HIGH BEAM INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A high beam indicator is standard equipment on
all instrument clusters. The high beam indicator is
located near the upper edge of the instrument clus-
ter, between the tachometer and the speedometer.
The high beam indicator consists of an International
Control and Display Symbol icon for ªHigh Beamº
imprinted on a blue lens. The lens is located behind a
cutout in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster
overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents
the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. The icon appears silhouetted against a
blue field through the translucent outer layer of the
overlay when the indicator is illuminated from
behind by a replaceable incandescent bulb and bulb
holder unit located on the instrument cluster elec-
tronic circuit board. When the exterior lighting is
turned On, the illumination intensity of the high
beam indicator is dimmable, which is adjusted using
the panel lamps dimmer control ring on the control
stalk of the left multi-function switch. The high beam
indicator lens is serviced as a unit with the instru-
ment cluster lens, hood and mask unit.
OPERATION
The high beam indicator gives an indication to the
vehicle operator whenever the headlamp high beams
are illuminated. This indicator is controlled by a
transistor on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board based upon cluster programming and elec-
tronic messages received by the cluster from the
Body Control Module (BCM) over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus. The high
beam indicator bulb is completely controlled by the
instrument cluster logic circuit, and that logic will
allow this indicator to operate whenever the instru-
ment cluster receives a battery current input on the
fused B(+) circuit. Therefore, the indicator can be
illuminated regardless of the ignition switch position.
The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path
to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. Theinstrument cluster will turn on the high beam indi-
cator for the following reasons:
²High Beam Indicator Lamp-On Message-
Each time the cluster receives a high beam indicator
lamp-on message from the BCM indicating that the
headlamp high beams are turned On, the high beam
indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a high beam
indicator lamp-off message from the BCM.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the high beam indicator
will be turned on for the duration of the test to con-
firm the functionality of the bulb and the cluster con-
trol circuitry.
The BCM continually monitors the exterior light-
ing (left multi-function) switch to determine the
proper outputs to the headlamp low beam and high
beam relays. The BCM then sends the proper high
beam indicator lamp-on and lamp-off messages to the
instrument cluster. If the high beam indicator fails to
light during the actuator test, replace the bulb with a
known good unit. For further diagnosis of the high
beam indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry
that controls the indicator, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING). For proper diagnosis of the headlamp
system, the BCM, the PCI data bus, or the electronic
message inputs to the instrument cluster that control
the high beam indicator, a DRBIIItscan tool is
required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic infor-
mation.
LOW FUEL INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A low fuel indicator is standard equipment on all
instrument clusters. The low fuel indicator is located
near the left edge of the instrument cluster, to the left
of the tachometer. The low fuel indicator consists of an
International Control and Display Symbol icon for
ªFuelº imprinted on an amber lens. The lens is located
behind a cutout in the opaque layer of the instrument
cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay
prevents the icon from being clearly visible when the
indicator is not illuminated. The icon appears silhou-
etted against an amber field through the translucent
outer layer of the overlay when the indicator is illumi-
nated from behind by a replaceable incandescent bulb
and bulb holder unit located on the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board. When the exterior lighting is
turned On, the illumination intensity of the low fuel
indicator is dimmable, which is adjusted using the
panel lamps dimmer control ring on the control stalk
of the left multi-function switch. The low fuel indica-

AUTO HEADLAMP SENSOR
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AUTO HEADLAMP
SENSOR (AHL)
The auto headlamp sensor needs real sunlight to
properly register the light level. When auto head-
lamps are enabled indoors, the headlamps may be
turned on. The sensor is located in the center of the
defroster grille at the base of the windshield. There
are no faults set in the Body Control Module (BCM)
for a inoperative or missing AHL Sensor. Symptom of
a missing sensor or unconnected sensor would be
that the Headlamps and Parklamps turn on when
the vehicle is started and there is a high level of
ambient light present (ie. daytime). Auto headlamps
should not function in the presence of daylight.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Ð HEADLAMP
WARNING: EYE PROTECTION SHOULD BE USED
WHEN SERVICING GLASS COMPONENTS. PER-
SONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
CAUTION: Do not touch the glass of halogen bulbs
with fingers or other possibly oily surface, reduced
bulb life will result. Do not use bulbs other than
those indicated in the Bulb Application table. Dam-
age to lamp and/or Daytime Running Lamp Module
can result. Do not use fuses, circuit breakers or
relays having greater amperage value than indi-
cated on the fuse panel or in the Owners Manual.
Each vehicle is equipped with various lamp assem-
blies. A good power feed and ground are necessary forproper lighting operation. Grounding is provided by
the lamp socket when it comes in contact with the
metal body, or through a separate ground wire.
When changing lamp bulbs check the socket for
corrosion. If corrosion is present, clean it with a wire
brush and coat the inside of the socket lightly with
Mopar Multi-Purpose Grease or equivalent.

HEADLAMP SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The headlamp switch is part of the left multi-func-
tion switch. A knob on the end of the multi-function
switch control stalk controls all of the exterior light-
ing switch functions. The exterior lighting switch is
hard wired to the Body Control Module (BCM).
The exterior lighting switch cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the entire left
multi-function switch unit must be replaced. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERI-
OR/TURN SIGNAL/HAZARD SWITCH - REMOVAL)
for the service procedures. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/BODY
CONTROL/CENTRAL TIMER MODUL - DESCRIP-
TION) for more information on this component.
OPERATION
The exterior lighting switch uses a hard wired five
volt reference circuit from the BCM, resistor multi-
plexing and a hard wired switch output circuit to
provide the BCM with a zero to five volt signal thatindicates the status of all of the exterior lighting
switch settings. The BCM then uses control outputs
to energize the headlamp and park lamp relays that
activate the exterior lighting circuits.
The BCM monitors the exterior lighting switch sta-
tus, then sends the proper switch status messages to
other modules over the Programmable Communica-
tions Interface (PCI) data bus network. The exterior
lighting switch status is also used by the BCM as an
input for chime warning system operation.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Ð HEADLAMP
SWITCH
Before testing the headlamp switch, turn on the
exterior lighting and open the driver side front door.
If the exterior lamps of the vehicle operate, but there
is no chime warning issued with the driver side front
door open, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/
LIGHTING - INTERIOR/DOOR AJAR SWITCH -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If the exterior lamps
of the vehicle are inoperative, but the chime warning
is issued, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHT-
ING - EXTERIOR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
If the exterior lamps and the chime warning are
both inoperative, test the left multi-function switch.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING -
EXTERIOR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If the
multi-function switch tests OK, proceed as follows.
The following tests will help to locate a short or open
in the hard wired circuits between the multi-function
switch and the Body Control Module (BCM). For
complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate
wiring information.
