OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves installing a repair harness containing a revised instrument cluster
connector.
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
Some vehicles may exhibit an intermittent illumination of the air bag warning light or an
intermittent tachometer or speedometer drop out. An Airbag Electronic Control Module (AECM)
fault code -"No Cluster CCD BUS " message will be present.
DIAGNOSIS:
Using the DRB III®, read and record all active and stored fault codes in the AECM. This
condition is caused by minor oxidation of the BUS circuit terminals at the instrument cluster
connector. Electrical terminals will show signs of oxidation, which will appear as darkened lines
or marks on the cluster male terminals. These often appear as gray or black marks rather than the
appearance of oxidation or corrosion usually associated with higher current carrying circuits.
This condition will set a "NO CLUSTER CCD BUS" message. The fault code will usually be
stored and not active. THIS TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WILL NOT ADDRESS
FUEL OR OIL PRESSURE GAUGE ISSUES. If this fault code is present, either active or
stored perform the Repair Procedure.
PARTS REQUIRED:
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
THIS REPAIR IS COMPATIBLE WITH DAIMLERCHRYSLER'S
MOBILE SERVICE PROGRAM AND DOES NOT REQUIRE HOISTS OR
OTHER FULL SERVICE FACILITY SPECIAL EQUIPMENT.
8. Stagger cut the main harness and patch harness wires so that the solder joints will be 1/2
inch apart. Remove 1/2 inch of insulation from the wires. The new harness will have a
dark blue with no tracer. This will mate with a dark blue wire with a green tracer on TJ
and with a dark blue wire with a white tracer on XJ.
9. Slide a piece of heat shrink tubing over the wires and twist the wires together for each
respective circuit.
10. Solder each circuit using rosin core solder. Be sure to heat the wire enough to allow the
solder to melt when it comes in contact with wire. Do not use acid core solder.
11. Position the heat shrink tubing over the solder joints and shrink the tubing using a heat
gun.
12. Install the connector to the bracket.
13. Install the instrument cluster.
14. Connect the battery cable.
15. Verify correct operation of the cluster.
