WARNINGS AND INDICATORS – CIRCUIT OPERATION

ETC Warning Indicator (TC)

Illuminates for 3 seconds after the Ignition switch is turned on and the ABS and traction control systems have completed their self-checks. Whilst driving, the TC light will illuminate (for a minimum of 2 seconds) whenever traction control is active; the light extinguishing as soon as traction control ceases. The light flashing (for at least 10 seconds) indicates that the system has been over-used; it will be available again once the system components have cooled. If the light illuminates continuously, a fault with the system is indicated. The ABS System is interfaced to the Instrument Cluster (Z142) via the BeCM (Z238).

Brake Warning Indicator

Illuminates for 3 seconds as a bulb check when the Ignition switch is turned to position II and also illuminates when the handbrake is applied and the Ignition switch is in position II. The light should extinguish when the handbrake is fully released or after the bulb check if the handbrake is off. If the light illuminates whilst driving, a fault is indicated. NOTE: If the vehicle has been standing for some time, it may take up to 40 seconds before the light extinguishes (in this case, ABS and TC warning lights will also be illuminated). The Brake System and Handbrake Switch (X191) are interfaced to the Instrument Cluster (Z142) via the BeCM (Z238).

Cruise Active Indicator

When the Cruise Control System has been activated the indicator will be illuminated. The Cruise System is interfaced to the Instrument Cluster (Z142) via the BeCM (Z238).

Charge Warning Indicator

Illuminates as a bulb check when the Ignition switch is turned to position II and extinguishes when the engine is running and the Generator (Z106) is producing normal power. If the Generator (Z106) is not producing normal power or the Generator (Z106) stops turning the indicator will illuminate. Both Petrol and Diesel Generators (Z106) are interfaced to the Instrument Cluster (Z142) via the BeCM (Z238).

Fasten Seat Belt Indicator

Illuminates for 6 seconds when the Ignition switch is turned to position II. When the driver’s seat belt is buckled, the indicator turns off. The Driver’s Seat Belt Switch (X120) is interfaced to the Instrument Cluster (Z142) via the BeCM (Z238).
