Warning Lamps

The warning lamps are located in two groups at the left and right hand side of the pack. The direction indicators and main beam warning lamps are located at the top of the display and the glow plug, DSC and HDC warning lamps are located above the message center, between the two large analogue gauges.

The warning lamps can be split into two groups; self controlled and externally controlled.

Self controlled lamps are dependent on software logic within the instrument pack for activation. The pack software controls the lamp check illumination at ignition on and all lamps whose operation is wholly controlled by the pack, the low fuel level warning lamp for example.

Externally controlled lamps are supplied with a current from another system controlling ECU or triggered by the pack on receipt of a bus message from another ECU.

Some lamps are activated by an external ECU, but the control logic is retained within the pack. For example, the direction indicator warning lamps are synchronized and controlled by the LCM, but the lamp illumination logic is retained within the pack. These lamps are shown in the following table as being self and externally controlled.

The following table shows the available warning lamps and indicates if they are subject to a bulb check illumination and if they are self controlled or externally controlled.
