Normal Operation

At key ON, the cluster will light the low fuel, seat belt, check gauges, and airbag. As the key is turned farther towards the start position, the check engine, ABS (if equipped) and brake warning lamp will illuminate. The liquid crystal display (VFD) will indicate the mileage stored inside the cluster. If there is a bus failure and the cluster cannot receive distance pulses from the engine controller, the cluster will display the last mileage stored until the ignition is turned OFF. If the cluster is receiving bus messages but is unable to display odometer information because of an internal failure, the odometer display will be blank. Dimming is handled by the potentiometer that controls instrumentation illumination. Also, if there is a CCD bus failure, "no bus" will be displayed on the odometer 20 seconds after the vehicle is started.
