EMIC also uses several hard wired inputs in order to
perform its many functions. The EMIC module incor-
porates a blue-green digital Vacuum Fluorescent Dis-
play (VFD) for displaying odometer and trip
odometer information.
The EMIC houses six analog gauges and has pro-
visions for up to twenty indicators (Fig. 2). The
EMIC includes the following analog gauges:
²Coolant Temperature Gauge
²Fuel Gauge
²Oil Pressure Gauge
²Speedometer
²Tachometer
²Voltage Gauge
Some of the EMIC indicators are automatically
configured when the EMIC is connected to the vehi-
cle electrical system for compatibility with certain
optional equipment or equipment required for regula-
tory purposes in certain markets. While each EMIC
may have provisions for indicators to support every
available option, the configurable indicators will not
be functional in a vehicle that does not have the
equipment that an indicator supports. The EMIC
includes provisions for the following indicators (Fig.
2):
²Airbag Indicator (with Airbags only)
²Antilock Brake System (ABS) Indicator
²Brake Indicator
²Check Gauges Indicator
²Coolant Low Indicator (with Diesel Engine
only)
²Cruise Indicator
²Four-Wheel Drive Part Time Indicator
(with Selec-Trac NVG-242 Transfer Case only)
²Front Fog Lamp Indicator (with Front Fog
Lamps only)
²High Beam Indicator
²Low Fuel Indicator
²Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
²Overdrive-Off Indicator (except Diesel

Many indicators in the EMIC are illuminated by a
dedicated Light Emitting Diode (LED) that is sol-
dered onto the EMIC electronic circuit board. The
LEDs are not available for service replacement and,
if damaged or faulty, the entire EMIC must be
replaced. Base cluster illumination is accomplished
by dimmable incandescent back lighting, which illu-
minates the gauges for visibility when the exterior
lighting is turned on. Premium cluster illumination
is accomplished by a dimmable electro-luminescent
lamp that is serviced only as a unit with the EMIC.
Each of the incandescent bulbs is secured by an inte-
gral bulb holder to the electronic circuit board from
the back of the cluster housing. The incandescent
bulb/bulb holder units are available for service
replacement.
Hard wired circuitry connects the EMIC to the
electrical system of the vehicle. These hard wired cir-
cuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which
are routed throughout the vehicle and retained by
many different methods. These circuits may be con-
nected to each other, to the vehicle electrical system
and to the EMIC through the use of a combination of
soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many
different types of wire harness terminal connectors
and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wiring infor-
mation. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
further details on wire harness routing and reten-
tion, as well as pin-out and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
The EMIC modules for this model are serviced only
as complete units. The EMIC module cannot be
adjusted or repaired. If a gauge, an LED indicator,
the VFD, the electronic circuit board, the circuit
board hardware, the cluster overlay, the electro-lumi-
nescent lamp (premium model only) or the EMIC
housing are damaged or faulty, the entire EMIC mod-
ule must be replaced. The cluster lens, hood and
mask unit and the individual incandescent lamp
bulbs with holders are available for service replace-
ment.

SHIFT INDICATOR (TRANSFER
CASE)
DESCRIPTION
A part time indicator is standard equipment on all
instrument clusters, but is only functional on vehi-
cles equipped with the standard equipment Selec-
Trac four-wheel drive system. The part time indicator
is located near the right edge of the instrument clus-
ter, to the right of the speedometer. The part time
indicator consists of the words ªPART TIMEº
imprinted on an amber lens. The lens is located
behind a cutout in the opaque layer of the instru-
ment cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the
overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly vis-
ible when it is not illuminated. The words ªPART
TIMEº appear silhouetted against an amber field
through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when the indicator is illuminated from behind by a
replaceable incandescent bulb and bulb holder unit
located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board. The part time indicator lens is serviced as a
unit with the instrument cluster lens, hood and mask
unit.
