Test J: Charge Warning Indicator Inoperative
- Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Disconnect instrument cluster connector C226. Measure voltage between ground and terminal No. 7 (White/Yellow wire) at instrument cluster connector C226. If battery voltage exists, go to next step. If battery voltage is not present, repair open in White/Yellow wire between instrument cluster and output of fuse No. 14 (5-amp) at central junction box.
- Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect generator harness connector. Measure resistance of Light Green/Red wire between generator harness connector and terminal No. 5 at instrument cluster connector C226. If resistance is 5 ohms or less, go to next step. If vehicle is not a diesel with dual generators and resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open in Light Green/Red wire between instrument cluster and terminal I at generator harness connector C198. If vehicle is diesel with dual generators and resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open in Light Green/Red wire between instrument cluster and terminal No. 67 at PCM harness connector C154. Retest system.
- Remove charge system warning light bulb. Check continuity between terminals of bulb. If continuity exists, replace instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Retest system. If continuity does not exist, replace bulb. Retest system.
