GENERAL INFORMATION
Following are general descriptions of major instru-
ment panel components. Refer to Group 8W - Wiring
Diagrams for complete circuit descriptions and dia-
grams.
INSTRUMENT PANEL
Modular instrument panel construction allows all
gauges and controls to be serviced from the front of
the panel. In addition, most instrument panel wiring
and heater components can be accessed without com-
plete instrument panel removal.
Removal of the left instrument cluster bezel allows
access to the main cluster assembly and most
switches. Removal of the center cluster bezel allows
access to the gauge package cluster assembly, the
heater controls, and the radio. Removal of the cluster
assemblies allows access to the individual gauges, il-
lumination and indicator lamp bulbs, printed cir-
cuits, and most wiring.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS
The instrument cluster used on YJ (Wrangler) mod-
els consists of two separate assemblies. The main
cluster assembly is located on the left side of the in-
strument panel, centered over the steering column
opening. The gauge package cluster assembly is lo-
cated near the center of the instrument panel. Each
cluster assembly is served by a separate printed cir-
cuit and wiring connector. Some variations of each
cluster exist due to optional equipment and regula-
tory requirements.
The main cluster assembly includes a speedometer/
odometer/trip odometer and a tachometer. It also in-
cludes provisions for the following indicator lamps:
²anti-lock brake system lamp
²brake warning lamp
²headlamp high beam indicator lamp
²malfunction indicator (Check Engine) lamp
²seat belt reminder lamp²turn signal indicator lamps
²upshift indicator lamp.
The gauge package cluster assembly includes a
four-wheel drive indicator lamp and the following
gauges:
²coolant temperature gauge
²fuel gauge
²oil pressure gauge
²voltmeter.
GAUGES
With the ignition switch in the ON or START posi-
tion, voltage is supplied to all gauges through the
two cluster printed circuits. With the ignition switch
in the OFF position, voltage is not supplied to the
gauges. A gauge pointer may remain within the
gauge scale after the ignition switch is OFF. How-
ever, the gauges do not accurately indicate any vehi-
cle condition unless the ignition switch is ON.
All gauges except the odometer are air core mag-
netic units. Two fixed electromagnetic coils are lo-
cated within the gauge. These coils are wrapped at
right angles to each other around a movable perma-
nent magnet. The movable magnet is suspended
within the coils on one end of a shaft. The gauge nee-
dle is attached to the other end of the shaft.
One of the coils has a fixed current flowing through
it to maintain a constant magnetic field strength.
Current flow through the second coil changes, which
causes changes in its magnetic field strength. The
current flowing through the second coil can be
changed by:
²a variable resistor-type sending unit (fuel level,
coolant temperature, or oil pressure)
²changes in electrical system voltage (voltmeter)
²electronic control circuitry (speedometer/odometer,
tachometer).
8E - 24 INSTRUMENT PANEL AND GAUGESÐYJJ

The gauge needle moves as the movable permanent
magnet aligns itself to the changing magnetic fields
created around it by the electromagnets.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The coolant temperature gauge gives an indication
of engine coolant temperature. The coolant tempera-
ture sending unit is a thermistor that changes elec-
trical resistance with changes in engine coolant
temperature. High sending unit resistance causes
low coolant temperature readings. Low resistance
causes high coolant temperature readings. Sending
unit resistance values are shown in a chart in Spec-
ifications.
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge gives an indication of the level of
fuel in the fuel tank. The fuel gauge sending unit has
a float attached to a swing-arm in the fuel tank. The
float moves up or down within the fuel tank as fuel
level changes. As the float moves, an electrical con-
tact on the swing-arm wipes across a resistor coil,
which changes sending unit resistance. High sending
unit resistance causes high fuel level readings. Low
resistance causes low fuel level readings. Sending
unit resistance values are shown in a chart in Spec-
ifications.
OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
The oil pressure gauge gives an indication of en-
gine oil pressure. The combination oil pressure send-
ing unit contains a flexible diaphragm. The
diaphragm moves in response to changes in engine
oil pressure. As the diaphragm moves, sending unit
resistance increases or decreases. High resistance on
the gauge side of the sending unit causes high oil
pressure readings. Low resistance causes low oil
pressure readings. Sending unit resistance values are
shown in a chart in Specifications.
SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER
The speedometer/odometer give an indication of ve-
hicle speed and travel distance. The speedometer re-
ceives a vehicle speed pulse signal from the Vehicle
Speed Sensor (VSS). An electronic integrated circuit
contained within the speedometer reads and analyzes
the pulse signal. It then adjusts the ground path re-
sistance of one electromagnet in the gauge to control
needle movement. It also sends signals to an electric
stepper motor to control movement of the odometer
number rolls. Frequency values for the pulse signal
are shown in a chart in Specifications.
The VSS is mounted to an adapter near the trans-
fer case output shaft. The sensor is driven through
the adapter by a speedometer pinion gear. The
adapter and pinion vary with transmission, axle ratio
and tire size. Refer to Group 21 - Transmission and
Transfer Case for more information.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer gives an indication of engine speed
in Revolutions-Per-Minute (RPM). With the engine
running, the tachometer receives an engine speed
pulse signal from the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). An electronic integrated circuit contained
within the tachometer reads and analyzes the pulse
signal. It then adjusts the ground path resistance of
one electromagnet in the gauge to control needle
movement. Frequency values for the pulse signal are
shown in a chart in Specifications.
TRIP ODOMETER
The trip odometer is driven by the same electronic
integrated circuit as the speedometer/odometer. How-
ever, by depressing the trip odometer reset knob on
the face of the speedometer, the trip odometer can be
reset to zero. The trip odometer is serviced only as a
part of the speedometer/odometer gauge assembly.
VOLTMETER
The voltmeter is connected in parallel with the bat-
tery. With the ignition switch ON, the voltmeter in-
dicates battery or generator output voltage,
whichever is greater.
INDICATOR LAMPS
All indicator lamps, except the four-wheel drive in-
dicator, are located in the main cluster tell-tale area
above the steering column opening. Each of the
lamps is served by the main cluster printed circuit
and cluster connector. The four-wheel drive indicator
lamp is located in the gauge package cluster and is
served by the gauge package printed circuit and clus-
ter connector.
Up to eleven indicator lamps can be found in the
tell-tale area of the main cluster. These lamps are ar-
ranged in two rows, with six lamps in the upper row
and five lamps in the lower row.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM LAMP
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) lamp is
switched to ground by the ABS module. The module
lights the lamp when the ignition switch is turned to
the START position as a bulb test. The lamp will
stay on for 3 to 5 seconds after vehicle start-up to in-
dicate a system self-test is in process. If the lamp re-
mains on after start-up, or comes on and stays on
while driving, it may indicate that the ABS module
has detected a system malfunction or that the system
has become inoperative. Refer to Group 5 - Brakes
for more information.
BRAKE WARNING LAMP
The brake warning lamp warns the driver that the
parking brake is applied or that the pressures in the
two halves of the split brake hydraulic system are
unequal. With the ignition switch turned ON, battery

