GENERAL INFORMATION
This Group is divided into three stand alone sec-
tions; XJ, YJ, and XJ Right Hand Drive (XJ-RHD).
Separate circuit descriptions and wiring diagrams are
provided for each vehicle. Each section contains a
Contents list for the wiring diagrams and circuit de-
scriptions for that vehicle.
The complete XJ circuit descriptions and diagrams
are printed first, followed by those for the YJ and
then the XJ-RHD. The heading at the top of each
page identifies the vehicle covered in the section.
NOTES, CAUTIONS, and WARNINGS
Throughout this group additional important infor-
mation is presented in three ways; Notes, Cautions,
and Warnings.
NOTESare used to help describe how switches or
components operate to complete a particular circuit.
They are also used to indicate different conditions
that may appear on the vehicle. For example, an
up-to and after condition.
CAUTIONSare used to indicate information that
could prevent making an error that may damage the
vehicle.
WARNINGSprovide information to prevent per-
sonal injury and vehicle damage. Below is a list of
general warnings that should be followed any time a
vehicle is being serviced.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES FOR EYE PRO-
TECTION.
USE SAFETY STANDS ANYTIME A PROCEDURE RE-
QUIRES BEING UNDER A VEHICLE.
BE SURE THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH ALWAYS IS
IN THE OFF POSITION, UNLESS THE PROCEDURE
REQUIRES IT TO BE ON.SET THE PARKING BRAKE WHEN WORKING ON
ANY VEHICLE. AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
SHOULD BE IN PARK. A MANUAL TRANSMISSION
SHOULD BE IN NEUTRAL.
OPERATE THE ENGINE ONLY IN A WELL-VENTI-
LATED AREA.
KEEP AWAY FROM MOVING PARTS WHEN THE EN-
GINE IS RUNNING, ESPECIALLY THE FAN AND BELTS.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS BURNS, AVOID CONTACT
WITH HOT PARTS SUCH AS THE RADIATOR, EX-
HAUST MANIFOLD(S), TAIL PIPE, CATALYTIC CON-
VERTER, AND MUFFLER.
DO NOT ALLOW FLAME OR SPARKS NEAR THE
BATTERY. GASES ARE ALWAYS PRESENT IN AND
AROUND THE BATTERY.
ALWAYS REMOVE RINGS, WATCHES, LOOSE
HANGING JEWELRY, AND LOOSE CLOTHING.
WIRE CODE IDENTIFICATION
Each wire shown in the diagrams contains a code
(Fig. 1) which identifies the main circuit, part of the
main circuit, gauge of wire, and color. The color is
shown as a two letter code which can be identified by
referring to the Wire Color Code Chart (Fig. 2).
CIRCUIT IDENTIFICATION
All circuits in the diagrams use an alpha/numeric
code to identify the wire and its function (Fig. 3). To
identify which circuit code applies to a system, refer
to the Circuit Identification Code Chart. This chart
shows the main circuits only and does not show the
secondary codes that may apply to some models.
JWIRING DIAGRAMSÐGENERAL INFORMATION 8W - 1

the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inad-
vertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume
that it is.
(1) Always touch a known good ground before han-
dling the part. This should be repeated while han-
dling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position,
or walking a distance.
(2) Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part,
unless instructed to do so by a written diagnostic
procedure.
(3) When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the
ground lead first.
(4) Do not remove the part from its protective pack-
ing until it is time to install the part.
(5) Before removing the part from its package,
ground the package to a known good ground on the
vehicle.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit
there are several common tools necessary. These tools
are listed and explained below.
²Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect
two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass an
open in a circuit.
WARNING: NEVER USE A JUMPER WIRE ACROSS A
LOAD, SUCH AS A MOTOR, CONNECTED BETWEEN
A BATTERY FEED AND GROUND.
²Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit.
Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the
circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used
in today's vehicle are solid state. When checking
voltages in these circuits use a meter with a 10-
megohm or greater impedance.
²Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between
two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in a
circuit means good continuity.CAUTION: - Most of the electrical components used
in today's vehicle are Solid State. When checking
resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10-
megohm or greater impedance. In addition, make
sure the power is disconnected from the circuit.
Circuits that are powered up by the vehicle electrical
system can cause damage to the equipment and
provide false readings.
²Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing
terminals in connectors (Fig. 7). Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert it into
the terminal being tested. Use the other end of the
tool to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by
faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also pos-
sible for a sticking component or relay to cause a
problem. Before condemning a component or wiring
assembly check the following items.
²Connectors are fully seated
²Spread terminals, or terminal push out
²Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated
into the connector/component and locked in position
²Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of
corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent problem
²Damaged connector/component casing exposing the
item to dirt and moisture
²Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a
short to ground
²Wiring broke inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING TESTS
Before beginning any tests on a vehicle's electrical
system, use the Wiring Diagrams and study the cir-
cuit. Also refer to the Troubleshooting Wiring Prob-
lems section in this section.
TESTING FOR VOLTAGE
(1) Connect the ground lead of a voltmeter to a
known good ground (Fig. 8).

