Pinpoint Test B: The Instrument Cluster (Ic) Illumination Is Inoperative

NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
  1. B1 CHECK CIRCUIT 29S-LA31 (OG/BU) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Disconnect: IC C2220
    • With the parking lamps on, rotate the instrument panel dimmer switch to the full illumination position.
    • Fig 1: Measuring Voltage

    • Measure the voltage between the IC connector C2220-29, circuit 29S-LA31 (OG/BU), harness side and ground.
    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    1. YES  : Go to  B2.
    2. NO  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
  2. B2 CHECK CIRCUIT 91-GG14 (BK/OG) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Turn the parking lamps off.
    • Fig 2: Measuring Resistance

    • Measure the resistance between the IC C2220-30, circuit 91-GG14 (BK/OG), harness side and ground.
    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    1. YES  : Go to  B3.
    2. NO  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
  3. B3 CHECK FOR CORRECT IC OPERATION 
    • Disconnect the IC connector.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • damaged pins
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect the IC connector and make sure it seats correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    1. YES  : INSTALL a new IC. REFER to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER article. TEST the system for normal operation.
    2. NO  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
