On the instrument panel "low series" contains 39 control lamps and indicators, on the instrument panel "high series" - 27. Control lamps on instrument panels "high series" supplemented by messages displayed in the message center. For more information, see the chapter: Information and Message Center (413-08 Information and Message Centre, Description and Operation).

Indicator lamps can be classified into two groups: those controlled by the instrument panel electronic unit and those controlled by control modules of other vehicle systems. Indicators and warning lamps controlled by the instrument panel are activated according to its own software. Externally controlled warning lamps and indicators are powered by the appropriate control module of another system or are turned on by the instrument panel when a message is received on the medium speed CAN bus from the CJB.

Control lamp of ignition / lack of charging

The ignition/lack of charge warning light is controlled by the instrument cluster software and turns on when signals are received on the medium speed CAN bus from the ECM via the CJB. This lamp turns red when the vehicle enters power mode 6 and goes out when the engine is started.

If the warning lamp does not turn off after starting the engine or lights up while the vehicle is moving, this means that as a result of a malfunction, there is no recharging of the battery from the generator.

Low oil pressure warning light

The low oil pressure warning light is illuminated by the instrument panel when signals are received on the medium speed CAN bus from the CJB. The signal originates in the ECM and is generated by the engine oil level sensor on gasoline vehicles and the engine oil pressure sensor on diesel vehicles.


This lamp turns red when the vehicle enters power mode 6 and stays on for a 3 second lamp test. If the lamp stays on and then, while the engine is running, the engine should be stopped immediately at the next safe opportunity.

Engine Malfunction Warning Lamp

Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) activated by the instrument panel when receiving signals on the medium speed CAN bus from the CJB. The signal is initiated in the ECM and is generated if a malfunction of the on-board diagnostic system is detected (OBD), which causes an increased level of harmful secretions. The cause may be a malfunction of the engine control system or transmission.

The MIL will turn amber when the vehicle enters power mode 6 and stays on for the 3 second lamp test. The bulb test is then performed by the ECM using the CJB, not the instrument panel. If the MIL is then illuminated, query the vehicle using a Land Rover approved diagnostic system at the first opportunity.

Seat belt warning lamp

The seat belt warning lamp turns red when receiving signals on the medium speed CAN bus from the CJB. The signal is initiated in the restraint system control module (RCM), which monitors the status of the driver/passenger classification system and the switches located in the seat belt buckles.

Depending on the vehicle configuration, three warning options are offered:

• Reminder (all vehicles except North American vehicles (NAS))
• Reminder according to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208 (NAS vehicles only)
• Seat belt reminder

The conditions for the seat belt warning light to come on are as follows:

• Reminder
• Vehicle in power mode 6
• Driver's seat belt not latched
• Oversized passenger checked into front passenger seat with seat belt not fastened

The warning lamp remains on until either the ignition is turned off or conditions 2 and 3 no longer exist.

• Reminder FMVSS-208
• Vehicle in power mode 6
• Driver's seat belt not latched

The warning light stays on for 65 seconds and will be accompanied by a single 6 second beep from the instrument cluster speaker.

NOTE: The warning light and horn will not activate if these conditions occur 75 seconds after the vehicle enters power mode 6.

The warning light will turn off and the horn will stop when the ignition is turned off or the driver's seat belt is fastened.

• Seat belt reminder
• Vehicle in power mode 6 (all vehicles except NAS vehicles)
• Vehicle in power mode 6 for 75 seconds (NAS vehicles only)
• Vehicle speed over 10 km/h
• Driver's seat belt not latched
• Oversized passenger checked into front passenger seat with seat belt not fastened

The indicator lamp will flash at a frequency of 2 Hz, accompanied by an audible signal from the instrument panel for 10 seconds. This is followed by a 10 second period in which the warning lamp is permanently on and there is no audible signal. This 10 second cycle will repeat for a maximum of 190 seconds or if any of the conditions listed above cease to exist.

Auxiliary restraint system warning light

Auxiliary restraint system warning light (SRS) turns on when a signal is received on the medium speed CAN bus from the CJB. The signal is initiated in the RCM, which monitors the status of the SRS and turns on the red warning lamp in the appropriate mode.

The SRS warning lamp is illuminated by the RCM for a 6-second lamp test period when the vehicle first enters power mode 6. If a malfunction is detected in the warning lamp, the instrument panel returns a signal on the medium speed CAN bus via the CJB to the RCM and a DTC is stored in the RCM memory (DTC). In addition, 'SrS' will appear on the odometer display. For more information, see the chapter: Information and Message Center (413-08 Information and Message Centre, Description and Operation).

