General Information

CAUTION: When disconnecting and reconnecting battery terminals, observe all applicable Notes and torque specifications, as well as instructions on performing OBD program and electrical system function checks as specified. Not adhering to proper disconnection sequence will result in deactivation of Main Battery Switch -E74- and subsequent damage to electrical system components.

The instrument cluster contains an electronic speedometer, tachometer, liquid crystal (LCD) displays for odometer, trip odometer/clock, as well as analog oil temperature, coolant temperature, fuel level and voltmeter gauges. Control and warning lamps are situated within the speedometer and tachometer.

An LCD display for the Multi-function Indicator (MFI) is located between the speedometer and tachometer.

The instrument cluster also supplements various warning lamp displays with control module-controlled audible warnings.

Before troubleshooting or servicing, technicians must be familiar with the functions and operation specifics of the applicable instrument cluster and MFI functions. Always read the owners manual and review specific system functions.

Instrument cluster component functions can be checked using On Board Diagnostic (OBD) program function "Output Diagnostic Test Mode".

Notes on replacing instrument cluster:
- Do not disassemble instrument cluster.
- All control and warning lights are Lamp Emitting Diodes (LEDs) which cannot be serviced separately. LED malfunctions require replacement of instrument cluster.
- Instrument clusters contain no field serviceable components. Malfunctions require replacement of instrument cluster.
- When the replacement of a malfunctioning instrument cluster is necessary, follow exchange part procedures where applicable.
- Complete report form where applicable and return together with instrument cluster.
- Use the original packaging from the new cluster when returning modules.
- The odometer reading must be matched to the new/exchange instrument cluster.
