The warning indicators are located in various positions in the Instrument Cluster (IC).
The warning indicators can be split into 3 groups:
- In the speedometer display.
- In the tachometer display.
- In the central position.
Self controlled warning indicators are dependent on software logic within the IC for activation. The IC software controls the warning indicator check illumination at ignition on and all indicators whose operation is controlled by the IC; the low fuel level warning indicator for example.
Externally controlled indicators are supplied with current from another system control module or illuminated by the IC on receipt of a bus message from another system control module. Some indicators are activated by an external system control module but the IC contains the control logic.
