  3. Turn ignition switch to the "ON" position. Check to see that gauge indicator needle displays correct values. Continue test for 2 minutes on each setting to correctly judge condition. Allowable reading is twice the width of gauge needle.
  4. If reading is within allowable range, proceed to TEMPERATURE SENSOR CHECK  . If reading is not within allowable range, replace temperature gauge.
