economy, and/or trip odometer data has been reset.
The CMTC uses internal programming, hard wired
inputs from the U.S./Metric and Reset switches, and
electronic messages received from the Body Control
Module (BCM) to determine the proper reset mes-
sages to send to the EMIC.
²Door Ajar Warning- The EMIC chime tone
generator will generate a single ªbong-likeº chime
tone when the ignition switch is in the On position,
and electronic messages are received over the PCI
data bus from the Body Control Module (BCM) indi-
cating that the status of any door ajar input has
changed from closed to not closed, and from the PCM
indicating that the vehicle is moving. The BCM uses
internal programming, and hard wired inputs from
the door ajar switches and the ignition switch to
determine the proper door ajar switch messages to
send to the EMIC. The PCM uses internal program-
ming and a hard wired vehicle speed pulse input
received from the BCM to determine the proper vehi-
cle distance messages to send to the EMIC.
²Electrical System Voltage Low or High
Warning- Each time the ignition switch is turned to
the On position, the EMIC chime tone generator will
generate a single ªbong-likeº chime tone the first
time an electronic message is received over the PCI
data bus from the PCM requesting ªChargingº indi-
cator illumination. This warning would indicate that
the monitored electrical system voltage is either too
low or too high. This warning will only occur once
during an ignition cycle. The PCM uses internal pro-
gramming and hard wired inputs from the electrical
and charging systems to determine the proper
ªChargingº indicator messages to send to the EMIC.
²Engine Coolant Temperature High Warning
- Each time the ignition switch is turned to the On
position, the EMIC chime tone generator will gener-
ate ªbong-likeº chime tones the first time an elec-
tronic message is received over the PCI data bus
from the PCM indicating that the engine coolant
temperature is too high. This chime will sound for
five consecutive single tones, unless an electronic
message is received from the PCM indicating that
the engine coolant temperature is not too high, or
unless the ignition switch is turned to the Off posi-
tion before the five single tones have completed. The
PCM uses internal programming and a hard wired
input from the engine coolant temperature sensor to
determine the proper engine coolant temperature
messages to send to the EMIC.
²Engine Oil Pressure Low Warning- Each
time the ignition switch is turned to the On position,
the EMIC chime tone generator will generate a sin-
gle ªbong-likeº chime tone the first time three
sequential sets of electronic messages are received
over the PCI data bus from the PCM indicating thatthe engine oil pressure is too low with the engine
running. The PCM uses internal programming and
hard wired inputs from the oil pressure sensor and
the crankshaft position sensor to determine the
proper oil pressure and engine speed messages to
send to the EMIC.
²Fasten Seat Belt Warning- Each time the
ignition switch is turned to the On position, the
EMIC chime tone generator will generate repetitive
ªbong-likeº chime tones at a slow rate the first time
an electronic message is received over the PCI data
bus from the ACM requesting ªSeatbeltº indicator
illumination. The ACM uses internal programming
and hard wired inputs from the driver side front seat
belt switch and the ignition switch to determine that
the driver side front seat belt is not fastened with
the ignition switch in the On position. These chimes
will continue to sound for a duration of about six sec-
onds each time the ignition switch is turned to the
On position, or until the driver side front seat belt is
fastened, whichever occurs first. This audible warn-
ing occurs independent of the visual warning pro-
vided by the EMIC ªSeatbeltº indicator.
²Gate Ajar Warning- The EMIC chime tone
generator will generate a single ªbong-likeº chime
tone when the ignition switch is in the On position,
and electronic messages are received over the PCI
data bus from the BCM indicating that the status of
the tailgate ajar input has changed from closed to
not closed, and from the PCM indicating that the
vehicle is moving. The BCM uses internal program-
ming, and hard wired inputs from the tailgate ajar
switch and the ignition switch to determine the
proper tailgate ajar switch messages to send to the
EMIC. The PCM uses internal programming and a
hard wired vehicle speed pulse input received from
the BCM to determine the proper vehicle distance
messages to send to the EMIC.
