4WD Neutral Indicator - Description

4WD NEUTRAL INDICATOR

A 4WD neutral indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not equipped with the optional four-wheel drive system and electronically shifted transfer case, this indicator is electronically disabled. The 4WD neutral indication appears within the reconfigurable dot matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display unit. The 4WD neutral indicator consists of a textual 4WD SYSTEM IN NEUTRAL message which appears in place of the compass/trip computer information in the dot matrix display.

The dot matrix OLED is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board, and is visible through a window with a smoked clear lens located on the lower edge of the tachometer gauge dial face of the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the OLED prevents it from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. The 4WD neutral indicator textual message appears in the same white color and at the same lighting level as the compass/trip computer information when they are illuminated by the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.

The 4WD neutral indicator is serviced as a unit with the OLED in the instrument cluster.
