DESCRIPTION - VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL
INFORMATION LABEL
All models have a Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) Label. Chrysler permanently attaches
the label in the engine compartment. It cannot be
removed without defacing information and destroying
the label.
The label contains the vehicle’s emission specifications and vacuum hose routings. All hoses must be
connected and routed according to the label.
DESCRIPTION - TRIP DEFINITION
A “Trip” means vehicle operation (following an
engine-off period) of duration and driving mode such
that all components and systems are monitored at
least once by the diagnostic system. The monitors
must successfully pass before the PCM can verify
that a previously malfunctioning component is meeting the normal operating conditions of that component. For misfire or fuel system malfunction, the
MIL may be extinguished if the fault does not recur
when monitored during three subsequent sequential
driving cycles in which conditions are similar to
those under which the malfunction was first determined.
Anytime the MIL is illuminated, a DTC is stored.
The DTC can self erase only after the MIL has been
extinguished. Once the MIL is extinguished, the
PCM must pass the diagnostic test for the most
recent DTC for 40 warm-up cycles (80 warm-up
cycles for the Fuel System Monitor and the Misfire
Monitor). A warm-up cycle can best be described by
the following:
• The engine must be running

• A rise of 40°F in engine temperature must occur
from the time when the engine was started
• Engine coolant temperature must crossover 160°F
• A “driving cycle” that consists of engine start up
and engine shut off.
Once the above conditions occur, the PCM is considered to have passed a warm-up cycle. Due to the
conditions required to extinguish the MIL and erase
the DTC, it is most important that after a repair has
been made, all DTC’s be erased and the repair verified by running 1–good trip.
DESCRIPTION - MONITORED COMPONENT
There are several components that will affect vehicle emissions if they malfunction. If one of these components malfunctions the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (Check Engine) will illuminate.
Some of the component monitors are checking for
proper operation of the part. Electrically operated
components now have input (rationality) and output
(functionality) checks. Previously, a component like
the Throttle Position sensor (TPS) was checked by
the PCM for an open or shorted circuit. If one of
these conditions occurred, a DTC was set. Now there
is a check to ensure that the component is working.
This is done by watching for a TPS indication of a
greater or lesser throttle opening than MAP and
engine rpm indicate. In the case of the TPS, if engine
vacuum is low and engine rpm is 1600 or greater and
the TPS indicates a small throttle opening, a DTC
will be set. The same applies to low vacuum and
1600 rpm.
Any component that has an associated limp in will
set a fault after 1 trip with the malfunction present.

Powertrain Diagnostic Procedure Manual for diagnostic procedures.

The following is a list of the monitored components:
• Comprehensive Components
• Oxygen Sensor Monitor
• Oxygen Sensor Heater Monitor
• Catalyst Monitor
COMPREHENSIVE COMPONENTS
Along with the major monitors, OBD II requires
that the diagnostic system monitor any component
that could affect emissions levels. In many cases,
these components were being tested under OBD I.
The OBD I requirements focused mainly on testing
emissions-related components for electrical opens and
shorts.
However, OBD II also requires that inputs from
powertrain components to the PCM be tested for
rationality, and that outputs to powertrain components from the PCM be tested for functionality.
Methods for monitoring the various Comprehensive
Component monitoring include:
(1) Circuit Continuity
• Open
• Shorted high
• Shorted to ground
(2) Rationality or Proper Functioning
• Inputs tested for rationality
• Outputs tested for functionality
NOTE: Comprehensive component monitors are
continuous. Therefore, enabling conditions do not
apply.
Input Rationality—While input signals to the
PCM are constantly being monitored for electrical
opens and shorts, they are also tested for rationality.
This means that the input signal is compared against
other inputs and information to see if it makes sense
under the current conditions.
PCM sensor inputs that are checked for rationality
include:
• Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
• Oxygen Sensor (O2S)
• Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
• Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
• Vehicle Speed Sensor
• Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
• Intake/inlet Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
• Throttle Position (TPS) Sensor
• Ambient/Battery Temperature Sensors
• Power Steering Switch
• Oxygen Sensor Heater
• Engine Controller
• Brake Switch
• Leak Detection Pump Switch (if equipped)
• P/N Switch
• Trans Controls
Output Functionality—PCM outputs are tested
for functionality in addition to testing for opens and
shorts. When the PCM provides a voltage to an output component, it can verify that the command was
carried out by monitoring specific input signals for
expected changes. For example, when the PCM commands the Idle Air Control (IAC) Motor to a specific
position under certain operating conditions, it expects
to see a specific (target) idle speed (RPM). If it does
not, it stores a DTC.
PCM outputs monitored for functionality include:
• Fuel Injectors
• Ignition Coils
• Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid
• Idle Air Control
• Purge Solenoid
• EGR Solenoid (if equipped)
• LDP Solenoid (if equipped)
• Radiator Fan Control
• Trans Controls
OXYGEN SENSOR (O2S) MONITOR
DESCRIPTION—Effective control of exhaust
emissions is achieved by an oxygen feedback system.
The most important element of the feedback system
is the O2S. The O2S is located in the exhaust path.
Once it reaches operating temperature 300° to 350°C
(572° to 662°F), the sensor generates a voltage that
is inversely proportional to the amount of oxygen in
the exhaust. When there is a large amount of oxygen
in the exhaust caused by a lean condition, the sensor
produces a low voltage, below 450 mV. When the oxygen content is lower, caused by a rich condition, the
sensor produces a higher voltage, above 450mV.
The information obtained by the sensor is used to
calculate the fuel injector pulse width. The PCM is
programmed to maintain the optimum air/fuel ratio.
At this mixture ratio, the catalyst works best to
remove hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO)
and nitrous oxide (NOx) from the exhaust.
The O2S is also the main sensing element for the
EGR (if equipped), Catalyst and Fuel Monitors.
The O2S may fail in any or all of the following
manners:
• Slow response rate (Big Slope)
• Reduced output voltage (Half Cycle)
• Heater Performance
Slow Response Rate (Big Slope)—Response rate
is the time required for the sensor to switch from
lean to rich signal output once it is exposed to a
richer than optimum A/F mixture or vice versa. As
the PCM adjusts the air/fuel ratio, the sensor must
be able to rapidly detect the change. As the sensor
ages, it could take longer to detect the changes in the
oxygen content of the exhaust gas. The rate of
change that an oxygen sensor experiences is called
RS
EMISSIONS CONTROL
25 - 3
EMISSIONS CONTROL (Continued)
“Big Slope”. The PCM checks the oxygen sensor voltage in increments of a few milliseconds.
Reduced Output Voltage (Half Cycle)—The
output voltage of the O2S ranges from 0 to 1 volt. A
good sensor can easily generate any output voltage in
this range as it is exposed to different concentrations
of oxygen. To detect a shift in the A/F mixture (lean
or rich), the output voltage has to change beyond a
threshold value. A malfunctioning sensor could have
difficulty changing beyond the threshold value. Each
time the voltage signal surpasses the threshold, a
counter is incremented by one. This is called the Half
Cycle Counter.
Heater Performance—The heater is tested by a
separate monitor. Refer to the Oxygen Sensor Heater
Monitor.
OPERATION—As the Oxygen Sensor signal
switches, the PCM monitors the half cycle and big
slope signals from the oxygen sensor. If during the
test neither counter reaches a predetermined value, a
malfunction is entered and Freeze Frame data is
stored. Only one counter reaching its predetermined
value is needed for the monitor to pass.
The Oxygen Sensor Monitor is a two trip monitor
that is tested only once per trip. When the Oxygen
Sensor fails the test in two consecutive trips, the
MIL is illuminated and a DTC is set. The MIL is
extinguished when the Oxygen Sensor monitor
passes in three consecutive trips. The DTC is erased
from memory after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles
without test failure.
Enabling Conditions—The following conditions
must typically be met for the PCM to run the oxygen
sensor monitor:
• Battery voltage
• Engine temperature
• Engine run time
• Engine run time at a predetermined speed
• Engine run time at a predetermined speed and
throttle opening
• Transmission in gear and brake depressed (automatic only)
• Fuel system in Closed Loop
• Long Term Adaptive (within parameters)
• Power Steering Switch in low PSI (no load)
• Engine at idle
• Fuel level above 15%
• Ambient air temperature
• Barometric pressure
• Engine RPM within acceptable range of desired
idle
Pending Conditions—The Task Manager typically does not run the Oxygen Sensor Monitor if overlapping monitors are running or the MIL is
illuminated for any of the following:
• Misfire Monitor
• Front Oxygen Sensor and Heater Monitor
• MAP Sensor
• Vehicle Speed Sensor
• Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
• Throttle Position Sensor
• Engine Controller Self Test Faults
• Cam or Crank Sensor
• Injector and Coil
• Idle Air Control Motor
• EVAP Electrical
• EGR Solenoid Electrical (if equipped)
• Intake/inlet Air Temperature
• 5 Volt Feed
Conflict—The Task Manager does not run the
Oxygen Sensor Monitor if any of the following conditions are present:
• A/C ON (A/C clutch cycling temporarily suspends monitor)
• Purge flow in progress
• Ethanel content learn is takeng place and the
ethenal used once flag is set (if equipped)
Suspend—The Task Manager suspends maturing
a fault for the Oxygen Sensor Monitor if any of the
following are present:
• Oxygen Sensor Heater Monitor, Priority 1
• Misfire Monitor, Priority 2
OXYGEN SENSOR HEATER MONITOR
DESCRIPTION—If there is an oxygen sensor
(O2S) DTC as well as a O2S heater DTC, the O2S
fault MUST be repaired first. After the O2S fault is
repaired, verify that the heater circuit is operating
correctly.
The voltage readings taken from the O2S are very
temperature sensitive. The readings are not accurate
below 300°C. Heating of the O2S is done to allow the
engine controller to shift to closed loop control as
soon as possible. The heating element used to heat
the O2S must be tested to ensure that it is heating
the sensor properly.
The heater element itself is not tested. The sensor
output is used to test the heater by isolating the
effect of the heater element on the O2S output voltage from the other effects. The resistance is normally
between 100 ohms and 4.5 megaohms. When oxygen
sensor temperature increases, the resistance in the
internal circuit decreases. The PCM sends a 5 volts
biased signal through the oxygen sensors to ground
this monitoring circuit. As the temperature increases,
resistance decreases and the PCM detects a lower
voltage at the reference signal. Inversely, as the temperature decreases, the resistance increases and the
PCM detects a higher voltage at the reference signal.
The O2S circuit is monitored for a drop in voltage.
OPERATION—The Oxygen Sensor Heater Monitor begins after the ignition has been turned OFF.
25 - 4
EMISSIONS CONTROL
RS
EMISSIONS CONTROL (Continued)
The PCM sends a 5 volt bias to the oxygen sensor
every 1.6 seconds. The PCM keeps it biased for 35
ms each time. As the sensor cools down, the resistance increases and the PCM reads the increase in
voltage. Once voltage has increased to a predetermined amount, higher than when the test started,
the oxygen sensor is cool enough to test heater operation.
When the oxygen sensor is cool enough, the PCM
energizes the ASD relay. Voltage to the O2 sensor
begins to increase the temperature. As the sensor
temperature increases, the internal resistance
decreases. The PCM continues biasing the 5 volt signal to the sensor. Each time the signal is biased, the
PCM reads a voltage decrease. When the PCM
detects a voltage decrease of a predetermined value
for several biased pulses, the test passes.
The heater elements are tested each time the
engine is turned OFF if all the enabling conditions
are met. If the monitor fails, the PCM stores a
maturing fault and a Freeze Frame is entered. If two
consecutive tests fail, a DTC is stored. Because the
ignition is OFF, the MIL is illuminated at the beginning of the next key cycle.
Enabling Conditions—The following conditions
must be met for the PCM to run the oxygen sensor
heater test:
• Engine run time of at least 3 minutes
• Engine run time at a predetermind speed and
throttle opening.
• Key OFF power down
• Battery voltage of at least 10 volts
• Sufficient Oxygen Sensor cool down
Pending Conditions—There are not conditions or
situations that prompt conflict or suspension of testing. The oxygen sensor heater test is not run pending
resolution of MIL illumination due to oxygen sensor
failure.
Suspend—There are no conditions which exist for
suspending the Heater Monitor.
CATALYST MONITOR
To comply with clean air regulations, vehicles are
equipped with catalytic converters. These converters
reduce the emission of hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen and carbon monoxide.
Normal vehicle miles or engine misfire can cause a
catalyst to decay. A meltdown of the ceramic core can
cause a reduction of the exhaust passage. This can
increase vehicle emissions and deteriorate engine
performance, driveability and fuel economy.
The catalyst monitor uses dual oxygen sensors
(O2S’s) to monitor the efficiency of the converter. The
dual O2S strategy is based on the fact that as a catalyst deteriorates, its oxygen storage capacity and its
efficiency are both reduced. By monitoring the oxy-
gen storage capacity of a catalyst, its efficiency can
be indirectly calculated. The upstream O2S is used to
detect the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas
before the gas enters the catalytic converter. The
PCM calculates the A/F mixture from the output of
the O2S. A low voltage indicates high oxygen content
(lean mixture). A high voltage indicates a low content
of oxygen (rich mixture).
When the upstream O2S detects a lean condition,
there is an abundance of oxygen in the exhaust gas.
A functioning converter would store this oxygen so it
can use it for the oxidation of HC and CO. As the
converter absorbs the oxygen, there will be a lack of
oxygen downstream of the converter. The output of
the downstream O2S will indicate limited activity in
this condition.
As the converter loses the ability to store oxygen,
the condition can be detected from the behavior of
the downstream O2S. When the efficiency drops, no
chemical reaction takes place. This means the concentration of oxygen will be the same downstream as
upstream. The output voltage of the downstream
O2S copies the voltage of the upstream sensor. The
only difference is a time lag (seen by the PCM)
between the switching of the O2S’s.
To monitor the system, the number of lean-to-rich
switches of upstream and downstream O2S’s is
counted. The ratio of downstream switches to
upstream switches is used to determine whether the
catalyst is operating properly. An effective catalyst
will have fewer downstream switches than it has
upstream switches i.e., a ratio closer to zero. For a
totally ineffective catalyst, this ratio will be one-toone, indicating that no oxidation occurs in the device.
The system must be monitored so that when catalyst efficiency deteriorates and exhaust emissions
increase to over the legal limit, the MIL (check
engine lamp) will be illuminated.
Monitor Operation—To monitor catalyst efficiency, the PCM expands the rich and lean switch
points of the heated oxygen sensor. With extended
switch points, the air/fuel mixture runs richer and
leaner to overburden the catalytic converter. Once
the test is started, the air/fuel mixture runs rich and
lean and the O2 switches are counted. A switch is
counted when an oxygen sensor signal goes from
below the lean threshold to above the rich threshold.
The number of Rear O2 sensor switches is divided by
the number of Front O2 sensor switches to determine
the switching ratio.
The test runs for 20 seconds. As catalyst efficiency
deteriorated over the life of the vehicle, the switch
rate at the downstream sensor approaches that of the
upstream sensor. If at any point during the test
period the switch ratio reaches a predetermined
value, a counter is incremented by one. The monitor
RS
EMISSIONS CONTROL

EMISSIONS CONTROL (Continued)
is enabled to run another test during that trip. When
the test fails 6 times, the counter increments to 3, a
malfunction is entered, and a Freeze Frame is stored,
the code is matured and the MIL is illuminated. If
the first test passes, no further testing is conducted
during that trip.
The MIL is extinguished after three consecutive
good trips. The good trip criteria for the catalyst
monitor is more stringent than the failure criteria. In
order to pass the test and increment one good trip,
the downstream sensor switch rate must be less than
45% of the upstream rate. The failure percentages
are 59% respectively.
Enabling Conditions—The following conditions
must typically be met before the PCM runs the catalyst monitor. Specific times for each parameter may
be different from engine to engine.
• Accumulated drive time
• Enable time
• Ambient air temperature
• Barometric pressure
• Catalyst warm-up counter
• Engine coolant temperature

Conflict—The catalyst monitor does not run if any
of the following are conditions are present:
• EGR Monitor in progress (if equipped)
• Fuel system rich intrusive test in progress
• EVAP Monitor in progress
• Time since start is less than 60 seconds
• Low fuel level-less than 15 %
• Low ambient air temperature
• Ethanel content learn is takeng place and the
ethenal used once flag is set
Suspend—The Task Manager does not mature a
catalyst fault if any of the following are present:
• Oxygen Sensor Monitor, Priority 1
• Oxygen Sensor Heater, Priority 1
• EGR Monitor, Priority 1 (if equipped)
• EVAP Monitor, Priority 1
• Fuel System Monitor, Priority 2
• Misfire Monitor, Priority 2
OPERATION - NON-MONITORED CIRCUITS
The PCM does not monitor all circuits, systems
and conditions that could have malfunctions causing
driveability problems. However, problems with these
systems may cause the PCM to store diagnostic trouble codes for other systems or components. For example, a fuel pressure problem will not register a fault
directly, but could cause a rich/lean condition or misfire. This could cause the PCM to store an oxygen
sensor or misfire diagnostic trouble code.
The major non-monitored circuits are listed below
along with examples of failures modes that do not
directly cause the PCM to set a DTC, but for a system that is monitored.
FUEL PRESSURE
The fuel pressure regulator controls fuel system
pressure. The PCM cannot detect a clogged fuel
pump inlet filter, clogged in-line fuel filter, or a
pinched fuel supply or return line. However, these
could result in a rich or lean condition causing the
PCM to store an oxygen sensor, fuel system, or misfire diagnostic trouble code.
SECONDARY IGNITION CIRCUIT
The PCM cannot detect an inoperative ignition coil,
fouled or worn spark plugs, ignition cross firing, or
open spark plug cables. The misfire will however,
increase the oxygen content in the exhaust, deceiving
the PCM in to thinking the fuel system is too lean.
Also misfire detection.
CYLINDER COMPRESSION
The PCM cannot detect uneven, low, or high engine
cylinder compression. Low compression lowers O2
content in the exhaust. Leading to fuel system, oxygen sensor, or misfire detection fault.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
The PCM cannot detect a plugged, restricted or
leaking exhaust system. It may set a EGR (if
equipped) or Fuel system or O2S fault.

EMISSIONS CONTROL
RS
EMISSIONS CONTROL (Continued)
FUEL INJECTOR MECHANICAL MALFUNCTIONS
The PCM cannot determine if a fuel injector is
clogged, the needle is sticking or if the wrong injector
is installed. However, these could result in a rich or
lean condition causing the PCM to store a diagnostic
trouble code for either misfire, an oxygen sensor, or
the fuel system.
EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION
Although the PCM monitors engine exhaust oxygen
content when the system is in closed loop, it cannot
determine excessive oil consumption.
THROTTLE BODY AIR FLOW
The PCM cannot detect a clogged or restricted air
cleaner inlet or filter element.
VACUUM ASSIST
The PCM cannot detect leaks or restrictions in the
vacuum circuits of vacuum assisted engine control
system devices. However, these could cause the PCM
to store a MAP sensor diagnostic trouble code and
cause a high idle condition.
PCM SYSTEM GROUND
The PCM cannot determine a poor system ground.
However, one or more diagnostic trouble codes may
be generated as a result of this condition. The module should be mounted to the body at all times, also
during diagnostic.
PCM CONNECTOR ENGAGEMENT
The PCM may not be able to determine spread or
damaged connector pins. However, it might store
diagnostic trouble codes as a result of spread connector pins.
DESCRIPTION - MONITORED SYSTEMS
There are new electronic circuit monitors that
check fuel, emission, engine and ignition performance. These monitors use information from various
sensor circuits to indicate the overall operation of the
fuel, engine, ignition and emission systems and thus
the emissions performance of the vehicle.
The fuel, engine, ignition and emission systems
monitors do not indicate a specific component problem. They do indicate that there is an implied problem within one of the systems and that a specific
problem must be diagnosed.
If any of these monitors detect a problem affecting
vehicle emissions, the Malfunction Indicator (Check
Engine) Lamp will be illuminated. These monitors
generate Diagnostic Trouble Codes that can be displayed with the a DRBIIIt scan tool.
The following is a list of the system monitors:
• EGR Monitor (if equipped)
• Misfire Monitor
• Fuel System Monitor
• Oxygen Sensor Monitor
• Oxygen Sensor Heater Monitor
• Catalyst Monitor
• Evaporative System Leak Detection Monitor (if
equipped)
Following is a description of each system monitor,
and its DTC.
Refer to the appropriate Powertrain Diagnostics Procedures manual for diagnostic procedures.
OXYGEN SENSOR (O2S) MONITOR
Effective control of exhaust emissions is achieved
by an oxygen feedback system. The most important
element of the feedback system is the O2S. The O2S
is located in the exhaust path. Once it reaches operating temperatures of 300° to 350°C (572° to 662°F),
the sensor generates a voltage that is inversely proportional to the amount of oxygen in the exhaust.
The information obtained by the sensor is used to
calculate the fuel injector pulse width. The PCM is
programmed to maintain the optimum air/fuel ratio.
At this mixture ratio, the catalyst works best to
remove hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO)
and nitrous oxide (NOx) from the exhaust.
The O2S is also the main sensing element for the
EGR (if equipped), Catalyst and Fuel Monitors.
The O2S may fail in any or all of the following
manners:
• Slow response rate
• Reduced output voltage
• Dynamic shift
• Shorted or open circuits
Response rate is the time required for the sensor to
switch from lean to rich once it is exposed to a richer
than optimum A/F mixture or vice versa. As the sensor starts malfunctioning, it could take longer to
detect the changes in the oxygen content of the
exhaust gas.
The output voltage of the O2S ranges from 0 to 1
volt. A good sensor can easily generate any output
voltage in this range as it is exposed to different concentrations of oxygen. To detect a shift in the A/F
mixture (lean or rich), the output voltage has to
change beyond a threshold value. A malfunctioning
sensor could have difficulty changing beyond the
threshold value.
OXYGEN SENSOR HEATER MONITOR
If there is an oxygen sensor (O2S) DTC as well as
a O2S heater DTC, the O2S fault MUST be repaired
first. After the O2S fault is repaired, verify that the
heater circuit is operating correctly.

Effective control of exhaust emissions is achieved
by an oxygen feedback system. The most important
element of the feedback system is the O2S. The O2S
is located in the exhaust path. Once it reaches operating temperatures of 300° to 350°C (572 ° to 662°F),
the sensor generates a voltage that is inversely proportional to the amount of oxygen in the exhaust.
The information obtained by the sensor is used to
calculate the fuel injector pulse width. This maintains a 14.7 to 1 Air Fuel (A/F) ratio. At this mixture
ratio, the catalyst works best to remove hydrocarbons
(HC), carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxide
(NOx) from the exhaust.
The voltage readings taken from the O2S are very
temperature sensitive. The readings are not accurate
below 300°C. Heating of the O2S is done to allow the
engine controller to shift to closed loop control as

the sensor properly.
The O2S circuit is monitored for a drop in voltage.
The sensor output is used to test the heater by isolating the effect of the heater element on the O2S
output voltage from the other effects.
EGR MONITOR (if equipped)
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) performs
an on-board diagnostic check of the EGR system.
The EGR monitor is used to test whether the EGR
system is operating within specifications. The diagnostic check activates only during selected engine/
driving conditions. When the conditions are met, the
EGR is turned off (solenoid energized) and the O2S
compensation control is monitored. Turning off the
EGR shifts the air fuel (A/F) ratio in the lean direction. The O2S data should indicate an increase in the
O2 concentration in the combustion chamber when
the exhaust gases are no longer recirculated. While
this test does not directly measure the operation of
the EGR system, it can be inferred from the shift in
the O2S data whether the EGR system is operating
correctly. Because the O2S is being used, the O2S
test must pass its test before the EGR test. Also
looks at EGR linear potentiometer for feedback.
MISFIRE MONITOR
Excessive engine misfire results in increased catalyst temperature and causes an increase in HC emissions. Severe misfires could cause catalyst damage.
To prevent catalytic convertor damage, the PCM
monitors engine misfire.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors
for misfire during most engine operating conditions
(positive torque) by looking at changes in the crankshaft speed. If a misfire occurs the speed of the
crankshaft will vary more than normal.
FUEL SYSTEM MONITOR
To comply with clean air regulations, vehicles are
equipped with catalytic converters. These converters
reduce the emission of hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen and carbon monoxide. The catalyst works best
when the air fuel (A/F) ratio is at or near the optimum of 14.7 to 1.
The PCM is programmed to maintain the optimum
air/fuel ratio. This is done by making short term corrections in the fuel injector pulse width based on the
O2S output. The programmed memory acts as a self
calibration tool that the engine controller uses to
compensate for variations in engine specifications,
sensor tolerances and engine fatigue over the life
span of the engine. By monitoring the actual air-fuel
ratio with the O2S (short term) and multiplying that
with the program long-term (adaptive) memory and
comparing that to the limit, it can be determined
whether it will pass an emissions test. If a malfunction occurs such that the PCM cannot maintain the
optimum A/F ratio, then the MIL will be illuminated.
CATALYST MONITOR
To comply with clean air regulations, vehicles are
equipped with catalytic converters. These converters
reduce the emission of hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen and carbon monoxide.
Normal vehicle miles or engine misfire can cause a

increase vehicle emissions and deteriorate engine
performance, driveability and fuel economy.

only difference is a time lag (seen by the PCM)

The system must be monitored so that when catalyst efficiency deteriorates and exhaust emissions
increase to over the legal limit, the MIL (Check

