1994 JEEP CHEROKEE fuse

scan tool will be necessary to determine which ABS
component has malfunctioned.
ABS Light Illuminates During Brake Stop
A system fault such as loss of speed sensor signal
or solenoid failure, will cause the amber warning
light to illuminate. The most effective procedure here
is to check for obvious damage first. Then check the
electronic components with the DRB II scan tool.
BRAKE WARNING LIGHT DISPLAY
The red brake warning light and the ABS light op-
erate independently. If the red light remains on after
startup or illuminates during a brake stop, refer to
the standard brake system diagnosis section. Either
the parking brakes are applied, or a wheel brake
malfunction has occurred.
ECU DIAGNOSIS
The ECU controls all phases of antilock system op-
eration. It also differentiates between normal and an-
tilock mode braking.
The ECU monitors and processes the signals gen-
erated from all of the system sensors at all times.
The ECU program includes a self check routine
that tests each of the system components. The self
check occurs during both phases of the initialization
program. A failure of the self check program will
cause the immediate illumination of the amber warn-
ing light. The light will also illuminate if a solenoid
or other system component fails during the dynamic
phase of initialization.
If a system malfunction should occur, do not imme-
diately replace the ECU. A blown system fuse, bad
chassis ground, or loss of feed voltage will each cause
a system malfunction similar to an ECU failure.
Never replace the ECU unless diagnosis with the
DRB II scan tool indicates this is necessary.
HCU DIAGNOSIS
The HCU pump and motor and solenoid valve body
are serviced only as an assembly. The HCU assembly
should not be replaced unless a fault has actually
been confirmed. Verify fault conditions with the DRB
II scan tool before proceeding with repair.

IGNITION OFF DRAW (IOD) DIAGNOSIS
GENERAL INFORMATION
Ignition off draw refers to power being drained
from the battery with the ignition switch turned off.
A normal vehicle electrical system will draw from 5
to 20 milliamps. This is with the ignition switch in
the OFF position, and all non-ignition controlled cir-
cuits in proper working order. A vehicle that has not
been operated for approximately 20 days, may dis-
charge the battery to an inadequate level. Battery
drain should not exceed approximately 20 MA (20
milliamps = 0.020 amps).
The 20 MA are needed to supply PCM memory,
digital clock memory, and ETR (electronically tuned
radio) memory.
Excessive battery drain is caused by items left
turned on, internally shorted generator, or intermit-
tent short in wiring.
If the IOD is over 20 milliamperes, the defect must
be found and corrected before replacing a battery. In
most cases the battery can be charged and returned
to service.
When a vehicle will not be used for 20 days or
more (stored), remove IOD fuse in the Power Distri-
bution Center to reduce battery discharging.
TEST PROCEDURE
Testing for higher amperage IOD must be per-
formed first to prevent damage to most milliamp
meters.
(1) Verify that all electrical accessories are OFF.
Turn off all lamps, remove ignition key, and close all
doors. If the vehicle is equipped with electronic acces-
sories (illuminated entry, high line radio), allow the
systems to automatically shut off (time out), up to 3
minutes.
(2) Determine that the underhood lamp is operat-
ing properly, then disconnect or remove bulb.
(3) Disconnect negative cable from battery.
(4) Connect a typical 12-volt test lamp (low watt-
age bulb) between the negative cable clamp and the
battery negative terminal. If equipped with security
alarm, cycle the key in the door to turn off the flash-ing lights. Make sure that the doors remain closed so
that illuminated entry is not activated.
The test lamp may light brightly for up to 3 min-
utes or may not light at all (depending on the elec-
trical equipment). The term brightly being used
throughout the following tests, implies the bright-
ness of the test lamp will be the same as if it were
connected across the battery.
The test lamp must be securely clamped to the neg-
ative cable and battery terminal. If the test lamp be-
comes disconnected during any part of the IOD test,
the electronic timer function will be activated and all
tests must be repeated.
If the ammeter circuit is broken the Security
Alarm Module will turn on parking lamps.
(5) After 3 minutes, the test lamp should turn OFF
or be DIMLY lit (depending on the electrical equip-
ment). If the test lamp remains brightly lit do not
disconnect it. Remove each fuse or circuit breaker
(refer to Group 8 - Wiring Diagrams) until test lamp
is either OFF or DIMLY lit. This will eliminate the
higher amperage draw.
If test lamp is still bright after disconnecting each
fuse and circuit breaker, disconnect the wiring har-
ness from the generator. Refer to Generator Test Pro-
cedures in this group. Do not disconnect the test
lamp.
After higher amperage IOD has been corrected, low
amperage IOD may be checked.
It is now safe to install milliamp meter to check for
low amperage IOD.
(6) With test lamp still connected securely, clamp
an ammeter between battery negative terminal and
negative battery cable.
Do not open any doors or turn on any electri-
cal accessories with the test lamp disconnected
or the meter may be damaged.
(7) Disconnect test lamp. The current draw should
not exceed 0.020 amp. If it exceeds 0.020 milliamps,
isolate each circuit by removing circuit breakers and
fuses. The meter reading drops once the high current
problem is found. Repair this section of the circuit,
whether it is a wiring short or component failure.
BATTERY CLASSIFICATIONS AND RATINGSTORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
8A - 8 BATTERY/STARTING/CHARGING SYSTEMS DIAGNOSTICSJ

