Door/Trunk Ajar Indicator/Lamp: Description and Operation
Description
DESCRIPTION
Door and liftgate ajar indicators are standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The ajar indications appear within the fixed segment odometer
Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. However, on vehicles equipped with an optional Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), the ajar
indications in the odometer VFD are electronically suppressed so as not to duplicate indications that are provided by the EVIC. The odometer VFD ajar
indicators are textual messages that appear in place of the odometer/trip odometer information.
The odometer VFD unit is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board, and is visible through a window with a smoked clear lens located at the base
of the cluster overlay tachometer dial face. The dark lens over the VFD prevents it from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. The ajar
indicator textual messages appear in the same blue-green color and at the same lighting level as the other information displayed in the odometer VFD
when it is illuminated by the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The ajar indicators are serviced as a unit with the odometer VFD unit in the instrument cluster.