LEAK DETECTION PUMP MONITOR (if equipped)
The leak detection assembly incorporates two primary functions: it must detect a leak in the evaporative system and seal the evaporative system so the
leak detection test can be run.
The primary components within the assembly are:
A three port solenoid that activates both of the functions listed above; a pump which contains a switch,
two check valves, a spring/diaphragm, and a canister
vent valve (CVV) seal which contains a spring loaded
vent seal valve.
Immediately after a cold start, between predetermined temperature thresholds limits, the three port
solenoid is briefly energized. This initializes the
pump by drawing air into the pump cavity and also
closes the vent seal. During non test conditions the
vent seal is held open by the pump diaphragm
assembly which pushes it open at the full travel position. The vent seal will remain closed while the
pump is cycling due to the reed switch triggering of
the three port solenoid that prevents the diaphragm
assembly from reaching full travel. After the brief
initialization period, the solenoid is de-energized
allowing atmospheric pressure to enter the pump
cavity, thus permitting the spring to drive the diaphragm which forces air out of the pump cavity and
into the vent system. When the solenoid is energized
and de energized, the cycle is repeated creating flow
in typical diaphragm pump fashion. The pump is controlled in 2 modes:
Pump Mode: The pump is cycled at a fixed rate to
achieve a rapid pressure build in order to shorten the
overall test length.
Test Mode: The solenoid is energized with a fixed
duration pulse. Subsequent fixed pulses occur when
the diaphragm reaches the Switch closure point.
The spring in the pump is set so that the system
will achieve an equalized pressure of about 7.5”
water. The cycle rate of pump strokes is quite rapid
as the system begins to pump up to this pressure. As
the pressure increases, the cycle rate starts to drop
off. If there is no leak in the system, the pump would
eventually stop pumping at the equalized pressure. If
there is a leak, it will continue to pump at a rate representative of the flow characteristic of the size of the
leak. From this information we can determine if the
leak is larger than the required detection limit (currently set at .020” orifice by CARB). If a leak is
revealed during the leak test portion of the test, the
test is terminated at the end of the test mode and no
further system checks will be performed.
The canister vent valve will unseal the system
after completion of the test sequence as the pump
diaphragm assembly moves to the full travel position.
Evaporative system functionality will be verified by
using the stricter evap purge flow monitor. At an
appropriate warm idle the LDP will be energized to
seal the canister vent. The purge flow will be clocked
up from some small value in an attempt to see a
shift in the 02 control system. If fuel vapor, indicated
by a shift in the 02 control, is present the test is
passed. If not, it is assumed that the purge system is
not functioning in some respect. The LDP is again
turned off and the test is ended.
Natural Vacuum Leak Detection (NVLD) (if equipped)
The Natural Vacuum Leak Detection (NVLD) system is the next generation evaporative leak detection
system that will first be used on vehicles equipped
with the Next Generation Controller (NGC) starting
in 2002 M.Y. This new system replaces the leak
detection pump as the method of evaporative system
leak detection. This is to detect a leak equivalent to a
0.0209 (0.5 mm) hole. This system has the capability
to detect holes of this size very dependably.
The basic leak detection theory employed with
NVLD is the 9Gas Law9. This is to say that the pressure in a sealed vessel will change if the temperature
of the gas in the vessel changes. The vessel will only
see this effect if it is indeed sealed. Even small leaks
will allow the pressure in the vessel to come to equilibrium with the ambient pressure. In addition to the
detection of very small leaks, this system has the
capability of detecting medium as well as large evaporative system leaks.
A vent valve seals the canister vent during engine
off conditions. If the vapor system has a leak of less
than the failure threshold, the evaporative system
will be pulled into a vacuum, either due to the cool
down from operating temperature or diurnal ambient
temperature cycling. The diurnal effect is considered
one of the primary contributors to the leak determi-

nation by this diagnostic. When the vacuum in the
system exceeds about 19 H2O (0.25 KPA), a vacuum
switch closes. The switch closure sends a signal to
the NGC. The NGC, via appropriate logic strategies
(described below), utilizes the switch signal, or lack
thereof, to make a determination of whether a leak is
present.
The NVLD device is designed with a normally open
vacuum switch, a normally closed solenoid, and a
seal, which is actuated by both the solenoid and a
diaphragm. The NVLD is located on the atmospheric
vent side of the canister. The NVLD assembly may
be mounted on top of the canister outlet, or in-line
between the canister and atmospheric vent filter. The
normally open vacuum switch will close with about 19
H2O (0.25 KPA) vacuum in the evaporative system.
The diaphragm actuates the switch. This is above the
opening point of the fuel inlet check valve in the fill
tube so cap off leaks can be detected. Submerged fill
systems must have recirculation lines that do not
have the in-line normally closed check valve that protects the system from failed nozzle liquid ingestion,
in order to detect cap off conditions.
The normally closed valve in the NVLD is intended
to maintain the seal on the evaporative system during the engine off condition. If vacuum in the evaporative system exceeds 39 to 69 H2O (0.75 to 1.5 KPA),
the valve will be pulled off the seat, opening the seal.
This will protect the system from excessive vacuum
as well as allowing sufficient purge flow in the event
that the solenoid was to become inoperative.
The solenoid actuates the valve to unseal the canister vent while the engine is running. It also will be
used to close the vent during the medium and large
leak tests and during the purge flow check. This solenoid requires initial 1.5 amps of current to pull the
valve open but after 100 ms. will be duty cycled down
to an average of about 150 mA for the remainder of
the drive cycle.
Another feature in the device is a diaphragm that
will open the seal in the NVLD with pressure in the
evaporative system. The device will 9blow off9 at
about 0.59 H2O (0.12 KPA) pressure to permit the
venting of vapors during refueling. An added benefit
to this is that it will also allow the tank to 9breathe9
during increasing temperatures, thus limiting the
pressure in the tank to this low level. This is beneficial because the induced vacuum during a subsequent declining temperature will achieve the switch
closed (pass threshold) sooner than if the tank had to
decay from a built up pressure.
The device itself has 3 wires: Switch sense, solenoid driver and ground. It also includes a resistor to
protect the switch from a short to battery or a short
to ground. The NGC utilizes a high-side driver to
energize and duty-cycle the solenoid.
DESCRIPTION - HIGH AND LOW LIMITS
The PCM compares input signal voltages from each
input device with established high and low limits for
the device. If the input voltage is not within limits
and other criteria are met, the PCM stores a diagnostic trouble code in memory. Other diagnostic trouble
code criteria might include engine RPM limits or
input voltages from other sensors or switches that
must be present before verifying a diagnostic trouble
code condition.
OPERATION
OPERATION - SYSTEM
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors
many different circuits in the fuel injection, ignition,
emission and engine systems. If the PCM senses a
problem with a monitored circuit often enough to
indicate an actual problem, it stores a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) in the PCM’s memory. If the
code applies to a non-emissions related component or
system, and the problem is repaired or ceases to
exist, the PCM cancels the code after 40 warmup
cycles. Diagnostic trouble codes that affect vehicle
emissions illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL). Refer to Malfunction Indicator Lamp in this
section.
Certain criteria must be met before the PCM
stores a DTC in memory. The criteria may be a specific range of engine RPM, engine temperature,
and/or input voltage to the PCM.
The PCM might not store a DTC for a monitored
circuit even though a malfunction has occurred. This
may happen because one of the DTC criteria for the
circuit has not been met. For example , assume the
diagnostic trouble code criteria requires the PCM to
monitor the circuit only when the engine operates
between 750 and 2000 RPM. Suppose the sensor’s
output circuit shorts to ground when engine operates
above 2400 RPM (resulting in 0 volt input to the
PCM). Because the condition happens at an engine
speed above the maximum threshold (2000 rpm), the
PCM will not store a DTC.
There are several operating conditions for which
the PCM monitors and sets DTC’s. Refer to Monitored Systems, Components, and Non-Monitored Circuits in this section.
NOTE: Various diagnostic procedures may actually
cause a diagnostic monitor to set a DTC. For
instance, pulling a spark plug wire to perform a
spark test may set the misfire code. When a repair
is completed and verified, use the DRBIIIT scan tool
to erase all DTC’s and extinguish the MIL.

Technicians can display stored DTC’s. Refer to

obtaining the DTC information, use the Data Link
Connector with the DRBIIIt scan tool (Fig. 1).
DRB IIIT STATE DISPLAY TEST MODE
OPERATION
The switch inputs to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) have two recognized states; HIGH and
LOW. For this reason, the PCM cannot recognize the
difference between a selected switch position versus
an open circuit, a short circuit, or a defective switch.
If the State Display screen shows the change from
HIGH to LOW or LOW to HIGH, assume the entire
switch circuit to the PCM functions properly. From
the state display screen, access either State Display
Inputs and Outputs or State Display Sensors.

All engines use a proportional purge solenoid system. The PCM controls vapor flow by operating the
purge solenoid. Refer to Proportional Purge Solenoid
in this section.
OPERATION - EVAPORATION CONTROL
SYSTEM
The evaporation control system prevents the emission of fuel tank vapors into the atmosphere. When
fuel evaporates in the fuel tank, the vapors pass
through vent hoses or tubes to an activated carbon
filled evaporative canister. The canister temporarily
holds the vapors. The Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) allows intake manifold vacuum to draw
vapors into the combustion chambers during certain
operating conditions (Fig. 1).

EVAP/PURGE SOLENOID
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles use a proportional purge solenoid (Fig.
2). The solenoid regulates the rate of vapor flow from
the EVAP canister to the throttle body. The PCM
operates the solenoid.
Fig. 3 EVAP PURGE SOLENOID
1 - EVAP Purge Solenoid
2 - EGR VAlve
3 - Generator
Fig. 2 Proportional Purge Solenoid
OPERATION
During the cold start warm-up period and the hot
start time delay, the PCM does not energize the solenoid. When de-energized, no vapors are purged.
The proportional purge solenoid operates at a frequency of 200 hz and is controlled by an engine controller circuit that senses the current being applied
to the proportional purge solenoid and then adjusts
that current to achieve the desired purge flow. The
proportional purge solenoid controls the purge rate of
fuel vapors from the vapor canister and fuel tank to
the engine intake manifold.
REMOVAL
The solenoid attaches to a bracket near the radiator on the passenger side of vehicle (Fig. 3). The solenoid will not operate unless it is installed correctly.
(1) Disconnect electrical connector from solenoid.
(2) Disconnect vacuum tubes from solenoid.
(3) Remove solenoid from bracket.

FUEL FILLER CAP
DESCRIPTION
The plastic fuel fill cap is threaded/quarter turn
onto the end of the fuel filler tube. It’s purpose is to
retain vapors and fuel in the fuel tank.
OPERATION
The fuel filler cap incorporates a two-way relief
valve that is closed to atmosphere during normal
operating conditions. The relief valve is calibrated to
open when a pressure of 17 kPa (2.5 psi) or vacuum
of 2 kPa (0.6 in. Hg) occurs in the fuel tank. When
the pressure or vacuum is relieved, the valve returns
to the normally closed position.
CAUTION: Remove the fuel filler cap to release fuel
tank pressure before disconnecting any fuel system
component.

The emission control principle used in the ORVR
system is that the fuel flowing into the filler tube
(appx. 1” I.D.) creates an aspiration effect which
draws air into the fill tube (Fig. 6). During refueling,
the fuel tank is vented to the vapor canister to capture escaping vapors. With air flowing into the filler
tube, there are no fuel vapors escaping to the atmosphere. Once the refueling vapors are captured by
the canister, the vehicle’s computer controlled purge
system draws vapor out of the canister for the engine
to burn. The vapors flow is metered by the purge
solenoid so that there is no or minimal impact on
driveability or tailpipe emissions.
As fuel starts to flow through the fill tube, it opens
the normally closed check valve and enters the fuel
tank. Vapor or air is expelled from the tank through
the control valve to the vapor canister. Vapor is
absorbed in the canister until vapor flow in the lines
stops, either following shut-off or by having the fuel
level in the tank rise high enough to close the control
valve. The control valve(Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL DELIVERY/FUEL TANK - OPERATION)
contains a float that rises to seal the large diameter
vent path to the canister. At this point in the fueling
of the vehicle, the tank pressure increases, the check
valve closes (preventing tank fuel from spitting back
at the operator), and fuel then rises up the filler tube
to shut-off the dispensing nozzle.
If the engine is shut-off while the On-Board diagnostics test is running, low level tank pressure can
be trapped in the fuel tank and fuel can not be added
to the tank until the pressure is relieved. This is due
to the leak detection pump closing the vapor outlet
from the top of the tank and the one-way check valve
not allowing the tank to vent through the fill tube to
atmosphere. Therefore, when fuel is added, it will
back-up in the fill tube and shut off the dispensing
nozzle. The pressure can be eliminated in two ways:
1. Vehicle purge must be activated and for a long
enough period to eliminate the pressure. 2. Removing
the fuel cap and allowing enough time for the system
to vent thru the recirulation tube.

PCV VALVE
OPERATION
DESCRIPTION
When the engine is not operating or during an
engine backfire, the spring forces the plunger back
against the seat. This prevents vapors from flowing
through the valve (Fig. 9).
The PCV valve contains a spring loaded plunger.
The plunger meters the amount of crankcase vapors
routed into the combustion chamber based on intake
manifold vacuum (Fig. 7) or (Fig. 8).
Fig. 9 Engine Off or Engine Backfire No Vapor Flow
When the engine is at idle or cruising, high manifold vacuum is present. At these times manifold vacuum is able to completely compress the spring and
pull the plunger to the top of the valve (Fig. 10). In
this position there is minimal vapor flow through the
valve.
Fig. 7 PCV VALVE 2.4L
Fig. 10 High Intake Manifold Vacuum Minimal Vapor
Flow
1 - PCV Valve
During periods of moderate intake manifold vacuum the plunger is only pulled part way back from

(3) After allowing approximately one minute for
crankcase pressure to reduce, the paper should draw
up against the hose with noticeable force. If the
engine does not draw the paper against the grommet
after installing a new valve, replace the PCV valve
hose.
(4) Turn the engine off. Remove the PCV valve

VAPOR CANISTER
Fig. 12 FRONT EVAP CANISTER
1 - Front EVAP Canister
2 - Vent Valve
DESCRIPTION
There are 2 EVAP canisters on the vehicle. The
vacuum and vapor tubes connect to the top of the
canister. It is a charcoal canister (Fig. 12) or (Fig.
13).
OPERATION
All vehicles use a maintenance free, evaporative
(EVAP) canister. Fuel tank vapors vent into the canister. The canister temporarily holds the fuel vapors
until intake manifold vacuum draws them into the
combustion chamber. The Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) purges the canister through the proportional
purge solenoid. The PCM purges the canister at predetermined intervals and engine conditions.
Purge Free Cells
Purge-free memory cells are used to identify the
fuel vapor content of the evaporative canister. Since
the evaporative canister is not purged 100% of the
time, the PCM stores information about the evaporative canister’s vapor content in a memory cell.
The purge-free cells are constructed similar to certain purge-normal cells. The purge-free cells can be
monitored by the DRB IIIt Scan Tool. The only difference between the purge-free cells and normal
adaptive cells is that in purge-free, the purge is completely turned off. This gives the PCM the ability to
compare purge and purge-free operation.

OPERATION
Refer to Monitored Systems - EGR Monitor in this
group for more information.
The engines use Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
systems. The EGR system reduces oxides of nitrogen
(NOx) in engine exhaust and helps prevent detonation (engine knock). Under normal operating conditions, engine cylinder temperature can reach more
than 3000°F. Formation of NOx increases proportionally with combustion temperature. To reduce the
emission of these oxides, the cylinder temperature
must be lowered. The system allows a predetermined
amount of hot exhaust gas to recirculate and dilute

the incoming air/fuel mixture. The diluted air/fuel
mixture reduces peak flame temperature during combustion.
The electric EGR transducer contains an electrically operated solenoid and a back-pressure transducer (Fig. 3). The Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
operates the solenoid. The PCM determines when to
energize the solenoid. Exhaust system back-pressure
controls the transducer.
When the PCM energizes the solenoid, vacuum
does not reach the transducer. Vacuum flows to the
transducer when the PCM de-energizes the solenoid.
When exhaust system back-pressure becomes high
enough, it fully closes a bleed valve in the transducer. When the PCM de-energizes the solenoid and
back-pressure closes the transducer bleed valve, vacuum flows through the transducer to operate the
EGR valve.
De-energizing the solenoid, but not fully closing the
transducer bleed hole (because of low back-pressure),
varies the strength of vacuum applied to the EGR
valve. Varying the strength of the vacuum changes
the amount of EGR supplied to the engine. This provides the correct amount of exhaust gas recirculation
for different operating conditions.
This system does not allow EGR at idle.
A failed or malfunctioning EGR system can cause
engine spark knock, sags or hesitation, rough idle,
engine stalling and increased emissions.

TASK MANAGER
DESCRIPTION . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24
TASK MANAGER
DESCRIPTION
The PCM is responsible for efficiently coordinating
the operation of all the emissions-related components. The PCM is also responsible for determining if
the diagnostic systems are operating properly. The
software designed to carry out these responsibilities
is call the “Task Manager”.
OPERATION
The Task Manager determines when tests happen
and when functions occur. Many of the diagnostic
steps required by OBD II must be performed under
specific operating conditions. The Task Manager software organizes and prioritizes the diagnostic procedures. The job of the Task Manager is to determine if
conditions are appropriate for tests to be run, monitor the parameters for a trip for each test, and record
the results of the test. Following are the responsibilities of the Task Manager software:
• Test Sequence
• MIL Illumination
• Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
• Trip Indicator
• Freeze Frame Data Storage
• Similar Conditions Window
Test Sequence
In many instances, emissions systems must fail
diagnostic tests more than once before the PCM illuminates the MIL. These tests are know as ’two trip
monitors.’ Other tests that turn the MIL lamp on
after a single failure are known as ’one trip monitors.’ A trip is defined as ’start the vehicle and operate it to meet the criteria necessary to run the given
monitor.’
Many of the diagnostic tests must be performed
under certain operating conditions. However, there
are times when tests cannot be run because another
test is in progress (conflict), another test has failed
(pending) or the Task Manager has set a fault that
may cause a failure of the test (suspend).
• Pending
Under some situations the Task Manager will not
page
OPERATION
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24
run a monitor if the MIL is illuminated and a fault is
stored from another monitor. In these situations, the
Task Manager postpones monitors pending resolution of the original fault. The Task Manager does not
run the test until the problem is remedied.
For example, when the MIL is illuminated for an
Oxygen Sensor fault, the Task Manager does not run
the Catalyst Monitor until the Oxygen Sensor fault is
remedied. Since the Catalyst Monitor is based on signals from the Oxygen Sensor, running the test would
produce inaccurate results.
• Conflict
There are situations when the Task Manager does
not run a test if another monitor is in progress. In
these situations, the effects of another monitor running could result in an erroneous failure. If this conflict is present, the monitor is not run until the
conflicting condition passes. Most likely the monitor
will run later after the conflicting monitor has
passed.
For example, if the Fuel System Monitor is in
progress, the Task Manager does not run the catalyst
Monitor. Since both tests monitor changes in air/fuel
ratio and adaptive fuel compensation, the monitors
will conflict with each other.
• Suspend
Occasionally the Task Manager may not allow a two
trip fault to mature. The Task Manager will suspend the maturing of a fault if a condition exists
that may induce an erroneous failure. This prevents
illuminating the MIL for the wrong fault and allows
more precise diagnosis.
For example, if the PCM is storing a one trip fault
for the Oxygen Sensor and the catalyst monitor, the
Task Manager may still run the catalyst Monitor but
will suspend the results until the Oxygen Sensor
Monitor either passes or fails. At that point the Task
Manager can determine if the catalyst system is
actually failing or if an Oxygen Sensor is failing.
MIL Illumination
The PCM Task Manager carries out the illumination of the MIL. The Task Manager triggers MIL illumination upon test failure, depending on monitor
failure criteria.
RS
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS
25 - 25
TASK MANAGER (Continued)
The Task Manager Screen shows both a Requested
MIL state and an Actual MIL state. When the MIL is
illuminated upon completion of a test for a good trip,
the Requested MIL state changes to OFF. However,
the MIL remains illuminated until the next key
cycle. (On some vehicles, the MIL will actually turn
OFF during the third key cycle) During the key cycle
for the third good trip, the Requested MIL state is
OFF, while the Actual MIL state is ON. After the
next key cycle, the MIL is not illuminated and both
MIL states read OFF.
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
With OBD II, different DTC faults have different
priorities according to regulations. As a result, the
priorities determine MIL illumination and DTC erasure. DTCs are entered according to individual priority. DTCs with a higher priority overwrite lower
priority DTCs.
Priorities
• Priority 0 —Non-emissions related trouble codes.
• Priority 1 — One trip failure of a two trip fault
for non-fuel system and non-misfire. (MIL Off)
• Priority 2 — One trip failure of a two trip fault
for fuel system (rich/lean) or misfire. (MIL Off)
• Priority 3 — Two trip failure for a non-fuel system and non-misfire or matured one trip comprehensive component fault. (MIL On)
• Priority 4 — Two trip failure or matured fault
for fuel system (rich/lean) and misfire or one trip catalyst damaging misfire. Catalyst damage misfire is a
2 trip MIL. The MIL flashes on the first trip when
catalyst damage misfire levels are present. (MIL On)
Non-emissions related failures have no priority.
One trip failures of two trip faults have low priority.
Two trip failures or matured faults have higher priority. One and two trip failures of fuel system and
misfire monitor take precedence over non-fuel system
and non-misfire failures.
DTC Self Erasure
With one trip components or systems, the MIL is
illuminated upon test failure and DTCs are stored.
Two trip monitors are components requiring failure
in two consecutive trips for MIL illumination. Upon
failure of the first test, the Task Manager enters a
maturing code. If the component fails the test for a
second time the code matures and a DTC is set.
After three good trips the MIL is extinguished and
the Task Manager automatically switches the trip
counter to a warm-up cycle counter. DTCs are automatically erased following 40 warm-up cycles if the
component does not fail again.
For misfire and fuel system monitors, the component must pass the test under a Similar Conditions
Window in order to record a good trip. A Similar Con-
ditions Window is when engine RPM is within ±375
RPM and load is within ±20% of when the fault
occurred.
NOTE: It is important to understand that a component does not have to fail under a similar window of
operation to mature. It must pass the test under a
Similar Conditions Window when it failed to record
a Good Trip for DTC erasure for misfire and fuel
system monitors.
DTCs can be erased anytime with a DRBIIIt.
Erasing the DTC with the DRBIIIt erases all OBD II
information. The DRBIIIt automatically displays a
warning that erasing the DTC will also erase all
OBD II monitor data. This includes all counter information for warm-up cycles, trips and Freeze Frame.
Trip Indicator
The Trip is essential for running monitors and
extinguishing the MIL. In OBD II terms, a trip is a
set of vehicle operating conditions that must be met
for a specific monitor to run. All trips begin with a
key cycle.
Good Trip
The Good Trip counters are as follows:
• Global Good Trip
• Fuel System Good Trip
• Misfire Good Trip
• Alternate Good Trip (appears as a Global Good
Trip on DRBIIIt)
• Comprehensive Components
• Major Monitor
• Warm-Up Cycles
Global Good Trip
To increment a Global Good Trip, the Oxygen sensor and Catalyst efficiency monitors must have run
and passed, and 2 minutes of engine run time.
Fuel System Good Trip
To count a good trip (three required) and turn off
the MIL, the following conditions must occur:
• Engine in closed loop
• Operating in Similar Conditions Window
• Short Term multiplied by Long Term less than
threshold
• Less than threshold for a predetermined time
If all of the previous criteria are met, the PCM will
count a good trip (three required) and turn off the
MIL.
Misfire Good Trip
If the following conditions are met the PCM will
count one good trip (three required) in order to turn
off the MIL:
• Operating in Similar Condition Window
• 1000 engine revolutions with no misfire
Alternate Good Trip
25 - 26
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS
RS
TASK MANAGER (Continued)
Alternate Good Trips are used in place of Global
Good Trips for Comprehensive Components and
Major Monitors. If the Task Manager cannot run a
Global Good Trip because a component fault is stopping the monitor from running, it will attempt to
count an Alternate Good Trip.
The Task Manager counts an Alternate Good Trip
for Comprehensive components when the following
conditions are met:
• Two minutes of engine run time, idle or driving
• No other faults occur
The Task Manager counts an Alternate Good Trip
for a Major Monitor when the monitor runs and
passes. Only the Major Monitor that failed needs to
pass to count an Alternate Good Trip.
Warm-Up Cycles
Once the MIL has been extinguished by the Good
Trip Counter, the PCM automatically switches to a
Warm-Up Cycle Counter that can be viewed on the
DRBIIIt. Warm-Up Cycles are used to erase DTCs
and Freeze Frames. Forty Warm-Up cycles must
occur in order for the PCM to self-erase a DTC and
Freeze Frame. A Warm-Up Cycle is defined as follows:
• Engine coolant temperature must start below
and rise above 160° F
• Engine coolant temperature must rise by 40° F
• No further faults occur
Freeze Frame Data Storage
Once a failure occurs, the Task Manager records
several engine operating conditions and stores it in a
Freeze Frame. The Freeze Frame is considered one
frame of information taken by an on-board data
recorder. When a fault occurs, the PCM stores the
input data from various sensors so that technicians
can determine under what vehicle operating conditions the failure occurred.
The data stored in Freeze Frame is usually
recorded when a system fails the first time for two
trip faults. Freeze Frame data will only be overwritten by a different fault with a higher priority.
CAUTION: Erasing DTCs, either with the DRBIIIT; or
by disconnecting the battery, also clears all Freeze
Frame data.
Similar Conditions Window
The Similar Conditions Window displays information about engine operation during a monitor. Absolute MAP (engine load) and Engine RPM are stored
in this window when a failure occurs. There are two
different Similar conditions Windows: Fuel System
and Misfire.
FUEL SYSTEM
• Fuel System Similar Conditions Window —
An indicator that ’Absolute MAP When Fuel Sys Fail’
and ’RPM When Fuel Sys Failed’ are all in the same
range when the failure occurred. Indicated by switching from ’NO’ to ’YES’.
• Absolute MAP When Fuel Sys Fail — The
stored MAP reading at the time of failure. Informs
the user at what engine load the failure occurred.
• Absolute MAP — A live reading of engine load
to aid the user in accessing the Similar Conditions
Window.
• RPM When Fuel Sys Fail — The stored RPM
reading at the time of failure. Informs the user at
what engine RPM the failure occurred.
• Engine RPM — A live reading of engine RPM
to aid the user in accessing the Similar Conditions
Window.
• Adaptive Memory Factor — The PCM utilizes
both Short Term Compensation and Long Term Adaptive to calculate the Adaptive Memory Factor for
total fuel correction.
• Upstream O2S Volts — A live reading of the
Oxygen Sensor to indicate its performance. For
example, stuck lean, stuck rich, etc.
• SCW Time in Window (Similar Conditions
Window Time in Window) — A timer used by the
PCM that indicates that, after all Similar Conditions
have been met, if there has been enough good engine
running time in the SCW without failure detected.
This timer is used to increment a Good Trip.
• Fuel System Good Trip Counter — A Trip
Counter used to turn OFF the MIL for Fuel System
DTCs. To increment a Fuel System Good Trip, the
engine must be in the Similar Conditions Window,
Adaptive Memory Factor must be less than calibrated threshold and the Adaptive Memory Factor
must stay below that threshold for a calibrated
amount of time.
• Test Done This Trip — Indicates that the
monitor has already been run and completed during
the current trip.
MISFIRE
• Same Misfire Warm-Up State — Indicates if
the misfire occurred when the engine was warmed up
(above 160° F).
• In Similar Misfire Window — An indicator
that ’Absolute MAP When Misfire Occurred’ and
’RPM When Misfire Occurred’ are all in the same
range when the failure occurred. Indicated by switching from ’NO’ to ’YES’.
• Absolute MAP When Misfire Occurred —
The stored MAP reading at the time of failure.
Informs the user at what engine load the failure
occurred.

EMISSIONS CONTROL 2.5L
TURBO DIESEL
Fuel Pressure: Fuel pressure is controlled by the
fuel injection pump and fuel pressure solenoid. The
ECM uses a fuel pressure sensor to determine if a
fuel pressure problem exists.
Fuel Injector Malfunctions: The ECM can determine if a fuel injector has an electrical problem. The
fuel injectors on the diesel engine are controlled by
the ECM.
DESCRIPTION
The 2.5L diesel Engine Control Module (ECM) controls many different circuits in the fuel injection
pump and engine systems. If the ECM senses a problem with a monitored circuit that indicates an actual
problem, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be
stored in the ECM’s memory, and eventually may
illuminate the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp)
constantly while the key is on. If the problem is
repaired, or is intermittent, the ECM will erase the
DTC after 40 warm-up cycles without the the fault
detected. A warm-up cycle consists of starting the
vehicle when the engine is cold, then the engine is
warmed up to a certain temperature, and finally, the
engine temperature falls to a normal operating temperature, then the key is turned off.
Certain criteria must be met for a DTC to be
entered into ECM memory. The criteria may be a
specific range of engine rpm, engine or fuel temperature and/or input voltage to the ECM. A DTC indicates that the ECM has identified an abnormal
signal in a circuit or the system.
There are several operating conditions that the
ECM does not monitor and set a DTC for. Refer to
the following Monitored Circuits and Non–Monitored
Circuits in this section.
ECM MONITORED SYSTEMS
The ECM can detect certain problems in the electrical system.
Open or Shorted Circuit – The ECM will not
distinguish between an open or a short to ground,
however the ECM can determine if there is excessive
current on a circuit, such as a short to voltage or a
decrease in component resistance.
Output Device Current Flow – The ECM senses
whether the output devices are electrically connected.
If there is a problem with the circuit, the ECM
senses whether the circuit is open, shorted to ground
(–), or shorted to (+) voltage.
ECM NON–MONITORED SYSTEMS
The ECM does not monitor the following circuits,
systems or conditions that could have malfunctions
that result in driveability problems. A DTC will not
be displayed for these conditions.
Cylinder Compression: The ECM cannot detect
uneven, low, or high engine cylinder compression.
Exhaust System: The ECM cannot detect a
plugged, restricted or leaking exhaust system.
Vacuum Assist: Leaks or restrictions in the vacuum circuits of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation System (EGR) are not monitored by the ECM.
ECM System Ground: The ECM cannot determine a poor system ground. However, a DTC may be
generated as a result of this condition.
ECM/PCM Connector Engagement: The ECM
cannot determine spread or damaged connector pins.
However, a DTC may be generated as a result of this
condition.
HIGH AND LOW LIMITS
The ECM compares input signals from each input
device. It has high and low limits that are programmed into it for that device. If the inputs are not
within specifications and other DTC criteria are met,
a DTC will be stored in memory. Other DTC criteria
might include engine rpm limits or input voltages
from other sensors or switches. The other inputs
might have to be sensed by the ECM when it senses
a high or low input voltage from the control system
device in question.

