Description Of Parameters






Description of parameters

VEHICLE SPEED




Measurement range 0-260 km/h, 0-160 mph.
The value displays the vehicle speed. This is a signal from the anti-lock brake system module (ABS).

ENGINE SPEED (RPM)
Measurement range 0-9024 rpm.
The value indicates the engine speed (RPM). This is a signal from the engine control module (ECM).

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
Measurement range -40 to +140 °C.
The value indicates the engine coolant temperature (ECT). This is a signal from the engine control module (ECM).

OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE

Note! If the combined instrument panel is programmed to display the temperature in °C (°F), the read out of the value in °F (°C) will not be correct.

Measurement range -40 to +60 °C/-40 to +140 °F.
The value indicates the ambient air temperature. This is a signal from the sensor.

Note! Only if the car is equipped with a function displaying the outside temperature.

MANIPULATED
The value indicates how long in hours the speedometer signal to the combined instrument panel has been disengaged while the car was being driven.

FUEL VOLUME, ATTENUATED

Note! If the combined instrument panel is programmed to display the volume in liters(gallons), the read out of the value in gallons (liters) will not be correct.

Fuel level signal, attenuated (liters/gallons).
The value shows the volume signal from the fuel level sensor (gasoline / diesel).

FUEL VOLUME, CALCULATED

Note! If the combined instrument panel is programmed to display the volume in liters(gallons), the read out of the value in gallons (liters) will not be correct.

Fuel level signal, calculated (liters/gallons).
The value displays the volume calculated by the combined instrument panel from the fuel level sensor signal (gasoline / diesel).

GAS VOLUME, ATTENUATED
Gas level signal, attenuated (liters/gallons).
The value displays the volume calculated by the combined instrument panel from the fuel level sensor signal.

Note! Only applies to bi-fuel cars.

GAS VOLUME, CALCULATED
Gas level signal, calculated (liters / gallons).
The value displays the gas volume signal from the gas level sensor.

Note! Only applies to bi-fuel cars.

GAS FUEL FINISHED, STATUS
The value indicates the status of the combined instrument panel for the gas level in the fuel tank. This data is sent to the LPG control module. When the gas level is low and the LPG control module receives a signal indicating this from combined instrument panel terminal #B12, gas power is switched off and the engine switches to gasoline power. Approximately 5 liters and less is considered as low level. Gas power is available when the gas level is above the minimum level.
Yes = Gas level finished (low level or less).
No = Gas level OK (above low level).

Note! Only applies to bi-fuel cars.

CLOCK ADJUSTMENT KNOB STATUS
The value displays the clock adjustment knob position for adjusting time.
Resting position = No time adjustment.
Forward slow = Adjusting time, forward slowly.
Forward fast = Adjusting time, forward fast.
Backward slow = Adjusting time, backward slowly.
Backward fast = Adjusting time, backward fast.

TRIP COMPUTER, RESET BUTTON
Not depressed = Button released.
Depressed = Button depressed.
The value indicates the position of the reset button for the trip computer.

Note! Only if the car is equipped with a trip computer function.

TRIP COMPUTER, SELECTOR

Note! Only if the car is equipped with a trip computer function.

The value indicates the position of the reset button for the mode selector. The following options can be displayed:
- Average speed
- Present fuel consumption
- Average fuel consumption
- Outside temperature
- Mileage
- Range to empty fuel tank
- Reset button The reset button for the trip computer is an internal switch connected to the wiring for the mode selector. This means that this parameter can be displayed
- No selector connected. Displayed if the mode selector is disengaged.

TRIP METER, RESET BUTTON
Released = Button released.
Depressed = Button depressed.
The value indicates the position of the reset button for the trip odometer.

HIGH ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE, WARNING
OFF = Warning lamp off.
ON = Warning lamp on.

Note! Only for diesel cars equipped with this function.

LOW FUEL LEVEL, WARNING LAMP
OFF = Warning lamp off.
ON = Warning lamp on.

OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WARNING LAMP
OFF = Warning lamp off.
ON = Warning lamp on.

Note! Only if the car is equipped with a function displaying the outside temperature.
