ELECTRICAL LOAD SWITCH
3000GT (DOHC)
1) Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM connector. See
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) LOCATION table under COMPUTERIZED
ENGINE CONTROLS. Go to next step.
2) Turn headlights on. Using DVOM, check voltage between PCM
connector terminal No. 58 and chassis ground. If battery voltage is
present, turn headlights off and go to next step. If battery voltage
is not present, check and repair circuit between headlight relay
connector and PCM connector.
3) Turn defogger switch on. Using DVOM, check voltage between
PCM connector terminal No. 58 and chassis ground. If battery voltage
is present, turn defogger switch off and go to next step. If battery
voltage is not present, check and repair circuit between defogger
relay connector and PCM connector.
4) Turn blower switch on. Using DVOM, check voltage between
PCM connector terminal No. 58 and chassis ground. If battery voltage
is present, turn blower switch off and go to next step. If battery
voltage is not present, check and repair circuit between blower switch
connector and PCM connector.
5) If battery voltage is present and preceding tests do not
show any system or component malfunction and PCM is suspected,
substitute PCM with known-good unit and retest system.

POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION (PCV)
PCV Valve
Remove PCV valve. Shake valve. Valve should rattle if moving
freely. Apply air pressure to valve. Air should flow freely in one
direction only. Connect PCV valve to vacuum hose and start engine.
Ensure vacuum is flowing through valve.
MISCELLANEOUS CONTROLS
NOTE: Although the controlled devices listed here are not
technically engine performance components, they can affect
driveability if they malfunction.
NOTE: To identify PCM A/C power supply voltage terminals, see
appropriate pin voltage chart in J - PIN VOLTAGE CHARTS
article. To identify PCM A/C power supply circuit, see
appropriate wiring diagram in L - WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
A/C Switch & Compressor Clutch Relay
Using DVOM, check A/C power supply voltage from PCM. Turn
ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect PCM connector. Turn A/C
switch and ignition switch to ON position. Check voltage between PCM
A/C power supply terminal and chassis ground. If battery voltage is
not as present, check and repair circuit(s).

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

FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT
Resistance Test
Remove fuel tank sending unit from fuel tank. Check
resistance between appropriate terminals with fuel float in FULL and
EMPTY positions. See Fig. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9. Compare resistance
reading to FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS table. If
resistance is not as specified, replace fuel tank sending unit.

FUEL GAUGE
CAUTION: Gauge coils can be damaged if wire is grounded for too long.
Perform test as quickly as possible.
Simple Test
1) Disconnect fuel gauge sending unit connector wire in
luggage compartment, in cargo space or at tank unit. Connect a 12-
volt, 3.4-watt bulb to harness side of connector between appropriate
terminals. See Fig. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9.
2) Turn ignition switch to ON position. Ensure test bulb
flashes, or stays on, and fuel gauge needle moves. If bulb or gauge
needle does not function as described, repair fuel gauge circuit.
