Instrument Cluster Lamps

Every time the vehicle is switched to the START/ RUN position, the cluster goes through a BULB CHECK. This tests most of the indicator lamps and Vacuum Fluorescent (VF) displays. If only one lamp is out, remove the instrument cluster and replace the defective bulb or Light Emitting Diode (LED). If some or all of the lamps fail to light, refer to the proper Body Diagnostics Procedures Manual.

To diagnose the duster lamps first place the cluster in self-diagnostic mode. With the ignition switch in the OFF position, press the trip odometer reset button down. Simultaneously turn the ignition key to the ON position and release the trip reset button. All the indicator lamps and VF displays should illuminate except for the fog lamp, turn signal, and high beam select indicators.