²Glass Ajar Warning- The EMIC chime tone
generator will generate a single ªbong-likeº chime
tone when the ignition switch is in the On position,
and electronic messages are received over the PCI
data bus from the BCM indicating that the status of
the rear flip-up glass ajar input has changed from
closed to not closed, and from the PCM indicating
that the vehicle is moving. The BCM uses internal
programming, and hard wired inputs from the flip-up
glass ajar switch and the ignition switch to deter-
mine the proper flip-up glass ajar switch messages to
send to the EMIC. The PCM uses internal program-
ming and a hard wired vehicle speed pulse input
received from the BCM to determine the proper vehi-
cle distance messages to send to the EMIC.
²Head/Park/Fog Lights-On Warning- The
EMIC chime tone generator will generate repetitive
ªbong-likeº chime tones at a fast rate when the igni-

BODY CONTROL MODULE
DESCRIPTION
A Body Control Module (BCM) is concealed behind
the driver side end of the instrument panel in the
passenger compartment, where it is secured to the
fuse panel side of the Junction Block (JB) with four
screws (Fig. 1). The JB is the interface between the
body, the instrument panel, and the headlamp and
dash wire harnesses. The JB also contains the fuses
and relays used for the interior electrical system of
the vehicle. The BCM is enclosed in a molded plastic
housing with two integral external connector recepta-
cles that connect it to the vehicle electrical system
through two take outs with connectors from the
instrument panel wire harness (Fig. 2). The BCM
also has an integral interface connector concealed on
the back side of the unit that joins it through a con-
nector receptacle that is integral to the JB housing to
the circuitry within the JB. This connector is referred
to as the JB-BCM connector. The combined BCM and
JB are sometimes referred to as the Junction Block
Module (JBM).

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
DESCRIPTION
The instrument cluster for this model is an Elec-
troMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) module
that is located in the instrument panel above the
steering column opening, directly in front of the
driver (Fig. 1). The remainder of the EMIC, including
the mounts and the electrical connections, are con-
cealed behind the cluster bezel. The EMIC gauges
and indicators are protected by an integral clear
plastic cluster lens, and are visible through a dedi-
cated opening in the cluster bezel on the instrument
panel. Just behind the cluster lens is the cluster hood
and an integral cluster mask, which are constructed
of molded black plastic. Two cluster masks are used;
a base black version is used on base models, while a
premium black version features a chrome trim ring
around the perimeter of each gauge opening is used
on premium models. The cluster hood serves as a
visor and shields the face of the cluster from ambient
light and reflections to reduce glare, while the cluster
mask serves to separate and define the individual
gauges and indicators of the EMIC. On the lower
edge of the cluster lens just right of the speedometer,
the black plastic odometer/trip odometer switch but-
ton protrudes through dedicated holes in the clustermask and the cluster lens. The molded plastic EMIC
lens, hood and mask unit has three integral mount-
ing tabs, one each on the lower outboard corners of
the unit and one on the upper surface of the hood
near the center. These mounting tabs are used to
secure the EMIC to the molded plastic instrument
panel cluster carrier with two screws at the top, and
one screw at each outboard tab. A single molded con-
nector receptacle located on the EMIC electronic cir-
cuit board is accessed from the back of the cluster
housing and is connected to the vehicle electrical sys-
tem through a single dedicated take out and connec-
tor of the instrument panel wire harness.
Behind the cluster lens, hood, and mask unit is the
cluster overlay and gauges. The overlay is a lami-
nated plastic unit. The dark, visible, outer surface of
the overlay is marked with all of the gauge dial faces
and graduations, but this layer is also translucent.
The darkness of this outer layer prevents the cluster
from appearing cluttered or busy by concealing the
cluster indicators that are not illuminated, while the
translucence of this layer allows those indicators and
icons that are illuminated to be readily visible. The
underlying layer of the overlay is opaque and allows
light from the various indicators and illumination
lamps behind it to be visible through the outer layer
of the overlay only through predetermined cutouts.
