Diagnosis & Repair Procedure

  1. Remove ECM cover. Check for proper connection at ECM connector terminals E61-7, C51-3-20, C51-2-7 and C51-3-17. See Figure. If okay, turn ON ignition switch. Measure terminal voltage between ECM connector terminal E61-7 and vehicle body ground. Is terminal voltage 8-12 volts? If yes, replace ECM and recheck. If no, go to next step.
  2. Turn ignition off. Check METER fuse for open. If okay, remove instrument panel. See ANALOG INSTRUMENT PANELS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. Connect harness connectors to instrument panel. Measure instrument panel connector terminal voltage between Black/White wire and vehicle body ground with ignition switch turned to ON position. Is terminal voltage 10-14 volts? If yes, go to next step. If no, Black/White wire is open circuit.
  3. Measure voltage between instrument panel connector G-10 terminal No. 6 (Purple/Yellow wire) and vehicle body ground with ignition switch turned to ON position. See Fig 1. Is terminal voltage 8-12 volts? If yes, Purple/Yellow wire is open circuit. If no, repair or replace instrument panel.
