3315687 - E4010 INSTRUMENT PANEL - Functional description

Functional description

The instrument panel E50 is supplied directly by the battery at pin 14 connector A by the line from fuse F18 of B2. Panel E50 receives a second ignition-opeated supply (15/54) at pin 15 of connector A via fuse F6 and relay T1 of junction unit B2; pin 16 of connector A is earthed. Pin 13 of connector A receives ignition signal (AVV) from ignition H1: this signal - together with the rpm signal described later - are used to process 'engine running' information. The electronic speedometer receives a speedometer signal from ABS control unit M50 at pin 2 of connector B of E50. The speedometer signal is sent out again to the climate control system control unit M70, the navigator control unit M90 and the radio P20, from pins 5, 6, 7 of connector B, respectively.

Functional description

A boot opening enablement signal is sent from pin 8 of connector B when the speedometer signal is less than 2 km/h  See E3045  BOOT AND FUEL FLAP OPENING . The internal software also controls the milometer and trip meter. The electronic rev counter receives an rpm signal from engine management unit M10 at pin 4 of connector B of E50 . The handbrake switch I40 is connected to pin 19 connector C of E50 .(versions with VDC) or at pin 10 of connector C together with the insufficient brake fluid level signal.(versions without VDC). The brake fluid sensor K25 sends an earth signal to pin 10 of connector C to constantly light up the warning light but with an insufficient brake fluid level function.
The low brake fluid level and handbrake warning light also comes on upon a command from the ABS control unit, together with the 'ABS failure' warning light to indicate a fault in the EBD braking system.  See E7020  ABS ..
The brake pad wear warning light is controlled by a signal sent to pin 12 of connector C of E50 from one of two sensors K20 or K21 . The insufficient engine oil level warning light, pins 18 and 19 connector B of E50, is connected to the sensor K32. The water in the diesel filter warning light is connected at pin 4 connector A of E50 to sensor K31. The low oil pressure warning light is controlled by a signal sent to pin 13 of connector C of E50 from sensor K30 . The seat belt warning light is controlled by a signal sent to pin 6 of connector A of E50 from switch I45 . The temperature gauge receives the signal at pin 15 connector C E50 from the temperature sensor K36; the warning light also comes on depending on the signal for the engine management control unit M10 sent to pin 10 of connector B of E50. The fuel gauge is operated according to the signals coming - at pins 20 and 19 of connector A of E50 - from the level gauge located in the electric fuel pump assembly N40: the software also manages the reserve warning light. together with the consumption signal which reaches the engine management control unit M10, sent to pin 17 of connector C of E50. The instrument panel is equipped with a self-diagnostic function. This data may be read by connecting the panel to connector R10 - pin 9: this receives signals from pin 1 of connector C of E50 via the tester line See E8010 DIAGNOSTIC MULTIPLE CONNECTOR .