OPERATIONAL CHECK WITH VOLTMETER
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON po-
sition, battery potential will register on the voltme-
ter. During engine cranking a lower voltage will
appear on the meter. With the engine running, a
voltage reading higher than the first reading (igni-
tion in ON) should register.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
If the indicator operates abnormally, or if an un-
dercharged or overcharged battery condition occurs,
the following procedures may be used to diagnose the
charging system.
Remember that an undercharged battery is often
caused by:
²accessories being left on overnight
²or by a defective switch which allows a bulb, such
as a liftgate or glove box light, to stay on (refer to
Ignition Off Draw Diagnosis).
VISUAL INSPECTION
²Inspect condition of battery cable terminals, bat-
tery posts, connections at engine block, starter motor
solenoid and relay. They should be clean and tight.
Repair as required.
²Inspect all fuses in the fuse block for tightness in
receptacles. They should be properly installed and
tight. Repair or replace as required.²Inspect the electrolyte level in the battery and add
water if necessary.
²Inspect generator mounting bolts for tightness. Re-
place or torque bolt as required. Refer to Torque
Specifications in Battery/Starter/Generator Service.
²Inspect generator drive belt condition and tension.
Tension or replace belt as required. Refer to Belt
Tension Specifications in Battery/Starter/Generator
Service.
²Inspect connection at generator B+ output. It
should be clean and tight. Repair as required.
GENERATOR OUTPUT WIRE RESISTANCE
TEST
Generator output wire resistance test will show
amount of voltage drop across generator output wire
between generator battery terminal and battery pos-
itive post.
PREPARATION
(1) Before starting test make sure vehicle has a
fully charged battery. Test and procedures on how to
check for a fully charged battery are shown in Bat-
tery Test Procedures.
(2) Turn OFF ignition switch.
(3) Disconnect negative cable from battery.
(4) Disconnect generator output wire from genera-
tor output battery terminal.

With the ignition switch in the ON or START posi-
tion, voltage supplied to the instrument cluster is lim-
ited by fuse #17. The voltage is supplied to all the
gauges and indicator lamps through the instrument
cluster printed circuit.
With the ignition switch in the OFF position, volt-
age is not supplied to the instrument cluster and the
gauges do not indicate any vehicle condition.
VOLTMETER
The voltmeter measures battery or generator out-
put voltage, whichever is greater.
OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
The oil pressure gauge pointer position is controlled
by a magnetic field created by electrical current flow
through the coils within the gauge. A change in current
flow will change the magnetic field which changes the
pointer position. The oil pressure sender is a variable
resistor that changes electrical resistance with a change
in oil pressure (values shown in Specifications chart).
OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR LAMP
Voltage is supplied to one side of the indicator bulb
and the oil pressure switch is connected to the other
side. When oil pressure is too low the switch closes
providing a path to ground, and the indicator bulb
lights.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The coolant temperature gauge pointer position is
controlled by a magnetic field created by electrical
current flow through the coils within the gauge. A
change in current flow will change the magnetic field
which changes the pointer position. The coolant tem-
perature sensor is a thermistor that changes electri-
cal resistance with a change in coolant temperature
(values shown in Specifications chart).
COOLANT TEMPERATURE INDICATOR LAMP
Voltage is supplied to one side of the indicator bulb
and the coolant temperature switch is connected to the

Pulling the headlamp switch to ON energizes the
radio illumination relay. This closes the normally
open contacts of the relay, and the brightness for the
radio display is controlled by the headlamp switch
rheostat. The back-lighting for the radio is also con-
trolled by the headlamp rheostat through radio con-
nector terminal 10.

SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER SYSTEM
The speedometer/odometer system consists of an
electric speedometer and pushbutton reset odometer
mounted in the cluster. The system also includes the
wire harness from the cluster to the vehicle speed
sensor at the transmission, and the adapter and pin-
ion in the transmission. A signal is sent from a
transmission mounted vehicle speed sensor to the
speedometer/odometer circuitry through the wiring
harness. Refer to Group 21 - Transmission for select-
ing the proper pinion, and selecting and indexing the
proper adapter.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer displays the engine speed (RPM).
With the engine running, the tachometer receives anengine speed signal from the Powertrain Control
Module pin 43 (values shown in Specifications chart).
INDICATOR LAMPS
The Brake, Upshift (2.5L with 5 speed transmis-
sion except California), and Malfunction Indicator
(Check Engine) lamps are located in the indicator
lamp panel above the steering column. The lamps
share a common battery feed connection through the
ignition switch and fuse #9.

