Instrument Cluster Gauge Amplifier/Check Gauge Module
- The gauge amplifier is a small printed circuit board located in a pocket on the back of the instrument cluster. There are no provisions for calibration or adjustment.
- The gauge amplifier electrically averages the fuel sender readings so the gauge displays the actual fuel level and not fluctuations due to fuel sloshing.
- The gauge amplifier also supplies the signal to illuminate the check gauge indicator to indicate low fuel, high engine coolant temperature, or low engine oil pressure.
- The fuel gauge and instrument cluster gauge amplifier must be replaced as a set. The fuel gauge and gauge amplifier are calibrated together.