Control lamps of indexes of the left and right turn

The green indicator lamps for the left and right indicators turn on when signals are received on the medium speed CAN bus from the CJB. The CJB issues a CAN bus signal with one of the following values:

• 0 - Left multifunction switch on the steering column in the center position
• 1 - The left multifunction switch on the steering column is turned to the left
• 2 - The left multifunction switch on the steering column is turned to the right
• 3 - Hazard lights requested

If the vehicle is in power mode 6, the instrument cluster will flash the corresponding turn signal indicator lamp if a signal is received on the medium speed CAN bus with a value of 1 or 2. Signals on the medium speed CAN bus with a value of 3 will activate the simultaneous activation of the left and right turn signal indicator lamps regardless of diet.

After the left and right turn signal indicator lamps are activated, the instrument panel speaker will emit a ticking sound.

Brake warning lamp

EBA and EBD warnings are sent to the CJB from the ABS module via the high speed CAN bus. These signals are sent to the instrument cluster on the medium speed CAN bus and will activate the brake warning light when the vehicle is in power mode 6. If an EBA warning is requested, the warning light will be amber. If an EBD warning is requested, the warning light will be red.

Low brake fluid warnings are also transmitted to the instrument cluster from the CJB via the medium speed CAN bus. The signal originates in the ABS module, which receives a wired input from the brake fluid level sensor. If a low brake fluid warning is requested, the warning light will turn red when the vehicle is in power mode 6.

The Brake Warning Light will also turn on for a 3 second bulb test period when the vehicle enters Power Mode 6 for the first time. The Warning Light will illuminate amber for 1.5 seconds and then red for 1.5 seconds.

Engine Coolant High Temperature Warning Light

Red engine coolant temperature warning light (ECT) controlled by engine temperature gauge software (see above).

High beam warning lamp

The high beam warning lamp comes on when it receives a signal on the medium speed CAN bus from the CJB. The signal is initiated in the light switch module and transmitted to the CJB via the LIN bus. The instrument cluster will only turn on the high beam warning light when the vehicle is in power mode 6 and the left multifunction switch on the steering column is in the high beam position.

Tire pressure warning light

Tire pressure warning light (TPMS) controlled by the instrument panel when receiving signals on the medium speed CAN bus from the CJB. The signal is initiated by the TPMS module. The warning lamp illuminates amber during the 3-second lamp test period on command from the TPMS module when the vehicle enters power mode 6. If the warning lamp does not turn off or flashes after starting the engine or while the vehicle is moving, there is a problem with the TPMS system. Tire pressure must be checked manually until the problem is corrected. For more information, see the chapter: Wheels and tires (204-04 Wheels and tires, Description and function).

A control lamp of antiblocking system of brakes

A control lamp of antiblocking system of brakes (ABS) controlled by the ABS module which sends a message on the high speed CAN bus to the CJB. The CJB sends a message to the instrument cluster on the medium speed CAN bus. The warning light illuminates amber for a 3-second lamp test period on command from the ABS module when the vehicle enters power mode 6. If the warning light stays on after starting the engine or comes on while driving, the ABS system is malfunctioning and will be canceled.

If during the lamp test, the control lamp turns on for 0.5 seconds, then turns off for 0.5 seconds, after which it lights up for two seconds of the lamp test, this indicates the presence of fault codes in the memory of the ABS module.

If the warning light was on due to a wheel speed sensor malfunction, the warning light remains on in the next ignition cycle even if the problem is corrected. After the vehicle accelerates to a speed exceeding 20 km/h, the control lamp turns off. This procedure allows the ABS module to perform a full system test to verify that the output from the replaced sensor is correct.

Low Fuel Warning Warning Light

The low fuel warning indicator light is controlled by the fuel gauge software (see above). When the vehicle enters power mode 6, the low fuel warning indicator lamp illuminates amber for a 3-second lamp test. If the fuel gauge software decides that the low fuel warning light should be on, it will flash the warning light at 2 Hz for 5 seconds. The first flash is accompanied by an audible signal coming from the instrument panel. After a 5 second flashing period, the warning light remains on until fuel is added to the tank or the vehicle's ignition is turned off.

Parking brake warning lamp

The red parking brake warning light comes on when a signal is received on the medium speed CAN bus from the CJB. The signal is initiated in the parking brake microswitch, which is wired to the CJB. The parking brake warning lamp will only illuminate if the parking brake is activated and the vehicle is in power mode 6.
