determined based upon a signal from the coolant
temperature sensor. All other temperature
information is received through the SCP network. If
the gauge reading is in the normal or hot region, it
will display the warmest relative temperature of the
TIM, motor/transaxle, traction battery, or the coolant
system. If the gauge is in the cold region, the
traction battery is cold enough to limit power
output.
The motor enabled gauge indicates that the vehicle
is turned on and is ready to drive. Turning the
ignition to the START position and releasing it will
turn the vehicle on, and the gauge will move to the
ON position. The IAA module operates this gauge
based upon SCP data received from the TIM.
The gear selector indicates in which gear the vehicle
is. The positions include P (Park), R (Reverse), N
(Neutral), D (Drive), and E (Economy).