HOW TO USE THIS GROUP
The purpose of this group is to show the electrical
circuits in a clear, simple fashion and to make trou-
bleshooting easier. Components that work together
are shown together. All electrical components used in
a specific system are shown on one diagram. The feed
for a system is shown at the top of the page. All
wires, connectors, splices, and components are shown
in the flow of current to the bottom of the page. Wir-
ing which is not part of the circuit represented is ref-
erenced to another page/section, where the complete
circuit is shown. In addition, all switches, compo-
nents, and modules are shown in theat rest posi-
tion with the doors closed and the key removed
from the ignition.
If a component is part of several different circuits,
it is shown in the diagram for each. For example, the
headlamp switch is the main part of the exterior
lighting, but it also affects the interior lighting and
the chime warning system.
It is important to realize that no attempt is
made on the diagrams to represent components
and wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For
example, a short piece of wire is treated the
same as a long one. In addition, switches and
other components are shown as simply as pos-
sible, with regard to function only.
The wiring diagram show circuits for all wheel-
bases. If there is a difference in systems or compo-
nents between wheel-bases, an identifier is placed
next to the component.
SECTION IDENTIFICATION
Sections in Group 8W are organized by sub-sys-
tems. The sections contain circuit operation descrip-
tions, helpful information, and system diagrams. The
intention is to organize information by system, con-
sistently from year to year.
CONNECTOR LOCATIONS
Section 8W-90 contains Connector Location illus-
trations. The illustrations contain the connector
number and component identification. Connector Lo-
cation charts in Section 8W-90 reference the illustra-
tion number for components and connectors.

nects to cavity 43 and circuit B517 connects to cavity
26.
ABS POWER RELAY
The ABS power relay is located in the power distri-
bution center (PDC). When the ABS module grounds
the ABS power relay on circuit B207, the relay
switches to connect circuit A20 from PDC fuse 10 to
circuit B235. Circuit B236 from fuse 7 in the fuse
block splices to feed the coil side of the ABS power
relay. Circuit B207 connects to cavity 34 of the ABS
control module.
Circuit B235 is double crimped at the ABS power
relay. One branch of circuit B235 supplies power to
the coil side of the ABS pump motor relay. The other
branch of circuit B235 splices to cavities 3 and 33 of
the ABS control module and to the hydraulic control
unit.
ABS PUMP MOTOR RELAY
The ABS pump motor relay in the power distribu-
tion center (PDC) supplies voltage to the ABS pump
motor. When the ABS power relay energizes, circuit
B235 supplies battery voltage to the coil side of the
J8W-32 ANTI-LOCK BRAKESÐXJ VEHICLES 8W - 32 - 1

ABS pump motor relay. The ABS control module pro-
vides ground for the relay on circuit B116. Circuit
B116 connects to cavity 15 of the ABS control mod-
ule.
When the ABS pump motor energizes, it connects
circuit A10 from PDC fuse 8 to circuit B233. Circuit
B233 supplies battery voltage to the pump motor.
Circuit Z12 provides ground for the pump motor.
PUMP MOTOR SPEED SENSOR
The input from the pump motor speed sensor tells
the ABS control module that the pump is operating.
Circuits B219 and B220 from the control module con-
nect to the speed sensor.
BRAKE SWITCH INPUT
Circuit L50 from the stop lamp provides the brake
switch input to the ABS control module. When the
brake pedal is depressed, the stop lamp switch closes
to supply battery voltage from circuit L9 to circuit
L50. Circuit L50 connects to cavity 32 of the ABS
control module. Circuit L9 originates at fuse 4 in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC).
HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT
When the ABS power relay energizes, two branches
of circuit B235 splice to supply voltage to the isola-
tion and dump solenoids in the hydraulic control
unit. The hydraulic control unit contains three sepa-
rate isolation solenoids and three separate dump so-
lenoids. The ABS control module activates the decay
and isolation solenoids by providing separate ground
paths for each.
The ABS module provides a ground path for the
rear isolation solenoid on circuit B251. Circuit B251
connects to cavity 54 of the ABS control module.
For the right front isolation solenoid, the ABS mod-
ule provides a ground path on circuit B249. Circuit

