EMISSION MAINTENANCE REMINDER LIGHT (EMR) (IF EQUIPPED)
If equipped, the EMR light (some models may use a reminder
flag) reminds vehicle operator that an emission system maintenance is
required. This indicator is activated after a predetermined
time/mileage.
When performing a smog check inspection, ensure EMR
indicator is not activated. On models using an EMR light, light should
glow when ignition switch is turned to ON position and should turn off
when engine is running.
If an EMR flag is present or an EMR light stays on with
engine running, fail vehicle and service or replace applicable
emission-related components. To reset an EMR indicator, refer to
appropriate MAINTENANCE REMINDER LIGHTS in the MAINTENANCE section.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is used to alert
vehicle operator that the computerized engine control system has
detected a malfunction (when it stays on all the time with engine
running). On some models, the MIL may also be used to display trouble
codes.
As a bulb and system check, malfunction indicator light will
glow when ignition switch is turned to ON position and engine is not
running. When engine is started, light should go out.

CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
WARNING: Contact with live components of ignition system while
engine is running could lead to a fatal electric shock.
RADIATOR FAN
Keep hands away from radiator fan. Fan is controlled by a
thermostatic switch which may come on or run for up to 15 minutes even
after engine is turned off.
RADIATOR CAP
CAUTION: Always disconnect the fan motor when working near the
radiator fan. The fan is temperature controlled and could

start at any time even when the ignition key is in the OFF
position. DO NOT loosen or remove radiator cap when cooling
system is hot.
REPLACING BLOWN FUSES
Before replacing a blown fuse, remove ignition key, turn off
all lights and accessories to avoid damaging the electrical system. Be
sure to use fuse with the correct indicated amperage rating. The use
of an incorrect amperage rating fuse may result in a dangerous
electrical system overload.
BATTERY WARNING
WARNING: When battery is disconnected, vehicles equipped with
computers may lose memory data. When battery power is
restored, driveability problems may exist on some vehicles.
These vehicles may require a relearn procedure. See COMPUTER
RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION section.
BRAKE PAD WEAR INDICATOR
Indicator will cause a squealing or scraping noise, warning
that brake pads need replacement.
HALOGEN BULBS
Halogen bulbs contain pressurized gas which may explode if
overheated. DO NOT touch glass portion of bulb with bare hands. Eye
protection should be worn when handling or working around halogen
bulbs.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (AIR BAG)
NOTE: See the AIR BAGS article in the ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Section.
Modifications or improper maintenance, including incorrect
removal and installation of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS),
can adversely affect system performance. DO NOT cover, obstruct or
change the steering wheel horn pad in any way, as such action could
cause improper function of the system. Use only plain water when
cleaning the horn pad. Solvents or cleaners could adversely affect the
air bag cover and cause improper deployment of the system.
WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental air bag deployment, read and
carefully follow all warnings and service precautions. See
appropriate AIR BAGS article in ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT.
CAUTION: Disconnect negative battery cable before servicing any air
bag system, steering column or passenger side dash
component. After any repair, turn ignition key to the ON

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
Instrument cluster for most models includes speedometer, fuel
gauge and temperature gauge. Optional instruments include clock,
tachometer, voltmeter and oil temperature gauge.
Printed circuit provides voltage to gauges. A voltage
regulator attached to the printed circuit controls voltage to fuel and
temperature gauges. Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are used for most
warning lights. To replace diodes, pull from printed circuit sockets.
NOTE: Volkswagen Tester (1301) is required for resistance tests.
Tester settings are numerical. Settings do not indicate
resistance in ohms. Manufacturer does not supply resistance
value in ohms.
TESTING
FUEL & TEMPERATURE GAUGE
1) Disconnect wire from fuel tank or temperature sending
unit. Connect VW tester between wire and ground. Turn ignition on and
allow 2 minutes for gauge reading to stabilize. Use FUEL GAUGE TESTING
or TEMPERATURE GAUGE TESTING table to compare gauge reading. Gauge
should be within one pointer width of specification.
2) If gauge needle does not move, check continuity between
sender wire and gauge. If needle moves, but does not match
specifications, replace gauge. If gauge works correctly with tester,
but not sending unit, replace sending unit.