EXHAUST GAS
RECIRCULATION
DESCRIPTION
The EGR system reduces oxides of nitrogen (NOx)
in the engine exhaust. This is accomplished by allowing a predetermined amount of hot exhaust gas to
recirculate and dilute the incoming fuel/air mixture.
A malfunctioning EGR system can cause engine
stumble, sags, or hesitation, rough idle, engine stalling and poor driveability.
OPERATION
The system consists of:
• An EGR valve assembly. The valve is located on
the rear of the engine above the exhaust manfiold.
• An EGR solenoid.The EGR solenoid controls the
“on time” of the EGR valve.
• The ECM operates the EGR solenoid. The ECM
is located inside the vehicle under the instrument
panel.
• An EGR tube connects a passage in the EGR
valve to the rear of the exhaust manifold.
• The vacuum pump supplies vacuum for the EGR
solenoid and the EGR valve. This pump also supplies
vacuum for operation of the power brake boosterb
and the heating and air conditioning system. The
pump is located internally in the front of the engine
block and is driven by the crankshaft gear.

• Vacuum lines and hoses connect the various
components.
When the ECM supplies a variable ground signal
to the EGR solenoid, EGR system operation starts to
occur. The ECM will monitor and determine when to
supply and remove this variable ground signal. This
will depend on inputs from the engine coolant temperature, throttle position and engine speed sensors.
When the variable ground signal is supplied to the
EGR solenoid, vacuum from the vacuum pump will
be allowed to pass through the EGR solenoid and on
to the EGR valve with a connecting hose.
Exhaust gas recirculation will begin in this order
when:
• The ECM determines that EGR system operation is necessary.
• The engine is running to operate the vacuum
pump.
• A variable ground signal is supplied to the EGR
solenoid.
• Variable vacuum passes through the EGR solenoid to the EGR valve.
• The inlet seat (poppet valve) at the bottom of
the EGR valve opens to dilute and recirculate
exhaust gas back into the intake manifold.
The EGR system will be shut down by the ECM
after 60 seconds of continuous engine idling to
improve idle quality.

DESCRIPTION
The EGR system consists of (Fig. 1):
• EGR valve
• EGR tube
• Vacuum hoses
• EGR cooler
• EGR solenoid
OPERATION
The engines use Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
systems. The EGR system reduces oxides of nitrogen
(NOx) in engine exhaust and helps prevent detonation (engine knock). Under normal operating conditions, engine cylinder temperature can reach more
than 3000°F. Formation of NOx increases proportionally with combustion temperature. To reduce the
emission of these oxides, the cylinder temperature
must be lowered. The system allows a predetermined
amount of hot exhaust gas to recirculate and dilute
the incoming air/fuel mixture. The diluted air/fuel
mixture reduces peak flame temperature during combustion.

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS
DESCRIPTION - DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
On the following pages, a list of DTC’s is provided
for the 2.5L diesel engine. A DTC indicates that the
ECM has recognized an abnormal signal in a circuit
or the system. A DTC may indicate the result of a
failure, but most likely will not identify the failed
component directly. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic manual for more information on diagnosis of trouble codes.
ACCESSING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
A stored DTC can be displayed through the use of
the DRB IIIt scan tool. The DRB IIIt connects to the
data link connector. The data link connector is
located under the instrument panel near bottom of
the steering column (Fig. 1).
ERASING TROUBLE CODES
After the problem has been repaired, use the DRB
IIIt scan tool to erase a DTC.

WATER IN FUEL LAMP - EXPORT
The Water In Fuel Lamp is located in the instrument cluster. When moisture is found within the fuel
system, the sensor sends a message via the PCI data
bus to the instrument cluster. The sensor is located
underneath the vehicle, directly above the rear axle.
The sensor is housed within the fuel filter/water separator assembly cover. The sensor is not serviced separately. If found defective, the entire assembly cover
must be replaced.
OPERATION
Refer to the vehicle Owner’s Manual for operation
instructions and conditions for the Instrument Cluster Gauges.
WATER IN FUEL LAMP - EXPORT
The Water In Fuel Sensor is a resistive type
switch. It is calibrated to sense the different resistance between diesel fuel and water. When water
enters the fuel system, it is caught in the bottom of
the fuel filter/water separator assembly, where the
sensor is located. Water has less resistance than diesel fuel. The sensor then sends a PCI data bus message to the instrument cluster to illuminate the
lamp.
If the lamp is inoperative, perform the self diagnostic test on the instrument cluster to check the
lamp operation before continuing diagnosis.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - SELFDIAGNOSTICS
The instrument clusters are equipped with a self
diagnostic test feature to help identify electronic
problems. Prior to any test, perform the Self-Diagnostic Test. The self diagnostic system displays
instrument cluster stored fault codes in the odometer
display, sweeps the gauges to the calibration points,
and bulb checks the warning indicators. When the
key is in the ON position with the engine not running, the MIL will remain illuminated for regulatory
purposes.
To activate the Self-Diagnostic program:
(1) With the ignition switch in the OFF position,
depress the TRIP ODOMETER RESET button.
(2) Continue to hold the TRIP ODOMETER
RESET button until Sof and a number (software version number (i.e. Sof 3.2) appears in the odometer
window then release the button. If a fault code is
present, the cluster will display it in the odometer
display. When all fault codes have been displayed,
the cluster will display “end” in the odometer display. Refer to the INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DTC’S
table to determine what each trouble code means.

For battery system maintenance schedules and
jump starting procedures, see the owner’s manual in
the vehicle glove box. Optionally, refer to Lubrication
and Maintenance for the recommended battery maintenance schedules and for the proper battery jump
starting procedures. While battery charging can be
considered a maintenance procedure, the battery
charging procedures and related information are
located in the standard procedures section of this service manual. This was done because the battery must
be fully-charged before any battery system diagnosis
or testing procedures can be performed. Refer to
Standard procedures for the proper battery charging
procedures.
OPERATION
The battery system is designed to provide a safe,
efficient, reliable and mobile means of delivering and
storing electrical energy. This electrical energy is
required to operate the engine starting system, as
well as to operate many of the other vehicle accessory systems for limited durations while the engine
and/or the charging system are not operating. The
battery system is also designed to provide a reserve
of electrical energy to supplement the charging system for short durations while the engine is running
and the electrical current demands of the vehicle
exceed the output of the charging system. In addition
to delivering, and storing electrical energy for the
vehicle, the battery system serves as a capacitor and
voltage stabilizer for the vehicle electrical system. It
absorbs most abnormal or transient voltages caused
by the switching of any of the electrical components
or circuits in the vehicle.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BATTERY SYSTEM
The battery, starting, and charging systems in the
vehicle operate with one another and must be tested
as a complete system. In order for the engine to start
and the battery to maintain its charge properly, all of
the components that are used in these systems must
perform within specifications. It is important that
the battery, starting, and charging systems be thoroughly tested and inspected any time a battery needs
to be charged or replaced. The cause of abnormal battery discharge, overcharging or early battery failure
must be diagnosed and corrected before a battery is
replaced and before a vehicle is returned to service.
The service information for these systems has been
separated within this service manual to make it easier to locate the specific information you are seeking.
However, when attempting to diagnose any of these
systems, it is important that you keep their interdependency in mind.
The diagnostic procedures used for the battery,
starting, and charging systems include the most
basic conventional diagnostic methods, to the more
sophisticated On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) built into
the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Use of an
induction-type milliampere ammeter, a volt/ohmmeter, a battery charger, a carbon pile rheostat (load
tester) and a 12-volt test lamp may be required. All
OBD-sensed systems are monitored by the PCM.
Each monitored circuit is assigned a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). The PCM will store a DTC in electronic memory for any failure it detects. Refer to
Charging System for the proper charging system onboard diagnostic test procedures.
MICRO 420 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TESTER
The Micro 420 automotive battery system tester is
designed to help the dealership technicians diagnose
the cause of a defective battery. Follow the instruction manual supplied with the tester to properly
diagnose a vehicle. If the instruction manual is not
available refer to the standard procedure in this section, which includes the directions for using the
Micro 420 electrical system tester.

The battery Group Size number, the Cold Cranking
Amperage (CCA) rating, and the Reserve Capacity
(RC) rating or Ampere-Hours (AH) rating can be
found on the original equipment battery label. Be
certain that a replacement battery has the correct
Group Size number, as well as CCA, and RC or AH
ratings that equal or exceed the original equipment
specification for the vehicle being serviced. Battery
sizes and ratings are discussed in more detail below.
• Group Size - The outside dimensions and terminal placement of the battery conform to standards
established by the Battery Council International
(BCI). Each battery is assigned a BCI Group Size
number to help identify a correctly-sized replacement.
• Cold Cranking Amperage - The Cold Cranking Amperage (CCA) rating specifies how much current (in amperes) the battery can deliver for thirty
seconds at -18° C (0° F). Terminal voltage must not
fall below 7.2 volts during or after the thirty second
discharge period. The CCA required is generally
higher as engine displacement increases, depending
also upon the starter current draw requirements.
• Reserve Capacity - The Reserve Capacity (RC)
rating specifies the time (in minutes) it takes for battery terminal voltage to fall below 10.5 volts, at a
discharge rate of 25 amperes. RC is determined with
the battery fully-charged at 26.7° C (80° F). This rating estimates how long the battery might last after a
charging system failure, under minimum electrical
load.
• Ampere-Hours - The Ampere-Hours (AH) rating specifies the current (in amperes) that a battery
can deliver steadily for twenty hours, with the voltage in the battery not falling below 10.5 volts. This
rating is also sometimes identified as the twentyhour discharge rating.

MICRO 420 BATTERY TESTER
BATTERY
DESCRIPTION
There are three different batteries available on this
model. Vehicles equipped with a diesel engine utilize
a spiral wound plate designed battery with recombination technology. This is a maintenance-free battery
that is capable of delivering more power than a conventional battery. This additional power is required
by a diesel engine during cold cranking. Vehicles
equipped with a gasoline engine utilize a conventional battery. Refer to the following information for
detailed differences and descriptions of these batteries.
SPIRAL PLATE BATTERY - DIESEL ENGINE
Spiral plate technology takes the elements of traditional batteries - lead and sulfuric acid - to the next
level. By tightly winding layers of spiral grids and
acid-permeated vitreous separators into cells, the
manufacturer has developed a battery with more
power and service life than conventional batteries the
same size. The spiral plate battery is completely, permanently sealed. Through gas recombination, hydrogen and oxygen within the battery are captured
during normal charging and reunited to form the
water within the electrolyte, eliminating the need to
add distilled water. Therefore, these batteries have
non-removable battery vent caps (Fig. 4). Water cannot be added to this battery.
The acid inside an spiral plate battery is bound
within the vitreous separators, ending the threat of
acid leaks. This feature allows the battery to be
installed in any position anywhere in the vehicle.
Spiral plate technology is the process by which the
plates holding the active material in the battery are
wound tightly in coils instead of hanging flat, like
conventional batteries. This design has a lower internal resistance and also increases the active material
surface area.
WARNING: NEVER EXCEED 14.4 VOLTS WHEN
CHARGING A SPIRAL PLATE BATTERY. PERSONAL
INJURY AND/OR BATTERY DAMAGE MAY RESULT.
Due to the maintanance-free design, distilled water
cannot be added to this battery. Therefore, if more
than 14.4 volts are used during the spiral plate battery charging process, water vapor can be exhausted
through the pressure-sensitive battery vents and lost
for good. This can permanently damage the spiral
plate battery. Never exceed 14.4 volts when charging
a spiral plate battery. Personal injury and/or battery
damage may result.

2 - BATTERY CASE
Low-maintenance batteries are used on vehicles
equipped with a gasoline engine, these batteries have
removable battery cell caps (Fig. 5). Water can be
added to this battery. Under normal service, the composition of this battery reduces gassing and water
loss at normal charge rates. However these batteries
may require additional distilled water after years of
service.
Maintenance-free batteries are standard factory-installed equipment on this model. Male post type
terminals made of a soft lead material protrude from
the top of the molded plastic battery case (Fig. 6)to
provide the means for connecting the battery to the
vehicle electrical system. The battery positive terminal post is visibly larger in diameter than the negative terminal post, for easy identification. The letters
POS and NEG are also molded into the top of the
battery case adjacent to their respective positive and

This battery is designed to provide a safe, efficient
and reliable means of storing electrical energy in a

for limited durations while the engine and/or the
charging system are not operating. The battery is
made up of six individual cells that are connected in
series. Each cell contains positively charged plate
groups that are connected with lead straps to the
positive terminal post, and negatively charged plate
groups that are connected with lead straps to the
negative terminal post. Each plate consists of a stiff
mesh framework or grid coated with lead dioxide
(positive plate) or sponge lead (negative plate). Insulators or plate separators made of a non-conductive
material are inserted between the positive and negative plates to prevent them from contacting or shorting against one another. These dissimilar metal
plates are submerged in a sulfuric acid and water
solution called an electrolyte.
Some factory-installed batteries have a built-in test
indicator (hydrometer). The color visible in the sight
glass of the indicator will reveal the battery condition. For more information on the use of the built-in
test indicator, refer to Standard Procedures The
chemical composition of the metal coated plates
within the low-maintenance battery reduces battery
gassing and water loss, at normal charge and discharge rates. Therefore, the battery should not
require additional water in normal service. If the
electrolyte level in this battery does become low, distilled water must be added. However, rapid loss of

electrolyte can be caused by an overcharging condition. Be certain to diagnose the charging system after
replenishing the water in the battery for a low electrolyte condition and before returning the vehicle to
service. Refer to Charging System for additional
information.
The battery Group Size number, the Cold Cranking
Amperage (CCA) rating, and the Reserve Capacity
(RC) rating or Ampere-Hours (AH) rating can be
found on the original equipment battery label. Be
certain that a replacement battery has the correct
Group Size number, as well as CCA, and RC or AH
ratings that equal or exceed the original equipment
specification for the vehicle being serviced. Refer to
Battery Specifications in this group for the location of the proper factory-installed battery specifications.
OPERATION
The battery is designed to store electrical energy in
a chemical form. When an electrical load is applied to
the terminals of the battery, an electrochemical reaction occurs. This reaction causes the battery to discharge electrical current from its terminals. As the
battery discharges, a gradual chemical change takes
place within each cell. The sulfuric acid in the electrolyte combines with the plate materials, causing
both plates to slowly change to lead sulfate. At the
same time, oxygen from the positive plate material
combines with hydrogen from the sulfuric acid, causing the electrolyte to become mainly water. The
chemical changes within the battery are caused by
the movement of excess or free electrons between the
positive and negative plate groups. This movement of
electrons produces a flow of electrical current
through the load device attached to the battery terminals.
As the plate materials become more similar chemically, and the electrolyte becomes less acid, the voltage potential of each cell is reduced. However, by
charging the battery with a voltage higher than that
of the battery itself, the battery discharging process
is reversed. Charging the battery gradually changes
the sulfated lead plates back into sponge lead and
lead dioxide, and the water back into sulfuric acid.
This action restores the difference in the electron
charges deposited on the plates, and the voltage
potential of the battery cells. For a battery to remain
useful, it must be able to produce high-amperage current over an extended period. A battery must also be
able to accept a charge, so that its voltage potential
may be restored.
The battery is vented to release excess hydrogen
gas that is created when the battery is being charged
or discharged. However, even with these vents,
hydrogen gas can collect in or around the battery. If
hydrogen gas is exposed to flame or sparks, it may
ignite. If the electrolyte level is low, the battery may
arc internally and explode. If the battery is equipped
with removable cell caps, add distilled water whenever the electrolyte level is below the top of the
plates. If the battery cell caps cannot be removed, the
battery must be replaced if the electrolyte level
becomes low.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BATTERY
The battery must be completely charged and the
terminals should be properly cleaned and inspected
before diagnostic procedures are performed. Refer to
Battery System Cleaning for the proper cleaning procedures, and Battery System Inspection for the
proper battery inspection procedures. Refer to Standard Procedures for the proper battery charging procedures.

CHARGING A COMPLETELY DISCHARGED
BATTERY – SPIRAL PLATE BATTERY
The following procedure should be used to recharge
a completely discharged battery. Unless this procedure is properly followed, a good battery may be
needlessly replaced.
(1) Measure the voltage at the battery posts with a
voltmeter, accurate to 1/10 (0.10) volt (Fig. 7). If the
reading is below ten volts, the battery charging current will be low. It could take some time before the
battery accepts a current greater than a few milliamperes. Such low current may not be detectable on the
ammeters built into many battery chargers.
Fig. 7 Voltmeter - Typical
(2) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Connect the battery charger leads. Some battery chargers are equipped with polarity-sensing circuitry. This circuitry protects the battery charger and
the battery from being damaged if they are improperly connected. If the battery state-of-charge is too
low for the polarity-sensing circuitry to detect, the
battery charger will not operate. This makes it
appear that the battery will not accept charging current. See the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the battery charger for details on how to
bypass the polarity-sensing circuitry.
(3) Battery chargers vary in the amount of voltage
and current they provide. The amount of time
required for a battery to accept measurable charging
current at various voltages is shown in the Charge
Rate Table. If the charging current is still not measurable at the end of the charging time, the battery
is faulty and must be replaced. If the charging current is measurable during the charging time, the battery may be good and the charging should be
completed in the normal manner.

The time required to charge a battery will vary,
depending upon the following factors:
• Battery Capacity - A completely discharged
heavy-duty battery requires twice the charging time
of a small capacity battery.
• Temperature - A longer time will be needed to
charge a battery at -18° C (0° F) than at 27° C (80°
F). When a fast battery charger is connected to a cold
battery, the current accepted by the battery will be
very low at first. As the battery warms, it will accept
a higher charging current rate (amperage).
• Charger Capacity - A battery charger that
supplies only five amperes will require a longer
charging time. A battery charger that supplies eight
amperes will require a shorter charging time.
• State-Of-Charge - A completely discharged battery requires more charging time than a partially
discharged battery. Electrolyte is nearly pure water
in a completely discharged battery. At first, the
charging current (amperage) will be low. As the battery charges, the specific gravity of the electrolyte
will gradually rise.

A battery open-circuit voltage (no load) test will
show the approximate state-of-charge of a battery.
This test can be used if no other battery tester is
available.
Before proceeding with this test, completely charge
the battery. Refer to Standard Procedures for the
proper battery charging procedures.
(1) Before measuring the open-circuit voltage, the
surface charge must be removed from the battery.
Turn on the headlamps for fifteen seconds, then
allow up to five minutes for the battery voltage to
stabilize.
(2) Disconnect and isolate both battery cables, negative cable first.
(3) Using a voltmeter connected to the battery
posts (see the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the voltmeter), measure the open-circuit voltage (Fig. 9).
Fig. 9 Testing Open-Circuit Voltage - Typical

STANDARD PROCEDURE - IGNITION-OFF
DRAW TEST
The term Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) identifies a normal condition where power is being drained from the
battery with the ignition switch in the Off position. A
normal vehicle electrical system will draw from five
to thirty-five milliamperes (0.015 to 0.025 ampere)
with the ignition switch in the Off position, and all
non-ignition controlled circuits in proper working
order. Up to twenty-five milliamperes are needed to
enable the memory functions for the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), digital clock, electronically tuned
radio, and other modules which may vary with the
vehicle equipment.
A vehicle that has not been operated for approximately twenty-one days, may discharge the battery
to an inadequate level. When a vehicle will not be
used for twenty-one days or more (stored), remove
the IOD fuse from the Integrated Power Module
(IPM). This will reduce battery discharging.
Excessive IOD can be caused by:
• Electrical items left on.
• Faulty or improperly adjusted switches.
• Faulty or shorted electronic modules and components.
• An internally shorted generator.
• Intermittent shorts in the wiring.
If the IOD is over twenty-five milliamperes, the
problem must be found and corrected before replacing a battery. In most cases, the battery can be
charged and returned to service after the excessive
IOD condition has been corrected.
(1) Verify that all electrical accessories are off.
Turn off all lamps, remove the ignition key, and close
all doors. If the vehicle is equipped with an illuminated entry system or an electronically tuned radio,
allow the electronic timer function of these systems
to automatically shut off (time out). This may take
up to three minutes.
(2) Disconnect the battery negative cable.
(3) Set an electronic digital multi-meter to its
highest amperage scale. Connect the multi-meter
8F - 14
BATTERY SYSTEM
RS
BATTERY (Continued)
between the disconnected battery negative cable terminal clamp and the battery negative terminal post.
Make sure that the doors remain closed so that the
illuminated entry system is not activated. The multimeter amperage reading may remain high for up to
three minutes, or may not give any reading at all
while set in the highest amperage scale, depending
upon the electrical equipment in the vehicle. The
multi-meter leads must be securely clamped to the
battery negative cable terminal clamp and the battery negative terminal post. If continuity between the
battery negative terminal post and the negative cable
terminal clamp is lost during any part of the IOD
test, the electronic timer function will be activated
and all of the tests will have to be repeated.
(4) After about three minutes, the high-amperage
IOD reading on the multi-meter should become very
low or nonexistent, depending upon the electrical
equipment in the vehicle. If the amperage reading
remains high, remove and replace each fuse or circuit
breaker in the Integrated Power Module (IPM), one
at a time until the amperage reading becomes very
low, or nonexistent. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information in this service manual for complete Integrated Power Module fuse, circuit breaker, and circuit identification. This will isolate each circuit and
identify the circuit that is the source of the high-amperage IOD. If the amperage reading remains high
after removing and replacing each fuse and circuit
breaker, disconnect the wire harness from the generator. If the amperage reading now becomes very low
or nonexistent, refer to Charging System for the
proper charging system diagnosis and testing procedures. After the high-amperage IOD has been corrected, switch the multi-meter to progressively lower
amperage scales and, if necessary, repeat the fuse
and circuit breaker remove-and-replace process to
identify and correct all sources of excessive IOD. It is
now safe to select the lowest milliampere scale of the
multi-meter to check the low-amperage IOD.
CAUTION: Do not open any doors, or turn on any
electrical accessories with the lowest milliampere
scale selected, or the multi-meter may be damaged.
(5) Allow twenty minutes for the IOD to stabilize
and observe the multi-meter reading. The low-amperage IOD should not exceed twenty-five milliamperes
(0.025 ampere). If the current draw exceeds twentyfive milliamperes, isolate each circuit using the fuse
and circuit breaker remove-and-replace process in
Step 4. The multi-meter reading will drop to within
the acceptable limit when the source of the excessive
current draw is disconnected. Repair this circuit as
required; whether a wiring short, incorrect switch
adjustment, or a component failure is at fault.

BATTERY CABLES
DESCRIPTION
The battery cables are large gauge, stranded copper wires sheathed within a heavy plastic or synthetic rubber insulating jacket. The wire used in the
battery cables combines excellent flexibility and reliability with high electrical current carrying capacity.
Refer to Wiring Diagrams in the index of this service manual for the location of the proper battery
cable wire gauge information.
A clamping type female battery terminal made of
stamped metal is attached to one end of the battery
cable wire. A square headed pinch-bolt and hex nut
are installed at the open end of the female battery
terminal clamp. Large eyelet type terminals are
crimped onto the opposite end of the battery cable
wire and then solder-dipped. The battery positive
cable wires have a red insulating jacket to provide
visual identification and feature a larger female battery terminal clamp to allow connection to the larger
battery positive terminal post. The battery negative
cable wires have a black insulating jacket and a
smaller female battery terminal clamp.
The battery cables cannot be repaired and, if damaged or faulty they must be replaced. Both the battery positive and negative cables are available for
service replacement only as a unit with the battery
wire harness, which may include portions of the wiring circuits for the generator and other components
on some models. Refer to Wiring Diagrams in the
index of this service manual for the location of more
information on the various wiring circuits included in
the battery wire harness for the vehicle being serviced.
OPERATION
The battery cables connect the battery terminal
posts to the vehicle electrical system. These cables
also provide a path back to the battery for electrical
current generated by the charging system for restoring the voltage potential of the battery. The female
battery terminal clamps on the ends of the battery
cable wires provide a strong and reliable connection
of the battery cable to the battery terminal posts.
The terminal pinch bolts allow the female terminal
clamps to be tightened around the male terminal
posts on the top of the battery. The eyelet terminals
secured to the opposite ends of the battery cable
wires from the female battery terminal clamps provide secure and reliable connection of the battery
cables to the vehicle electrical system.
The battery positive cable terminal clamp is
attached to the ends of two wires. One wire has an
eyelet terminal that connects the battery positive
cable to the B(+) terminal stud of the Integrated
Power Module (IPM), and the other wire has an eyelet terminal that connects the battery positive cable
to the B(+) terminal stud of the engine starter motor
solenoid. The battery negative cable terminal clamp
is also attached to the ends of two wires. One wire
has an eyelet terminal that connects the battery negative cable to the vehicle powertrain through a stud
on the left side of the engine cylinder block. The
other wire has an eyelet terminal that connects the
battery negative cable to the vehicle body through a
ground screw on the left front fender inner shield,
near the battery.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BATTERY CABLE
A voltage drop test will determine if there is excessive resistance in the battery cable terminal connections or the battery cable. If excessive resistance is
found in the battery cable connections, the connection point should be disassembled, cleaned of all corrosion or foreign material, then reassembled.
Following reassembly, check the voltage drop for the
battery cable connection and the battery cable again
to confirm repair.
When performing the voltage drop test, it is important to remember that the voltage drop is giving an
indication of the resistance between the two points at
which the voltmeter probes are attached. EXAMPLE: When testing the resistance of the battery positive cable, touch the voltmeter leads to the battery
positive cable terminal clamp and to the battery positive cable eyelet terminal at the starter solenoid
B(+) terminal stud. If you probe the battery positive
terminal post and the battery positive cable eyelet
terminal at the starter solenoid B(+) terminal stud,
you are reading the combined voltage drop in the
battery positive cable terminal clamp-to-terminal
post connection and the battery positive cable.

The generator is driven by the engine through a
serpentine belt and pulley or decoupler pulley
arrangement.
The amount of DC current produced by the generator is controlled by the EVR (field control) circuitry
contained within the PCM. This circuitry is connected in series with the second rotor field terminal
and ground.
An Inlet air temperature sensor is used to calculate the temperature near the battery. This temperature data, along with data from monitored line
voltage (battery voltage sense circuit), is used by the
PCM to vary the battery charging rate. This is done
by cycling the ground path to control the strength of
the rotor magnetic field. The PCM then compensates
and regulates generator current output accordingly
to maintain system voltage at the targeted system
voltage based on battery temperature.
All vehicles are equipped with On-Board Diagnostics (OBD). All OBD-sensed systems, including EVR
(field control) circuitry, are monitored by the PCM.
Each monitored circuit is assigned a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). The PCM will store a DTC in electronic memory for certain failures it detects and
illuminate the (MIL) lamp. Refer to On-Board Diagnostics in the Electronic Control Modules(Refer to 8 ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
CONTROL
MODULES/POWERTRAIN
CONTROL
MODULE
DESCRIPTION) section for more DTC information.

