OIL COOLER FLUSHING
Tools Required:
J 35944 Cooler Flushing Tool
J 35944-20 Flushing Solution
Water Supply
Air Supply (with water and oil fil-
ter)
Oil Drain Container
5 Gallon Pail
1. Remove the fill cap on J 35944 and fill with .6
liters (20-21 ounces) of J 35944-20 flushing
solution.
@ Do not over fill
@ Follow manufacture's suggested proce-
dures for solution handling.
Replace cap on
J 35944 and pressurize it to 550-
700
kPa (80-100 psi).
Connect
J 35944 to the transaxle end of the oil
cooler pipe that feeds the BOTTOM fitting of
the oil cooler.
Connect the discharge hose to the TOP oil
cooler pipe and clip the discharge hose to the oil
drain container.
With the water valve on
J 35944 in the "off'
position, connect the water supply to the tool.
Turn the water valve off.
Flush the transaxle fluid by opening the water
valve to the "on" position for about 10 seconds.
Important
@ If water does not flow thru the cooler the
system is completely plugged. Do not
complete the flushing procedure. Replace
the cooler
and/or the cooler pipes as
required.
8. Close the water valve and clip the discharge
hose to the 5 gallon pail. Cover the pail with a
shop towel to prevent splash.
9. Turn the water valve to
the
"on" positon and
depress the trigger to mix flushing solution into
the water flow. Use the bail clip provided to
hold the trigger down.
10. Flush the
cooler with water and solution for 2
minutes. During this flush, attach the air supply
to the air valve located on the tool, for 3 to 5
seconds every 15-20 seconds. This will create a
surging action to ensure complete cleaning.
11. Release the trigger and turn the water valve off.
12. Disconnect both hoses from the oil cooler pipes.
13. Reconnect the hoses to the pipes opposite the
initial flush to preform a backflush.
14. Repeat steps 9 and 10
15. Release the trigger and allow water to rinse
for
one minute.
16. Turn the water valve off.
17. Attatch the air supply to the air valve and dry the
system out with air until no moisture is seen
leaving the discharge hose.
18. Connect the Cooler Feed Pipe to the transaxle.
19. Clip the discharge hose to the oil drain con-
tainer.
20. After filling the transaxle with
fluid,
start the
engine and run for 30 seconds. This will remove
any residual
moistrue from the oil cooler. A
minimum of 2 quarts of fluid should flow during
the 30 second period. If fluid flow is sufficient,
check the fluid flow by disconnecting the feed

INSTRUMENT PANEL: DIGITAL CLUSTER n 23 rn E
ClRCUlT OPERATION
The Instrument Cluster uses a microprocessor
to develop data for fuel supply, coolant tem-
perature, oil pressure, voltage, engine rpm, and
vehicle speed. The Digital Cluster also contains
an Odometer, Warning Indicators, and an Audi-
ble Alarm. The Audible Alarm signals low oil
pressure, high temperature, low or high voltage,
and low fuel.
With the Ignition Switch in RUN, voltage is
applied through the GAGES Fuse to the Battery
Power inputs of the Instrument Cluster. With the
Light Switch in PARK or HEAD, voltage is ap-
plied at all times to the Lights On Dim Input.
The car's speed is displayed in mph or
krnh by
selecting either English or Metric with the
En-
glishNetric selector switch.
Gages and Audible Alarm
With the Ignition Switch in RUN, voltage is
applied through the GAGES Fuse to the Battery
Power Input terminal. With the Light Switch in
PARK or HEAD, voltage is applied at all times
to the Lights On Dim Input.
Fuel Display
The Fuel Display Sender provides a signal to
the cluster that is related to fuel level. With a
full tank the resistance is 90 ohms, and with an
empty tank the resistance is less than
1 ohm.
The microprocessor converts this signal and
activates a 12 segment bar graph which dis-
plays the fuel level. When the bar graph fuel
gage display changes from two segments to
one, the Audible Alarm beeps briefly.
