GENERAL INFORMATION
Following are general descriptions of major instru-
ment panel components. Refer to Group 8W - Wiring
Diagrams for complete circuit descriptions and dia-
grams.
INSTRUMENT PANEL
Modular instrument panel construction allows all
gauges and controls to be serviced from the front of
the panel. In addition, most instrument panel wiring
or heater and air conditioning components can be ac-
cessed without complete instrument panel removal. If
necessary, the instrument panel can be rolled-down
and removed from the vehicle as an assembly.
Removal of the instrument cluster bezel allows ac-
cess to the cluster assembly, most switches, the cli-
mate controls, and the radio. Removal of the cluster
assembly allows access to the individual gauges, illu-
mination and indicator lamp bulbs, printed circuits,
and most wiring.
Removal of the lower instrument panel allows ac-
cess to heater and air conditioning components, the
fuseblock module, the relay center, and other wiring
and electrical components. Those models equipped
with a driver's-side airbag restraint have a knee
blocker and reinforcement behind the driver's-side
lower instrument panel.
The instrument panel layout is mirror image for
left-hand and right-hand drive vehicles. In most
cases, the diagnosis and service procedures found in
this group are applicable to either vehicle. Although,most illustrations represent only the typical left-hand
drive version. Exceptions are clearly identified as
Right-Hand Drive (RHD).
INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS
Two basic instrument cluster options are offered on
XJ (Cherokee) models. One is referred to as a low-
line cluster, and the other is referred to as a high-
line cluster. Each cluster is divided into two areas:
the gauge area, and the tell-tale area. Each area is
served by a separate printed circuit and wiring con-
nector. Some variations of each cluster exist due to
optional equipment and regulatory requirements.
The low-line cluster includes the following gauges:
²fuel gauge
²speedometer/odometer.
The low-line cluster includes provisions for the fol-
lowing indicator lamps:
²anti-lock brake system lamp
²brake warning lamp
²coolant temperature warning lamp
²four-wheel drive indicator lamps
²generator warning lamp
²headlamp high beam indicator lamp
²low oil pressure warning lamp
²low washer fluid warning lamp
²malfunction indicator (Check Engine) lamp
²seat belt reminder lamp
²turn signal indicator lamps
²upshift indicator lamp.
JINSTRUMENT PANEL AND GAUGES 8E - 1