CHARGING
RS
CHARGING (Continued)
The Check Gauges Lamp (if equipped) or Battery
Lamp monitors: charging system voltage, engine
coolant temperature and engine oil pressure. If an
extreme condition is indicated, the lamp will be illuminated. The signal to activate the lamp is sent via
the PCI bus circuits. The lamp is located on the
instrument panel. Refer to the Instrument Cluster
section for additional information.
The PCM uses the inlet air temperature sensor to
control the charge system voltage. This temperature,
along with data from monitored line voltage, is used
by the PCM to vary the battery charging rate. The
system voltage is higher at cold temperatures and is
gradually reduced as the calculated battery temperature increases.
The ambient temperature sensor is used to control
the battery voltage based upon ambient temperature
(approximation of battery temperature). The PCM
maintains the optimal output of the generator by
monitoring battery voltage and controlling it to a
range of 13.5 - 14.7 volts based on battery temperature.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ON-BOARD
DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors
critical input and output circuits of the charging system, making sure they are operational. A Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) is assigned to each input and
output circuit monitored by the OBD system. Some
circuits are checked continuously and some are
checked only under certain conditions.
If the OBD system senses that a monitored circuit
is bad, it will put a DTC into electronic memory. The
DTC will stay in electronic memory as long as the
circuit continues to be bad. The PCM is programmed
to clear the memory after 50 engine starts if the
problem does not occur again.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
A DTC description can be read using the DRBIIIt
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures manual for information.
A DTC does not identify which component in a circuit is bad. Thus, a DTC should be treated as a
symptom, not as the cause for the problem. In some
cases, because of the design of the diagnostic test
procedure, a DTC can be the reason for another DTC
to be set. Therefore, it is important that the test procedures be followed in sequence, to understand what
caused a DTC to be set.
ERASING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
The DRBIIIt Scan Tool must be used to erase a
DTC.
The following procedures may be used to diagnose
the charging system if:
• the check gauges lamp or battery lamp is illuminated with the engine running
• the voltmeter (if equipped) does not register
properly
• an undercharged or overcharged battery condition occurs.
Remember that an undercharged battery is often
caused by:
• accessories being left on with the engine not
running
• a faulty or improperly adjusted switch that
allows a lamp to stay on. Refer to Ignition-Off Draw
Test (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/BATTERY SYSTEM/
BATTERY - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
INSPECTION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors
critical input and output circuits of the charging system, making sure they are operational. A Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) is assigned to each input and
output circuit monitored by the On-Board Diagnostic
(OBD) system. Some charging system circuits are
checked continuously, and some are checked only
under certain conditions.
Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Codes in; Powertrain
Control Module; Electronic Control Modules for more
DTC information. This will include a complete list of
DTC’s including DTC’s for the charging system.
To perform a complete test of the charging system,
refer to the appropriate Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures service manual and the DRBIIIt scan tool.
Perform the following inspections before attaching
the scan tool.
(1) Inspect the battery condition. Refer to the Battery section (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/BATTERY

BATTERY TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The PCM incorporates a Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) on its circuit board.
OPERATION
The PCM uses the temperature of the battery area
to control the charge system voltage. This temperature, along with data from monitored line voltage, is
used by the PCM to vary the battery charging rate.
The system voltage is higher at cold temperatures
and is gradually reduced as temperature around the
battery increases.
The ambient temperature sensor is used to control
the battery voltage based upon ambient temperature
(approximation of battery temperature). The PCM
maintains the optimal output of the generator by
monitoring battery voltage and controlling it to a
range of 13.5 - 14.7 volts based on battery temperature.
The battery temperature sensor is also used for
OBD II diagnostics. Certain faults and OBD II monitors are either enabled or disabled depending upon
the battery temperature sensor input (example: disable purge and EGR, enable LDP). Most OBD II
monitors are disabled below 20°F.
REMOVAL
The battery temperature sensor is not serviced separately. If replacement is necessary, the PCM must
be replaced.
GENERATOR
DESCRIPTION
The generator is belt-driven by the engine. It is
serviced only as a complete assembly. The generator
produces DC voltage at the B+ terminal. If the generator is failed, the generator assembly subcomponents (generator and decoupler pulley) must be
inspected for individual failure and replaced accordingly.
OPERATION
As the energized rotor begins to rotate within the
generator, the spinning magnetic field induces a current into the windings of the stator coil. Once the
generator begins producing sufficient current, it also
provides the current needed to energize the rotor.
The Y type stator winding connections deliver the
induced AC current to 3 positive and 3 negative
diodes for rectification. From the diodes, rectified DC
RS
current is delivered to the vehicles electrical system
through the generator, battery, and ground terminals.
Excessive or abnormal noise emitting from the generator may be caused by:
• Worn, loose or defective bearings
• Loose or defective drive pulley (2.4L) or decoupler (3.3/3.8L)
• Incorrect, worn, damaged or misadjusted drive
belt
• Loose mounting bolts
• Misaligned drive pulley
• Defective stator or diode
• Damaged internal fins

The amount of DC current produced by the generator is controlled by EVR circuitry contained within
the PCM. This circuitry is connected in series with
the generators second rotor field terminal and its
ground.
Voltage is regulated by cycling the ground path to
control the strength of the rotor magnetic field. The
EVR circuitry monitors system line voltage (B+) and
calculated battery temperature or inlet air temperature sensor (refer to Inlet Air Temperature Sensor, if
equipped, for more information ). It then determines
a target charging voltage. If sensed battery voltage is
lower than the target voltage, the PCM grounds the
field winding until sensed battery voltage is at the
target voltage. A circuit in the PCM cycles the
ground side of the generator field at 250 times per
second (250Hz), but has the capability to ground the
field control wire 100% of the time (full field) to
achieve the target voltage. If the charging rate cannot be monitored (limp-in), a duty cycle of 25% is
used by the PCM in order to have some generator
output. Also refer to Charging System Operation for
additional information.

(1) The relay common feed terminal cavity (30) is
connected to battery voltage and should be hot at all
times. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the open
circuit to the PDC fuse as required.
(2) The relay normally closed terminal (87A) is
connected to terminal 30 in the de-energized position,
but is not used for this application. Go to Step 3.
(3) The relay normally open terminal (87) is connected to the common feed terminal (30) in the energized position. This terminal supplies battery voltage
to the starter solenoid field coils. There should be
continuity between the cavity for relay terminal 87
and the starter solenoid terminal at all times. If OK,
go to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open circuit to the
starter solenoid as required.
(4) The coil battery terminal (86) is connected to
the electromagnet in the relay. It is energized when
the ignition switch is held in the Start position and
the clutch pedal is depressed (manual trans). Check
for battery voltage at the cavity for relay terminal 86
with the ignition switch in the Start position and the
clutch pedal is depressed (manual trans), and no
voltage when the ignition switch is released to the
On position. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, check for
an open or short circuit to the ignition switch and
repair, if required. If the circuit to the ignition switch
is OK, see the Ignition Switch Test procedure in this
group.
(5) The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to
the electromagnet in the relay. It is grounded
through the transmission range sensor only when the
gearshift selector lever is in the Park or Neutral
positions. Check for continuity to ground at the cavity for relay terminal 85. If not OK with an automatic transmission, check for an open or short circuit
to the transmission range sensor and repair. It is
grounded by the PCM if the conditions are right to
start the car. For automatic trans. cars the PCM
must see Park Neutral switch and near zero engine
rpm. For manual trans. cars the PCM only needs to
see near zero engine rpm. To diagnose the Park Neutral switch of the trans range sensor refer to the
transaxle section for more information. Check for
continuity to ground while the ignition switch is in
the start position. If not OK and the vehicle has an
automatic trans. verify Park Neutral switch opera-

• Battery Holddown - The battery holddown
hardware secures the battery in the battery tray in
the engine compartment.
• Battery Thermowrap - The battery thermowarp insulates the battery to protect it from
engine compartment temperature extremes.
• Battery Tray - The battery tray provides a
secure mounting location in the vehicle for the battery and an anchor point for the battery holddown
hardware.
For battery system maintenance schedules and
jump starting procedures, see the owner’s manual in
the vehicle glove box. Optionally, refer to Lubrication
and Maintenance for the recommended battery maintenance schedules and for the proper battery jump
starting procedures. While battery charging can be
considered a maintenance procedure, the battery
charging procedures and related information are
located in the standard procedures section of this service manual. This was done because the battery must
be fully-charged before any battery system diagnosis
or testing procedures can be performed. Refer to
Standard procedures for the proper battery charging
procedures.
OPERATION
The battery system is designed to provide a safe,
efficient, reliable and mobile means of delivering and
storing electrical energy. This electrical energy is
required to operate the engine starting system, as
well as to operate many of the other vehicle accessory systems for limited durations while the engine
and/or the charging system are not operating. The
battery system is also designed to provide a reserve
of electrical energy to supplement the charging system for short durations while the engine is running
and the electrical current demands of the vehicle
exceed the output of the charging system. In addition
to delivering, and storing electrical energy for the
vehicle, the battery system serves as a capacitor and
voltage stabilizer for the vehicle electrical system. It
absorbs most abnormal or transient voltages caused
by the switching of any of the electrical components
or circuits in the vehicle.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BATTERY SYSTEM
The battery, starting, and charging systems in the
vehicle operate with one another and must be tested
as a complete system. In order for the engine to start
and the battery to maintain its charge properly, all of
the components that are used in these systems must
perform within specifications. It is important that
the battery, starting, and charging systems be thoroughly tested and inspected any time a battery needs
to be charged or replaced. The cause of abnormal battery discharge, overcharging or early battery failure
must be diagnosed and corrected before a battery is
replaced and before a vehicle is returned to service.
The service information for these systems has been
separated within this service manual to make it easier to locate the specific information you are seeking.
However, when attempting to diagnose any of these
systems, it is important that you keep their interdependency in mind.
The diagnostic procedures used for the battery,
starting, and charging systems include the most
basic conventional diagnostic methods, to the more
sophisticated On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) built into
the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Use of an
induction-type milliampere ammeter, a volt/ohmmeter, a battery charger, a carbon pile rheostat (load
tester) and a 12-volt test lamp may be required. All
OBD-sensed systems are monitored by the PCM.
Each monitored circuit is assigned a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). The PCM will store a DTC in electronic memory for any failure it detects. Refer to
Charging System for the proper charging system onboard diagnostic test procedures.
MICRO 420 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TESTER
The Micro 420 automotive battery system tester is
designed to help the dealership technicians diagnose
the cause of a defective battery. Follow the instruction manual supplied with the tester to properly
diagnose a vehicle. If the instruction manual is not
available refer to the standard procedure in this section, which includes the directions for using the
Micro 420 electrical system tester.

The battery Group Size number, the Cold Cranking
Amperage (CCA) rating, and the Reserve Capacity
(RC) rating or Ampere-Hours (AH) rating can be
found on the original equipment battery label. Be
certain that a replacement battery has the correct
Group Size number, as well as CCA, and RC or AH
ratings that equal or exceed the original equipment
specification for the vehicle being serviced. Battery
sizes and ratings are discussed in more detail below.
• Group Size - The outside dimensions and terminal placement of the battery conform to standards
established by the Battery Council International
(BCI). Each battery is assigned a BCI Group Size
number to help identify a correctly-sized replacement.
• Cold Cranking Amperage - The Cold Cranking Amperage (CCA) rating specifies how much current (in amperes) the battery can deliver for thirty
seconds at -18° C (0° F). Terminal voltage must not
fall below 7.2 volts during or after the thirty second
discharge period. The CCA required is generally
higher as engine displacement increases, depending
also upon the starter current draw requirements.
• Reserve Capacity - The Reserve Capacity (RC)
rating specifies the time (in minutes) it takes for battery terminal voltage to fall below 10.5 volts, at a
discharge rate of 25 amperes. RC is determined with
the battery fully-charged at 26.7° C (80° F). This rating estimates how long the battery might last after a
charging system failure, under minimum electrical
load.
• Ampere-Hours - The Ampere-Hours (AH) rating specifies the current (in amperes) that a battery
can deliver steadily for twenty hours, with the voltage in the battery not falling below 10.5 volts. This
rating is also sometimes identified as the twentyhour discharge rating.

DESCRIPTION
There are three different batteries available on this
model. Vehicles equipped with a diesel engine utilize
a spiral wound plate designed battery with recombination technology. This is a maintenance-free battery
that is capable of delivering more power than a conventional battery. This additional power is required
by a diesel engine during cold cranking. Vehicles
equipped with a gasoline engine utilize a conventional battery. Refer to the following information for
detailed differences and descriptions of these batteries.
SPIRAL PLATE BATTERY - DIESEL ENGINE
Spiral plate technology takes the elements of traditional batteries - lead and sulfuric acid - to the next
level. By tightly winding layers of spiral grids and
acid-permeated vitreous separators into cells, the
manufacturer has developed a battery with more
power and service life than conventional batteries the
same size. The spiral plate battery is completely, permanently sealed. Through gas recombination, hydrogen and oxygen within the battery are captured
during normal charging and reunited to form the
water within the electrolyte, eliminating the need to
add distilled water. Therefore, these batteries have
non-removable battery vent caps (Fig. 4). Water cannot be added to this battery.
The acid inside an spiral plate battery is bound
within the vitreous separators, ending the threat of
acid leaks. This feature allows the battery to be
installed in any position anywhere in the vehicle.
Spiral plate technology is the process by which the
plates holding the active material in the battery are
wound tightly in coils instead of hanging flat, like
conventional batteries. This design has a lower inter-

nal resistance and also increases the active material
surface area.
WARNING: NEVER EXCEED 14.4 VOLTS WHEN
CHARGING A SPIRAL PLATE BATTERY. PERSONAL
INJURY AND/OR BATTERY DAMAGE MAY RESULT.
Due to the maintanance-free design, distilled water
cannot be added to this battery. Therefore, if more
than 14.4 volts are used during the spiral plate battery charging process, water vapor can be exhausted
through the pressure-sensitive battery vents and lost
for good. This can permanently damage the spiral
plate battery. Never exceed 14.4 volts when charging
a spiral plate battery. Personal injury and/or battery
damage may result.
terminals made of a soft lead material protrude from
the top of the molded plastic battery case (Fig. 6)to
provide the means for connecting the battery to the
vehicle electrical system. The battery positive terminal post is visibly larger in diameter than the negative terminal post, for easy identification. The letters
POS and NEG are also molded into the top of the
battery case adjacent to their respective positive and
negative terminal posts for additional identification
confirmation.

Low-maintenance batteries are used on vehicles

loss at normal charge rates. However these batteries
may require additional distilled water after years of
service.
Maintenance-free batteries are standard factory-installed equipment on this model. Male post type
This battery is designed to provide a safe, efficient
and reliable means of storing electrical energy in a
chemical form. This means of energy storage allows
the battery to produce the electrical energy required
to operate the engine starting system, as well as to
operate many of the other vehicle accessory systems
for limited durations while the engine and/or the
charging system are not operating. The battery is
made up of six individual cells that are connected in
series. Each cell contains positively charged plate
groups that are connected with lead straps to the
positive terminal post, and negatively charged plate
groups that are connected with lead straps to the
negative terminal post. Each plate consists of a stiff
mesh framework or grid coated with lead dioxide
(positive plate) or sponge lead (negative plate). Insulators or plate separators made of a non-conductive
material are inserted between the positive and nega-

tive plates to prevent them from contacting or shorting against one another. These dissimilar metal
plates are submerged in a sulfuric acid and water
solution called an electrolyte.
Some factory-installed batteries have a built-in test
indicator (hydrometer). The color visible in the sight
glass of the indicator will reveal the battery condition. For more information on the use of the built-in
test indicator, refer to Standard Procedures The
chemical composition of the metal coated plates
within the low-maintenance battery reduces battery
gassing and water loss, at normal charge and discharge rates. Therefore, the battery should not
require additional water in normal service. If the
electrolyte level in this battery does become low, distilled water must be added. However, rapid loss of
electrolyte can be caused by an overcharging condition. Be certain to diagnose the charging system after
replenishing the water in the battery for a low electrolyte condition and before returning the vehicle to
service. Refer to Charging System for additional
information.
The battery Group Size number, the Cold Cranking
Amperage (CCA) rating, and the Reserve Capacity
(RC) rating or Ampere-Hours (AH) rating can be
found on the original equipment battery label. Be
certain that a replacement battery has the correct
Group Size number, as well as CCA, and RC or AH
ratings that equal or exceed the original equipment
specification for the vehicle being serviced. Refer to
Battery Specifications in this group for the location of the proper factory-installed battery specifications.
OPERATION
The battery is designed to store electrical energy in
a chemical form. When an electrical load is applied to
the terminals of the battery, an electrochemical reaction occurs. This reaction causes the battery to discharge electrical current from its terminals. As the
battery discharges, a gradual chemical change takes
place within each cell. The sulfuric acid in the electrolyte combines with the plate materials, causing
both plates to slowly change to lead sulfate. At the
same time, oxygen from the positive plate material
combines with hydrogen from the sulfuric acid, causing the electrolyte to become mainly water. The
chemical changes within the battery are caused by
the movement of excess or free electrons between the
positive and negative plate groups. This movement of
electrons produces a flow of electrical current
through the load device attached to the battery terminals.
As the plate materials become more similar chemically, and the electrolyte becomes less acid, the voltage potential of each cell is reduced. However, by
charging the battery with a voltage higher than that
of the battery itself, the battery discharging process
is reversed. Charging the battery gradually changes
the sulfated lead plates back into sponge lead and
lead dioxide, and the water back into sulfuric acid.
This action restores the difference in the electron
charges deposited on the plates, and the voltage
potential of the battery cells. For a battery to remain
useful, it must be able to produce high-amperage current over an extended period. A battery must also be
able to accept a charge, so that its voltage potential
may be restored.
The battery is vented to release excess hydrogen
gas that is created when the battery is being charged
or discharged. However, even with these vents,
hydrogen gas can collect in or around the battery. If
hydrogen gas is exposed to flame or sparks, it may
ignite. If the electrolyte level is low, the battery may
arc internally and explode. If the battery is equipped
with removable cell caps, add distilled water whenever the electrolyte level is below the top of the
plates. If the battery cell caps cannot be removed, the
battery must be replaced if the electrolyte level
becomes low.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BATTERY
The battery must be completely charged and the
terminals should be properly cleaned and inspected
before diagnostic procedures are performed. Refer to
Battery System Cleaning for the proper cleaning procedures, and Battery System Inspection for the
proper battery inspection procedures. Refer to Standard Procedures for the proper battery charging procedures.
MICRO 420 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TESTER
The Micro420 automotive battery tester is designed

unique spiral plate battery. This battery has a maximum charging voltage that must be used in order to
restore the battery to its full potential, failure to use
the following spiral plate battery charging procedure
could result in damage to the battery or personal
injury.
Battery charging is the means by which the battery can be restored to its full voltage potential. A
battery is fully-charged when:
• Micro 420 electrical system tester indicates battery is OK.
• Open-circuit voltage of the battery is 12.65 volts
or above.
• Battery passes Load Test multiple times.

CHARGING A COMPLETELY DISCHARGED
BATTERY – SPIRAL PLATE BATTERY
The following procedure should be used to recharge
a completely discharged battery. Unless this procedure is properly followed, a good battery may be
needlessly replaced.
(1) Measure the voltage at the battery posts with a
voltmeter, accurate to 1/10 (0.10) volt (Fig. 7). If the
reading is below ten volts, the battery charging current will be low. It could take some time before the
battery accepts a current greater than a few milliamperes. Such low current may not be detectable on the
ammeters built into many battery chargers.

(2) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Connect the battery charger leads. Some battery chargers are equipped with polarity-sensing circuitry. This circuitry protects the battery charger and
the battery from being damaged if they are improperly connected. If the battery state-of-charge is too
low for the polarity-sensing circuitry to detect, the
battery charger will not operate. This makes it

battery, the current accepted by the battery will be
very low at first. As the battery warms, it will accept
a higher charging current rate (amperage).
• Charger Capacity - A battery charger that
supplies only five amperes will require a longer
charging time. A battery charger that supplies eight
amperes will require a shorter charging time.
• State-Of-Charge - A completely discharged battery requires more charging time than a partially
discharged battery. Electrolyte is nearly pure water
in a completely discharged battery. At first, the
charging current (amperage) will be low. As the battery charges, the specific gravity of the electrolyte
will gradually rise.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - IGNITION-OFF
DRAW TEST
The term Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) identifies a normal condition where power is being drained from the
battery with the ignition switch in the Off position. A
normal vehicle electrical system will draw from five
to thirty-five milliamperes (0.015 to 0.025 ampere)
with the ignition switch in the Off position, and all
non-ignition controlled circuits in proper working
order. Up to twenty-five milliamperes are needed to
enable the memory functions for the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), digital clock, electronically tuned
radio, and other modules which may vary with the
vehicle equipment.
A vehicle that has not been operated for approximately twenty-one days, may discharge the battery
to an inadequate level. When a vehicle will not be
used for twenty-one days or more (stored), remove
the IOD fuse from the Integrated Power Module
(IPM). This will reduce battery discharging.
Excessive IOD can be caused by:
• Electrical items left on.
• Faulty or improperly adjusted switches.
• Faulty or shorted electronic modules and components.
• An internally shorted generator.
8Fa - 14
BATTERY SYSTEM
RG
BATTERY (Continued)
• Intermittent shorts in the wiring.
If the IOD is over twenty-five milliamperes, the
problem must be found and corrected before replacing a battery. In most cases, the battery can be
charged and returned to service after the excessive
IOD condition has been corrected.
(1) Verify that all electrical accessories are off.
Turn off all lamps, remove the ignition key, and close
all doors. If the vehicle is equipped with an illuminated entry system or an electronically tuned radio,
allow the electronic timer function of these systems
to automatically shut off (time out). This may take
up to three minutes.
(2) Disconnect the battery negative cable.
(3) Set an electronic digital multi-meter to its
highest amperage scale. Connect the multi-meter
between the disconnected battery negative cable terminal clamp and the battery negative terminal post.
Make sure that the doors remain closed so that the
illuminated entry system is not activated. The multimeter amperage reading may remain high for up to
three minutes, or may not give any reading at all
while set in the highest amperage scale, depending
upon the electrical equipment in the vehicle. The
multi-meter leads must be securely clamped to the
battery negative cable terminal clamp and the battery negative terminal post. If continuity between the
battery negative terminal post and the negative cable
terminal clamp is lost during any part of the IOD
test, the electronic timer function will be activated
and all of the tests will have to be repeated.
(4) After about three minutes, the high-amperage
IOD reading on the multi-meter should become very
low or nonexistent, depending upon the electrical
equipment in the vehicle. If the amperage reading
remains high, remove and replace each fuse or circuit
breaker in the Integrated Power Module (IPM), one
at a time until the amperage reading becomes very
low, or nonexistent. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information in this service manual for complete Integrated Power Module fuse, circuit breaker, and circuit identification. This will isolate each circuit and
identify the circuit that is the source of the high-amperage IOD. If the amperage reading remains high
after removing and replacing each fuse and circuit
breaker, disconnect the wire harness from the generator. If the amperage reading now becomes very low
or nonexistent, refer to Charging System for the
proper charging system diagnosis and testing procedures. After the high-amperage IOD has been corrected, switch the multi-meter to progressively lower
amperage scales and, if necessary, repeat the fuse
and circuit breaker remove-and-replace process to
identify and correct all sources of excessive IOD. It is
now safe to select the lowest milliampere scale of the
multi-meter to check the low-amperage IOD.
CAUTION: Do not open any doors, or turn on any
electrical accessories with the lowest milliampere
scale selected, or the multi-meter may be damaged.
(5) Allow twenty minutes for the IOD to stabilize
and observe the multi-meter reading. The low-amperage IOD should not exceed twenty-five milliamperes
(0.025 ampere). If the current draw exceeds twentyfive milliamperes, isolate each circuit using the fuse
and circuit breaker remove-and-replace process in
Step 4. The multi-meter reading will drop to within
the acceptable limit when the source of the excessive
current draw is disconnected. Repair this circuit as
required; whether a wiring short, incorrect switch
adjustment, or a component failure is at fault.

