Electronic Instrument Cluster

Inspection and Verification
Visually inspect the components. Check for damaged components, blown fuses, and loose or corroded connections. Check the wiring harness for obvious signs of shorts, opens, bad connections, or damage.

Verify circuit operation. Verify speedometer and odometer operation by road-testing the vehicle.

Electronic Instrument Cluster (EIC) Self Test






1. Press E/M and Select simultaneously while turning the ignition switch from OFF to the RUN position. The instrument cluster will enter special test mode and display information in the center display opening. Information displayed includes a number in the speedometer and two numbers in the odometer. The tachometer bar will also be illuminated. Both the left and right display openings will be off.
2. If any of the information in the center opening flashes on and off continuously, the instrument cluster is damaged and should be replaced. If the display does not flash, turn ignition switch off to leave the special test mode. Continue through the diagnosis section. (The instrument cluster may or may not be faulty at this point.)

NOTE: Perform Electronic Instrument Cluster (EIC) Self Test prior to performing Pinpoint Tests.
