Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any malfunction it
detects. Each time the airbag indicator fails to illu-
minate due to an open or short in the cluster airbag
indicator circuit, the cluster sends a message notify-
ing the ACM of the condition, then the instrument
cluster and the ACM will each store a DTC. For
proper diagnosis of the airbag system, the ACM, the
PCI data bus, or the electronic message inputs to the
instrument cluster that control the airbag indicator,
a DRBIIItscan tool is required. Refer to the appro-
priate diagnostic information.
BRAKE/PARK BRAKE
INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A brake indicator is standard equipment on all
instrument clusters. The brake indicator is located
near the left edge of the instrument cluster, to the
left of the tachometer. There are two versions of the
brake indicator. The version used depends upon the
market for which the vehicle is manufactured. The
version of the brake indicator used for vehicles man-
ufactured for the United States consists of the word
ªBRAKEº imprinted on a red lens. The Rest-Of-World
(ROW) market version of this indicator has two
International Control and Display Symbol icons
imprinted on the red lens; one is the icon for ªBrake
Failureº, and the other is the icon for ªParking
Brakeº. In either case, the lens is located behind a
cutout in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster
overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents
the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. The ªBRAKEº text or the two icons
appear silhouetted against a red field through the
translucent outer layer of the overlay when the indi-
cator is illuminated from behind by a Light Emitting
Diode (LED), which is soldered onto the instrument
cluster electronic circuit board. The brake indicator
lens is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster
lens, hood and mask unit.
OPERATION
The brake indicator gives an indication to the vehi-
cle operator when the parking brake is applied, when
the fluid level of the brake hydraulic system is low,
or if there are certain malfunctions of the Anti-lock
Brake System (ABS). This indicator is controlled by a
transistor on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board based upon cluster programming, electronic
messages received by the cluster from the Controller
Anti-lock Brake (CAB) over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus, and a hard
wired input to the cluster from the park brake
switch. The brake indicator Light Emitting Diode(LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow
this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition
switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the indi-
cator will always be off when the ignition switch is in
any position except On or Start. The LED only illu-
minates when it is provided a path to ground by the
instrument cluster transistor. The instrument cluster
will turn on the brake indicator for the following rea-
sons:
²Bulb Test- Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the brake indicator is illu-
minated by the instrument cluster for about three
seconds as a bulb test.
²Brake Indicator Lamp-On Message- Each
time the cluster receives a brake indicator lamp-on
message from the CAB, the brake indicator will be
illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until
the cluster receives a brake indicator lamp-off mes-
sage from the CAB.
²Park Brake Switch Input- Each time the
cluster logic circuit detects ground on the park brake
switch sense circuit (park brake switch closed = park
brake applied or not fully released) the brake indica-
tor is illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated
until the park brake switch sense input to the cluster
is an open circuit (park brake switch open = park
brake fully released), or until the ignition switch is
turned to the Off position, whichever occurs first.
²Communication Error- If the cluster receives
no brake indicator lamp-on or lamp-off messages
from the CAB for six consecutive seconds, the brake
indicator is illuminated. The indicator remains illu-
minated until the cluster receives a single valid
brake indicator lamp-off message from the CAB.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the brake indicator will be
turned on for the duration of the test to confirm the
functionality of the LED and the cluster control cir-
cuitry.
The park brake switch on the park brake pedal
mechanism provides a hard wired ground input to
the instrument cluster circuitry through the red
brake warning indicator driver circuit whenever the
park brake is applied or not fully released. The CAB
continually monitors the input from the brake fluid
level switch and the circuits of the anti-lock brake
system, then sends the proper brake indicator
lamp-on or lamp-off messages to the instrument clus-
ter. If the CAB sends a brake indicator lamp-on mes-
sage after the bulb test, it indicates that the CAB
has detected a brake hydraulic system malfunction
and/or that the ABS system has become inoperative.
The CAB will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
for any malfunction it detects.

For further diagnosis of the brake indicator or the
instrument cluster circuitry that controls the indica-
tor, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). The park
brake switch input to the instrument cluster can be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and
methods. For proper diagnosis of the brake fluid level
switch input to the CAB, the anti-lock brake system,
the CAB, the PCI data bus, or the electronic message
inputs to the instrument cluster that control the
brake indicator, a DRBIIItscan tool is required.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BRAKE INDICATOR
The diagnosis found here addresses an inoperative
park brake indicator condition. If there are problems
with several indicators in the instrument cluster,
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUS-
TER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If the brake
indicator stays on with the ignition switch in the On
position and the park brake released, or comes on
while driving, (Refer to 5 - BRAKES - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING). If no brake system problem is
found, the following procedures will help to locate a
shorted or open circuit, or a faulty park brake switch
input. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
The wiring information includes wiring diagrams,
proper wire and connector repair procedures, details
of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-
out information and location views for the various
wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.

