GENERAL INFORMATION
MECHANICAL CLUSTER
The mechanical cluster includes a fuel, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and voltmeter gauges. All incorporate magnetic type gauges. When the ignition switch is in the OFF position, the gauges will show a reading; however, the readings are only accurate when the ignition switch is in the ON position.
The mechanical cluster also includes an electric speedometer, driven by pulses from the distance sensor (Fig. 1).

ELECTRONIC CLUSTER
The electronic cluster is easily distinguished from the mechanical cluster by its digital and linear display. The electronic cluster includes:
²Oil pressure gauge
²Coolant temperature gauge
²Voltmeter
²Fuel gauge
The electronic cluster receives virtually all of its information to display from the body controller and engine controller via the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) Serial Data Bus. The odometer memory is no longer retained in the cluster. This is now retained in the body controller (Fig. 2).
ELECTRONIC CLUSTER DIMMING
The electronic cluster display is dimmed from daytime to night time intensity when the headlamp

switch is turned on. This intensity can be controlled using the headlamp switch rheostat.
An additional detent on the headlamp switch rheostat will allow daytime intensity while driving with headlamps on during the daytime.
WARNING LAMPS
The mechanical instrument cluster will have warning lamps for six systems. These include brake system, air bag, seat belt, low fuel, anti-lock for optional anti-lock brake system, and check engine power loss. The cluster also includes check gages indicator which will illuminate in a warning situation. This will notify driver to check for a problem in coolant temperature, oil pressure, or electrical systems.
The electronic cluster will have warning indicator lamps for eight different systems. These include:
²Air Bag
²Low washer fluid
²Door/deck lid ajar
²Check engine power loss
²Brake system
²Seat belt
²Anti-lock for optional anti-lock brake system
²Check gages, monitors engine coolant, oil pressure and electrical charging system failures.
In addition, ISO symbol will flash to notify the driver in event of:
²Low fuel
²High temperature
²Low oil pressure
²Charging system failure
