DESCRIPTION
The overhead console includes:
²a compass/temperature display
²reading and courtesy lights for the front and rear
seats
²the receiver for the keyless entry system
²storage compartment for remote garage door
opener
²storage compartment for sunglasses.
COMPASS
The compass will display the direction the vehicle
is pointed, using the eight major compass headings
(Examples: North is ``N'', Northeast is ``NE''). It does
not display the headings in actual degrees. The dis-
play is turned on/off using the TEMP/COMP button
on the left of the display.
The compass is a self calibrating unit that should
not require recalibration. The only calibration that
may prove necessary is to drive the vehicle in 3 com-
plete circles, on level ground, in not less than 48 sec-
onds. This will ``reorient'' the unit to its vehicle. The
unit also will compensate for magnetism the vehicle
may acquire during its life. Care should be used to
avoid putting anything magnetic on the roof of the
vehicle.
The unit can compensate for some magnetic fields
in the body. The use of magnetic attachments like
antenna mounts or repair order ``hats'' placed di-
rectly on the roof can exceed the compensation abil-
ity of the unit. Magnetic bit drivers used on the
fasteners to hold the assembly to the roof header can
also affect operation. If the vehicle roof should be-
come magnetized, then the degaussing and calibra-
tion procedures may be required to restore proper
operation.
If the compass functions but accuracy is suspect, it
may be necessary to perform a variation adjustment.
This procedure allows the unit to accommodate vari-
ations in the earth's magnetic field strength based on
geographic location.
If the compass has blanked out and only CAL
appears, degaussing may be necessary to re-
move residual magnetic fields.
THERMOMETER
The ambient temperature display can be changed
from Fahrenheit to Celsius using the U.S./METRIC
button on the right of the display. The temperature
reported is not an instant reading of conditions but
an average temperature. It may take the unit several
minutes to react to a major change such as driving
out of a heated garage into winter temperatures.
When the ignition switch is turned OFF, the last
displayed temperature reading stays in memory.
When the ignition switch is turned ON again the
thermometer will display the memory temperature
for one minute; then update the display to the actual
temperature within five minutes.
READING AND COURTESY LAMPS
All reading and courtesy lamps in the overhead
console are activated by the door courtesy circuit.
When all four doors and the liftgate are closed the
lamps can be activated by depressing the correspond-
ing lens. When any door or the liftgate is open, the
switches are disabled. They will not turn the lamps
off.
MAP AND COURTESY LAMPS
These lamps offer several unique features. Both the
map and courtesy lamps can be turned on with the
integral ``Soft Touch'' switch. Pushing this switch en-
ergizes an electrical circuit, which in turn directs
power to the light. The map lamps are unaffected by
the door switches, while the courtesy lamps are
turned on with the opening of any door. When any
door is open, the ``Soft Touch'' switches are disabled,
you cannot turn the lights off with these switches.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
Follow the appropriate diagnostic flow chart:
²Chart 1 describes the procedures for compass and
display problems.
²Chart 2 describes the procedures for illumination
lamp problems.
²Chart 3 describes the procedures for outside tem-
perature measuring problems.

circles, in not less than 48 seconds. The CAL light
will go off and the compass is now calibrated.
(5) Reset variation number. This step must be
done every time step 2 is performed.
If CAL light does not go off, either there is ex-
cessive magnetism near the compass or the unit
is defective. Repeat the degaussing and calibra-
tion procedures at least one more time.
If the wrong direction is still indicated, the
area selected may be too close to a magnetic
source. Repeat the calibration procedure in an-
other location.
DEGAUSSING PROCEDURE
The tool used to degauss or demagnetize the forward
console attaching screw and roof panel is the Miller
Tool 6029. Equivalent units must be rated as continu-
ous duty for 110/115 volts, 60Hz with a field strength of
over 350 gauss at 1/4 inch beyond the tip of the probe.
In this degaussing procedure the degaussing tool is
used to demagnetize both the roof panel and console
forward mounting screw.
(1) Be sure the ignition switch is in the OFF posi-
tion before you begin the degaussing procedures.
CAUTION: Keep the degaussing tool at least 2 inches
away from the compass area when plugging it in.
(2) Plug the degaussing tool into a standard
110/115 volt AC outlet.
CONSOLE FORWARD MOUNTING SCREW
(3) Slowly approach the head of the forward
mounting screw with the plastic coated tip of the de-
gaussing tool. Contact the head of the screw for
about two seconds.
(4) With the degaussing tool still energized, slowly
back it away from the screw until the tool is at least
2 inches from the screw head then unplug the tool.
ROOF PANEL
(5) Place an 8 1/2 X 11 piece of paper on the center
of the roof at the windshield, oriented lengthwise
from front to rear. The purpose of the paper is pro-
tect the roof panel from scratches and define the area
to be degaussed (Fig. 2). Figure 2 shows the recom-
mended sweep pattern of 1/2 inch between passes in
a sweeping zig-zag pattern.
(6) Plug in the degaussing tool. Keep the tool at
least 2 inches away from the compass unit.
(7) Slowly approach the center of the roof panel at
the windshield with the degaussing tool plugged in.
(8) Contact the roof panel with the tip of the tool
(be sure template is in place to avoid scratching the
roof panel). Using slow sweeping motions of 1/2 inch
between sweeps, move the tool approximately 49ei-
ther side of the centerline and at least 11 inches
back from the windshield.(9) With the degaussing tool still energized, slowly
back it away from the roof panel until the tip is at
least 2 inches from the roof then unplug the tool.
(10) Calibrate the compass and set the variance as
described.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TEST
The self-diagnostic test is used to verify the com-
pass is working properly electrically. This can be
used to confirm that the display and all of its seg-
ments are operating properly. Initiate the self-diag-
nostic test as follows:
(1) With the ignition switch in the OFF position si-
multaneously press and hold the COMP/TEMP but-
ton and the US/METRIC button.
(2) Turn ignition switch to ON.
(3) Continue to hold both buttons until the display
performs a walking segment test. In this test all of
the compass points are displayed along with various
number combinations. These combinations verify
that all segments work. To repeat the test, press the
COMP/TEMP button.
(4) Press the US/METRIC button, and all segments
will light simultaneously for about 2 seconds. To re-
peat the test, press the COMP/TEMP button.
(5) Press the US/METRIC button to return to nor-
mal operation.

