(3) When testing temperature, allow the engine to
run until the vehicle reaches a normal operating
temperature. Turn ignition OFF, and remove gauge
from cluster. (a) Testing oil pressure gauge, engine needs to
be running. (b) Measure and record the resistance between
sending unit pin and ground pin of the gauge in
question. Refer to Gauge Calibration. (c) It is important to have the same engine tem-
perature and engine speed when checking temper-
ature and oil pressure gauges position. The time
between gauge position reading and sending unit
measuring should be kept to a minimum. (d) If resistance and gauge position are not sim-
ilar, replace gauge. (e) If OK, test resistance from the sending unit
to the cluster connector. (f) If resistance reading is different, check
printed circuit board for contact to cluster connec-
tor. (g) If OK and contacts are not distorted, replace
printed circuit board. (h) If everything checks out OK, refer to sending
unit test.
(4) If fuel gauge does not meet specifications, refer
to Group 14, Fuel for the test procedure.
GAUGE CALIBRATION
(1) Remove the gauge.
(2) Check for ignition voltage and ground to the
gauge. (3) With the ignition key in the OFF position, re-
place gauge. Turn the ignition key to the ON posi-
tion. To test oil pressure gauge engine must be
running. When testing oil or temperature gauge the
engine should be at normal operating temperature.
Record the gauge position. (4) Remove gauge and record the resistance be-
tween the sending unit pin and the gauge ground
pin. When checking gauges, it is important to have
the same engine temperature and speed when noting
gauge position. The time between gauge reading and
measuring should be kept to a minimum. (5) The Gauge Resistance Chart (Fig. 24), is gen-
eral guidelines for checking the gauge position
against the sending unit resistance. Because of only a few specific points of gauge posi-
tion versus sending unit resistance, a good estimate
is need when the resistance falls between gradua-
tions. Even when the resistance corresponds to grad-
uations, the gauge has a tolerance of 64 ohms.
Volt gauge: The calibration dot on the volt gauge
corresponds to 13 volts between the gauge ignition
and ground pins. If voltage varies from this, estimate
proper gauge position with input voltage.
TACHOMETER REPLACEMENT
(1) Remove cluster, radio and rear window defog-
ger bezels and mask/lens assembly. (2) Remove screws attaching tachometer to cluster
housing. (3) Pull tachometer rearward to remove.
(4) For installation reverse above procedures.
TACHOMETER CIRCUIT TESTING
(1) Remove cluster, radio and rear window defog-
ger bezels and mask/lens assembly. (2) Check for battery voltage at cavity A of the in-
strument cluster black connector. (3) With the ignition in the ON position, check for
battery voltage at cavity C of the black connector
(Fig. 25).

ELECTRONIC CLUSTER
SELF DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
The electronic clusters (Fig. 36) have an internal
diagnostics routing to isolate problems within the
cluster or sending units. Using the cluster Self-Diagnostic Test will deter-
mine whether problem is within cluster or outside of
cluster (Fig. 37 and 38). Successful completion of the SELF DIAGNOSTIC
TEST indicates that the problem is in the connectors
or sensors outside of the module. Refer to Fig. 39 for
terminal listing.
CONDITION: CLUSTER DISPLAYS DO NOT ILLUMINATE AFTER VEHICLE IS STARTED
PROCEDURE
(1) Check fuses and verify battery and ignition
voltage at cluster connector. (2) Check ground from cluster connector to instru-
ment panel ground stud. (3) Check lamps, replace if necessary.

grounded input will cause the oil, fuel, or temper-
ature gauge to read maximum.
