Troubleshooting
Before testing, check the No. I { 10A) fuse in the under-
hood fuse/relay box and the No. '10 (7.5A) fuse in the
under dash fuse/relay box.
1. Start the engine, and check the malfunction
indicator lamp (MlL).
Does the MIL come on?

terminal B 13). lf no open is found, go to step 5.
NO Go to step 4.
4. Do the gauge drive circuit check with the self-
diagnosis procedure (see page 22-56).
Does the temperature gauge needle sweep lrom
the minimum position to the maximum, then tetutn
to the minimum position?
YES Go to step 5.
NO Replace the gauge assembly.l
