controlled by the turn signal and hazard warning
switches. One side of the bulb for each lamp is
grounded at all times. The other side of the bulb re-
ceives battery feed through the contacts of the turn
signal switch, when the turn signal lever or hazard
warning button are actuated. Refer to Group 8J -
Turn Signal and Hazard Warning Systems for more
information.
UPSHIFT INDICATOR LAMP
Vehicles equipped with manual transmissions have
an optional upshift indicator lamp. Ground feed for
the lamp is switched by the Powertrain Control Mod-
ule (PCM). The lamp lights to indicate when the
driver should shift to the next highest gear for best
fuel economy. The PCM will turn the lamp off after 3
to 5 seconds if the upshift is not performed. The lamp
will remain off until the vehicle stops accelerating
and is brought back to the range of lamp operation,
or until the transmission is shifted into another gear.
The indicator lamp is normally on when the igni-
tion switch is turned ON and is turned off when the
engine is started. The lamp will be turned on during
vehicle operation according to engine speed and load.
CLUSTER ILLUMINATION LAMPS
All cluster illumination lamps receive battery feed
from the instrument lamps fuse in the fuseblock
module through the panel dimmer switch. When the

DIAGNOSIS............................. 2
GENERAL INFORMATION.................. 1SERVICE PROCEDURES................... 9
GENERAL INFORMATION
The vehicle speed control system (Fig. 1) is an
available option on all XJ (Cherokee) models. The
system is electronically controlled and vacuum oper-
ated. Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the vehicle speed control system. Re-
fer to Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for complete cir-
cuit descriptions and diagrams.
SPEED CONTROL SERVO
The speed control servo is mounted to a bracket on
the right side inner fender shield in the engine com-
partment. The servo unit consists of a solenoid valve
body, a vacuum servo and the mounting bracket. The
PCM controls the solenoid valve body. The solenoid
valve body controls the application and release of
vacuum to the diaphragm of the vacuum servo. The
servo unit cannot be repaired and is serviced only as
a complete assembly.
SPEED CONTROL SWITCH
The speed control switch module is mounted to the
center of the steering wheel below the driver's airbag
module. The PCM monitors the state of the speed
control switches. The individual switches are labeled:
OFF/ON, RESUME/ACCEL, SET/COAST. Refer to
the owner's manual for more information on speed
control switch functions and setting procedures. The
individual switches cannot be repaired. If one switch
fails, the entire switch module must be replaced.
STOP LAMP SWITCH
Vehicles with the speed control option use a dual
function stop lamp switch. The switch is mounted in
the same location as the conventional stop lamp
switch, on the brake pedal mounting bracket under
the instrument panel. The PCM monitors the state of
the dual function stop lamp switch. Refer to Group 5
- Brakes for more information on stop lamp switch
service and adjustment procedures.
SERVO CABLE
The speed control servo cable is connected betweenthe speed control vacuum servo diaphragm and the
throttle control linkage. This cable causes the throt-
tle control linkage to open or close the throttle valve
in response to movement of the vacuum servo dia-
phragm.
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
The speed control electronic control circuitry is in-
tegrated into the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The PCM is located in the engine compartment on
the left side inner fender shield. The PCM speed con-
trol functions are monitored by the On-Board Diag-
nostics (OBD). All OBD-sensed systems are
monitored by the PCM. Each monitored circuit is as-
signed a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). The PCM
will store a DTC in electronic memory for any failure
it detects. See Using On-Board Diagnostic System in
this group for more information. The PCM cannot be
repaired and must be replaced if faulty.
VACUUM RESERVOIR
The vacuum reservoir is mounted behind the left
end of the front bumper bar. The reservoir contains a
one-way check valve to trap engine vacuum in the
reservoir. When engine vacuum drops, as in climbing
a grade while driving, the reservoir supplies the vac-
uum needed to maintain proper speed control opera-
tion. The vacuum reservoir cannot be repaired and
must be replaced if faulty.
VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR
The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is a pulse genera-
tor mounted to an adapter near the transmission
(two-wheel drive) or transfer case (four-wheel drive)
output shaft. The sensor is driven through the
adapter by a speedometer pinion gear. The VSS pulse
signal to the speedometer/odometer is monitored by
the PCM speed control circuitry to determine vehicle
speed and to maintain speed control set speed. Refer
to the appropriate Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures
manual for testing of this component. Refer to Group
14 - Fuel System for service of this component.
