System Diagnosis

  1. Verify complaint using SYSTEM CHECK  . Use SOMERSET ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT PANEL VOLTAGE & RESISTANCE CHARTS to test instrument panel. See Fig 1 and Fig 2 . Measure all voltages to ground with ignition switch in "RUN" position.
  2. Measure all resistances to ground with ignition off and negative battery cable disconnected. Check that all terminals in connectors are properly seated and not pushed out of connector.
  3. If correct voltage and resistance readings are found at terminals, and panel function that uses those terminals does not operate, replace digital cluster.
