To remove the editable cards follow steps 1-3 in the instructions for accessing gauges and switches (page 6-9) Remove the rubber access cover on the side of the cluster by pulling by hand The access cards have a positive lock To remove the card pry upwards on the lock with a small screwdriver and pull the card out with pliers See Figure 6-8 below that details the cards To reinstall a card slide it in either by hand or with pliers New cards will come with the installation tab (as shown in the figure). After installing the card simply break off the tab by bending.
CVSG Gauges
The right and left instrument panel gauges used with the multiplexed instrumentation are commonly referred to as Commercial Vehicle Smart Gauges (CVSG) Like the central instrument cluster, the 2-inch gauges also receive input data directly from the CECU CVSG’s may be either electronic or mechanical The electronic CVSG’s receive digital data from the CECU via the CVSG data bus The mechanical gauges (i e suspension air pressure, etc ) are driven directly by air pressure Both types of gauges receive backlighting signals from the CECU via a 4-wire "daisy chained" jumper harness that links one gauge to another
When the ignition key is first turned ON, all the electronic 2-inch gauges will perform a calibration "power on self-test".
