tromagneti c coi l s are l ocated wi thi n the gauge. These
coi l s are wrapped at ri ght angl es to each other
around a movabl e permanent magnet. The movabl e
magnet i s suspended wi thi n the coi l s on one end of a
shaft. The gauge needl e i s attached to the other end
of the shaft.
GENERAL INFORMATION (Continued)
One of the coi l s has a fi xed current fl owi ng
through i t to mai ntai n a constant magneti c fi el d
strength. Current fl ow through the second coi l
changes, whi ch causes changes i n i ts magneti c fi el d

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The cool ant temperature gauge gi ves an i ndi cati on
of the engi ne cool ant temperature. The i nstrument
cl uster ci rcui try control s the gauge poi nter posi ti on.
The i nstrument cl uster ci rcui try cal cul ates the
proper gauge poi nter posi ti on based upon an engi ne
cool ant temperature message recei ved from the Pow-
ertrai n Control Modul e (PCM) on the Chrysl er Col l i -
si on Detecti on (CCD) data bus.
The PCM uses an i nput from the engi ne cool ant
temperature sensor and i nternal programmi ng to
deci de what engi ne cool ant temperature message i s
requi red. The PCM then sends the proper message to
the i nstrument cl uster and the Body Control Modul e
(BCM) on the CCD data bus.
The BCM al so moni tors the PCM engi ne cool ant
temperature messages. I f the PCM message i ndi cates
that cool ant temperature i s hi gh or cri ti cal , the BCM
sends a message to the i nstrument cl uster to turn on
the Check Gauges l amp and to move the cool ant tem-
perature gauge needl e to the correspondi ng hi gh or
cri ti cal posi ti on of the gauge scal e.
The engi ne cool ant temperature sensor i s i nstal l ed
i n a threaded hol e that penetrates a cool ant passage
of the engi ne. I t i s a thermi stor-type sensor that
changes i ts i nternal resi stance wi th changes i n
engi ne cool ant temperature. Refer to Group 14 - Fuel
Systems for more i nformati on on the PCM and the
cool ant temperature sensor.
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge gi ves an i ndi cati on of the l evel of
fuel i n the fuel tank. The i nstrument cl uster ci rcui try
control s the gauge poi nter posi ti on. The i nstrument
cl uster ci rcui try cal cul ates the proper gauge poi nter
posi ti on based upon a fuel l evel message recei ved
from the Powertrai n Control Modul e (PCM) on the
Chrysl er Col l i si on Detecti on (CCD) data bus.
The PCM uses an i nput from the fuel gauge send-
i ng uni t and i nternal programmi ng to deci de what
fuel l evel message i s requi red. The PCM then sends
the proper message to the i nstrument cl uster and the
Body Control Modul e (BCM) on the CCD data bus.
The BCM moni tors the PCM fuel l evel messages. I f
the PCM message i ndi cates that the that the fuel
l evel i s bel ow one-ei ghth of a ful l tank, the BCM
i ssues a si ngl e audi bl e l ow fuel chi me tone and sends
a message to the i nstrument cl uster to turn on the
l ow fuel warni ng l amp. I f the PCM detects a short or
open i n the fuel l evel sendi ng uni t ci rcui t, i t sends a
message on the CCD data bus that wi l l cause the
i nstrument cl uster ci rcui try to posi ti on the fuel
gauge needl e at the Empty stop.
The fuel gauge sendi ng uni t i s mounted to the el ec-
tri c fuel pump modul e l ocated i nsi de the fuel tank.
The sendi ng uni t has a fl oat attached to the end of a
swi ng-arm. The fl oat moves up or down wi thi n the
fuel tank as the fuel l evel changes. As the fl oat
moves, an el ectri cal contact on the pi vot end of the
swi ng-arm wi pes across a resi stor coi l , whi ch changes
the i nternal el ectri cal resi stance of the sendi ng uni t.
Refer to Group 14 - Fuel Systems for more i nforma-
ti on on the PCM and for the fuel gauge sendi ng uni t
servi ce procedures.
ODOMETER AND TRIP ODOMETER
The odometer and the tri p odometer share the
same vacuum fl uorescent di gi tal di spl ay tube i n the
i nstrument cl uster ci rcui t board. Each gi ves an i ndi -
cati on of the di stance the vehi cl e has travel l ed. How-
ever, by depressi ng the reset knob on the face of the
i nstrument cl uster, the di spl ay mode can be swi tched
from odometer to tri p odometer. Depressi ng the reset
knob for l onger than two seconds whi l e i n the tri p
odometer mode wi l l reset the tri p odometer to zero.
The odometer and tri p odometer di spl ay val ues are
based on di stance messages recei ved from the Body
Control Modul e (BCM) on the Chrysl er Col l i si on
Detecti on (CCD) data bus.
The BCM uses a di stance pul se message rel ayed

what di stance message i s requi red. The PCM
recei ves the di stance pul se si gnal i nput from the
Vehi cl e Speed Sensor (VSS) to rel ay to the BCM on
the CCD data bus. The BCM stores both the odome-
ter and tri p odometer di stance i nformati on and sends
the proper val ue to the i nstrument cl uster based
upon i gni ti on key-on and tri p odometer reset knob
messages recei ved on the CCD data bus.
