Chrysler Pacifica. Manual - part 503

• The system has been deactivated to prevent

damage to the brake system due to overheated brake
temperatures.

TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS (Fig. 15) - The

arrow will flash with the exterior turn signal when
the turn signal lever is operated. If the vehicle elec-
tronics sense that the vehicle has traveled about one
mile with the turn signals on, a chime will sound to
alert you to turn the signals off. If either indicator
flashes at a rapid rate, check for a defective outside
light bulb.

TEMPERATURE GAUGE (Fig. 1) - This Light

Emitting Diode (LED) monitors the electrical system
voltage. The LED should turn on momentarily as the
engine is started. If the LED stays on or turns on
while driving, it indicates a problem with the charg-
ing system. Immediate service should be obtained.
The gauge pointer will likely indicate a higher tem-
perature when driving in hot weather, up mountain
grades, or when towing a trailer. It should not be
allowed to exceed the upper limits of the normal
operating range.

FUEL GAUGE (Fig. 1) - The pointer shows the

level of fuel in the fuel tank when the ignition switch
is in the ON position.

SPEEDOMETER

(Fig.

Indicates

vehicle

speed.

TACHOMETER (Fig. 1) - The red segments indi-

cate the maximum permissible engine revolutions-
per-minute (r.p.m. x 1000) for each gear range.
Before reaching the red area, ease up on the acceler-
ator.

TRANSMISSION RANGE INDICATOR (Fig. 1) -

This Vacuum Fluorescent (VF) display indicator
shows the automatic transmission gear selection.

AUTOSTICK INDICATOR - This Vacuum Fluo-

rescent (VF) display indicator illuminates when the
gearshift lever is moved to the AutoStick position.

ODOMETER/TRIP ODOMETER (Fig. 1) - The

odometer shows the total distance the vehicle has
been driven. It is a Vacuum Fluorescent (VF) display.
The two trip odometers show individual trip mileage.
To switch from odometer to trip odometers, press and
release the Trip Odometer button. To reset a trip
odometer, display the desired trip odometer to be

reset then push and hold the button until the display
resets (approximately 2 seconds).

TRIP ODOMETER BUTTON (Fig. 1) - Press this

button to change the display from odometer to either
of the two trip odometer settings. The word TRIP
and either “A” or “B” will appear when in the trip
odometer mode. Push in and hold the button for two
seconds to reset the trip odometer to 0 miles or kilo-
meters. The odometer must be in trip mode to reset.

CRUISE INDICATOR (Fig. 1) - This Vacuum Flu-

orescent (VF) display indicator shows that the Speed
Control System is ON.

NAVIGATION SCREEN (Fig. 1) - Displays the

current navigation system functions.

ELECTRONIC

VEHICLE

INFORMATION

CENTER (EVIC) DISPLAY (Fig. 1) - When the
appropriate conditions exist, this Vacuum Fluores-
cent (VF) display shows the Electronic Vehicle Infor-
mation Center (EVIC) messages.

ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER

The EVIC has access to both non-switched and

ignition switched sources of battery current so that
some of its features remain operational at any time,
while others may only operate with the ignition
switch in the ON position. When the ignition switch
is turned to the ON position, the EVIC display will
return to the last function being displayed before the
ignition was turned to the OFF position.

For more information on the features, control func-

tions and setting procedures for the EVIC, see the
owner’s manual in the vehicle glove box.

WARNING

This vehicle contains mercury added devices

added by the manufacturer: navigation display
within the instrument cluster. Remove devices
before

vehicle

disposal.

Upon

removal

devices, please reuse, recycle, or dispose of as
hazardous waste.

The instrument cluster produces 230 volts.

Proper care should be taken when working
around, near, or with the instrument cluster.
Follow steps outlined in the body diagnostic
information when testing. Failure to follow
safety

procedures

could

result

personal

injury or death.

Always disconnect and isolate the battery

negative cable prior to any airbag system,
instrument panel, steering column, or cluster
removal. Wait two minutes to allow the airbag
system reserve capacitor to discharge before
beginning service. Failure to do so could result
in personal injury or death.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ELECTRONIC
VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER

A DRB III

t scan tool is required for checking the

PCI Data Bus circuit and the EVIC.

