GENERAL INFORMATION
MECHANICAL CLUSTER
The mechanical cluster includes a fuel, oil pres-
sure, coolant temperature, and voltmeter gauges. All
incorporate magnetic type gauges. When the ignition
switch is in the OFF position, the gauges will show a
reading; however, the readings are only accurate
when the ignition switch is in the ON position. The mechanical cluster also includes an electric
speedometer, driven by pulses from the vehicle speed
sensor (Fig. 1).
ELECTRONIC CLUSTER
The electronic cluster is easily distinguished from
the mechanical cluster by its digital and linear dis-
play. The electronic cluster includes:
² Oil pressure gauge
² Coolant temperature gauge
² Voltmeter
² Fuel gauge
The electronic cluster receives virtually all of its
information to display from the body controller and
powertrain control module via the Chrysler Collision
Detection (CCD) Serial Data Bus. The odometer
memory is no longer retained in the cluster. This is
now retained in the body controller (Fig. 2).
ELECTRONIC CLUSTER DIMMING
The electronic cluster display is dimmed from day-
time to night time intensity when the headlamp
switch is turned on. This intensity can be controlled
using the headlamp switch rheostat. An additional detent on the headlamp switch rheo-
stat will allow daytime intensity while driving with
headlamps on during the daytime.
WARNING LAMPS
The mechanical instrument cluster will have warn-
ing lamps for six systems. These include brake sys-
tem, air bag, seat belt, low fuel, anti-lock for optional
anti-lock brake system, and malfunction indicator
(check engine) lamp. The cluster also includes check
gages indicator which will illuminate in a warning
situation. This will notify driver to check for a prob-
lem in coolant temperature, oil pressure, or electrical
systems. The electronic cluster will have warning indicator
lamps for eight different systems. These include:
² Air Bag
² Low washer fluid
² Door/deck lid ajar
² Malfunction Indicator (Check engine) Lamp
² Brake system
² Seat belt
² Anti-lock (ABS) for optional anti-lock brake sys-
tem
² Check gages, monitors engine coolant, oil pressure
and electrical charging system failures. In addition, ISO symbol will flash to notify the
driver in event of:
² Low fuel
² High temperature
² Low oil pressure
² Charging system failure

(b) Refer to sending unit removal Group 14, Fuel.
(c) Connect sending unit wire and jumper wire
as described in the test procedure.
(5) If fuel gauge now checks within specifications,
original sending unit is electrically okay, check fol-
lowing as a possible cause: (a) Ground wire from sending unit to left side
cowl for continuity. (b) Sending unit deformed. Make sure sending
unit float arm moves freely and pick up tube is not
bent upwards creating an interference with bottom
of tank and inspect float. (c) Sending unit improperly installed. Install
properly. (d) Mounting flange on fuel tank for sending
unit deformed. Feel for interference fit of sending
unit to bottom of tank. It is permissible to bend
pick up tube down a little near mounting flange to
gain interference fit. (e) Fuel tank bottom deformed, causing improper
positioning of sending unit pick up tube. Replace or
repair tank and recheck sending unit.
GAUGE CALIBRATION
(1) Remove the gauge.
(2) Check for ignition voltage and ground to the
gauge. (3) With the ignition key in the OFF position, re-
place gauge. Turn the ignition key to the ON posi-
tion. To test oil pressure gauge engine must be
running. When testing oil or temperature gauge the
engine should be at normal operating temperature.
Record the gauge position. (4) Remove gauge and record the resistance be-
tween the sending unit pin and the gauge ground
pin. When checking gauges, it is important to have
the same engine temperature and speed when noting
gauge position. The time between gauge reading and
measuring should be kept to a minimum. (5) The resistance Chart (Fig. 21), is general
guidelines for checking the gauge position against
the sending unit resistance. Because of only a few specific points of gauge posi-
tion versus sending unit resistance, a good estimate
is need when the resistance falls between gradua-
tions. Even when the resistance corresponds to grad-
uations, the gauge has a tolerance of 64 ohms.
Volt gauge: The calibration dot on the volt gauge
corresponds to 13 volts between the gauge ignition
and ground pins. If voltage varies from this, estimate
proper gauge position with input voltage.
