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.
