INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GENERAL INFORMATION
SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER SYSTEM
The speedometer/odometer system consists of an
electric speedometer and pushbutton reset odometer
mounted in the cluster. The system also includes the
wire harness from the cluster to the vehicle speed
sensor at the transmission, and the adapter and pin-
ion in the transmission. A signal is sent from a
transmission mounted vehicle speed sensor to the
speedometer/odometer circuitry through the wiring
harness. Refer to Group 21 - Transmission for select-
ing the proper pinion, and selecting and indexing the
proper adapter.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer displays the engine speed (RPM).
With the engine running, the tachometer receives anengine speed signal from the Powertrain Control
Module pin 43 (values shown in Specifications chart).
INDICATOR LAMPS
The Brake, Upshift (2.5L with 5 speed transmis-
sion except California), and Malfunction Indicator
(Check Engine) lamps are located in the indicator
lamp panel above the steering column. The lamps
share a common battery feed connection through the
ignition switch and fuse #9.
The turn signals, high beam indicator, seat belt re-
minder, hazard lamp, master lighting and illumina-
tion bulbs are supplied battery voltage through
various switches and share a common ground.

8E - 14 YJ INSTRUMENT PANEL AND GAUGESJ

DIAGNOSINGÐALL LAMPS OUT
(1) Inspect fuse #9. Replace as required.
(2) Measure voltage at instrument cluster connec-
tor terminal 20. Meter should read zero ohms. If not,
repair open to ground.
UPSHIFT INDICATOR LAMP
Vehicles equipped with manual transmissions have
an optional upshift indicator lamp. The lamp is con-
trolled by the PCM. The lamp lights to indicate when
the driver should shift to the next highest gear for best
fuel economy. The PCM will turn the lamp off after 3 to
5 seconds if the upshift is not performed. The lamp will
remain off until the vehicle stops accelerating and is
brought back to the range of lamp operation or shifted
into another gear.
The indicator lamp is normally illuminated when
the ignition switch is turned ON and it is turned off
when the engine is started. The lamp will be lighted
during engine operation according to engine speed
and load.
(1) Turn ignition switch to ON.
(2) Ground pin 2 of cluster connector. Lamp should
light. If not, replace bulb. If OK, continue with step 3.
(3) Turn ignition switch to OFF. Check for conti-
nuity between cluster connector pin 2 and pin 54 of
the PCM. If not, repair open. If OK, refer to DRB
scan tool actuator test of upshift indicator.
BRAKE INDICATOR LAMP
The brake indicator is a dual function lamp. It will in-
dicate an unequal pressure condition in the split brake
hydraulic system and it also will indicate when the park-
ing brake is engaged. Separate switches are used for each
indicator lamp function. A switch mounted on the brake
pedal assembly will close a ground circuit whenever the
parking brakes are applied. A second switch is installed
in the brake hydraulic lines near the master cylinder. If
the switch is balanced by equal pressure on both ends of
the switch valve, the valve remains centered and the
lamp remains off. If the valve is shifted by unequal pres-
sure between the front or rear brake hydraulic systems,
the lamp circuit is connected to ground. To make sure
the brake lamp is functional before the vehicle is driven,
it is illuminated through a ground circuit when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the START position.
(1) Turn ignition switch to ON.
(2) Ground pin 1 of the cluster connector. Lamp
should light. If not, replace bulb. If OK, continue
with step 3.
(3) Turn ignition switch to OFF. Check for continuity to
park brake switch and brake warning switch.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (CHECK ENGINE)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (Check Engine) il-
luminates each time the ignition switch is turned
ON and stays on for 3 seconds as a bulb test.If the PCM receives an incorrect signal or no signal
from certain sensors or emission related systems the
lamp is turned on (pin 32 of PCM). This is a warning
that the PCM has recorded a system or sensor mal-
function. In some cases when a diagnostic fault is de-
clared the PCM will go into a limp-in mode in an
attempt to keep the system operating. It signals an
immediate need for service.
The lamp also can be used to display diagnostic
trouble codes (DTC). Cycle the ignition switch ON,
OFF, ON, OFF, ON within 5 seconds. This will allow
any DTC's stored in the PCM memory to be dis-
played in a series of flashes representing digits.
(1) Turn ignition switch to ON.
(2) Ground pin 4 of cluster connector. Lamp should
light. If not, replace bulb. If OK, continue with step 3.
(3) Turn ignition switch to OFF. Check for conti-
nuity between cluster connector pin 4 and PCM cav-
ity 32. If OK, replace PCM. If not, repair open.
SEAT BELT REMINDER LAMP
Apply 12 volts to terminal 16 of cluster connector.
Lamp should light. If not, replace bulb. If OK, check
wiring for an open to buzzer module. Refer to Group
8U - Chime/Buzzer Warning Systems.
INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATION LAMPS
The instrument panel illumination lamps share
two common connections. There is a splice after fuse
#10 that connects the lamps to battery feed. There is
also a splice that connects all lamps to ground. Be-
cause they share these common connection points in
a parallel circuit, the illumination lamps will all
come on at the same time. It also means one or more
lamps can be out without affecting the operation of
the other lamps.
On the battery side of the circuit, the headlamp
switch illumination rheostat/switch and panel lamps
fuse receive battery feed in series from the park/tail
fuse. In the park lamp position, the headlamp switch
completes the circuit from the park/tail fuse to the il-
lumination rheostat/switch and panel lamps fuse.
The illumination rheostat contains a variable resis-
tor that allows the driver to vary illumination inten-
sity from off to full brightness.
DIAGNOSIS
(1) Turn parking lamps ON.
(2) Check fuse #10. Replace as required.
(3) Measure voltage at battery side of fuse #10
with rheostat turned counterclockwise to clockwise
(LO to HI). Meter should read zero volts to battery
voltage. If not, replace headlamp switch.
(4) Measure resistance at ground side of fuse #10
with parking lamps OFF. Meter should read almost
zero ohms (except bulb filament). If not, repair open
to ground. If zero ohms, 12 volt supply wire from fuse
is shorted to ground, repair short.

