Description and operationIndicator warning lamps

Indicator warning lamps

These warning lamps give a visual indication when the direction indicators or hazards lamps are operated. The indicator circuit provides a pulsed voltage to the LH warning lamp on a GR wire or the RH warning lamp on a GW wire from the direction indicator switch.

Main beam warning lamp

Gives an indication that the headlamps are being operated on main beam by switching battery voltage to the lamp on a UW wire via fuse A1 in the passenger compartment fuse box. ince the other side of the lamp is permanently connected to earth on a B wire the amp will illuminate.

Airbag warning lamp

The airbag warning lamp receives battery voltage from use A4 on a W wire and a control signal from the airbag control unit on a P wire. The warning lamp will illuminate for approximately six seconds when the starter switch is turned to position II before extinguishing. There is a system fault when any of the following symptoms are observed:

The warning lamp fails to illuminate when the starter switch is turned to position II The warning lamp fails to extinguish after approximately six seconds The warning lamp flashes or illuminates continuously while the car is being driven

Tachometer

The tachometer receives battery current from fuse A4 in the passenger compartment fusebox on a W wire. The gauge pointer will deflect dependent on the signal received from the ignition coil on a WB wire.

Voltage gauge

The voltage gauge receives battery voltage from fuse A4 in the passenger compartment fuse box on a W wire providing the starter switch is in position II. The other side of the gauge is connected to earth on a B wire. The gauge pointer will deflect to indicate the condition of the battery.

Oil temperature gauge

The oil temperature gauge receives battery voltage from fuse A4 in the passenger compartment fuse box on a W wire providing the starter switch is in position II. The gauge pointer will deflect dependent on the resistance between the NU connection at the oil temperature sensor and earth representing the temperature of the oil. The earth path to the sensor is on a B wire.
