Instrumentation

WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES

Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may become serious enough to cause expensive repairs. A warning light may illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions. Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the bulb works. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, have the respective system inspected immediately.

Service engine soon: If this light illuminates while driving, it is a possible indication that one of the engine’s emission control systems has failed.

Check suspension (if equipped):

Illuminates when there is a fault in the electronic subsystem of the air suspension.

Stop engine (if equipped): This light is used in conjunction with the electronic engine control.

Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual for specific information regarding this feature.

If the engine shuts down, it can be restarted and operated for 30 seconds at a time or until the problem is corrected. Refer to Engine shutdown system in the Driving chapter.

Drivers of electronically controlled engines should know the extent of warning engine shutdown system before operating the vehicle. This information can be obtained from your dealer.

SERVICE

ENGINE

SOON

STOP

ENGINE

Instrumentation

Brake reserve system warning (if equipped): Illuminates to

indicate normal Hydromax booster reserve system activation when the engine is OFF and the service brake pedal is applied.

This light may also illuminate momentarily if the engine is running and the driver turns the steering wheel fully in one direction while braking.

If the light remains on while the engine is running, this indicates inadequate hydraulic booster pressure or reserve pump system failure. Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible and seek service immediately.

Brake system warning light: To confirm the brake system warning light is functional, this light will momentarily illuminate when the ignition is turned to the ON position when the engine is not running. If the brake system warning light does not illuminate at this time, seek service immediately from your dealership. Illumination after starting the vehicle indicates a pressure differential in the master cylinder and the brake system should be inspected immediately by your dealership.

If equipped with an air brake system, the warning light stays on until the air pressure builds up to 60 psi (414 kPa). If the air pressure drops below 60 psi (414 kPa) during operation, the remaining brake system is still operational but the stopping distance will be greater.

Driving a vehicle with the brake system warning light on is

dangerous. A significant decrease in braking performance may occur. It will take you longer to stop the vehicle. Have the vehicle checked by your dealer immediately.

BRAKE

Anti-lock brake system: If the ABS light stays illuminated or continues to flash, a malfunction has been detected, have the system serviced immediately. Normal braking is still functional unless the brake warning light also is illuminated.

ABS

Instrumentation

Trailer ABS brake system (if equipped): Illuminates briefly when

the engine is powered-up and only when a PLC trailer or a PLC diagnostic tool is connected. If the light remains on after the vehicle is started, continues to flash or fails to illuminate, have the system serviced immediately.

Parking brake warning:

Momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned to the ON position and the engine is off. Also illuminates when the parking brake is engaged. If the brake warning lamp does not illuminate at these times, seek service immediately.

Vehicles equipped with the Power Park (air-operated parking brake) option: If after setting the parking brake on your vehicle the

park brake warning lamp begins to blink, this may indicate a failure in the parking brake system. Seek service from your dealer immeadiately.

Safety belt: Reminds you to fasten your safety belt. A chime will also sound to remind you to fasten your safety belt.

BRAKE

Check trans (Allison automatic transmission): The lamp will

illuminate for several seconds after the ignition is turned to the ON position. Illumination of this light indicates that a problem has been detected and shifting may be restricted. Depending upon the severity of the problem, the read-out digit on the shifter display may be blank. Operation may continue in order to reach service assistance. The ECU may not respond to shift selector requests, since operating limitations are being placed on the transmission, i.e. upshifts and downshifts may be restricted. Direction changes will not occur.

Refer to the Transmission Operator’s Manual for more information.

CHECK TRANS

Instrumentation

Range inhibit: Illuminates when the transmission is not engaged in the selected gear. The warning light will go off when the gearshift lever is adjusted in to the appropriate gear.

Refer to the Transmission Operator’s Manual for more information.

Charging system: Illuminates when the battery is not charging properly.

Wait to start: Indicates the air intake heater is in operation and special starting procedures are required. Refer to the Driving chapter.

