Land Rover Discovery: Instrument Cluster / Diagnosis and Testing

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

For a detailed description of the Instrument Cluster, refer to the relevant Description and Operation section in the workshop manual. REFER to: Instrument Cluster (413-01 Instrument Cluster, Description and Operation).

INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION

CAUTION:

Diagnosis by substitution from a donor vehicle is NOT acceptable.

Substitution of control modules does not guarantee confirmation of a fault, and may also cause additional faults in the vehicle being tested and/or the donor vehicle.

NOTES:

• If a control module or a component is suspect and the vehicle remains under manufacturer warranty, refer to the Warranty Policy and Procedures manual, or determine if any prior approval programme is in operation, prior to the installation of a new module/component.
• When performing voltage or resistance tests, always use a digital multimeter accurate to three decimal places, and with an up-todate calibration certificate. When testing resistance always take the resistance of the digital multimeter leads into account.
• Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines involving pinpoint tests.

1. Verify the customer concern
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of damage and system integrity
3. With the ignition on, check the operation of the audio output from the instrument cluster integrated speakers by operating the turn signal indicators (left and right) and verifying that audible feedback (a ticking sound) is present

Visual Inspection

4. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step
5. If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the Symptom Chart, alternatively check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and refer to the DTC Index
6. Check DDW for open campaigns. Refer to the corresponding bulletins and SSMs which may be valid for the specific customer complaint and carry out the recommendations as required

CAR CONFIGURATION FILE ( CCF )

CAUTION:

If a new instrument cluster is to be installed, the instrument cluster renewal procedure must be carried out using the approved diagnostic system. This will ensure that the CCF data is correctly transferred from the central junction box (CJB) to the replacement cluster. The CCF will also need to be updated using the approved diagnostic system if the vehicle is modified in service from its original factory specification. This can include the fitting of non-standard wheels and/or tires and optional accessory dealer install components with an electrical interface, such as park distance control.

The CCF contains all relevant data about the specification and market condition of the applicable vehicle, immobilization codes and driver personal settings. This information is retained in the CJB, the engine control module (ECM) and the instrument cluster enabling each system module to detect which systems and components are installed to the vehicle. The information is continuously transferred between these three system modules to ensure that the data is constantly backed-up between the modules.

DTC INDEX

For a list of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) that could be logged on this vehicle, please refer to Section 100-00. REFER to: Diagnostic Trouble Code Index - DTC: Instrument Cluster (IC) (100-00 General Information, Description and Operation).
