TRANSMISSION CONTROLS
UPSHIFT LAMP
On vehicles equipped with a manual transmission,
the PCM grounds the up-shift lamp on circuit K54.
Circuit K54 connects to cavity 54 of the PCM.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) SWITCH
When the 4WD switch closes, circuit Z1 provides
ground for the 4WD indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster. Circuit F87 connects to the instrument clus-
ter and supplies battery voltage to the 4WD indicator
lamp. Circuit 107 connects the indicator lamp to the
4WD switch. Circuit 106 connects the lamp to the in-
strument cluster and circuit F87.
TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULEÐ4.0L
ENGINE ONLY
Vehicles equipped with the 4.0L engine have elec-
tronically controlled solenoids in the automatic trans-
mission valve body.
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) receives
inputs from the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) on
circuit K22 and the stop lamp switch on circuit K29.
Circuit K4 connects to the TCM to provide ground for
the TPS signal. The TCM receives the transmission
output speed sensor signal on circuit T505. Circuit
A14 from fuse 2 in the Power Distribution Center
supplies battery voltage to the TCM. Circuit Z12 pro-
vides ground for the TCM.
The TCM powers the S1 solenoid on circuit T510,
the S2 solenoid on circuit T509, and the S3 solenoid
on circuit T508. Circuit Z12 provides ground for the
S1, S2, and S3 solenoids.
TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC) SOLENOID
AND RELAYÐ2.5L ENGINE ONLY
The TCC solenoid is only used on 2.5L engines
with the three-speed automatic transmissions. The
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) operates the TCC
solenoid by energizing the TCC relay.
Circuit T17 from fuse 12 in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) supplies voltage to the coil and contact
sides of the TCC relay. When the PCM provides a
ground path on circuit K54 for the coil side of the re-
lay, the relay contacts close.
When the relay contacts close, they connect circuit
T17 with circuit T22. Circuit T22 supplies battery
voltage to the case grounded TCC solenoid. Circuit
K54 connects to PCM cavity 54.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
The vehicle speed control system is operated by the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Circuit F12 from
fuse 11 in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) sup-
plies battery voltage to the vehicle speed control ON/
OFF switch. Circuit A21 supplies voltage to fuse 11
when the ignition switch is in the START or RUN po-
sitions. In the START or RUN position the ignition
switch connects circuit A21 with circuit A1. Fuse 6 in
the PDC protects circuit A1.
The vehicle speed control ON/OFF switch supplies
voltage to the SET/COAST and RESUME/ACCEL
switches. Both switches send signals to the PCM
(which supplies the ground path for the switches).
The PCM controls the vent and vacuum functions
of the speed control servo on circuits V35 and V36.
Depending on the signal it receives from the vehicle
speed control switches, the PCM either applies vac-
uum to, or vents vacuum from, the servo. Circuit V36
from cavity 33 of the PCM sends the vacuum signal
to the servo. Circuit V35 from cavity 53 sends the
vent signal.
Circuit V32 signals to the PCM that the speed con-
trol switch is in the ON position. The V32 circuit con-
nects to cavity 49 of the PCM. Circuit V32 also
connects to the stop lamp switch.
In the CLOSED position, the stop lamp switch con-
nects circuit V32 with circuit V30 to power the speed
control servo. Circuit Z1 provides ground for the
speed control servo.
Circuit V31 provides the SET/COAST signal to cav-
ity 48 of the PCM. Circuit V33 sends the RESUME/
ACCEL signal to cavity 50 of the PCM.
Circuit K29 connects to cavity 29 of the PCM and
to ground through the stop lamp switch. The stop
lamp switch OPENS when the operator depresses the
brake pedal. The PCM disables speed control when
the stop lamp switch opens. From the stop lamp
switch, circuit Z1 provides ground for circuit K29.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
²Circuit K29 also connects to the ABS control mod-
ule on vehicles with all wheel anti-lock brakes.
²On vehicles with the 4.0L Engine and Automatic
Transmission, Circuit K29 connects to the Transmis-
sion Control Module (TCM).

