  1. Remove the gauge assembly (see GAUGE ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT ).
  2. Inspect the all connectors and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
    • If the terminals are bent, loose, or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
    • If the terminals look OK, go to step  3.

  3. Reconnect the gauge assembly.
  4. Make these input tests at the connector.
    • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If all the input tests prove OK, the gauge assembly must be faulty; replace it.
