2002 JEEP LIBERTY Airbag light

illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by
the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster will turn on the ABS indicator for the follow-
ing reasons:
²Bulb Test- Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the ABS indicator is illu-
minated by the cluster for about three seconds as a
bulb test.
²ABS Lamp-On Message- Each time the clus-
ter receives a lamp-on message from the CAB, the
ABS indicator will be illuminated. The indicator
remains illuminated until the cluster receives a
lamp-off message from the CAB, or until the ignition
switch is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs
first.
²Communication Error- If the cluster receives
no lamp-on or lamp-off messages from the CAB for
six consecutive seconds, the ABS indicator is illumi-
nated. The indicator remains illuminated until the
cluster receives a valid message from the CAB, or
until the ignition switch is turned to the Off position,
whichever occurs first.
²Actuator Test- Each time the instrument clus-
ter is put through the actuator test, the ABS indica-
tor will be turned on, then off again during the bulb
check portion of the test to confirm the functionality
of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
²ABS Diagnostic Test- The ABS indicator is
blinked on and off by lamp-on and lamp-off messages
from the CAB during the performance of the ABS
diagnostic tests.
The CAB continually monitors the ABS circuits
and sensors to decide whether the system is in good
operating condition. The CAB then sends the proper
lamp-on or lamp-off messages to the instrument clus-
ter. If the CAB sends a lamp-on message after the
bulb test, it indicates that the CAB has detected a
system malfunction and/or that the ABS system has
become inoperative. The CAB will each store a Diag-
nostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any malfunction it
detects. Each time the ABS indicator fails to light
due to an open or short in the cluster ABS indicator
circuit, the cluster sends a message notifying the
CAB of the condition, then the instrument cluster
and the CAB will each store a DTC. For proper diag-
nosis of the antilock brake system, the CAB, the PCI
data bus, or the message inputs to the instrument
cluster that control the ABS indicator, a DRBIIIt
scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diag-
nostic information.AIRBAG INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
An airbag indicator is standard equipment on all
instrument clusters. However, the instrument cluster
is programmed to automatically enable this indicator
only on vehicles equipped with the airbag system,
which is not available in some markets. The airbag
indicator is located above the fuel gauge and to the
left of the tachometer in the instrument cluster. The
airbag indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the
words ªAIR BAGº in the opaque layer of the instru-
ment cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the
overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly vis-
ible when it is not illuminated. A red Light Emitting
Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of
the overlay causes the ªAIR BAGº text to appear in
red through the translucent outer layer of the over-
lay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED,
which is soldered onto the instrument cluster elec-
tronic circuit board. The airbag indicator is serviced
as a unit with the instrument cluster.
OPERATION
The airbag indicator gives an indication to the
vehicle operator when the airbag system is faulty or
inoperative. The airbag indicator is controlled by a
transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board
based upon cluster programming and electronic mes-
sages received by the cluster from the Airbag Control
Module (ACM) over the Programmable Communica-
tions Interface (PCI) data bus. The airbag indicator
Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled
by the instrument cluster logic circuit, and that logic
will only allow this indicator to operate when the
instrument cluster receives a battery current input
on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) cir-
cuit. Therefore, the LED will always be off when the
ignition switch is in any position except On or Start.
The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path
to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn on the airbag indicator
for the following reasons:
²Bulb Test- Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the airbag indicator is illu-
minated for about six seconds. The entire six second
bulb test is a function of the ACM.
²ACM Lamp-On Message- Each time the clus-
ter receives a lamp-on message from the ACM, the
airbag indicator will be illuminated. The indicator
remains illuminated for about twelve seconds or until
the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the
ACM, whichever is longer.
²Communication Error- If the cluster receives
no airbag messages for six consecutive seconds, the
airbag indicator is illuminated. The indicator
8J - 12 INSTRUMENT CLUSTERKJ
ABS INDICATOR (Continued)

