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
only)
²Cruise Indicator (with Speed Control Sys-
tem only)
²Four-Wheel Drive Full Time Indicator (with
Selec-Trac Transfer Case only)
²Four-Wheel Drive Low Mode Indicator
²Four-Wheel Drive Part Time Indicator
²Front Fog Lamp Indicator (with Front Fog
Lamps only)
²High Beam Indicator

²Transmission Overtemp Indicator (with
Automatic Transmission only)
²Turn Signal (Right and Left) Indicators
²Wait-To-Start Indicator (with Diesel Engine

²Water-In-Fuel Indicator (with Diesel Engine
only)
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

when it is provided a path to ground by the instru-
ment cluster transistor. The instrument cluster will
turn on the low fuel indicator for the following rea-
sons:
²Bulb Test- Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the low fuel indicator is
illuminated for about three seconds as a bulb test.
²Less Than 12.5 Percent Tank Full Message-
Each time the cluster receives a message from the
PCM indicating that the percent tank full is less
than 12.5 (one-eighth), the low fuel indicator is illu-
minated. The indicator remains illuminated until the
cluster receives messages from the PCM indicating
that the percent tank full has increased to greater
than 12.5 (one-eighth). The PCM applies an algo-
rithm to the input from the fuel tank sender to
dampen the illumination of the low fuel indicator
against the negative effect that fuel sloshing within
the fuel tank can have on accurate inputs to the
PCM.
²Less Than Empty Percent Tank Full Mes-
sage- Each time the cluster receives a message from
the PCM indicating the percent tank full is less than
empty, the low fuel indicator is illuminated immedi-
ately. This message would indicate that the fuel tank
sender input to the PCM is a short circuit.
²More Than Full Percent Tank Full Message
- Each time the cluster receives a message from the
PCM indicating the percent tank full is more than
full, the low fuel indicator is illuminated immedi-
ately. This message would indicate that the fuel tank
sender input to the PCM is an open circuit.
²Communication Error- If the cluster fails to
receive a percent tank full message for more than
about twelve seconds, the cluster control circuitry
will illuminate the low fuel indicator until a new per-
cent tank full message is received, or until the igni-
tion switch is turned to the Off position, whichever
occurs first.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the low fuel 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 PCM continually monitors the fuel tank
sender input to determine the fuel level. The PCM
then applies an algorithm to the input and sends the
proper percent tank full messages to the instrument
cluster. For further diagnosis of the low fuel indicator
or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the
LED, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). For
proper diagnosis of the fuel tank sender, the PCM,
the PCI data bus, or the electronic message inputs to
the instrument cluster that control the low fuel indi-cator, a DRBIIItscan tool is required. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.
LOW OIL PRESSURE
INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A low oil pressure indicator is standard equipment
on all instrument clusters. The low oil pressure indi-
cator is located near the lower edge of the instrument
cluster, between the tachometer and the speedometer.
The low oil pressure indicator consists of a stencil-
like cutout of the International Control and Display
Symbol icon for ªEngine Oilº 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 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 low oil pressure indica-
tor is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
OPERATION
The low oil pressure indicator gives an indication
to the vehicle operator when the engine oil pressure
is low. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on
the instrument cluster electronic circuit board based
upon cluster programming and electronic messages
received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) over the Programmable Communica-
tions Interface (PCI) data bus. The low oil pressure
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
low oil pressure indicator for the following reasons:
²Bulb Test- Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the low oil pressure indica-
tor is illuminated as a bulb test. The indicator will
remain illuminated until the engine is started
(engine speed is greater than 450 rpm), or until the
ignition switch is turned to the Off position, which-
ever occurs first.
²Engine Oil Pressure Low Message- Once the
engine has been started (engine speed has been
greater than 450 rpm), each time the cluster receives
KJINSTRUMENT CLUSTER 8J - 23
LOW FUEL INDICATOR (Continued)