BATTERY CABLES
DESCRIPTION
The battery cables are large gauge, stranded copper wires sheathed within a heavy plastic or synthetic rubber insulating jacket. The wire used in the
battery cables combines excellent flexibility and reliability with high electrical current carrying capacity.
Refer to Wiring Diagrams in the index of this service manual for the location of the proper battery
cable wire gauge information.
A clamping type female battery terminal made of
stamped metal is attached to one end of the battery
cable wire. A square headed pinch-bolt and hex nut
are installed at the open end of the female battery
terminal clamp. Large eyelet type terminals are
crimped onto the opposite end of the battery cable
wire and then solder-dipped. The battery positive
cable wires have a red insulating jacket to provide
visual identification and feature a larger female battery terminal clamp to allow connection to the larger
battery positive terminal post. The battery negative
cable wires have a black insulating jacket and a
smaller female battery terminal clamp.
The battery cables cannot be repaired and, if damaged or faulty they must be replaced. Both the battery positive and negative cables are available for
service replacement only as a unit with the battery
wire harness, which may include portions of the wiring circuits for the generator and other components
on some models. Refer to Wiring Diagrams in the
index of this service manual for the location of more
information on the various wiring circuits included in
the battery wire harness for the vehicle being serviced.
OPERATION
The battery cables connect the battery terminal
posts to the vehicle electrical system. These cables
also provide a path back to the battery for electrical
current generated by the charging system for restoring the voltage potential of the battery. The female
battery terminal clamps on the ends of the battery
cable wires provide a strong and reliable connection
of the battery cable to the battery terminal posts.
The terminal pinch bolts allow the female terminal
clamps to be tightened around the male terminal
posts on the top of the battery. The eyelet terminals
secured to the opposite ends of the battery cable
wires from the female battery terminal clamps provide secure and reliable connection of the battery
cables to the vehicle electrical system.
The battery positive cable terminal clamp is
attached to the ends of two wires. One wire has an
eyelet terminal that connects the battery positive
cable to the B(+) terminal stud of the Integrated
Power Module (IPM), and the other wire has an eyelet terminal that connects the battery positive cable
to the B(+) terminal stud of the engine starter motor
solenoid. The battery negative cable terminal clamp
is also attached to the ends of two wires. One wire
has an eyelet terminal that connects the battery negative cable to the vehicle powertrain through a stud
on the left side of the engine cylinder block. The
other wire has an eyelet terminal that connects the
battery negative cable to the vehicle body through a
ground screw on the left front fender inner shield,
near the battery.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BATTERY CABLE
A voltage drop test will determine if there is excessive resistance in the battery cable terminal connections or the battery cable. If excessive resistance is
found in the battery cable connections, the connection point should be disassembled, cleaned of all corrosion or foreign material, then reassembled.
Following reassembly, check the voltage drop for the
battery cable connection and the battery cable again
to confirm repair.
When performing the voltage drop test, it is important to remember that the voltage drop is giving an
indication of the resistance between the two points at
which the voltmeter probes are attached. EXAM-

PLE: When testing the resistance of the battery positive cable, touch the voltmeter leads to the battery
positive cable terminal clamp and to the battery positive cable eyelet terminal at the starter solenoid
B(+) terminal stud. If you probe the battery positive
terminal post and the battery positive cable eyelet
terminal at the starter solenoid B(+) terminal stud,
you are reading the combined voltage drop in the
battery positive cable terminal clamp-to-terminal
post connection and the battery positive cable.
VOLTAGE DROP TEST
The following operation will require a voltmeter
accurate to 1/10 (0.10) volt. Before performing this
test, be certain that the following procedures are

and supplied to one of the generator field terminals
(Gen. Source +) at the back of the generator.
The generator is driven by the engine through a
serpentine belt and pulley or decoupler pulley
arrangement.
The amount of DC current produced by the generator is controlled by the EVR (field control) circuitry
contained within the PCM. This circuitry is connected in series with the second rotor field terminal
and ground.
An Inlet air temperature sensor is used to calculate the temperature near the battery. This temperature data, along with data from monitored line
voltage (battery voltage sense circuit), is used by the
PCM to vary the battery charging rate. This is done
by cycling the ground path to control the strength of
the rotor magnetic field. The PCM then compensates
and regulates generator current output accordingly
to maintain system voltage at the targeted system
voltage based on battery temperature.
All vehicles are equipped with On-Board Diagnostics (OBD). All OBD-sensed systems, including EVR
(field control) circuitry, are monitored by the PCM.
Each monitored circuit is assigned a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). The PCM will store a DTC in electronic memory for certain failures it detects and
illuminate the (MIL) lamp. Refer to On-Board Diagnostics in the Electronic Control Modules(Refer to 8 ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
CONTROL
MOD-
RG
CHARGING
8Fa - 21
CHARGING (Continued)
ULES/POWERTRAIN
CONTROL
MODULE
DESCRIPTION) section for more DTC information.
The Check Gauges Lamp (if equipped) or Battery
Lamp monitors: charging system voltage, engine
coolant temperature and engine oil pressure. If an
extreme condition is indicated, the lamp will be illuminated. The signal to activate the lamp is sent via
the PCI bus circuits. The lamp is located on the
instrument panel. Refer to the Instrument Cluster
section for additional information.
The PCM uses the inlet air temperature sensor to
control the charge system voltage. This temperature,
along with data from monitored line voltage, is used
by the PCM to vary the battery charging rate. The
system voltage is higher at cold temperatures and is
gradually reduced as the calculated battery temperature increases.
The ambient temperature sensor is used to control
the battery voltage based upon ambient temperature
(approximation of battery temperature). The PCM
maintains the optimal output of the generator by
monitoring battery voltage and controlling it to a
range of 13.5 - 14.7 volts based on battery temperature.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ON-BOARD
DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors
critical input and output circuits of the charging system, making sure they are operational. A Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) is assigned to each input and
output circuit monitored by the OBD system. Some
circuits are checked continuously and some are
checked only under certain conditions.
If the OBD system senses that a monitored circuit
is bad, it will put a DTC into electronic memory. The
DTC will stay in electronic memory as long as the
circuit continues to be bad. The PCM is programmed
to clear the memory after 50 engine starts if the
problem does not occur again.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
A DTC description can be read using the DRBIIIt
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures manual for information.
A DTC does not identify which component in a circuit is bad. Thus, a DTC should be treated as a
symptom, not as the cause for the problem. In some
cases, because of the design of the diagnostic test
procedure, a DTC can be the reason for another DTC
to be set. Therefore, it is important that the test procedures be followed in sequence, to understand what
caused a DTC to be set.
ERASING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
The DRBIIIt Scan Tool must be used to erase a
DTC.
The following procedures may be used to diagnose
the charging system if:
• the check gauges lamp or battery lamp is illuminated with the engine running
• the voltmeter (if equipped) does not register
properly
• an undercharged or overcharged battery condition occurs.
Remember that an undercharged battery is often
caused by:
• accessories being left on with the engine not
running
• a faulty or improperly adjusted switch that
allows a lamp to stay on. Refer to Ignition-Off Draw
Test (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/BATTERY SYSTEM/
BATTERY - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
INSPECTION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors
critical input and output circuits of the charging system, making sure they are operational. A Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) is assigned to each input and
output circuit monitored by the On-Board Diagnostic
(OBD) system. Some charging system circuits are
checked continuously, and some are checked only
under certain conditions.
Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Codes in; Powertrain
Control Module; Electronic Control Modules for more
DTC information. This will include a complete list of
DTC’s including DTC’s for the charging system.
To perform a complete test of the charging system,
refer to the appropriate Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures service manual and the DRBIIIt scan tool.
Perform the following inspections before attaching
the scan tool.
(1) Inspect the battery condition. Refer to the Battery section (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/BATTERY

The PCM incorporates a Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) on its circuit board.
OPERATION
The PCM uses the temperature of the battery area
to control the charge system voltage. This temperature, along with data from monitored line voltage, is
used by the PCM to vary the battery charging rate.
The system voltage is higher at cold temperatures
and is gradually reduced as temperature around the
battery increases.
The ambient temperature sensor is used to control
the battery voltage based upon ambient temperature
(approximation of battery temperature). The PCM
maintains the optimal output of the generator by
monitoring battery voltage and controlling it to a
range of 13.5 - 14.7 volts based on battery temperature.
The battery temperature sensor is also used for
OBD II diagnostics. Certain faults and OBD II monitors are either enabled or disabled depending upon
the battery temperature sensor input (example: disable purge and EGR, enable LDP). Most OBD II
monitors are disabled below 20°F.
REMOVAL
The battery temperature sensor is not serviced separately. If replacement is necessary, the PCM must
be replaced.
GENERATOR
DESCRIPTION
The generator is belt-driven by the engine. It is
serviced only as a complete assembly. The generator
produces DC voltage at the B+ terminal. If the generator is failed, the generator assembly subcomponents (generator and decoupler pulley) must be
inspected for individual failure and replaced accordingly.
8Fa - 23
OPERATION
As the energized rotor begins to rotate within the
generator, the spinning magnetic field induces a current into the windings of the stator coil. Once the
generator begins producing sufficient current, it also
provides the current needed to energize the rotor.
The Y type stator winding connections deliver the
induced AC current to 3 positive and 3 negative
diodes for rectification. From the diodes, rectified DC
current is delivered to the vehicles electrical system
through the generator, battery, and ground terminals.
Excessive or abnormal noise emitting from the generator may be caused by:
• Worn, loose or defective bearings
• Loose or defective drive pulley (2.4L) or decoupler (3.3/3.8L)
• Incorrect, worn, damaged or misadjusted drive
belt
• Loose mounting bolts
• Misaligned drive pulley
• Defective stator or diode
• Damaged internal fins

VOLTAGE REGULATOR
DESCRIPTION
The Electronic Voltage Regulator (EVR) is not a
separate component. It is actually a voltage regulating circuit located within the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM). The EVR is not serviced separately. If
replacement is necessary, the PCM must be replaced.
OPERATION

System section for proper procedures (Fig. 18).
(6) Install the right front lower splash shield.
(7) Lower vehicle.
(8) Connect battery negative cable.
The amount of DC current produced by the generator is controlled by EVR circuitry contained within
the PCM. This circuitry is connected in series with
the generators second rotor field terminal and its
ground.
Voltage is regulated by cycling the ground path to
control the strength of the rotor magnetic field. The
EVR circuitry monitors system line voltage (B+) and
calculated battery temperature or inlet air temperature sensor (refer to Inlet Air Temperature Sensor, if
equipped, for more information ). It then determines
a target charging voltage. If sensed battery voltage is
lower than the target voltage, the PCM grounds the
field winding until sensed battery voltage is at the
target voltage. A circuit in the PCM cycles the
ground side of the generator field at 250 times per
second (250Hz), but has the capability to ground the
field control wire 100% of the time (full field) to
achieve the target voltage. If the charging rate cannot be monitored (limp-in), a duty cycle of 25% is
used by the PCM in order to have some generator
output. Also refer to Charging System Operation for
additional information.

(1) The relay common feed terminal cavity (30) is
connected to battery voltage and should be hot at all
times. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the open
circuit to the PDC fuse as required.
(2) The relay normally closed terminal (87A) is
connected to terminal 30 in the de-energized position,
but is not used for this application. Go to Step 3.
(3) The relay normally open terminal (87) is connected to the common feed terminal (30) in the energized position. This terminal supplies battery voltage
to the starter solenoid field coils. There should be
continuity between the cavity for relay terminal 87
and the starter solenoid terminal at all times. If OK,
go to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open circuit to the
starter solenoid as required.
(4) The coil battery terminal (86) is connected to
the electromagnet in the relay. It is energized when
the ignition switch is held in the Start position and
the clutch pedal is depressed (manual trans). Check
for battery voltage at the cavity for relay terminal 86
with the ignition switch in the Start position and the
clutch pedal is depressed (manual trans), and no
voltage when the ignition switch is released to the
On position. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, check for
an open or short circuit to the ignition switch and
repair, if required. If the circuit to the ignition switch
is OK, see the Ignition Switch Test procedure in this
group.
(5) The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to
the electromagnet in the relay. It is grounded
through the transmission range sensor only when the
gearshift selector lever is in the Park or Neutral
positions. Check for continuity to ground at the cavity for relay terminal 85. If not OK with an automatic transmission, check for an open or short circuit
to the transmission range sensor and repair. It is
grounded by the PCM if the conditions are right to
start the car. For automatic trans. cars the PCM
must see Park Neutral switch and near zero engine
rpm. For manual trans. cars the PCM only needs to
see near zero engine rpm. To diagnose the Park Neutral switch of the trans range sensor refer to the
transaxle section for more information. Check for
continuity to ground while the ignition switch is in
the start position. If not OK and the vehicle has an
automatic trans. verify Park Neutral switch opera-

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DESCRIPTION - POWER STEERING SYSTEM
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER STEERING
SYSTEM FLOW AND PRESSURE TEST
This vehicle comes with power steering as standard equipment. The power steering system consists
of these major components:
• POWER STEERING PUMP
• POWER STEERING GEAR
• POWER STEERING FLUID
• POWER STEERING FLUID COOLER
• POWER STEERING FLUID RESERVOIR
• POWER STEERING FLUID SUPPLY HOSE
• POWER STEERING FLUID PRESSURE HOSE
• POWER STEERING FLUID RETURN HOSE
For information on the first two components, refer
to their respective sections within this service manual group. Information on all other components can
be found in POWER STEERING PUMP.
ALL ENGINES
The following procedure is to be used to test the
operation of the power steering system on this vehicle. This test will provide the flow rate of the power
steering pump along with the maximum relief pressure. This test is to be performed to determine if the
power steering pump or power steering gear is not
functioning properly. The following flow and pressure
test is performed using the Power Steering Analyzer
Kit, Special Tool 6815 (Fig. 1), hoses, Special Tools
6905 and 6959, and fittings from adapter kit, Special
Tool 6893.
OPERATION - POWER STEERING SYSTEM
Turning of the steering wheel is converted into linear (side-to-side) travel through the meshing of the
helical pinion teeth with the rack teeth within the
steering gear. The lateral travel pushes and pulls the
tie rods to change the direction of the vehicle’s front
wheels.
Power assist steering is provided by a belt driven
rotary type pump. It directs fluid through power
steering fluid hoses to the power steering gear where
it is used to assist the driver’s turning effort.
Manual steering control of the vehicle can be maintained if power steering assist is lost. However,
under this condition, steering effort is significantly
increased.

The following procedure is to be used to test the
operation of the power steering system on the vehicle.
(1) Check belt tension and adjust as necessary.
(2) Disconnect the power steering fluid pressure
hose from the power steering pump (Fig. 3) (Fig. 4).
(3) Connect Adapter Fitting, Special Tool 6844,
attached to pressure hose from inlet (gauge end) of
Power Steering Analyzer to the pressure fitting on
the power steering pump.
(4) Connect vehicle power steering fluid pressure
hose to Adapter Fitting, Special Tool 6826, which

(6) Start engine and let idle just long enough to
circulate power steering fluid through the analyzer
and hoses. Shut off engine.
(7) Check power steering fluid level and add fluid
as necessary. Start engine again and let idle until the
air is out of the fluid.
(8) Gauge should read below 300 psi (2068 kPa). If
above, inspect the hoses for restrictions and repair as
necessary. The initial pressure should be in the range
of 100-275 psi (689-1896 kPa) depending on fluid
temperature. The flow meter should read above 1.5
GPM.
CAUTION: The following test procedure involves
testing maximum pump pressure output and flow
control valve operation. Do not leave valve closed
for more than four seconds as the pump could be
damaged.
NOTE: Power steering pump maximum pressure for
2.4L engines is 1,200 – 1,350 psi (8,274 – 9,308
kPa). Power steering pump maximum pressure for
all other engines is 1,400 – 1,500 psi (9,653 – 10,342
kPa).
(9) Close analyzer valve fully three times and
record highest pressure indicated each time. All three
readings must be within specifications. If any of the
three power steering pump pressures are above or
below specifications, replace pump. (Refer to 19 STEERING/PUMP - REMOVAL)
CAUTION: Do not force the steering to operate
against the stops for more than 4 seconds at a time
because pump damage can result.
(10) Once the pump has been verified as working
correctly, completely open the valve on the Power
Steering Analyzer. Turn the steering wheel to the
extreme left until the stop in the steering gear is
met. Hold it there for 2–4 seconds, then release it.
Now turn the steering wheel to the right until the
right stop is met. Hold it there for 2–4 seconds, then
release it. Record the stabilized pressure at each
position. Compare the recorded readings to the specifications. If the output pressures are not within 100
psi (689 kPa) of one another against either stop or
are below specifications, the steering gear is leaking
internally and must be replaced. (Refer to 19 STEERING/GEAR - REMOVAL)

NOTE: * There is some noise in all power steering
systems. One of the most common is a hissing
sound evident when turning the steering wheel
when at a standstill or when parking and the steering wheel is at the end of its travel. Hiss is a very
high frequency noise similar to that experienced
while slowly closing a water tap. The noise is
present in every valve and results when high velocity fluid passes valve orifice edges. There is no
relationship between this noise and the performance of the steering system.
This results from internal steering gear rack movement at the bushings and in no way affects the performance of the steering system. This movement
may be felt in the steering components during
steering wheel reversal.
NOTE: *** Power steering pump growl/moan/groan
results from the development of high pressure fluid
flow. Normally this noise level should not be high
enough to be objectionable.
NOTE: ** A light clunk may be felt or heard during
steering wheel reversal while vehicle is stationary.

GEAR
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a rack and pinion
power steering gear (Fig. 1). It is mounted to the
underside of the front suspension cradle/crossmember.
The steering column is attached to the gear
through the use of an intermediate shaft and couplers. The outer ends of the power steering gear’s
outer tie rods connect to the steering knuckles.
NOTE: The power steering gear should NOT be serviced or adjusted unless DaimlerChrysler Corporation authorizes. If a malfunction or oil leak occurs,
the complete steering gear should be replaced.
Only the outer tie rods may be replaced separately
from the rest of the gear.
OPERATION
Turning of the steering wheel is converted into linear (side-to-side) travel through the meshing of the
helical pinion teeth with the rack teeth in the steering gear. This travel pushes and pulls the tie rods to
change the direction of the vehicle’s front wheels.
Power assist steering provided by the power steering pump is controlled by an open center, rotary type
control valve which directs oil from the pump to
either side of the integral rack piston upon demand.
Road feel is controlled by the diameter of a torsion
bar which initially steers the vehicle. As required
steering effort increases, as in a turn, the torsion bar
twists, causing relative rotary motion between the
rotary valve body and the valve spool. This movement directs oil behind the integral rack piston
which, in turn, builds hydraulic pressure and assists
in the turning effort.

PUMP
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - PUMP (2.4L/3.3L/3.8L
ENGINE)
Hydraulic pressure for the operation of the power
steering gear is provided by a belt driven power
steering pump. The power steering pump is mounted
on the back side of the engine on all engine applications. The pumps are different depending on the
engine option. The pump for the 2.4L engine is made
out of cast iron and steel (Fig. 1). The pump used on
the 3.3L/3.8L engine is made of aluminum (Fig. 2).
The pump for the 3.3L/3.8L engine does not have a
return fitting as the pump for the 2.4L engine does.
The power steering return hose on the 3.3L/3.8L
engine goes to the reservoir instead of the pump.
PUMP
RS

PUMP (Continued)
OPERATION
The power steering pump is a constant displacement vane type pump. The 2.4L pump has an integral fluid reservoir and there is a secondary remote
non-flow reservoir which acts only as a fluid fill and
check point. The 3.3L/3.8L pump houses very little
fluid and is therefore supplied by a remote flow
through reservoir.

FLUID LEVEL CHECKING
WARNING: FLUID LEVEL SHOULD BE CHECKED
WITH THE ENGINE OFF TO PREVENT INJURY
FROM MOVING PARTS AND TO ENSURE ACCURATE FLUID LEVEL READING.
The fluid level can be read on the exterior of the
power steering fluid reservoir. The fluid level should
be within the “FILL RANGE” when the fluid is at
normal ambient temperature, approximately 21°C to
27°C (70°F to 80°F) (Fig. 17).
Before removing the power steering filler cap, wipe
the reservoir filler cap free of dirt and debris. Do not
overfill the power steering system. Use only
Mopart ATF+4 Automatic Transmission Fluid
(MS-9602) in the power steering system. For
additional information on Automatic Transmission
Fluid, (Refer to LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE/
FLUID TYPES - DESCRIPTION).
CAUTION: Use only MoparT ATF+4 Automatic Transmission Fluid (MS-9602). Use of other MoparT
power steering fluids (MS5931 and MS9933) should
be avoided to ensure peak performance of the

FLUID COOLER
DESCRIPTION
All models (except 2.5L Diesel) are equipped with a
cooler for the power steering system fluid. The power
steering fluid cooler is located on the front suspension cradle crossmember reinforcement (Fig. 18).
There are two different size coolers depending on
model and options. There is a standard 6-inch and an
8-inch.
OPERATION
The purpose of the power steering fluid cooler is to
keep the temperature of the power steering system
fluid from rising to a level that would affect the performance of the power steering system.
The cooler used on this vehicle is referred to as a
fluid-to-air type cooler. This means that the air flow
across the tubes (and fines surrounding them) of the
cooler is used to extract the heat from the cooler
which it has absorbed from the power steering fluid
flowing through it. The cooler is placed in the power
steering fluid return line, between the steering gear
and the power steering fluid reservoir.
REMOVAL
(1) Using a siphon pump, remove as much fluid as
possible from the power steering fluid reservoir.
(2) Raise vehicle. (Refer to LUBRICATION &
MAINTENANCE/HOISTING - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
(3) Remove the hose clamps at the cooler and
remove the hoses from the cooler inlet and outlet
tubes.
(4) Remove the 2 bolts attaching the power steering cooler cradle crossmember reinforcement (Fig.
18). Remove the cooler.

(1) Install the power steering fluid cooler on the
cradle crossmember reinforcement (Fig. 18). Install
the mounting bolts and tighten to 11 N·m (100 in.
lbs.).
(2) Install power steering fluid hoses on the cooler.
Be sure hose clamps are installed on hose past
the upset bead on the power steering cooler
tubes.

DESCRIPTION
CLUTCH COMPONENTS
Models equipped with a 2.4L Gas engine utilize a
modular clutch assembly (Fig. 1). The modular clutch
consists of a single, dry-type clutch disc, a diaphragm
style clutch cover, and an integrated flywheel. The
clutch cover (pressure plate) is riveted to the flywheel, and therefore can only be serviced as an
assembly.
Models equipped with the 2.5L Turbo Diesel engine
utilize a conventional clutch system (Fig. 2). This
system consists of a flywheel, clutch disc, and clutch
cover (pressure plate), which is fastened to the flywheel, capturing the clutch disc within. Each component is individually serviceable, however it is highly
recommended that the clutch cover and disc be
replaced as a set.

RELEASE SYSTEM
All models utilize a hydraulic clutch release system, conisting of a clutch master cylinder attached to
the clutch pedal (Fig. 3), and a slave cylinder fastened to the transaxle which operates the clutch
release lever (Fig. 4). When the driver depresses the
clutch pedal, the master cylinder pushrod travels
through the cylinder bore, displacing fluid through
the master cylinder plumbing. This fluid displacement forces the slave cylinder piston to travel, forcing the clutch release bearing into the clutch
diaphragm spring via the release lever and leverage
(Fig. 5). This releases the clamping force on the
clutch disc, allowing the engine crankshaft to rotate
independently from the transaxle input shaft.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CLUTCH SYSTEM
Clutch problem diagnosis will generally require a
road test to determine the type of fault. Component
inspection will then determine the problem after road
testing.
Drive the vehicle at normal speeds during road
test. Shift the transaxle through all gear ranges and
observe clutch action. If chatter, grab, slip, or
improper release is experienced, remove and inspect
the clutch components. If the problem is noise or
hard shifting, further diagnosis may be needed. The
transaxle or other driveline components may actually
be at fault.
SERVICE DIAGNOSIS - CLUTCH GRAB/CHATTER

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - DRIVE PLATE
MISALIGNMENT
Common causes of misalignment are:
• Heat warping
• Mounting drive plate on a dirty crankshaft
flange
• Incorrect bolt tightening
• Improper seating on the crankshaft shoulder
• Loose crankshaft bolts
Clean the crankshaft flange before mounting the
drive plate. Dirt and grease on the flange surface
may misalign the flywheel, causing excessive runout.
Use new bolts when mounting drive plate to crankshaft. Tighten drive plate bolts to specified torque
only. Over-tightening can distort the drive plate hub
causing excessive runout.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CLUTCH COVER
AND DISC RUNOUT
Check condition of the clutch cover before installation. A warped cover or diaphragm spring will cause
grab and/or incomplete release or engagement. Use
care when handling the clutch assembly. Impact can
distort the cover, diaphragm spring, and release fingers.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CLUTCH CHATTER
COMPLAINTS
For all clutch chatter complaints, perform the following:
(1) Check for loose, misaligned, or broken engine
and transmission mounts. If present, they should be
corrected at this time. Test vehicle for chatter. If
chatter is gone, there is no need to go any further.
(2) If chatter persists, check hydraulic clutch
release system is functioning properly.
(3) Check for loose connections in drivetrain. Correct any problems and determine if clutch chatter
complaints have been satisfied. If not:
(a) Remove transaxle.
(b) Check to see if the release bearing is sticky
or binding. Replace bearing, if needed.
(c) Check linkage for excessive wear on the pivot
stud and fork fingers. Replace all worn parts.
(d) Check clutch assembly for contamination
(dirt, oil). Replace clutch assembly, if required.
(e) Check to see if the clutch disc hub splines
are damaged. Replace with new clutch assembly, if
necessary.
(f) Check input shaft splines for damage.
Replace, if necessary.
(g) Check for uneven wear on clutch fingers.
(h) Check for broken clutch cover diaphragm
spring fingers. Replace with new clutch assembly,

OPERATION
DESCRIPTION
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM
The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) is
designed to protect against whole vehicle theft. The
system monitors vehicle doors, hood, liftgate, and
ignition action for unauthorized operation. The alarm
activates:
• Sounding of the horn
• Flashing of the park and tail lamps
• Flashing of the headlamps
• An engine kill feature (without SKIS)
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) is
available as a factory-installed option on this vehicle.
It is designed to provide passive protection against
unauthorized vehicle use by disabling the engine,
after two (2) seconds of running, whenever an invalid
key is used to start the vehicle. The SKIS is active
whenever the ignition is on and does not require any
customer intervention. The primary components of
the system are the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module
(SKIM), Sentry Key (ignition key w/ a transponder
molded into the head), indicator light, Body Control
Module (BCM), and the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The SKIM is mounted to the steering column
with the molded, integral antenna mounted on the
ignition housing. The indicator light, is located in the
message center.
Upon failure of proper SKIM communication to the
PCM, the PCM will shut off fuel after two seconds of
run time. The engine will not re-crank on the key
cycle that the failure occurred, a full key down
sequence must be performed for the engine to crank
again. After six consecutive fuel shut-offs, the engine
will no longer crank on subsequent key cycles. The
failure must be corrected and a valid communication
process between the SKIM and the PCM must occur
for the engine to crank and start again.
The electronics for the VTSS are part of the Body
Control Module (BCM). The system is armed when
the vehicle is locked using the:
• Power door lock switches (with any door ajar)
• Remote Keyless Entry transmitter.
• Door Cylinder Lock Switches.
For vehicles equipped with SKIS, the doors do not
have to be locked to enable the fuel shut off feature.
After the vehicle is locked and the last door is
closed, the set LED indicator in the top cover will
flash quickly for 16 seconds, indicating that arming
is in progress. If no monitored systems are activated
during this period, the system will arm. The LED
will extinguish unless the liftgate is open. If the liftgate is open, the LED will flash at a slower rate.
This indicates that the system is armed. If fault is
detected on any key cylinder input, the indicator
LED will remain solid during the arming process,
although the system will still arm. If the indicator
LED does not illuminate at all upon door closing it
indicates that the system is not arming.

VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY (Continued)
Passive disarming occurs upon normal vehicle
entry by unlocking either door with the ignition key/
remote transmitter. This disarming will also halt the
alarm once it has been activated.
A tamper alert exists to notify the driver that the
VTSS had been activated. This alert consists of 3
horn pulses when the vehicle is disarmed.
NOTE: The VTSS will not arm by pushing down the
door lock mechanism. This will manually override
the system.
For Door Cylinder Lock Switch Removal and
Installation, refer to Electrical, Power Locks, Door
Cylinder Lock Switch.
If the VTSS is triggered, the horn will pulse, headlamps/marker lamps will flash, and the VTSS warning lamp will flash. If BCM determines the threat to
be false and the VTSS is not triggered again, the system will shut down and rearm itself after three minutes. If a trigger is still active, the alarm will
continue for an additional 15 minutes without the
horn. The VTSS monitoring portion of the system is
split into two sections. The engine compartment section and the passenger compartment section. If a
malfunction occurs in the engine compartment section, the passenger compartment section would still
arm and function normally.
NOTE: If hood is not secure during the arming
sequence, the lamp will stay lit and not flash. The
system will arm with hood not secured (hood ajar
switch closed) and the liftgate open (liftgate ajar
switch closed). System will not arm if passenger
compartment is not secure (all switches closed)
ARMING THE VTSS - METHOD A
(1) With the key removed from the ignition lock
and any door open (excluding liftgate), actuate one of
the following:
• Power door lock button to LOCK,
• Key fob LOCK button
• Door lock key cylinder to locked position.
(2) Close all opened doors. Liftgate can remain
open.
(3) After the last door is closed, an arming timeout period of sixteen seconds will start, then the
VTSS will become armed.
ARMING THE VTSS - METHOD B
Actuating the key fob transmitter LOCK button,
key locking the front doors with the doors closed and
the ignition locked will begin the arming time-out
period. If method A, 16 second time-out sequence was
in process when method B was actuated, the 16 sec-
ond time-out will restart from the time of the second
actuation.
If the security lamp does not illuminate at all upon
final door closure, it indicates that the system is not
arming.
The current VTSS status armed or disarmed shall
be maintained in memory to prevent battery disconnects from disarming the system.
TRIGGERING THE VTSS
After the VTSS is armed, the following actions will
trigger the alarm:
• Opening any door (excluding liftgate).
• Opening the hood
• Turning the ignition to the ACC, or UNLOCK
position.
NOTE: When the VTSS is ARMED, the interior
power door lock switch “UNLOCK” will be disabled
until the vehicle is disarmed.
CAUTION: The VTSS indicator LED will trigger and
engine will continue to run if the vehicle is
equipped with SKIS and the proper key is used to
start the vehicle. This condition will occur if the
VTSS has been triggered. If valid key is used, VTSS
will disarm
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
The SKIS includes keys from the factory which are
pre-programmed. Each SKIM will recognize a maximum of eight Sentry Keys. If the customer would
like to own additional keys other than those provided
with the vehicle, they can be purchased from any
authorized dealer. These keys must be programmed
to the SKIM on the vehicle in order for the system to
recognize them as valid keys. This can be done by
the dealer with a DRB IIIt scan tool or by a customer if this feature is available in their market and
they have two (2) valid keys already available to
them. Refer to the Service Procedures portion of this
system for additional details. The SKIS performs a
self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position and will store Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTC’s) if a system malfunction is detected.
The SKIS can be diagnosed and any stored DTC’s
can be retrieved using a DRB IIIt scan tool as
described in the appropriate Body Diagnostic Procedures manual.