(6) Should any segment in any of the digit positions
fail to light, the unit is defective and should be re-
placed.
THERMOMETER AND SENSOR SYSTEM REPAIR
PROCEDURES
This portion of the display consists of a sensor, the
circuit and display devoted to the temperature mea-
suring and display. The sensor is mounted at the
center of the vehicle below the grille, behind the
front bumper (Fig. 3).
If an electrical component breaks it will diagnose as
an open or short circuit. The system reports SC when
the sensor is exposed to temperatures in excess of 140ÉF
or if the circuit is shorted. If the temperature is below
-40ÉF or an open exists, the system will display OC.
To diagnose the temperature sensor perform the
following procedures. If the sensor and wiring are
OK then the electronic module is defective and
should be replaced.
SENSOR TEST
(1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
(2) Measure resistance of sensor. At -40ÉF the re-
sistance is 336K ohms. At 140ÉF the resistance is
2.488K ohms. If resistance is NOT between these two
values, then the sensor is faulty. Replace the sensor.CIRCUIT TEST
(1) Locate temperature sensor and disconnect har-
ness connector.
(2) Short the pins on the harness connector by us-
ing a jumper wire.
(3) Remove the overhead console as described in
Console Repair Procedures.
(4) Check continuity between pins 10 and 11 of
compass/temperature harness connector (Fig. 4). If an
open circuit is detected, repair as required.
(5) Remove jumper wire on temperature sensor
harness connector. Check continuity between pins 10
and 11 of compass/temperature harness connector
(Fig. 4). If a short is detected, repair as required.
CONSOLE REPAIR PROCEDURES
(1) Remove screw forward of the compass unit (Fig.
5).
(2) Flex housing outward while pressing upward to
disengage the housing from the rear bracket (arrow 1)
(Fig. 5).

(3) Slide console rearward until the console de-
taches from the front mounting bracket (arrow 2)
(Fig. 5).
(4) While pressing up on rear of console (arrow 1),
slide console forward holding front away from head-
liner (arrow 2). Move console forward until the rear
detaches from headliner and becomes free (Fig. 6).
(5) Disconnect wire harnesses from keyless entry
and compass (Figs. 7 and 8).
(6) To install the overhead console, reverse the re-
moval procedures. Be sure to flex housing outward
near the keyless entry receiver until the console
snaps onto the rear mounting bracket.
BULB REPLACEMENT
(1) With a large paper clip or wire (approximately
0.06 in. diameter) make a hook in the end. Insert
into the hole in the lens and pull downward (Fig. 9).
(2) Set lens aside and replace bulb.(3) Replace lens by inserting tab on thin portion of
lens into mating slot on console and push upwards on

The camshaft position sensor is located in the dis-
tributor on all engines (Fig. 9).
Refer to figure 9 for an exploded view of the dis-
tributor.
(1) Disconnect the negative battery cable at bat-
tery.
(2) On XJ models equipped with A/C, remove the
electrical cooling fan and shroud assembly from the
radiator. This will provide room to turn the engine
with a socket and ratchet using the vibration damper
bolt.
(3) Scribe a mark on the distributor housing. Do
this below the left side of (past) the number one
spark plug cable post of the distributor cap. This will
be used as a reference for #1 cylinder firing position
(Fig. 14).
(4) Remove the distributor cap from distributor (2
screws).
(5) Turn the engine in a clockwise direction until
the rotor is approaching the scribe mark on the dis-
tributor housing. Then slowly turn the engine until
the timing mark on the crankshaft vibration damper
lines up with zero on the front cover timing scale
(Fig. 15).
The timing mark is on the edge of the vibra-
tion damper closest to the engine front cover.
(6) Align the trailing edge of the rotor blade with
the scribe mark on the distributor housing (Fig. 16).
(7) Remove the distributor holddown bolt and
clamp.
(8) Remove the distributor from the engine by lift-
ing straight up. Remove and discard old distributor-
to-engine block gasket. Note that the rotor willrotate slightly in a counterclockwise direction while
lifting up the distributor. Note this position after re-
moval.
INSTALLATIONÐ4.0L ENGINE
(1) Clean the distributor mounting area of the cyl-
inder block.
(2) Install a replacement distributor-to-engine
block gasket.
(3) Using a flat blade screwdriver, turn the oil
pump gear shaft. Do this until the slot is slightly
past the 11 o'clock position (Fig. 17).

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.