Oil Pressure Display
The Oil Pressure Sender, with a resistance of
0 to 90 ohms, sends a signal to the cluster that is
related
to oil pressure. At zero pressure (0 PSI),
resistance is 0 ohms, and at maximum pressure
(80 PSI), resistance is approximately 90 ohms.
The microprocessor converts the signal and
activates a 12 segment bar graph which dis-
plays the oil pressure. When the bar graph
changes from two segments to one segment
(approximately
4 PSI), the Audible Alarm
beeps briefly.
kmperature Display
The Coolant Temperature Sender sends a sig-
nal to the Instrument Cluster that is related to
coolant temperature. Coolant Temperature
Sender resistance drops from 1,365 ohms at
100°F
(38"C), to 55 ohms at 260°F (127°C). The
temperature display is a bar graph display with
12 segments. When the bar graph changes to all
segments activated (hot coolant temperature),
the Audible Alarm beeps.
Volts Display
The microprocessor in the gages module re-
ceives a signal from the Battery Power Input ter-
minal. This signal activates the 12 segment bar
graph volts display. The volts gage ranges from 8
volts
(1 segment lit) to 18 volts (all segments lit).
Under idling and normal driving conditions, 7 or
8 segments are lit. When the volts gage displays
less than
4 segments or more than 12 segments,
the Audible Alarm beeps.
Tachometer
The Thchometer displays engine speed in rpm.
Voltage pulses are taken from the
Ignition Sys-
tem and sent to the Tachometer. Solid state cir-
cuits process these pulses into a signal that con-
trols the Tachometer display. The Tachometer
responds to the frequency of the voltage pulses,
the number of pulses in a second. This increases
with engine speed. The
'Pdchometer Filter in the
circuit rounds off the pulses and removes voltage
spikes.
Speedometer
The digital Speedometer is operated by an
electronic circuit. The Vehicle Speed Sensor, lo-
cated in the Transmission, generates an AC volt-
age whose frequency is proportional to the speed
of the vehicle. This goes to the Vehicle Speed
Sensor Buffer and then to the Speedometer cir-
cuit board in the Instrument Cluster. The solid
state circuit processes this signal into a control
signal for the Speedometer display.
Odometer
The digital Odometer display is operated by an
electronic circuit. The Vehicle Speed Sensor, lo-
cated in the Transmission, generates an
AC volt-
age whose frequency is proportional to miles
(kilometers) traveled. This goes to the Buffer
and then to the Odometer circuit board in the
Instrument Cluster. The solid state circuit
processes this signal into a control signal for
the Odometer display. Distance Data is stored
in
NV RAM Chip.

GENERAL BESCRIP"T0N
RALLY GAGES
Figure I
The Rally Gage option, available on most models,
consists of an engine water temperature gage, an oil
pressure gage and a voltmeter.
These gages are incorporated into the instrument
cluster and replace the standard warning lamps. The
water temperature and oil pressure gages are
electrically operated from sending units mounted in the
cylinder head and oil filter base respectively. The
voltmeter registers regulated voltage, providing an
indication of the charging system's ability to keep the
battery charged. Continuous readings in either the high
or low voltage red bands can indicate improper voltage
regulation, broken or slipping alternator belt,
a shorted
alternator diode
or a defective battery. Readings in the
yellow band are normal with the engine idling or for
short periods after long engine cranking. However,
continuous readings in the yellow band can indicate
faulty operation. See Section
8A for diagnosis.
TACHOMETER
Figure 2
The tachometer indicates speed of the engine in
revolutions per minute (RPM). The engine can safely
be operated up to a maximum RPM as indicated by the
start of the red bar. Engine operation with tachometer
readings in the red area can lead to serious engine
damage.
Due to its dual-coil design, the tachometer may
not return to zero when the ignition
is turned oft: This
is
a normal condition and should not be diagnosed as
a problem in the tachometer.
TRIP ODOMETER
The trip odometer can be reset by twice fully
depressing the push button located on the right side of
the speedometer cluster. The first depression shows all
zeroes, and the second locks them in position. Both
depressions must be done to avoid possible half cycling