three consecutive messages from the PCM indicating
that the engine oil pressure is about 4 kPa or lower
(about 0.6 psi or lower), the low oil pressure indicator
is illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated
until the cluster receives a single message from the
PCM indicating that the engine oil pressure is about
76 kPa or higher (about 11 psi or higher), or until the
ignition switch is turned to the Off position, which-
ever occurs first. Once the cluster monitors and
engine speed of greater than 450 rpm, the cluster
logic will ignore engine speed in determining low oil
pressure indicator operation for the remainder of the
current ignition cycle.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the low oil pressure indi-
cator will be turned on, then off again during the
bulb check portion of the test to confirm the function-
ality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the engine oil pres-
sure sensor to determine the engine oil pressure. The
PCM then sends the proper engine oil pressure mes-
sages to the instrument cluster. For further diagnosis
of the low oil pressure indicator or the instrument
cluster circuitry that controls the LED, (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNO-
SIS AND TESTING). If the instrument cluster turns
on the indicator after the bulb test, it may indicate
that the engine or the engine oiling system requires
service. For proper diagnosis of the engine oil pres-
sure sensor, the PCM, the PCI data bus, or the elec-
tronic message inputs to the instrument cluster that
control the low oil pressure indicator, a DRBIIItscan
tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR
LAMP (MIL)
DESCRIPTION
A Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is standard
equipment on all instrument clusters. The MIL is
located above the coolant temperature gauge and to
the right of the speedometer in the instrument clus-
ter. The MIL consists of a stencil-like cutout of the
International Control and Display Symbol icon for
ªEngineº in the opaque layer of the instrument clus-
ter overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay pre-
vents 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 sol-
dered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuitboard. The MIL is serviced as a unit with the instru-
ment cluster.
OPERATION
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) gives an
indication to the vehicle operator when the Power-
train Control Module (PCM) has recorded a Diagnos-
tic Trouble Code (DTC) for an On-Board Diagnostics
II (OBDII) emissions-related circuit or component
malfunction. This indicator is controlled by a transis-
tor on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board
based upon cluster programming and electronic mes-
sages received by the cluster from the PCM over the
Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data
bus. The MIL Light Emitting Diode (LED) is com-
pletely controlled by the instrument cluster logic cir-
cuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to
operate when the instrument cluster receives a bat-
tery current input on the fused ignition switch out-
put (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED will
always be off when the ignition switch is in any posi-
tion except On or Start. The LED only illuminates
when it is provided a path to ground by the instru-
ment cluster transistor. The instrument cluster will
turn on the MIL for the following reasons:
²Bulb Test- Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the MIL is illuminated for
about seven seconds as a bulb test.
²PCM Lamp-On Message- Each time the clus-
ter receives a malfunction indicator lamp-on message
from the PCM, the indicator will be illuminated. The
indicator can be flashed on and off, or illuminated
solid, as dictated by the PCM message. For some
DTC's, if a problem does not recur, the PCM will
send a lamp-off message automatically. Other DTC's
may require that a fault be repaired and the PCM be
reset before a lamp-off message will be sent. For
more information on the PCM and the DTC set and
reset parameters, (Refer to 25 - EMISSIONS CON-
TROL - OPERATION).
²Communication Error- If the cluster receives
no malfunction indicator lamp-on or lamp-off mes-
sage from the PCM for twenty consecutive seconds,
the MIL is illuminated by the instrument cluster.
The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by
the cluster until a valid malfunction indicator
lamp-on or lamp-off message is received from the
PCM.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the MIL 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 PCM continually monitors each of the many
fuel and emissions system circuits and sensors to
decide whether the system is in good operating con-

