1998 DODGE RAM 1500 door locks

Sandwiched between the rear cover and the lens,
hood and mask unit is the cluster housing. The
molded plastic cluster housing serves as the carrier
for the cluster circuit board and circuitry, the cluster
connector receptacles, the RKE interface connector,
the gauges, a Light Emitting Diode (LED) for each
cluster indicator, two VFD units, an audible tone
generator, the cluster overlay, the gauge pointers, the
odometer/trip odometer switch and the switch button.
The cluster overlay is a laminated plastic unit. The
dark, visible, outer surface of the overlay is marked
with all of the gauge dial faces and graduations, but
this layer is also translucent. The darkness of this
outer layer prevents the cluster from appearing clut-
tered or busy by concealing the cluster indicators
that are not illuminated, while the translucence of
this layer allows those indicators and icons that are
illuminated to be readily visible. The underlying
layer of the overlay is opaque and allows light from
the LED for each of the various indicators and the
incandescent illumination lamps behind it to be visi-
ble through the outer layer of the overlay only
through predetermined stencil-like cutouts. A rectan-
gular opening in the overlay at the base of both the
speedometer and tachometer dial faces has a smoked
clear lens through which the illuminated VFD units
can be viewed.
Several versions of the EMIC module are offered
on this model. These versions accommodate all of the
variations of optional equipment and regulatory
requirements for the various markets in which the
vehicle will be offered. The microprocessor-based
EMIC utilizes integrated circuitry and information
carried on the Programmable Communications Inter-
face (PCI) data bus network along with several hard
wired analog and multiplexed inputs to monitor sen-
sors and switches throughout the vehicle. In response
to those inputs, the internal circuitry and program-
ming of the EMIC allow it to control and integrate
many electronic functions and features of the vehicle
through both hard wired outputs and the transmis-
sion of electronic message outputs to other electronic
modules in the vehicle over the PCI data bus. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL
MODULES/COMMUNICATION - DESCRIPTION -
PCI BUS).
Besides typical instrument cluster gauge and indi-
cator support, the electronic functions and features
that the EMIC supports or controls include the fol-
lowing:
²Audible Warnings- The EMIC electronic cir-
cuit board is equipped with an audible tone generator
and programming that allows it to provide various
audible alerts to the vehicle operator, including
chime tones and beep tones. An electromechanical
relay is also soldered onto the circuit board to pro-duce audible clicks that emulate the sound of a con-
ventional turn signal or hazard warning flasher.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/CHIME/BUZZER -
DESCRIPTION).
²Brake Lamp Control- The EMIC provides
electronic brake lamp request messages to the Front
Control Module (FCM) located on the Integrated
Power Module (IPM) for brake lamp control, exclud-
ing control of the Center High Mounted Stop Lamp
(CHMSL), which remains controlled by a direct hard
wired output of the brake lamp switch.
²Brake Transmission Shift Interlock Control
- The EMIC monitors inputs from the brake lamp
switch, ignition switch, and the Transmission Range
Sensor (TRS), then controls a high-side driver output
to operate the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock
(BTSI) solenoid that locks and unlocks the automatic
transmission gearshift selector lever on the steering
column.
²Cargo Lamp Control- The EMIC provides
direct control of cargo lamp operation with a load
shedding (battery saver) feature which will automat-
ically turn off the cargo lamp if it remains on after a
timed interval.
²Central Locking- The EMIC provides support
for the central locking feature of the power lock sys-
tem. This feature will lock or unlock all doors based
upon the input from the door cylinder lock switch.
Door cylinder lock switches are used only on models
equipped with the optional Vehicle Theft Security
System (VTSS).
²Door Lock Inhibit- The EMIC inhibits locking
of the doors with the power lock switch when the key
is in the ignition switch and the driver side front
door is ajar. However, operation of the door locks is
not inhibited under the same conditions when the
Lock button of the optional RKE transmitter is
depressed.
²Enhanced Accident Response- The EMIC
monitors an input from the Airbag Control Module
(ACM) and, following an airbag deployment, will
immediately disable the power lock output, unlock all
doors by activating the power unlock output, then
enables the power lock output. This feature, like all
other enhanced accident response features, is depen-
dent upon a functional vehicle electrical system fol-
lowing the vehicle impact event.
²Exterior Lighting Control- The EMIC pro-
vides electronic head lamp and/or park lamp request
messages to the Front Control Module (FCM) located
on the Integrated Power Module (IPM) for the appro-
priate exterior lamp control of standard head and
park lamps, as well as optional front fog lamps. This
includes support for headlamp beam selection and
the optical horn feature, also known as flash-to-pass.
DRINSTRUMENT CLUSTER 8J - 3
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (Continued)