TRANSPONDER KEY
DESCRIPTION
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) uses a
transponder chip that is integral to each ignition key
(Fig. 1) to communicate with the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM). Ignition keys are supplied
with the vehicle when it is shipped from the factory.
The transponder chip is undermolded within the
head of the key. This undermold is hidden beneath
an overmolded rubber cap.
OPERATION
Each Sentry Key has a unique transponder identification code permanently programmed into it by the
manufacturer. Likewise, the SKIM has a unique
9Secret Key9 code programmed into it by the manufacturer as well. When a Sentry Key is programmed
into the memory of the SKIM, the SKIM stores the
transponder identification code from the Sentry Key,
and the Sentry Key learns the 9Secret Key9 code from
the SKIM. Once the Sentry Key learns the 9Secret
Key9 code of the SKIM, it is also permanently programmed into the transponder’s memory. Therefore,
blank keys for the SKIS must be programmed by the

SKIM in addition to being cut to match the mechanical coding of the ignition lock cylinder. Refer to Electrical, Vehicle Theft Security, Transponder Key,
Standard Procedure - Transponder Programming.
The Sentry Key’s transponder is within the range
of the SKIM’s transceiver antenna ring when it is
inserted into the ignition lock cylinder. When the
ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the
SKIM communicates with the Sentry Key via a radio
frequency (RF) signal. The SKIM determines if a
valid key is present based on the information it
receives from the Sentry Key. If a valid key is
detected, that fact is communicated to the PCM via
the PCI bus and the vehicle is allowed to continue
running. If an invalid key is received by the PCM or
no status at all is communicated, the vehicle will
stall after two (2) seconds of running. The indicator
light will be flashing at this point. The Sentry Key’s
transponder can not be repaired. If it is faulty or
damaged, it must be replaced.
Common communication problems:
• Two transponder keys too close together.
• Speed Pass too close to transponder key.
Solid indicator that there is a system failure.
• Loss of PCM communication.
• Failed antenna circuit.
All Sentry Keys included with the vehicle are preprogrammed to work with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) when it is shipped from the
factory. The Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM)
can be programmed to recognize up to a total of eight
Sentry Keys. When programming a blank Sentry Key
transponder, the key must first be cut to match the
ignition lock cylinder of the vehicle for which it will
be used. The vehicle’s four digit PIN code will be
required to complete this task since you will need it
to enter the Secured Access Mode in the SKIM. The
following steps must be completed using a DRB IIIt
scan tool:
(1) Insert the blank key into the ignition and turn
it to the RUN position.
(2) Using a DRB IIIt scan tool, select 9Theft
Alarm,9 9SKIM,9 9Miscellaneous,9 and then 9Program
New Key.9
(3) Enter the four digit PIN code using the DRB
IIIt scan tool. When programming is completed, the
SKIM will exit Secured Access Mode and the DRB
IIIt scan tool will display the results of your attempt
to program the key. One of five distinct results may
be displayed. All five are listed below:
• (Programming Successful( is displayed if the
Sentry Key programming is successful.
• (Learned Key in Ignition( is displayed if the
key in the ignition has already been programmed
into that vehicle’s SKIM.
• (Eight Keys Already Learned (At The Maximum) Programming Not Done( is displayed if
eight keys have already been programmed into the
SKIM. In this case, if a new key needs to be added
due to a lost or defective key, the 9Erase All Keys9
command (which requires entering the Secured
Access Mode) has to be performed. Following the
9Erase All Keys9 command, all keys that will be used
to operate the vehicle MUST be reprogrammed to
the SKIM.
• (Programming Not Attempted( is displayed
after an 9Erase All Keys9 function is executed.
• (Programming Key Failed( is displayed if further diagnosis is required.
To learn additional keys, turn the ignition OFF,
remove the learned key, insert the next new blank
key, and repeat the steps from the beginning.
“CUSTOMER LEARN” MODE
This feature is only available on domestic vehicles
or those which have a U.S. country code designator.
This procedure requires access to at least two valid

a DRB IIIt scan tool.
The steps required to program Sentry Keys with
two valid Sentry Keys follows:
(1) Obtain the blank Sentry Key(s) that need to be
programmed. Cut the keys to match the ignition lock
cylinder mechanical key codes.
(2) Insert one of the two valid Sentry Keys into the
ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the
ON position.
(3) After the ignition switch has been in the ON
position for longer than three seconds, but no more
than fifteen seconds, cycle the ignition switch back to
the OFF position. Replace the first valid Sentry Key
in the ignition lock cylinder with the second valid
Sentry Key and turn the ignition switch back to the
ON position. The second valid Sentry Key must be
inserted within 15 seconds of removing the first valid
Sentry key.
(4) About ten seconds after the completion of Step
3, the indicator light will start to flash and a single
audible chime tone will sound to indicate that the
system has entered the 9Customer Learn9 programming mode.
(5) Within sixty seconds of entering the 9Customer
Learn9 programming mode, turn the ignition switch
to the OFF position, replace the valid Sentry Key
with a blank Sentry Key transponder, and turn the
ignition switch back to the ON position.
(6) About ten seconds after the completion of Step
5, a single audible chime tone will sound and the
indicator light will stop flashing and stay on solid for
three seconds and then turn off to indicate that the
blank Sentry Key has been successfully programmed.
The SKIS will immediately exit the 9Customer
Learn9 programming mode and the vehicle may be
started using the newly programmed Sentry Key.
These steps must be completed in their entirety for
each additional Sentry Key to be programmed. If any
of the above steps are not completed in the given
sequence, or within the allotted time, the SKIS will
exit the 9Customer Learn9 programming mode and
the programming will be unsuccessful. The SKIS will
also automatically exit the 9Customer Learn9 programming mode if:
• It sees a non-blank Sentry Key when it should
see a blank.
• If it has already programmed eight (8) valid
Sentry Keys.
• If the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position for more than about fifty (50) seconds.
NOTE: If you attempt to start the vehicle while in
“Customer Learn” mode (LED flashing), the vehicle
will behave as though an invalid key is being used
(i.e. the engine will stall after two (2) seconds of
running). No faults will be logged.
NOTE: Once a Sentry Key has been programmed to
a particular vehicle, it cannot be used on any other
vehicle.
VTSS/SKIS INDICATOR LAMP
DESCRIPTION
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) uses
an indicator light to convey information on the status
of the system to the customer. This light is shared
with the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS). The
light is located in the Message Center. The indicator
light is controlled by the Body Control Module (BCM)
based upon messages it receives from the Sentry Key
Immobilizer Module (SKIM) on the PCI bus.
OPERATION
The BCM performs a four second bulb check,
regardless of SKIM messages. After the bulb check,
the lamp is controlled according to SKIM messages.
Then, the SKIM sends messages to the BCM to operate the light based upon the results of the SKIS self
tests. The light may be actuated in two possible
ways, flashing or on solid. If the light comes on and
stays on solid after a power-up test, this indicates
that the SKIM has detected a system malfunction. If
the SKIM detects an invalid key when the ignition
switch is moved to the ON position, it sends a message on the PCI bus to the BCM, to flash the light.
The SKIM can also send a message to flash the light
and generate a single audible chime at the same
time. These two events occurring simultaneously
indicate that the SKIS has been placed into the 9Customer Learn9 mode. Refer to Electrical, Vehicle Theft
Security, Transponder Key, Standard Procedure Transponder Programming for more information on
the 9Customer Learn9 mode. If the light comes on
and stays on after the power-up test, diagnosis of the
SKIS should be performed using a DRB IIIt scan tool
and the appropriate Body Diagnostic Procedures
manual. The light is not a serviceable component.

COOLING
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - COOLING SYSTEM
The cooling system components consist of a radiator, electric fan motors, shroud, pressure cap, thermostat, transmission oil cooler, water pump, hoses,
clamps, coolant, and a coolant reserve system to complete the circuit.
DESCRIPTION - HOSE CLAMPS
The cooling system uses spring type hose clamps.
If a spring type clamp replacement is necessary,
replace with the original Mopart equipment spring
type clamp.
CAUTION: A number or letter is stamped into the
tongue of constant tension clamps. If replacement
is necessary, use only a original equipment clamp
with matching number or letter (Fig. 1).

OPERATION - COOLING SYSTEM
The engine cooling systems primary purpose is to
maintain engine temperature in a range that will
provide satisfactory engine performance and emission
levels under all expected driving conditions. It also
provides hot water (coolant) for heater performance
and cooling for automatic transmission oil. It does
this by transferring heat from engine metal to coolant, moving this heated coolant to the radiator, and
then transferring this heat to the ambient air.
• When engine is cold: thermostat is closed, cooling system has no flow through the radiator. The
coolant bypass flows through the engine only.
• When engine is warm: thermostat is open, cooling system has bypass flow and coolant flow through
radiator.
Coolant flow circuits for the 2.4L and 3.3/3.8L
engines are shown in (Fig. 2).
The spring type hose clamp applies constant tension on a hose connection. To remove a spring type
hose clamp, use Special Tool 6094 or equivalent, constant tension clamp pliers (Fig. 3) to compress the
hose clamp.

If there are no external leaks, after the gauge dial
shows a drop in pressure, detach the tester. Start
engine and run until the thermostat opens, allowing
the coolant to expand. Reattach the cooling system
tester. If the needle on the dial fluctuates it indicates
a combustion leak, usually a head gasket leak.
WARNING: WITH TOOL IN PLACE, PRESSURE WILL
BUILD UP FAST. EXCESSIVE PRESSURE BUILT UP,
BY CONTINUOUS ENGINE OPERATION, MUST BE
RELEASED TO A SAFE PRESSURE POINT. NEVER
PERMIT PRESSURE TO EXCEED 138 kPa (20 psi).
Fig. 3 Hose Clamp Tool
1 - HOSE CLAMP TOOL 6094
2 - HOSE CLAMP
With engine not running, remove radiator pressure
cap and wipe the radiator filler neck sealing seat
clean. The radiator should be full.
Attach the Cooling System Tester 7700 or equivalent to the radiator, as shown in (Fig. 4) and apply
104 kPa (15 psi) pressure. If the pressure drops more
than 13.8 kPa (2 psi) in 2 minutes, inspect all points
for external leaks.
All radiator and heater hoses should be shaken
while at 104 kPa (15 psi), since some leaks occur only
while driving due to engine movement.
If the needle on the dial does not fluctuate, raise
the engine rpm a few times. If an abnormal amount
of coolant or steam emits from the tailpipe, it may
indicate a coolant leak caused by a faulty head gasket, cracked engine block, or cracked cylinder head.
There may be internal leaks that can be determined by removing the oil dipstick. If water globules
appear intermixed with the oil it will indicate an
internal leak in the engine. If there is an internal
leak, the engine must be disassembled for repair.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - COOLING SYSTEM
FLOW CHECK
To determine whether coolant is flowing through
the cooling system, use one of the following procedures:
PREFERRED METHOD
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE COOLING SYSTEM PRESSURE CAP OR ANY HOSE WITH THE
SYSTEM HOT AND UNDER PRESSURE BECAUSE
SERIOUS BURNS FROM COOLANT CAN OCCUR.
• Remove pressure cap when engine is cold.
Remove small amount of coolant. Idle engine until
thermostat opens. You should observe coolant flow
while looking down the filler neck. Once flow is
detected install the pressure cap. Replace removed
coolant into coolant recovery container.
ALTERNATIVE METHOD
• If engine is cold, idle engine until normal operating temperature is reached. Feel the upper radiator
hose. If it is hot, coolant is circulating.
Fig. 4 Pressure Testing

COOLING
RS
COOLING (Continued)
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - COOLING SYSTEM
AERATION
Low coolant level in a cross flow radiator will
equalize in both tanks with engine off. With engine
at running and at operating temperature, the high
pressure inlet tank runs full and the low pressure
outlet tank drops, resulting in cooling system aeration. Aeration will draw air into the water pump
resulting in the following:
• High reading shown on the temperature gauge.
• Loss of coolant flow through the heater core.
• Corrosion in the cooling system.
• Water pump seal may run dry, increasing the
risk of premature seal failure.
• Combustion gas leaks into the coolant can also
cause the above problems.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - COOLING SYSTEM
DEAERATION
Air can only be removed from the system by gathering under the pressure cap. On the next heat up it
will be pushed past the pressure cap into the coolant
recovery bottle by thermal expansion of the coolant.
It then escapes to the atmosphere in the coolant
recovery bottle and is replaced with coolant on cool
down.
To effectively deaerate the system, multiple thermal cycles of the system may be required.
NOTE: Deaeration does not occur at engine idle—
higher engine speeds are required. Normal driving
will deaerate cooling system.
STANDARD PROCEDURE

DRAINING
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE OR LOOSEN THE
COOLANT PRESSURE CAP, CYLINDER BLOCK
DRAIN PLUGS, OR THE DRAINCOCK WHEN THE
SYSTEM IS HOT AND UNDER PRESSURE
BECAUSE SERIOUS BURNS FROM THE COOLANT
CAN OCCUR.
(1) Without removing radiator pressure cap
and with system not under pressure, open the
draincock. The draincock is located on the lower left
side of radiator (Fig. 5).
(2) After the coolant recovery/reserve container is
empty, then remove coolant pressure cap (Fig. 6).
(3) Remove the cylinder block drain plug(s).
Fig. 5 Draincock Location
1 - LEFT SIDE FRAME RAIL
2 - DRAINCOCK
STANDARD PROCEDURE - COOLING SYSTEM
FILLING
Remove radiator pressure cap (Fig. 6) and fill system, using a 50/50 mix of Mopart Antifreeze/Coolant,
5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula and distilled water.
Continue filling system until full. Be careful not
to spill coolant on drive belts or the generator.
Fill coolant recovery/reserve container (Fig. 6) to at
least the MAX mark with 50/50 solution. It may be
necessary to add coolant to the recovery/reserve container after three or four warm up/cool down cycles
to maintain coolant level between the MAX and MIN
mark. This will allow trapped air to be removed from
the system.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ADDING
ADDITIONAL COOLANT
The radiator cap should not be removed.
When additional coolant is needed to maintain this
level, it should be added to the coolant recovery/reserve container (Fig. 6). Use only 50/50 mix of ethylene glycol type antifreeze and distilled water. For the
recommeded antifreeze/coolant type (Refer to LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE/FLUID TYPES DESCRIPTION).
CAUTION: Do not use well water, or suspect water
supply in cooling system. A 50/50 ethylene glycol
and distilled water mix is recommended. For the
recommeded antifreeze/coolant type (Refer to
LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE/FLUID TYPES DESCRIPTION).

VISUAL INSPECTION
ENGINE
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ENGINE COOLING
SYSTEM
Establish what driving condition caused the cooling
system complaint. The problem may be caused by an
abnormal load on the system such as the following:
prolonged idle, very high ambient temperature, slight
tail wind at idle, slow traffic speed, traffic jam, high
speed, steep grade.
DRIVING TECHNIQUES
To avoid overheating the cooling system:
(1) Idle with A/C off when temperature gauge is at
end of normal range.
(2) Do not increase engine speed for more air flow
and coolant flow because the electric motor fan systems are not responsive to engine RPM. The added
cooling from higher coolant flow rate is more than
offset by increased heat rejection (engine heat added
to coolant).
TRAILER TOWING
If the cooling system problem is not caused by a
driving condition, perform a visual inspection to
determine if there was a recent service or accident
repair, including the following:
• Loose/damaged water pump drive belt
• Incorrect cooling system refilling (trapped air or
low level)
• Brakes possibly dragging
• Damaged hoses
• Loose/damaged hose clamps
• Damaged/incorrect engine thermostat
• Damaged cooling fan motor, fan blade and fan
shroud
• Damaged head gasket
• Damaged water pump
• Damaged radiator
• Damaged coolant recovery system
• Damaged heater core
• Open/shorted electrical circuits
If the visual inspection reveals none of the above
as cause for a cooling system complaint, refer to the
following diagnostic charts.
Consult the owner’s manual under Trailer Towing
and do not exceed specified limits.

CLEANING
Drain cooling system and refill with clean water.
Refer to drain and fill procedures in this section. Run
engine with radiator cap installed until upper radiator hose is hot. Stop engine and drain water from
system. If water is dirty; fill, run, and drain system
again, until water runs clear. Refill cooling system
with a 50/50 mixture of the recommended ethylene
glycol and distilled water (Refer to LUBRICATION &
MAINTENANCE/FLUID TYPES - DESCRIPTION).
INSPECTION
After performing a cleaning/flush procedure,
inspect all hoses, clamps and connections for deterioration and leaks. Inspect radiator and heater core for
leaks.
COOLANT
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - COOLANT
CONCENTRATION TESTING
Coolant concentration should be checked when any
additional coolant was added to system or after a
coolant drain, flush and refill. The coolant mixture
offers optimum engine cooling and protection against
corrosion when mixed to a freeze point of -37°C
(-34°F) to -46°C (-50°F). The use of a hydrometer or a
refractometer can be used to test coolant concentration.
A hydrometer will test the amount of glycol in a
mixture by measuring the specific gravity of the mixture. The higher the concentration of ethylene glycol,
the larger the number of balls that will float, and
7 - 20
ENGINE
RS
COOLANT (Continued)
higher the freeze protection (up to a maximum of
60% by volume glycol).
A refractometer (Special Tool 8286)(Refer to 7 COOLING - SPECIAL TOOLS) will test the amount
of glycol in a coolant mixture by measuring the
amount a beam of light bends as it passes through
the fluid.
Some coolant manufactures use other types of glycols into their coolant formulations. Propylene glycol
is the most common new coolant. However, propylene
glycol based coolants do not provide the same freezing protection and corrosion protection and is not recommended.
CAUTION: Do not mix types of coolant—corrosion
protection will be severely reduced.
and the coolant level in the container is at or above
the MIN mark, there is an air leak in the coolant

STANDARD PROCEDURE - COOLANT SERVICE
For engine coolant recommended service schedule,
(Refer to LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE/MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES - DESCRIPTION).
COOLANT RECOVERY
CONTAINER
DESCRIPTION
The coolant recovery/reserve system cotainer is
mounted in the engine compartment (Fig. 2). The
container is made of plastic.
OPERATION
The coolant recovery system works with the radiator pressure cap to use thermal expansion and contraction of the coolant to keep the coolant free of
trapped air. Provides a convenient and safe method
for checking coolant level and adjusting level at
atmospheric pressure without removing the radiator
pressure cap. It also provides some reserve coolant to
cover deaeration, evaporation, or boiling losses.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - COOLANT
RECOVERY SYSTEM
The cooling system is closed and designed to maintain coolant level to the top of the radiator.
(1) With the engine off and cooling system not
under pressure, drain several ounces of coolant from
the radiator draincock while observing the coolant
recovery container. Coolant level in the container
should drop.
(2) Remove the radiator pressure cap. The coolant
level should be full to the top radiator neck. If not,

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER
DESCRIPTION
The engine block heater is available as an optional
accessory on all models. The heater is operated by
ordinary house current (110 Volt A.C.) through a
power cord located behind the radiator grille. This
provides easier engine starting and faster warm-up
when vehicle is operated in areas having extremely
low temperatures. The heater is mounted in a core
hole (in place of a core hole plug) in the engine block,
with the heating element immersed in coolant.
OPERATION
The block heater element is submerged in the cooling system’s coolant. When electrical power (110 volt
A.C.) is applied to the element, it creates heat. This
heat is transferred to the engine coolant. This provides easier engine starting and faster warm-up
when vehicle is operated in areas having extremely
low temperatures.

engine (Fig. 8) or (Fig. 10).
OPERATION
The engine cooling thermostat is a wax pellet
driven, reverse poppet choke type. The thermostat is
designed to provide the fastest warm up possible by
preventing leakage through it and to guarantee a
minimum engine operating temperature of 88 to
93°C (192 to 199°F). The thermostat also will automatically reach wide open so it will not restrict flow
to the radiator as temperature of the coolant rises in
hot weather to around 104°C (220°F). Above this
temperature the coolant temperature is controlled by
the radiator, fan, and ambient temperature, not the
thermostat.
The thermostat is operated by a wax filled container (pellet) which is sealed. When heated coolant
The thermostat is operated by a wax filled chamber (pellet) which is sealed. When heated coolant
reaches a predetermined temperature the wax pellet
expands enough to overcome the closing spring and
water pump pressure, which forces the valve to open.
Coolant leakage into the pellet will cause a thermostat to fail open. Do not attempt to free up a thermostat with a screwdriver.
Thermostat diagnostics is included in powertrain
control module’s (PCM) programing for on-board
diagnosis. The malfunction indicator light (MIL) will
illuminate and a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will
be set when an “open too soon” condition occurs. Do
not change a thermostat for lack of heater performance or temperature gauge position, unless a DTC
is present. For other probable causes, (Refer to 7 COOLING/ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
Thermostat failing shut is the normal long term
mode of failure, and normally, only on high mileage
vehicles. The temperature gauge will indicate this
(Refer to 7 - COOLING/ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING).

DESCRIPTION
The radiator is a cross-flow type (horizontal tubes)
with design features that provide greater strength
along with sufficient heat transfer capabilities to
keep the engine satisfactorily cooled. The radiator
has plastic side tanks and aluminum cooling tubes.
OPERATION
The radiator functions as a heat exchanger, using
air flow across the exterior of the radiator tubes. This
heat is then transferred from the coolant and into
the passing air.

(3) Tighten the draincock by turning clockwise
until it stops.
(4) Fill the cooling system. (Refer to 7 - COOLING
- STANDARD PROCEDURE)
The cooling system is equipped with a pressure cap
that releases excessive pressure; maintaining a range
of 97-124 kPa (14-18 psi).
The cooling system will operate at higher than
atmospheric pressure. The higher pressure raises the
coolant boiling point thus, allowing increased radiator cooling capacity.
There is also a vent valve in the center of the cap.
This valve also opens when coolant is cooling and
contracting, allowing the coolant to return to cooling
system from coolant reserve system tank by vacuum
through a connecting hose. If valve is stuck shut,
or the coolant recovery hose is pinched, the
radiator hoses will be collapsed on cool down.
Clean the vent valve (Fig. 17) and inspect coolant recovery hose routing, to ensure proper
sealing when boiling point is reached.
The gasket in the cap seals the filler neck, so that
vacuum can be maintained, allowing coolant to be
drawn back into the radiator from the reserve tank.
If the gasket is dirty or damaged, a vacuum
may not be achieved, resulting is loss of coolant
and eventual overheating due to low coolant
level in radiator and engine.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
ket should relieve at 69-124 kPa (10-18 psi) and hold
pressure at 55 kPa (8 psi) minimum.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - COOLING SYSTEM
PRESSURE CAP TESTING
Dip the pressure cap in water. Clean any deposits
off the vent valve or its seat and apply cap to end of
the Pressure Cap Test Adaptor that is included with
the Cooling System Tester 7700 (Fig. 18). Working
the plunger, bring the pressure to 104 kPa (15 psi) on
the gauge. If the pressure cap fails to hold pressure
of at least 97 kPa (14 psi), replace the pressure cap.
CAUTION: The Cooling System Tester Tool is very
sensitive to small air leaks that will not cause cooling system problems. A pressure cap that does not
have a history of coolant loss should not be
replaced just because it leaks slowly when tested
with this tool. Add water to the tool. Turn tool
upside down and recheck pressure cap to confirm
that cap is bad.
If the pressure cap tests properly while positioned
on Cooling System Tester (Fig. 18), but will not hold
pressure or vacuum when positioned on the filler
neck. Inspect the filler neck and cap top gasket for
irregularities that may prevent the cap from sealing
properly.

RADIATOR FAN RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The radiator fan relay is a solid state type and is
located on the front bumper reinforcment (Fig. 22).
Refer to WIRING DIAGRAMS for a circuit schematic.
OPERATION
The solid state radiator fan relay is controlled by
the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) by way of a
Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal. The relay control circuit supplies a 12 volt signal to the PCM. The
PCM then pulses the ground circuit to achieve fan on
time. The relay provides a voltage to the fan motors
which is proportional to the pulse width it receives
from the PCM. The duty cycle ranges from 30% for
low speed operation, then ramps-up to 100% for high
speed operation. This fan control system provides
infinitely variable fan speeds, allowing for improved
fan noise, A/C performance, better engine cooling,
and additional vehicle power.
To control operation of the relay, the PCM looks at
inputs from:
• Engine coolant temperature
• A/C pressure transducer
• Ambient temperature from the body controller
• Vehicle speed
• Transmission oil temperature
The PCM uses these inputs to determine when the
fan should operate and at what speed. For further
information on fan operation, (Refer to 7 - COOLING/ENGINE/RADIATOR FAN - OPERATION).

COOLING 2.5L TURBO DIESEL
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DESCRIPTION - COOLING SYSTEM
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - COOLING SYSTEM
The cooling system regulates engine operating temperature. It allows the engine to reach normal operating temperature as quickly as possible, maintains
normal operating temperature and prevents overheating.
The cooling system also provides a means of heating the passenger compartment. The cooling system
is pressurized and uses a centrifugal water pump to
circulate coolant throughout the system. A separate
and remotely mounted, pressurized coolant tank
using a pressure/vent cap is used.
Establish what driving conditions caused the complaint. Abnormal loads on the cooling system such as
the following may be the cause:
(1) PROLONGED IDLE, VERY HIGH AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE, SLIGHT TAIL WIND AT IDLE,
SLOW TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC JAMS, HIGH SPEED
OR STEEP GRADES.
Driving techniques that avoid overheating are:
• Idle with A/C off when temperature gauge is at
end of normal range.
• Increasing engine speed for more air flow is recommended.
(2) TRAILER TOWING:
Consult Trailer Towing section of owners manual.
Do not exceed limits.
(3) RECENT SERVICE OR ACCIDENT REPAIR:
Determine if any recent service has been performed on vehicle that may effect cooling system.
This may be:
• Engine adjustments (incorrect timing)
• Slipping engine accessory drive belt
• Brakes (possibly dragging)
• Changed parts (incorrect water pump)
• Reconditioned radiator or cooling system refilling (possibly under filled or air trapped in system).
COOLING SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The cooling system consists of:
• Charge Air Cooler
• Electric Cooling Fans
• A aluminum-core radiator with plastic side
tanks
• A separate pressurized coolant tank
• A pressure/vent cap on the coolant tank
• Fan shroud
• Thermostat
• Coolant
• Low coolant warning lamp
• Coolant temperature gauge
• Water pump
• Hoses and hose clamps
NOTE: If investigation reveals none of the previous
items as a cause for an engine overheating complaint, refer to following Cooling System Diagnosis
charts.
These charts are to be used as a quick-reference
only.

