- Check speedometer. If speedometer is not operating normally, refer to SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK . If speedometer is working normally, go to next step.
- Disconnect instrument cluster connector. Start engine and run at idle. Using DVOM, measure voltage between harness side terminal No. 15 (White wire) and ground. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . Voltage should be 10 volts. If voltage is okay repair or replace instrument cluster printed circuit board or tachometer. If voltage is not 10 volts, go to next step.
- Check ignition failure sensor (2.4L engine) or distributor assembly and automatic compressor controller (3.0L). Also check instrument panel connectors and wiring harnesses. Repair or replace as necessary.
