REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The rear window defogger switch is installed in the
instrument panel HVAC contol head assembly. The
momentary-type switch provides a hard-wired ground
signal to the HVAC control head each time it is
depressed. The instrument cluster rear window
defogger timer and logic circuitry responds by ener-
gizing or de-energizing the rear window defogger
relay.
OPERATION
Energizing the rear window defogger relay pro-
vides electrical current to the rear window defogger
grid and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the outside
rear view mirror heating grids. An amber indicator
lamp in the defogger switch, which lights to indicate
when the defogger system is turned On, is also pow-
ered by the defogger relay output.
The defogger switch illumination lamp and indica-
tor lamp bulbs are serviceable. The defogger switch
cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged the
entire HVAC control head assembly must be
replaced.

perform its many functions. The EMIC module incor-
porates a blue-green digital Vacuum Fluorescent Dis-
play (VFD) for displaying odometer and trip
odometer information, as well as several warning
messages and certain diagnostic information. In addi-
tion to instrumentation and indicators, the EMIC has
the hardware and software needed to provide the fol-
lowing features:
²Chime Warning Service- A chime tone gener-
ator on the EMIC electronic circuit board provides
audible alerts to the vehicle operator and eliminates
the need for a separate chime module. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/CHIME WARNING SYSTEM -
DESCRIPTION).
²Panel Lamps Dimming Service- The EMIC
provides a hard wired 12-volt Pulse-Width Modulated
(PWM) output that synchronizes the dimming level
of the radio display, gear selector indicator, heater-air
conditioner control, and all other dimmable lighting
on the panel lamps dimmer circuit with that of the
cluster illumination lamps and VFD.
The EMIC houses four analog gauges and has pro-
visions for up to twenty-four indicators (Fig. 2). The
EMIC includes the following analog gauges:
²Coolant Temperature Gauge
²Fuel Gauge
²Speedometer
²Tachometer
Some of the EMIC indicators are automatically
configured when the EMIC is connected to the vehi-
cle electrical system for compatibility with certain
optional equipment or equipment required for regula-
tory purposes in certain markets. While each EMIC
may have provisions for indicators to support every
available option, the configurable indicators will not
be functional in a vehicle that does not have the
equipment that an indicator supports. The EMIC
includes provisions for the following indicators (Fig.
2):
²Airbag Indicator (with Airbag System only)
²Antilock Brake System (ABS) Indicator
(with ABS only)
²Brake Indicator
²Charging Indicator
²Coolant Low Indicator (with Diesel Engine

Each indicator in the EMIC is illuminated by a
dedicated Light Emitting Diode (LED) that is sol-
dered onto the EMIC electronic circuit board. The
LEDs are not available for service replacement and,
if damaged or faulty, the entire EMIC must be
replaced. Cluster illumination is accomplished by
dimmable incandescent back lighting, which illumi-
nates the gauges for visibility when the exterior
lighting is turned on. Each of the incandescent bulbs
is secured by an integral bulb holder to the electronic
circuit board from the back of the cluster housing.
The incandescent bulb/bulb holder units are available
for service replacement.
Hard wired circuitry connects the EMIC to the
electrical system of the vehicle. These hard wired cir-
cuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which
are routed throughout the vehicle and retained by
many different methods. These circuits may be con-
nected to each other, to the vehicle electrical system
and to the EMIC through the use of a combination of
soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many
different types of wire harness terminal connectors
and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wiring infor-
mation. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
further details on wire harness routing and reten-
tion, as well as pin-out and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
The EMIC modules for this model are serviced only
as complete units. The EMIC module cannot be
adjusted or repaired. If a gauge, an LED indicator,
the VFD, the electronic circuit board, the circuit
board hardware, the cluster overlay, or the EMIC
housing are damaged or faulty, the entire EMIC mod-
ule must be replaced. The cluster lens, hood and
mask unit and the individual incandescent lamp
bulbs with holders are available for service replace-
ment.
