Gauge Assembly Replacement
1.Remove the instrument panel (see page 20-59),
then remove the upper column cover {see page 17-
Place a clean shop towel (A) under the gauge
assembly to prevent scratching the steering
colum n or dash panel.
Remove the screws from the gauge assembly (B).
Disconnect the connectors (C), and remove thegauge assemDry.
Installthe gauge assembly in the reverse order of
removal.
Coolant Temperature Gauge
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?
YES- Troubleshoot the cause of the ECM DTC (see
page 1 1-57), and recheck.
NO-Go to step 2.
2. Check for a multiplex control unit DTC (see page
22,168).
ls a DTC ind icated?
YES Troubleshooting the cause of the multiplex
control unit DTC {see page 22-168), and recheck.
NO Go to step 3.
3. Do the communication line check with the self-
diagnosis procedure (see page 22-56).
ls the word "Error" indicated on the odo/ttip
d isplay ?
YES The gauge cannot receive the signal from the
multiplex control unit and the ECI\,4. Check for an
open in the WHT/GRN wire (gauge connector
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
5. Substitute a known-good ECM and recheck.
Did the symptom/ ind ication go away?
YES Replace the ECM.
NO Substitute a known good gauge assembly. lf
the symptom/indication goes away, replace thegauge assembly.l

Cargo Area Light Test/Replacement
1.Open the hatch.
Carefully pry out the cargo area light (A).
Cargo Area Light: 5W
Disconnect the 2P connector (B) from the light.
Check for continuity between the No. 1 (+) and
No.2 ( )terminals. There should be continuity.
lf there is no continuitv, check the bulb. lf the bulb
is OK, replace the cargo area light.

Audio Unit Removal/lnstallation
NOTE:. Put on gloves to protect your hands.. Take care not to scratch the dashboard and relatedpa rts.
1. Make sure you have the anti-theft code for the radio,
then write down the frequencies for the radio's
preset buttons.
2. Remove the driver's dashboard lower cover (see
page 20-59).
3. Remove the two mounting bolts, then pull out the
center panel (A).
4.Disconnect the audio connector (B) and antenna
lead (C), heater control panel connectors (D) and
HAVC push switch assembly (E), then remove the
center panel.

Remove the four mounting bolts and the audio unit
from the radio brackets.
Installthe audio unit in the reverse order of
removal, and note these items:
. Make sure the audio unit and A/C connectors areplugged in properly, and the antenna lead is
connected properly.. Enter the anti-theft code for the radio, then enter
the customer's radio station presets.

Speaker Replacement
Door Speaker:
1. Remove the door panel (seepage20-4).
2. Pull the top of the speaker {A) straight out, just
enough to release the upper clip. lf you pull the
speaker out too far, you will damage the lower clips(C). Then lifi the speaker straight up to release the
lower clips.
3. Disconnect the 2P connector (B), and remove the
speaKer.
Tweeter:
Carefully pry the tweeter (A) out of the mirror mount
cover, then disconnect the 2P connector (B) from the
tweeter.

Rear Window Defogger
Function Test
NOTE:. Be careful not to scratch or damage the defogger
wires with the tester probe.
. Before testing, check the No. 11 (30A) fuse in the
under-hood fuse/relay box and No. '14 ('10A) fuse in
the under-dash fuse/relay box.
1. Check for voltage between the ve rtica I dividersand
body ground with the ignition switch and defogger
switch ON.
There should be voltage as shown.
. lf there is no voltage. checkfor:- faulty defogger relay.- an open in the BLK, BLK,/YEL, or YEL/BLK wire.- taulty heater control panel.
. lf there is battery voltage, goto step 2.
6V
Check for continuity between the negative terminal(B) and body ground.
lf there is no continuity, check for:. an open in the BLK wire.. Poor body ground at the window antenna coil
mounting bolt.
Touch the voltmeter positive probe to the halfway
point of each defogger wire. and the negative
probe to the negative terminal,
There should be about 6 V with the ignition switch
and the defogger switch ON.
. lf thevoltage is asspecified, the defoggerwlre is
oK.. lf the voltage is not as specified, repair the
defogger wire.- lf it is more than 6 V, there is a break in the
negative half of the wire.- lf it is less than 6 V, there is a break in the
positive half of the wire.

Defogger Wire Repair
NOTE: To make an effective repair, the broken section
must be no longer than one inch.
1. Lightly rub the area around the broken section (A)
with fine steel wool, then clean it with alcohol.
Carefully mask above and below the broken portion
of the defogger wire (B) with transparent tape {C).
Mix the silver conductive paint thoroughly. Using a
small brush, apply a heavy coat of paint extending
about 1/8 inch on both sides of the break. Allow 30
minutes to dry.
Check for continuity in the repaired wire.
Apply a second coat of paint in the same way. Let it
dry 3 hours before removing the tape.

condenser.
Noise condenser capacity:
0.47 a 0.09 microfarads
Wire side ol female terminals