remains illuminated until the cluster receives a sin-
gle lamp-off message from the ACM.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the airbag indicator will be
turned on, then off again during the bulb check por-
tion of the test to confirm the functionality of the
LED and the cluster control circuitry. The actuator
test illumination of the airbag indicator is a function
of the instrument cluster.
The ACM continually monitors the airbag system
circuits and sensors to decide whether the system is
in good operating condition. The ACM then sends the
proper lamp-on or lamp-off messages to the instru-
ment cluster. If the ACM sends a lamp-on message
after the bulb test, it indicates that the ACM has
detected a system malfunction and/or that the air-
bags and driver seat belt tensioner may not deploy
when required, or may deploy when not required.
The ACM will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
for any malfunction it detects. Each time the airbag
indicator fails to illuminate due to an open or short
in the cluster airbag indicator circuit, the cluster
sends a message notifying the ACM of the condition,
then the instrument cluster and the ACM will each
store a DTC. For proper diagnosis of the airbag sys-
tem, the ACM, the PCI data bus, or the message
inputs to the instrument cluster that control the air-
bag indicator, a DRBIIItscan tool is required. Refer
to the appropriate diagnostic information.
BRAKE/PARK BRAKE
INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A brake indicator is standard equipment on all
instrument clusters. The brake indicator is located
near the lower edge of the tachometer dial face in the
instrument cluster. The brake indicator consists of
stencil-like cutouts of the word ªBRAKEº and the
International Control and Display Symbol icon for
ªBrake Failureº in the opaque layer of the instru-
ment cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the
overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly vis-
ible when it is not illuminated. A red Light Emitting
Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of
the overlay causes the ªBRAKEº text and the icon to
appear in red through the translucent outer layer of
the overlay when the indicator is illuminated from
behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board. The brake
indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument
cluster.
OPERATION
The brake indicator gives an indication to the vehi-
cle operator when the parking brake is applied, when
there are certain brake hydraulic system malfunc-
tions as indicated by a low brake hydraulic fluid level
condition, or when the brake fluid level switch is dis-
connected. On models equipped with an optional
Antilock Brake System (ABS), the brake indicator
can also give an indication when certain faults are
detected in the ABS. This indicator is controlled by a
transistor on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board based upon cluster programming, electronic
messages received by the cluster from the Controller
Antilock Brake (CAB) over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus (ABS only), and
hard wired inputs from the park brake switch and
the brake fluid level switch. The brake indicator
Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled
by the instrument cluster logic circuit, and that logic
will only allow this indicator to operate when the
instrument cluster receives a battery current input
on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) cir-
cuit. Therefore, the LED will always be off when the
ignition switch is in any position except On or Start.
The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path
to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn on the brake indicator
for the following reasons:
²Bulb Test- Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the brake indicator is illu-
minated by the instrument cluster for about three
seconds as a bulb test.
²Brake Lamp-On Message- Each time the
cluster receives a lamp-on message from the CAB,
the brake indicator will be illuminated. The indicator
remains illuminated until the cluster receives a
lamp-off message from the CAB, or until the ignition
switch is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs
first.
²Park Brake Switch Input- Each time the
cluster detects ground on the park brake switch
sense circuit (park brake switch closed = park brake
applied or not fully released) the brake indicator is
illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until
the park brake switch sense input to the cluster is an
open circuit (park brake switch open = park brake
fully released), or until the ignition switch is turned
to the Off position, whichever occurs first.
²Brake Fluid Level Switch Input- Each time
the cluster detects ground on the red brake warning
indicator driver circuit (brake fluid level switch
closed = brake hydraulic system fluid level low) the
brake indicator is illuminated solid. The indicator
remains illuminated until the status of the red brake
warning indicator driver input to the cluster is off
(brake fluid level switch off = brake hydraulic system
KJINSTRUMENT CLUSTER 8J - 13
AIRBAG INDICATOR (Continued)

