Freelander System Description and Operation
AUTOMATIC GEARBOX - JATCO
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
44-33
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
The LCD is located in a central position in the instrument pack. In addition to displaying the odometer and trip meter,
the LCD also displays the current gearbox status. The following table shows the characters displayed and their
definition.
The EAT ECU transmits the selector lever position through the CAN bus to the ECM. The ECM processes this
information and passes it to the instrument pack in the form of CAN messages to display the gearbox status.
If the gearbox develops a fault and adopts the limp home mode, the LCD will alternately display 'F' and 4'' to alert the
driver that a fault has occurred and limp home mode is operational.
