With the ignition switch in the ON or START posi-
tion, voltage supplied to the instrument cluster is lim-
ited by fuse #17. The voltage is supplied to all the
gauges and indicator lamps through the instrument
cluster printed circuit.
With the ignition switch in the OFF position, volt-
age is not supplied to the instrument cluster and the
gauges do not indicate any vehicle condition.
VOLTMETER
The voltmeter measures battery or generator out-
put voltage, whichever is greater.
OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
The oil pressure gauge pointer position is controlled
by a magnetic field created by electrical current flow
through the coils within the gauge. A change in current
flow will change the magnetic field which changes the
pointer position. The oil pressure sender is a variable
resistor that changes electrical resistance with a change
in oil pressure (values shown in Specifications chart).
OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR LAMP
Voltage is supplied to one side of the indicator bulb
and the oil pressure switch is connected to the other
side. When oil pressure is too low the switch closes
providing a path to ground, and the indicator bulb
lights.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The coolant temperature gauge pointer position is
controlled by a magnetic field created by electrical
current flow through the coils within the gauge. A
change in current flow will change the magnetic field
which changes the pointer position. The coolant tem-
perature sensor is a thermistor that changes electri-
cal resistance with a change in coolant temperature
(values shown in Specifications chart).
COOLANT TEMPERATURE INDICATOR LAMP
Voltage is supplied to one side of the indicator bulb
and the coolant temperature switch is connected to the
JINSTRUMENT PANEL AND GAUGES 8E - 1

other side. When coolant temperature is too high the
switch closes providing a path to ground, and the indi-
cator bulb lights.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer displays the engine speed (RPM).
With the engine running, the tachometer receives an
engine speed signal from the Powertrain Control
Module pin 43 (values shown in Specifications chart).
SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER SYSTEM
The speedometer/odometer system consists of an elec-
tric speedometer and pushbutton reset odometer
mounted in the cluster. The system also includes the
wire harness from the cluster to the vehicle speed sen-
sor at the transmission, and the adapter and pinion in
the transmission. A signal is sent from a transmission
mounted vehicle speed sensor to the speedometer/odom-
eter circuitry through the wiring harness. Refer to
Group 21 - Transmission for selecting the proper pinion,
and selecting and indexing the proper adapter.
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge pointer position is controlled by a
magnetic field created by electrical current flow through
the coils within the gauge. A change in current flow will
change the magnetic field which changes the pointer po-
sition. The fuel level sender is a variable resistor that
changes electrical resistance with a change of the level
of fuel in the tank (values shown in Specifications
chart).
LOW FUEL WARNING LAMP
The low fuel warning lamp will light when the fuel
level falls below approximately 4 gallons. A low fuel
warning module controls when the lamp will light.
When the module senses 66.5 ohms or less from the
fuel level sender for 10 continuous seconds, the lamp
will light. The lamp will remain on until the module
senses 63.5 ohms or more from the fuel level sender
for 20 continuous seconds.
UPSHIFT INDICATOR LAMP
Vehicles equipped with manual transmissions have an
optional upshift indicator lamp. The lamp is controlled
by the Powertrain Control Module. The lamp lights to
indicate when the driver should shift to the next high-
est gear for best fuel economy. The Powertrain Control
Module 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 is turned off
when the engine is started. The lamp will be lighted
during engine operation according to engine speed
and load.
BRAKE INDICATOR LAMP
The brake indicator lamp warns the driver that the
parking brake is applied or that hydraulic pressure in
the split brake system is unequal.
Voltage is supplied through the brake indicator
bulb to 3 switches. A path to ground for the current
is available if:
²The brake warning switch is closed (with unequal
brake system hydraulic pressures), or
²
The ignition switch is in the START position (to test
the bulb), or
²The park brake switch is closed (with the parking
brake applied).
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) INDICATOR
LAMP
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) lamp lights to in-
dicate a system self-check is in process at vehicle
start-up. If light remains on after start-up or comes
on and stays on while driving, it may indicate that
the ABS system has detected a malfunction or has
become inoperative.
4WD INDICATOR LAMP
COMMAND-TRAC 4WD
The PART TIME lamp lights when the vehicle is en-
gaged in four-wheel drive mode. Voltage is supplied to
one side of the indicator bulb. A switch in the transfer
case area is connected to the other side of the indicator
bulb. When the switch is closed, a path to ground is pro-
vided and the indicator bulb lights.
SELECT-TRAC 4WD
The four-wheel drive icon or FULL TIME lamp
lights when the vehicle is engaged in full time four-
wheel drive mode. The PART TIME lamp lights when
the vehicle is in part time four-wheel drive mode.
Voltage is supplied to one side of the indicators.
Switches in the transfer case area are connected to
the other side of the indicator bulbs. When a switch
is closed, a path to ground is provided and the indi-
cator bulb lights.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (CHECK ENGINE)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (Check Engine)
lights 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 trouble
code is declared the PCM will go into a limp-in mode
in an attempt to keep the system operating. It sig-
nals 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 trouble codes stored in the PCM memory to be
displayed in a series of flashes representing digits.

Pulling the headlamp switch to ON energizes the
radio illumination relay. This closes the normally
open contacts of the relay, and the brightness for the
radio display is controlled by the headlamp switch
rheostat. The back-lighting for the radio is also con-
trolled by the headlamp rheostat through radio con-
nector terminal 10.

8E - 4 XJ INSTRUMENT PANEL AND GAUGESJ

GAUGE PACKAGE GENERAL INFORMATION
The gauge package contains 4 gauges and the 4
wheel drive indicator. The gauges have a common
battery feed from fuse #9 and ignition switch. Al-
though they have separate power sources, the 4
gauges share a common ground connection.
The voltmeter indicates electrical system voltage.
When the engine is not running, the voltage regis-
tered is from the battery. After the engine is started,
charging system voltage is indicated. In the gauge
package, the voltmeter forms a parallel connectionacross the battery feed and ground.
The remaining gauges - oil pressure, fuel and cool-
ant temperature - are connected to individual sender
units. Variable resistors in the senders will change
the amount of current allowed to flow through the
gauge coils. As current flow through the coils varies,
the position of the indicator needle also will vary.
The 4 gauges are connected to battery feed, ground
and the sender units through a printed circuit
mounted on the back of the gauge housing.
