Once the instrument is mounted and wired into the vehicle (see above), the instrument should be tested to verify that the electrical connections
are working properly. First, watch the display as the power is applied with the key in the accessory position. The display will show “8888”, then
“000”. This action verifies that power is properly connected to the instrument. Start engine. Tach should show idle RPM. If it does not, verify that
the green wire is connected properly and that configuration has been performed.
Operation
When power is first applied to the gauge, it will display “8888”. Then it enters normal operation.
Wiring
• Shift-Lite connector must be plugged in prior to operation.
