System Description

Vehicles With 2.0L Zetec Engine Or 2.0L SPI Engine:

Oil Pressure And Oil Temperature Cluster:

The instrument cluster provides the driver with information and warning indicators on the vehicle systems.

Vehicle options dictate the operational warning indicators, although the legends may be fitted, not all will be illuminated.

The gauges and warning indicators may use the outputs from common sensors to carry out their respective functions. This should always be considered when looking at any system which may not be functioning correctly, for example:

The electronic speedometer receives its signal from the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) mounted on the transaxle. Other systems which require input include, engine management, anti-lock braking, speed control, trip computer.

Always consider and check associated systems for operation, as this may save time when looking for a fault. instrument clusters should be repaired as an assembly and not dismantled for repair.