If equipped with an air intake heater, DO NOT use ether or any

other starting fluids. The use of starting fluids (ether) in an engine equipped with an air intake heater could result in damage and/or personal injury.

Water in fuel (if equipped):

During refueling it is possible for water-contaminated diesel fuel to be pumped into your fuel tank. Your vehicle fuel system is equipped with a fuel filter/water separator to remove water from the fuel. The indicator light illuminates when the fuel filter/water separator has a significant quantity of water, or when the ignition key is switched to the START position. If the light illuminates when the engine is running, stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, shut off the engine and drain the filter bowl. Allowing water to stay in the system could result in extensive damage to, or failure of, the fuel injection system.

To drain the fuel filter/water separator (refer to Maintenance and Specifications chapter for procedure), rotate the valve at the bottom of the filter assembly allowing water to drain from the system. Close the valve upon completion.

Instrumentation

GAUGES

Speedometer: Indicates the current vehicle speed.

Engine coolant temperature gauge: Indicates engine coolant

temperature. At normal operating temperature, the needle will be in the normal range (between “H” and

“C”). If it enters the red section, the engine is overheating. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, switch off the engine and let the engine cool.

Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is

running or hot.

Transmission temperature gauge (automatic transmission only):

Indicates the temperature of the transmission fluid. The normal temperature range is 150°F (65°C) to 230°F (110°C). Readings of 230°F (110°C) to 250°F (121°C) are satisfactory for intermittent operation and are not cause for alarm. Operation above 250°F (121°C) can cause the fluid to break down and will result in component damage.

Odometer: Registers the total miles (kilometers) of the vehicle.

Trip odometer: Registers the miles (kilometers) of individual journeys. To reset, depress the control.

Instrumentation

Hourmeter: Registers the hours the engine has been operating.

Instrumentation

Tachometer: Indicates the engine speed in revolutions per minute. Driving with your tachometer pointer continuously at the top of the scale may damage the engine.

Battery voltage gauge: Indicates the battery voltage when the ignition is in the ON position. If the pointer moves and stays outside the normal operating range (as indicated by arrows), have the vehicle’s electrical system checked as soon as possible.

Engine oil pressure gauge:

Indicates engine oil pressure. The needle should stay in the normal operating range (as indicated by the arrows). If the needle falls below the normal range, stop the vehicle, turn off the engine and check the engine oil level. Add oil if needed. If the oil level is correct, have your vehicle checked at your dealership or by a qualified technician.

Air filter restriction gauge:

Measures the vacuum inside the air cleaner. The more the air cleaner is restricted (dirty, clogged), the higher the vacuum reading. Change the air filter when the gauge reads 25 inches. After installation of the new filter element, reset the gauge to 0.

DIESEL FUEL ONLY

RPM

1000

Instrumentation

Fuel gauge: Indicates approximately how much fuel is left in the fuel tank (when the ignition is in the on position). If your vehicle is equipped with dual fuel tanks, the engine will draw fuel from the passenger-side fuel tank only. With dual fuel tanks, the vehicle will be equipped with a fuel transfer pump system that will draw fuel from the driver-side fuel tank and send fuel to the passenger-side fuel tank. The passenger-side fuel tank must have fuel in it at all times otherwise the vehicle may stall and may be difficult to re-start. The fuel gauge reads the fuel level only from the passenger-side fuel tank.

Air pressure gauge (if equipped):

All vehicles equipped with air brakes have a dual-pointer air gauge to indicate the pressure in each brake circuit. The green pointer indicates the air pressure in the primary

system and the red pointer indicates the air pressure in the secondary system. When the pressure is too low for normal brake operation (less than

PRESSURE

60 psi [414 kPa]) and the ignition is on:

• a warning buzzer will sound and

• a warning light will illuminate in the instrument cluster

Vehicles equipped with hydraulic brakes and an air compressor have a single-pointer air gauge.