provides a ground path on circuit B248. Circuit B248
connects to cavity 21 of the ABS control module.
On circuit B243, the ABS module provides ground
for the left decay solenoid. Circuit B243 connects to
cavity 2 of the ABS control module.
ABS WARNING LAMP
Circuit F87 provides power for the ABS warning
lamp at the instrument cluster. Ground for the ABS
warning lamp is provided by either the ABS control
module or by the ABS power relay when the relay is
not energized. The ABS control module illuminates
the lamp by providing ground on circuit B205.
Circuit B205 splices to connect to circuit B235
through a diode. When the ABS power relay is not
energized, it connects circuit B235 to circuit Z12. The
ground path for the warning lamp is through the di-
ode to circuit B235, through the ABS power relay to
ground on circuit Z12.
The diode between circuit B205 and B235 prevents
voltage from flowing to the ABS control module when
the ABS power relay switches to supply power on cir-
cuit B235.
DATA LINK CONNECTOR
Circuit D1 from cavity 23 of the ABS control mod-
ule receives data from the DRB scan tool through the
data link connector. The ABS control module trans-
mits data to the scan tool through the connector on
circuit D2. Circuit D2 originates at cavity 42 of the
ABS control module.
Through the data link connector, circuit Z12 pro-
vides ground for the DRB scan tool.
Circuit A4 from fuse 10 in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) supplies power to fuse 5 in the PDC.
Fuse 5 powers circuit F39 which supplies battery
voltage to the scan tool through the diagnostic con-
nector.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
²Check fuses 10 and 5 in the PDC.
²If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic trans-
mission, circuits D1 and D2 are double crimped at
the data link connector and connect to the Power-
train Control Module (PCM).

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
The instrument cluster contains the gauges and
warning lamps. All gauges have magnetic move-
ments.
When the ignition switch is in the START or RUN
position, circuit A21 feeds circuit F87 through fuse 17
in the fuse block. Circuit A1 from fuse 6 in the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) supplies voltage to circuit
A21. Circuit A1 is HOT at all times.
Circuit F87 connects to the cluster connector to
power the gauges and to the telltale connector to
power the warning lamps.
Circuit E2 from fuse 19 in the fuse block feeds the
illumination lamps. Circuit E2 originates at the head-
lamp switch and continues through fuse 19. The
headlamp switch powers circuit E2 when the parking
lamps or headlamp are ON.
Circuit Z2 provides ground for the indicator lamps
and illumination lamps.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE
Circuit G20 connects the engine coolant tempera-
ture gauge to the engine coolant temperature sensor.
The sensor is a variable resistor and case grounded to
the engine. Circuit F87 connects to the instrument
cluster left connector and supplies voltage for the
gauge.
The gauge uses two coils. Current passing through
the coils creates a magnetic field. Position of the
gauge needle is controlled by the amount of current
passing through the coils to ground at the sensor.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE WARNING
LAMP
Circuit G20 connects the engine coolant tempera-
ture warning lamp to the engine coolant temperature
switch. When the switch closes, battery voltage from
circuit F87 flows through the lamp to ground through
the switch on circuit G20. The engine coolant tem-
perature switch is case grounded to the engine. Cir-cuit F87 connects to the instrument cluster connector
and supplies voltage for the lamp.
Circuit G20 also connects to the warning lamp to
ground when the ignition switch is in the START
position. When the ignition switch is in the START
position, the lamp illuminates for a bulb test.
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel level sensor is a variable resistor. Circuit
G4 connects the fuel level sensor to the fuel gauge in
the instrument cluster. Circuit F87 from fuse 17 in
the fuse block supplies voltage to the fuel gauge. The
fuel level sensor draws voltage from circuit F87
through the fuel gauge on circuit G4. Circuit G4
connects to circuit 57 in the fuel pump module har-
ness. Circuit 57 connects to the fuel level sensor.
Circuit 99 in the fuel pump module harness con-
nects to circuit Z1. Circuit Z1 provides the ground
path for the fuel level sensor. The grounding point for
circuit Z1 is the left side of the cowl panel.
As current flows through the coils in the fuel gauge,
it creates a magnetic field. One of the coils in the
gauge receives fixed current. The other coil is con-
nected to the level sensor. The magnetic field controls
the position of the fuel gauge pointer.
The fuel level sensor contains a variable resistor. As
the position of the float arm on the fuel level sensor
changes, the resistor changes the current flow
through second coil in the fuel gauge. A change in
current flow alters the magnetic field in the fuel
gauge, which changes the pointer position.
LOW FUEL WARNING LAMP
Circuit G4 connects the fuel level sensor to the fuel
gauge. The low fuel level module at the rear of the

OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
The case grounded oil pressure sensor is a variable
resistor that connects to circuit G6. Circuit G6 con-
nects to the oil pressure gauge.
Circuit F87 connects to the instrument cluster con-
nector and supplies battery voltage to oil pressure
gauge. The gauge uses two coils. Current passing
through the coils creates a magnetic field. Position of
the gauge needle is controlled by the amount of cur-
rent passing through the coils to ground at the sen-
sor.
OIL PRESSURE WARNING LAMP
The case grounded oil pressure switch connects to
circuit G6. Circuit G6 connects to the oil pressure
warning lamp. Circuit F87 connects to the instru-
ment cluster connector and supplies battery voltage
to oil pressure lamp.
When the oil pressure switch close, battery voltage
flows through the warning lamp to ground through
the switch, illuminating the lamp.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer module in the instrument cluster
operates the tachometer. The Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) supplies the signal for the tachometer
on circuit G21. Circuit G21 connects to cavity 43 of
the PCM.
SPEEDOMETER
The speedometer and odometer receive a signal
from the vehicle speed sensor on circuit G7. Circuit
G7 also connects to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) at cavity 47.
ABS WARNING LAMP
Circuit F87 provides power for the ABS warning
lamp at the instrument cluster. Ground for the ABS
warning lamp is provided by either the ABS control
module or by the ABS power relay when the relay is
not energized. The ABS control module illuminates
the lamp by providing ground on circuit B205.
Circuit B205 splices to connect to circuit B235
through a diode. When the ABS power relay is not
energized, it connects circuit B235 to circuit Z12. The
ground path for the warning lamp is through the di-
ode to circuit B235, through the ABS power relay to
ground on circuit Z12.
The diode between circuit B205 and B235 prevents
voltage from flowing to the ABS control module when
the ABS power relay switches to supply power on cir-
cuit B235.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL)
The PCM provides ground for the instrument clus-
ter malfunction indicator lamp on circuit G3. Circuit
G3 connects to cavity 32 of the PCM. Circuit F87provides voltage for the lamp. The MIL displays the
message CHECK ENGINE when illuminated.
For information regarding diagnostic trouble code
access using the MIL lamp, refer to Group 14, Fuel
Systems.
LOW WASHER FLUID WARNING LAMP
Circuit G29 connects the low washer fluid switch to
the warning lamp in the instrument cluster. Circuit
F12 supplies battery voltage to the switch.
When the low washer fluid switch closes, it con-
nects circuits G29 and F12. Battery voltage from cir-
cuit F12 powers the low washer fluid lamp. Circuit
Z1 at the instrument cluster provides ground to illu-
minate the warning lamp.
SEAT BELT INDICATOR WARNING LAMP
The seat belt indicator warning lamp is activated
by the chime/buzzer on circuit G11. Circuit G11 sup-
plies power to instrument cluster for the lamp. Cir-
cuit Z1 provides ground for the lamp at the cluster.
The chime/buzzer module powers circuit G11 after
it receives an input on circuit G10 indicating the seat
belt switch is open.
HIGH-BEAM INDICATOR LAMP
Circuit L3 supplies power for the high-beam indi-
cator lamp. The ground path for the lamp is through
circuit Z1. If the vehicle has Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL), the DRL module powers circuit L3
through circuit G465. On vehicles not equipped with
DRL, the headlamp switch powers circuit L3.
Circuit Z1 provides ground for the indicator lamp
at the cluster.
TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR LAMPS
Circuits L61 and L60 power for the turn signal in-
dicator lamps. Circuit L61 powers the left indicator
lamp. Circuit L60 powers the right indicator lamp.
Circuit Z1 provides ground for the lamps.
BRAKE WARNING LAMP
Circuit F87 supplies power to the park brake lamp.
Ground for the park brake lamp is supplied through
the case grounded park brake switch or brake warn-
ing switch on circuit G9. Circuit G9 Connects to cir-
cuit B203. Circuit B203 connects to the brake
warning lamp at the instrument cluster.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION UP-SHIFT LAMP
Circuit F87 supplies power for the manual trans-
mission up-shift lamp. The lamp illuminates when
the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) provides
ground for the lamp on circuit K54. Circuit K54 con-
nects to cavity 54 of the PCM.

CHARGING SYSTEM INDICATOR LAMP
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) illuminates
the charging system indicator lamp by providing
ground for the lamp on circuit G12. Circuit G12 con-
nects to cavity 36 of the PCM. Circuit F87 supplies
battery voltage to the lamp.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) SWITCH
When the 4WD switch closes, circuit Z1 provides
ground for the 4WD indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster. Circuit F87 connects to the instrument clus-
ter and supplies battery voltage to the 4WD indicator
lamp. Circuit 107 connects the indicator lamp to the
4WD switch. Circuit 106 connects the lamp to the in-
strument cluster and circuit F87.
CLUSTER GROUND
Circuit Z1 from the instrument cluster left connec-
tor provides ground for the illumination lamps and
indicator lamps.
