Gauges System Description - Control/Function
Speedometer and Tachometer
The PCM provides a vehicle speed signal to the gauge control module using the F-CAN. Based on this input, the gauge control module displays the current vehicle speed in the speedometer. The PCM provides an engine speed signal to the gauge control module using the F-CAN. Based on this input, the gauge control module displays the current engine speed in the tachometer. Fuel Gauge and Fuel Indicator
The gauge control module displays the fuel gauge based on input value from the fuel gauge sending unit. The low fuel indicator turn on in the event that indication of the fuel gauge becomes lower than the minimum tank fill threshold. Multi-Information Display (MID) (With multi-information display)
The multi-information display (MID) provides the ODO/trip meter, outside air temperature, average fuel efficiency, available cruising range, instant fuel economy, elapsed time, oil life, energy flow, seat belt reminder, average speed, and the status of keyless access system. In addition, the diagnostic system displays the communication errors and the DTCs. ODO Meter and Trip Meter
The PCM provides a vehicle speed signal to the gauge control module using the F-CAN. Based on this input, the gauge control module tracks mileage for the odometer and trip meters. The mileage values are displayed in the multi-information display* or the information display. *: With multi-information display Engine Coolant Temperature
The PCM provides an engine coolant temperature signal to the gauge control module using the F-CAN. With Multi-information display, when the engine coolant temperature is high, the gauge control module displays the ATTENTION or CAUTION warning in the multi-information display (MID). Outside Air Temperature
The gauge control module uses measurements from outside air temperature sensor or provided by the outside air temperature sensor signal from climate control unit via the B-CAN. The outside air temperature indicator’s displayed temperature can be recalibrated 5 °F ( 3 °C) to meet the client's expectations.Average Fuel Economy Records, Average Fuel Economy/Instant Fuel Economy, Range, Elapsed Time Display, Average Speed Display
The gauge control module receives signals such as fuel consumption, driving distance, vehicle speed, and engine speed from the PCM via F-CAN. It calculates average fuel economy records, average/instant fuel economy, range, elapsed time, average speed to display the results. Select Position
The PCM sends the transmission shift position to the gauge control module, using the F-CAN. The A/T gear position indicator indicates the shift position based on these data. Gauge Control Module Receives Information
The gauge control module receives information from each control unit via the F-CAN and the B-CAN to light or flash the indicators. The washer fluid level switch, the outside air temperature sensor, the ECON switch, the cruise control combination switch, the multi-information display switch, the ACC/LKAS switch, the VSA OFF switch, the CMBS OFF switch, the parking brake switch, and the brake fluid level switch connect directly to the gauge control module. The MICU creates turn signal inputs that connect directly to the turn signal indicators in the gauge control module. Keyless Access System Information
The gauge control module receives information from the keyless access control unit via the B-CAN to display status of the keyless access system. Ambient Meter
Changes color to reflect driving style of the driver. Green: Fuel efficient driving Yellow: Moderate acceleration/deceleration White: Aggressive acceleration/deceleration The ambient meter color changes in accordance with the brake or the accelerator pedal operation. Buzzer
The gauge control module includes a buzzer to provide the driver with audible warnings. Illumination Control
With the exterior lights turned off, the system is in the lights OFF state. Brightness can be adjusted using the dashlights brightness controller. |
