Warning and indicator lamps

Warning and indicator lamps

INFO DISPL lamp comes on when a message is displayed on SID. The lamp is powered in the main instrument unit with +15 voltage and is grounded by the main instrument unit control module. SID sends continuous bus information INFO DISPL, unit ON/OFF.

On receiving INFO DISPL ON, the control module grounds the output for the lamp which then lights up.

The main instrument unit lights this lamp for 3 seconds when the ignition is switched on.

Diagnosis

The function has no diagnostics.

Central warning lamp

The central warning lamp lights up when a fault occurs in a system having to do with the car's safety.

The lamp is supplied with +15 current from the main instrument unit and grounded by the MIU's control module when one of the following warning or indicator lamps lights up:

•	AIRBAG lamp

•	Oil pressure lamp

•	Charging lamp

•	Brake fluid warning lamp

•	Handbrake lamp

•	ABS warning lamp

The handbrake lamp lights the central warning lamp if the speed passes 5 km/h from a speed below 5 km/h.

All these lamps are supplied with +15 current from the main instrument unit and grounded to their respective components/systems.

The central warning lamp also lights up when:

•	The coolant temperature exceeds 119°C

At the same time as the central warning lamp comes on, the main instrument unit will send bus information to SID to activate an acoustic signal. This will not happen when the ignition has just been turned on as the lamps are then only being tested and the engine speed must be over 300 rpm for this request to take place.

Diagnosis

The function has no diagnostics.

Oil pressure warning lamp

The oil pressure warning lamp is situated in the top right-hand corner of the instrument display. This lamp warns the driver when engine oil pressure is too low.

The lamp is supplied with current in the main instrument unit and grounded via terminal 2 (K20) of the oil pressure sensor.

If the oil pressure is below 0.3-0.5 bar, the oil pressure sensor will close, the circuit will be grounded and the lamp will come on. Meanwhile, the central warning lamp will come on and at engine speeds above 300 rpm, MIU will send a request to SID to activate an acoustic signal.

Diagnosis

The function has no diagnostics.

Charge warning lamp

The charge warning lamp is situated in the top right-hand corner and informs the driver whether or not the generator is charging.

The lamp is supplied with current in the main instrument unit and grounded by the generator via terminal 3 (K20).

If the generator does not rotate or is not charging for some reason, the warning lamp circuit will be grounded via the regulator through the generator field winding and the lamp will come on. Meanwhile, the central warning lamp will come on and at engine speeds above 300 rpm, MIU will send a request to SID to activate an acoustic signal.

When the generator is charging, its D+ and B+ terminals will have the same voltage. Both terminals of the warning lamp will then be supplied with this same voltage and the lamp goes out.

Connected in parallel with the lamp is a resistor which ensures that the generator receives its magnetizing current when starting, even if the lamp bulb is faulty.

A diode is connected in series with the resistor and the lamp. This diode prevents the lamp from lighting up when high charge voltages are generated.

Diagnosis

The function has no diagnostics.

Warning lamp, AIRBAG

The airbag warning lamp is situated on the right-hand side of the main instrument unit. The lamp warns the driver in the event of a fault in the airbag system. A second lamp consists of the central warning lamp, which goes out only when all the warning inputs are normal.

The airbag lamp is supplied with +15 current in the main instrument unit and grounded by the airbag control module via pin 1 (K20) of the main instrument unit.

If a fault should occur in the system, the Airbag lamp and central warning lamp will come on and at engine speeds above 300 rpm, MIU will send a request to SID to activate an acoustic signal.

If the airbag system has been activated - sent firing current to the explosive charges in the gas generators - the airbag and central warning lamps will light up continuously.

The airbag control module lights the lamp when the ignition is turned on. If there are no faults, the lamp will go out after 3 seconds.

Diagnosis

An open circuit/short circuit sets a diagnostic trouble code in the AIRBAG control module.

Warning lamp, brake fluid level

The brake fluid warning lamp tells the driver when the level of the fluid in the reservoir is too low. The lamp also goes on if there is a fault in the ABS system.

The lamp is supplied with current in the main instrument unit and grounded via terminal 12 (K20) of the brake fluid reservoir.

If the level is too low, the central warning lamp will also come on and at engine speeds above 300 rpm, MIU will send a request to SID to activate an acoustic signal.

The main instrument unit lights the brake fluid level warning lamp for 3 seconds when the ignition is turned on.

Diagnosis

The function has no diagnostics.

Warning lamp, handbrake

The handbrake warning lamp is situated on the right-hand side of the main instrument unit and informs the driver if the handbrake is applied.

The lamp is supplied with current in the main instrument unit. As long as the handbrake remains applied, the switch operated by the handbrake lever grounds the lamp via terminal 11 (K20), causing it to light up.

If the vehicle speed passes 5 km/h from a speed below 5 km/h while the handbrake is applied, the central warning lamp will also come on and MIU will send a request to SID to activate an acoustic signal.

Diagnosis

The function has no diagnostics.

ABS warning lamp

The ABS control module monitors the function of the ABS system and in the event of a fault lights the ABS warning lamp, which is situated on the right-hand side of the main instrument unit.

When the ABS lamp lights up, the anti-lock braking system is disabled and the brakes work just like a conventional braking system.

The lamp is supplied with current in the main instrument unit and grounded via main instrument unit terminal 10 (K20) in the ABS control module.

The ABS control module lights the lamp when the ignition is switched on and if there is no fault it will go out after approx. 3 seconds.

The brake fluid warning lamp and the central warning lamp will go on at the same time as the ABS warning lamp.

Diagnosis

The function has no diagnostics.

Direction indicator repeater lamps RH and LH

The repeater lamps are situated in the upper part of the main instrument unit and show when the direction indicators are on.

The lamps are supplied with current in the main instrument unit and grounded by the MIU's control module. DICE continuously sends bus information on the status of DIRECTION INDICATORS RIGHT and DIRECTION INDICATORS LEFT, unit ON/OFF.

Example

If the LH direction indicators are activated, DICE will change the status of the information DIRECTION INDICATORS LEFT ON/OFF at the same time as the direction indicator lamps are lit. In this way, the main instrument unit control module can synchronize the flashing of the repeater lamps with the direction indicator lamps.

The SID also activates the TICK-TACK sound at the same time as the lamps flash.

The function is the same for the RH direction indicators.

Hazard flashers

The function for the hazard flashers is the same as for the direction indicators LH/RH except that both lamps are activated at the same time.
