PINPOINT TEST 2: THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ILLUMINATION IS INOPERATIVE
STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1 CHECK CIRCUIT (LB/R) FOR AN OPEN
  • Disconnect: Instrument cluster 0922-102.
  • Place the headlamp switch in the PARK position.
  • Rotate the instrument panel dimmer switch to the full illumination position.
  • Measure the voltage between the instrument cluster 0922-102 pin 11, circuit (LB/R), harness side and ground.
  • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
Yes Go to next step.
No Repair circuit (LB/R) for an open. Test the system for normal operation.
2 CHECK CIRCUIT (B) FOR AN OPEN
  • Measure the resistance between the instrument cluster 0922-102 pin 1, circuit (B), harness side and ground.
  • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
Yes Go to next step.
No Repair circuit (B) for an open. Test the system for normal operation.
3 CHECK FOR CORRECT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OPERATION
