Test F: Temperature Gauge Inaccurate

NOTE: After repair, clear DTCs and repeat self-test.
  1. Connect New Generation Star (NGS) tester to Data Link Connector (DLC). Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Trigger instrument cluster active command ENGCOOLNT. Observe engine coolant temperature gauge while adjusting ENGCOOLNT active command to read 50% and 100%. Temperature gauge should start at cold, move to half at 50% and full hot at 100%. If gauge does not read as indicated, go to next step. If gauge reads as indicated, gauge is okay. Check water temperature sender and wiring. See SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - EEC-V (GASOLINE) article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE.
  2. Disconnect all instrument cluster connectors. Inspect connectors for corrosion and pushed out pins. Connect all instrument cluster connectors, ensuring they are connected correctly. Operate system and verify if concern is still present. If concern is still present, replace instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If concern is not present, system is operating correctly at this time. Clear DTCs and repeat self-test.
