Pinpoint Test X: The Instrument Cluster Is Inoperative: Testing

  1. X1 CHECK THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER VOLTAGE SUPPLY 
    • Disconnect: Instrument Cluster C220.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Measure the voltage between the instrument cluster, harness side and ground as follows:
      DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

      Connector-Pin Circuit
      C220-1 1566 (RD/YE)
      C220-3 483 (RD)
      C220-5 295 (LB/PK)
    • Are the voltages greater than 10 volts? 
    • Yes  : GO to X2.
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit in question. TEST the system for normal operation.
  2. X2 CHECK THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GROUND CIRCUITS 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Measure the resistance between the instrument cluster, harness side and ground as follows:
      DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

      Connector-Pin Circuit
      C220-2 1203 (BK/LB)
      C220-4 1205 (BK)
    • Are the resistances less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes  : GO to X3.
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit in question. TEST the system for normal operation.
  3. X3 CHECK FOR CORRECT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OPERATION 
    • Disconnect the instrument cluster connector.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect the instrument cluster connector and make sure it seats correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    • Yes  : INSTALL a new instrument cluster. REFER to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER . TEST the system for normal operation.
    • No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
