DIAGNOSIS
When diagnosing the turn signal or hazard warning
circuits, remember that high generator output can
burn out bulbs rapidly and repeatedly. If this is a
problem on the vehicle being diagnosed, refer to
Group 8A - Battery/Starting/Charging Systems Diag-
nostics to test charging system.
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AN AIR-
BAG, REFER TO GROUP 8M - RESTRAINT SYS-
TEMS BEFORE ATTEMPTING STEERING WHEEL
COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. FAILURE
TO TAKE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT
IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POS-
SIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
TURN SIGNAL/HAZARD WARNING SYSTEM - XJ
(1) Turn ignition switch to ON position. Actuate the
turn signal lever or hazard warning button. Observe
the turn indicator lamp(s) in the instrument cluster.
If the flash rate is very high, check for a turn signal
bulb that is not lit. Replace that bulb or repair cir-
cuits to that lamp, as required. Test operation. If turn
indicator does not light, continue to next step.
(2) Remove and inspect fuse 8 (turn signals) in
fuseblock module, or fuse F13 (hazard warning) in the
Power Distribution Center. Replace fuse, if required.
(3) Remove combination flasher from relay center
and replace with a known good unit. Test operation of
turn signal and hazard warning systems. If OK, re-place faulty combination flasher. If not OK, remove
test flasher and go to next step.
(4) With ignition switch in ON position, check for
battery voltage at cavity for flasher terminal J1 (Fig.
2). If OK, go to next step. If not OK, repair circuit to
ignition switch as required.
(5) With ignition switch in OFF position, check for
battery voltage at cavity for flasher terminal J2. If
OK, go to next step. If not OK, repair circuit to Power
Distribution Center as required.
(6) With ignition switch in OFF position, check for
continuity between cavity for flasher terminal J5 and
a good ground. There should be continuity. If OK, go
to next step. If not OK, repair circuit to ground as
required.
(7) Locate the multi-function switch connector. See
Multi-Function Switch, in this group. Check for conti-
nuity between cavity for flasher terminal J3 and cav-
ity 13 of the multi-function switch connector. There
should be continuity. If OK, go to next step. If not OK,
repair open circuit as required.
(8) Check for continuity between cavity for flasher
terminal J4 and cavity 17 of the multi-function switch
connector. There should be continuity. If OK, test
multi-function switch. If not OK, repair open circuit
as required.

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.

CHARGING SYSTEM
CHARGING SYSTEM
The charging system is an integral part of the bat-
tery and starting systems. Because all these systems
work in conjunction, diagnose and test them together.
Circuit A11 connects to the generator output termi-
nal and splices to fuse 1 and fuse 8 in the Power Dis-
tribution Center (PDC). Circuit A0 connects the
battery to the PDC.
Circuit Z0 provides ground for the generator. Cir-
cuit Z0 attaches to the right rear of the engine.
When the ignition switch is in either the START or
RUN positions, it connects circuit A1 from fuse 6 in
the PDC to circuit A21. Circuit A21 splices to supply
current to the coil side of the automatic shut down
(ASD) relay. The powertrain control module (PCM)
provides ground for the relay on circuit K51. Circuit
K51 connects to cavity 51 of the PCM.
When the PCM grounds the ASD relay, contacts in-
side the relay close and connect circuit A18 from fuse
14 in the PDC to circuit A142. Circuit A142 splices to
the generator field terminal.
The PCM has an internal voltage regulator that
controls generator output. The PCM controls the gen-
erator field on circuit K20. Circuit K20 connects to
PCM cavity 20.
When the engine operates and there is current in
the generator field, the generator produces a B+ volt-
age. The generator supplies B+ voltage to the battery
through the A11 and A0 circuits.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
²If the vehicle is equipped with a 2.5L engine, cir-
cuit Z0 also connects to the battery.
²Circuit A14 from fuse 2 in the PDC supplies volt-
age to the fuse block for fuse 14.
²The ignition switch also connects circuit A1 with
circuits A41, A38, and A48.
²Circuit A21 also splices to power fuse 17 in the
fuse block.
²Circuit A21 also powers the coil side of the fuel
pump relay.
²The ASD relay supplies battery voltage for the fuel
injectors, ignition coil, and the heated oxygen sensor.
The fuel pump relay powers the fuel pump module.
²Circuit K51 also provides ground for the coil side
of the fuel pump relay.

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

CHARGING SYSTEM INDICATOR LAMP
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) illuminates
the charging system indicator lamp by providing
ground for the lamp on circuit G12. Circuit G12 con-
nects to cavity 36 of the PCM. Circuit F87 supplies
battery voltage to the lamp.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) SWITCH
When the 4WD switch closes, circuit Z1 provides
ground for the 4WD indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster. Circuit F87 connects to the instrument clus-
ter and supplies battery voltage to the 4WD indicator
lamp. Circuit 107 connects the indicator lamp to the
4WD switch. Circuit 106 connects the lamp to the in-
strument cluster and circuit F87.
CLUSTER GROUND
Circuit Z1 from the instrument cluster left connec-
tor provides ground for the illumination lamps and
indicator lamps.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
²If the warning lamps don't operate, check fuse 14
in the fuse block.
²If the indicator lamps and illumination lamps
don't operate, check fuse 13 in the fuse block.
²Inspect the ground at the instrument panel lower
right reinforcement support.