GAUGES
If an individual gauge is inoperative, see the diag-
nostic procedure under the heading for that gauge. If
more than one gauge in the main cluster or gauge
package cluster is inoperative, perform the following:
(1) Check fuse 9 in the fuseblock module. If OK, go
to next step. If not OK, replace fuse.
(2) Check for battery voltage at fuse 9 with igni-
tion switch in ON position. If OK, go to next step. If
not OK, repair open in circuit from ignition switch
and/or refer to Group 8D - Ignition Systems for test-
ing of ignition switch.
(3) Turn ignition switch to OFF. Disconnect battery
negative cable. Remove the affected instrument clus-
ter bezel and cluster assembly. Disconnect the cluster
connector.
(4) Connect battery negative cable. Turn ignition
switch to ON. If problem is in main cluster, check for

ity 12 of gauge package cluster connector. If OK, go
to next step. If not OK, repair open in circuit from
fuse 9 as required.
(5) Turn ignition switch to OFF. Disconnect battery
negative cable. Probe cavities 14 and 20 of main clus-
ter connector, or cavities 1 and 13 of gauge package
cluster connector. Check for continuity to a good
ground. There should be continuity. If OK, replace
the cluster printed circuit. If not OK, repair open in
circuit as required.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The diagnosis found here addresses an inoperative
gauge condition. If the problem being diagnosed is re-
lated to gauge accuracy, be certain to confirm that
problem is with gauge and not with cooling system
performance. Actual engine coolant temperature
should be checked with a test gauge or thermometer
and compared to gauge readings before you proceed
with gauge diagnosis. Refer to Group 7 - Cooling Sys-
tem for more information.
(1) Turn ignition switch to ON. Disconnect coolant
temperature sending unit connector. Sending unit
(Fig. 1) is located near left rear corner of the cylinder
head. The gauge needle should move to low end of
gauge scale. If OK, go to next step. If not OK, go to

check for continuity to sending unit wiring connector.
There should be continuity. If OK, replace gauge. If
not OK, repair open in circuit as required.
FUEL GAUGE
The diagnosis found here addresses an inoperative
gauge condition. If the problem being diagnosed is re-
lated to gauge accuracy, be certain to confirm that
problem is with gauge and not with fuel tank. In-
spect fuel tank for signs of damage or distortion that
could affect sending unit performance before you pro-
ceed with gauge diagnosis. Refer to Group 14 - Fuel
System for more information.
(1) Turn ignition switch to ON. Disconnect fuel
gauge sending unit connector. Connector is located
near the left front upper corner of fuel tank. The
gauge needle should move to high end of gauge scale.
If OK, go to next step. If not OK, go to step 4.

PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH
When closed, the case-grounded park/neutral posi-
tion switch provides a ground path on circuit T41 for
the coil side of the starter motor relay. Circuit A41
from the ignition switch provides battery voltage to
the coil side of the relay.
Circuit T41 splices to cavity 30 of the PCM. The
park/neutral position switch provides an input to the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC) SOLENOID
AND RELAY
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.
