RED BRAKE WARNING LAMP
The red BRAKE warning lamp is located in the
instrument panel cluster and illuminates when a low
brake fluid condition occurs or when the parking
brake lever is applied with the ignition key in the
ON position. In addition, the red BRAKE warning
lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is moved
from the OFF to the ON or CRANK position. This is
done to check the bulb's operation.
Problems with this system will generally be of the
type where the warning lamp fails to turn on when it
should, or remains on when it should not.
The red BRAKE warning lamp LED is supplied
with current anytime the ignition switch is ON. The
bulb is illuminated by completing the ground circuit
using any of the following components:
²the brake fluid level switch located in the mas-
ter cylinder reservoir
²the parking brake switch mounted on the park-
ing brake lever (Fig. 10)
²the ignition switch when the ignition switch is
first moved to the ON or CRANK position
²the mechanical instrument cluster (MIC) (with
ABS)
²the ABS electronic brake distribution (EBD)
The brake fluid level switch is located in the brake
fluid reservoir of the master cylinder assembly (Fig.
1). The purpose of the switch is to provide the driver
with an early warning that the brake fluid level inthe master cylinder reservoir has dropped below an
acceptable level.
As the fluid drops below the minimum level, the
fluid level switch closes and grounds the red BRAKE
warning lamp circuit. This turns on the red BRAKE
warning lamp. At this time, the master cylinder fluid
reservoir must be checked and filled to the full mark
with DOT 3 brake fluid. An abnormal loss of brake
fluid in the master cylinder fluid reservoir could be
caused by a leak in the hydraulic system. The entire
brake hydraulic system should be checked for evi-
dence of a leak.
The red BRAKE warning lamp can be turned on by
the MIC in the case where the ABS is experiencing a
problem where the amber ABS warning lamp needs
to be illuminated and cannot. The MIC will then illu-
minate the red BRAKE warning lamp.
BRAKE LAMP SWITCH
The brake lamp switch is located under the instru-
ment panel, at the brake pedal arm (Fig. 13). It con-
trols operation of the vehicle's stop lamps. Also, if the
vehicle is equipped with speed control, the brake
lamp switch will deactivate the speed control when
the brake pedal is depressed.
When the brake pedal is depressed, the brake lamp
switch contacts are closed, completing the circuit to
the stop lamps, thus illuminating the stop lamps and
the center-high-mounted stop lamp (CHMSL).

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
HEADLAMP SWITCH
The headlamp switch is part of the Multi-Function
Switch. Refer to Group 8J, Turn Signal and Flasher
for the Multi-Function Switch Test, Removal and
Installation procedures.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
There are two conventional instrument cluster
assemblies available. The clusters electronically drive
the speedometer, odometer, gauges, and tachometer
(if equipped). Refer to (Fig. 2) and (Fig. 3).
The instrument cluster controls the courtesy
lamps, it receives and sends messages to other mod-
ules via the PCI bus circuit, it controls all the instru-
ment illumination and the chime is also an integral
part of the cluster. The front turn signals are wired
through the cluster and then go to the front lamps.
The reason being that the DRL module is built into
the cluster (if equipped).
All gauges in the electronic clusters are the analog
type gauges. When the ignition switch is moved to
the OFF position, the cluster drives each gauge to its
lowest position. The individual gauges are not servi-
cable and require complete replacement of the cluster
if one or more gauges are inoperable.
One button is used to switch the display from trip
to total mileage. Holding the button when the display
is in the trip mode will reset the trip mileage. This
button is also used to put the cluster in self-diagnos-
tic mode. Refer to Service Procedures, Cluster Self-
Diagnostics in this section. Most of the indicators will
come on briefly for a bulb heck when the ignition is
turned from OFF to ON. All of the LED's are replace-
able.
In the event that the instrument cluster looses
communication with all other modules on the PCI
bus, the cluster will display ªnobusº in the VF dis-
play. The VF display also displays ªDoorº, ªCruiseº,
ªTracº, and odometer trip or total.
If the cluster does not detect voltage on the cour-
tesy lamp circuit, the message ªFUSEº will alternate
with the odometer/trip odometer for 30 seconds after
the ignition is turned on and for 15 seconds after the
vehicle is first moved. The lack of voltage can be due
to the M1 Fused B(+) (IOD) fuse being open, a bad or
missing courtesy lamp bulb, or a circuit problem.
WARNING AND INDICATOR LAMPS
The instrument cluster has warning lamps and
indicators for the following systems:
²Airbag
²Anti-lock Brakes (ABS) if equipped
²Brake warning
²Charging System²Front fog lamps (if equipped)
²High beam indicator
²Low fuel (premium cluster only)
²Low oil pressure
²Malfunction indicator (service engine soon) lamp
²Right and left turn signals
²Seat belt warning
²Security system
²Trac-Off (ABS equipped vehicles only)
The instrument cluster has a Vacuum Fluorescent
(VF) display for the following systems:
²Cruise
²Door (ajar)
²Odometer
²Set (cruise)
²Trac
²Trip
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
AIRBAG WARNING SYSTEM
For testing of this system refer to Group 8M, Pas-
sive Restraint Systems.
BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LAMP TEST
The brake warning lamp illuminates when the
parking brake is applied with ignition switch turned
to the ON position. The same lamp will also illumi-
nate if one of the two service brake systems fail the
when brake pedal is applied.
To test the system:
²As the ignition switch is turned to the start posi-
tion the lamp should light.
²Turn ignition switch to the ON position and
apply the parking brake. The lamp should light.
If lamp fails to light inspect for:
²A burned out lamp
²Loose, corroded or damaged socket
²A damaged circuit board
²A broken or disconnected wire at the switch
²Defective switch
To test the service brake warning system, refer to
Group 5, Brakes, Hydraulic System Control Valves.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LAMPS
Every time the vehicle is switched to the START/
RUN position, the cluster goes through a BULB
CHECK. This tests most of the indicator lamps and
Vacuum Fluorescent (VF) displays. If only one lamp
is out, remove the instrument cluster and replace the
defective bulb or Light Emitting Diode (LED). If
some or all of the lamps fail to light, refer to the
proper Body Diagnostics Procedures Manual.