DRL relay is energized, it provides battery current
from a fused B(+) fuse in the JB to the headlamp
high beam filament through the DRL relay output
circuit.
FRONT FOG LAMPS
Vehicles equipped with optional front fog lamps
have a premium Body Control Module (BCM), a front
fog lamp relay installed in the Junction Block (JB),
and a front fog lamp switch integral to the left (light-
ing) control stalk of the multi-function switch. The
front fog lamps have a path to ground at all times
through their connection to the front fascia wire har-
ness from two take outs of the headlamp and dash
wire harness with eyelet terminal connectors that
are secured by ground screws to the left inner fender
shield in the engine compartment. The BCM controls
front fog lamp operation by monitoring the exterior
lighting switch input from the multi-function switch,
then energizing or de-energizing the front fog lamp
relay control coil; and, by sending the appropriate
electronic message to the instrument cluster over the
Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data
bus to turn the front fog lamp indicator on or off.
When the front fog lamp relay is energized, it pro-
vides battery current from a fused B(+) fuse in the
JB to the front fog lamps through the front fog lamp
relay output circuit. The BCM provides a battery
saver (load shedding) feature for the front fog lamps,
which will turn these lamps off if they are left on for
more than about eight minutes with the ignition
switch in the Off position. In certain markets where
required, the front fog lamps are also turned off by
the BCM whenever the headlamp high beams are
selected. Each front fog lamp includes an integral
adjustment screw to be used for static aiming the fog
lamp beams.
HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
With the hazard switch in the On position, the
hazard warning system is activated causing the haz-
ard switch button illumination lamp, the right and
left turn signal indicators, and the right and left turn
signal lamps to flash on and off. When the hazard
warning system is activated, the circuitry within the
hazard switch and electronic combination flasher
unit will repeatedly energize and de-energize two
internal relays that switch battery current from a
fused B(+) fuse in the Junction Block (JB) to the
right side and left side turn signal indicators, and
turn signal lamps through the right and left turn sig-
nal circuits. The flashing of the hazard switch button
illumination lamp is performed internally by the haz-
ard switch and combination flasher unit circuit
board. The hazard warning lamps can also be ener-
gized by the Body Control Module (BCM) through ahazard lamp control circuit input to the hazard
switch and combination flasher unit.
HEADLAMPS
The headlamp system includes the Body Control
Module (BCM), a low beam relay installed in the
Junction Block (JB), a high beam relay installed in
the JB (except Canada), a solid state Daytime Run-
ning Lamps (DRL) relay installed in the JB (Canada
only), and the exterior lighting (headlamp and dim-
mer) switches integral to the left (lighting) control
stalk of the multi-function switch. The headlamp
bulbs have a path to ground at all times through
their connection to the grille opening reinforcement
wire harness from two take outs of the headlamp and
dash wire harness with eyelet terminal connectors
that are secured by ground screws to the left inner
fender shield in the engine compartment. The BCM
controls the headlamp operation by monitoring the
exterior lighting switch inputs from the multi-func-
tion switch, then energizing or de-energizing the con-
trol coils of the low beam relay, the high beam relay,
or the solid state circuitry of the DRL relay; and, by
sending the appropriate electronic message to the
instrument cluster over the Programmable Commu-
nications Interface (PCI) data bus to turn the high
beam indicator on or off. When each respective relay
is energized, it provides battery current from a fused
B(+) fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC)
through a relay (low beam, high beam, or DRL) out-
put circuit and four separate fuses in the JB through
individual fused right and left, low and high beam
output circuits to the appropriate headlamp bulb fil-
aments. The BCM provides a battery saver (load
shedding) feature for the headlamps, which will turn
these lamps off if they are left on for more than
about eight minutes with the ignition switch in the
Off position; and, a headlamp delay feature with a
DRBIIItscan tool programmable delay interval.
Each headlamp includes an integral adjustment
screw to be used for static aiming of the headlamp
beams.
HEADLAMP LEVELING
In certain markets where required, a headlamp
leveling system is provided on the vehicle. The head-
lamp leveling system includes unique headlamp units
equipped with a headlamp leveling actuator motor,
and a rotary thumbwheel actuated headlamp leveling
switch on the instrument panel. The headlamp level-
ing system allows the headlamp beams to be
adjusted to one of four vertical positions to compen-
sate for changes in inclination caused by the loading
of the vehicle suspension. The actuator motors are
mechanically connected through an integral pushrod
to an adjustable headlamp reflector. The headlamp