KJINSTRUMENT CLUSTER 8J - 3
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (Continued)
OPERATION
The ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
is designed to allow the vehicle operator to monitor
the conditions of many of the vehicle components and
operating systems. The gauges and indicators in the
EMIC provide valuable information about the various
standard and optional powertrains, fuel and emis-
sions systems, cooling systems, lighting systems,
safety systems and many other convenience items.
The EMIC is installed in the instrument panel so
that all of these monitors can be easily viewed by the
vehicle operator when driving, while still allowing
relative ease of access for service. The microproces-sor-based EMIC hardware and software uses various
inputs to control the gauges and indicators visible on
the face of the cluster. Some of these inputs are hard
wired, but most are in the form of electronic mes-
sages that are transmitted by other electronic mod-
ules over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus network. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/COMMUNICATION - OPERATION).
The EMIC microprocessor smooths the input data
using algorithms to provide gauge readings that are
accurate, stable and responsive to operating condi-
tions. These algorithms are designed to provide

FRONT FOG LAMP INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A front fog lamp indicator is standard equipment
on all instrument clusters, but is only functional on
vehicles equipped with the optional front fog lamps.
The front fog lamp indicator is located above the
engine temperature gauge and to the right of the
speedometer in the instrument cluster. The front fog
lamp indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the
International Control and Display Symbol icon for
ªFront Fog Lightº 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 green Light Emit-
ting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque
layer of the overlay causes the icon to appear in
green 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. When the exterior lighting is
turned On, the illumination intensity of the front fog
lamp indicator is dimmable, which is adjusted using
the panel lamps dimmer control ring on the left con-
trol stalk of the multi-function switch. The front fog
lamp indicator is serviced as a unit with the instru-
ment cluster.
OPERATION
The front fog lamp indicator gives an indication to
the vehicle operator whenever the front fog lamps
are illuminated. This indicator is controlled by a
transistor on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board based upon the 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 front
fog lamp indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is
completely controlled by the instrument cluster logic
circuit, and that logic will allow this indicator to
operate whenever the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused B(+) circuit.
Therefore, the LED can be illuminated regardless of
the ignition switch position. The LED only illumi-
nates when it is provided a path to ground by the
instrument cluster transistor. The instrument cluster
will turn on the front fog lamp indicator for the fol-
lowing reasons:
²Front Fog Lamp-On Message- Each time the
cluster receives a front fog lamp-on message from the
BCM indicating the front fog lamps are turned On,
the front fog lamp indicator will be illuminated. Theindicator remains illuminated until the cluster
receives a front fog lamp-off message from the BCM.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the front fog lamp 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.
The BCM continually monitors the exterior light-
ing (multi-function) switch to determine the proper
outputs to the front fog lamp relay. The BCM then
sends the proper front fog lamp indicator lamp-on
and lamp-off messages to the instrument cluster. For
further diagnosis of the front fog lamp indicator or
the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the
indicator, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). For
proper diagnosis of the front fog lamp system, the
BCM, the PCI data bus, or the electronic message
inputs to the instrument cluster that control the
front fog lamp indicator, a DRBIIItscan tool is
required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic infor-
mation.
FUEL GAUGE
DESCRIPTION
A fuel gauge is standard equipment on all instru-
ment clusters. The fuel gauge is located in the left
lower corner of the instrument cluster, to the left of
the tachometer. The fuel gauge consists of a movable
gauge needle or pointer controlled by the instrument
cluster circuitry and a fixed 90 degree scale on the
cluster overlay that reads left-to-right from E (or
Empty) to F (or Full). An International Control and
Display Symbol icon for ªFuelº is located on the clus-
ter overlay, in the center of the gauge directly above
the hub of the gauge needle. An arrowhead pointed
to the left side of the vehicle is imprinted on the clus-
ter overlay next to the ªFuelº icon in the fuel gauge
to provide the driver with a reminder as to the loca-
tion of the fuel filler access. The fuel gauge graphics
are dark blue and black against a beige field, except
for a single red graduation at the far left (Empty)
end of the gauge scale, making them clearly visible
within the instrument cluster in daylight. When illu-
minated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer
controlled cluster illumination lighting with the exte-
rior lamps turned On, the blue graphics appear blue
and the red graphics appear red. The orange gauge
needle is internally illuminated. Gauge illumination
is provided by replaceable incandescent bulb and
bulb holder units located on the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board. The fuel gauge is serviced as
a unit with the instrument cluster.