To diagnose the cluster lamps first place the clus-
ter in self-diagnostic mode. With the ignition switch
in the off position, press the trip odometer reset but-
ton down. Simultaneously turn the ignition key to
the ON position and release the trip reset button. All
the indicator lamps and VF displays should illumi-
nate except for the fog lamp, turn signal, and high
beam select indicators. Refer to (Fig. 2), (Fig. 3), and

LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LAMP TEST
The low oil pressure warning lamp will illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position
without engine running. The lamp also illuminates if
the engine oil pressure drops below a safe oil pres-
sure level.To test the system, turn the ignition switch to the
ON position. If the lamp fails to light, inspect for a
broken or disconnected wire at the oil pressure
switch, located at the front of the engine (Fig. 4). If
the wire at the connector checks good, pull the con-
nector loose from the switch and with a jumper wire,
ground the connector to the engine. With the ignition
switch turned to the ON position, check the warning
lamp. If the lamp still fails to light, inspect for a
burned out lamp or disconnected socket in the clus-
ter.

The integrated switch assembly is mounted to the
left hand side of the steering column. When the
driver wishes to signal his intentions to change direc-
tion of travel, he moves the lever upward to cause
the right signals to flash and downward to cause the
left signals to flash. After completion of a turn the
system is deactivated automatically. As the steering
wheel returns to the straight ahead position, a can-
celing cam molded to the clockspring mechanism
comes in contact with the cancel actuator on the turn
signal multi-function switch assembly. The cam lobe,
pushing on the cancel actuator, returns the switch to
the off position.
If only momentary signaling such as indication of a
lane change is desired, the switch is actuated to a
left or right intermediate detent position. In this
position the signal lamps flash as described above,
but the switch returns to the OFF position as soon as
the lever is released.
When the system is activated, one of two indicator
lamps mounted in the instrument cluster flashes in
unison with the turn signal lamps, indicating to the
driver that the system is operating.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
HAZARD WARNING SYSTEM
The hazard warning system is actuated by a push
button located in the muti-function switch (Fig. 1) on
the top of the steering column between the steering
wheel and the instrument panel. The hazard switch
is identified with a double triangle on front of the
button.
HEADLAMP SWITCH
The headlamp switch is part of the Multi-Function
Switch (Fig. 1). Refer to Multi-Function Switch Diag-
nosis and Testing, Turn Signal and Hazard Warning
Flasher Diagnosis table in this section.
COMBINATION FLASHER
The turn signal flasher and the hazard warning
flasher are combined into one unit called a combina-
tion flasher (combo-flasher). The combo- flasher con-
trols the flashing of the hazard warning system and
the turn signal system. An inoperative bulb or incom-
plete turn signal circuit will cause the flasher rate to
double.
The combo-flasher is located on the back of the
multi-function switch (Fig. 2). The combo-flasher is
black in color and has a dampener material wrapped
on it.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
When a vehicle experiences problems with the
headlamp system, verify the condition of the battery
connections, fuses, charging system, headlamp bulbs,
wire connectors, relay, high beam switch, dimmer
switch, and headlamp switch. Refer to Group 8W,
Wiring Diagrams for component locations and circuit
information.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: EYE PROTECTION SHOULD BE USED
WHEN SERVICING GLASS COMPONENTS. PER-
SONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
CAUTION: Do not touch the glass of halogen bulbs
with fingers or other possibly oily surface, reduced
bulb life will result.
Do not use bulbs with higher candle power than
indicated in the Bulb Application table at the end of
this group. Damage to lamp and/or Daytime Run-
ning Lamp Module can result.
Do not use fuses, circuit breakers or relays hav-
ing greater amperage value than indicated on the
fuse panel or in the Owners Manual.When it is necessary to remove components to ser-
vice another, it should not be necessary to apply
excessive force or bend a component to remove it.
Before damaging a trim component, verify hidden
fasteners or captured edges are not holding the com-
ponent in place.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP MODULE
PL vehicles built for use in Canada are equipped
with a Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) system. Turn
signal lamp circuitry always comes from the multi-
function switch, and goes to the cluster connector,
into the cluster, then back out to the front turn sig-
nal switch lamps. The Canadian cluster provides
steady illumination of the front turn signal when the
ignition switch is in the ON position. The DRL func-
tion may be inhibited by activating the turn signals,
the hazard flashers, the headlamp switch, or park
brake.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
HEADLAMP DIAGNOSIS
Always begin any diagnosis by testing all of the
fuses and circuit breakers in the system. Refer to
Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams.
Conventional and halogen headlamps are inter-
changeable. It is recommended that they not be
intermixed on a given vehicle.
