Condition Possible Cause Corrective Action

○When the engine is turned off,

the pointers of gauges don't
point at the bottom.

○When the ignition key is turned

on, the movement of the
pointers are strange.

○The genuine water temperature

gauge points a constant value,
but the pointer of DIN-Gauge's
water temperature continues to
move.

○The indication of water and oil

temperature is not accurate. It
indicates lower values.

○Engine gets hot gradually, but

water temperature indication
begins to go up suddenly when
a short time passes after the
engine is started.

○Gauge pointers move

abnormally.

○Does not operate.

○The car condition is not good

after installing the product.

○The illumination switch of the

vehicle is turned on, but the
gauge Illumination does not
come up.

○TEMP1 (30℃〜 150℃) is

connected to water temperature
and TEMP2 (50℃〜 150℃) is
connected to oil temperature, but
the display is opposite.

○When the ignition key is turned

off, the movement of the
pointers is strange.

○The battery wire (+B, red color) of the

Power Wire is not properly installed.

○The fuse is blown out.

○DIN-Gauge carries out the opening

mode. The check function is also
carried out during the opening mode.

○The genuine water temperature's

pointer doesn't move at a certain
value except in a dangerous
conditions so as not to make the
drivers nervous. DIN-Gauge's water
temperature gauge points an
accurate value.

○In the case that a conversion adapter

or a Three-way joint is used between
a sensor attachment and the sensor,
sensors cannot measure the
accurate temperature.

○This happens because the water

temperature sensor is installed at an
upper hose coming out from the
radiator, and the thermostat opens to
circular the coolants.
