Instrument Cluster

A single instrument cluster is offered on this model. The cluster is an electromechanical unit that utilizes integrated circuitry and information carried on the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus network for control of all gauges and many of the indicator lamps. This cluster also incorporates a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) for the digital odometer/ trip odometer display functions. Some variations of this cluster exist due to optional equipment and regulatory requirements.

The cluster includes the following analog gauges:
- Coolant temperature gauge
- Fuel gauge
- Oil pressure gauge
- Speedometer
- Tachometer
- Voltmeter.

This cluster also includes provisions for the following indicator lamps:
- Airbag indicator lamp
- Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) lamp
- Brake warning lamp
- Check gauges lamp
- Cruise-on indicator lamp
- Door ajar lamp
- Four-wheel drive indicator lamps (part-time and full-time)
- Headlamp high beam indicator lamp
- Liftgate ajar lamp
- Low fuel warning lamp
- Low washer fluid warning lamp
- Malfunction indicator (Check Engine) lamp
- Overdrive-off indicator lamp
- Seat belt reminder lamp
- Security lamp
- Transmission oil temperature warning lamp
- Turn signal indicator lamps

The instrument cluster also has a provision for mounting the automatic transmission gear selector indicator in the lower right corner of the cluster.

The instrument cluster circuitry has a self-diagnostic actuator test capability, which will test each of the CCD bus message-controlled functions of the cluster by lighting the appropriate indicator lamps and positioning the gauge needles at several predetermined locations on the gauge faces in a prescribed sequence. For more information on this function, see Instrument Cluster in the Diagnosis and Testing.

The instrument cluster circuitry also sends chime tone requests over a hard wired circuit to the Central Timer Module (CTM) when it monitors certain conditions or inputs. The CTM replaces the chime or buzzer module.

The instrument cluster for this model is serviced only as a complete unit. If a cluster gauge or the cluster circuit board are faulty, the entire cluster must be replaced. Each of the red indicators in the cluster are illuminated by a Light-Emitting Diode (LED). If an LED fails, the entire instrument cluster must be replaced. The cluster lens, the cluster hood, the rear cluster housing cover, and the incandescent lamp bulbs and holders are available for service replacement.