KJINSTRUMENT CLUSTER 8J - 19
ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE (Continued)
from the PCM indicating that the Off position of the
overdrive off switch has been selected, the overdrive
off indicator will be illuminated. The indicator
remains illuminated until the cluster receives an
overdrive off lamp-off message from the PCM or until
the ignition switch is turned to the Off position,
whichever occurs first.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the overdrive off indicator
will be turned on, then off again during the bulb
check portion of the test in order to confirm the func-
tionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the overdrive off
switch to determine the proper outputs to the auto-
matic transmission. The PCM then sends the proper
overdrive off lamp-on and lamp-off messages to the
instrument cluster. For further diagnosis of the over-
drive off 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 overdrive con-
trol system, the PCM, the PCI data bus, or the elec-
tronic message inputs to the instrument cluster that
control the overdrive off indicator, a DRBIIItscan
tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information.
REAR FOG LAMP INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A rear fog lamp indicator is standard equipment on
all instrument clusters, but is only functional on
vehicles equipped with the optional rear fog lamps,
which are available only in certain markets where
they are required. The rear fog lamp indicator is
located above the engine temperature gauge and to
the right of the speedometer in the instrument clus-
ter. The rear fog lamp indicator consists of a stencil-
like cutout of the International Control and Display
Symbol icon for ªRear Fog Lightº 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. An amber
Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the
opaque layer of the overlay causes the icon to appear
in amber 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. When the exterior lighting is
turned On, the illumination intensity of the rear fog
lamp indicator is dimmable, which is adjusted using
the panel lamps dimmer control ring on the left con-
trol stalk of the multi-function switch. The rear fog
lamp indicator is serviced as a unit with the instru-
ment cluster.
OPERATION
The rear fog lamp indicator gives an indication to
the vehicle operator whenever the rear fog lamps are
illuminated. This indicator is controlled by a transis-
tor on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board
based upon the cluster programming and electronic
messages received by the cluster from the Body Con-
trol Module (BCM) over the Programmable Commu-
nications Interface (PCI) data bus. The rear fog lamp
indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely
controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit, and
that logic will allow this indicator to operate when-
ever the instrument cluster receives a battery cur-
rent input on the fused B(+) circuit. Therefore, the
LED 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. The instrument cluster will turn on the
rear fog lamp indicator for the following reasons:
²Rear Fog Lamp-On Message- Each time the
cluster receives a rear fog lamp-on message from the
BCM indicating the rear fog lamps are turned On,
the rear fog lamp indicator will be illuminated. The
indicator remains illuminated until the cluster
receives a rear fog lamp-off message from the BCM.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the rear fog lamp 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 BCM continually monitors the exterior light-
ing (multi-function) switch to determine the proper
outputs to the rear fog lamp relay. The BCM then
sends the proper rear fog lamp indicator lamp-on and
lamp-off messages to the instrument cluster. For fur-
ther diagnosis of the rear fog lamp indicator or the
instrument cluster circuitry that controls the indica-
tor, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). For
proper diagnosis of the rear fog lamp system, the
BCM, the PCI data bus, or the electronic message
inputs to the instrument cluster that control the rear
fog lamp indicator, a DRBIIItscan tool is required.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
SEATBELT INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A seatbelt indicator is standard equipment on all
instrument clusters. The seatbelt indicator is located
above the fuel gauge and to the right of the tachom-
eter in the instrument cluster. The seatbelt indicator
consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International
Control and Display Symbol icon for ªSeat Beltº in
the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay.
