GENERAL INFORMATION

INTRODUCTIONThe purpose of the dash gauges and indica tor

lamps is to keep the dr iver informed about the oper-a t ing condit ion of the vehicle. If an abnormal condi-t ion occurs, the dr iver is informed by indica tor lamp.

The dr iver can seek service before damage occurs.Indica tor lamps use ON/OFF switch funct ions for

opera t ion , while gauges use a sending unit or sensor.

PL INSTRUMENT PANEL AND SYSTEMS 8E - 1

NOTE: This group covers both Left-Hand Drive(LHD) and Right-Hand Drive (RHD) versions of thismodel. Whenever required and feasible, the RHDversions of affected vehicle components have beenconstructed as mirror-image of the LHD versions.While most of the illustrations used in this grouprepresent only the LHD version, the diagnostic andservice procedures outlined can generally beapplied to either version. Exceptions to this rulehave been clearly identified as LHD, RHD, or Exportif a special illustration or procedure is required.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

DOMELAMPThe Dome Lamp opera tes when a door is open or

when the headlamp switch is placed in cour tesy posi-t ion .

ELECTRONICDIGITAL CLOCKThe elect ron ic digita l clock is in the radio. The

clock and radio each use the display panel built in tothe radio. A digita l readout indica tes the t ime inhours and minutes whenever the ignit ion switch is inthe ON or ACC posit ion .When the ignit ion switch is in the OFF posit ion , or

when the radio frequency is being displayed, t imekeeping is accura tely main ta ined.The procedure for set t ing the clock var ies sligh t ly

with each radio. The cor rect procedure is descr ibed inthe individua l radio opera t ing inst ruct ions. Refer tothe Owner’s Manual supplied with the vehicle.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTERThere are two convent iona l inst rument cluster

assemblies ava ilable. The clusters elect ron ica lly dr ivethe speedometer, odometer, and gauges (Fig. 1) and(Fig. 2).

GAUGESAll gauges in the elect ron ic clusters a re the ana log

type gauges. When the ignit ion switch is moved tothe OFF posit ion , the cluster dr ives each gauge to it slowest posit ion .

WARNINGAND INDICATOR LAMPSThe inst rument cluster has warn ing lamps and

indica tors for the following systems:• Airbag• Ant i-lock Brakes (ABS) if equipped• Brake warning• Charging System• Door Ajar• High beam indica tor• Low oil pressure• Malfunct ion indica tor (check engine) lamp• Right and left tu rn signa ls.• Seat belt warn ing

CAUTION: Disconnect the battery negative cablebefore servicing the instrument panel or compo-nents. When power is required for test purposes,connect battery cable for test only. Disconnect thebattery negative cable after test and before continu-ing service procedures.

LOWOIL PRESSUREWARNINGLAMP TESTThe low oil pressure warn ing lamp will illumina te

when the ignit ion switch is turned to the ON posit ionwithout engine running. The lamp also illumina tes if

the engine oil pressure drops below a safe oil pres-sure level.To test the system, turn the ignit ion switch to the

ON posit ion . If the lamp fa ils to ligh t , inspect for abroken or disconnected wire a t the oil pressureswitch , loca ted a t the front of the engine (Fig. 11). Ifthe wire a t the connector checks good, pull the con-nector loose from the switch and with a jumper wire,ground the connector to the engine. With the ignit ionswitch turned to the ON posit ion , check the warn inglamp. If the lamp st ill fa ils to ligh t , inspect for aburned out lamp or disconnected socket in the clus-ter .

MULTIPLEGAUGE INOPERATIVETESTTest speedometer, tachometer and other gauges for

malfunct ion :(1) Remove the cluster. Refer to Cluster Removal

or the connectors are not distor ted, replace thepr in ted circu it board.(5) Insta ll cluster .

INDIVIDUAL GAUGE INOPERATIVE

FUEL GAUGE(1) Disconnect the fuel gauge sending unit .(2) Turn the ignit ion switch to the ON posit ion .

The fuel gauge should be a t it s lowest posit ion . Turnthe ignit ion switch OFF.(3) Ground fuel gauge sending unit connector Pin

3. Refer to Group 8W, Wir ing Diagrams. Turn igni-t ion switch to the ON posit ion . The fuel gauge shouldbe a t it s h ighest posit ion . Turn ignit ion switch OFFthen ON, after a sending unit signa l change to dis-able the cluster elect ron ic gauge dampening mecha-n ism.

