Instrument Panel Cluster and DRL Module


The DRL Module is not separately replaceable from the instrument panel cluster.


With the key in the RUN position the following readings should appear when taking measurements at the pins of the instrument cluster harness connector (instrument cluster removed).


BLACK CONNECTOR


Pin L Battery voltage

Pin M Battery voltage

Pin K Continuity to ground

Pin N 0 Volts (headlamps On and headlamp switch in high beam position or flash-to-pass)

Battery voltage (any other time)


Pin 0 0 Volts (headlamps On and headlamp switch in low beam position)

Battery voltage (any other time)

NATURAL CONNECTOR


Pin L Battery voltage

Pin F Continuity to ground (with park brake On) Open (with park brake Off)

If any of the above checks fail, repair an open/short in the malfunctioning circuit.


If all the above checks are correct, the problem is most likely the cluster (connections, flex circuits, etc.) or the DRL module (which is located internal to the cluster housing). Replace instrument panel Cluster Housing. Verify that the complaint has been fixed.