CHECK GAUGES INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A check gauges indicator is standard equipment on
all instrument clusters. The check gauges indicator is
located on the right edge of the instrument cluster, to
the right of the speedometer. The check gauges indi-
cator consists of the words ªCHECK GAGESº
imprinted on a red lens. The lens is located behind a
cutout in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster
overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents
the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. The ªCHECK GAGESº text appears sil-
houetted against a red field through the translucent
outer layer of the overlay when the indicator is illu-
minated from behind by a Light Emitting Diode
(LED), which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board. The check gauges indicator

BRAKE/PARK BRAKE INDICATOR (Continued)

OPERATION
The speedometer gives an indication to the vehicle
operator of the vehicle road speed. This gauge is con-
trolled by the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board based upon cluster programming and elec-
tronic messages received by the cluster from the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Program-
mable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus. The
speedometer is an air core magnetic unit that
receives battery current on the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board through the fused ignition
switch output (run-start) circuit whenever the igni-
tion switch is in the On or Start positions. The clus-
ter is programmed to move the gauge needle back to
the low end of the scale after the ignition switch is
turned to the Off position. The instrument cluster
circuitry controls the gauge needle position and pro-
vides the following features:
²Vehicle Speed Message- Each time the clus-
ter receives a vehicle speed message from the PCM it
will calculate the correct vehicle speed reading and
position the gauge needle at that speed position on
the gauge scale. The cluster will receive a new vehi-
cle speed message and reposition the gauge pointer
accordingly about every 86 milliseconds. The gauge
needle will continue to be positioned at the actual
vehicle speed position on the gauge scale until the
ignition switch is turned to the Off position.
²Communication Error- If the cluster fails to
receive a speedometer message, it will hold the gauge
needle at the last indication for about six seconds, or
until the ignition switch is turned to the Off position,
whichever occurs first. If a new speed message is not
received after about six seconds, the gauge needle
will return to the far left (low) end of the scale.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the gauge needle will be
swept across the entire gauge scale and back in order
to confirm the functionality of the gauge and the
cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the vehicle speed
information received from the Controller Anti-lock
Brake (CAB) to determine the vehicle road speed,
then sends the proper vehicle speed messages to the
instrument cluster. For further diagnosis of the
speedometer or the instrument cluster circuitry that
controls the gauge, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/IN-
STRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TEST-
ING). For proper diagnosis of the CAB, the PCM, the
PCI data bus, or the electronic message inputs to the
instrument cluster that control the speedometer, a
DRBIIItscan tool is required. Refer to the appropri-
ate diagnostic information.
TACHOMETER
DESCRIPTION
A tachometer is standard equipment on all instru-
ment clusters. The tachometer is located to the left of
the speedometer in the instrument cluster. The
tachometer consists of a movable gauge needle or
pointer controlled by the instrument cluster circuitry,
and a fixed 255 degree scale on the gauge dial face
that reads left-to-right from 0 to 7 for gasoline
engines, or from 0 to 6 for diesel engines. The text ªX
1000º (base cluster) or ªRPM X 1000º (premium clus-
ter) imprinted on the cluster overlay directly below
the hub of the tachometer needle identifies that each
number on the tachometer scale is to be multiplied
by 1000 rpm. The gasoline engine tachometer has a
red zone beginning at 5800 RPM, while the red zone
for the diesel engine tachometer begins at 4200 RPM.
The tachometer in the premium version cluster for
certain engine and market applications also includes
red text located in the center of the gauge dial face
just above the hub of the tachometer needle that
specifies a special fuel requirement.
The tachometer graphics are either white, gray
and orange against a black gauge dial face (base
cluster) or black, gray and red against a taupe gauge
dial face (premium cluster), making them clearly vis-
ible within the instrument cluster in daylight. When
illuminated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer
controlled cluster illumination lighting with the exte-
rior lamps turned On, the base cluster white gauge
graphics appear blue-green and the orange graphics
still appear orange, while the premium cluster taupe
gauge dial face appears blue-green with the black
graphics silhouetted against the illuminated back-
ground and the red graphics still appear red. The
gray gauge graphics for both versions of the cluster
are not illuminated. The orange gauge needle in the
base cluster gauge is internally illuminated, while
the black gauge needle in the premium cluster gauge
is not.
Base cluster gauge illumination is provided by
replaceable incandescent bulb and bulb holder units
located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board. Premium cluster gauge illumination is pro-
vided by an integral electro-luminescent lamp that is
serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster. The
tachometer is serviced as a unit with the instrument
cluster.
OPERATION
The tachometer gives an indication to the vehicle
operator of the engine speed. This gauge is controlled
by the instrument cluster electronic circuit board
based upon cluster programming and electronic mes-
sages received by the cluster from the Powertrain
