GENERAL INFORMATION
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
There are two conventional instrument cluster as-
semblies available. The clusters incorporates mag-
netic type gauges and an electronically driven
speedometer and odometer assembly (Fig. 1 and 2).
MAGNETIC GAUGES
All gauges on the AP Body clusters are the mag-
netic type gauges. When the ignition switch is in the
OFF position each gauge, except for the voltmeter
and tachometer will show a reading. However, the
readings are only accurate when the ignition switch
is in the ON position.
TACHOMETER DRIVE MODULE
The tachometer drive module is an electronic mod-
ule used to drive the magnetic tachometer in the
high line cluster. This module is located on top of the instrument
cluster.
ELECTRONIC DIGITAL CLOCK
The electronic digital clock is in the radio. The
clock and radio each use the display panel built into
the radio. A digital readout indicates the time in
hours and minutes whenever the ignition switch is in
the ON or ACC position. When the ignition switch is in the OFF position, or
when the radio frequency is being displayed, time
keeping is accurately maintained. The procedure for setting the clock varies slightly
with each radio. The correct procedure is described
under the individual radio operating instructions re-
fer to the Sound Systems Manual supplied with the
vehicle.
WARNING LAMPS AND INDICATOR LIGHTS
The instrument cluster has warning and indicators
lamps for eight different systems:
² Low oil pressure
² Brake warning
² Seat belt warning
² Malfunction indicator (check engine) lamp
² Air Bag
² High beam indicator
² Right and left turn signals.
² Anti-lock (ABS)
CLUSTER AND GAUGE SERVICE AND TESTING
CAUTION: Disconnect the negative battery cable
before servicing the instrument panel. When power
is required for test purposes, reconnect battery ca-
ble for test only. Disconnect the negative battery
cable after test and before continuing service pro-
cedures.
SENDING UNIT TEST
Check for a defective sending unit or wiring, when
a problem occurs with a cluster gauge. Do this before
disassembling the cluster. (1) Sending units and wiring can be checked by
grounding the connector leads, at the sending unit,
in the vehicle. (2) With the ignition in the ON position, a
grounded input will cause the fuel or temperature
gauge to read at or above maximum.

FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT TEST
Refer to Group 14, Fuel for test procedures.
LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LAMP TEST
The low oil pressure warning lamp will illuminate
when the ignition key is turned to the ON position
without engine running. The lamp also illuminates
should the engine oil pressure drop below a safe oil
pressure level. To test the system turn ignition key to the ON po-
sition. If the lamp fails to light, inspect for a broken
or disconnected wire at the oil pressure combination
unit, located at the front of the engine (Fig. 3). If the
wire at the connector checks good, pull connector
loose from the switch and with a jumper wire ground
connector to the engine. With the ignition key turned
to the ON position check the warning lamp. If lamp
still fails to light, inspect for a burned out lamp or
disconnected socket in the cluster.
COMBINATION OIL SENDING UNIT TEST
The combination oil sending unit has two func-
tions: (1) The normal closed circuit keeps the oil pressure
warning lamp on until there is oil pressure (Fig. 4).
(2) The sending unit provides a resistance that
varies with oil pressure. To test the normally closed oil lamp circuit, discon-
nect the locking connector and measure the resis-
tance between the switch terminal and the metal
housing. The ohmmeter should read continuity. Start
the engine. If there is oil pressure, the ohmmeter should read
an open circuit. To test the sending unit, measure the resistance
between the sending unit terminal and the metal
housing. The ohmmeter should no continuity. Start
the engine. The ohmmeter should read between 30 to 55 ohms,
depending on engine speed, oil temperature and oil
viscosity. If the above results are not obtained, replace the
sending unit.
SEAT BELT WARNING SYSTEM
For testing of this system refer to Group 8M, Re-
straint Systems.
AIR BAG WARNING SYSTEM
For testing of this system refer to Group 8M, Re-
straint Systems.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR (CHECK ENGINE) SYSTEM
For testing of this system using DRB II, refer to
the Body Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures.
BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LAMP TEST
The brake warning lamp illuminates when parking
brake is applied with ignition key turned ON. The
same lamp will also illuminate should one of the two
service brake systems fail when brake pedal is ap-
plied. Refer to Brake system warning Lamp Diagno-
sis (Fig. 5). To test system turn ignition key ON and apply
parking brake. If lamp fails to light, inspect for a
burned out lamp, disconnected socket, a broken or
disconnected wire at switch. The lamp also lights
when the ignition switch is turned to start. To test service brake warning system, raise vehicle
on a hoist and open a wheel cylinder bleeder while a
helper depresses brake pedal and observes warning
lamp. If lamp fails to light, inspect for a burned out
lamp, disconnected socket, a broken or disconnected
wire at switch. If lamp is not burned out and wire continuity is
proven, replace brake warning switch in brake line
Tee fitting mounted on frame rail in engine compart-
ment below master cylinder (Fig. 6).
CAUTION: If wheel cylinder bleeder was opened
check master cylinder fluid level.
