I don't know how unusual the pcm system is on the Prowler.  When D-C
redesigned the Dodge Dakota truck in '97, they completely revamped
how the dash gauges received signals from the sensors.  Prior to
'97, wiring went directly from sensor to dash pod.  In '97, sensors
sent signals to the pcm, then the pcm sent signals to another
'computer' (the Central Timer Module), then the CTM sent signals
to the gauges.  The CTM on the Dakota is located at the end of
the passenger-side dash beside the glovebox.  Maybe this will help.

The Prowler is a mish-mash of off-the-shelf parts from D-C.
Maybe there's a FSM available for it.
