turn signal JEEP XJ 1995 Service And User Guide

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 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.
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 high fuel level readings. Low
resistance causes low 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 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
JINSTRUMENT PANEL AND GAUGESÐYJ 8E - 25

voltage is supplied to one side of the indicator bulb. A
ground path for the bulb is provided by 3 switches.
The bulb will light when:
²the brake warning switch is closed (indicating un-
equal brake system hydraulic pressures possibly due
to brake fluid leakage)
²the ignition switch is in the START position (bulb
test)
²the parking brake switch is closed (parking brake
is applied).
Refer to Group 5 - Brakes for more information.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE INDICATOR LAMP
This lamp lights when the transfer case is engaged
in the 4H or 4L position. Voltage is supplied to one
side of the indicator bulb. A switch on the front axle
disconnect housing is connected to the other side of
the indicator bulb. When the switch is closed, a path
to ground is provided and the indicator bulb lights.
HEADLAMP HIGH BEAM INDICATOR LAMP
The high beam indicator lamp is controlled by the
headlamp dimmer switch. One side of the indicator
bulb is grounded at all times. The other side of the
bulb receives battery feed through the contacts of the
dimmer switch when the turn signal switch lever is
actuated to turn the headlamp high beams on. Refer
to Group 8L - Lamps for more information.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP
The CHECK ENGINE or Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) lights each time the ignition switch is
turned ON, and stays on for 3 seconds as a bulb test.
If the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) receives an
incorrect signal or no signal from certain fuel or
emission system related circuits or components, the
lamp is turned on. This will indicate that the PCM
has recorded a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in
electronic memory for a circuit or component mal-
function. Refer to Group 14 - Fuel System for more
information.
SEAT BELT REMINDER LAMP
The seat belt reminder lamp lights for 4 to 8 sec-
onds after the ignition switch is turned to the ON po-sition. A timer in the chime/buzzer module controls
ignition-switched battery feed to the lamp. Refer to
Group 8U - Chime/Buzzer Warning Systems for more
information.
TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR LAMPS
The left and right turn signal indicator lamps are
controlled by the turn signal and hazard warning
switches. One side of the bulb for each lamp is
grounded at all times. The other side of the bulb re-
ceives battery feed through the contacts of the turn
signal switch, when the turn signal lever or hazard
warning button are actuated. Refer to Group 8J -
Turn Signal and Hazard Warning Systems for more
information.
UPSHIFT INDICATOR LAMP
Vehicles equipped with manual transmissions have
an optional upshift indicator lamp. Ground feed for
the lamp is switched by the Powertrain Control Mod-
ule (PCM). The lamp lights to indicate when the
driver should shift to the next highest gear for best
fuel economy. The PCM will turn the lamp off after 3
to 5 seconds if the upshift is not performed. The lamp
will remain off until the vehicle stops accelerating
and is brought back to the range of lamp operation,
or until the transmission is shifted into another gear.
The indicator lamp is normally on when the igni-
tion switch is turned ON and is turned off when the
engine is started. The lamp will be turned on during
vehicle operation according to engine speed and load.
CLUSTER ILLUMINATION LAMPS
All cluster illumination lamps receive battery feed
from the instrument lamps fuse in the fuseblock
module through the panel dimmer switch. When the
park or headlamps are on, the cluster illumination
lamps light. Illumination brightness can be adjusted
by rotating the panel dimmer thumb-wheel, which is
next to the headlamp switch.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the XJ (Cherokee)/YJ (Wrangler)
model turn signal and hazard warning systems. Refer
to Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit
descriptions and diagrams.
TURN SIGNAL SYSTEM
With the ignition switch in the ON or ACCESSORY
position and the turn signal switch lever (YJ) or
multi-function switch control lever (XJ) moved up
(right turn) or down (left turn), the turn signal sys-
tem is activated.
When the turn signal system is activated, the se-
lected (right or left) turn signal indicator lamp, front
park/turn signal lamp and rear tail/stop/turn signal
lamp bulb filaments will flash. With the headlamp
switch in the OFF position, the turn and front side
marker lamps flash in unison. With the headlamp
switch in the ON position, the turn and front side
marker lamps flash alternately.
HAZARD WARNING SYSTEM
The hazard warning is activated by a switch button
located below the ignition lock cylinder (YJ) or on the
top of the steering column (XJ) between the steering
wheel and the instrument panel. The hazard warning
flasher (YJ) or combination flasher (XJ) receives bat-
tery feed at all times, and the system is functional
regardless of ignition switch position. The hazard
warning switch button is identified with a double
triangle. On YJ models, push the switch button in to
activate the hazard warning system and pull the
button out to turn system off. On XJ models, push in
on the switch button to latch the switch and activate
the hazard warning system, and push in on the
switch button again to unlatch the switch and turn
the system off.
When the hazard warning system is activated, all
(right and left) turn signal indicator, front park/turn
signal lamp and rear tail/stop/turn signal lamp bulb
filaments will flash.
TURN SIGNAL FLASHER (YJ ONLY)
The turn signal flasher is located in the fuseblock
module. It contains one fixed contact point and one
contact point attached to a flexible bimetal arm. The
contact points are normally closed. When a turn sig-
nal is activated, current flows through the flasher. As
current flows through the bimetal arm it heats and
flexes to pull the contact points open, stopping cur-
rent flow. As the bimetal arm cools it straightens,
until the contact points close and the cycle repeats.
The standard flasher is designed to handle the cur-
rent flow requirements of the factory installed light-
ing. If supplemental lighting is added to the turn
signal circuits such as when towing a trailer with
lights, the current flow through the flasher increases.
This causes the flash rate to increase. It is recom-
mended that the standard flasher be replaced with a
heavy-duty (hazard warning) flasher when supple-
mental lighting is added.
However, when a turn signal bulb fails with a stan-
dard flasher, the remaining bulbs in that circuit will
light, but not flash. This will give the driver an indi-
cation to check the turn signal bulbs. Because a
heavy-duty flasher has different internal circuitry, a
failed bulb will not prevent the remaining bulbs in
the circuit from flashing. Therefore, it is recom-
mended that an occasional visual inspection of exte-
rior turn signal lamp operation be performed when a
heavy-duty flasher is installed.
HAZARD WARNING FLASHER (YJ ONLY)
The hazard warning flasher is located in the fuse-
block module. The hazard warning flasher contains
two normally open contact points mounted to two
flexible arms. A bimetal strip is attached between the
two arms. When the hazard warning is activated,
current flows through the flasher. As the current
flows through the bimetal strip it heats and pulls the
flexible arms together until the contact points close,
JTURN SIGNAL AND HAZARD WARNING SYSTEMS 8J - 1

