6 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN COMBINA-
TION METER AND IGNITION SWITCH CON-
NECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2) Measure the voltage between combination
meter connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(i12) No. 9 (+) — Chassis ground (
−):Is the voltage more than 10 V? Go to step 7.Check the follow-
ing and repair if
necessary.
N
OTE:
Broken down
ignition relay.
 Blown out fuse
(No. 5)
 If replaced fuse
(No. 5) blows eas-
ily, check the har-
ness for short
circuit of harness
between fuse (No.
5) and ignition
relay connector.
 Open or short
circuit in harness
between fuse (No.
5) and battery ter-
minal
 Open circuit in
harness between
fuse (No. 5) and

nector
7 CHECK BULB.Is the malfunction indicator
light bulb OK?Repair combina-
tion meter connec-
tor.Replace the bulb. Step Check Yes No