The high-line cluster includes the following gauges:
²coolant temperature gauge
²fuel gauge
²oil pressure gauge
²speedometer/odometer
²tachometer
²trip odometer
²voltmeter.
The high-line cluster includes provisions for the fol-
lowing indicator lamps:
²anti-lock brake system lamp
²brake warning lamp
²four-wheel drive indicator lamps
²headlamp high beam indicator lamp
²low fuel warning lamp
²low washer fluid warning lamp
²malfunction indicator (Check Engine) lamp
²seat belt reminder lamp
²turn signal indicator lamps
²upshift indicator lamp.
GAUGES
With the ignition switch in the ON or START posi-
tion, voltage is supplied to all gauges through the in-
strument cluster gauge area printed circuit. With the
ignition switch in the OFF position, voltage is not
supplied to the gauges. A gauge pointer may remain
within the gauge scale after the ignition switch is
OFF. However, the gauges do not accurately indicate
any vehicle condition unless the ignition switch is
ON.
All gauges except the odometer are air core mag-
netic units. Two fixed electromagnetic coils are lo-
cated within the gauge. These coils are wrapped at
right angles to each other around a movable perma-
nent magnet. The movable magnet is suspended
within the coils on one end of a shaft. The gauge nee-
dle is attached to the other end of the shaft.
One of the coils has a fixed current flowing through
it to maintain a constant magnetic field strength.
Current flow through the second coil changes, which
causes changes in its magnetic field strength. The
current flowing through the second coil can be
changed by:
²a variable resistor-type sending unit (fuel level,
coolant temperature, or oil pressure)
²changes in electrical system voltage (voltmeter)
²electronic control circuitry (speedometer/odometer,
tachometer).
The gauge needle moves as the movable permanent
magnet aligns itself to the changing magnetic fields
created around it by the electromagnets.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The coolant temperature gauge gives an indication
of engine coolant temperature. The coolant tempera-
ture sending unit is a thermistor that changes elec-
trical resistance with changes in engine coolanttemperature. High sending unit resistance causes
low coolant temperature readings. Low resistance
causes high coolant temperature readings.
The gauge will read at the high end of the scale
when the ignition switch is turned to the START po-
sition. This is caused by the bulb test circuit wiring
provision. The same wiring is used for the high-line
cluster with a coolant temperature gauge and the
low-line cluster with a coolant temperature warning
lamp. Sending unit resistance values are shown in a
chart in Specifications.
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge gives an indication of the level of
fuel in the fuel tank. The fuel gauge sending unit has
a float attached to a swing-arm in the fuel tank. The
float moves up or down within the fuel tank as fuel
level changes. As the float moves, an electrical con-
tact on the swing-arm wipes across a resistor coil,
which changes sending unit resistance. High sending
unit resistance causes low fuel level readings. Low
resistance causes high fuel level readings. Sending
unit resistance values are shown in a chart in Spec-
ifications.
OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
The oil pressure gauge gives an indication of en-
gine oil pressure. The combination oil pressure send-
ing unit contains a flexible diaphragm. The
diaphragm moves in response to changes in engine
oil pressure. As the diaphragm moves, sending unit
resistance increases or decreases. High resistance on
the gauge side of the sending unit causes high oil
pressure readings. Low resistance causes low oil
pressure readings. Sending unit resistance values are
shown in a chart in Specifications.
SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER
The speedometer/odometer gives an indication of
vehicle speed and travel distance. The speedometer
receives a vehicle speed pulse signal from the Vehicle
Speed Sensor (VSS). An electronic integrated circuit
contained within the speedometer reads and analyzes
the pulse signal. It then adjusts the ground path re-
sistance of one electromagnet in the gauge to control
needle movement. It also sends signals to an electric
stepper motor to control movement of the odometer
number rolls. Frequency values for the pulse signal
are shown in a chart in Specifications.
The VSS is mounted to an adapter near the trans-
mission (two-wheel drive) or transfer case (four-wheel
drive) output shaft. The sensor is driven through the
adapter by a speedometer pinion gear. The adapter
and pinion vary with transmission, transfer case,
axle ratio and tire size. Refer to Group 21 - Trans-
mission and Transfer Case for more information.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Following are general descriptions of major instru-
ment panel components. Refer to Group 8W - Wiring
Diagrams for complete circuit descriptions and dia-
grams.
INSTRUMENT PANEL
Modular instrument panel construction allows all
gauges and controls to be serviced from the front of
the panel. In addition, most instrument panel wiring
and heater components can be accessed without com-
plete instrument panel removal.
Removal of the left instrument cluster bezel allows
access to the main cluster assembly and most
switches. Removal of the center cluster bezel allows
access to the gauge package cluster assembly, the
heater controls, and the radio. Removal of the cluster
assemblies allows access to the individual gauges, il-
lumination and indicator lamp bulbs, printed cir-
cuits, and most wiring.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS
The instrument cluster used on YJ (Wrangler) mod-
els consists of two separate assemblies. The main
cluster assembly is located on the left side of the in-
strument panel, centered over the steering column
opening. The gauge package cluster assembly is lo-
cated near the center of the instrument panel. Each
cluster assembly is served by a separate printed cir-
cuit and wiring connector. Some variations of each
cluster exist due to optional equipment and regula-
tory requirements.
The main cluster assembly includes a speedometer/
odometer/trip odometer and a tachometer. It also in-
cludes provisions for the following indicator lamps:
²anti-lock brake system lamp
²brake warning lamp
²headlamp high beam indicator lamp
²malfunction indicator (Check Engine) lamp
²seat belt reminder lamp²turn signal indicator lamps
²upshift indicator lamp.
The gauge package cluster assembly includes a
four-wheel drive indicator lamp and the following
gauges:
²coolant temperature gauge
²fuel gauge
²oil pressure gauge
²voltmeter.
GAUGES
With the ignition switch in the ON or START posi-
tion, voltage is supplied to all gauges through the
two cluster printed circuits. With the ignition switch
in the OFF position, voltage is not supplied to the
gauges. A gauge pointer may remain within the
gauge scale after the ignition switch is OFF. How-
ever, the gauges do not accurately indicate any vehi-
cle condition unless the ignition switch is ON.
All gauges except the odometer are air core mag-
netic units. Two fixed electromagnetic coils are lo-
cated within the gauge. These coils are wrapped at
right angles to each other around a movable perma-
nent magnet. The movable magnet is suspended
within the coils on one end of a shaft. The gauge nee-
dle is attached to the other end of the shaft.
One of the coils has a fixed current flowing through
it to maintain a constant magnetic field strength.
Current flow through the second coil changes, which
causes changes in its magnetic field strength. The
current flowing through the second coil can be
changed by:
²a variable resistor-type sending unit (fuel level,
coolant temperature, or oil pressure)
²changes in electrical system voltage (voltmeter)
²electronic control circuitry (speedometer/odometer,
tachometer).

magnet aligns itself to the changing magnetic fields
created around it by the electromagnets.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The coolant temperature gauge gives an indication
of engine coolant temperature. The coolant tempera-
ture sending unit is a thermistor that changes elec-
trical resistance with changes in engine coolant
temperature. High sending unit resistance causes
low coolant temperature readings. Low resistance
causes high coolant temperature readings. Sending
unit resistance values are shown in a chart in Spec-
ifications.

float moves up or down within the fuel tank as fuel
level changes. As the float moves, an electrical con-
tact on the swing-arm wipes across a resistor coil,
which changes sending unit resistance. High sending
unit resistance causes high fuel level readings. Low
resistance causes low fuel level readings. Sending
unit resistance values are shown in a chart in Spec-
ifications.