1. During wet weather, moisture
(snow, ice, or rain condensation) on
the radiator will evaporate when the
thermostat opens. This opening
allows heated water into the radiator.
When the moisture contacts the hot

after operation at elevated
temperatures.
1. This a normal condition. No
repair necessary.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - COOLING SYSTEM
LEAK TEST
WARNING: THE WARNING WORDS “DO NOT OPEN
HOT” ON THE RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP IS A
SAFETY PRECAUTION. WHEN HOT, PRESSURE
BUILDS UP IN COOLING SYSTEM. TO PREVENT
SCALDING OR INJURY, THE RADIATOR CAP
SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED WHILE THE SYSTEM
IS HOT OR UNDER PRESSURE.
With engine not running, remove pressure/vent cap
from the coolant recovery pressure container and
wipe the filler neck sealing seat clean. The coolant
recovery pressure container should be full.
Attach the Cooling System Tester 7700 or equivalent to the radiator, as shown in (Fig. 1) and apply
104 kPa (15 psi) pressure. If the pressure drops more
than 13.8 kPa (2 psi) in 2 minutes, inspect all points
for external leaks.
All radiator and heater hoses should be shaken
while at 104 kPa (15 psi), since some leaks occur only
while driving due to engine movement.
If there are no external leaks, after the gauge dial
shows a drop in pressure, detach the tester. Start
engine and run until the thermostat opens, allowing
the coolant to expand. Reattach the cooling system
tester. If the needle on the dial fluctuates it indicates
a combustion leak, usually a head gasket leak.
WARNING: WITH TOOL IN PLACE, PRESSURE WILL
BUILD UP FAST. EXCESSIVE PRESSURE BUILT UP,
BY CONTINUOUS ENGINE OPERATION, MUST BE
RELEASED TO A SAFE PRESSURE POINT. NEVER
PERMIT PRESSURE TO EXCEED 138 kPa (20 psi).
If the needle on the dial does not fluctuate, raise
the engine rpm a few times. If an abnormal amount
of coolant or steam emits from the tailpipe, it may
indicate a coolant leak caused by a faulty head gasket, cracked engine block, or cracked cylinder head.
There may be internal leaks that can be determined by removing the oil dipstick. If water globules
appear intermixed with the oil it will indicate an
internal leak in the engine. If there is an internal
leak, the engine must be disassembled for repair.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - COOLING SYSTEM
FLOW CHECK
To determine whether coolant is flowing through
the cooling system, use the following procedures:
(1) If engine is cold, idle engine until normal operating temperature is reached. Then feel the upper
radiator hose. If it is hot, coolant is circulating.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE COOLING SYSTEM PRESSURE CAP WITH THE SYSTEM HOT AND
UNDER PRESSURE BECAUSE SERIOUS BURNS
FROM COOLANT CAN OCCUR.
Low coolant level in a cross flow radiator will
equalize in both tanks with engine off. With engine
at running and at operating temperature, the high
pressure inlet tank runs full and the low pressure
outlet tank drops, resulting in cooling system aeration. Aeration will draw air into the water pump
resulting in the following:
• High reading shown on the temperature gauge.
• Loss of coolant flow through the heater core.
• Corrosion in the cooling system.
• Water pump seal may run dry, increasing the
risk of premature seal failure.
• Combustion gas leaks into the coolant can also
cause the above problems.
CLEANING
Drain cooling system and refill with clean water.
Refer to procedures in this section. Run engine with
pressure/vent cap installed until upper radiator hose
is hot. Stop engine and drain water from system. If
water is dirty; fill, run, and drain system again, until
water runs clear.
INSPECTION
After performing a cleaning/flush procedure,
inspect all hoses, clamps and connections for deterioration and leaks. Inspect radiator and heater core for
leaks.

COOLANT
DESCRIPTION
Coolant flows through the engine water jackets
and cylinder heads absorbing heat produced by the
engine during operation. The coolant carries heat to
the radiator and heater core. Here it is transferred to
ambient air passing through the radiator and heater
core fins.
The required ethylene-glycol (antifreeze) and water
mixture depends upon the climate and vehicle operating conditions. The recommended mixture of 50/50
ethylene-glycol and water will provide protection
against freezing to -37 deg. C (-35 deg. F). The antifreeze concentration must always be a minimum of
44 percent, year-round in all climates. If percentage
is lower than 44 percent, engine parts may be
eroded by cavitation, and cooling system components may be severely damaged by corrosion.
Maximum protection against freezing is provided
with a 68 percent antifreeze concentration, which
prevents freezing down to -67.7 deg. C (-90 deg. F). A
higher percentage will freeze at a warmer temperature. Also, a higher percentage of antifreeze can
cause the engine to overheat because the specific
heat of antifreeze is lower than that of water.
100 Percent Ethylene-Glycol—Should Not Be Used in
Chrysler Vehicles
Use of 100 percent ethylene-glycol will cause formation of additive deposits in the system, as the corrosion inhibitive additives in ethylene-glycol require
the presence of water to dissolve. The deposits act as
insulation, causing temperatures to rise to as high as
149 deg. C (300 deg. F). This temperature is hot
enough to melt plastic and soften solder. The
increased temperature can result in engine detonation. In addition, 100 percent ethylene-glycol freezes
at -22 deg. C (-8 deg. F ).
Propylene-glycol Formulations—Should Not Be Used in
Chrysler Vehicles
Propylene-glycol formulations do not meet
Chrysler coolant specifications. It’s overall effective temperature range is smaller than that of ethylene-glycol. The freeze point of 50/50 propylene-glycol
and water is -32 deg. C (-26 deg. F). 5 deg. C higher
than ethylene-glycol’s freeze point. The boiling point
(protection against summer boil-over) of propyleneglycol is 125 deg. C (257 deg. F ) at 96.5 kPa (14 psi),
compared to 128 deg. C (263 deg. F) for ethylene-glycol. Use of propylene-glycol can result in boil-over or
freeze-up in Chrysler vehicles, which are designed for
ethylene-glycol. Propylene glycol also has poorer heat
transfer characteristics than ethylene glycol. This
ENGINE
7a - 15
can increase cylinder head temperatures under certain conditions.
Propylene-glycol/Ethylene-glycol Mixtures—Should Not Be
Used in Chrysler Vehicles
Propylene-glycol/ethylene-glycol
Mixtures
can
cause the destabilization of various corrosion inhibitors, causing damage to the various cooling system
components. Also, once ethylene-glycol and propylene-glycol based coolants are mixed in the vehicle,
conventional methods of determining freeze point will
not be accurate. Both the refractive index and specific gravity differ between ethylene glycol and propylene glycol.
CAUTION: Richer antifreeze mixtures cannot be
measured with normal field equipment and can
cause problems associated with 100 percent ethylene-glycol.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - COOLANT
CONCENTRATION TESTING
Coolant concentration should be checked when any
additional coolant was added to system or after a
coolant drain, flush and refill. The coolant mixture
offers optimum engine cooling and protection against
corrosion when mixed to a freeze point of -37°C
(-34°F) to -59°C (-50°F). The use of a hydrometer or a
refractometer can be used to test coolant concentration.
A hydrometer will test the amount of glycol in a
mixture by measuring the specific gravity of the mixture. The higher the concentration of ethylene glycol,
the larger the number of balls that will float, and
higher the freeze protection (up to a maximum of
60% by volume glycol).
A refractometer will test the amount of glycol in a
coolant mixture by measuring the amount a beam of
light bends as it passes through the fluid.
Some coolant manufactures use other types of glycols into their coolant formulations. Propylene glycol
is the most common new coolant. However, propylene
glycol based coolants do not provide the same freezing protection and corrosion protection and is not recommended.
CAUTION: Do not mix types of coolant—corrosion
protection will be severely reduced.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - COOLANT SERVICE
For engine coolant recommended service schedule,
(Refer to LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE/MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES - DESCRIPTION).
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ADDING
ADDITIONAL COOLANT
The pressure/vent cap should not be removed
from the coolant recovery pressure container
when the engine is hot. When additional coolant is
needed to maintain this level, it should be added to
the coolant recovery pressure container (Fig. 1). Use
only 50/50 mix of ethylene glycol type antifreeze and
distilled water. For the recommeded antifreeze/coolant type (Refer to LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE/FLUID TYPES - DESCRIPTION).
CAUTION: Do not use well water, or suspect water
supply in cooling system. A 50/50 ethylene glycol
and distilled water mix is recommended. For the
recommeded antifreeze/coolant type (Refer to
LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE/FLUID TYPES DESCRIPTION).
STANDARD PROCEDURE - COOLANT LEVEL
CHECK
NOTE: Do not remove pressure/vent cap for routine
coolant level inspections.
The coolant reserve system provides a quick visual
method for determining the coolant level without
removing the pressure/vent cap. With the engine
cold and not running, simply observe the level of
the coolant in the coolant recovery pressure container
(Fig. 2). The coolant level should be between the MIN
and MAX marks.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - COOLING SYSTEM
FILLING
(1) Remove pressure vent cap from coolant recovery pressure container.
(2) Loosen air bleed screw on the thermostat housing (Fig. 9).
(3) Slowly fill the cooling through the coolant
recovery pressure container until a steady stream of
coolant comes out of the air bleed.
(4) Tighten the air bleed screw.

of plastic (Fig. 4).
OPERATION
The coolant recovery pressure container works
with the pressure/vent cap to use thermal expansion
and contraction of the coolant to keep the coolant
free of trapped air. Provides a convenient and safe
method for checking coolant level and adjusting level
at atmospheric pressure without removing the pressure/vent cap. It also provides some reserve coolant
to cover deaeration, evaporation, or boiling losses.

OPERATION
INSTALLATION
The coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor (resistance varies inversley with temperature). This means
at cold tempertures its resistance is high so the voltage signal will be high. As coolant temperture
increases, resistance decreases and the signal voltage
will be low. This allows the sensor to provide an analog voltage signal to the ECM.
(1) Install coolant temperature sensor in cylinder
head (Fig. 8).
(2) Connect coolant temperature sensor electrical
connector (Fig. 8).
(3) Refill the cooling system. (Refer to 7 - COOLING/ENGINE/COOLANT - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The thermostat is not serviced separately.
The thermostat and housing must be replaced as
an assembly.
A pellet-type thermostat controls the operating
temperature of the engine by controlling the amount
of coolant flow to the radiator (Fig. 9).
OPERATION
The thermostat starts to open at 80°C (176°F).
Above this temperature, coolant is allowed to flow to
the radiator. This provides quicker engine warmup
and overall temperature control.
The same thermostat is used for winter and summer seasons. An engine should not be operated without a thermostat, except for servicing or testing.
Operating without a thermostat causes other problems. These are: longer engine warmup time, unreliable warmup performance, increased exhaust
emissions and crankcase condensation. This condensation can result in sludge formation.
(1) Disconnect negative battery cable.
(2) Drain cooling system (Refer to 7 - COOLING/
ENGINE/COOLANT - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
(3) Remove front wiper unit to gain access to thermostat housing(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/WIPERS/
WASHERS/WIPER MODULE - REMOVAL).
(4) Disconnect upper radiator hose adapter tube,

RADIATOR
DESCRIPTION
The radiator is a cross-flow type (horizontal tubes)
with design features that provide greater strength
along with sufficient heat transfer capabilities to
keep the engine satisfactorily cooled. The radiator
has plastic side tanks and aluminum cooling tubes.
OPERATION
The radiator functions as a heat exchanger, using
air flow across the exterior of the radiator tubes. This
heat is then transferred from the coolant and into
the passing air.

RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DESCRIPTION
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - COOLING SYSTEM
PRESSURE CAP
The cooling system pressure cap is located on the
radiator. The cap construction includes; stainless
steel swivel top, rubber seals, and retainer, main
spring, and a spring loaded valve (Fig. 19).
Dip the pressure cap in water. Clean any deposits
off the vent valve or its seat and apply cap to end of
the Pressure Cap Test Adaptor that is included with
the Cooling System Tester 7700. Working the
plunger, bring the pressure to 104 kPa (15 psi) on the
gauge. If the pressure cap fails to hold pressure of at
least 97 kPa (14 psi), replace the pressure cap.
CAUTION: The Cooling System Tester Tool is very
sensitive to small air leaks that will not cause cooling system problems. A pressure cap that does not
have a history of coolant loss should not be
replaced just because it leaks slowly when tested
with this tool. Add water to the tool. Turn tool
upside down and recheck pressure cap to confirm
that cap is bad.

If the pressure cap tests properly while positioned
on Cooling System Tester (Fig. 20), but will not hold
pressure or vacuum when positioned on the filler
neck. Inspect the filler neck and cap top gasket for
irregularities that may prevent the cap from sealing
properly.
OPERATION
The cooling system is equipped with a pressure cap
that releases excessive pressure; maintaining a range
of 97-124 kPa (14-18 psi).
The cooling system will operate at higher than
atmospheric pressure. The higher pressure raises the
coolant boiling point thus, allowing increased radiator cooling capacity.
There is also a vent valve in the center of the cap.
This valve also opens when coolant is cooling and
contracting, allowing the coolant to return to cooling
system from coolant reserve system tank by vacuum
through a connecting hose. If valve is stuck shut,
or the coolant recovery hose is pinched, the
radiator hoses will be collapsed on cool down.
Clean the vent valve (Fig. 19) and inspect coolant recovery hose routing, to ensure proper
sealing when boiling point is reached.
The gasket in the cap seals the filler neck, so that
vacuum can be maintained, allowing coolant to be
drawn back into the radiator from the reserve tank.
If the gasket is dirty or damaged, a vacuum
may not be achieved, resulting is loss of coolant
and eventual overheating due to low coolant
level in radiator and engine.

RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP (Continued)
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - PRESSURE
RELIEF TEST
The pressure cap upper gasket (seal) pressure
relief can be checked by removing the overflow hose
at the radiator filler neck nipple (Fig. 21). Attach the
Radiator Pressure Tool to the filler neck nipple and
pump air into the radiator. Pressure cap upper gasket should relieve at 69-124 kPa (10-18 psi) and hold
pressure at 55 kPa (8 psi) minimum.
WARNING: IF VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUN RECENTLY,
WAIT 15 MINUTES BEFORE REMOVING CAP. THEN
PLACE A SHOP TOWEL OVER THE CAP AND WITHOUT PUSHING DOWN ROTATE COUNTERCLOCKWISE TO THE FIRST STOP. ALLOW FLUIDS TO
ESCAPE THROUGH THE OVERFLOW TUBE AND
WHEN THE SYSTEM STOPS PUSHING COOLANT
AND STEAM INTO THE CRS TANK AND PRESSURE
DROPS PUSH DOWN AND REMOVE THE CAP COMPLETELY. SQUEEZING THE RADIATOR INLET HOSE
WITH A SHOP TOWEL (TO CHECK PRESSURE)
BEFORE AND AFTER TURNING TO THE FIRST
STOP IS RECOMMENDED.
CLEANING
Use only a mild soap to clean the pressure cap.

There is no need to remove the radiator cap at any
time except for the following purposes:
(1) Check and adjust coolant freeze point.
(2) Refill system with new coolant.
(3) Conducting service procedures.
(4) Checking for vacuum leaks.
Hold the cap in your hand, top side up (Fig. 21).
The vent valve at the bottom of the cap should open.
If the rubber gasket has swollen, preventing the
valve from opening, replace the cap.
Hold the cleaned cap in your hand, upside down.
If any light can be seen between vent valve and the
rubber gasket, replace the cap. Do not use a
replacement cap that has a spring to hold the
vent shut.
A replacement cap must be of the type designed for
coolant reserve systems. This design ensures coolant
return to the radiator.

The exhaust flex-joint coupling (Fig. 3) is used to
secure the catalytic converter to the exhaust manifold. The flex-joint has four bolts, four flag nuts and
a gasket that are separate parts from the exhaust
flex-joint. The flex-joint is welded to the catalytic
converter.
CAUTION: When servicing, care must be exercised
not to dent or bend the bellows or bellows cover of
the flex-joint. Should this occur, the flex-joint will
eventually fail and require the catalytic converter be
replaced.

DESCRIPTION
The toe board three-way catalytic converter is connected to the exhaust manifold by the use of flex
joint and a gasket. The outlet connects to the muffler
inlet pipe and is secured with a band type clamp
(Fig. 1).
The three-way catalytic converter simultaneously
converts three exhaust emissions into harmless
gases. Specifically, HC and CO emissions are converted into water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2).
Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) are converted into elemental Nitrogen (N) and water. The three-way catalyst is
most efficient in converting HC, CO and NOx at the
stoichiometric air fuel ratio of 14.7:1.
The oxygen content in a catalyst is important for
efficient conversion of exhaust gases. When a high
oxygen content (lean) air/fuel ratio is present for an
extended period, oxygen content in a catalyst can
reach a maximum. When a rich air/fuel ratio is
present for an extended period, the oxygen content in
the catalyst can become totally depleted. When this
occurs, the catalyst fails to convert the gases. This is
known as catalyst 9punch through.9
EXHAUST SYSTEM
RS
11 - 5
CATALYTIC CONVERTER (Continued)
Catalyst operation is dependent on its ability to
store and release the oxygen needed to complete the
emissions-reducing chemical reactions. As a catalyst
deteriorates, its ability to store oxygen is reduced.
Since the catalyst’s ability to store oxygen is somewhat related to proper operation, oxygen storage can
be used as an indicator of catalyst performance.
Refer to the appropriate Diagnostic Information for
diagnosis of a catalyst related Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC).
The combustion reaction caused by the catalyst
releases additional heat in the exhaust system, causing temperature increases in the area of the reactor
under severe operating conditions. Such conditions
can exist when the engine misfires or otherwise does
not operate at peak efficiency. Do not remove spark
plug wires from plugs or by any other means short
out cylinders, if exhaust system is equipped with a
catalytic converter. Failure of the catalytic converter
can occur due to temperature increases caused by
unburned fuel passing through the converter. This
deterioration of the catalyst core can result in excessively high emission levels, noise complaints, and
exhaust restrictions.
Unleaded gasoline must be used to avoid ruining
the catalyst core. Do not allow engine to operate
above 1200 RPM in neutral for extended periods over
5 minutes. This condition may result in excessive
exhaust system/floor pan temperatures because of no
air movement under the vehicle.
The flex joint allows flexing as the engine moves,
preventing breakage that could occur from the backand-forth motion of a transverse mounted engine.

EXHAUST SYSTEM AND
TURBOCHARGER
DESCRIPTION
The basic exhaust system consists of an engine
exhaust manifold, turbocharger, exhaust down pipe,
exhaust pipe, exhaust heat shield(s), muffler and
exhaust tailpipe
The exhaust system uses a single muffler.
The exhaust system must be properly aligned to
prevent stress, leakage and body contact. If the system contacts any body panel, it will transfer objectionable noises originating from the engine to the
body.
When inspecting an exhaust system, critically
inspect for cracked or loose joints, stripped screw or
bolt threads, corrosion damage and worn, cracked or
broken hangers. Replace all components that are
badly corroded or damaged. DO NOT attempt to
repair.
When replacement is required, use original equipment parts (or equivalent). This will assure proper
alignment and provide acceptable exhaust noise levels.
CAUTION: Avoid application of rust prevention compounds or undercoating materials to exhaust system floor pan exhaust heat shields. Light overspray
near the edges is permitted. Application of coating
will result in excessive floor pan temperatures and
objectionable fumes.

EXHAUST SYSTEM AND TURBOCHARGER
RG
TURBOCHARGER SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION: The turbocharger is a performance part
and must not be tampered with. The wastegate
bracket is an integral part of the turbocharger. Tampering with the wastegate components can reduce
durability by increasing cylinder pressure and thermal loading due to incorrect inlet and exhaust manifold pressure. Poor fuel economy and failure to
meet regulatory emissions laws may result. Increasing the turbocharger boost WILL NOT increase
engine power.
The turbocharger is an exhaust-driven supercharger which increases the pressure and density of
the air entering the engine. With the increase of air
entering the engine, more fuel can be injected into
the cylinders, which creates more power during combustion.
The turbocharger assembly consists of four (4)
major component systems (Fig. 1) (Fig. 2):
• Turbine section
• Compressor section
• Bearing housing
• Wastegate

EXHAUST GAS
EXHAUST GAS TO EXHAUST PIPE
Exhaust gas pressure and energy drive the turbine, which in turn drives a centrifugal compressor
that compresses the inlet air, and forces the air into
the engine through the charge air cooler and plumbing. Since heat is a by-product of this compression,
the air must pass through a charge air cooler to cool
the incoming air and maintain power and efficiency.
Increasing air flow to the engine provides:
• Improved engine performance
• Lower exhaust smoke density
• Improved operating economy
• Altitude compensation
• Noise reduction.
The turbocharger also uses a wastegate (Fig. 3),
which regulates intake manifold air pressure and
prevents over boosting at high engine speeds. When
the wastegate valve is closed, all of the exhaust gases
flow through the turbine wheel. As the intake manifold pressure increases, the wastegate actuator opens
the valve, diverting some of the exhaust gases away
from the turbine wheel. This limits turbine shaft
speed and air output from the impeller.
The turbocharger is lubricated by engine oil that is
pressurized, cooled, and filtered. The oil is delivered
to the turbocharger by a supply line that is tapped
into the oil filter head. The oil travels into the bearing housing, where it lubricates the shaft and bearings (Fig. 4). A return pipe at the bottom of the

bearing housing, routes the engine oil back to the
crankcase.
The most common turbocharger failure is bearing
failure related to repeated hot shutdowns with inadequate “cool-down” periods. A sudden engine shut
down after prolonged operation will result in the
transfer of heat from the turbine section of the turbocharger to the bearing housing. This causes the oil
to overheat and break down, which causes bearing
and shaft damage the next time the vehicle is
started.
Letting the engine idle after extended operation
allows the turbine housing to cool to normal operating temperature. The following chart should be used
as a guide in determining the amount of engine idle
time required to sufficiently cool down the turbocharger before shut down, depending upon the type
of driving and the amount of cargo.

The electrically heated Rear Window Defogger (Fig.
1), Heated Power Side View Mirrors, and Heated
Windshield Wiper De-icer (Fig. 2)is available on
select models.
OPERATION
The Rear Window Defogger(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/HEATED GLASS - DESCRIPTION) system consists of two vertical bus bars linked by a series of
grid lines on the inside surface of the rear window.
The electrical circuit consists of the rear defogger
switch in the HVAC control assembly and a relay
with timer switch to turn OFF the system after ten
minutes. The main feed circuit is protected by fuse
13 (40 amp) in the Power Distribution Center (PDC)
which is connected directly to the front control module (FCM) to form an integrated unit called an Integrated Power Module (IPM). The rear defogger
switch and relay also activates the heated power side
view mirrors. The rear defogger switch also activates
the heated windshield wiper de-icer which is powered
by the RUN/ACC relay in the IPM and feed thru fuse
#11 (20 amp) in the PDC. The heated mirror circuit
is protected by a non-servicable Positive Temperature
Coefficient (PTC) located inside the PDC. The heated
windshield wiper de-icer circuit is protected by fuse
11 (20 amp) in the PDC.
The Heated Windshield Wiper Deicer is also activated when the DEFROST mode is selected on the
HVAC. In the DEFROST mode the rear defogger
timout is bypassed, the heated windshield wiper deicer will stay ON until the another mode is selected.
For circuit information and component location refer
to appropriate section for Wiring Diagrams.
CAUTION:
Since grid lines can be damaged or scraped off
with sharp instruments, care should be taken in
cleaning the glass or removing foreign materials,
decals or stickers. Normal glass cleaning solvents
or hot water used with rags or toweling is recommended.

WINDSHIELD GRID
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - SYSTEM TEST
Electrically heated rear window defogger or the
heated windshield wiper deicer operation can be
checked on the vehicle in the following manner:
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(2) Using a ammeter on the battery, turn the rear
defogger control switch to the ON position, a distinct
increase in amperage draw should be noted.
(3) The rear window defogger or the heated windshield wiper deicer operation can be checked by feeling the glass. A distinct difference in temperature
between the grid lines and adjacent clear glass can
be detected in 3 to 4 minutes of operation.
(4) Using a DC voltmeter (Fig. 4) contact terminal
B with the negative lead, and terminal A with the
positive lead. The voltmeter should read 10-14 volts.
(5) Indicator light illumination means that there is
power available at the switch only and does not necessarily verify system operation.
(6) If turning the defogger switch ON, no distinct
current draw on the ammeter the problem should be
isolated in the following manner:
• Confirm that ignition switch is ON.
• Ensure that the heated rear window or the
heated windshield wiper deicer feed pigtail is connected to the wiring harness and that the ground
pigtail is in fact grounded.
• Ensure that the proper fuse in the PDC is OK.
(7) When the above steps have been completed and
the system is still inoperative it may be necessary to
connect a DRBIII scan tool and refer to the Diagnostic Service Manual, you may also check for the following being defective:
• HVAC control assembly
• Rear window defogger relay in the PDC portion
of the IPM.
• Rear window defogger relay control circuity in
the FCM portion of the IPM.
• Check for loose connector or a wire pushed out
of connector.
• Rear window or the windshield grid lines (all
grid lines would have to be broken, or one of the feed
pigtails not connected to the bus bar, for no ammeter
deflection).
(8) If turning the switch ON produces severe voltmeter deflection, the circuit should be closely checked
for a shorting condition.
(9) If the system operation has been verified but
indicator LED does not light, replace the HVAC control assembly.
(10) For detailed wiring information, refer to the
appropriate section for Wiring Diagrams.

HEATED SEAT SYSTEM
Vehicles with the heated seat option can be visually identified by the two separate heated seat
switches located in the instrument panel center
stack, just above the radio (Fig. 1). The heated seat
system allows the front seat driver and passenger to
select from two different levels of supplemental electrical seat heating (HI/LO), or no seat heating to suit
their individual comfort requirements. The heated
seat system for this vehicle includes the following
major components, which are described in further
detail later in this section:
• Heated Seat Elements - Four heated seat elements are used per vehicle, two for each front seat.
One heated seat element is integral to each front
seat trim cover, one in the seat back and one in the
seat bottom (cushion). Service replacement heating
elements are available, refer to heated seat elements
later in this section for additional information.
• Heated Seat Modules - Two heated seat modules are used per vehicle. One module is mounted to
each of the seat cushion pans, located under the forward edge of each front seat. Refer to heated seat
module in the electronic control modules section of
the service manual for additional information.
• Heated Seat Sensors - Two heated seat sensors are used per vehicle, one for each front seat. The
heated seat sensors are integral to each of the heated
seat bottoms (cushions).

HEATED SEAT SYSTEM (Continued)
• Heated Seat Switch - Two heated seat
switches are used per vehicle, one for the driver and
one for the passenger side front seats. The switches
are mounted to in the instrument panel center stack.
Refer to the description of the heated seat switch
later in this section for additional information.
Hard wired circuitry connects the heated seat system components to each other through the electrical
system of the vehicle. These hard wired circuits are
integral to several wire harnesses, which are routed
throughout the vehicle and retained by many different methods. These circuits may be connected to each
other, to the vehicle electrical system and to the
heated seat system components through the use of a
combination of soldered splices and splice block connectors. Refer to Wiring for complete system wiring
schematics. The wiring information also includes the
proper wire and connector repair procedures, further
details on wire harness routing and retention, as well
as pin-out and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
OPERATION
The heated seat system components operate on
battery current received through a fuse in the Integrated Power Module (IPM) on a fused ignition
switch output (run-acc) circuit so that the system will
only operate when the ignition switch is in the On or
Accessory positions. The heated seat system will be
turned Off automatically whenever the ignition
switch is turned to any position except On or Accessory. Also, the heated seat system will not operate
when the surface temperature of the seat cushion
cover at either heated seat sensor is above the
designed temperature set points of the system. The
heated seat system has a self-diagnostic capability.
When certain failures are detected within the heated
seat system, the system will provide a visual indication of the failure by flashing the Light Emitting
Diode (LED) indicator lamps located in the heated
seat switches. See the owner’s manual in the vehicle
glove box for more information on the features, use
and operation of the heated seat system.

