INFORMATION DISPLAY : System Description


FUNCTION

The information display can indicate the following items.
- Outside air temperature
- Trip computer
- Intelligent Key operation information
- CVT shift position indicator
- Odometer
- Warning/Indication messages (Door/trunk open, low oil pressure, CVT, low fuel, low washer fluid, I-Key, release parking brake, low tire pressure and loose fuel cap (except Mexico)).

OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE INDICATION

Displays the ambient temperature based on signals received from:
- The A/C auto amp. via CAN communication (with auto A/C).
- The IPDM E/R (without auto A/C).

LOOSE FUEL CAP (EXCEPT MEXICO)

The LOOSE FUEL CAP message will display in the information display when the fuel-filler cap is not tightened correctly. The message will turn off as soon as the ECM detects the fuel-filler cap is properly tightened. The
ECM provides a loose fuel cap signal to the combination meter via CAN communication.

LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING

This warning appears when the BCM detects low inflation pressure or a system malfunction. The BCM sends a signal to the combination meter via CAN communication to illuminate the low tire pressure warning lamp. In addition, a warning message will be displayed in the vehicle information display.

DOOR OPEN WARNING

This warning appears when the ignition switch is ON and the door is open. The BCM receives a door switch signal from the door open door switch. The BCM sends the door switch signal to the combination meter via
CAN communication lines.

TRUNK OPEN WARNING

This warning appears when the ignition switch is ON and the trunk is opened. The BCM receives a trunk lamp switch signal from the trunk lamp switch. The BCM sends the trunk lamp switch signal to the combination meter via CAN communication.

LOW FUEL WARNING

This warning appears when the fuel level in the fuel tank is less than approximately 4 US gal (15 L, 3.3 Imp gal). A variable resistor signal is supplied to the combination meter from the fuel level sensor unit to determine the amount of fuel in the fuel tank.

LOW WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID WARNING

When the windshield washer fluid level is low, the washer fluid level switch provides a ground signal to the combination meter and the warning is displayed. Once fluid is added, the switch opens and the warning is no longer displayed.

RELEASE PARKING BRAKE WARNING

When the parking brake is applied, the parking brake switch provides a ground signal to the combination meter. When the vehicle speed is greater than 4 MPH (7 km/h), the message is displayed and the warning chime sounds.

SHIFT POSITION INDICATOR

Displays the position of the shift selector based on signals received from TCM via CAN communication.

LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING

The low oil pressure warning appears in the information display when the combination meter receives a low engine oil pressure signal from the ECM via CAN communication.

WARNING CHECK INDICATION

The combination meter can cause an interrupt on the information display to indicate a warning, based on signals received from each unit and switch.
