Upon application of the brake pedal, the lever
should move down, turning the star wheel. A definite
rotation of the star wheel should be seen if the auto-
matic adjuster is working properly. If no rotation of
the star wheel is observed when the pedal is consec-
utively pressed and released, the respective drum
will have to be removed and the adjuster serviced.
MASTER CYLINDER FLUID LEVEL CHECK
The master cylinder used in this vehicle has the
same fluid level markings as the master cylinders
used in other brake systems on the side of the fluid
resevoir. Refer to the Master Cylinder Fluid Level
Check in the Diagnosis and Testing section of group

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
The instrumentation gauges on NS vehicles are
contained in a subdial assemblies within the instru-
ment cluster. The individual gauges are not serviced
separately. If one of the cluster gauges becomes
faulty the entire subdial would require replacement
and all gauges will have to be calibrated. Refer to the
proper Body Diagnostic Procedure Manual for cali-
bration procedures.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
The mechanical instrument cluster with a tachom-
eter is equipped with a electronic vacuum fluorescent
transmission range indicator (PRND3L), odometer,
and trip odometer display.
The mechanical instrument cluster without a
tachometer is equipped with a cable operated trans-
mission range indicator (PRND21).

(8) Using the indicator adjuster thumbwheel on
the indicator clip below the steering column. Rotate
the indicator thumbwheel to position the indicator
calibration arrow to the center of the N slot on the
instrument cluster mask.
(9) After the indicator has been properly adjusted,
move the shift lever through each gear position to
verify the appropriate gear position has been selected
and the slot is fully covered by the indicator. The left
edge of the indicator will just peek at the left edge of
the P slot in Park.
(10) If the indicator is not covering each of the
selected gear positions when selected, place the shift
lever back into neutral N and readjust the indicator.
Repeat the process until each gear is covered when
selected.
(11) Install the metal knee blocker panel.
(12) Install the lower steering column cover.
