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.
