Dash Alarms

Your Rush SR's AiM dash comes pre-configured with the alarms and icons listed below. To update to the latest configuration, download the appropriate file from the AiM Config Releasesarrow-up-right page and import it into RaceStudio 3.

Text & LED Alarms

These alarms display a text message on screen and/or blink the dash LEDs when triggered.

Oil Pressure

  • Low Oil Pressure (Oil Pressure < 5 psi): LED 4 blinks orange and message "Low Oil Pressure" is displayed. Come in immediately.

  • High Oil Pressure (Oil Pressure > 90 psi): LED 6 blinks blue and message "High Oil Pressure" is displayed. This may just indicate cold oil — monitor the situation.

  • Very High Oil Pressure (Oil Pressure > 120 psi): LED 6 blinks fast red and message "Very High Oil Press" is displayed. This message will not be dismissed until the car is turned off. Come in and check the pressure relief valve.

Water Temperature

  • High Water Temp (Water Temp > 230°F): LED 5 blinks orange and message "High Water Temp" is displayed. Reduce pace and come in soon.

  • Very High Water Temp (Water Temp > 238°F): LED 5 blinks fast red and message "Very High Water Temp" is displayed. This message will not be dismissed until the car is turned off. Come in immediately.

Oil System Health (RPM-Based)

These alarms use the RPM OilP Ratio channel, which compares oil pressure against what's expected for the current engine RPM. Since oil pressure naturally scales with RPM, a raw PSI reading alone doesn't tell the full story — 20 psi at idle is normal, but 20 psi at 8000 RPM would be dangerously low. The ratio channel normalizes this so values above 100% are healthy and values below trigger alarms.

Typical values: 500–700% on a cold start, ~200% heading out for an outlap, 100–150% at operating temperature under load.

  • Check Oil Fill (RPM OilP Ratio drops during hard cornering): LED 6 lights solid yellow. Oil level is low enough that lateral g-forces are starving the oil pickup. Adding approximately 0.25L of oil generally fixes this. The alarm requires sustained lateral acceleration above 1g combined with low oil pressure ratio, so brief dips during transitions won't trigger it.

  • Check Oil Pump (RPM OilP Ratio continuously below 80%): LED 6 lights solid yellow. Oil pressure is consistently low relative to RPM, suggesting a possible oil pump issue. Come in and inspect the oil system.

  • Low OilP (RPM OilP Ratio below 45%): LED 6 blinks fast red. Oil pressure is critically low for the current RPM. Come in immediately.

  • OilP Sender Failed (Oil Pressure reading out of range): LED 6 lights solid magenta. The oil pressure sensor appears to be producing bad data (e.g., reading negative pressure). Check the sensor wiring and connections. While this alarm is active, the oil system health alarms above are suppressed to avoid false alerts.

Other

  • Check Clutch Switch (Clutch switch stuck on above 10 mph): LED 1 lights solid magenta and message "Check Clutch Switch" is displayed. The clutch position switch may be stuck or disconnected.

Icons

Oil

  • An oil pressure warning icon is shown at low pressures (<10 psi) and high pressures (above 90 psi; dismisses below 60 psi).

  • A blue oil pressure icon is shown between 45–60 psi, indicating that the engine is cold.

Water

  • A red water temp icon is shown above 230°F, indicating that there may be a problem with the thermostat or air in the lines. Consider shutting off the engine ASAP.

  • A blue water temp icon is shown below 160°F, indicating that the engine is cold.

Maintenance Intervals

  • A blue oil change icon will be shown at the bottom right of the dash every 640 mi (approx 8 hours). After changing the oil, reset Usr 3.

  • A blue motor refresh icon will be shown at the bottom right of the dash every 12,000 mi (approx 150 hours). After refreshing the motor and gearbox, reset Usr 4.

  • The process for viewing and resetting User Counters is below:
