Warning lamps

Anti-theft alarm LED The anti-theft alarm LED (C0233) receives a power supply from fuse 4 of the under bonnet fuse box, via splice SJ21, on a NO wire. The earth for the anti-theft alarm LED (C0234) is controlled by the alarm ECU (C0061) on a UK wire.

Hazard warning The hazard warning lamp (C0233) receives a power supply from fuse 4 of the under bonnet fuse box, via splice SJ21, on a NO wire. The earth for the hazard warning lamp (C0233) is controlled by the hazard warning switch (C0096) on a GY wire.

Electronic Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) The earth for the EPAS warning lamp (C0234) is controlled by the EPAS ECU (C0316) on a KU wire.

Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) The earth for the SRS warning lamp (C0234) is controlled by the airbag DCU (C0256) on a OP wire.

Seat belt (Australia and Japan only) The earth for the seat belt warning lamp (C0234) is controlled by the multi function ECU (C0062) on a BR wire.

Ignition/No charge When the alternator is not generating a charge, the ignition/no charge warning lamp (C0230) is earthed on the NY wire to the alternator (C0185) via the passenger compartment fuse box (C0590 and C0585). When the engine is running, the alternator applies a voltage to the NY wire to extinguish the lamp.

Handbrake/Low brake fluid The route to earth for the handbrake/low brake fluid warning lamp (C0233) is on BW wires to the handbrake switch (C0091) and the brake fluid level switch (C0026), via the passenger compartment fuse box (C0590, C0581 and C0585). When the handbrake lever is applied, the handbrake switch (C0091) closes and connects the BW wire to earth through a switch fixing. If the fluid in the brake reservoir falls to a low level, the brake fluid level switch (C0026) closes and connects the BW wire to an earth header (C0018) on a B wire.

Main beam When the flash switch is closed, or the lighting switch is selected to the headlamps position and the dip switch is in the main beam position, the feed from fusible link 1 in the under bonnet fuse box is connected to the UW wire between the lighting switch (C0041) and fuse 21 (C0595) in the satellite fuse box. Fuse 21 (C0595) supplies the feed to the main beam warning lamp (C0230) on a UG wire.
