The Electronic Cluster
The electronic cluster works only when your
ignition is in the ON position. Each time you start
your vehicle, the displays go through a self-test by
flashing on and off once before the actual readings
are displayed. (Neither the turn signals nor the high
beam indicator light will flash like the other
indicators do for the self-test.) Some of the warning
lights will flash on and remain on (will not
immediately flash off) until the normal cluster
display is lit. This self-test is used to indicate that
all of the warning/indicator lights are working
properly.
Your electronic cluster tells you about the condition
of your vehicle by using two types of equipment:
❑
warning lights and gauges
❑
message center
