Temperature Gauge - Reads Low


Number 86-8-12 Date 1/86

Subject: TEMPERATURE GAUGE READS LOW

1985, 86 PONTIAC PARISIENNE

CONDITION:

On some 1985 and 1986 Pontiac Parisienne car models, the temperature may always read to the low end of the temperature scale.

CAUSE:

The above condition is caused by a voltage feedback when the diesel "water in fuel" light bulb is assembled into a cluster for a gasoline engine equipped vehicle.

CORRECTION:

If this condition is encountered, remove the "water in fuel" light bulb from the rear of the cluster and discard. This bulb is only used for diesel engine equipped vehicles.
