cluster.

Is the voltage within a valid range (11.5 - 13v)?

If still non-operational, contact service center for
cluster replacement authorization.
If granted, install a new Instrument Cluster. See
Removal and Installation and Module
Configuration for details.
TEST the system for normal operation. If
problem still exists, place the original cluster
back to the vehicle.

No

Check fuse / power HARNESS to cluster.
