DIM TEST
When CHEC-0 is displayed in the odometer win-
dow, the cluster's Vacuum Fluorescent (VF) displays
will dim down. If the VF display brightness does not
change, a problem exists in the cluster.
CALIBRATION TEST
When CHEC-1 is displayed in the odometer win-
dow, each of the cluster's gauge pointers will move
sequentially through each calibration point. The
table contains the proper calibration points for each
gauge. If the gauge pointers are not calibrated, a
problem exists in the cluster. If any gauge is out of
calibration, replace the cluster.

ODOMETER SEGMENT TEST
When CHEC-2 is displayed in the odometer win-
dow, each digit of the odometer will illuminate
sequentially. If a segment in the odometer does not
illuminate normally, a problem exists in the display.

SEGMENT TEST
When CHEC-3 is displayed in the odometer win-
dow, each segment of the transmission range indica-
tor will illuminate sequentially. If a segment in the
transmission range indicator does not illuminate nor-
mally, a problem exists in the display board.
