TROUBLESHOOTING
If your Nitestar DMI appears to be inoperative, the following steps
should be taken in order to determine if you have an installation
problem, a sensor problem or an instrument problem.
1. Both +12 Volts and Ground to the terminal block MUST be
obtained directly from the vehicle’s battery terminals. Check to
make sure your black & red wires are connected direct to the
vehicle battery. (Remember the In Line Fuse is required). Always
wear safety goggles and protective clothing.
2. Make sure power is going to the instrument by checking with
a meter or continuity tester. Refer to the Operating Manual,
Installation Procedures which will show the pin’s location. If you
do not have power, check for a loose connection or blown fuse.
Always wear safety goggles and protective clothing.
3. Plug in the Nitestar and turn it on. It should begin its Self-
Check, when completed (0) should be displayed in the Speed &
Count windows. COUNT HOLD will flash in the function window.
