Temperature Gauge Circuit Check
- Check Temperature Sending Unit
Check temperature sending unit. See TEMPERATURE SENDING UNIT
under COMPONENT TESTS. Replace if necessary. If temperature sending unit is okay, go to next step.
- Check Wire Harness For Open Or Short
Turn ignition off. Disconnect instrument cluster and temperature sending unit harness connectors. Using DVOM, check Purple/White wire for continuity between terminal No. 31 (without tachometer) or terminal No. 43 (with tachometer) at appropriate instrument cluster harness connector and terminal No. 1 at temperature sending unit harness connector. See WIRING DIAGRAMS
. Continuity should be present. Check continuity of Purple/White wire between ground and terminal No. 31 (without tachometer) or terminal No. 43 (with tachometer) at appropriate instrument cluster harness connector. See Figure
or Figure
. Continuity should not be present. If continuity is as specified, temperature gauge circuit is okay. If continuity is not as specified, repair open or short in Purple/White wire.
