Test N: Volt Gauge Inoperative
- If IPC diagnostic system check was performed, go to next step. If IPC diagnostic system check was not performed, go to INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. After performing IPC diagnostic system check, go to next step.
- Using scan tool, select IPC SPECIAL FUNCTIONS and perform gauge sweep. See SCAN TOOL under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If volt gauge responds as commanded, problem is intermittent, go to next step. If volt gauge does not respond as commanded, go to step 6 .
- Select IPC DATA LIST and monitor IGNITION 1 parameter on scan tool. If ignition 1 is 8-16 volts, go to next step. If ignition 1 is not 8-16 volts, go to step 5 .
- Compare IGNITION 1 display and instrument panel cluster voltage gauge. If readings are within 0.5 volt, system is operating okay at this time. If readings are not within 0.5 volt, go to step 6 .
- Check for open or short to ground in Pink wire between IPC connector terminal A13 and IPC fuse No. 19 (10-amp) located in instrument panel fuse block. See Figure . Repair as necessary. After repairs, go to step 7 . If circuit is okay, go to next step.
- Replace IPC. See INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. After repairs, go to next step.
- Recheck system operation to verify the repair. If system operates properly, repair is complete. If system does not operate properly, go to step 2 .
