GENERAL INFORMATION
This Group is divided into three stand alone sec-
tions; XJ, YJ, and XJ Right Hand Drive (XJ-RHD).
Separate circuit descriptions and wiring diagrams are
provided for each vehicle. Each section contains a
Contents list for the wiring diagrams and circuit de-
scriptions for that vehicle.
The complete XJ circuit descriptions and diagrams
are printed first, followed by those for the YJ and
then the XJ-RHD. The heading at the top of each
page identifies the vehicle covered in the section.
NOTES, CAUTIONS, and WARNINGS
Throughout this group additional important infor-
mation is presented in three ways; Notes, Cautions,
and Warnings.
NOTESare used to help describe how switches or
components operate to complete a particular circuit.
They are also used to indicate different conditions
that may appear on the vehicle. For example, an
up-to and after condition.
CAUTIONSare used to indicate information that
could prevent making an error that may damage the
vehicle.
WARNINGSprovide information to prevent per-
sonal injury and vehicle damage. Below is a list of
general warnings that should be followed any time a
vehicle is being serviced.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES FOR EYE PRO-
TECTION.
USE SAFETY STANDS ANYTIME A PROCEDURE RE-
QUIRES BEING UNDER A VEHICLE.
BE SURE THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH ALWAYS IS
IN THE OFF POSITION, UNLESS THE PROCEDURE
REQUIRES IT TO BE ON.SET THE PARKING BRAKE WHEN WORKING ON
ANY VEHICLE. AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
SHOULD BE IN PARK. A MANUAL TRANSMISSION
SHOULD BE IN NEUTRAL.
OPERATE THE ENGINE ONLY IN A WELL-VENTI-
LATED AREA.
KEEP AWAY FROM MOVING PARTS WHEN THE EN-
GINE IS RUNNING, ESPECIALLY THE FAN AND BELTS.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS BURNS, AVOID CONTACT
WITH HOT PARTS SUCH AS THE RADIATOR, EX-
HAUST MANIFOLD(S), TAIL PIPE, CATALYTIC CON-
VERTER, AND MUFFLER.
DO NOT ALLOW FLAME OR SPARKS NEAR THE
BATTERY. GASES ARE ALWAYS PRESENT IN AND
AROUND THE BATTERY.
ALWAYS REMOVE RINGS, WATCHES, LOOSE
HANGING JEWELRY, AND LOOSE CLOTHING.
WIRE CODE IDENTIFICATION
Each wire shown in the diagrams contains a code
(Fig. 1) which identifies the main circuit, part of the
main circuit, gauge of wire, and color. The color is
shown as a two letter code which can be identified by
referring to the Wire Color Code Chart (Fig. 2).
CIRCUIT IDENTIFICATION
All circuits in the diagrams use an alpha/numeric
code to identify the wire and its function (Fig. 3). To
identify which circuit code applies to a system, refer
to the Circuit Identification Code Chart. This chart
shows the main circuits only and does not show the
secondary codes that may apply to some models.

(2) Connect the other lead of the voltmeter to the
selected test point. The vehicle ignition may need to
be turned ON to check voltage. Refer to the appropri-
ate test procedure.
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
(1) Remove the fuse for the circuit being checked or,
disconnect the battery.
(2) Connect one lead of the ohmmeter to one side of
the circuit being tested (Fig. 9).
(3) Connect the other lead to the other end of the
circuit being tested. Low or no resistance means good
continuity.
TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
(1) Remove the fuse and disconnect all items in-
volved with the fuse.
(2) Connect a test light or a voltmeter across the
terminals of the fuse.
(3) Starting at the fuse block, wiggle the wiring
harness about six to eight inches apart and watch the
voltmeter/test lamp.
(4) If the voltmeter registers voltage or the test
lamp glows, there is a short to ground in that general
area of the wiring harness.
TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND ON
FUSES POWERING SEVERAL LOADS
(1) Refer to the wiring diagrams and disconnect or
isolate all items on the fused circuit.
(2) Replace the blown fuse.
(3) Supply power to the fuse by turning ON the
ignition switch or re-connecting the battery.(4) Start connecting the items in the fuse circuit
one at a time. When the fuse blows the circuit with
the short to ground has been isolated.
TESTING FOR A VOLTAGE DROP
(1) Connect the positive lead of the voltmeter to the
side of the circuit closest to the battery (Fig. 10).
(2) Connect the other lead of the voltmeter to the
other side of the switch or component.
(3) Operate the item.
(4) The voltmeter will show the difference in volt-
age between the two points.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six
steps which can aid in the procedure. The steps are
listed and explained below. Always check for non-
factory items added to the vehicle before doing any
diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items,
disconnect them to verify these add-on items are not
the cause of the problem.
(1) Verify the problem.
(2) Verify any related symptoms. Do this by per-
forming operational checks on components that are in
the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.
(3) Analyze the symptoms. Use the wiring dia-
grams to determine what the circuit is doing, where
the problem most likely is occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
(4) Isolate the problem area.
(5) Repair the problem.
(6) Verify proper operation. For this step, check for
proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit.
Refer to the wiring diagrams.

HOW TO USE THIS GROUP
The purpose of this group is to show the electrical
circuits in a clear, simple fashion and to make trou-
bleshooting easier. Components that work together
are shown together. All electrical components used in
a specific system are shown on one diagram. The feed
for a system is shown at the top of the page. All
wires, connectors, splices, and components are shown
in the flow of current to the bottom of the page. Wir-
ing which is not part of the circuit represented is ref-
erenced to another page/section, where the complete
circuit is shown. In addition, all switches, compo-
nents, and modules are shown in theat rest posi-
tion with the doors closed and the key removed
from the ignition.
If a component is part of several different circuits,
it is shown in the diagram for each. For example, the
headlamp switch is the main part of the exterior
lighting, but it also affects the interior lighting and
the chime warning system.
It is important to realize that no attempt is
made on the diagrams to represent components
and wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For
example, a short piece of wire is treated the
same as a long one. In addition, switches and
other components are shown as simply as pos-
sible, with regard to function only.
The wiring diagram show circuits for all wheel-
bases. If there is a difference in systems or compo-
nents between wheel-bases, an identifier is placed
next to the component.
SECTION IDENTIFICATION
Sections in Group 8W are organized by sub-sys-
tems. The sections contain circuit operation descrip-
tions, helpful information, and system diagrams. The
intention is to organize information by system, con-
sistently from year to year.
CONNECTOR LOCATIONS
Section 8W-90 contains Connector Location illus-
trations. The illustrations contain the connector
number and component identification. Connector Lo-
cation charts in Section 8W-90 reference the illustra-
tion number for components and connectors.
Section 8W-80 shows each connector and the cir-
cuits involved with that connector. The connectors
are identified using the number on the Diagram
pages.
SPLICE LOCATIONS
Splice Location charts in Section 8W-70 show the
entire splice, and provide references to other sections
the splice serves.
Section 8W-95 contains illustrations that show the
general location of the splices in each harness. The
illustrations show the splice by number, and provide
a written location.
