CHIME SERVICE DIAGNOSIS
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the Chime Service function of the instru-
ment cluster requires the use of a DRBIIItscan tool.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
CLUSTER ILLUMINATION DIAGNOSIS
If the problem being diagnosed is a single inopera-
tive illumination lamp, be certain that the bulb and
bulb holder unit are properly installed in the instru-
ment cluster electronic circuit board. If no installa-
tion problems are found replace the faulty bulb and
bulb holder unit. If all of the cluster illumination
lamps are inoperative, the most reliable, efficient,
and accurate means to diagnose the cluster illumina-
tion function of the instrument cluster requires the
use of a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCI-
DENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE
PERSONAL INJURY.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the cluster bezel from the instrument
panel. (Refer to 23 - BODY/INSTRUMENT PANEL/
CLUSTER BEZEL - REMOVAL).
(3) Remove the four screws that secure the instru-
ment cluster to the instrument panel (Fig. 3).
(4) Pull the instrument cluster rearward far
enough to access and disconnect the instrument
panel wire harness connector for the cluster from the
cluster connector receptacle.
(5) Remove the instrument cluster from the instru-
ment panel.DISASSEMBLY
Some of the components for the instrument cluster
used in this vehicle are serviced individually. The
serviced components include the incandescent instru-
ment cluster illumination lamp bulbs (including the
integral bulb holders), and the cluster lens, hood and
mask unit. Following are the procedures for disas-
sembling these components from the instrument clus-
ter unit.

COMBINATION FLASHER
DESCRIPTION
The combination flasher for this model is integral
to the hazard switch located in the center of the
instrument panel, just above the radio. The combina-
tion flasher is a smart relay that functions as both
the turn signal system and the hazard warning sys-
tem flasher. The combination flasher contains active
electronic Integrated Circuitry (IC) elements. This
flasher is designed to handle the current flow
requirements of the factory-installed lighting. If sup-
plemental lighting is added to the turn signal lamp
circuits, such as when towing a trailer with lights,
the combination flasher will automatically try to
compensate to keep the flash rate the same.
The combination flasher cannot be repaired or
adjusted and, if faulty or damaged, the hazard switch
unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The combination flasher has the following inputs and
outputs: fused B(+), fused ignition switch output, right
turn signal sense, left turn signal sense, and one output
each for the right and left turn signal circuits. The com-
bination flasher also receives an internal input through
the closed contacts of the hazard switch and, on vehicles
equipped with the optional Vehicle Theft Security Sys-
tem (VTSS), the flasher receives an input from the Body
Control Module (BCM) in order to flash the turn signal
lamps as an optical alert feature of that system. Con-
