Operating Modes
The instrument pack will function in seven modes:

l

Shut down

l

Normal

l

Powered/Unpowered

l

Diagnostic

l

Crank

l

Standby normal

l

Low battery voltage.

Shut Down Mode
The instrument pack enters shut down mode when the ignition is moved from position II to the off position (O). Ignition 
voltage is removed and only the permanent battery feed is available. All CAN gateway, diagnostic, instrument pack 
and warning lamp functions are suspended. Some conventionally wired warning lamps can still function in shut down 
mode, i.e.; hazard warning lamp.

When the instrument pack senses that the ignition supply has been removed, it can remain in normal mode for up to 
fifteen seconds to allow the microprocessor to power down. In shut down mode the total current draw for the 
instrument pack does not exceed 1mA.

Normal Mode
The instrument pack enters normal mode when battery voltage from ignition switch position II is received. The ECM 
transmits a message for the CAN standard. If this message is correct or not received, the instrument pack remains in 
normal mode. If an incorrect CAN standard message is received, the instrument pack will enter standby normal mode.