OPERATION
The part time indicator gives an indication to the
vehicle operator that a four-wheel drive part time
operating mode of the transfer case is selected. On
vehicles with the standard equipment Selec-Trac
four-wheel drive system, the part time indicator illu-
minates when the NV-242 transfer case is engaged in
either the4X4Part Time or 4 Lo positions. This
indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instru-
ment cluster electronic circuit board based upon clus-
ter programming and electronic messages received by
the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus. The part time indicator
bulb is completely controlled by the instrument clus-
ter 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 bulb only illu-
minates when it is provided a path to ground by the
instrument cluster transistor. The instrument cluster
will turn on the part time indicator for the following
reasons:
²Part Time Indicator Lamp-On Message-
Each time the cluster receives a part time indicator
lamp-on message from the PCM indicating that a
four-wheel drive part time position of the transfer
case has been selected, the part time indicator will beilluminated. The indicator remains illuminated until
the cluster receives a part time indicator lamp-off
message from the PCM.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the part time indicator will
be turned on for the duration of the test to confirm
the functionality of the bulb and the cluster control
circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the transfer case
switch to determine the driveline operating mode.
The PCM then sends the proper part time indicator
lamp-on and lamp-off messages to the instrument
cluster. If the part time indicator fails to light during
the actuator test, replace the bulb with a known good
unit. For further diagnosis of the part time indicator
or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the
indicator, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). For
proper diagnosis of the transfer case switch, the
PCM, the PCI data bus, or the electronic message
inputs to the instrument cluster that control the part
time indicator, a DRBIIItscan tool is required. Refer
to the appropriate diagnostic information.
SKIS INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) indicator
is standard equipment on all instrument clusters, but
is only operational on vehicles equipped with the
optional SKIS. The SKIS indicator is located in the
upper right corner of the instrument cluster, to the
right of the speedometer. The SKIS indicator consists
of a graphical representation or icon of a circled and
crossed-out key imprinted on an amber 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 icon appears
silhouetted against an amber field through the trans-
lucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illumi-
nated from behind by an incandescent bulb and bulb
holder unit located on the instrument cluster elec-
tronic circuit board. The SKIS indicator lens is ser-
viced as a unit with the instrument cluster lens, hood
and mask unit.
OPERATION
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) indica-
tor gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the
status of the SKIS. This indicator is controlled by a
transistor on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board based upon cluster programming and elec-
tronic messages received by the cluster from the Sen-
try Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) over the
WJINSTRUMENT CLUSTER 8J - 29
Page 493 of 2199
data bus messages are being received for initial oper-
ation. Initiate the self-diagnostic test as follows:
(1) With the ignition switch in the Off position,
simultaneously depress and hold the C/T button and
the Reset button.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
(3) Continue to hold both buttons depressed until
the EVIC software version information is displayed,
then release both buttons.
(4) Following completion of these tests, the EVIC
module will display one of the following messages:
a.Pass Self Test- Momentarily depress and
release the Reset button to return to the compass/
temperature/trip computer display mode. The EVIC
module is working properly.
b.Failed Self Test- The EVIC module has an
internal failure. The EVIC module is faulty and must
be replaced.
c.Not Receiving J1850 Message- The EVIC
module is not receiving proper message input
through the PCI data bus. This can result from one
or more faulty electronic modules in the vehicle, or
from a faulty PCI data bus. The use of a DRB scan
tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual
are required for further diagnosis.
NOTE: If the compass functions, but accuracy is
suspect, it may be necessary to perform a variation
adjustment. This procedure allows the compass
unit to accommodate variations in the earth's mag-
netic field strength, based on geographic location.
Refer to Compass Variation Adjustment in the Stan-
dard Procedures section of this group.
NOTE: If the compass reading displays a blank, and
only ªCALº appears in the display, demagnetizing
may be necessary to remove excessive residual
magnetic fields from the vehicle. Refer to Compass
Demagnetizing in the Standard Procedures section
of this group.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TIRE PRESSURE
SYSTEM TEST
The following test can be used to verify two func-
tions. One, that the tire pressure sensors are trans-
mitting properly and two, the EVIC module is
receiving these transmissions accordingly.
