Smart Cluster Features

The Electro/Mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) houses the Fuel, Voltmeter, Engine Coolant Temp, and Oil Pressure gauges, the Speedometer and the Tachometer. The cluster positions the analog gauges using PCI Bus messages received from the PCM. The cluster also contains warning indicators as well as indicators for the Right and Left turn signals and the High Beam headlamps. Some of the indicators are hardwired to the cluster and some indicators are controlled by messages received on the PCI Bus. The vehicle Chime function, Courtesy Lamp Output, the Battery Saver function, and the Rear Window Defogger timer are contained internally within the cluster. The cluster contains a vacuum fluorescent (VF) display for the Odometer/Trip function. The cluster VF will also display P-codes and vehicle status messages. The cluster has the ability to store DTCs, communicate on the PCI Bus, display engine information, and display certain inputs using the DRBIII®. The cluster is also able to perform a manual self-test. For complete description and operation of the Instrument Cluster, refer to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER .
