Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Description & Operation: Notes
The optional Electronic Instrument Cluster (EIC) consists of 2 multi-colored Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) modules and a graphic warning display center. The 2 electronic modules are speedometer/odometer module, and tachometer/multigauge module. The EIC is operational with ignition switch in RUN position.
The EIC is illuminated by bulbs which are a part of the cluster, not the modules. When headlights are turned on, LCD bulbs are switched over to the dimming rheostat through a relay. The EIC communicates warnings and acknowledges commands through tones sounded through a connection to a tone generator.
It is normal for the 2 displays to be slightly out of sync with each other. Each time the ignition is turned on, the electronic display will go through a bulb check by momentarily lighting all display segments and turning them off. The left display is a tachometer/multigauge module, displaying fuel remaining, engine temperature, oil pressure, charging system voltage or engine RPM.
The center cluster display is a speedometer/odometer module, displaying vehicle speed in either MPH or km/h and trip mileage. The right display provides information on washer fluid level and warning lights, including DOOR-AJAR, HIGH-BEAMS ON, FASTEN SEAT BELT and BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE. See Fig 1 .
