Instrument Cluster
The instrument cluster is centered above the steering column in the
instrument panel and is removable from the rear of the panel and is removable
from the rear of the panel (toward the steering wheel). The cluster contains
instruments that provide the driver with information on vehicle performance.
The instrument cluster includes the following components:
• | A speedometer (with integral odometer and trip odometer) |
• | A coolant temperature gauge |
• | An array of indicator lamps |
The vehicle speed reading on the speedometer is shown in both English
(mph) and metric (km/h) while the coolant temperature gauge omits any numerical
readout markings and only contains a range of hash marks between C and H.
The instrument cluster also contains numerous indicator lamps.
The instrument cluster assembly contains the cluster lens, the speedometer/tachometer
gauge module and the voltage/oil pressure gauge module. The electric power
is directed to each gauge modify via separate dedicated wiring harness connectors,
and to the appropriate lamps and gauges within each module through flexible
printed circuits to each gauge module. Although the instrument cluster is
serviceable as both a unit and as individual components (you may remove each
gauge module from the cluster lens for module or lens replacement), the individual
gauge modules are not to be disassembled.
When you replace an instrument cluster, the law requires one of the
following procedures:
• | The odometer reading of the replacement unit be set to register
the original mileage |
• | A label be installed on the driver's door frame to show the previous
odometer reading and the date of replacement |
Since the mileage can NOT be set on the odometer in this vehicle, you
must use an odometer label.
