SENDING UNIT TEST
When a problem occurs with a cluster gauge, be-
fore disassembling the cluster to check the gauge,
check for a defective sending unit or wiring. (1) Sending units and wiring can be checked by
grounding the connector leads, at the sending unit,
in the vehicle. (2) With the ignition in the ON position; a
grounded input will cause the oil, fuel or tempera-
ture gauge to read at or above maximum.
LOW OIL PRESSURE/CHECK GAUGES WARNING LAMP TEST
The low oil pressure/check gauges warning lamp
will illuminate when the ignition key is turned to
the ON position without starting the vehicle. In the cluster assembly without tachometer, the
low oil pressure lamp will illuminate if the engine oil
pressure drops below a safe oil pressure level. In the cluster assembly with tachometer, the Check
Gauges warning lamp illuminates when there is a
problem in oil pressure level, high engine tempera-
ture or low voltage. To test the system turn ignition key to the ON po-
sition. If the lamp fails to light, inspect for a broken
or disconnected wire at the oil pressure combination
unit, which is located at the front of the engine (Figs.
5 and 6). If the wire at the connector checks good,
pull connector loose from the switch terminal and
with a jumper wire ground connector to the engine
(Fig. 7). With the ignition key turned to the ON po-
sition check the warning lamp. If lamp still fails to
light, inspect for a burned out lamp or disconnected
socket in the cluster.
COMBINATION OIL UNIT TEST
The combination oil unit has two functions:
(1) The normal closed circuit keeps the oil pressure
warning/check gauges lamp on until there is oil pres-
sure (Fig. 7). (2) The sending unit provides a resistance that
varies with oil pressure. (3) To test the normally closed oil lamp circuit, dis-
connect the locking connector and measure the resis-
tance between the switch terminal and the metal
housing. The ohmmeter should read 0 ohms. Start
the engine. (4) If there is oil pressure, the ohmmeter should
read an open circuit. (5) To test the sending unit, measure the resis-
tance between the sending unit terminal and the
metal housing. The ohmmeter should read open.
Start the engine. (6) The ohmmeter should read between 30 to 55
ohms, depending on engine speed, oil temperature,
and oil viscosity. (7) If the above results are not obtained, replace
the switch.
BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LAMP TEST
The brake warning lamp illuminates when parking
brake is applied with ignition key turned ON. The
same lamp will also illuminate should one of the two
service brake systems fail when brake pedal is ap-
plied. To test system turn ignition key ON, and ap-
ply parking brake. If lamp fails to light, inspect for a
burned out lamp, disconnected socket, a broken orFig. 5 Combination Oil Unit (2.5L)

disconnected wire at switch. The lamp also lights
when the ignition switch is turned to START.To test service brake warning system, raise vehicle
on a hoist and open a wheel cylinder bleeder while a helper depresses brake pedal and observes warning
lamp. If lamp fails to light, inspect for a burned out
lamp, disconnected socket, a broken or disconnected
wire at switch. If lamp is not burned out and wire continuity is
proven, replace brake warning switch in brake line
Tee fitting mounted on frame rail in engine compart-
ment below master cylinder (Fig. 8 and 9).
CAUTION: If wheel cylinder bleeder was opened
check master cylinder fluid level.

(3) When testing temperature, allow the engine to
run until the vehicle reaches a normal operating
temperature. Turn ignition OFF, and remove gauge
from cluster. (a) Testing oil pressure gauge, engine needs to
be running. (b) Measure and record the resistance between
sending unit pin and ground pin of the gauge in
question. Refer to Gauge Calibration. (c) It is important to have the same engine tem-
perature and engine speed when checking temper-
ature and oil pressure gauges position. The time
between gauge position reading and sending unit
measuring should be kept to a minimum. (d) If resistance and gauge position are not sim-
ilar, replace gauge. (e) If OK, test resistance from the sending unit
to the cluster connector. (f) If resistance reading is different, check
printed circuit board for contact to cluster connec-
tor. (g) If OK and contacts are not distorted, replace
printed circuit board. (h) If everything checks out OK, refer to sending
unit test.
(4) If fuel gauge does not meet specifications, refer
to Group 14, Fuel for the test procedure.
GAUGE CALIBRATION
(1) Remove the gauge.
(2) Check for ignition voltage and ground to the
gauge. (3) With the ignition key in the OFF position, re-
place gauge. Turn the ignition key to the ON posi-
tion. To test oil pressure gauge engine must be
running. When testing oil or temperature gauge the
engine should be at normal operating temperature.
Record the gauge position. (4) Remove gauge and record the resistance be-
tween the sending unit pin and the gauge ground
pin. When checking gauges, it is important to have
the same engine temperature and speed when noting
gauge position. The time between gauge reading and
measuring should be kept to a minimum. (5) The Gauge Resistance Chart (Fig. 24), is gen-
eral guidelines for checking the gauge position
against the sending unit resistance. Because of only a few specific points of gauge posi-
tion versus sending unit resistance, a good estimate
is need when the resistance falls between gradua-
tions. Even when the resistance corresponds to grad-
uations, the gauge has a tolerance of 64 ohms.
Volt gauge: The calibration dot on the volt gauge
corresponds to 13 volts between the gauge ignition
and ground pins. If voltage varies from this, estimate
proper gauge position with input voltage.

