GENERAL INFORMATION
INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS
There are three instrument cluster assemblies. The
mechanical
clusters
incorporate
magnetic
type
gauges. The electronic instrument cluster incorpo-
rates, a digital speedometer/odometer and electronic
analog gauges.
The mechanical Lo-Line instrument cluster has
magnetic type gauges for coolant temperature, fuel
level and charging system voltage (Fig. 1).
The mechanical Hi-Line instrument cluster has
magnetic type gauges for oil pressure, coolant tem-
perature, charging system voltage and fuel level. The
premium instrument cluster also has a tachometer
(Fig. 2).
If the ignition switch is in the OFF position each
gauge will show a reading, except for the volt gauge.
However the readings are only accurate when the ig-
nition switch is in the ON position.
TACHOMETER DRIVE MODULE
The tachometer drive module is an electronic mod-
ule used to drive a magnetic tachometer in a conven-
tional instrument cluster.
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.
MESSAGE CENTER
The message center includes the graphic display of
the car with illuminating graphics for: low wind-

shield washer fluid, door ajar for each door, and
trunk ajar. It also includes headlamp out, tail lamp
out, and brake lamp out warning lights (Fig. 3),
these lights are operated by a lamp outage module.
When there is no message center there is no door
ajar function.
TRAVELER
The traveler is a five function trip computer. It
uses vacuum fluorescent displays to display: trip
miles, instantaneous fuel economy, trip elapsed time,
trip average fuel economy and, estimate distance to
empty. It is located in the message center (Fig. 4).
WARNING LAMPS AND INDICATOR LIGHTS
The
mechanical
instrument
cluster
assemblies
have warning lamps and indicator lights for ten dif-
ferent systems. These include left and right turn sig-
nals, low fuel level, low oil pressure, high beam
indicator, seat belt reminder, brake system, malfunc-
tion indicator (check engine) lamp, check gauges, an-
ti-lock system and air bag system indicator.
The low oil pressure indicator replaces the Check
Gauges indicator in the cluster assembly without a
tachometer.
In the cluster assembly with tachometer, Check
Gauges indictor illuminates in a warning situation.
This will notify driver to check for a problem in cool-
ant temperature, oil pressure or electrical systems.
CLUSTER AND GAUGE SERVICE AND TESTING
CAUTION: Disconnect battery cable. Before servic-
ing the instrument panel. Reconnect battery cable
when power is required for test purposes.
FUEL GAUGE—FLEXIBLE FUEL
The flexible fuel vehicle uses a dampened fuel
gauge. Methanol fuel causes erratic gauge movement
if the proper gauge is not used.
The unique fuel gauge may be identified by either
a green logo on the face of the gauge or by checking
the part number. Remove cluster from the instru-
ment panel and check the part number on top of the
cluster. Refer to Mechanical/Electronic Cluster Re-
moval for proper procedures. Refer to parts catalog
for proper part number.
