- Unplug connector from temperature sender, located on right side of engine near No. 1 fuel injector. Turn ignition on. Temperature gauge should indicate cold; only bottom bar should appear.
- If temperature gauge indication is not as specified, go to next step. If temperature gauge indication is as specified, replace temperature sender.
- Disconnect negative battery cable. Disconnect the wiring from temperature sender. Remove instrument cluster. Refer to ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (EIC) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Measure resistance between connector C2-2 pin No. 21 (Red/White wire) and connector C2-1 pin No. 4 (Black/Light Blue wire). See Figure .
- If resistance is greater than 15,000 ohms, replace instrument cluster. If resistance is less than 15,000 ohms, repair short on Red/White wire to temperature sender.
