What kind of CCD bus does Jeep use?
The same two-wire CCD BUS that Chrysler has been using for years on its cars is now being used on Jeeps and trucks, giving today’s Jeep Wrangler a new level of sophistication. If the instrument cluster doesn’t work, first determine which gauges don’t operate or if the whole cluster is down.
What kind of bus does a Jeep Wrangler use?
The same two-wire CCD BUS that Chrysler has been using for years on its cars is now being used on Jeeps and trucks, giving today’s Jeep Wrangler a new level of sophistication. On these vehicles, the BUS bias voltage is produced by the printed circuit board or instrument cluster.
Why does my Jeep Grand Cherokee not start?
It might be the ignition switch, but the Jeep is still driveable. If it was the ignition switch, it would just shut down after a few seconds after starting the engine. I have a 2001 JGC and one day I went to start the Jeep and all the dash board icons were lit up along with all my gauges being dead.
What are the problems with the Jeep Grand Cherokee?
“No CCD/J1850 messages received from the electronic transmission control module (EATX) or the Asian transmission controller)” P1686 – No SKIM BUS Messages Received. “No CCD/J1850 messages received from the Smart Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM)” The smart key system seems to be the issue.
Is the PCI bus on my Jeep Grand Cherokee?
I have a 2000 WJ V8 Grand Cherokee Ltd. It has suffered recently from the dreaded PCI bus issue with the usual gauges all dead, all trouble lights up, power windows not working etc. Have checked all connectors, wiring to doors, battery tested etc.
When does the CCD system go into idle mode?
When the data bus voltage differential is a steady 0.02 volts, the CCD system is considered “idle.” When no input is received from any module and the ignition switch is in the Off position for a pre-programmed length of time, the bus data becomes inactive or enters the ”sleep mode.”
How is the data bus connected to the CCD chip?
The CCD chip contains a differential transmitter/receiver (or transceiver), which is used to send and receive messages. Each module is wired in parallel to the data bus through its CCD chip.
Why is my Sentry Key not connected to the bus?
Eventually I found a company that would remove the sentry key software from the ECU and let it be run without the SKIM connected to the bus (the SKIM is the halo antenna that surrounds the key lock cylinder) because I thought it was bad. Later the guage problem popped up and and started suspecting the BCM.
How can I tell if my instrument cluster is bad?
If all the modules are unplugged and the BUS voltage is still off, separate the connector near the instrument cluster to test the BUS voltage straight out of the printed circuit board. If the voltage returns to normal, there’s a problem with the wiring harness. If it doesn’t, a bad instrument cluster is the problem.
How to diagnose a malfunctioning Jeep instrument?
Put the key in the unlock position, the next position up from lock. (Lock is where you can remove the key.) 2. Depress and hold the trip reset button and turn the key to the on position, but do not start the engine. 3. Release the trip reset button and the tests should start.

Where is the Check Engine light on a Jeep Grand Cherokee?
In Jeep Grand Cherokees, the port is usually found under the steering wheel, near the driver’s side door. After reading the code and diagnosing and fixing the problem, the user can select an option on the scanner to clear all diagnostic codes, which should reset the check engine light.
What to do if your Jeep instrument is off?
If all the modules are unplugged and the BUS voltage is still off, separate the connector near the instrument cluster to test the BUS voltage straight out of the printed circuit board. If the voltage returns to normal, there’s a problem with the wiring harness.
Why is the instrument cluster on my Jeep Cherokee not working?
Checked the fuses, as well as the hot to the cluster from the fuse and back to the battery. Next plan is the grounds and then the connectors. Not liking this instrument panel
Why is the Check Engine light on on my Jeep?
You’re driving along when you notice that orange, engine-shaped icon lights up on your instrument cluster. Once you determine it’s your Jeep check engine light, you might feel alarmed. Or maybe you already know that’s what it is.
Can a check engine light be removed from an instrument cluster?
The cluster acts like a mini-BCM, there will be no easy way to drive a check engine light if you remove the cluster, if you need the check engine light for IM test you will be in trouble, not to mention the fact that you will not know when you have an ECU problem.
Why does my XJ instrument cluster stop working?
I have a 1999 XJ – and the instrument cluster occassionaly stops working — with mine, if you push on it towards the bottom (nearest the odo reset) it will reseat and continue working for months. This is the second instrument cluster – I replaced the original due to the same issue you are experiencing with a used cluster from eBay $35
