CHASSIS COMPONENT AND WHEEL BEARING
LUBRICANTS
The chassis component and wheel bearing lubri-
cants that are recommended for Jeeptvehicles are
identified by the NLGI Certification Symbol (Fig. 1).
The symbol contains a coded designation that identi-
fies the usage and quality of the lubricant.
The letterGdesignates wheel bearing lubricant.
LetterLdesignates chassis lubricant. When the let-
ters are combined the lubricant can be used for dual
applications. The suffix lettersCandBdesignate the
level of the lubricant for the application. The letterC
represents level available for wheel bearing lubricant
(G) and the letterBrepresents level available for
chassis lubricant (L).
STEERING LINKAGE AND BALL STUDS
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE
The general condition of the steering linkage (Fig.
2) should be inspected and the ball studs should be
lubricated:
²2WD vehicles Ð after each 24 000-km (15,000-
miles) or six-months interval of vehicle operation has
elapsed; or
²4WD vehicles Ð after each 12 000-km (7,500-
miles) or six-months interval of vehicle operation has
elapsed.
LUBRICANT SPECIFICATION
Steering linkage should be lubricated with a dual-
purpose, lithium-base lubricant that is identified as
NLGI GC-LB lubricant.
INSPECTION/LUBRICATION
(1) Inspect the steering linkage. Examine the tie
rods and the drag link for bending, and the ball
studs for looseness and excessive wear.
(2) Replace, as necessary, all torn/ruptured ball-
stud seals and damaged/defective steering linkage
components.
CAUTION: Use care to prevent lubricant from con-
tacting the brake rotors.
(3) Lubricate the ball studs:
²clean the tips of the Zerk type lubrication fittings
on the tie-rod and drag-link ball-stud ends to avoid
lubricant contamination;
²lubricate the ball studs with high quality, dual-
purpose, lithium base chassis/wheel bearing lubri-
cant (NLGI GC-LB lubricant);
²cease the lubricant pressure when lubricant begins
to freely exit the base of the seal, or if the seal be-
gins to expand; and
²wipe the excess lubricant from the exterior sur-
faces of the ball joints and the adjacent surfaces.

(4) Extra close attention should be given to exter-
nal key lock cylinders during the autumn and winter
months to ensure protection from water and ice.(5) Extra close attention should also be given to
the hood latch components to ensure proper function-
ing.
HEADLAMPS
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE
Approximately every six months the headlamps
should be displayed on a vertical test surface. This
will ensure that the headlamps are positioned for
safe night-time driving.
BEAM AIM ADJUSTMENT
(1) Changes in the vehicle front and rear suspen-
sion will alter the headlamp beam patterns and this
can cause unsafe night-time driving conditions.
(2) If a vehicle is loaded the headlamp beam pat-
terns should be displayed on an vertical test surface
and the headlamps re-aimed.
(3) Observe the headlamp beam patterns on an ap-
propriate vertical test surface and, if necessary, ad-
just the headlamp beam aim.
(4) If necessary, refer to Group 8LÐLamps for
headlamp aim adjustment procedures.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The ignition switch is mounted (under the instru-
ment panel) on the lower section of the steering col-
umn. The headlamp dimmer switch is mounted
beside the ignition switch (Fig. 1). Both of these
switches (ignition and dimmer) share the same
mounting screws.
The switch is connected to the ignition key lock as-
sembly by a remote actuator rod. This remote actua-
tor rod fits into an access hole on the bottom of the
ignition switch (Fig. 2).
IGNITION SWITCH REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the negative battery cable at the
battery.
(2) XJ models: Remove the lower instrument panel
trim assembly. YJ models: Remove the windshield
wiper intermittent control module and its bracket (if
equipped).
(3) Place the ignition key lock in ACCESSORY po-
sition.
(4) Remove the two headlamp dimmer switch at-
taching nuts. Lift the switch from steering column
while disengaging actuator rod.Before removing dimmer switch, tape the two
remote control actuator rods (ignition switch
and dimmer) to the steering column. This will
prevent accidental disengagement from the up-
per part of the steering column.
(5) Remove the ignition switch-to-steering column
attaching screws.
(6) Disengage the ignition switch from the remote
actuator rod by lifting straight up. Remove switch
from steering column.
(7) Remove wiring from switch as follows:
Two electrical connectors are used to connect all
wiring to the ignition switch. One of the connectors
is installed (interlocked) over the top of the other
connector. Remove wiring from switch by disconnect-
ing the (black) harness connector first and then the
other connector. Remove the switch from the vehicle.
IGNITION SWITCH TESTING
To test the ignition switch circuity and continuity,
proceed as follows. Place the slide bar (on the igni-
tion switch) (Fig. 2) into the detent position to be
tested. An ohmmeter or continuity light may be used
to check switch continuity. Refer to the Ignition