JVEHICLE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM 8H - 1
GENERAL INFORMATION - YJ
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the YJ (Wrangler) wiper and washer
systems. Refer to Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for
complete circuit descriptions and diagrams.
WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM
A two-speed wiper system is standard equipment
on all YJ models. An optional intermittent wipe sys-
tem is available. The standard system allows the
driver to select from two wiper speeds. The optional
intermittent wipe system allows the driver to select
from two wiper speeds or an intermittent wipe fea-
ture that allows a delay between wipes of 2 to 15 sec-
onds. Refer to the owner's manual for more
information on wiper system controls and operation.
The wipers will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the ACCESSORY or ON position. A cir-
cuit breaker in the fuseblock module protects the cir-
cuitry of the wiper system.
WINDSHIELD WASHER SYSTEM
A electrically-operated windshield washer system is
standard equipment on all YJ models. The washers
will operate only when the ignition switch is in the
ACCESSORY or ON position. A circuit breaker in the
fuseblock module protects the circuitry of the washer
system. Refer to the owner's manual for more infor-
mation on washer system controls and operation.
LIFTGATE WIPER/WASHER SYSTEM
A liftgate wiper/washer system is an available op-
tion on YJ models equipped with the optional hard-
top. The liftgate wiper is a fixed cycle wipe system. A
single switch on the instrument panel controls both
the liftgate wiper and washer functions. These sys-
tems will operate only when the ignition switch is in
the ON position. Fuse 1 in the fuseblock module pro-
tects the circuitry of both the liftgate wiper and
washer. Refer to the owner's manual for more infor-
mation on liftgate wiper/washer system controls and
operation.
WIPER ARMS, BLADES, AND ELEMENTS
All YJ models have two 12-inch windshield wiper
blades with replaceable rubber elements (squeegees).
Models with the liftgate wiper option use a single 16-
inch wiper blade with a replaceable rubber element
(squeegee).
Caution should be exercised to protect the rubber
squeegees from any petroleum-based cleaners or con-
taminants, which will rapidly deteriorate the squee-
gee rubber. If squeegees are damaged, worn or
contaminated they must be replaced.
Wiper squeegees exposed to the weather for a long
time tend to lose their wiping effectiveness. Periodiccleaning of the squeegees is suggested to remove de-
posits of salt and road film. The wiper blades, arms
and windshield or liftgate glass should be cleaned
with a sponge or cloth and a mild detergent or non-
abrasive cleaner. If the squeegees continue to streak
or smear, they should be replaced.
The blades are mounted to spring-loaded wiper
arms. Spring tension of the wiper arms controls the
pressure applied to the blades on the glass. The
windshield wiper arms are attached by an integral
latch to the two wiper pivots on the windshield frame
at the base of the windshield. The liftgate wiper arm
is attached by an integral latch directly to the lift-
gate wiper motor output shaft on the liftgate glass.
The wiper arms and blades can not be adjusted or re-
paired. If faulty, they must be replaced.
WIPER LINKAGE AND PIVOTS
The wiper pivots are fastened to the windshield
frame with nuts. The pivots and linkage are serviced
through access holes in the interior side of the lower
windshield frame. The two pivots and their connect-
ing link are serviced as a unit. The drive link, which
connects the motor crank arm to the left pivot, is ser-
viced separately.
WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR
The two-speed permanent magnet wiper motor has
an integral transmission and park switch. The motor
is mounted to a cover plate on the interior side of the
lower windshield frame. The wiper motor output
shaft passes through a gasket and the cover plate
into the space between the inner and outer lower
windshield frame, where the crank arm attached to
the output shaft drives the wiper drive link.
Wiper speed is controlled by current flow to the ap-
propriate set of brushes. The wiper motor completes
its wipe cycle when the switch is turned OFF, and
parks the blades in the lowest portion of the wipe
pattern. The wiper motor assembly can not be re-
paired. If faulty, the entire motor assembly must be
replaced. The cover plate, gasket and drive link to
crank arm retaining ring are available for service.
LIFTGATE WIPER MOTOR
The liftgate wiper motor operates in three modes:
²constant wipe that operates when the liftgate
wiper/washer switch is placed in the Wipe position
²constant wipe that operates when the liftgate
washers are operated
²a park mode that runs the motor until the wiper
blade reaches the park position after the liftgate
wiper switch or ignition switch is turned OFF.