The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indi-
cator from being clearly visible when it is not illumi-
nated. A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the
cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the
icon to appear in red through the translucent outer
layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from
behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board. The seat-
belt indicator is serviced as a unit with the instru-
ment cluster.
OPERATION
The seatbelt indicator gives an indication to the
vehicle operator of the status of the driver side front
seatbelt. This indicator is controlled by a transistor
on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board
based upon the cluster programming and electronic
messages received by the cluster from the Airbag
Control Module (ACM) over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus. The seatbelt
indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely
controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit, and
that logic will only allow this indicator to operate
when the instrument cluster receives a battery cur-
rent input on the fused ignition switch output (run-
start) circuit. Therefore, the LED will always be off
when the ignition switch is in any position except On
or Start. The LED only illuminates when it is pro-
vided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn on the
seatbelt indicator for the following reasons:
²Seatbelt Reminder Function- Each time the
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused
ignition switch output (run-start) circuit, the indica-
tor will be illuminated as a seatbelt reminder for
about seven seconds, or until the ignition switch is
turned to the Off position, whichever occurs first.
This reminder function will occur regardless of the
status of the electronic seat belt lamp-on or lamp-off
messages received by the cluster from the ACM.
²Seat Belt Lamp-On Message- Following the
seatbelt reminder function, each time the cluster
receives a seat belt lamp-on message from the ACM
indicating the driver side front seat belt is not fas-
tened with the ignition switch in the Start or On
positions, the indicator will be illuminated. The seat-
belt indicator remains illuminated until the cluster
receives a seat belt lamp-off message, or until the
ignition switch is turned to the Off position, which-
ever occurs first.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the seatbelt indicator will
be turned on, then off again during the bulb check
portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the
LED and the cluster control circuitry.The ACM continually monitors the status of both
front seat belt switches to determine the proper air-
bag system response to a frontal impact of the vehi-
cle. The ACM then sends the proper seatbelt
indicator lamp-on and lamp-off messages to the
instrument cluster based upon the status of the
driver side front seat belt switch input. For further
diagnosis of the seatbelt indicator or the instrument
cluster circuitry that controls the indicator, (Refer to
8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAG-
NOSIS AND TESTING). For proper diagnosis of the
seatbelt switches, the ACM, the PCI data bus, or the
electronic message inputs to the instrument cluster
that control the seatbelt indicator, a DRBIIItscan
tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information.
SECURITY INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A security indicator is standard equipment on all
instrument clusters, but is only functional on vehi-
cles equipped with the optional Vehicle Theft Secu-
rity System (VTSS). The security indicator is located
near the lower edge of the instrument cluster below
the tachometer and to the right of the fuel gauge.
The security indicator consists of a small stencil-like
round 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. A red Light Emitting
Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of
the overlay causes the indicator to appear in red
through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by the LED,
which is soldered onto the instrument cluster elec-
tronic circuit board. The security indicator is serviced
as a unit with the instrument cluster.
OPERATION
The security indicator gives an indication to the
vehicle operator when the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA)
portion of the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS)
is arming or is armed. This indicator is controlled on
the instrument cluster circuit board based upon a
hard wired input to the cluster from the Body Con-
trol Module (BCM) on the VTSS indicator driver cir-
cuit. The security indicator Light Emitting Diode
(LED) receives battery current on the instrument
cluster electronic circuit board through the fused
B(+) circuit at all times; therefore, the LED will
remain functional regardless of the ignition switch
position. The LED only illuminates when it is pro-
vided a path to ground by the BCM. The security

reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
the BCM, the EMIC, the PCM, and the PCI data bus
network inputs and outputs related to the various
exterior lighting systems requires the use of a
DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnos-
tic information.
When diagnosing the exterior lighting circuits,
remember that high generator output can burn out
bulbs rapidly and repeatedly; and, that dim or flick-
ering bulbs can be caused by low generator output or
poor battery condition. If one of these symptoms is a
problem on the vehicle being diagnosed, be certain to
diagnose and repair the battery and charging system
as required. Also keep in mind that a good ground is
necessary for proper lighting operation. If a lighting
problem is being diagnosed that involves multiple
symptoms, systems, or components the problem can
often be traced to a loose, corroded, or open ground.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropri-
ate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connectorrepair procedures, details of wire harness routing
and retention, connector pin-out information and
location views for the various wire harness connec-
tors, splices and grounds.

point. When the relay coil is de-energized, spring
pressure returns the movable contact point back
against the fixed normally closed contact point. A
resistor is connected in parallel with the relay coil in
the relay, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and
electromagnetic interference that can be generated as
the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The front fog lamp relay terminals are connected
to the vehicle electrical system through a connector
receptacle in the Junction Block (JB). The inputs and
outputs of the front fog lamp relay include:
²Common Feed Terminal- The common feed
terminal (30) receives battery current at all times
from a fuse in the JB through a fused B(+) circuit.
²Coil Ground Terminal- The coil ground termi-
nal (85) is connected to a control output of the pre-
mium Body Control Module (BCM) through a front
fog lamp relay control circuit. The BCM controls
front fog lamp operation by controlling a ground path
through this circuit.
²Coil Battery Terminal- The coil battery ter-
minal (86) receives battery current at all times from
a fuse in the JB through a fused B(+) circuit.
²Normally Open Terminal- The normally open
terminal (87) is connected to the front fog lamps
through a front fog lamp relay output circuit and
provides battery current to the front fog lamps when-
ever the relay is energized.