The orange gauge pointers are each illuminated
internally. The EMIC electronic circuitry is protected
by a molded plastic rear cover that features several
round access holes for service of the cluster illumina-
tion lighting and a single rectangular access hole for
the EMIC connector receptacle. The EMIC housing,
circuit board, gauges, and overlay unit are sand-
wiched between the lens, hood, and mask unit and
the rear cover with screws.
Twelve versions of the EMIC module are offered on
this model, six base and six premium. These versions
accommodate all of the variations of optional equip-
ment and regulatory requirements for the various
markets in which the vehicle will be offered. This
module utilizes integrated circuitry and information
carried on the Programmable Communications Inter-
face (PCI) data bus network for control of all gauges
and many of the indicators. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/COM-
MUNICATION - DESCRIPTION - PCI BUS). The
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, as well as several warning
messages and certain diagnostic information. In addi-
tion to instrumentation and indicators, the EMIC has
the hardware and software needed to provide the fol-
lowing features:
²Chime Warning Service- A chime tone gener-
ator on the EMIC electronic circuit board provides
audible alerts to the vehicle operator and eliminates
the need for a separate chime module. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/CHIME WARNING SYSTEM -
DESCRIPTION).
²Panel Lamps Dimming Service- The EMIC
provides a hard wired 12-volt Pulse-Width Modulated
(PWM) output that synchronizes the dimming level
of the radio display, gear selector indicator, heater-air
conditioner control, and all other dimmable lighting
on the panel lamps dimmer circuit with that of the
cluster illumination lamps and VFD.
The EMIC houses four analog gauges and has pro-
visions for up to twenty-four indicators (Fig. 2). The
EMIC includes the following analog gauges:
²Coolant Temperature Gauge
²Fuel Gauge
²Speedometer
²Tachometer
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 Airbag System only)
²Antilock Brake System (ABS) Indicator
(with ABS only)
²Brake Indicator
²Charging Indicator
²Coolant Low Indicator (with Diesel Engine
only)
²Cruise Indicator (with Speed Control Sys-
tem only)
²Four-Wheel Drive Full Time Indicator (with
Selec-Trac Transfer Case only)
²Four-Wheel Drive Low Mode Indicator
²Four-Wheel Drive Part Time Indicator
²Front Fog Lamp Indicator (with Front Fog
Lamps only)
²High Beam Indicator
²Low Fuel Indicator²Low Oil Pressure Indicator
²Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
²Overdrive-Off Indicator (with Automatic
Transmission only)
²Rear Fog Lamp Indicator (with Rear Fog
Lamps only)
²Seatbelt Indicator
²Security Indicator (with Vehicle Theft
Security System only)
²Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS)
Indicator (with SKIS only)
²Transmission Overtemp Indicator (with
Automatic Transmission only)
²Turn Signal (Right and Left) Indicators
²Wait-To-Start Indicator (with Diesel Engine
only)
²Water-In-Fuel Indicator (with Diesel Engine
only)
Each indicator in the EMIC is 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. Cluster illumination is accomplished by
dimmable incandescent back lighting, which illumi-
nates the gauges for visibility when the exterior
lighting is turned on. Each of the incandescent bulbs
is secured by an integral 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, 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.

OPERATION
The ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
is designed to allow the vehicle operator to monitor
the conditions of many of the vehicle components and
operating systems. The gauges and indicators in the
EMIC provide valuable information about the various
standard and optional powertrains, fuel and emis-
sions systems, cooling systems, lighting systems,
safety systems and many other convenience items.
The EMIC is installed in the instrument panel so
that all of these monitors can be easily viewed by the
vehicle operator when driving, while still allowing
relative ease of access for service. The microproces-sor-based EMIC hardware and software uses various
inputs to control the gauges and indicators visible on
the face of the cluster. Some of these inputs are hard
wired, but most are in the form of electronic mes-
sages that are transmitted by other electronic mod-
ules over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus network. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/COMMUNICATION - OPERATION).