speedometer but it eliminates the cable-driven me-
chanical system. A signal is sent from a transmis-
sion-mounted vehicle speed sensor to the
speedometer circuitry through the wiring harness.
By eliminating the speedometer cable, instrument
cluster service and removal is improved. Refer to Fig.
27 Speedometer Diagnosis Chart. When the speedometer is out of calibration. The
electronic automatic transaxle vehicle speed sensor

GENERAL INFORMATION
MECHANICAL CLUSTER
The mechanical cluster includes a fuel, oil pres-
sure, coolant temperature, and voltmeter gauges. All
incorporate magnetic type gauges. When the ignition
switch is in the OFF position, the gauges will show a
reading; however, the readings are only accurate
when the ignition switch is in the ON position. The mechanical cluster also includes an electric
speedometer, driven by pulses from the vehicle speed
sensor (Fig. 1).
ELECTRONIC CLUSTER
The electronic cluster is easily distinguished from
the mechanical cluster by its digital and linear dis-
play. The electronic cluster includes:
² Oil pressure gauge
² Coolant temperature gauge
² Voltmeter
² Fuel gauge
The electronic cluster receives virtually all of its
information to display from the body controller and
powertrain control module via the Chrysler Collision
Detection (CCD) Serial Data Bus. The odometer
memory is no longer retained in the cluster. This is
now retained in the body controller (Fig. 2).
ELECTRONIC CLUSTER DIMMING
The electronic cluster display is dimmed from day-
time to night time intensity when the headlamp
switch is turned on. This intensity can be controlled
using the headlamp switch rheostat. An additional detent on the headlamp switch rheo-
stat will allow daytime intensity while driving with
headlamps on during the daytime.
WARNING LAMPS
The mechanical instrument cluster will have warn-
ing lamps for six systems. These include brake sys-
tem, air bag, seat belt, low fuel, anti-lock for optional
anti-lock brake system, and malfunction indicator
(check engine) lamp. The cluster also includes check
gages indicator which will illuminate in a warning
situation. This will notify driver to check for a prob-
lem in coolant temperature, oil pressure, or electrical
systems. The electronic cluster will have warning indicator
lamps for eight different systems. These include:
² Air Bag
² Low washer fluid
² Door/deck lid ajar
² Malfunction Indicator (Check engine) Lamp
² Brake system
² Seat belt
² Anti-lock (ABS) for optional anti-lock brake sys-
tem
² Check gages, monitors engine coolant, oil pressure
and electrical charging system failures. In addition, ISO symbol will flash to notify the
driver in event of:
² Low fuel
² High temperature
² Low oil pressure
² Charging system failure

MESSAGE CENTER
The message center is a car graphic warning lamp
module. This conventional warning system and lo-
cated above the headlamp switch.
ELECTRONIC DIGITAL CLOCK
The electronic digital clock is in the radio. The
clock and radio each use the display panel built into
the radio. A digital readout indicates the time in
hours and minutes whenever the ignition switch is in
the ON or ACC position. When the ignition switch is in the OFF position, or
when the radio frequency is being displayed, time
keeping is accurately maintained. The procedure for setting the clock varies slightly
with each radio. The correct procedure is described
under the individual radio operating instructions re-
ferred to in the Owner's Manual supplied with the
vehicle.
AIR BAG WARNING SYSTEM
For testing of this system refer to Group 8M, Re-
straint Systems.
MECHANICAL CLUSTER AND GAUGE SERVICE
CAUTION: Disconnect negative battery cable, in en-
gine compartment, before servicing instrument
panel. When power is required for test purposes,
reconnect battery cable for the test only.
Disconnect negative battery cable after test and be-
fore continuing service procedures.
SENDING UNIT TEST
When a problem occurs with a cluster gauge, be-
fore disassembling the cluster to check the gauge,
check for a defective sending unit or wiring. (1) Sending units and wiring can be checked by
grounding the connector leads, at the sending unit,
in the vehicle. (2) With the ignition in the ON position; a
grounded input will cause the oil, fuel or tempera-
ture gauge to read at or above maximum.
CHECK GAUGES WARNING LAMP TESTS
The check gauges warning lamp is illuminated by
the low oil pressure sending unit switch or the body
controller when there is high temperature or charg-
ing system failure. To test the lamp, turn ignition key to the ON po-
sition without starting the vehicle. The low oil pres-
sure switch is grounded and the light will be on
indefinitely. If the lamp fails to light, pull the cluster and check
the following: (a) Continuity between ground and check gauge
pin J (Fig. 3). (b) Proper contact between the gauge pins and
wiring harness and printed circuit board pins. (c) If there is ground and proper pin contact, re-
place lamp. (d) If there is no continuity, check the low oil
pressure sending unit switch (Fig. 4 and 5).
To test the switch disconnect the switch electrical
connector. Attach positive lead of an ohmmeter to
the switch terminal for the gray (GY) wire and the
negative lead to an engine ground. With the engine

