Warning Lamps

WARNING LAMPS

System Description

OUTLINE

With ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied
- through 10 A fuse [No. 14, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
- to combination meter terminal 22.

Ground is supplied
- to seat belt buckle switch LH terminal 2 and
- to trunk lamp switch and trunk release solenoid terminal 4
- through body grounds B7 and B19,
- to brake fluid level switch terminal 2 and
- to washer fluid level sensor terminal -
- through body grounds E15 and E24,
- to fuel level sensor unit and fuel pump terminal 5
- through body grounds M57, M61 and F14.

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP
The malfunction indicator lamp is controlled by the ECM. During prove out or when an engine control malfunction occurs, the ECM signals the combination meter (unified meter control unit) via the CAN lines and ground is provided to the malfunction indicator lamp.

When power and ground are supplied, the malfunction indicator lamp illuminates.

LOW WASHER FLUID LEVEL WARNING LAMP
When the washer fluid level is low, ground is supplied
- to combination meter terminal 15
- from washer fluid level sensor terminal +.

When power and ground are supplied, the low washer level warning lamp illuminates.

AIR BAG WARNING LAMP
During prove out or when an air bag malfunction occurs, the ground path is interrupted
- from the air bag diagnosis sensor unit terminal 15
- to combination meter terminal 20.

SEAT BELT WARNING LAMP
When the driver seat belt is unfastened, ground is supplied
- to combination meter terminal 11
- from seat belt buckle switch LH terminal 1.

When power and ground are supplied, the seat belt warning lamp illuminates.

LOW FUEL LEVEL WARNING LAMP
The amount of fuel in the fuel tank is determined by the fuel level sensor in the fuel tank. A signal is sent
- to combination meter terminal 35
- from fuel level sensor unit terminal 2.

The fuel level sensor will illuminate the low fuel level warning lamp when the fuel level is low.

When power and ground are supplied, the low fuel level warning lamp illuminates.

LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LAMP
Low oil pressure warning lamp is controlled by the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room).

Low oil pressure causes oil pressure switch terminal + to provide ground to IPDM E/R terminal 57. The IPDM E/R then signals the combination meter (unified meter control unit) via the CAN lines and ground is provided to the low oil pressure warning lamp.

When power and ground are supplied, the low oil pressure warning lamp illuminates.

CHARGE WARNING LAMP
During prove out or when a generator malfunction occurs, ground is supplied
- to combination meter terminal 14
- from generator terminal L.

When power and ground are supplied, the charge warning lamp and brake lamp illuminate.

BRAKE WARNING LAMP
When the parking brake is applied or if the brake fluid level is low, ground is supplied
- to combination meter terminal 17
- from parking brake switch terminal 1 or
- to combination meter terminal 19
- from brake fluid level switch terminal 1.

When power and ground are supplied, the brake warning lamp illuminates.

TRUNK WARNING LAMP
Trunk warning lamp is controlled by the BCM.

When the trunk is opened, ground is supplied
- to BCM terminal 53
- through trunk lamp switch and trunk release solenoid terminal 3
- through trunk lamp switch and trunk release solenoid terminal 4
- to body grounds B7 and B19.

The BCM then signals the combination meter (unified meter control unit) via the CAN lines and ground is provided to the trunk warning lamp.

When power and ground are supplied, the trunk warning lamp illuminates.

DOOR WARNING LAMP
Door warning lamp is controlled by the BCM.

When one of the doors is opened, ground is supplied to BCM terminals 12, 13, 47 or 48. The BCM then signals the combination meter (unified meter control unit) via the CAN lines and ground is provided to the door warning lamp.

When power and ground are supplied, the door warning lamp illuminates.

ASCD SET INDICATOR LAMP
The ASCD set indicator lamp is controlled by the ECM.

When the ASCD system is turned on and the speed is set, the ECM signals the combination meter (unified meter control unit) via the CAN lines and ground is provided to the SET indicator lamp.

When power and ground are supplied, the set indicator lamp illuminates.

CRUISE INDICATOR LAMP
The cruise indicator lamp is controlled by the ECM.

When the ASCD system is turned on, the ECM signals the combination meter (unified meter control unit) via the CAN lines and ground is provided to the cruise indicator lamp.

When power and ground are supplied, the CRUISE indicator lamp illuminates.

ABS WARNING LAMP
When an ABS malfunction occurs, ground is supplied
- to combination meter terminal 16
- from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) terminal 21.

When power and ground are supplied, the ABS warning lamp illuminates.

TCS OFF WARNING LAMP
When TCS OFF switch is in OFF position or a TCS malfunction occurs, ground is supplied
- to combination meter terminal 12
- from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) terminal 5.

When power and ground are supplied, the TCS OFF warning lamp illuminates.

SLIP WARNING LAMP
When TCS is in operation or a TCS malfunction occurs, ground is supplied
- to combination meter terminal 13
- from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) terminal 2.

When power and ground are supplied, the SLIP warning lamp illuminates.

AT CHECK WARNING LAMP (5-SPEED A/T MODELS)
The AT CHECK warning lamp is controlled by the TCM (transmission control module). When an A/T system malfunction occurs, the TCM signals the combination meter (unified meter control unit) via the CAN lines and ground is provided to the AT CHECK warning lamp.

When power and ground are supplied, the AT CHECK warning lamp illuminates.

A/T CHECK (POSITION) INDICATOR LAMP (4-SPEED A/T MODELS)
The A/T check (position) indicator lamp is controlled by the TCM (transmission control module). When an A/T system malfunction occurs, the TCM signals the combination meter (unified meter control unit) via the CAN lines and ground is provided to the A/T check (position) indicator lamp.

When power and ground are supplied, the A/T check (position) indicator lamp illuminates.
