jaguar sequential shift mode)
5 5th gear selected (manual Jaguar sequential shift mode)
6 6th gear selected (manual Jaguar sequential shift mode)

The message center is located in the lower center of the instrument cluster. The message center is a liquid crystal display (LCD) to relay vehicle status and operating information to the driver and can display messages relating to a number of the vehicle systems. If a transmission fault occurs, the message center will display the message 'GEARBOX FAULT'.