off, there should be continuity in the system. Start
the engine. With the engine running, the ohmmeter
should show no continuity. If the above results are
not obtained, replace the switch.
BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LAMP
The brake warning lamp illuminates when parking
brake is applied with ignition key turned ON. The
same lamp will also illuminate should one of the two
service brake systems fail when brake pedal is ap-
plied. To test system turn ignition key ON, and ap-
ply parking brake. If lamp fails to light, inspect for a
burned out lamp, disconnected socket, a broken or
disconnected wire at switch. The lamp also lights
when the ignition switch is turned to START. To test service brake warning system, raise vehicle
on a hoist and open a wheel cylinder bleeder while a
helper depresses brake pedal and observes warning
light. If lamp fails to light, inspect for a burned out
lamp, disconnected socket, a broken or disconnected
wire at switch. If lamp is not burned out and wire continuity is
proven, replace brake warning switch in brake line
Tee fitting mounted on frame rail in engine compart-
ment below master cylinder (Fig.6 and 7). CAUTION: If wheel cylinder bleeder was opened
check master cylinder fluid level.

(b) Refer to sending unit removal Group 14, Fuel.
(c) Connect sending unit wire and jumper wire
as described in the test procedure.
(5) If fuel gauge now checks within specifications,
original sending unit is electrically okay, check fol-
lowing as a possible cause: (a) Ground wire from sending unit to left side
cowl for continuity. (b) Sending unit deformed. Make sure sending
unit float arm moves freely and pick up tube is not
bent upwards creating an interference with bottom
of tank and inspect float. (c) Sending unit improperly installed. Install
properly. (d) Mounting flange on fuel tank for sending
unit deformed. Feel for interference fit of sending
unit to bottom of tank. It is permissible to bend
pick up tube down a little near mounting flange to
gain interference fit. (e) Fuel tank bottom deformed, causing improper
positioning of sending unit pick up tube. Replace or
repair tank and recheck sending unit.
GAUGE CALIBRATION
(1) Remove the gauge.
(2) Check for ignition voltage and ground to the
gauge. (3) With the ignition key in the OFF position, re-
place gauge. Turn the ignition key to the ON posi-
tion. To test oil pressure gauge engine must be
running. When testing oil or temperature gauge the
engine should be at normal operating temperature.
Record the gauge position. (4) Remove gauge and record the resistance be-
tween the sending unit pin and the gauge ground
pin. When checking gauges, it is important to have
the same engine temperature and speed when noting
gauge position. The time between gauge reading and
measuring should be kept to a minimum. (5) The resistance Chart (Fig. 21), is general
guidelines for checking the gauge position against
the sending unit resistance. Because of only a few specific points of gauge posi-
tion versus sending unit resistance, a good estimate
is need when the resistance falls between gradua-
tions. Even when the resistance corresponds to grad-
uations, the gauge has a tolerance of 64 ohms.

driven speedometer and odometer assemblies. The unit
has the same appearance as a conventional speedometer
but it eliminates the cable-driven mechanical system. A
signal is sent from a transmission-mounted vehicle
speed sensor to the speedometer circuitry through the
wiring harness. By eliminating the speedometer cable,
instrument cluster service and removal is improved. Re-
fer to Fig. 23 Speedometer Diagnosis Chart. When the speedometer is out of calibration. The elec-
tronic automatic transaxle vehicle speed sensor output
must be calibrated to reflect the different combinations
of equipment. The procedure is called Pinion Factor, re-
fer to Group 21, Transaxle for the procedure.

The electronic clusters have an internal diagnostics
routing to isolate problems within the cluster or CCD
Bus. Using the cluster Self-Diagnostic Test will deter-
mine whether the problem is within the cluster or
outside of cluster (Fig. 29 and 30). Successful completion of the Self Diagnostic Test
indicates that the problem is in the CCD Bus, inter-
facing modules, connectors, or sensors outside of the
cluster. Refer to Fig. 31 for terminal listing.
