1. Base Telltale and Gauge Package

The entire cluster assembly is serviced by an exchange unit only. No repairs should be attempted on these clusters, except bulbs. Exchange cluster assemblies are available from Nippondenso Sales, Inc. The success of the Nippondenso cluster exchange program is dependent upon the prompt return of inoperative clusters to the Nippondenso service center. Your cooperation is essential to maintain sufficient quantities of exchange stock.

Infomation required for exchange cluster (warranty and non-warranty):

Dealer Name Dealer Code
Address City
State Zip
Phone Number Repair Order Number
VIN Mileage
Engine Type

Please adhere to the following procedures when a vehicle requires dealer service.

a. Follow the diagnostic procedure in the service manual precisely and completely, using Kent-Moore tool J-33431-B. Proper diagnostics will identify the source of the problem and avoid unnecessary removal and shipping of functional assemblies to the service center. (Call Nippondenso's toll free 800 number if assistance is desired.)

b. When diagnostics are complete, and the fault is determined to be in the cluster, call Nippondenso's service center and request the appropriate unit.
