TELLTALE SYMBOLS
Kenworth’s interior allows Body Builders to customize the dash telltale symbols (warning lights)   The editable telltale symbols are located on removable cards inside the baseline cluster   This section will describe how to replace and insert editable cards, as well as how to activate the telltale lights 

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".
