Description
The instrumentation gauges are contained in a subdial assembly within the instrument cluster. The individual gauges are not serviceable. If one of the cluster gauges becomes faulty, the entire cluster would require replacement.The Mechanical Instrument Cluster (MIC) with a tachometer is equipped with a electronic vacuum fluorescent transmission range indicator (PRND3L),
odometer, and trip odometer display.
The MIC without a tachometer is equipped with a Light Emitting Diode (LED) transmission range indicator (PRND3L) and a vacuum fluorescent odometer
display.
The MIC is equipped with the following warning lamps.
- Lift Gate Ajar
- Low Fuel Level
- Low Windshield Washer Fluid Level
- Cruise
- Battery Voltage
- Fasten Seat Belt
- Door Ajar
- Coolant Temperature
- Anti-Lock Brake
- Brake
- Oil Pressure
- MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp)
- VTSS/SKIS Indicator
- Airbag
- Traction Control
- Autostick
- High Beam
- Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM)
- Glow Plug (Export Only)
- Supplemental Cabin Heater (Export Only)

WATER IN FUEL LAMP - EXPORT
When moisture is found within the fuel system, the water in fuel sensor sends a message via the PCI data bus to the instrument cluster. The MIC illuminates the LED, The sensor is located underneath the vehicle, directly above the rear axle. The sensor is housed within the fuel filter/water separator assembly cover. The sensor is not serviced separately. If found defective, the entire assembly cover must be replaced.
Refer to the vehicle Owner's Manual for operation instructions and conditions for the Instrument Cluster Gauges.
ENHANCED SEAT BELT REMINDER "BELTMINDER"
The Seat belt Indicators will turn on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position as a reminder to "buckle up". The LED will remain on until the driver's (passenger as well if equipped with Occupant Classification System (OCS) seat belt is buckled. The chime will sound for 6 seconds, or until the seat belt is buckled.
WATER IN FUEL LAMP / SENSOR - EXPORT
The Water In Fuel Sensor is a resistive type switch. It is calibrated to sense the different resistance between diesel fuel and water. When water enters the fuel system, it is caught in the bottom of the fuel filter/water separator assembly, where the sensor is located. Water has less resistance than diesel fuel. The sensor then sends a PCI data bus message to the instrument cluster to illuminate the lamp.
If the lamp is inoperative, perform the self diagnostic test on the instrument cluster to check the lamp operation before continuing diagnosis.
