Resistance should be less than 5 ohms. Measure resistance between Purple/Yellow wire at harness connector pin No. 6 and ground. If resistance is as specified, replace instrument cluster printed circuit. If resistance is not as specified, repair Purple/Yellow wire between instrument cluster and sending unit.