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
The instrument cluster contains the gauges and
warning lamps. All gauges have magnetic move-
ments.
When the ignition switch is in the START or RUN
position, circuit A21 feeds circuit F87 through fuse 17
in the fuse block. Circuit A1 from fuse 6 in the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) supplies voltage to circuit
A21. Circuit A1 is HOT at all times.
Circuit F87 connects to the cluster connector to
power the gauges and to the telltale connector to
power the warning lamps.
Circuit E2 from fuse 19 in the fuse block feeds the
illumination lamps. Circuit E2 originates at the head-
lamp switch and continues through fuse 19. The
headlamp switch powers circuit E2 when the parking
lamps or headlamp are ON.
Circuit Z2 provides ground for the indicator lamps
and illumination lamps.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE
Circuit G20 connects the engine coolant tempera-
ture gauge to the engine coolant temperature sensor.
The sensor is a variable resistor and case grounded to
the engine. Circuit F87 connects to the instrument
cluster left connector and supplies voltage for the
gauge.
The gauge uses two coils. Current passing through
the coils creates a magnetic field. Position of the
gauge needle is controlled by the amount of current
passing through the coils to ground at the sensor.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE WARNING
LAMP
Circuit G20 connects the engine coolant tempera-
ture warning lamp to the engine coolant temperature
switch. When the switch closes, battery voltage from
circuit F87 flows through the lamp to ground through
the switch on circuit G20. The engine coolant tem-
perature switch is case grounded to the engine. Cir-cuit F87 connects to the instrument cluster connector
and supplies voltage for the lamp.
Circuit G20 also connects to the warning lamp to
ground when the ignition switch is in the START
position. When the ignition switch is in the START
position, the lamp illuminates for a bulb test.
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel level sensor is a variable resistor. Circuit
G4 connects the fuel level sensor to the fuel gauge in
the instrument cluster. Circuit F87 from fuse 17 in
the fuse block supplies voltage to the fuel gauge. The
fuel level sensor draws voltage from circuit F87
through the fuel gauge on circuit G4. Circuit G4
connects to circuit 57 in the fuel pump module har-
ness. Circuit 57 connects to the fuel level sensor.
Circuit 99 in the fuel pump module harness con-
nects to circuit Z1. Circuit Z1 provides the ground
path for the fuel level sensor. The grounding point for
circuit Z1 is the left side of the cowl panel.
As current flows through the coils in the fuel gauge,
it creates a magnetic field. One of the coils in the
gauge receives fixed current. The other coil is con-
nected to the level sensor. The magnetic field controls
the position of the fuel gauge pointer.
The fuel level sensor contains a variable resistor. As
the position of the float arm on the fuel level sensor
changes, the resistor changes the current flow
through second coil in the fuel gauge. A change in
current flow alters the magnetic field in the fuel
gauge, which changes the pointer position.
LOW FUEL WARNING LAMP
Circuit G4 connects the fuel level sensor to the fuel
gauge. The low fuel level module at the rear of the
gauge monitors resistance in circuit G4. The low fuel
level module powers an light emitting diode (LED)
when the resistance in circuit G4 reaches a calibrated
level. The LED illuminates the Low Fuel indicator.
Refer to Group 8E for additional information.

CHARGING SYSTEM INDICATOR LAMP
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) illuminates
the charging system indicator lamp by providing
ground for the lamp on circuit G12. Circuit G12 con-
nects to cavity 36 of the PCM. Circuit F87 supplies
battery voltage to the lamp.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) SWITCH
When the 4WD switch closes, circuit Z1 provides
ground for the 4WD indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster. Circuit F87 connects to the instrument clus-
ter and supplies battery voltage to the 4WD indicator
lamp. Circuit 107 connects the indicator lamp to the
4WD switch. Circuit 106 connects the lamp to the in-
strument cluster and circuit F87.
CLUSTER GROUND
Circuit Z1 from the instrument cluster left connec-
tor provides ground for the illumination lamps and
indicator lamps.
