DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
WARNING: Deactivate air bag system before performing any service
operation. See AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS article. Do not
apply electrical power to any component on steering column
without first deactivating air bag system. Air bag may
deploy.
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 an
ammeter, oil pressure gauge, tachometer, voltmeter and/or turbo boost
pressure gauge. Oil pressure gauge uses full battery voltage.
Tachometer operates by pulse feed.
