The Analogue Instrument Cluster has four display
areas:
1. Indicator and Warning Lamps
2. Fuel Level
3. Main Tachometer Display
4. Engine Temperature

 SECTION 55 – ELECTRICAL SYSTEM – CHAPTER 5 5

SENDERS, SENSORS & SWITCHES

A. ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL SWITCH
Operates as engine coolant level drops to illuminate warning lamp. Uses a normally closed switch.

B. ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH

Operates as engine oil pressure drops below 0.68 bar (10 lbf/in2) to illuminate warning lamp. Uses a normally
closed switch.

C. ALTERNATOR
Provides a square wave signal of 142.5 – 855 Hz (480 – 3060 ERPM) for instrument cluster and
microprocessor operations.

D. AIR CLEANER RESTRICTION SWITCH

Operates as the vacuum in the air intake system rises above 46.7mm Hg (25in H2O), to illuminate warning
lamp.

E. PARKING BRAKE SWITCH

Switch is closed with parking brake applied, a warning lamp and audible alarm with key switch on.
Sounds an alarm when wheel movement is detected above 0.8 km/h (0.5 mph).
Sounds an alarm for 2 minutes with key switch off and park brake released.
NOTE: FWD is always engaged when park brake is applied.

F. WATER IN FUEL
Operates when water is detected in the fuel to illuminate warning lamp.

G. INTAKE FILTER RESTRICTION SWITCH (Open Centre System)

Operates as the transmission intake vacuum rises above 406mm Hg (228.8 in H2O) to illuminate warning
lamp.

H. INTAKE FILTER TEMPERATURE SWITCH
Operates as the transmission oil temperature rises above 40°C (104°F) to allow the intake filter restriction
switch to function. Switch is normally open.
I.
J. INTAKE FILTER RESTRICTION SWITCH
Operates as the transmission intake vacuum rises above 406mm Hg (228.8 in H2O) to operate warning lamp.
Switch is normally open.

K. CHARGE PRESSURE SWITCH

Operates as charge pressure drops below 0.8 bar (12 lbf/in2) to illuminate warning lamp. Switch is normally
closed.

SENDERS, SENSORS & SWITCHES

L. TRANSMISSION OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
Operates as transmission oil pressure drops below 11 bar (160 lbf/in2) to operate warning lamp. Switch is
normally closed.

M. ITALIAN TRAILER BRAKE SWITCH

Operates when trailer brakes are applied to illuminate warning lamp.

N. FWD OIL PRESSURE SWITCH

Operates when transmission pressure 16 bar (240 lbf/in2) is absent in FWD line (FWD engaged) to illuminate
warning lamp. Switch is normally closed.
O.
P. DIFFERENTIAL LOCK PRESSURE SWITCH
Operates when transmission oil pressure 16 bar (240 lbf/in2) is present in differential lock supply lines to
illuminate warning lamp. Switch is normally open.
Q.
R. BRAKE/CLUTCH FLUID LEVEL SWITCH
Operates as fluid level drops below minimum to illuminate warning lamp. Switch is normally closed.

S. ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENDER

The temperature sender resistance changes proportionally with coolant temperature causing a modulated
signal voltage to be sent back to the instrument cluster to operate the gauge.

SENDER RESISTANCE GAUGE INDICATION

710 – 580 ohms Cold
Less than 100 ohms Hot

T. FUEL TANK SENDER

Signal from sender potentiometer determines fuel level displayed on the gauge.

SENDER RESISTANCE GAUGE INDICATION

31 – 49 ohms Full
230 – 250 ohms Empty