gine oil pressure. The combination oil pressure send-
ing unit contains a flexible diaphragm. The
diaphragm moves in response to changes in engine
oil pressure. As the diaphragm moves, sending unit
resistance increases or decreases. High resistance on
the gauge side of the sending unit causes high oil
pressure readings. Low resistance causes low oil
pressure readings. Sending unit resistance values are
shown in a chart in Specifications.
SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER
The speedometer/odometer give an indication of ve-
hicle speed and travel distance. The speedometer re-
ceives a vehicle speed pulse signal from the Vehicle
Speed Sensor (VSS). An electronic integrated circuit
contained within the speedometer reads and analyzes
the pulse signal. It then adjusts the ground path re-
sistance of one electromagnet in the gauge to control
needle movement. It also sends signals to an electric
stepper motor to control movement of the odometer
number rolls. Frequency values for the pulse signal
are shown in a chart in Specifications.
The VSS is mounted to an adapter near the trans-
fer case output shaft. The sensor is driven through
the adapter by a speedometer pinion gear. The
adapter and pinion vary with transmission, axle ratio
and tire size. Refer to Group 21 - Transmission and
Transfer Case for more information.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer gives an indication of engine speed
in Revolutions-Per-Minute (RPM). With the engine
running, the tachometer receives an engine speed
pulse signal from the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). An electronic integrated circuit contained
within the tachometer reads and analyzes the pulse
signal. It then adjusts the ground path resistance of
one electromagnet in the gauge to control needle
movement. Frequency values for the pulse signal are
shown in a chart in Specifications.
TRIP ODOMETER
The trip odometer is driven by the same electronic
integrated circuit as the speedometer/odometer. How-
ever, by depressing the trip odometer reset knob on
the face of the speedometer, the trip odometer can be
reset to zero. The trip odometer is serviced only as a
part of the speedometer/odometer gauge assembly.
VOLTMETER
The voltmeter is connected in parallel with the bat-
tery. With the ignition switch ON, the voltmeter in-
dicates battery or generator output voltage,
whichever is greater.
INDICATOR LAMPS
All indicator lamps, except the four-wheel drive in-
dicator, are located in the main cluster tell-tale area
above the steering column opening. Each of the
lamps is served by the main cluster printed circuit
and cluster connector. The four-wheel drive indicator
lamp is located in the gauge package cluster and is
served by the gauge package printed circuit and clus-
ter connector.
Up to eleven indicator lamps can be found in the
tell-tale area of the main cluster. These lamps are ar-
ranged in two rows, with six lamps in the upper row
and five lamps in the lower row.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM LAMP
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) lamp is
switched to ground by the ABS module. The module
lights the lamp when the ignition switch is turned to
the START position as a bulb test. The lamp will
stay on for 3 to 5 seconds after vehicle start-up to in-
dicate a system self-test is in process. If the lamp re-
mains on after start-up, or comes on and stays on
while driving, it may indicate that the ABS module
has detected a system malfunction or that the system
has become inoperative. Refer to Group 5 - Brakes
for more information.
BRAKE WARNING LAMP
The brake warning lamp warns the driver that the
parking brake is applied or that the pressures in the
two halves of the split brake hydraulic system are
unequal. With the ignition switch turned ON, battery

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
gauge monitors resistance in circuit G4. The low fuel
level module powers an light emitting diode (LED)

IGNITION SWITCH
Circuit A1 from fuse 11 in the power distribution
center (PDC), supplies battery voltage to the ignition
switch. Depending upon position, the ignition switch
powers circuits A21, A38, A41, or A48.
START POSITION
In the START position, the ignition switch connects
circuit A1 to circuit A41. Circuit A41 connects to the
coil side of the starter motor relay.
Additionally in the START position, the case
grounded ignition switch provides ground for the
brake lamp switch and the warning lamps in the in-
strument cluster.
START OR RUN POSITION
In the START or RUN position, the ignition switch
connects circuit A1 to circuit A21. Circuit A21 splices
to power the coil side of the Automatic Shut Down
(ASD) relay and the fuel pump relay.
RUN (ONLY) POSITION
When the ignition switch is in the RUN position, it
connects circuit A1 to circuit A38. Circuit A38 feeds
circuit L39.
ACCESSORY OR RUN POSITIONS
In the ACCESSORY or RUN positions, the ignition
switch connects circuit A1 to circuit A48. Circuit A48
connects to a bus bar in the fuse block.
AUTOMATIC SHUT DOWN (ASD) RELAY
When the ignition switch is in either the START or
RUN positions, it connects circuit A1 from fuse 6 in
the Power Distribution Center (PDC) to circuit A21.
Circuit A21 supplies battery voltage to the coil side of
the Automatic Shut Down (ASD) relay. The Power-train Control Module (PCM) provides ground for the
relay on circuit K51. Circuit K51 connects to cavity
51 of the PCM.
When the PCM grounds the ASD relay, contacts in-
side the relay close and connect circuit A18 from fuse
14 in the PDC to circuit A142. Circuit A142 splices to
the generator field terminal, fuel injectors, and igni-
tion coil. Circuit A142 also connects to cavity 57 of
the PCM.
