Volt Meter Gauge: Testing and Inspection
If the problem being diagnosed is related to voltmeter gauge accuracy, be certain to confirm proper charging system operation before considering
instrument cluster replacement. Refer to Starting and Charging/Charging System for more information.
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAGS, REFER TO AIRBAGS BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL,
STEERING COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER
PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
Diagnosis of the system voltage input circuit, the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus, and/or the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) should be
performed with a DRB scan tool. For further diagnosis of the voltmeter and the instrument cluster circuitry, refer to Instrument Panel/Testing and
Inspection. See: Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection
