244000438 - INSTRUMENT PANEL

DESCRIPTION OF THE SYSTEM

Instrument panel control unit operation

The role of the control panel, produced by Magneti Marelli, is to display vehicle operating parameters and to notify the driver of any possible faults in the on-board electronic systems.The main functions performed by the instrument panel are listed below:

  • electronic speedometer and speedometer repeaters on the basic version with a speedomeer output. optional versions with four speedometer outputs with three active and one spare
  • mileometer/trip counter
  • electronic rev counter
  • engine coolant temperature gauge with overheating warning light;
  • fuel level gauge with reserve warning light and signal repetition unit;
  • various warning lights (fault, activation etc.);
  • panel lighting, graphics and pointers, with LEDs;
  • LED mileometer lighting even during daylight;
  • panel lighting and fixed graphics with lights on
  • automatic transmission failure and speed engaged warning light for vehicles with automatic transmission
  • clock function with hour and minute regulation
  • engine oil level (only for optional versions)
  • services.
: When a ZF automatic transmission is fitted, the panel receives speed information via a serial line

Composition

From a design point of view the panel consists of the following components:

  • two multifunction buttons for the milometer, servicing and time adjustment;
  • speedometer reading with stepping motor;
  • rev counter reading with stepping motor;
  • LCD for milometer, clock, oil level, servicing, automatic transmission functions;
  • fuel level gauge with stepping motor and LED reserve warning light;
  • engine coolant temperature gauge with stepping motor and coolant overheating warning light LED;
  • LED warning lights for signal functions;
  • LED for SMD type (Surface Mounting Device) display and graphics

The meaning of the codes in the table are described below:

  • PL = warning light activated at low level;
  • PH = warning light activated at high level;
  • PI = intelligent type warning light;
  • M = warning light activated by micro-controller;
the three warning lights activated by the micro-controller (CODE system failure warning light, automatic transmission failure warning lgiht and fuel reserve warning light) should be on with the ignition on for three seconds. If they are off when the ignition is on, then there is a failure.

Lighting system

The instrument panel backlighting is activated when the signal from the lights is received, whilst the panel is not lit up when the headlamps are off. No other lighting control strategy is active on the panel while the mileometer display is automatically back-lit when the key is turned on.

Odometer

The milometer is the digital electronic type with an LCD (liquid crystal display) with 1 line.The milometer display is illustrated in the diagram
When the ignition is turned on (+15) the display is lit up and the milometer provides a reding of the total mileage or the trip mileage in the appropriate unit of measurement - Km or Miles.The button (31 in the diagram) manages both the zeroing function for the trip mileage rading and the selection of the total/trip mileage through the following operating mode:

  • (a) when the total mileage is displayed pressing the button for between 0.1 seconds and 2 seconds produces a switching to the trip mileage when it is released;
  • (b) when the trip mileage is displayed, pressing the button briefly (in other words between 0.1 and 2 seconds) produces a switch to the total mileage when the button is released; pressing the button for a while (between 2 and 5 secs) inolves zeroing the trip mileage displayed.
7 digits with 6 segments are used to display the total and trip mileageThe TRIP symbol on the milometer appears when the partial mileage is displayed
The trip meter counter returns to display "0.0" when the figure "999.9" is exceeded, whilst when the total mileage counter exceeds 999999 (Km or Miles) it only displays the centre segments of all the digits (in other words 6 horizontal "bars").

Planned maintenance

The servicing function lets the user know when the vehicle is ready for service when the distance or time parameters approach the deadline set for the engine and application type.Distance and time parameters definitionThe parameters used for calculating the services are the distance travelled and time.The distance travelled is calculated using the vehicle speed input with an upper limit of 99999 Km and the time is indicated in days and taken from the clock function.There is a spanner symbol for the servicing function that appears each time the ignition is switched on if
