GENERAL INFORMATION
Using Wiring Diagrams
All Models
INTRODUCTION
This CD obtains wiring diagrams and technical service
bulletins, containing wiring diagram changes from the domestic and
import manufacturers. These are checked for accuracy and are all
redrawn into a consistent format for easy use.
In the past, when cars were simpler, diagrams were simpler.
All components were connected by wires and diagrams seldom exceeded 4
pages in length. Today, some wiring diagrams require more than 16
pages. It would be impractical to expect a service technician to trace
a wire from page 1 across every page to page 16.
Removing some of the wiring maze reduces eyestrain and time
wasted searching across several pages. Today the majority of
these

diagrams follow a much improved format, which permits space for
internal switch details.
Wiring diagrams are drawn in a "top-down" format. The
diagrams are drawn with the power source at the top of the diagram and
the ground point at the bottom of the diagram. Components locations
are identified on the wiring diagrams. Any wires that don't connect
directly to a component are identified on the diagram to indicate
where they go.

IDENTIFYING WIRING DIAGRAM ABBREVIATIONS
NOTE: Abbreviations used on these diagrams are normally
self-explanatory. If necessary see ABBREVIATIONS

article in GENERAL INFORMATION.
IDENTIFYING WIRING DIAGRAM SYMBOLS
NOTE: Standard wiring symbol are used in these diagrams. The
illustration below will help clarify any symbols that are
not easily understood at a glance. Most components are
labeled "Motor", "Switch" or "Relay" in addition to being
drawn with the standard symbol.
Fig. 1: Identifying Wiring Diagram Symbols

WIRING DIAGRAM COMPONENT LOCATIONS
When trying to locate a component in a wiring diagram and you
don't know the specific system where it is located, use this handy
component locator to find the system wiring diagram in which the
component is located. Then, go to that system and locate the component
within the wiring diagram.
For example, if you don't know the specific system in which
the ignition switch is located, look up ignition switch in the wiring
diagram component location tables and go to the appropriate wiring
diagram(s) which contain either full or partial views of the ignition
switch. The full view of the ignition switch is located in Power
Distribution.
The first listing for the component will be the full or most
complete view of the component. Additional listings will be partial
views of the component. Not all components are used on all models.
All components will have a partial view in Ground
Distribution and Power Distribution. Data Link Connectors show
connecting circuits between modules. Alternate names for components
may be listed in wiring diagram component locations tables.

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
Instrument cluster includes speedometer, fuel gauge and
temperature gauge. Fuel gauge has a built-in voltage limiter to keep
voltage supply to gauges at 7 volts. Some models may also have a
shunt-type ammeter, oil pressure gauge, tachometer, voltmeter and/or
turbo boost pressure gauge. Oil pressure gauge uses full battery
voltage. The tachometer operates by pulse feed.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
FUEL/TEMPERATURE GAUGE NOT WORKING
Check for blown fuse, faulty voltage limiter or faulty relay.
Ensure sending unit connections are clean and tight. Test sending unit
for correct operation. Tighten connections in instrument cluster.
SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING
Ensure speedometer cable is properly connected and correctly
routed. If speedometer pointer and/or odometer still do not work,
replace speedometer as an assembly.
TACHOMETER NOT WORKING
Tachometer is serviced as an assembly. If wiring harness is
okay, replace tachometer assembly.
WARNING LIGHTS NOT WORKING
Test for defective sending unit, burned out bulb, or broken
printed circuit. Ensure all wire connections are clean and tight.
TESTING
FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT
Resistance Test
Remove fuel tank sending unit from fuel tank. Measure
resistance between appropriate terminals with fuel float in Full and
Empty positions. See Fig. 1. Compare resistance reading to
FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS table. If resistance
is not to specifications, replace fuel tank sending unit.

OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
Circuit Test
Disconnect oil pressure gauge wiring connector from sending
unit inside the engine compartment. Connect a 12-volt test light
between harness connector terminal and ground. Turn ignition on, but
DO NOT start engine. If test light comes on and gauge needle moves, go
to GAUGE RESISTANCE TEST. If test light does not come on and gauge
needle does not move, repair wiring to sending unit.
Gauge Resistance Test
Remove instrument cluster from instrument panel. See
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Check continuity
between oil pressure gauge terminals. See Fig. 4 or Fig. 5. See
OIL PRESSURE GAUGE RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS table. If resistance is
not within specification, replace oil pressure gauge.

Calibration Test
Adjust tire pressure to standard value. Using a calibrated,
reliable speedometer tester, compare reading of vehicle speedometer to
speedometer tester. See SPEEDOMETER ALLOWABLE VARIATION table. Replace
speedometer if necessary.

TACHOMETER
NOTE: DO NOT reverse polarity when installing tachometer, as diode
and transistor may be damaged.
Calibration Test
Connect a calibrated, reliable tach-dwell meter to vehicle
ignition system. Operate engine at various speeds (RPM). See
TACHOMETER ALLOWABLE VARIATION table. If comparison between tach-dwell
meter and vehicle tachometer readings do not fall in the standard
range of permissible variation, replace vehicle tachometer.

TEMPERATURE GAUGE
CAUTION: DO NOT connect sender wire directly to ground during test.
Circuit Test
Disconnect temperature sender wire from sending unit. Connect
a 12-volt, 3.4-watt test bulb between connector terminal and ground.
Turn ignition switch to ON position. If test bulb flashes and
temperature gauge needle moves, go to SENSOR RESISTANCE TEST. If test
light does not flash and gauge needle does not move, repair wiring to
sending unit.
Sensor Resistance Test
Remove thermosensor (sending unit) from engine block. Place
sending unit in hot water of 158
F (70C) temperature. Check sensor
resistance with an ohmmeter. Thermosensor resistance should be 90-117
ohms at 158
F (70C). If thermosensor resistance in okay, go to GAUGE
RESISTANCE TEST. Replace thermosensor if resistance is not as
specified.
Gauge Resistance Test
Remove instrument cluster from instrument panel. See
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Measure resistance
between temperature gauge terminals at rear of cluster or combination

NOTE: When routing speedometer cable, DO NOT bend cable sharply.
Minimum bending radius is 6" (150 mm). Speedometer cable
length varies with transmission type.
Removal
Disconnect speedometer cable from transmission or transaxle.
Remove instrument cluster from instrument panel. See
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Disconnect
speedometer cable from instrument cluster and/or adapter (if
equipped). Remove speedometer cable from firewall grommet.
Installation
Install new cable. Insert cable until stopper seats properly
in groove on rear of speedometer housing. Pull speedometer cable
through firewall grommet until cable marking is visible from engine
compartment. Install adapter onto speedometer cable (if equipped).
Install instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under REMOVAL &
INSTALLATION. Install cable onto transmission or transaxle. Check for
proper operation.
NOTE: An improperly installed cable can cause fluctuating meter,
noise or damaged harness inside instrument panel.
