Warning and indicator lamps
| Warning and indicator lamps |
The INFO DISPL lamp is lit when a message is shown in SID. The lamp is supplied with +15 voltage in the main instrument and grounded internally in the main instrument unit. SID continuously sends the 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 relating to the car's safety.
The lamp is supplied with +15 voltage in the main instrument unit and grounded internally in the main instrument when any of the following warning or indicator lamps are lit:
| • |
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.
The central warning lamp also lights up when:
| • |
Coolant temperature exceeds 129°C
|
|
At the same time as the central warning lamp is lit, the main instrument unit sends bus information to SID to activate an acoustic signal. This does not happen when the ignition is turned on as only the bulbs are being tested; the engine speed must be above 300 rpm for this request.
Diagnosis
The function has no diagnostics.| Oil pressure warning lamp |
The oil pressure warning lamp is situated in the top RH corner of the instrument display. This lamp warns the driver when engine oil pressure is too low.
If the oil pressure falls below 0.3-0.5 bar, the oil pressure sensor makes contact, pin 15 in the main instrument unit is grounded and the control module turns on the lamp. At the same time, the central warning lamp is lit and at engine speeds above 300 rpm, MIU sends a request to SID to activate the acoustic signal.
Diagnosis
The function has no diagnostics.| Charge warning lamp |
The charge warning lamp is situated in the top RH corner and informs the driver whether or not the generator is charging.
The lamp is supplied from the main instrument unit and grounded internally in the main instrument unit.
If the generator is not turning or not charging for any reason, pin 6 on the main instrument unit is grounded via the regulator from the generator field winding, whereupon the control module lights the lamp. At the same time the central warning lamp is lit and at engine speeds above 300 rpm, the MIU sends a request to SID to activate the acoustic signal.
When the generator is charging, D+ on the generator has the same voltage as B+ on the generator, which means that the input on the MIU is supplied with power B+ whereupon the control unit turns off the lamp.
Diagnosis
The function has no diagnostics.| Warning lamp, AIRBAG |
The airbag warning lamp is on the RH side of the main instrument unit.
A fault in the system is indicated by the airbag warning light coming on permanently.
On normal function, the SRS control module sends a message to the bus to turn off the airbag warning lamp. If this message is not sent, the MIU turns on the lamp. SRS can also in certain cases send the light message on the bus. This ensures the lamp is lit as quickly as possible.
The central warning lamp is lit as the same time as the airbag warning lamp and at engine speeds higher than 300 rpm, the MIU sends a request to SID to activate the acoustic signal.
When the ignition key is turned to the start or drive position, the airbag warning lamp comes on for 3-4 seconds before then going out if no trouble codes are stored.
If there are trouble codes stored, the lamp will light for 3-4 seconds, then go out for half a second, and then come on permanently until the ignition is turned off or the trouble code is cleared.
If an airbag or belt tensioner has tripped, the airbag warning light is lit constantly.
Diagnosis
The function has no diagnostics.| Warning lamp, brake fluid level |
The brake fluid warning lamp warns the driver if the level of fluid in the reservoir is too low. The lamp will also go on if there is a fault in the ABS system.
If the brake fluid level is too low, the level switch closes and pin 13 in the main instrument unit is grounded, whereupon the control module lights the lamp. At the same time, the central warning lamp is lit and at engine speeds above 300 rpm, MIU sends a request to SID to activate the 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 RH side of the main instrument unit and informs the driver if the handbrake is applied.
If the oil pressure falls below 0.3-0.5 bar, the oil pressure sensor makes contact, pin 15 in the main instrument unit is grounded and the control module turns on the lamp.
When the handbrake is applied, pin 14 on MIU is grounded by the contact on the brake lever handbrake lever, which means that the control module turns on the lamp.
If the speed exceeds 5 km/h from a speed lower than 5 km/h when the handbrake is applied, the central warning lamp comes on and MIU sends a request to SID to activate the acoustic signal.
Diagnosis
The function has no diagnostics.| ESP indicator lamp |
On the left-hand side of the main instrument unit (in the tachometer) is the ESP function lamp. The lamp comes on when the system is in ESP modulation. If a fault should occur in the ESP system, the ESP OFF lamp will be turned on via the P-bus.
The function lamp is lit by the ESP control module sending information on the P-bus.
The lamp is turned on when ESP modulation is active after a slight delay (300 ms) and is then on as long as the system is active, but at least one second. When the ignition is turned on, the function lamp lights up for 3-5 seconds.
Diagnosis
The function has no diagnostics.| ESP OFF indicator lamp |
If a fault should occur in the ESP system, the ESP OFF indicator lamp will be turned on via the P-bus. The warning lamp also comes on when the system is disengaged manually, which can be done at speeds lower than 60 km/h (37.5 mph) by pressing the ESP switch. The system can be engaged by pressing in the ESP switch at an optional speed, whereby the ESP OFF indicator lamp will go out again.
When the ignition is turned on, the lamp comes on; if there is no fault, the lamp goes off again after 3-5 seconds.
Diagnosis
On a system fault which affects the ABS function, the ABS, drive brake and central warning lamps are lit.If there is no bus message from the ESP control module for 2 seconds, the ESP OFF and ABS lamps will come on. If there is no bus message for a further 8 seconds, the central warning lamp and brake warning lamp will also come on.
| ABS warning lamp |
The ESP control module monitors the operation of the ABS system and turns on the ABS warning lamp on the right-hand side of the main instrument unit if a fault occurs.
When the ABS lamp lights up, the anti-lock braking system is disabled and the brakes work just like a conventional braking system.
The main instrument unit receives information on the bus to turn on/off the lamp.
The ESP control module lights the lamp when the ignition is turned on. If there are no faults, the lamp will go out after 3 seconds.
When the ABS warning lamp is lit, the central warning lamp comes on and at engine speeds higher than 300 rpm, MIU sends a request to SID to activate the acoustic signal.

| Selector lever position indicator |
Cars with Sentronic
Cars without Sentronic
In cars with automatic transmission, the gear selector indicator displays the selected gear by lighting the corresponding gear symbol. If manual gear position, M, is selected, the selected gear will be displayed (1-5).
Gear position indication consists of 6 or 7 segments, each with an individual diode next to the corresponding symbol (P,R,N,D,M,L or P,R,N,D,4,3,L) and 5 symbols (1,2,3,4,5) for cars with Sentronic which are displayed with diodes. The brightness of the diode display is controlled with the rheostat level.
The diodes receive a voltage feed in the main instrument panel and are grounded internally in the main instrument panel. The TCM sends continuous bus information regarding the gear selector position as value "P,R,N,D,M,L" or "P,R,N,D,4,3,L".
The main instrument panel control module grounds the diode output to each corresponding gear position symbol which comes on while other symbols are switched off. If another gear selector position is selected, the bus information status is changed and the symbol which was previously lit switches off and the symbol for the newly-selected gear position is switched on.
