GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the dash gauges and indicator
lamps is to keep the driver informed about the operating condition of the vehicle. If an abnormal condition occurs, the driver is informed by indicator lamp.
The driver can seek service before damage occurs.
Indicator lamps use ON/OFF switch functions for
operation, while gauges use a sending unit or sensor.

GENERAL INFORMATION (Continued)
NOTE: This group covers both Left-Hand Drive
(LHD) and Right-Hand Drive (RHD) versions of this
model. Whenever required and feasible, the RHD
versions of affected vehicle components have been
constructed as mirror-image of the LHD versions.
While most of the illustrations used in this group
represent only the LHD version, the diagnostic and
service procedures outlined can generally be
applied to either version. Exceptions to this rule
have been clearly identified as LHD, RHD, or Export
if a special illustration or procedure is required.

WARNING AND INDICATOR LAMPS
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
SERVICE ENGINE SOONDOOR AJAR
DOME LAMP
The Dome Lamp operates when a door is open or
when the headlamp switch is placed in courtesy position.
ELECTRONIC DIGITAL CLOCK
The electronic digital clock is in the radio. The
clock and radio each use the display panel built into
the radio. A digital readout indicates the time in
hours and minutes whenever the ignition switch is in
the ON or ACC position.
When the ignition switch is in the OFF position, or
when the radio frequency is being displayed, time
keeping is accurately maintained.
The procedure for setting the clock varies slightly
with each radio. The correct procedure is described in
the individual radio operating instructions. Refer to
the Owner’s Manual supplied with the vehicle.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
There are two conventional instrument cluster
assemblies available. The clusters electronically drive
the speedometer, odometer, and gauges (Fig. 1) and
(Fig. 2).
GAUGES
All gauges in the electronic clusters are the analog
type gauges. When the ignition switch is moved to
the OFF position, the cluster drives each gauge to its
lowest position.
The instrument cluster has warning lamps and
indicators for the following systems:
• Airbag
• Anti-lock Brakes (ABS) if equipped
• Brake warning
• Charging System
• Door Ajar
• High beam indicator
• Low oil pressure
• Malfunction indicator (check engine) lamp
• Right and left turn signals.
• Seat belt warning

Fig. 13 Cluster Connector
FUEL GAUGE INCORRECTLY INDICATES EMPTY
The fuel system uses both the instrument cluster
and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to monitor the fuel level sending unit. If the PCM fuel monitoring circuits senses an open circuit, the increased
circuit resistance will causes a false fuel gauge empty
reading. Check for continuity between cluster wire
harness connector Pin J2-10 and Pin 23 of the PCM
(Fig. 12) and (Fig. 14). If there is no continuity,
repair as necessary. If there is continuity, refer to
