INTERMITTENTS
INTERMITTENT PROBLEM DIAGNOSIS
Intermittent fault testing requires duplicating circuit or
component failure to identify problem. These procedures may lead to
computer setting a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) which may help in
diagnosis.
If problem vehicle does not produce DTCs, monitor voltage or
resistance values using a DVOM while attempting to reproduce
conditions causing intermittent fault. A status change on DVOM

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.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
FUEL/TEMPERATURE GAUGE NOT WORKING
Check for blown fuse, faulty voltage limiter and faulty
relay. Ensure sending unit connections are clean and tight. Test
sending unit for correct operation. Tighten connections in instrument
cluster.
SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING
On mechanical-type speedometers, ensure speedometer cable is
properly connected and correctly routed. If speedometer pointer and/or
odometer still do not work, replace speedometer cable or speedometer
assembly.
On electric-type speedometers, check for faulty vehicle speed
sensor, input/output sensors or faulty circuit. For testing, see
Page 834 of 1501
Eclipse 2.0L Non-Turbo With A/T
Disconnect sensor harness connector. Check resistance between
sensor terminals. Resistance should be 300-1200 ohms. Replace sensor
as necessary.
OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
Circuit Test (Eclipse, Montero & 3000GT)
1) Disconnect oil pressure gauge wiring connector from
sending unit inside engine compartment. Connect a 12-volt test light
between harness connector terminal and ground. Turn ignition on, but
DO NOT start engine.
2) 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 (Eclipse, Montero & 3000GT)
1) Remove instrument cluster from instrument panel. See
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. On 3000GT, remove air
distribution duct and combination gauges.
2) On all models, check continuity between oil pressure gauge
terminals. See Fig. 17, 18 or 19. See
OIL PRESSURE GAUGE RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS table. If resistance is
not within specification, replace oil pressure gauge.

unit. Turn ignition on. Check voltage between ground and sending unit
harness-side connector. If battery voltage is present, problem is
intermittent. If battery voltage is not present, go to next step.
2) Check sending unit harness connector. Repair as necessary.
If connector is okay, check circuit (Yellow wire) between oil pressure\
gauge and oil pressure sending unit. See WIRING DIAGRAMS. Repair as
necessary. If circuit is okay, go to next step.
3) Remove multi-meter assembly. Check voltage between ground
and harness-side connector terminal No. 10 (Red/Black wire). See
WIRING DIAGRAMS . If battery voltage is present, problem is
intermittent. If battery voltage is not present, go to next step.
4) Check harness connector to multi-meter assembly. Repair as
necessary. If connector is okay, check circuit between multi-meter
harness connector and fusible link No. 6. See WIRING DIAGRAMS. Repair
as necessary. If circuit is okay, go to next step.
5) Turn ignition on. Check voltage between ground and multi-
meter harness-side connector terminal No. 11 (Black/White wire). See
WIRING DIAGRAMS . If battery voltage is present, problem is
intermittent. If battery voltage is not present, go to next step.
6) Check harness connector to multi-meter assembly. Repair as
necessary. If connector is okay, check circuit between multi-meter
assembly harness connector and ignition switch. See WIRING DIAGRAMS.
Repair as necessary. If circuit is okay, go to next step.
7) Turn ignition off. Check continuity between ground and
multi-meter assembly harness-side connector terminal No. 3 (Black
wire). If continuity is present, problem is intermittent. If
continuity is not present, go to next step.
8) Check harness connector to multi-meter assembly. Repair as
necessary. If connector is okay, check circuit (Black wire) between
multi-meter assembly harness connector and ground. See WIRING DIAGRAMS
. Repair as necessary. If circuit is okay, problem is intermittent.
Gauge Sending Unit Resistance Test (Montero Sport)
Disconnect harness connector to oil pressure sending unit.
Start and idle engine. Check resistance between oil pressure gauge
sending unit terminal and engine block. Resistance should be about 2
ohms. Replace sending unit if resistance is not as specified.
REED SWITCH
Continuity Check (Montero)
1) Remove instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Check continuity between reed switch terminals
No. 1 and 2. See Fig. 20.
2) Ensure continuity pulses on and off 4 times per revolution
of speedometer shaft connection. If continuity is not as specified,
replace reed switch.

WHEEL & TIRE SPECIFICATIONS
Tire specifications are imprinted on the tire side wall. The
recommended cold tire inflation pressures are listed on a label
attached to the rear face of the driver's door. These pressures
provide the best combination of ride comfort, tire wear and stability
under normal conditions.
CAUTION: DO NOT mix tires of different design such as radial ply
with bias or bias-belted tires. Mixing tire types will
adversely affect road handling and may lead to loss of
vehicle control. When using snow tires, they must be used
in set of four for maneuverability and safety. DO NOT use
tire chains on front wheels.
