JINSTRUMENT PANEL AND GAUGESÐXJ 8E - 13
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

GENERAL INFORMATION
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the XJ (Cherokee)/YJ (Wrangler) horn
systems. Refer to Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for
complete circuit descriptions and diagrams.
HORN SWITCH
XJ
Two horn switches are installed in the steering
wheel, one on each side of the center-mounted driv-
er's airbag module. When either switch is depressed
it completes a circuit to ground for the coil side of the
horn relay. The steering wheel and steering column
must be properly grounded for the horn switches to
function. The horn switches are only serviced as a set
with their wiring. If either switch should fail, both
switches must be replaced.
YJ
A single switch is installed in the center of the
steering wheel, directly under the horn button. When
the horn button is depressed the switch completes a
circuit to ground for the coil side of the horn relay.
The steering wheel and steering column must be
properly grounded for the horn switch to function.
The horn switch is available for service.
HORN RELAY
On XJ models, the horn relay is a mini-relay in-
stalled in the relay center, which is mounted to the
lower instrument panel reinforcement inboard of thesteering column. On YJ models, the horn relay is a
ISO relay installed in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC) near the battery tray. Refer to underside of
PDC cover for relay identification.
One side of the horn relay electromagnetic coil re-
ceives battery voltage at all times. When a horn
switch is depressed, the other side of the relay coil is
grounded. The energized relay coil causes the nor-
mally open relay contacts to close, providing battery
voltage to the horn.
If a problem is encountered with a continuously
sounding horn, it can usually be quickly resolved by
removing the horn relay until further diagnosis is
completed.
HORNS
On YJ models, a standard single, low-note, dia-
phragm-type horn is mounted and grounded to the
left inner fender shield under the hood. Dual horns
are standard equipment on XJ models. The high-note
diaphragm-type horn is mounted and grounded to
the left radiator closure panel brace behind the front
bumper. The low-note diaphragm-type horn is con-
nected in parallel with the high-note horn and is
mounted and grounded to the right radiator closure
panel brace behind the front bumper.
On XJ models, a cadmium-plated screw is
used to attach the horns to the body. Do not
substitute other types of screws as they may be-
come corroded and cause a loss of ground.
