BeCM - Revised Message Center Display Operation
NO: 04/01/97NAS
Ref:
Issue: 1
Date: 07/25/97
Change to Message Center Functionality
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
RANGE ROVER (LP) from VA364262
SITUATION:
REVISED MESSAGE CENTER FUNCTION
Vehicles after the above VIN have been fitted with a new BeCM (AMR6531) with revised functionality.
Two basic areas of change have been made:
^
Certain messages have been removed and will no longer be displayed.
^
Conditions have been modified for the display of some messages.
These revisions have been made to improve customer satisfaction and to avoid information "clutter." The changes are:
1.
The "Traction" message has been deleted and will never appear.
2.
The "Electrical Fault" message will only appear if there is a communication fault between the BeCM and the Instrument Pack. Previously it
appeared when there was an internal fault in the BeCM also.
3.
To avoid spurious messages during cranking, the following messages are inhibited from display during, and for one second after, cranking:
"Traction, Overheat, Traction Failure, EAS Manual, EAS Fault, Slow 35mph max, Slow 20mph max, Slow 55kph, Slow 30kph, ABS Fault, Sport,
Manual"
4.
"Rear Window On" and "Rear Window Off" messages are not displayed on every change of the switch. If the windows have been switched on or
off with the ignition in the off position, the message center will display the status of the rear windows when the ignition is switched back on. This
display will be accompanied by a "beep."
RESOLUTION:
NEW BeCM UNIT FOR REPLACEMENT
Be aware of the new functionality when explaining BeCM activity to owners of new vehicles. When a new BeCM is installed on an older vehicle the
functionality will be the same as that described above and will therefore differ from what a customer has become used to.