²Exterior Lighting Fail-safe- In the absence of
a headlamp switch input, the EMIC will turn on the
cluster illumination lamps and provide electronic
headlamp low beam and park lamp request messages
to the Front Control Module (FCM) located on the
Integrated Power Module (IPM) for default exterior
lamp operation. The FCM will also provide default
park lamp and headlamp low beam operation and the
EMIC will turn on the cluster illumination lamps if
there is a failure of the electronic data bus commu-
nication between the EMIC and the FCM.
²Heated Seat Control- The EMIC monitors
inputs from the ignition switch and electronic engine
speed messages from the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) to control a high side driver output to the
heated seat switch Light Emitting Diode (LED) indi-
cators. This input allows the heated seat switches to
wake up the heated seat module if the switch is actu-
ated. The EMIC will de-energize the heated seat
switch LED indicators, which deactivates the heated
seat system, if the ignition switch is turned to any
position except On or Start, or if the engine speed
message indicates zero. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
HEATED SEATS - DESCRIPTION).
²Interior Lamp Load Shedding- The EMIC
provides a battery saver feature which will automat-
ically turn off all interior lamps that remain on after
a timed interval of about fifteen minutes.
²Interior Lamps - Enhanced Accident
Response- The EMIC monitors inputs from the Air-
bag Control Module (ACM) and the Powertrain Con-
trol Module (PCM) to automatically turn on the
interior lighting after an airbag deployment event
ten seconds after the vehicle speed is zero. The inte-
rior lighting remains illuminated until the key is
removed from the ignition switch lock cylinder, at
which time the interior lighting returns to normal
operation and control. This feature, like all other
enhanced accident response features, is dependent
upon a functional vehicle electrical system following
the vehicle impact event.
²Interior Lighting Control- The EMIC moni-
tors inputs from the interior lighting switch, the door
ajar switches, the cargo lamp switch, the reading
lamp switches, and the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
module to provide courtesy lamp control. This
includes support for timed illuminated entry with
theater-style fade-to-off and courtesy illumination
defeat features.
²Lamp Out Indicator Control- The EMIC
monitors electronic lamp outage messages from the
Front Control Module (FCM) located on the Inte-
grated Power Module (IPM) in order to provide lamp
out indicator control for the headlamps (low and high
beams), turn signal lamps, and the brake lamps
(excluding CHMSL).²Panel Lamps Dimming Control- The EMIC
provides a hard wired 12-volt Pulse-Width Modulated
(PWM) output that synchronizes the dimming level
of all hard wired panel lamps dimmer controlled
lamps with that of the cluster illumination lamps.
²Parade Mode- The EMIC provides a parade
mode (also known as funeral mode) that allows all
Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) units in the vehi-
cle to be illuminated at full (daytime) intensity while
driving during daylight hours with the exterior
lamps turned on.
²Power Locks- The EMIC monitors inputs from
the power lock switches and the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) receiver module (optional) to provide
control of the power lock motors through high side
driver outputs to the power lock motors. This
includes support for rolling door locks (also known as
automatic door locks), automatic door unlock, a door
lock inhibit mode, and central locking (with the
optional Vehicle Theft Security System only). (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS - DESCRIP-
TION).
²Remote Keyless Entry- The EMIC supports
the optional Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system fea-
tures, including support for the RKE Lock, Unlock
(with optional driver-door-only unlock, and unlock-
all-doors), Panic, audible chirp, optical chirp, illumi-
nated entry modes, an RKE programming mode, as
well as optional Vehicle Theft Security System
(VTSS) arming (when the proper VTSS arming con-
ditions are met) and disarming.
²Remote Radio Switch Interface- The EMIC
monitors inputs from the optional remote radio
switches and then provides the appropriate electronic
data bus messages to the radio to select the radio
operating mode, volume control, preset station scan
and station seek features.
²Rolling Door Locks- The EMIC provides sup-
port for the power lock system rolling door locks fea-
ture (also known as automatic door locks). This
feature will automatically lock all unlocked doors
each time the vehicle speed reaches twenty-four kilo-
meters-per-hour (fifteen miles-per-hour). Following
an automatic lock event, if the driver side front door
is opened first after the ignition is turned to the Off
position, all doors will be automatically unlocked.
²Turn Signal & Hazard Warning Lamp Con-
trol- The EMIC provides electronic turn and hazard
lamp request messages to the Front Control Module
(FCM) located on the Integrated Power Module (IPM)
for turn and hazard lamp control. The EMIC also
provides an audible click at one of two rates to emu-
late normal and bulb out turn or hazard flasher oper-
ation based upon electronic lamp outage messages
from the FCM, and provides an audible turn signal
on chime warning if a turn is signalled continuously

DESCRIPTION
POWER LOCKS
The power lock system allows all of the doors to be
locked or unlocked electrically by operating a switch
on either front door trim panel. The power lock sys-
tem receives non-switched battery current through a
fuse in the Integrated Power Module (IPM), so that
the power locks remain operational, regardless of the
ignition switch position.The instrument cluster locks the doors automati-
cally when the vehicle is driven beyond the speed of
25.7 Km/h (15 mph), all doors are closed and the
accelerator pedal is depressed. The rolling door lock
feature can be disabled if desired.
This vehicle also offers several customer program-
mable features, which allows the selection of several
optional electronic features to suit individual prefer-
ences.
The power lock system for this vehicle can also be
operated remotely using the available Remote Key-
less Entry (RKE) system radio frequency transmit-
ters, if equipped.