(1) Retrain the tire sensors (Refer to 22 - TIRES/
WHEELS/TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING/SEN-
SOR - STANDARD PROCEDURE). The tire sensors
must be retrained in order to set the proper trans-
mitting time cycle (twice a minute), failure to retrain
the sensors will cause a much slower transmitting
time cycle (once a hour).(2) Using the STEP button on the overhead con-
sole, scroll to the blank display, then press the
RESET button for five seconds, a beep will sound
indicating the start of this test. The vehicle icon and
transmission counters will now be displayed, (same
display as individual tire pressure except counters
replace tire pressure values).
(3) Upon entering the test mode, the EVIC will
clear the sensor counter and each time a sensor sig-
nal for a road tire is received, the EVIC will update
the counter value (vehicle must be driven at 25 mph
to transmit). The counter values should all read the
same value. If any of the road tires indicate a differ-
ent value than another tire sensor, this is a sign of a
problem. Replace the appropriate tire sensor and
retest the system. This test will continue until any of
the overhead console buttons are pressed or the igni-
tion is turned off.
NOTE: Pressing the RESET button during the test
will sound a beep and reset all the counter values
back to zero.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the overhead console from the head-
liner (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CON-
SOLE - REMOVAL).
(3) Remove the four screws that secure the Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) module to
the overhead console housing (Fig. 5).
(4) Remove the EVIC module from the overhead
console housing.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the EVIC module onto the overhead
console housing.
(2) Install and tighten the four screws that secure
the EVIC module to the overhead console housing.
Tighten the screws to 0.9 N´m (8 in. lbs.).
(3) Install the overhead console onto the headliner
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE -
INSTALLATION).
(4) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
NOTE: If a new EVIC module has been installed, the
compass will have to be calibrated and the variance
set. Refer to Compass Variation Adjustment and
Compass Calibration in the Service Procedures sec-
tion of this group for the procedures.

PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCI-
DENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE
PERSONAL INJURY.WARNING: THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE CON-
TAINS THE IMPACT SENSOR, WHICH ENABLES
THE SYSTEM TO DEPLOY THE SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINTS. NEVER STRIKE OR DROP THE AIR-
BAG CONTROL MODULE, AS IT CAN DAMAGE THE
IMPACT SENSOR OR AFFECT ITS CALIBRATION. IF
AN AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE IS ACCIDENTALLY
DROPPED DURING SERVICE, THE MODULE MUST
BE SCRAPPED AND REPLACED WITH A NEW UNIT.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS WARNING COULD
RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL, INCOMPLETE, OR
IMPROPER SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT DEPLOY-
MENT AND POSSIBLE OCCUPANT INJURIES.
(1) Carefully position the Airbag Control Module
(ACM) to the mount that is welded onto the top of
the floor panel transmission tunnel (Fig. 9). The bot-
tom of the ACM housing is keyed. When the ACM is
correctly positioned, the bottom of the housing will fit
flush with the mount and the orientation arrow on
the label on top of the housing will be pointed for-
ward in the vehicle.
(2) Install and tighten the four screws that secure
the ACM to the mount that is welded onto the top of
the floor panel transmission tunnel. Tighten the
screws to 11 N´m (95 in. lbs.).
(3) Reconnect the instrument panel wire harness
connector for the ACM to the ACM connector recep-
tacle. Be certain that the connector latch and the red
CPA lock are fully engaged (Fig. 8).
(4) Reconnect the airbag overlay wire harness con-
nector for the ACM to the ACM connector receptacle.
Be certain that the connector latch and the red CPA
lock are fully engaged.
(5) Reinstall the center console bracket onto the
two studs on the floor panel transmission tunnel just
forward of the ACM (Fig. 7).
(6) Install and tighten the two nuts that secure
the center console bracket to the studs on the floor
panel transmission tunnel. Tighten the nuts to 28
N´m (21 ft. lbs.).
(7) Reinstall the center console onto the top of the
floor panel transmission tunnel. (Refer to 23 - BODY/
INTERIOR/FLOOR CONSOLE - INSTALLATION).
(8) Do not reconnect the battery negative cable at
this time. The supplemental restraint system verifi-
cation test procedure should be performed following
service of any supplemental restraint system compo-
nent. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS -
STANDARD PROCEDURE - VERIFICATION TEST).
