INDICATOR LAMPS
If an individual indicator lamp is inoperative, see
the diagnostic procedure under the heading for that
lamp. If more than one indicator lamp or a combina-
tion of lamps and gauges in the main cluster or the
gauge package cluster is inoperative, see Gauges in
this section for diagnosis.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM LAMP
The diagnosis found here addresses an inoperative
lamp condition. If the ABS lamp stays on with the ig-
nition switch in the ON position, or comes on and
stays on while driving, refer to Group 5 - Brakes for
diagnosis. If no ABS problem is found, the following
procedure will help locate a short or open in the ABS
lamp circuit.
(1) Disconnect battery negative cable. Remove left
instrument cluster bezel and main cluster assembly.
Disconnect ABS control module connector.
(2) Install a jumper wire between cavity 6 of clus-
ter connector and a good ground. Connect battery
negative cable. Turn ignition switch to ON. Lamp
should light. If OK, remove jumper wire and go to
next step. If not OK, replace bulb.
(3) Turn ignition switch to OFF. Disconnect battery
negative cable and unplug cluster connector. Check
for continuity between cavity 6 of cluster connector
and a good ground. There should be no continuity. If
OK, go to next step. If not OK, repair short circuit as
required.
(4) Check continuity between cavity 6 of cluster
connector and cavity 52 of ABS control module con-
nector (Fig. 6). There should be continuity. If OK, re-
fer to Group 5 - Brakes for diagnosis of ABS control
module. If not OK, repair open circuit as required.
BRAKE WARNING LAMP
The diagnosis found here addresses an inoperative
lamp condition. If the brake warning lamp stays on
with the ignition switch in the ON position and the
parking brake released, refer to Group 5 - Brakes for
diagnosis. If no service brake or parking brake prob-
lem is found, the following procedure will help locate
a short circuit or faulty switch.
(1) Unplug parking brake switch connector. Turn
ignition switch to START position. Lamp should
light. Release ignition switch to ON position. Lamp
should go off. If OK, go to step 10. If not OK, go to
next step.
(2) Unplug brake warning switch connector. Install
a jumper wire between two cavities of connector.
Turn ignition switch to START. Lamp should light.
Remove jumper wire and lamp should go off. If OK,
replace brake warning switch. If not OK, remove
jumper wire and go to next step.
(3) Turn ignition switch to ON position. Install a
jumper wire between brake warning switch connectorcavity for circuit G9 and a good ground. Lamp should
light. If OK, go to step 5. If not OK, go to next step.
(4) Turn ignition switch to OFF. Remove jumper
wire and disconnect battery negative cable. Remove
left instrument cluster bezel and main cluster. Install
a jumper wire between cavity 1 of cluster connector
and a good ground. Connect battery negative cable
and turn ignition switch to ON. Lamp should light. If
OK, repair open in circuit to brake warning switch. If
not OK, replace bulb.
(5) Turn ignition switch to OFF and remove
jumper wire. Disconnect battery negative cable.
Check for continuity between brake warning switch
connector cavity for circuit G11 and a good ground
with ignition switch in START position. There should
be continuity. If not OK, go to next step.
(6) Turn ignition switch to OFF and remove
jumper wire. Unplug ignition switch connectors.
Check for continuity between ignition switch connec-
tor cavity for G11 circuit and a good ground. There
should be no continuity. If OK, go to next step. If not
OK, repair short circuit between ignition switch and
brake warning switch connectors as required.
(7) Check for continuity between ignition switch
connector cavity for G11 circuit and brake warning
switch connector cavity for G11 circuit. There should
be continuity. If OK, go to next step. If not OK, re-
pair open circuit as required.
(8) Check for continuity between metal steering
column jacket and a good ground. There should be
continuity. If OK, go to next step. If not OK, refer to
Group 19 - Steering to check steering column ground
clip installation.