TO RESUME AFTER BRAKING:After disen-
gaging the speed control system by tapping the brake
pedal or clutch pedal, push the RESUME/ACCEL
button to return vehicle to the previously set speed.
SET/COAST:Speed can be decreased by holding
SET button against stop until desired speed is at-
tained. Releasing the button engages the system at
that speed. A decrease in speed also can be attained
by tapping brake pedal lightly disengaging system.
When desired speed has been obtained push and re-
lease SET button.
TO ACCELERATE FOR PASSING:Depress ac-
celerator as needed. When passing is completed, re-lease accelerator and vehicle will return to previous
speed setting. There may be a slight (3-7 mph) speed
loss before the vehicle recovers to the set speed.
TAP-UP:When the speed control system is en-
gaged, tapping the RESUME/ACCEL button will in-
crease the speed setting by 2 mph (3 km/h). The
system will respond to multiple tap-ups.
TO ACCELERATE:While speed control is en-
gaged, hold the RESUME/ACCEL button depressed
and release at a new desired speed. This will allow
the vehicle to accelerate and set at a higher speed
setting.

ROAD TEST
Refer to Operational Check (Road Test) section to
verify reports of speed control system malfunction.
INOPERATIVE SYSTEM
Road test vehicle to verify reports of speed control
system malfunction. An inspection should be made
for loose electrical and vacuum connections at the
servo.
Check for correct installation of the vacuum check
valve in the hose from servo to vacuum source. The
word VAC on the valve must point toward the vac-
uum source.
Corrosion should be removed from electrical termi-
nals and a light coating of Mopar MultiPurpose
Grease, or equivalent, applied.
Inspection also should be made to verify that both
ends of the speed control cable are securely attached.
CHECKING FOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE
(1) When trying to verify a speed control system
electronic malfunction use a DRB scan tool to find
the cause (refer to Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures
manual).
If DRB is not available, the Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) may be determined with the following
method:
(a) With key inserted in ignition switch, cycle
switch to ON position 3 times. On third cycle, leave
switch in ON position.
(b) After switch has been cycled 3 times, observe
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (CHECK ENGINE)
on instrument cluster. If a DTC is present, the code
will be displayed in a series of flashes representing
digits. Three flashes in rapid succession, a slight
pause, then 4 flashes in rapid succession would in-
dicate DTC 34.
(2) If a DTC 34 is observed, perform tests in the
sections Electrical Tests at Servo and Electrical Tests
at Powertrain Control Module.
If a DTC 15 is observed, perform test for a faulty
vehicle speed sensor.
(3) Correct any problems found when performing
these tests and recheck for DTC if changes were
made.
VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR TEST
For testing of the vehicle speed sensor and related
components, refer to Powertrain Diagnostic Proce-
dures manual.
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM ELECTRICAL
TESTS
Vehicle speed control systems may be tested using
two different methods. One involves use of a DRB
scan tool. If this test method is desired, refer to Pow-
ertrain Diagnostic Procedures manual.
The other test method uses a voltmeter. The volt-
meter method is described in the following tests.
If any information is needed concerning wiring, re-
fer to Section 8W - Wiring Diagrams.
CAUTION: When test probing for voltage or conti-
nuity at electrical connectors, care must be taken
not to damage connector, terminals, or seals. If
these components are damaged, intermittent or
complete system failure may occur.
ELECTRICAL TESTS AT SERVO
(1) Turn ignition switch to the ON position. With
speed control switch in the ON position, setup a volt-
meter to read battery voltage and connect negative
lead to a good chassis ground.
(2) Disconnect 4-way connector going to servo
(Figs. 2 and 3). Blue wire with red tracer of main
harness 4-way connector should read approximately
battery voltage. If not, check for loose connections,
brake switch adjustment or, repair main harness as
necessary.
(3) Connect a jumper wire between male and fe-
male terminals of blue wire with red tracer. The
other 3 male terminals from servo should show bat-
tery voltage. If not, replace servo.
(4) Using an ohmmeter, connect one lead to a good
body ground. Touch other lead to black wire terminal
in 4-way connector of main harness. Meter should
show continuity. If not, repair ground circuit as nec-
essary.
JVEHICLE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM 8H - 5

