Hey I've had this orange light pop up now and then. The first time I saw it was last year when I put my winters on, which are oem sizes on the oem rims. A tire was flat, I filled it up an everything was good. But every once in a while, like today, it goes off again and I have no idea why. It glows orange, then disappears now and then. The cluster is for a SR20DET, and there is no icon indicating what it may be.
Thanks.

Wrong,
First light is gas, wiper fluid, anti-lock brakes, cruise control and then check engine light.

^ Weird, I didn't know you could do that. I might try that later. Again, it only pops up now and then, like today I didn't see it at all. It can't be ABS as I don't have ABS, unless that's a reason it can go off, having no sensor for that connected? And my cluster looks completely different than the one posted

Oh, and sorry, it's a 92 SE (LHD), but with an S14 blacktop and a JDM Cluster

But anyways, after looking at your picture again. It looks like it's a modified cluster. You have a Canadian speedo on what appears to be a JDM cluster. What does the redline indicate on the tach? Judging by the carbon fiber, it was definitely once taken apart, and at the same time replaced with a USDM speedo so it could be sold to Canadians and Americans.

^^Yah, if a jdm cluster is in a usdm car, it will display what the usdm cluster would display in that spot. For example, when your cat overheat light turns on , if its in a usdm car, it means the wiper fluid is low :D

Yea sorry I guess I should have specified that too. I broke the old KA clusters plastic cover when trying to install the carbon bezel (this is before I got the SR20), so I bought a jdm cluster from speedtech and installed that with the new plastic instead, prepping for an SR. Redlines at 7.5, and I put the old KA's kph/mph speedo in, rather than stick with the kph only jdm one, in case I ever road trip to the states.
Good to know though, that when the cat overheat goes off that means I have low wiper fluid. Never thought about that before, I've never seen that one go off yet, I guess because I always fill up.
Anyone know what the other ones on the jdm clusters mean? Like, the second and third from the right? I guess on a North American model it would be ABS and cruise? I have neither of those anyways...well at least cruise doesn't seem to work haha.

third from right is brake warning, ex. fluid is low, or ebrake is left on.
