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.
J8W-40 INSTRUMENT CLUSTERÐXJ VEHICLES 8W - 40 - 1
OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
The case grounded oil pressure sensor is a variable
resistor that connects to circuit G6. Circuit G6 con-
nects to the oil pressure gauge.
Circuit F87 connects to the instrument cluster con-
nector and supplies battery voltage to oil pressure
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 cur-
rent passing through the coils to ground at the sen-
sor.
OIL PRESSURE WARNING LAMP
The case grounded oil pressure switch connects to
circuit G6. Circuit G6 connects to the oil pressure
warning lamp. Circuit F87 connects to the instru-
ment cluster connector and supplies battery voltage
to oil pressure lamp.
When the oil pressure switch close, battery voltage
flows through the warning lamp to ground through
the switch, illuminating the lamp.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer module in the instrument cluster
operates the tachometer. The Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) supplies the signal for the tachometer
on circuit G21. Circuit G21 connects to cavity 43 of
the PCM.
SPEEDOMETER
The speedometer and odometer receive a signal
from the vehicle speed sensor on circuit G7. Circuit
G7 also connects to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) at cavity 47.
ABS WARNING LAMP
Circuit F87 provides power for the ABS warning
lamp at the instrument cluster. Ground for the ABS
warning lamp is provided by either the ABS control
module or by the ABS power relay when the relay is
not energized. The ABS control module illuminates
the lamp by providing ground on circuit B205.
Circuit B205 splices to connect to circuit B235
through a diode. When the ABS power relay is not
energized, it connects circuit B235 to circuit Z12. The
ground path for the warning lamp is through the di-
ode to circuit B235, through the ABS power relay to
ground on circuit Z12.
The diode between circuit B205 and B235 prevents
voltage from flowing to the ABS control module when
the ABS power relay switches to supply power on cir-
cuit B235.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL)
The PCM provides ground for the instrument clus-
ter malfunction indicator lamp on circuit G3. Circuit
G3 connects to cavity 32 of the PCM. Circuit F87provides voltage for the lamp. The MIL displays the
message CHECK ENGINE when illuminated.
For information regarding diagnostic trouble code
access using the MIL lamp, refer to Group 14, Fuel
Systems.
LOW WASHER FLUID WARNING LAMP
Circuit G29 connects the low washer fluid switch to
the warning lamp in the instrument cluster. Circuit
F12 supplies battery voltage to the switch.
When the low washer fluid switch closes, it con-
nects circuits G29 and F12. Battery voltage from cir-
cuit F12 powers the low washer fluid lamp. Circuit
Z1 at the instrument cluster provides ground to illu-
minate the warning lamp.
SEAT BELT INDICATOR WARNING LAMP
The seat belt indicator warning lamp is activated
by the chime/buzzer on circuit G11. Circuit G11 sup-
plies power to instrument cluster for the lamp. Cir-
cuit Z1 provides ground for the lamp at the cluster.
The chime/buzzer module powers circuit G11 after
it receives an input on circuit G10 indicating the seat
belt switch is open.
HIGH-BEAM INDICATOR LAMP
Circuit L3 supplies power for the high-beam indi-
cator lamp. The ground path for the lamp is through
circuit Z1. If the vehicle has Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL), the DRL module powers circuit L3
through circuit G465. On vehicles not equipped with
DRL, the headlamp switch powers circuit L3.
Circuit Z1 provides ground for the indicator lamp
at the cluster.
