Pinpoint Test SK, Speed Control Indicator In Instrument Cluster Does Not Come On

  1. Checking Speed Control Amplifier: Ensure vehicle is equipped with a Brown speed control amplifier. Speed control amplifier is located behind right side of instrument panel, near glove box, and contains a 6-pin and an 8-pin connector.
  2. If Brown speed control amplifier is used, proceed to step 3). If Brown speed control amplifier is not used, install correct amplifier, and recheck operation.
  3. Checking Voltage At Speed Control Amplifier: Disconnect 6-pin and 8-pin connectors from speed control amplifier. Turn ignition on. Connect positive lead of voltmeter to Orange/Light Blue wire of 8-pin connector and negative lead to Black wire of 6-pin connector.
  4. If voltage reads approximately 5 volts, proceed to step 7). If no voltage exists, proceed to step 5).
  5. Checking Wiring Circuit: Using ohmmeter, check continuity of Orange/Light Blue wire of 8-pin connector and instrument cluster connector C2-2, pin No. 25. See Figure .
  6. If continuity exists, proceed to step 7). If no continuity exists, repair open circuit in wiring.
  7. Performing Display Test: Turn ignition on. Connect jumper wire between Orange/Light Blue wire of 8-pin connector and Black wire in 6-pin connector, and note indicator operation.
  8. If indicator comes on, replace speed control amplifier. If indicator does not come on, proceed to step 9).
  9. Turn ignition on. Connect jumper wire between instrument cluster connector C2-2, pin No. 26 (Orange/Light Blue wire) and ground, and note indicator operation. See Figure .
  10. If indicator does not come on, replace instrument cluster. Install door pillar sticker to indicate instrument cluster has been replaced. If indicator comes on, check continuity of Orange/Light Blue wire of 8-pin connector and instrument cluster connector C2-2, pin No. 26. Repair wiring as necessary.
