Test 9A - Electro/Mechanical Instrument Cluster Diagnostics

NOTE: For connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION. For wiring diagrams, see WIRING DIAGRAMS article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section. Perform TEST VER - 1A after each repair.
CAUTION: Always turn ignition switch to OFF position prior to disconnecting or connecting any module connector.
NOTE: Electro/Mechanical Instrument Cluster (MIC) is an electronic cluster receiving information from CCD link and displaying information in analog gauges. These test procedures cover both base and premium MIC.
  1. Using DRB-II, read instrument cluster I.D. status. If DRB-II displays EIC/US, go to next step. If DRB-II does not display EIC/US, identify instrument cluster problem and perform test as specified. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PROBLEM DIRECTORY  table.