The EMIC microprocessor smooths the input data
using algorithms to provide gauge readings that are
accurate, stable and responsive to operating condi-
tions. These algorithms are designed to provide

gauge readings during normal operation that are con-
sistent with customer expectations. However, when
abnormal conditions exist such as high coolant tem-
perature, the algorithm can drive the gauge pointer
to an extreme position and the microprocessor can
sound a chime through the on-board chime tone gen-
erator to provide distinct visual and audible indica-
tions of a problem to the vehicle operator. The
instrument cluster circuitry may also perform chime
service for other electronic modules in the vehicle
based upon electronic chime tone request messages
received over the PCI data bus to provide the vehicle
operator with an audible alert to supplement a visual
indication. One such alert is a door ajar warning
chime, which the EMIC provides by monitoring PCI
bus messages from the Body Control Module (BCM).
The EMIC circuitry operates on battery current
received through a fused B(+) fuse in the Junction
Block (JB) on a non-switched fused B(+) circuit, and
on battery current received through a fused ignition
switch output (run-start) fuse in the JB on a fused
ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. This
arrangement allows the EMIC to provide some fea-
tures regardless of the ignition switch position, while
other features will operate only with the ignition
switch in the On or Start positions. The EMIC
receives a ground input from the BCM as a wake-up
signal in order to provide the ignition-off features.
The EMIC circuitry is grounded through a ground
circuit and take out of the instrument panel wire
harness with an eyelet terminal connector that is
secured by a nut to a ground stud located on the left
instrument panel end bracket.
The EMIC also has a self-diagnostic actuator test
capability, which will test each of the PCI bus mes-
sage-controlled functions of the cluster by lighting
the appropriate indicators (except the airbag indica-
tor), sweeping the gauge needles to several calibra-
tion points across the gauge faces, and stepping the
odometer display sequentially from all ones through
all nines. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). See the
owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for more
information on the features, use and operation of the
EMIC.
GAUGES All gauges receive battery current
through the EMIC circuitry when the ignition switch
is in the On or Start positions. With the ignition
switch in the Off position battery current is not sup-
plied to any gauges, and the EMIC circuitry is pro-
grammed to move all of the gauge needles back to
the low end of their respective scales. Therefore, the
gauges do not accurately indicate any vehicle condi-
tion unless the ignition switch is in the On or Start
positions. All of the EMIC gauges, except the odome-
ter, are air core magnetic units. Two fixed electro-magnetic coils are located within each gauge. These
coils are wrapped at right angles to each other
around a movable permanent magnet. The movable
magnet is suspended within the coils on one end of a
pivot shaft, while the gauge needle 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 is changed by the EMIC circuitry in
response to messages received over the PCI data bus.
The gauge needle moves as the movable permanent
magnet aligns itself to the changing magnetic fields
created around it by the electromagnets.
The gauges are diagnosed using the EMIC self-di-
agnostic actuator test. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING). Proper testing of the PCI data bus and
the electronic data bus message inputs to the EMIC
that control each gauge require the use of a DRBIIIt
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic infor-
mation. Specific operation details for each gauge may
be found elsewhere in this service information.
VACUUM-FLUORESCENT DISPLAY The Vacu-
um-Fluorescent Display (VFD) module is soldered to
the EMIC circuit board. The display is active when
the driver door is opened with the ignition switch in
the Off or Accessory positions (Rental Car mode), and
with the ignition switch in the On or Start positions.
The VFD is inactive when the ignition switch is in
the Off or Accessory positions and the driver door is
closed. The illumination intensity of the VFD is con-
trolled by the EMIC circuitry based upon electronic
dimming level messages received from the BCM over
the PCI data bus, and is synchronized with the illu-
mination intensity of other VFDs in the vehicle. The
BCM provides dimming level messages based upon
internal programming and inputs it receives from the
control knob and control ring on the left (lighting)
control stalk of the multi-function switch on the
steering column.
The VFD has several display capabilities including
odometer, trip odometer, and warning messages
whenever the appropriate conditions exist. The VFD
warning messages include:
²ªdoorº- indicating a door is ajar.
²ªgateº- indicating the tailgate is ajar.
²ªglassº- indicating the tailgate glass is ajar.
²ªlowashº- indicating that the washer fluid
level is low.
²ªno busº- indicating there is no PCI data bus
communication detected.
