CHECK OIL LEVEL Indicator (Buick)
The oil level sensing system consists of the following components:
• | The powertrain control module (PCM) |
The oil level is indicated in the following manner:
- The oil level sensor provides the oil level signal to the PCM
on CKT 1174 (BRN).
- The PCM processes the signal.
- If the PCM determines that a low oil level condition exists, the
PCM grounds CKT 1173 (BRN/WHT).
- The CHECK OIL LEVEL indicator illuminates.
CRUISE Indicator
The cruise indicator illuminates in the following manner:
- The instrument cluster receives cruise data from the powertrain
control module (PCM) over the universal asynchronous receiving/transmitting
(UART) serial data line.
- The instrument cluster converts the serial data.
- The PCM commands the instrument cluster to illuminate the CRUISE
indicator.
LOW COOLANT Indicator (Buick)
The low coolant indicator illuminates in the following manner:
- The engine coolant level sensor provides a signal to the instrument
cluster on CKT 68 (YEL/BLK).
- If the engine coolant level is low, the sensor grounds CKT 68.
- The LOW COOLANT indicator illuminates.
LOW WASHER FLUID Indicator (Buick)
The low washer fluid level indicator illuminates in the following manner:
- The windshield washer solvent level switch provides a signal to
the instrument cluster on CKT 99 (BLK/WHT).
- If the washer fluid is low, the sensor grounds CKT 99.
- The LOW WASHER FLUID indicator illuminates.
OIL Indicator
The oil indicator illuminates in the following manner:
- The engine oil pressure switch provides a signal to the instrument
cluster on CKT 231 (TAN/BLK).
- If the oil pressure is low (below 2 psi) the switch is
closed, grounding CKT 231.
- The OIL indicator illuminates.
VOLTS Indicator
The volts indicator illuminates in the following manner:
- The instrument cluster receives charging data from the powertrain
control module (PCM) over the universal asynchronous receiving/transmitting
(UART) serial data line.
- The instrument cluster converts the serial data.
- The PCM commands the instrument cluster to illuminate the VOLTS
indicator.
