Odd fog light message!!!

murphyv310 · 27th June 2016, 15:12

Hi.
I'm getting an odd thing happening when switching on the front fogs.
Normally the message centre would say that the front fogs are on for a few seconds and then there would be an Icon on the display but instead its showing the seatbelt warning light in the lower display. Any Ideas?

The ipk is too old for the car.

Cracked it!!!!
The seatbelt warning lamp and the front fogs warning are swapped between the original IPK and the new message centre one (From a ZT) so the overlay is different!!!
Bet that one was never noticed!!!

Cars ancient Phil, Cowley model built April 2000, the new IPK was from a ZT so has to be newer.
See my previous post, got the answer now

Yep that would explain it too!

Cowley overlay has the front fog symbol on the bottom right and the seat belt symbol on the top right, on the later overlays it's swapped! Hence getting the belt symbol with front fogs on, I did think that the message centre gave warning though if the front fogs were on.
So is all this due to a later cluster and a later BCU? All configured with T4 though.

The early overlays didn't have any fog light symbol but did have a warning symbol for the airbag if it was switched off for a baby seat in the passenger front seat.
The front fog warning is a zcs code option for the early ipk's.
The early ones also had a yellow and red led on the Mil light which is evident on the cluster self test.
Another useless peice of info, if you're parking sensors are configured for the ipk sounder and you install a very early ipk, the "seat belt" lamp flashes when in reverse

Blimey Phil.
Very confusing indeed, I wonder what the MOT man will say next March?

Hi.
I had another look ad yes indeed the light is behind the "Child seat" Window......... how does that work and another option I didn't know about.
The one below it is seatbelt, on the later overlays its front fog where the Child seat is!!!!

Probably have a word with Pete!!