An odometer/trip odometer switch on the EMIC cir-
cuit board is used to control the display modes. This
switch is actuated manually by depressing the odom-
KJINSTRUMENT CLUSTER 8J - 5
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (Continued)
Page 409 of 1803
eter/trip odometer switch button that extends
through the lower edge of the cluster lens, just right
of the speedometer. Actuating this switch momen-
tarily with the ignition switch in the On position will
toggle the VFD between the odometer and trip odom-
eter modes. Depressing the switch button for about
two seconds while the VFD is in the trip odometer
mode will reset the trip odometer value to zero. Hold-
ing this switch depressed while turning the ignition
switch from the Off position to the On position will
initiate the EMIC self-diagnostic actuator test. The
VFD will also display the cluster software version
level near the completion of the EMIC self-diagnostic
actuator test. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information for additional details on this VFD func-
tion.
The VFD is diagnosed using the EMIC self-diag-
nostic actuator test. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/IN-
STRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING). Proper testing of the PCI data bus and
the electronic data bus message inputs to the EMIC
that control some of the VFD functions requires the
use of a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information. Specific operation details for
the odometer, the trip odometer, and the various
warning message functions of the VFD may be found
elsewhere in this service information.
INDICATORS Indicators are located in various
positions within the EMIC and are all connected to
the EMIC circuit board. The turn signal indicators,
security indicator, washer fluid indicator, and coolant
low indicator (diesel engine only) use hard wired
inputs to the EMIC. The brake indicator is controlled
by PCI data bus messages from the Controller
Antilock Brake (CAB) as well as by hard wired park
brake switch and brake fluid level switch inputs to
the EMIC. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is
normally controlled by PCI data bus messages from
the Powertrain Control Module (PCM); however, if
the EMIC loses PCI data bus communication, the
EMIC circuitry will automatically turn the MIL on
until PCI data bus communication is restored. The
EMIC uses PCI data bus messages from the Body
Control Module (BCM), the PCM, the Airbag Control
Module (ACM), and the CAB to control all of the
remaining indicators.
The various indicators are controlled by different
strategies; some receive fused ignition switch output
from the EMIC circuitry and have a switched ground,
others are grounded through the EMIC circuitry and
have a switched battery feed, while still others are
completely controlled by the EMIC microprocessor
based upon various hard wired and electronic mes-
sage inputs. Some indicators are illuminated at a
fixed intensity, while the illumination intensity ofothers is synchronized with that of the EMIC general
illumination lamps.
In addition, certain indicators in this instrument
cluster are automatically configured or self-config-
ured. This feature allows the configurable indicators
to be enabled by the EMIC circuitry for compatibility
with certain optional equipment. The ABS indicator,
airbag indicator, SKIS indicator are automatically
configured by PCI data bus messages received by the
EMIC from the CAB, ACM, or Sentry Key Immobi-
lizer Module (SKIM) after the EMIC is installed in
the vehicle. Once these configuration settings are
learned by the EMIC, the DRBIIItscan tool must be
used to remove these settings from the EMIC non-
volatile memory. The self-configured indicators
remain latent in each EMIC at all times and will be
activated only when the EMIC receives the appropri-
ate PCI message inputs for the optional system or
equipment.
The hard wired indicators are diagnosed using con-
ventional diagnostic methods. The EMIC and PCI
bus message controlled indicators are diagnosed
using the EMIC self-diagnostic actuator test. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). Proper testing of the
PCI data bus and the electronic data bus message
inputs to the EMIC that control each indicator
require the use of a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information. Specific details of
the operation for each indicator may be found else-
where in this service information.
