Instrument Cluster Indicators - Description

DESCRIPTION





The instrument cluster assembly has provisions for up to 25 International Control and Display Symbol icon indicators and 4 analog gauges, Gauge Pack - Description that are all controlled by the Cab Compartment Node (CCN) and standard on all models. Some of the indicators are automatically configured when the CCN is connected to the vehicle's electrical system for compatibility with certain optional equipment or equipment required for regulatory purposes in certain markets. While each instrument cluster may have provisions for indicators to support every available option, the configurable indicators will not function in vehicles that do not have the equipment that an indicator supports.

The instrument cluster includes provisions for the following indicators:

- Airbag Indicator (8)
- Antilock Brake System (ABS) Indicator (10)
- Brake Indicator (17) - text only for U.S. market, icon only for markets outside U.S.
- Charging Indicator (2)
- Cruise Indicator (14)
- Traction Control/Electronic Stability Control (ESC) System Activation Indicator (30)
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF Indicator (28)
- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Indicator (3)
- Engine Coolant Temperature Indicator (16)
- Four-Wheel Drive Lock (Off Road) Indicator (24) - Not Used
- Front Fog Lamp Indicator (26) - with optional front fog lamps only
- Gear Selector Indicator (12) - with automatic transmission only
- High Beam Indicator (9)
- Low Fuel Indicator (33)
- Low Oil Pressure Indicator (4)
- Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) (5) - only on domestic market vehicles. On export market vehicles, this indicator is located on the right side of the cluster overlay near the top, above the engine coolant temperature gauge.
- Rear Fog Lamp Indicator (21) - in markets where rear fog lamps are available only
- Seat Belt Indicator (11)
- Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Indicator (15)
- Turn Signal (Right and Left) Indicators (7)

The instrument cluster also includes the following Vacuum Florescent Display (VFD) units:

- Compass Mini-Trip Computer Display (31) - includes Push Button (35).
- Odometer Display (25) - includes Cruise indicator (14), Gear Selector indicator (12), Off Road indicator (24), and 4WD indicator (23).

For more information on the International Control and Display Symbol icons International Control and Display Symbols.

Each indicator in the instrument cluster, except those located within a VFD unit, is illuminated by a dedicated Light Emitting Diode (LED) that is soldered onto the CCN electronic circuit board. Cluster illumination is accomplished by several dimmable LED units, which illuminate each of the gauge dial faces for visibility when the exterior lighting is turned ON. These LED units as well as the CCN module are serviced only as a complete unit with the instrument cluster and, if damaged or ineffective, the entire instrument cluster assembly must be replaced. The cluster lens and the cluster hood and mask unit are the only components of the instrument cluster assembly that can be serviced separately.
