Test No. 2: Tachometer Does Not Work: Eclipse
- Connect scan tool to data link connector. Check for Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). If DTC P0300 is not displayed go to next step. If P0300 is displayed See appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE.
- Check speedometer. If speedometer does not operate normally, refer to SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK . If speedometer operates normally, go to next step.
- Disconnect instrument cluster connector Using DVOM, measure resistance between harness side terminal No. 27 (Black wire) and ground. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . If resistance is more than 2 ohms, check instrument cluster connector and harness wiring. Repair or replace as necessary. If resistance is less than 2 ohms, check ignition signal input. Start engine and run at idle. Using DVOM, measure voltage between harness side terminal No. 33 (White wire) and ground. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . If voltage is 10 volts or more, repair or replace instrument cluster printed circuit board or tachometer. If voltage is less than 10 volts, go to next step.
- Check ignition failure sensor (2.4L engine) or distributor assembly and automatic compressor controller (3.0L engine). Also check instrument panel connectors and wiring harnesses. Repair or replace as necessary.
