Functional description
The ignition-operated power supply (INT) of the instrument panel E50 reaches pin 1 of connector A through the line of fuse F37 of the unit under the dashboard B2; the direct supply reaches pin 2 of connector A through the line of fuse F53 of the unit under the dashboard B2; pin 7 of connector A is earthed (earth controlled by the Body Computer M1 ).
The instrument panel E50 is connected from pins 3 and 4 of connector A to the Body Computer M1 and via the latter to the whole CAN network: via CAN the signal for the electronic speedometer arrives (coming from the ABS control unit M50 ): this signal is replicated from pin 37 of M50 to pin 17 of connector A of the Body Computer M1.
The electronic rev counter receives the rpm signal coming via CAN from the engine management control unit M10.
The fuel gauge is controlled in accordance with the signals coming from the fuel gauge sender unit located in the fuel pump assembly N40 - at pins 4 and 15 of the Body Computer M1, and from here via CAN to the instrument panel E50.
The seat belt warning light is controlled by a signal sent to pin 15 of connector A of E50 from switch I45.
The inertia switch warning light is controlled in accordance with the signal which reaches pin 12 of connector A of E50 from the relevant switch I50 (N.O. contact: the N.C. contact is the one which interrupts the operation of the petrol pump See E5030 PETROL ENGINE ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT ].
The brake pad wear warning light is controlled in accordance with the signal which reaches pin 23 of connector A of the Body Computer M1 from the relevant sensor K20.
The low brake fluid/handbrake applied warning light comes on through a signal from the handbrake switch I40, which reaches pin 24 of connector E of the Body Computer M1, or from the signal from the low brake fluid level sensor K25, which reaches pin 18 of connector A of M1.
All these signals are transferred via CAN to the instrument panel E50.

The engine oil level sensor K32 receives a supply from the panel E50 from pin 17 of connector B and sends the appropriate signal to pin 18.
The brake pad wear warning light is controlled in accordance with the signal which reaches pin 23 of connector A of the Body Computer M1 from the relevant sensor K20.
The low brake fluid/handbrake applied warning light comes on through a signal from the handbrake switch I40, which reaches pin 24 of connector E of the Body Computer M1, or from the signal from the low brake fluid level sensor K25, which reaches pin 18 of connector A of M1.
All these signals are transferred via CAN to the instrument panel E50.