DIAGNOSINGÐALL LAMPS OUT
(1) Inspect fuse #9. Replace as required.
(2) Measure voltage at instrument cluster connec-
tor terminal 20. Meter should read zero ohms. If not,
repair open to ground.
UPSHIFT INDICATOR LAMP
Vehicles equipped with manual transmissions have
an optional upshift indicator lamp. The lamp is con-
trolled by the 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 shifted
into another gear.
The indicator lamp is normally illuminated when
the ignition switch is turned ON and it is turned off
when the engine is started. The lamp will be lighted
during engine operation according to engine speed
and load.
(1) Turn ignition switch to ON.
(2) Ground pin 2 of cluster connector. Lamp should
light. If not, replace bulb. If OK, continue with step 3.
(3) Turn ignition switch to OFF. Check for conti-
nuity between cluster connector pin 2 and pin 54 of
the PCM. If not, repair open. If OK, refer to DRB
scan tool actuator test of upshift indicator.
BRAKE INDICATOR LAMP
The brake indicator is a dual function lamp. It will in-
dicate an unequal pressure condition in the split brake
hydraulic system and it also will indicate when the park-
ing brake is engaged. Separate switches are used for each
indicator lamp function. A switch mounted on the brake
pedal assembly will close a ground circuit whenever the
parking brakes are applied. A second switch is installed
in the brake hydraulic lines near the master cylinder. If
the switch is balanced by equal pressure on both ends of
the switch valve, the valve remains centered and the
lamp remains off. If the valve is shifted by unequal pres-
sure between the front or rear brake hydraulic systems,
the lamp circuit is connected to ground. To make sure
the brake lamp is functional before the vehicle is driven,
it is illuminated through a ground circuit when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the START position.
(1) Turn ignition switch to ON.
(2) Ground pin 1 of the cluster connector. Lamp
should light. If not, replace bulb. If OK, continue
with step 3.
(3) Turn ignition switch to OFF. Check for continuity to
park brake switch and brake warning switch.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (CHECK ENGINE)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (Check Engine) il-
luminates each time the ignition switch is turned
ON and stays on for 3 seconds as a bulb test.If the PCM receives an incorrect signal or no signal
from certain sensors or emission related systems the
lamp is turned on (pin 32 of PCM). This is a warning
that the PCM has recorded a system or sensor mal-
function. In some cases when a diagnostic fault is de-
clared the PCM will go into a limp-in mode in an
attempt to keep the system operating. It signals an
immediate need for service.
The lamp also can be used to display diagnostic
trouble codes (DTC). Cycle the ignition switch ON,
OFF, ON, OFF, ON within 5 seconds. This will allow
any DTC's stored in the PCM memory to be dis-
played in a series of flashes representing digits.
(1) Turn ignition switch to ON.
(2) Ground pin 4 of cluster connector. Lamp should
light. If not, replace bulb. If OK, continue with step 3.
(3) Turn ignition switch to OFF. Check for conti-
nuity between cluster connector pin 4 and PCM cav-
ity 32. If OK, replace PCM. If not, repair open.
SEAT BELT REMINDER LAMP
Apply 12 volts to terminal 16 of cluster connector.
Lamp should light. If not, replace bulb. If OK, check
wiring for an open to buzzer module. Refer to Group
8U - Chime/Buzzer Warning Systems.
INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATION LAMPS
The instrument panel illumination lamps share
two common connections. There is a splice after fuse
#10 that connects the lamps to battery feed. There is
also a splice that connects all lamps to ground. Be-
cause they share these common connection points in
a parallel circuit, the illumination lamps will all
come on at the same time. It also means one or more
lamps can be out without affecting the operation of
the other lamps.
On the battery side of the circuit, the headlamp
switch illumination rheostat/switch and panel lamps
fuse receive battery feed in series from the park/tail
fuse. In the park lamp position, the headlamp switch
completes the circuit from the park/tail fuse to the il-
lumination rheostat/switch and panel lamps fuse.
The illumination rheostat contains a variable resis-
tor that allows the driver to vary illumination inten-
sity from off to full brightness.
DIAGNOSIS
(1) Turn parking lamps ON.
(2) Check fuse #10. Replace as required.
(3) Measure voltage at battery side of fuse #10
with rheostat turned counterclockwise to clockwise
(LO to HI). Meter should read zero volts to battery
voltage. If not, replace headlamp switch.
(4) Measure resistance at ground side of fuse #10
with parking lamps OFF. Meter should read almost
zero ohms (except bulb filament). If not, repair open
to ground. If zero ohms, 12 volt supply wire from fuse
is shorted to ground, repair short.
