DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
AUTOSTICK
Vehicles with Autostick will have a unique Trans-
mission Range Indicator display (Fig. 2). When in the
Autostick mode, a box around the gear position will
be displayed to inform the driver which transmission
gear is currently engaged.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

In order to diagnose the instrument cluster func-
tion, a DRB lll scan tool and the proper Body Diag-
nostic Procedures Manual are required.
As a quick diagnosis, the cluster will perform a
function check immediately after the ignition is
switched to the RUN/START position. The electronic
display, odometer and transmission range indicator
and all warning lamps except:
• Cruise
• Fog lamps
• High beam
• Low fuel
• Turn signal
will illuminate for a brief period.
If the cluster is not receiving CCD bus messages,
the cluster will appear nonfunctional except for the
continuously illuminated AIRBAG, ABS, and CHECK
ENGINE indicators and NO BUS message displayed.
If the cluster is not receiving CCD bus messages,
refer to the pre-diagnostic test described in proper
Body Diagnostic Procedures Manual or refer to the
Instrument Cluster Self-Diagnostic Test below.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SELF- DIAGNOSTICS

Initiate instrument
depressing the odometer/trip reset button while turn-
ing the ignition key to the OFF/RUN/START posi-
Indicator
cluster self-diagnostic
tion. This will cycle an electronic display segment
check and illumination in sequence of all CCD bus
activated cluster warning indicators. There are four
Check (CHEC) functions:
(1) CHEC 1, checks the gauges.
(2) CHEC 2, checks the warning lamps.
(3) CHEC 3, checks the odometer/trip meter.
(4) CHEC 4, Transmission Range Indicator for the
automatic transmission or the autostick transmis-
sion.
If the diagnostic procedure determines that a
replacement of an instrument cluster component is
required, refer to the proper component removal pro-
cedure.

CHEC 1
(1) If all gauges fail to move, replace Cluster
Printed Circuit (PC) Board.
(2) If any gauge fails to move, replace the gauge
assembly.
(3) If any gauge(s) is not in the proper position,
replace Cluster Printed Circuit Board.
CHEC 2
(1) If any lamp does not light, check lamp.
(2) If lamp is not OK, replace lamp.
(3) If lamp is OK, replace Cluster Printed Circuit
by
Board.