taching screws. Do not allow the ignition switch to
move from the ACCESSORY detent position.
Because the ignition switch and the headlamp dim-
mer switch share the same two mounting screws, one
of the screws must be removed from the ignition
switch. This must be doneafterthe ignition switch
has been adjusted andbeforethe dimmer switch has
been installed. Remove one screw.Do notremove
the stud/nut.
(7) Install the headlamp dimmer switch as follows:
Slip switch into actuator rod and position over the ig-
nition switch. Install screws finger tight. Remove the
dimmer switch actuator rod securing-tape from steer-
ing column.
(8) Adjust dimmer switch as follows: Depress the
switch slightly and insert a 3/32-inch drill bit into
the adjustment hole (Fig. 1). This is done to prevent
horizontal switch movement.
(9) Move switch toward steering wheel to remove
any lash from switch actuator rod. Tighten dimmer
and ignition switch fasteners to 4 Nzm (35 in. lbs.)
torque.
(10) XJ models: Install the lower instrument panel
trim assembly. YJ models: Install the windshield
wiper intermittent control module and its bracket (if
equipped).
(11) Install the negative battery cable.
Test dimmer switch. Test ignition switch operation
in all switch positions. If equipped with a tilt steer-
ing column, test operation of dimmer switch and ig-
nition switch in all tilt positions.

fer to Group 8U - Chime/Buzzer Warning Systems.
RADIO/CLOCK ILLUMINATION
With the ignition switch in ACCESSORY or ON,
power comes from the radio fuse. It then goes
through the normally closed contacts of the radio il-
lumination relay to the radio at connector terminal
11.
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.
Refer to Group 8F - Audio Systems, for radio illu-
mination relay diagnosis.
INSTRUMENT PANEL LAMPS
Voltage is supplied at all times from the 40 amp
Maxi fuse (located in the Power Distribution Center)
through the park lamps fuse to the headlamp switch.
The circuit continues through the instrument lamps
fuse to the individual instrument panel lamps to
ground. Lamp brightness is controlled by turning the
headlamp switch knob.
DIAGNOSIS
(1) Turn parking lamps ON.
(2) Check park lamps fuse. Replace as required.
(3) Check instrument lamps fuse. Replace as re-
quired.
(4) Measure voltage at battery side of instrument
lamps fuse with rheostat turned counterclockwise to
clockwise (LO to HI). Meter should read zero volts to
battery voltage. If not, replace headlamp switch.
(5) Measure resistance at ground side of instru-
ment lamps fuse 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.

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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION
Each radio receives ignition feed from an ignition
switch controlled fuse. There is an additional in-line
fuse in the back of the radio chassis. The in-line fuse
will blow in the event an internal short occurs.
The electronically tuned radio (ETR)/cassette
models protect the vehicle from a radio failure
with an in-line fuse located in the rear of the ra-
dio chassis (Fig. 1).
XJ/YJ vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off
Draw (IOD) fuse that is removed when the vehicles
are shipped from the factory. This fuse is in the
Power Distribution Center to prevent battery dis-
charge during storage. For specific location refer to
Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams.
The IOD fuse is in the radio memory circuitry and
should be checked if the memory (time or radio sta-
tion programming) is inoperative.
All radios are connected to the radio illumination
relay. When the ignition switch is in ON or ACCES-
SORY and the radio illumination relay remains de-
energized, the radio receives battery voltage via the
relay from the:
²(20 amp #7 fuse YJ)
²(15 amp #2 fuse XJ).
The radio illumination relay is energized when the
headlamp switch is used to turn on the parklamps or
headlamps. Battery voltage is switched to the dimdisplay input of the radio through the relay contacts.
The radio panel illumination is dimmed for night
driving.
The ETR models require an additional battery feed
connection to the (10 amp #F16 fuse-YJ), (10 amp
#9 fuse-XJ) to retain the radio's memory when the
ignition switch is turned OFF.
ETR models are self-compensating. A radio
trimmer adjustment is not required.
DIAGNOSIS
RADIO INOPERATIVE
Turn ignition switch to ON
²Inspect the (#7-YJ), (#2-XJ) fuse and replace if
necessary.
²Measure voltage at battery side of the fuse. There
should be 12 volts. If not, repair open from ignition
switch.
²Inspect in-line fuse at rear of radio and replace if
necessary.
Turn ignition switch to OFF.
²Disconnect radio connector. Measure resistance
from radio ground pin to a clean chassis ground.
There should be zero ohms. If not, repair open be-
tween radio connector and ground.
NO AUDIO OUTPUT ON ONE OR MORE
SPEAKERS
Refer to Radio Connector Pins.
FRONT SPEAKERS
²Radio OFF, radio connector disconnected. Measure
resistance between radio left front feed and return
connector pins. Measure between right front feed and
return connector pins. The meter should read 5 to 8
ohms. If the meter reading is correct, remove radio
for service. If not, repair wiring or replace speakers
as required.