(a ) If OK, check the fuel gauge sending unit con-nector for proper connect ion . If the connect ions areOK, refer to Group 14 Fuel System for Fuel LevelSensor Diagnosis.(b) If not OK, connect the sending unit . Remove

the cluster and check for an open or shor t in thesending unit wir ing. The sending unit will be lessthan 1080 ohms and grea ter than 50 ohms depend-ing upon fuel level. If the sending unit wir ing isopen or a shor t circu it , repa ir as necessary.(c) If the sending unit wir ing is OK, replace the

gauge assembly. If the condit ion persist s, replacethe cluster pr in ted circu it board.

FUEL GAUGE INCORRECTLY INDICATESEMPTYThe fuel system uses both the inst rument cluster

and the Power t ra in Cont rol Module (PCM) to moni-tor the fuel level sending unit . If the PCM fuel mon-itor ing circu it s senses an open circu it , the increasedcircu it resistance will causes a fa lse fuel gauge emptyreading. Check for cont inu ity between cluster wireharness connector Pin J 2-10 and Pin 23 of the PCM(Fig. 12) and (Fig. 14). If there is no cont inu ity,repa ir as necessary. If there is cont inu ity, refer toFuel Gauge test .

t ions, the poin t where the lamp illumina tes, mayvary from 1/16 to 3/16 mark on the fuel gauge. Thereis a built in t ime delay before the lamp illumina tes.This prevents the lamp from going on and off undervar ious road condit ions.(1) Ver ify tha t the fuel gauge is opera t ing proper ly.(2) Check the low fuel warn ing lamp assembly.(3) If the lamp st ill does not funct ion under a low

fuel condit ion replace the pr in ted circu it board.

TACHOMETER CIRCUIT(1) Remove the cluster. Refer to Cluster Removal.(2) Check for ba t tery voltage a t P in J 1-6 of the

cluster wire harness connector (F ig. 12).(3) With the ignit ion switch in the ON posit ion ,

check for ba t tery voltage a t P in J 1-5 connector.(4) Check Pin J 1-8 of the connector for cont inu ity

to ground.(5) Check for tachometer signa l from the Power-

t ra in Cont rol Module by connect ing an AC DIGITALVOLTMETER to Pin J 1-7 of the connector andground. A reading of a t least 1.0 volt should bepresent with the engine running.

(a ) If the voltage is NOT with in specifica t ion , goto Step 6.(b) If the voltage is with in specifica t ion , go to

Step 7.(6) If there is less than 1.0 volt a t P in J 1-7 of the

connector, check for cont inu ity between Pin J 1-7 andPin 73 of the Power t ra in Cont rol Module connector(F ig. 14). Also, check the connector a t the Power t ra inCont rol Module for damaged pins or termina l pushouts.(7) If the voltage is less than 1.0 volt a t P in J 1-7 of

the connector and there is cont inu ity between PinJ 1-7 and Pin 73 of the PCM connector, replace thePower t ra in Cont rol Module.(8) If a ll t est s per formed test good, replace the dia l

replace the pr in t circu it board.

TEMPERATURE GAUGE(1) Disconnect the coolan t tempera ture sensor

(F ig. 15).(2) Turn ignit ion switch ON. The tempera ture

gauge should be a t it s lowest posit ion . Turn ignit ionswitch OFF.(3) Ground tempera ture gauge sending unit con-

nector Pin 3. Refer to Group 8W, wir ing Diagrams.Turn ignit ion switch ON. The tempera ture gaugeshould be a t it s h ighest posit ion . After the sea t beltlamp goes out , the cluster should chime for abouteigh t seconds.

(a ) If OK, check tempera ture sending unit con-nector for proper connect ion . If connect ions are OK,replace the sending unit .

(b) If not OK, and the high tempera ture chimesounds but the gauge shows cold, replace the gaugeassembly. If gauge is st ill not working, replace thepr in ted circu it board.

SPEEDOMETER SYSTEMThe vehicle is equipped with a elect ron ica lly dr iven

speedometer and odometer assemblies. A signa l issen t from a t ransmission-mounted vehicle speed sen-sor to the speedometer circu it ry through the wir ingharness.

SENDINGUNITWhen a problem occurs with a cluster gauge check

for a defect ive sending unit or wir ing. Do th is beforedisassembling the cluster.(1) Sending unit s and wir ing can be checked by

grounding the connector leads a t the sending unit inthe vehicle.(2) With the ignit ion in the ON posit ion , a

grounded input will cause the fuel or tempera turegauge to read a t or above maximum.
