COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR (CTS)
Removal & Installation
Allow engine to cool down. Disconnect CTS wiring harness.
Remove CTS from intake manifold and rapidly plug hole to prevent
coolant loss. Install replacement CTS and connect CTS wiring harness.
FUEL INJECTOR
WARNING: Always relieve residual fuel pressure in fuel delivery
system before opening system. To prevent chance of personal
injury, cover fittings with shop towel while disconnecting
fittings.
Removal
Remove air cleaner assemby. Remove injector wiring
connector. Remove injector retainer screws and clip. Using small
pliers, carefully grasp center collar of injector between electrical
terminals and carefully remove injector with lifting/twisting motion.
Discard both "O" rings. See Fig. 6.
Installation
1) Using light oil, lubricate new upper and lower "O" rings.
Install "O" rings in housing bore. Install back-up ring over upper
"O" ring. Position replacement injector in fuel body.
2) Center nozzle in lower housing bore and use a
pushing/twisting motion to seat injector. Align wire connectors in
proper orientation. Install retainer clip and screws. Connect
injector wiring. Install air cleaner.

Fig. 3: Ignition Control Module Connector Identification
Courtesy of Chrysler Motors.
Terminal "B" of Connector No. 1 is grounded at the engine oil
dipstick bracket along with the ECU ground wire and Oxygen (O2) sensor\
ground.
The tachometer output signal wire of the ICM is connected to
Pin No. 1 of the "D1" Diagnostic connector. The wire is routed to the
diagnostic connector through a short section of the ECU harness, the
engine, and the instrument panel harness. This type of routing
eliminates any potential electrical interference from occurring in the
various ECU circuitry.
Ignition firing signals from ECU terminal "27" are
transmitted through terminal "B" of Connector No. 2 on the ICM. the
ignition signal from the ECU is received by the ICM in the form of a 5
volt square wave. As the leading edge of the wave contacts the
ignition circuitry in the ICM, the ICM charges the coil primary
windings.
When coil saturation occurs, the module circuitry opens the
primary windings to collapse the magnetic field in the windings. This
induces the coil secondary windings which is then transmitted to the
spark plug via the coil wire, distributor cap, and rotor.
MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP) SENSOR
The MAP sensor reacts to absolute pressure in the intake
manifold and provides an input signal to the ECU. As the engine load
changes, manifold pressure varies, which causes the MAP sensor
resistance to change, resulting in a different input voltage to the
ECU. The input voltage level supplies the ECU with information
relating to ambient barometric pressure during engine start-up or
regarding engine load while the engine is running. The ECU calculates
this information and adjusts the air-fuel mixture accordingly.
The MAP sensor is mounted under the hood on the firewall and
is connected to the throttle body with a vacuum hose. See Fig. 4.

If connector locking tabs weaken or break, press together
firmly and bind with electrical tape or a harness tie strap to assure
good connection.

TESTING
BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
This section contains information for determining individual
system component performance. Diagnosis of ECU/Engine Control System
is performed using the DRB-II Diagnostic Tester. See the appropriate
Computerized Engine Control System article in this section.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR (CTS) TEST
1) Disconnect the CTS wire harness connector from the CTS.
See Fig. 13 .

2) Using a high input impedance (digital) volt-ohmmeter, tes\
t
the resistance of the sensor. Resistance should be less than l000 ohms

1988 Switches & Instrument Panels
JEEP
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
Instrument panel is composed of speedometer housing,
tachometer and instrument cluster gauges.
FUEL GAUGE
System consists of a fuel gauge, an in-tank sending unit, and
appropriate wiring. Fuel gauge is grounded through variable resistor
of sending unit. A float attached to a slide rheostat follows fuel
level and varying resistance increases or decreases indicator reading.
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
System consists of gauge and sending unit and appropriate
wiring. The gauge is grounded through variable resistor of sending
unit. Changes in coolant temperature vary resistance in sending unit,
increasing or decreasing indication on gauge.
VOLTMETER
The voltmeter indicates regulated voltage to provide an
indication of charging system's ability to maintain battery charge.
OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
The oil pressure gauge system consists of gauge and a
variable resistance sending unit. Gauge needle, attached to bi-
metallic strip, responds to temperature changes.
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
Removal & Installation
1) Disconnect negative battery cable. On models with cruise
control, reach behind instrument cluster and disconnect speedometer
cable from speed switch. See Fig. 1.
2) On models without cruise control, raise vehicle on hoist.
Disconnect speedometer cable from transfer case (or transmission) and
at frame rail bracket. Move speedometer cable forward and upward to
provide slack. Lower vehicle.
3) On all models, remove instrument panel bezel screws and
bezel. Remove screws attaching cigarette lighter and switch housings
to instrument panel. Move housings aside.
4) Remove screws attaching cluster to instrument panel and
carefully pull cluster and speedometer toward rear of vehicle.
Disconnect wiring harness connectors.
5) Squeeze speedometer cable locking tabs and disconnect
cable from speedometer. See Fig. 1. Remove instrument cluster. To
install, reverse removal procedure.
