Pinpoint Test G - Temp Gauge Displays 2 Top & 2 Bottom Bars
- Unplug connector from temperature sender, located on right side of engine near No. 1 fuel injector. Turn ignition on. Wait until prove-out is completed. Temperature gauge should indicate cold; only bottom bar should appear. If temperature gauge does not indicate as specified, go to next step. If temperature gauge indicates as specified, replace temperature sender.
- Disconnect negative battery cable. Disconnect wiring from temperature sender. Remove instrument cluster. Refer to, under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION, ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (EIC) . Measure resistance between connector C1 pin No. 4 (Red/White wire) and connector C1 pin No. 8 (Pink/Orange wire). See Figure.
- If resistance is greater than 15,000 ohms, temporarily substitute known good EIC, then retest system. If resistance is less than 15,000 ohms, repair short on Red/White wire to temperature sender.
