Instrument Cluster Indicators - Description
DESCRIPTION
The instrument cluster assembly has provisions for up to 19 International Control and Display Symbol icon indicators and 4 analog gauges, Gauge Pack - Description that are all controlled by the Cab Compartment Node (CCN) and standard on all models. Some of the indicators are automatically configured when the CCN is connected to the vehicle's electrical system for compatibility with certain optional equipment or equipment required for regulatory purposes in certain markets. While each instrument cluster may have provisions for indicators to support every available option, the configurable indicators will not function in vehicles that do not have the equipment that an indicator supports.
Each indicator in the instrument cluster, except those located within a VFD unit, is illuminated by a dedicated Light Emitting Diode (LED) that is soldered onto the CCN electronic circuit board. Cluster illumination is accomplished by several dimmable LED units, which illuminate each of the gauge dial faces for visibility when the exterior lighting is turned ON. These LED units as well as the CCN module are serviced only as a complete unit with the instrument cluster and, if damaged or ineffective, the entire instrument cluster assembly must be replaced. The cluster lens and the cluster hood and mask unit are the only components of the instrument cluster assembly that can be serviced separately.

- Airbag Indicator (11)(10)
