STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1

VERIFY WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN COMMON POWER SUPPLY OF WARNING LIGHTS AND INDICATOR LIGHTS, OR IN OTHER WARNING LIGHTS AND INDICATOR LIGHTS
  • Do other warning and indicator lights illuminate when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position?

Yes

Go to step 4.

No

Go to the next step.

2

INSPECT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER POWER SUPPLY FUSE
  • Is the instrument cluster ignition power supply fuse normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Inspect for a short to ground on the circuit with the blown fuse.

Repair or replace if necessary.

Install appropriate amperage fuse.

*3

VERIFY WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN WIRING HARNESS (INSPECT FOR CONTINUITY BETWEEN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER POWER SUPPLY AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER) OR INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
  • Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

  • Measure the voltage at instrument cluster connector (12-pin) terminal 1G.

  • Is the voltage approx. 12 V?

Yes

Replace the instrument cluster (open circuit in instrument cluster).

(See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

No

Inspect for an open circuit between the instrument cluster and ground.

Repair or replace if necessary.

CONFIRM DTCS U0121, U0100 AND U0214 USING M-MDS:
  • Retrieve DTCs from the instrument cluster.

  • Are DTCs U0121, U0100 and U0214 retrieved?

Yes

Replace the instrument cluster (open circuit in instrument cluster).

(See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

No

Inspect network communication for related system malfunction.

Repair or replace if necessary.
