Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Digital I/P

The Digital Electronic Instrument Panel contains vacuum fluorescent displays for the Speedometer, Fuel Gage, Oil Pressure Gage, Temperature Gage and Voltmeter.

The Safety Belt Lamp, Malfunction Indicator Lamp, BRAKE Lamp, Headlamp High Beam Indicator and SHIFT Lamp (manual transmission) use standard bulbs and operate the same as the Base and Gage Cluster.

Battery voltage to the Cluster is supplied by the ORN (40) wire. This circuit voltage is used for the memory to maintain the total and trip mileages for the odometers.

Ignition voltage to the Cluster is supplied by the PNK/WHT (39) wire. This circuit supplies voltage to the vacuum fluorescent displays and the BRAKE and MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP and ANTI LOCK Brake Indicators.

The other circuits to the Cluster provide the various signals necessary to operate the displays and indicators.

When the Ignition Switch is turned to RUN, all of the segments of the vacuum fluorescent displays are displayed for about two seconds. The displays then indicate current levels.

The vacuum fluorescent displays can be switched between English and Metric by the E/M switch. When the E/M switch is open, the displays are in English. When the E/M switch is closed, the displays are in Metric.
