192004715 - E4010 INSTRUMENT PANEL - DESCRIPTION

Description

The gauges and warning lights which form the instrument panel are grouped in a single instrument containing:

• electronic speedometer
• electronic rev counter
• coolant temperature gauge, with overheating warning light
• fuel gauge, with reserve warning light
• engine oil pressure gauge ( 2.0 24V only)
• engine oil temperature gauge ( 2.0 24V only)
• engine oil level gauge ( 1.9 JTD and 1.9 JTD 16V only)
• warning lights.

The instrument panel is a node on the CAN network through which it exchanges information with the Body Computer and the other electronic units.Speedometer: the function displays the vehicle speed on the instrument panel: this information comes from the ABS control unit, via the Body Computer.Engine rpm: the function displays the engine rpm on the instrument panel, via the message sent on the CAN network from the engine management control unit.Odometer: this function displays and memorises the total mileage counter and trip recorder: the distance travelled information is processed by the Body Computer via a counter; the specific button located on the panel beside the steering wheel resets the trip recorder.Fuel gauge: the Body Computer receives the signal from the sensor integrated in the pump unit in the fuel tank and processes it so as to ensure appropriate filtering / damping to the instrument panel gauge, and also controls the lighting up of the ''reserve'' warning light.Engine water temperature: the function displays the water temperature on the instrument panel and lights up the water overheating warning light by means of the messages sent via the CAN network from the engine management control unit.Minimum engine oil pressure: the function lights up the minimum oil pressure warning light on the instrument panel via the message sent on the CAN network from the engine management control unit.