leveling switch is a resistor multiplexed unit that
provides one of four voltage outputs to the headlamp
leveling motors. The headlamp leveling motors will
move the headlamps to the selected position based
upon the voltage input received from the switch. The
headlamp leveling motors and switch have a path to
ground at all times. The headlamp leveling compo-
nents operate on battery current received through
the fused park lamp relay output circuit so that the
system will only operate when the exterior lighting is
turned on.
PARK LAMPS
The park lamps system includes the Body Control
Module (BCM), a park lamp relay installed in the
Junction Block (JB), and the exterior lighting switch
integral to the left (lighting) control stalk of the
multi-function switch. The front park lamp and side
marker or, if equipped, the front position lamp bulbs
each have a path to ground at all times through their
connections to the grille opening reinforcement wire
harness from two take outs of the headlamp and
dash wire harness with eyelet terminal connectors
that are secured by ground screws to the left inner
fender shield in the engine compartment. The rear
park lamp bulbs and license plate lamp have a path
to ground at all times through their connection to the
rear lighting wire harness from a take out of the rear
body wire harness with an eyelet terminal connector
that is secured by a ground screw to the base of the
right D-pillar behind the quarter trim panel. The
BCM controls the park lamp operation by monitoring
the exterior lighting switch inputs from the multi-
function switch, then energizing or de-energizing the
control coil of the park lamp relay. When the park
lamp relay is energized, it provides battery current
from a fused B(+) fuse in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) through a park lamp relay output cir-
cuit and a separate fuse in the JB through a fused
park lamp relay output circuit to the appropriate
lamp bulb filaments. The BCM provides a battery
saver (load shedding) feature for the park lamps,
which will turn these lamps off if they are left on for
more than about eight minutes with the ignition
switch in the Off position.
REAR FOG LAMPS
Rear fog lamps are installed on vehicles manufac-
tured for certain markets where they are required.
The rear fog lamp system includes a premium Body
Control Module (BCM), a rear fog lamp relay
installed in the Junction Block (JB), and a rear fog
lamp switch integral to the left (lighting) control
stalk of the multi-function switch. The rear fog lamps
have a path to ground at all times through their con-
nection to the rear lighting wire harness from a takeout of the rear body wire harness with an eyelet ter-
minal connector that is secured by a ground screw to
the base of the right D-pillar behind the quarter trim
panel. The BCM controls rear fog lamp operation by
monitoring the exterior lighting switch input from
the multi-function switch, then energizing or de-ener-
gizing the rear fog lamp relay control coil; and, by
sending the appropriate electronic message to the
instrument cluster over the Programmable Commu-
nications Interface (PCI) data bus to turn the rear
fog lamp indicator on or off. When the rear fog lamp
relay is energized, it provides battery current from a
fused B(+) fuse in the JB to the rear fog lamps
through the rear fog lamp relay output circuit. The
BCM provides a battery saver (load shedding) feature
for the rear fog lamps, which will turn these lamps
off if they are left on for more than about eight min-
utes with the ignition switch in the Off position.
TURN SIGNAL LAMPS
When the left control stalk of the multi-function
switch is moved up (right turn) or down (left turn),
the turn signal system is activated causing the
selected right or left turn signal indicator, and right
or left turn signal lamps to flash on and off. When
the turn signal system is activated, the circuitry
within the turn signal switch and the hazard switch/
electronic combination flasher unit will repeatedly
energize and de-energize one of two internal relays
that switch battery current from a fused ignition
switch output (run) fuse in the Junction Block (JB) to
the right side or left side turn signal indicators and
turn signal lamps through the right or left turn sig-
nal circuits. The ElectroMechanical Instrument Clus-
ter (EMIC) chime tone generator will generate an
audible turn signal cancel warning each time the
vehicle is driven for a distance of about 3.2 kilome-
ters (about two miles) with a turn signal indicator
flashing. The EMIC uses Programmable Communica-
tions Interface (PCI) data bus distance messages
from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and a
hard wired input from the turn signal switch cir-
cuitry of the multi-function switch to determine when
to sound the turn signal cancel warning.

fender shield in the engine compartment. The BCM
controls the headlamp operation by monitoring the
exterior lighting switch inputs from the multi-func-
tion switch, then energizing or de-energizing the con-
trol coils of the low beam relay, the high beam relay,
or the solid state circuitry of the DRL relay; and, by
sending the appropriate electronic message to the
instrument cluster over the Programmable Commu-
nications Interface (PCI) data bus to turn the high
beam indicator on or off. When each respective relay
is energized, it provides battery current from a fused
B(+) fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC)
through a relay (low beam, high beam, or DRL) out-
put circuit and four separate fuses in the JB through
individual fused right and left, low and high beam
output circuits to the appropriate headlamp bulb fil-
aments. The BCM provides a battery saver (load
shedding) feature for the headlamps, which will turn
these lamps off if they are left on for more than
about eight minutes with the ignition switch in the
Off position; and, a headlamp delay feature with a
DRBIIItscan tool programmable delay interval.
Each headlamp includes an integral adjustment
screw to be used for static aiming of the headlamp
beams.
HEADLAMP LEVELING
In certain markets where required, a headlamp
leveling system is provided on the vehicle. The head-
lamp leveling system includes unique headlamp units
equipped with a headlamp leveling actuator motor,
and a rotary thumbwheel actuated headlamp leveling
switch on the instrument panel. The headlamp level-
ing system allows the headlamp beams to be
adjusted to one of four vertical positions to compen-
sate for changes in inclination caused by the loading
of the vehicle suspension. The actuator motors are
mechanically connected through an integral pushrod
to an adjustable headlamp reflector. The headlamp
leveling switch is a resistor multiplexed unit that
provides one of four voltage outputs to the headlamp
leveling motors. The headlamp leveling motors will
