Gauge Assembly Replacement
1.Remove the instrument panel (see page 20-59),
then remove the upper column cover {see page 17-
Place a clean shop towel (A) under the gauge
assembly to prevent scratching the steering
colum n or dash panel.
Remove the screws from the gauge assembly (B).
Disconnect the connectors (C), and remove thegauge assemDry.
Installthe gauge assembly in the reverse order of
removal.

Troubleshooting
Before testing, check the No. I { 10A) fuse in the under-
hood fuse/relay box and the No. '10 (7.5A) fuse in the
under dash fuse/relay box.
1. Start the engine, and check the malfunction
indicator lamp (MlL).
Does the MIL come on?
YES- Troubleshoot the cause of the ECM DTC (see
page 1 1-57), and recheck.
NO-Go to step 2.
2. Check for a multiplex control unit DTC (see page
22,168).
ls a DTC ind icated?
YES Troubleshooting the cause of the multiplex
control unit DTC {see page 22-168), and recheck.
NO Go to step 3.
3. Do the communication line check with the self-
diagnosis procedure (see page 22-56).
ls the word "Error" indicated on the odo/ttip
d isplay ?
YES The gauge cannot receive the signal from the
multiplex control unit and the ECI\,4. Check for an
open in the WHT/GRN wire (gauge connector
terminal B 13). lf no open is found, go to step 5.
NO Go to step 4.
4. Do the gauge drive circuit check with the self-
diagnosis procedure (see page 22-56).
Does the temperature gauge needle sweep lrom
the minimum position to the maximum, then tetutn
to the minimum position?
YES Go to step 5.
NO Replace the gauge assembly.l
5. Substitute a known-good ECM and recheck.
Did the symptom/ ind ication go away?
YES Replace the ECM.
NO Substitute a known good gauge assembly. lf
the symptom/indication goes away, replace thegauge assembly.l
