Display Scrambled, Segments Half Lit, Segments Missing, Incorrect Display, Display Stuck With All Segments On

  1. Enter self-test mode (hold "TRIP RESET" button in and turn ignition switch from "OFF" to "RUN" position). Observe zeroes on digital display and then release "TRIP RESET" button. If display has "F" on it, replace speedometer module.
  2. If display does not go into self-test mode (no zeroes displayed), "TRIP RESET" button was not held down properly, or button is damaged. Go to SWITCH TEST (MODULE DOES NOT RESPOND TO BUTTONS) test. If display has "P" on it and codes where odometer is displayed, go to next step.
  3. Enter self-test mode. Advance display to test 12 of self-test mode. Display No. 1 of speedometer/odometer and tachometer self-test appears. Inspect display for problems as test is advanced through each step by pressing "TRIP RESET" button. Ensure displays match illustrations. See SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER & TACHOMETER MODULE SELF-TEST DISPLAYS illustration. If displays match, cluster is okay. If displays do not match, replace speedometer module.
