DIAGNOSIS

INTRODUCTION TO COMBINATION METER DIAGNOSIS

M1543009900992

All vehicles are equipped with an electrical speedom-
eter, tachometer, fuel and coolant temperature
gauges. The individual gauges are not replaceable. If
the gauges do not function correctly, there is most
likely a fault in the electrical system. All inputs, pow-
ers and grounds must be confirmed as correct before
the combination meter can be condemned.

TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGY

M1543006900528

Use these steps to plan your diagnostic strategy. Fol-
low through with each step to ensure that you have
exhausted all possible methods of finding a combina-
tion meter fault.
1. Gather information from the customer.

2. Verify that the condition described by the

customer exists.

3. Find and repair the malfunction by following the

symptom chart.

4. Verify that the malfunction has been eliminated.
