No: 08-15-99 subject: erratic, intermittent cluster operation/intermittent air bag warning light. Date: may 21, 1999 this bulletin supersedes technical service bulletin number 08-20-98 rev. A, dated october 2, 1998, which should be removed from your files and noted in the bound technical service bulletin book, publication number 81-699-99003. This is a complete revision to the procedure. 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. This service bulletin is common with all jeeps. There are many jeep owners with this very problem.
Passenger air bag went off while driving down the road in my 1999 jeep cherokee chrysler investigated and said that nothing was wrong and won't do anything to repair. But I know there was something wrong because smoke came out of the air bag module and still smell burning wires dealership said that jeep had known recall that said was performed and never was found recall on your web site it said possible air bag light or air bag deployment do to corrosion and the module was supposed to be moved to transmission tunnel but never was done and you can see corrosion all over module. And chrysler would not say if it is safe to drive I would like to know what I should do this is a safety issue.
Randomly while driving the speedometer and tachometer (actually all gauges) will stop working, the airbag light comes on and sometimes the check engine light comes on too. If you hit the dashboard (sometimes it takes several hits) the gauges will start working again and the airbag light goes off. Haven't had it checked by a shop yet.
I have a 1999 jeep cherokee, the air bag light comes on and off. I have recently discovered that this is occuring to other jeep products.
While driving the check engine light and air bag light illuminated and all of the gauges ceased to work properly. The speedometer would go blank and all lights on the dash board would dim. The manufacturer and the dealer are aware of the problem. *nm this would occur when the vehicle is going in different speeds. The problem begun with the airbag, followed by the odometer, tachometer, and the speedometer dropping to zero. Then the check engine light would come on and "no bus" error message would appear on the odometer. Sometimes the gas, battery, temperature, and oil pressure gauge would fail as well. The problem would last from anywhere up to forty minutes or more. Corrosion was found where the harness plugs into the cluster. The vehicle had been to the dealer four times and still has not been repaired.
Consumer states that while driving t air bag warning light would come on. Dealer notified.
Since jan. 2000, the vehicle gauges have intermittingly failed ie, not registering reading to include speed, mileage, water temperature, oil pressure, tachometer and air bag light and check engine light illuminate. Sometimes, if I keep air conditioner at coolest level the gauges will resume operation.
While driving all guages have guit registering and airbag light comes; tachometer and spedometer don't register anything; volt, oil pres., gas, and temp all stick where they are when guages shut off. When this happens airbag light comes on in dash. When guages come back on airbag light goes out. This has happened four times in the past week. The last three times occured in one day. Notified local jeep dealer of problem twice. Blown off first time. Second time said no qualified people on hand to check out problem. Gave me appointment for three weeks from that day.