(1) Remove the instrument cluster. Check for bat-

tery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit cavity of the
cluster. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the
open fused B(+) circuit as required.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.

Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit cav-
ity of the cluster and a good ground. There should be
continuity. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the
open ground circuit as required.

(3) Connect negative battery cable. Turn the igni-

tion switch to the On position. Check for battery volt-
age at the fused ignition switch output (run/start)
circuit cavity of the cluster. If OK, the voltage and
ground supply to the cluster is OK at this time. If
not OK, repair the open fused ignition switch output
(run/start) circuit as required.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER SELF-TEST

The Instrument Cluster will illuminate all indica-

tors and step the gauges through several calibration
points. Also, the odometer will display any stored
codes that may have set.

(1) With the ignition OFF, Depress and hold the

Odometer Reset button for 10 seconds.

(2) Release the Odometer reset button.

REMOVAL

(1) Remove cluster bezel (Refer to 23 - BODY/IN-

STRUMENT

PANEL/CLUSTER

BEZEL

REMOVAL).

(2) Remove four nuts to the column and lower to

the seat.

(3) Remove the two electrical connectors from the

bottom of the cluster accessed from underneath
instrument panel (Fig. 16).

(4) Remove the four retaining screws to the cluster

(Fig. 17).

(5) Pull cluster straight out of the instrument

panel opening (Fig. 18). Be careful not to scratch the
cluster face.

INSTALLATION

(1) Place cluster straight into cluster opening in

instrument panel (Fig. 18). Be careful not to scratch
the cluster face.

(2) Install the four retaining screws to the cluster

(Fig. 17).

(3) Install the two electrical connectors to the bot-

tom of the cluster accessed from underneath instru-
ment panel (Fig. 16).

(4) Raise the column and install four nuts.
(5) Install the cluster bezel (Refer to 23 - BODY/

INSTRUMENT PANEL SWITCH
POD

DESCRIPTION

The Instrument Panel Switch Pod is a Multiplexed

(MUX) switch assembly also containing the clock and
hazard switch. It is located within the instrument clus-
ter switch bezel just to the right of the instrument clus-
ter. The switch pod is hard wired to other vehicle
modules (Body Control Module (BCM), Electronic Vehi-
cle Information Center Module (EVIC), Navigation Mod-
ule (NAV), and Instrument Cluster (IC).

The EVIC function buttons are labeled US/M, MENU,

STEP, and RESET (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVER-
HEAD CONSOLE/COMPASS/MINI-TRIP COMPUTER -
DESCRIPTION). The Navigation function buttons are
labeled NAV, CANCEL, ENTER, scroll left, scroll up,
scroll right, and scroll down (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
NAVIGATION/TELECOMMUNICATION

DESCRIP-

TION). The Analog Clock consists of an hour and minute
hand with one time adjust button (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/CLOCK - DESCRIPTION). The Hazard Switch is
designated with a red triangle and is a push ON/push
OFF switch (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHT-
ING - EXTERIOR/HAZARD SWITCH - DESCRIPTION).
The Passenger Airbag Disabled (PAD) Indicator is an
amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) that illuminates
when the passenger airbag and seat belt tensioner are
disabled due to the Occupant Classification System
(OCS) (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS/PASS
AIRBAG ON/OFF INDICATOR - DESCRIPTION). The
VTSS/SKIS Indicator is used to telltale the two systems
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE THEFT SECURI-
TY/SKIS INDICATOR LAMP - DESCRIPTION).

The switch pod is available in different configurations:
• Base Switch Pod - US/Metric button, Hazard

Switch, PAD Indicator (if equipped with OCS), and
VTSS/SKIS Indicator Lamp (if equipped) (Fig. 20).

• Switch Pod without Navigation - EVIC,

Clock, Hazard Switch, PAD Indicator (if equipped
with OCS), and VTSS/SKIS Indicator Lamp (if
equipped) (Fig. 21).

• Switch Pod with Navigation - EVIC, Naviga-

tion,

Clock,

Hazard

Switch,

PAD

Indicator

(if

equipped with OCS), and VTSS/SKIS Indicator Lamp
(if equipped) (Fig. 22).