allowing current flow to the lamps. As the bimetal
strip cools, the contact points are pushed open and
the cycle repeats.
COMBINATION FLASHER (XJ ONLY)
The combination flasher functions as both the turn
signal and hazard warning flasher on XJ models. The
combination flasher is a smart relay that is located in
the relay center under the lower instrument panel
and inboard of the steering column. The combination
flasher can not be repaired. If faulty, it must be
replaced.
The combination flasher is designed to handle the
current flow requirements of the factory installed
lighting. If supplemental lighting is added to the turn
signal circuits such as when towing a trailer with
lights, the combination flasher will automatically
compensate. This allows the flash rate to remain the
same, regardless of electrical load increases. However,
if a bulb fails in the turn signal or hazard warning
circuits, the flash rate of the remaining bulbs in that
circuit will increase to 120 flashes per minute or
higher.
TURN SIGNAL/HAZARD WARNING SWITCH
(YJ ONLY)
The turn signal and hazard warning switches are
combined into a single unit mounted within the upper
steering column bowl and beneath the steering wheel.
The turn signal lever on the left side of the steering
column is moved up or down to select the right or left
turn signal switch position. The turn signals will only
operate with the ignition switch in the ACCESSORY
or ON position.
The hazard warning button on the right side of the
steering column is pushed in to turn the hazard
warning system on, or pulled out to turn the system
off. The hazard warning system will operate regard-
less of ignition switch position. The turn signal/haz-
ard warning switch can not be repaired. If faulty, the
entire unit must be replaced.
MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH (XJ ONLY)
The multi-function switch assembly (Fig. 1) is
mounted to the left side of the steering column. This
switch contains electrical circuitry for the following
functions:²turn signals
²hazard warning
²headlamp beam selection
²headlamp optical horn
²windshield wipers
²windshield washers.
The information contained in this group addresses
only the switch functions for the turn signal and
hazard warning circuits. For information relative to
other switch functions, refer to the appropriate group.
However, the multi-function switch can not be re-
paired. If any function of the switch is faulty, the
entire switch assembly must be replaced.
TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR LAMPS
These lamps are located in the instrument cluster.
They flash with the exterior turn signal lamps to give
the driver a visual indication that a turn signal or the
hazard warning circuit is operating. For diagnosis
and service of this component, refer to Group 8E -
Instrument Panel and Gauges.
TURN SIGNAL LAMPS
The exterior lamps included in the turn signal and
hazard warning circuits include: the front park/turn
signal, and the rear tail/stop/turn signal. For diagno-
sis and service of these lamps, refer to Group 8L -
Lamps.