perform the speed control switch test. If switch is not
at fault, then check main harness and repair as nec-
essary.
(8) Using an ohmmeter, connect one lead to a good
body ground and touch other lead to terminal in cav-
ity number 29. With brake pedal released, meter
should show continuity. When pedal is depressed,
meter should show open circuit.
SPEED CONTROL SWITCH (TURN SIGNAL LEVER)
TEST
STOP LAMP SPEED CONTROL SWITCH TEST
(1) Disconnect double connector at switch pigtail
and connect a 12 volt source to either terminal. Con-
nect a test lamp between other terminal and a good
ground. The test lamp should be on when brakepedal is in normal position. The test light should go
off when brake pedal is depressed approximately 3/8
of an inch.
(2) If test lamp does not respond properly, the stop
lamp switch is defective or out of adjustment.
(3) Stop lamp switch adjustment is detailed in
Group 5 - Brakes section of this manual.
VACUUM SUPPLY TEST
(1) Disconnect vacuum hose at servo or vacuum
reservoir and install a vacuum gauge in hose (Fig.
6).
(2) Start engine and observe gauge at idle. Vac-
uum gauge should read at least ten inches of mer-
cury.
(3) If vacuum does not meet this requirement,
check for vacuum leaks or poor engine performance.
OPERATIONAL CHECK (ROAD TEST)
The following sequential checks are performed with
the speed switch ON and vehicle speed faster than 35
mph:
(1) Press the SET button in end of multi-function
lever. Vehicle should maintain set speed.
(2) Hold SET button in, and remove foot from ac-
celerator. Vehicle should coast to a slower speed.
(3) Release SET button. Speed control will engage
and hold a slower speed, provided the speed remains
above 35 mph.

FRONT WIPERS/WASHERS
GENERAL
Two-speed electric windshield wipers and electric
washers are standard equipment. An optional inter-
mittent wiper system provides a pause between wipe
cycles for use during conditions of very light precipi-
tation.
The windshield wipers can be operated with the
windshield wiper switch only when the ignition
switch is in the ON or ACCESSORY position. A cir-
cuit breaker located in the fuse block protects the cir-
cuitry of the wiper system.
WIPERS
The standard windshield wiper circuit contains
three components; wiper/washer switch, motor, and
front washer pump. Both standard and intermittent
circuits are the same, except that the intermittent
circuit requires a module and delay resistance in the
wiper switch. Both circuits receive battery feed from,
and are protected by a 5.5 amp circuit breaker.
In the standard wiper circuit, the switch connects
the motor directly to battery feed for low and high
speed operation. In the intermittent circuit, the
switch supplies battery feed to the intermittent wiper
module, which then supplies the motor. In the delay
position, the module is connected with the variable
resistor in the wiper switch. The value of the resis-tance is used by the module to charge a capacitor,
which triggers the amount of delay between wipes.
The wiper motor has an arrangement of brushes
providing the two wiper speeds. When the wipers are
turned off, the park switch maintains current to the
motor until the wipers reach the park position on the
windshield.
The park arm in the motor assembly is connected
to the park switch and is driven by the motor. When
the wiper switch is turned off, current flows through
the contact and the module to the motor until the
wipers reach the park position.
CAUTION: The wiper arms and blades must not be
moved manually from side to side or damage may
result.
WASHERS
With the washer switch ON, current flows through
the washer pump to ground. The front washer pump
runs as long as the driver holds the switch ON. On
standard wipers, the washer switch automatically
moves the wiper switch to LO when the washer is
turned on. On intermittent wipers, the wiper module
runs the wiper motor on LO. Turning the switch to
OFF stops the wipers.
If the washer knob is depressed while the wiper
switch is in the OFF position, the wiper control will
operate for approximately 3 wipes and automatically
turn OFF.