CLUSTER ILLUMINATION The EMIC has several
illumination lamps that are illuminated when the
exterior lighting is turned on with the headlamp
(multi-function) switch. The illumination intensity of
these lamps is adjusted by a 12-volt Pulse Width
Modulated (PWM) output of the EMIC when the
interior lighting control ring on the left control stalk
of the multi-function switch is rotated (down to dim,
up to brighten) to one of six available minor detent
positions. The BCM provides electronic dimming
level messages based upon internal programming
and inputs it receives from the control knob and con-
trol ring on the left (lighting) control stalk of the
multi-function switch on the steering column, then
provides a control output to energize or de-energize
the park lamp relay as appropriate. The energized
park lamp relay provides battery current to the
EMIC on the hard wired fused park lamp relay out-
put circuit, and the BCM provides the electronic dim-
ming level message to the EMIC over the PCI data
bus. The EMIC electronic circuitry provides the
proper PWM output to the cluster illumination lamps
and the VFD on the EMIC circuit board, then pro-
vides a synchronized PWM output on the hard wired

The instrument cluster actuator test will put the
instrument cluster into its self-diagnostic mode. In
this mode the instrument cluster can perform a self-
diagnostic test that will confirm that the instrument
cluster circuitry, the gauges, the PCI data bus mes-
sage controlled indicator lamps, and the chime tone
generator are capable of operating as designed. Dur-
ing the actuator test the instrument cluster circuitry
will sound the chime tone generator, position each of
the gauge needles at various specified calibration
points, illuminate each of the segments in the Vacu-um-Fluorescent Display (VFD), and turn all of the
PCI data bus message-controlled indicators on and
off again.
Successful completion of the actuator test will con-
firm that the instrument cluster is operational. How-
ever, there may still be a problem with the PCI data
bus, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the Air-
bag Control Module (ACM), the Sentry Key Immobi-
lizer Module (SKIM), or the inputs to one of these
electronic control modules. Use a DRBIIItscan tool
to diagnose these components. Refer to the appropri-
ate diagnostic information.
(1) Begin the test with the ignition switch in the
Off position.
(2) Depress the odometer/trip odometer switch but-
ton.
(3) While still holding the odometer/trip odometer
switch button depressed, turn the ignition switch to
the On position, but do not start the engine.
(4) Release the odometer/trip odometer switch but-
ton.
(5) The instrument cluster will automatically
begin the actuator test sequence, as follows:
(a) The cluster will turn on, then off again each
of the PCI data bus message controlled indicators
to confirm the functionality of the indicator and
the cluster control circuitry:
(b) The cluster will sweep the needles for each of
the gauges to several calibration points in sequence
to confirm the functionality of the gauge and the
cluster control circuitry:
(c) The cluster will sequentially step the odome-
ter/trip odometer VFD display from all ones
( 111111 )through all nines (999999) to confirm the
functionality of all VFD segments and their control
circuitry, then display the software version number.
(d) The cluster will generate five (5) chime tones
to confirm the functionality of the chime tone gen-
erator and the chime control circuitry.
(6) The actuator test is now completed. The instru-
ment cluster will automatically exit the self-diagnos-
tic mode and return to normal operation at the
completion of the test, if the ignition switch is turned
to the Off position during the test, or if an engine
rpm message indicating that the engine is running is
received from the PCM over the PCI data bus during
the test.
(7) Go back to Step 1 to repeat the test, if
required.

ABS INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
An Antilock Brake System (ABS) indicator is stan-
dard equipment on all instrument clusters. However,
the instrument cluster is programmed to automati-
cally enable this indicator only on vehicles equipped
with the optional antilock brake system. The ABS
indicator is located above the engine temperature
gauge and to the right of the speedometer in the
instrument cluster. The ABS indicator consists of a
stencil-like cutout of the International Control and
Display Symbol icon for ªFailure of Anti-lock Braking
Systemº in the opaque layer of the instrument clus-
ter overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay pre-
vents the indicator from being clearly visible when it
is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode
(LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the icon to appear in amber through
the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is
illuminated from behind by the LED, which is sol-
dered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board. The ABS indicator is serviced as a unit with
the instrument cluster.
OPERATION
The ABS indicator gives an indication to the vehi-
cle operator when the ABS system is faulty or inop-
erative. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on
the instrument cluster circuit board based upon clus-
ter programming and electronic messages received by
the cluster from the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB)
over the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus. The ABS indicator Light Emitting
Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instru-
ment 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 LED will always be off when the ignition switch
is in any position except On or Start. The LED only
