SUBJECT:
INTERMITTENT FLASHING OF THE PICTOGRAM
APPLICATION: 9000 MODELS 1986-88
A service kit (M86-87), relay (M88) and repair procedure has been developed to correct the momentary flash of the pictogram that can occur when
applying the brakes or using the turn signals. The service kit for 1986-87 models contains a relay which momentarily delays the signal to the pictogram
display, allowing the circuits to stabilize. The relay for 1988 models replaces the stock relay and contains its own delay function. This service fix is not
intended to compensate for an actual fault in the system that would result in a steady illumination of a failure indicator. In this case the wiring fault must
be repaired before installing the service kit. See steps 8- 15 of this S.I.