DESCRIPTION
SEAT CUSHION ELEMENT
The heated seat system includes two seat heating elements in each front seat, one for the seat cushion and
the other for the seat back. The two elements for each
seat that are connected in series with the Heated Seat
Module (HSM). The temperature sensor is a Negative
Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor. One temperature sensor is used for each seat, and it is located on
the seat cushion heating element for all models.
The seat heating elements are sewn into the seat
cushion cover trim and seat back cover trim units.
The heated seat elements and the temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or
damaged, the seat element assembly must be
replaced. Refer to the procedure in this section.
(1) From under the vehicle, remove the appropriate seats four retaining nuts.
(2) From inside the vehicle, pull the seat up, off
the mounting studs and lay it back, up against one of
the rear seats.
(3) Locate the heated seat module, attached to the
bottom of the seat cushion pan. Remove the heated
seat module from the seat cushion pan. Do not disconnect the electrical connectors at this time.
(4) Locate the green 4-way electrical connector,
connected to the heated seat module. Disconnect the
green 4-way connector from the heated seat module.
(5) Check for continuity between the two outboard
circuit cavities of the wire harness connector (Pins
1&4). There should be continuity. If OK, refer to
Heated Seat Module Diagnosis and Testing in the
Electronic Control Modules section of the service
manual for complete system testing procedures. If
not OK, install a replacement heated seat cushion
element. Refer to the procedure in this section.
OPERATION
The heated seat elements resist the flow of electrical
current. When battery current is passed through the
elements, the energy lost by the resistance of the elements to the current flow is released in the form of
heat. The temperature sensor is a NTC thermistor.
When the temperature of the seat cushion cover rises,
the resistance of the sensor decreases. The heated seat
module supplies a five-volt current to one side of each
sensor, and monitors the voltage drop through the
sensor on a return circuit. The heated seat module
uses this temperature sensor input to monitor the
temperature of the seat, and regulates the current
flow to the seat heating elements accordingly.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED SEAT
ELEMENTS
The wire harness connectors for the seat cushion and
seat back heating elements are located under the seat,
at the heated seat module. For circuit descriptions and
diagrams, refer to section 8W, Wiring Diagrams.
In order to access and test the heated seat elements it will be necessary to remove the appropriate
front seat retaining bolts and lay the seat rearward,
up against one of the rear seats. It is not necessary
to disconnect the seat electrical connectors, just use
care not to damage the attached wire harnesses
while testing.

ball joint) turn as an assembly.
FRONT SUSPENSION
DESCRIPTION - FRONT SUSPENSION
This vehicle has a MacPherson Strut type front
suspension (Fig. 1).
OPERATION - FRONT SUSPENSION
The front suspension allows each wheel on a vehicle to adapt to different road surfaces and conditions
without greatly affecting the opposite wheel and the
ability to control the vehicle. Each side of the front
suspension is allowed to pivot so the vehicle can be
steered in the direction preferred.
A strut assembly is used in place of the front suspension upper control arm and upper ball joint.
When a vehicle strikes a bump, the force is transferred through the hub, bearing, and knuckle, into
the strut assembly to absorb the force and dampen it.
The top of the strut is mounted directly to the strut
tower of the vehicle. During steering maneuvers, the
STANDARD PROCEDURE - LUBRICATION
There are no serviceable lubrication points on the
front suspension. The ball joints are sealed-for-life
and require no maintenance. The lower ball joints
have special grease fitting caps that prevent normal
grease gun attachment. This has been done to eliminate the possibility of over-filling, damaging the nonvented seal. Do not attempt to remove the special
grease fitting cap and replace it with a normal grease
zirc fitting.
CAUTION: No attempt should be made to replace
the ball joint grease fitting cap with a normal zirc
fitting or fill the ball joint with grease. Damage to
the grease seal can result.

HUB / BEARING
DESCRIPTION
The front wheel bearing and front wheel hub of
this vehicle are a hub and bearing unit type assembly (Unit III). This unit combines the front wheel
mounting hub (flange) and the front wheel bearing
into a sealed one-piece unit. The hub and bearing is
mounted to the center of the steering knuckle (Fig.
1). It is retained by four mounting bolts accessible
from the inboard side of the steering knuckle. The
hub flange has five wheel mounting studs.
The wheel mounting studs used to mount the tire
and wheel to the vehicle are the only replaceable
components of the hub and bearing assembly. Otherwise, the hub and bearing is serviced only as a complete assembly.
OPERATION
The hub and bearing has internal bearings that
allow the hub to rotate with the driveshaft, along
with the tire and wheel. The five wheel mounting
studs mount the tire and wheel, and brake rotor to
the vehicle.
FRONT SUSPENSION
RS

HUB / BEARING (Continued)
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HUB AND
BEARING
The condition of the front hub and bearing assembly is diagnosed using the inspection and testing procedure detailed below.
The bearing contained in the Unit III front hub/
bearing assembly will produce noise and vibration
when worn or damaged. The noise will generally
change when the bearings are loaded. A road test of
the vehicle is normally required to determine the
location of a worn or damaged bearing.
Find a smooth level road surface and bring the
vehicle up to a constant speed. When vehicle is at a
constant speed, swerve the vehicle back and forth
from the left and to the right. This will load and
unload the bearings and change the noise level.
When bearing damage is slight, the noise is sometimes noticeable at lower speeds and at other times
is more noticeable at speeds above 105 km/h (65
mph).

The ball joint is an integral part of the lower control arm (Fig. 1). The ball joint has a tapered stud
that is pressed into the aluminum knuckle. The ball
joint stud is threaded on the end for a retainer nut.
The ball joint has a non-vented seal boot. The seal
boot has an integrated heat shield.
The ball joint used in the lower control arm of this
vehicle is a sealed-for-life ball joint and requires no
maintenance lubrication. The ball joint has been
lubricated-for-life during the manufacturing process.
A special fitting cap is installed on the fill port. This
cap must not be removed and replaced with a common zirc fitting. The special cap is there to eliminate
the possibility of lubrication latter during the ball
joints life, thus damaging the non-vented seal boot.
NOTE: The ball joint does not require any type of
additional lubrication for the life of the vehicle. No
attempt should be made to ever add any lubrication
to the lower ball joint.

DESCRIPTION
The lower control arm is mounted to the front suspension crossmember using a pivot bolt through the
center of the front pivot bushing, and the front suspension cradle crossmember reinforcement traps the
rear bushing in the crossmember (Fig. 1).
The lower control arm is an iron casting with two
rubber bushings and a ball joint. The lower control
arm front bushing is the spool type and is pressed
into the lower control arm. The standard (Low-line)
lower control arm rear bushing is a push-on bushing
that is pushed over a stem on the rear of the lower
control arm. The optional (High-line, Premium,
Sport) lower control arm rear bushing is a hydrobushing that is pressed on. It has liquid filled voids
that provide more effective dampening than the standard bushing. Vehicles with rear hydro-bushings utilize a different lower control arm than vehicles with
standard bushings. They have a straight slightly
tapered round stem where the hydro-bushing is
mounted whereas the standard arm has a straight
stem with a squared knob on the end to retain the
bushing.
The lower control arm ball joint is pressed into the
outer end of the arm. The ball joint has a tapered
stud and retainer nut for fastening it to the steering
knuckle.
OPERATION
The lower control arm supports the lower end of
the steering knuckle and allows for the up and down
movement of the suspension during the jounce and
rebound travel. The lower control arm ball joint connects the arm to the steering knuckle.

STABILIZER BAR
DESCRIPTION
The stabilizer bar interconnects both front struts of
the vehicle and is attached to the front crossmember
(Fig. 1) .
Attachment of the stabilizer bar to the front crossmember is through 2 rubber-isolator cushion bushings and retainers. A double ball jointed stabilizer
bar link is used to attach each end of the stabilizer
bar to the front strut assemblies. All parts of the stabilizer bar are replaceable as individual components.
The stabilizer bar to front crossmember cushion
bushings are split for easy removal and installation.
The split in the bushings should be positioned toward
the rear of the vehicle, with the square corner facing
down, when the stabilizer bar is installed.
OPERATION
Jounce and rebound movements affecting one
wheel are partially transmitted to the opposite wheel
of the vehicle through the stabilizer bar. This helps

A Macpherson type strut assembly is used in place
of a conventional front suspension’s upper control
arm and upper ball joint. The bottom of the strut
mounts directly to the steering knuckle using two
bolts and nuts going through the strut clevis bracket
and steering knuckle. The top of the strut mounts
directly to the strut tower of the vehicle using the
threaded studs on the strut assemblies upper mount.
The strut assembly includes the components listed
in the figure (Fig. 38).
Each component is serviced by removing the strut
assembly from the vehicle and disassembling it.
The coil springs are side-oriented. Springs on the
left side of the vehicle have a left-hand wind top-tobottom while springs on the right side have a righthand wind top-to-bottom. This helps provide better
vehicle stability during jounce and rebound maneuvers of the front suspension. Left and right springs
must not be interchanged. Coil springs are rated separately for each corner or side of the vehicle depending on optional equipment and type of vehicle
service. If the coil springs require replacement, be
sure that the springs are replaced with springs meeting the correct load rating and spring rate for the
vehicle and its specific options.
OPERATION - STRUT ASSEMBLY
The strut assembly cushions the ride of the vehicle,
controlling vibration, along with jounce and rebound
of the suspension.

The jounce bumper limits suspension travel and
metal-to-metal contact under full jounce condition.
The strut dampens jounce and rebound motions of
the coil spring and suspension.
During steering maneuvers, the strut assembly
(through a pivot bearing in the upper strut mount)
and steering knuckle (through the lower ball joint)
turn as an assembly.

DESCRIPTION
The rear wheel bearing and rear wheel hub of this
vehicle are a one-piece sealed unit, or hub and bearing unit type assembly (Unit III). The hub and bearing is mounted to the center of the rear axle using 4
mounting bolts. It has five wheel mounting studs on
the hub flange.
All-Wheel-Drive vehicles have a hub and bearing
unit with a splined hole in the center of the hub for
rear driveshaft stub axle acceptance.
Front-Wheel-Drive vehicles with antilock brakes
have an internally mounted wheel speed sensor and
tone wheel. This hub and bearing can be identified
by the rounded cap and molded in connector on the
rear of the assembly (Fig. 7). The sensor and tone
wheel cannot be serviced separately from the hub
and bearing.

OPERATION
The hub and bearing has internal bearings that
allow the hub to rotate with the tire and wheel
assembly (and driveshaft on All-Wheel-Drive vehicles). The five wheel mounting studs mount the tire
and wheel assembly, and disc brake rotor or brake
drum to the vehicle.
On All-Wheel-Drive vehicles, the splined mating of
the driveshaft stub axle and hub allows the driveshaft to rotate with the hub and wheel.
Front-Wheel-Drive vehicles equipped with antilock
brakes have a wheel speed sensor and tone wheel
mounted to the rear of the hub and bearing. The tone
wheel rotates with the hub which is sensed by the
wheel speed sensor.
(1) Raise vehicle. (Refer to LUBRICATION &
MAINTENANCE/HOISTING - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
(2) Remove wheel and tire. (Refer to 22 - TIRES/
WHEELS - REMOVAL)
(3) Remove brake drum or disc brake caliper and
rotor from hub and bearing. (Refer to 5 - BRAKES/
HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL/DRUM - REMOVAL)(Refer to 5 - BRAKES/HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL/
ROTOR - REMOVAL)
(4) If equipped with antilock brakes, perform the
following:
(a) Remove secondary (yellow) retaining clip at
rear of wheel speed sensor head (Fig. 8).
(b) Push up on metal retaining clip (Fig. 8) until
it bottoms. This will release wheel speed sensor
head from hub and bearing.
(c) While holding metal clip up, pull back on
wheel speed sensor head removing it from hub and
bearing.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HUB AND
BEARING
The bearing contained in the hub and bearing
assembly will produce noise and vibration when worn
or damaged. The noise will generally change when
the bearings are loaded. A road test of the vehicle is
normally required to determine the location of a
worn or damaged bearing.
Find a smooth level road surface and bring the
vehicle up to a constant speed. When vehicle is at a
constant speed, swerve the vehicle back and forth
from the left and to the right. This will load and
unload the bearings and change the noise level.
When bearing damage is slight, the noise is sometimes noticeable at lower speeds and at other times
is more noticeable at speeds above 105 km/h (65
mph).

SHOCK ABSORBER
2 - 37
Tool 8526-2, on the tip of the Ball Joint Press screw
drive as shown (Fig. 22).
DESCRIPTION
There is one shock absorber on each side of the
rear suspension. The top of each shock absorber is
bolted to the frame rail. The bottom of each shock
absorber is bolted to the rear axle.
This vehicle is available with either standard type
or load-leveling shock absorbers. On the exterior,
load-leveling shock absorbers are larger in diameter
than standard shock absorbers. The load-leveling
shock absorbers mount the same as the standard
shock absorbers.
OPERATION
The shock absorber dampens jounce and rebound
motions of the spring and suspension.
Each load-leveling shock absorber is a self-leveling,
self-contained vehicle leveling system and shock
absorber combined. It does not require an external
compressor, hoses, or height leveling sensors. All the
height leveling sensors, hydraulic pump, etc., are contained inside the shock absorber. It uses road inputs
(bumps, stops, starts, turns, acceleration, deceleration,
etc.) to activate pumping, which results in the extension and compression of the shock absorber.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT
• Excessive positive camber will cause tread wear
on the outside of the tire.
DESCRIPTION - WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Vehicle wheel alignment is the positioning of all
interrelated front and rear suspension angles. These
angles affect the handling and steering of the vehicle
when it is in motion. Proper wheel alignment is
essential for efficient steering, good directional stability, and proper tire wear.
The method of checking a vehicle’s front and rear
wheel alignment varies depending on the manufacturer and type of equipment used. The manufacturer’s instructions should always be followed to ensure
accuracy
of
the
alignment,
except
when
DaimlerChrysler Corporation’s wheel alignment specifications differ.
On this vehicle, the suspension angles that can be
adjusted are as follows:
• Front Camber (with camber bolt package and
standard procedure)
• Front Toe
Check the wheel alignment and make all wheel
alignment adjustments with the vehicle standing at
its proper curb height specification. Curb height is
the normal riding height of the vehicle. It is measured from a certain point on the vehicle to the
ground or a designated area while the vehicle is sitting on a flat, level surface. Refer to Curb Height
Measurement in this section for additional information.
Typical wheel alignment angles and measurements
are described in the following paragraphs.
CAMBER
Camber is the inward or outward tilt of the top of
the tire and wheel assembly (Fig. 1). Camber is measured in degrees of angle relative to a true vertical
line. Camber is a tire wearing angle.
• Excessive negative camber will cause tread wear
at the inside of the tire.

CROSS CAMBER
CROSS CASTER
Cross camber is the difference between left and
right camber. To achieve the cross camber reading,
subtract the right side camber reading from the left.
For example, if the left camber is +0.3° and the right
camber is 0.0°, the cross camber would be +0.3°.
Cross caster is the difference between left and
right caster.
CASTER
Caster is the forward or rearward tilt of the steering knuckle in reference to the position of the upper
and lower ball joints. Caster is measured in degrees
of angle relative to a true vertical center line. This
line is viewed from the side of the tire and wheel
assembly (Fig. 2).
• Forward tilt (upper ball joint ahead of lower)
results in a negative caster angle.
• Rearward tilt (upper ball joint trailing lower)
results in a positive caster angle.
Although caster does not affect tire wear, a caster
imbalance between the two front wheels may cause
the vehicle to lead to the side with the least positive
caster.
TOE
Toe is the inward or outward angle of the wheels
as viewed from above the vehicle (Fig. 3).
• Toe-in is produced when the front edges of the
wheels on the same axle are closer together than the
rear edges.
• Toe-out is produced when the front edges of the
wheels on the same axle are farther apart than the
rear edges.
Toe-in and toe-out can occur at the front wheels
and the rear wheels.
Toe is measured in degrees or inches. The measurement identifies the amount that the front of the
wheels point inward (toe-in) or outward (toe-out). Toe
is measured at the spindle height. Zero toe means
the front and rear edges of the wheels on the same
axle are equally distant.

TOE-OUT ON TURNS
STEERING AXIS INCLINATION (S. A. I.)
Toe-out on turns is the relative positioning of the
front wheels while steering through a turn (Fig. 4).
This compensates for each front wheel’s turning
radius. As the vehicle encounters a turn, the outboard wheel must travel in a larger radius circle
than the inboard wheel. The steering system is
designed to make each wheel follow its particular
radius circle. To accomplish this, the front wheels
must progressively toe outward as the steering is
turned from center. This eliminates tire scrubbing
and undue tire wear when steering a vehicle through
a turn.
Steering axis inclination is the angle between a
true vertical line starting at the center of the tire at
the road contact point and a line drawn through the
center of the upper ball joint (or strut) and the lower
ball joint (Fig. 5). S.A.I. is built into the vehicle and
is not an adjustable angle. If S.A.I. is not within
specifications, a bent or damaged suspension component may be the cause.
Fig. 5 S.A.I. and I.A.
Fig. 4 Toe-Out On Turns
1 - TOE-OUT ON TURNS
DYNAMIC TOE PATTERN
Dynamic toe pattern is the inward and outward toe
movement of the front and rear tires through the
suspension’s jounce and rebound travel. As the vehicle’s suspension moves up and down, the toe pattern
varies. Toe pattern is critical in controlling the directional stability of the vehicle while in motion. Front
and rear dynamic toe pattern is preset by the factory
at the time the vehicle is assembled.
It is not necessary to check or adjust front or rear
dynamic toe pattern when doing a normal wheel
alignment. The only time dynamic toe pattern needs
to be checked or adjusted is if the frame of the vehicle has been damaged.
1 - S.A.I.
2 - CAMBER
3 - I.A.
INCLUDED ANGLE (I. A.)
Included angle is the sum of the S.A.I. angle plus
or minus the camber angle, depending on whether or
not the wheel has positive or negative camber (Fig.
5). If camber is positive, add the camber angle to the
S.A.I. angle. If camber is negative, subtract the camber angle from the S.A.I. angle. Included angle is not
adjustable, but can be used to diagnose a frame misalignment or bent suspension component (spindle,
strut).

THRUST ANGLE
Thrust angle is the averaged direction the rear
wheels are pointing in relation to the vehicle’s center
line (Fig. 6). The presence of negative or positive
thrust angle causes the rear tires to track improperly
to the left or right of the front tires (dog tracking).
• Negative thrust angle means the rear tires are
tracking to the left of the front tires.
• Positive thrust angle means the rear tires are
tracking to the right of the front tires.
Improper tracking can cause undue tire wear, a
lead or pull and a crooked steering wheel. Excessive
thrust angle can usually be corrected by adjusting
the rear wheel toe so that each wheel has one-half of
the total toe measurement.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - WHEEL ALIGNMENT
PRE-WHEEL ALIGNMENT INSPECTION
Before any attempt is made to change or correct
the wheel alignment, the following inspection and
necessary corrections must be made to ensure proper
alignment.
(1) Verify that the fuel tank is full of fuel. If the
tank is not full, the reduction in weight will affect
the curb height of the vehicle and the alignment
angles.
(2) The passenger and luggage compartments of
the vehicle should be free of any load that is not factory equipment.
(3) Check the tires on the vehicle. All tires must be
the same size and in good condition with approximately the same amount of tread wear. Inflate all
the tires to the recommended air pressure.
(4) Check the front wheel and tire assemblies for
excessive radial runout.
(5) Inspect lower ball joints and all steering linkage for looseness, binding, wear or damage. Repair as
necessary.
(6) Check suspension fasteners for proper torque
and retighten as necessary.
(7) Inspect all suspension component rubber bushings for signs of wear or deterioration. Replace any
faulty bushings or components before aligning the
vehicle.
(8) Check the vehicle’s curb height to verify it is
within specifications. Refer to Curb Height Measurement.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT SETUP
(1) Position the vehicle on an alignment rack.
(2) Install all required alignment equipment on
the vehicle per the alignment equipment manufacturer’s instructions. On this vehicle, a four-wheel alignment is recommended.
NOTE: Prior to reading the vehicle’s alignment
readouts, the front and rear of vehicle should be
jounced. Induce jounce (rear first, then front) by
grasping the center of the bumper and jouncing
each end of vehicle an equal number of times. The
bumper should always be released when vehicle is
at the bottom of the jounce cycle.
(3) Read the vehicle’s current front and rear alignment settings. Compare the vehicle’s current align-

ment settings to the vehicle specifications for camber,
caster and toe-in. (Refer to 2 - SUSPENSION/
WHEEL ALIGNMENT - SPECIFICATIONS)
(4) If front camber and caster are not within specifications, proceed to CAMBER AND CASTER below.
If caster and camber are within specifications, proceed to TOE which can be found following CAMBER
AND CASTER. Rear camber, caster and toe are not
adjustable. If found not to be within specifications,
reinspect for damaged suspension or body components and replace as necessary.
CAMBER AND CASTER
Camber and caster settings on this vehicle are
determined at the time the vehicle is designed, by
the location of the vehicle’s suspension components.
This is referred to as NET BUILD. The result is no
required adjustment of camber and caster after the
vehicle is built or when servicing the suspension
components. Thus, when performing a wheel alignment, caster and camber are not normally considered
adjustable angles. Camber and caster should be
checked to ensure they meet vehicle specifications.
If front camber is found not to meet alignment
specifications, it can be adjusted using an available
camber adjustment bolt package. Before installing a
camber adjustment bolt package on a vehicle found
to be outside the specifications, inspect the suspension components for any signs of damage or bending.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to adjust the vehicles
wheel alignment by heating, bending or by performing any other modification to the vehicle’s front
suspension components or body.
If camber readings are not within specifications,
use the following procedure to install the front camber adjustment bolt package and then adjust front
camber.
CAMBER ADJUSTMENT BOLT PACKAGE INSTALLATION
The camber adjustment bolt package contains 2
flange bolts, 2 cam bolts, 2 dog bone washers, and 4
nuts. This package services both sides of the vehicle.
Use the package to attach the strut clevis bracket to
the steering knuckle after the strut clevis bracket
has been modified. To install and adjust the camber
adjustment bolt package, follow the procedure below.
(1) Raise the vehicle until its tires are not supporting the weight of the vehicle.
(2) Remove the front tire and wheel assemblies.
CAUTION: When removing the steering knuckle
from the strut clevis bracket, do not put a strain on
the brake flex hose. Also, do not let the weight of
the steering knuckle assembly be supported by the
brake flex hose when removed from the strut
assembly. If necessary use a wire hanger to support the steering knuckle assembly or if required
remove the brake flex hose from the caliper assembly.
CAUTION: The knuckle to strut assembly attaching
bolt shanks are serrated and must not be turned
during removal. Remove the nuts while holding the
bolts stationary.
(3) Remove the top and bottom, strut clevis
bracket to steering knuckle attaching bolts (Fig.
7)and discard. Separate the steering knuckle from
the strut clevis bracket and position steering knuckle
so it is out of the way of the strut.

CAUTION: When slotting the bottom mounting hole
on the strut clevis bracket, do not enlarge the hole
beyond the indentations on the sides of the strut
clevis bracket (Fig. 8).
(4) Using an appropriate grinder and grinding
wheel, slot the bottom hole in both sides of the strut
clevis bracket (Fig. 8).
CAUTION: After slotting the strut clevis bracket
hole, do not install the original attaching bolts when
assembling the steering knuckle to the strut assembly. Only the flange bolts, cam bolts, and dog bone
washers from the service package must be used to
attach the steering knuckle to the strut after the
mounting hole is slotted.

(9) Lower the vehicle. Jounce the front and rear of
vehicle an equal amount of times.
(10) Adjust the front camber to the preferred setting by rotating the lower eccentric cam bolt against
the cam stop areas on the strut clevis bracket (Fig.
11). When camber is set, tighten the upper strut clevis bracket bolt and lower cam bolt. Again jounce
front and rear of vehicle an equal amount of times
and verify front camber setting. Torque both front
strut to steering knuckle attaching bolts to 81 N·m
(60 ft. lbs.) plus an additional 1/4 (90°) turn after the
required torque is met.
(11) If toe readings obtained are not within the
required specification range, adjust toe to meet the
preferred specification setting. Toe is adjustable
using the following procedure.

Vehicle height is not adjustable. If the measurement is not within specifications, inspect the vehicle
for bent or weak suspension components. Compare
the parts tag on the suspect coil spring(s) to the
parts book and the vehicle sales code, checking for a
match. Once removed from the vehicle, compare the
coil spring height to a correct new or known good coil
spring. The heights should vary if the suspect spring
is weak.

Restraint Controller (ORC). The impact sensor is an
accelerometer that senses deceleration. The deceleration pulses are sent to a microprocessor which contains a decision algorithm. When an impact is severe
enough to require airbag protection, the ORC microprocessor sends a signal that completes the electrical
circuit to the driver and passenger airbags. The
impact sensor is calibrated for the specific vehicle
and reacts to the severity and direction of an impact.

PASSENGER AIRBAG
DESCRIPTION
WARNING: NEVER DISASSEMBLE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS NO
SERVICEABLE PARTS.
The Passenger Airbag is located beneath the
instrument panel and pad assembly. The airbag is
mounted to the back side of the instrument panel
reinforcement.
The instrument panel top pad is the most visible
part of the passenger airbag system. Located under
the instrument panel top pad are the airbag door, the
passenger airbag cushion and the airbag cushion
supporting components.
The passenger airbag includes a magnesium housing within which the cushion and inflator are
mounted and sealed.
Following a passenger airbag deployment, the passenger airbag and the instrument panel must be
replaced. The passenger airbag cannot be repaired,
and must be replaced if deployed or damaged in any
way.
OPERATION
The passenger airbag is equipped with two inflators, each with three levels of pressure output. The
inflators seal the hole in the airbag cushion so it can
discharge the gas it produces directly into the cushion when supplied with the proper electrical signal.
Following an airbag deployment, the airbag cushion
quickly deflates by venting this gas through the
cushion material towards the instrument panel.
The passenger airbag is secured with screws to the
instrument panel beneath the instrument panel top
pad and above the glove box opening. The instrument
panel top pad above the glove box opening conceals
the airbag door and a predetermined hinge line
beneath its decorative cover. Upon airbag deployment, the top pad will bend at the hinge line and the
door will fold back out of the way onto the top of the
instrument panel.
When the front airbag system is deployed, the following MUST be replaced:
• Complete Steering Column Assembly.
• Lower Steering Column Coupler.
• Steering Wheel.
• Clock Spring.
• Driver Airbag.
• Passenger Airbag.
• Upper Instrument Panel with Pad.
RS
CARE OF UNDEPLOYED AIRBAGS
Airbags must be stored in their original special

SEAT BELT TENSIONER
DESCRIPTION
The seat belt system incorporates Seat Belt Tensioners. The tensioner is designed to hold the occupant in their respective seat by retracting the seat
belt up to four inches. They are integral to the front
seat belt buckles and cannot be serviced. If found
defective they must be replaced. After an airbag
deployment, the tensioner must be replaced.
OPERATION
At the onset of an impact event, each tensioner
uses a pyrotechnic device which is triggered simultaneously with the airbags to rapidly retract the seat
belts. With the slack removed, the occupant’s forward
motion in an impact will be reduced as will the likelihood of contacting interior components. After an
impact that deploys the airbags, the seat belt tensioner assembly must be replaced.
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) monitors
the seat belt tensioner circuit resistance and reports
active and stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC’s) if
any problem is found.
RESTRAINTS
RS

SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG
CONTROL MODULE
DESCRIPTION
RS
REMOVAL
NOTE: Diagnose the SIACM using the service/diagnostic manual.
The side airbag system is a safety devise designed
to reduce the risk of fatality or serious injury, caused
by a side impact of the vehicle.
Vehicles equipped with side impact airbags use two
Side Impact Airbag Control Modules (SIACM). One is
located on each respective side body B-pillar. Each
contains an impact sensor that senses a side impact
occurrence. The SIACM communicates with the ORC
via the PCI bus in order to notify the driver of any
potential side airbag system problem.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable terminal.
(2) Remove the lower B-pillar trim from the appropriate side of the vehicle. Refer to Body, Interior,
B-Pillar Lower Trim, Removal.
(3) Remove the three SIACM retaining screws and
remove the module from the vehicle.
(4) Disconnect the SIACM electrical connector.
OPERATION
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL THE SIACM IF THE
MOUNTING LOCATION IS DEFORMED OR DAMAGED.
The impact sensor provides verification of the
direction and severity of the side impact. The right
side SIACM controls the right seat airbag. The left
side SIACM controls the left seat airbag. In the event
of a side impact the appropriate SIACM will send an
electronic signal to its airbag, deploying the airbag.
The SIACM communicates with the Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) via the PCI bus circuit.
The accelerometer pulses are sent to a microprocessor, which contains a decision algorithm. When an
impact is severe enough to require airbag protection,
the SIACM microprocessor sends a signal to deploy
the side airbag that completes the electrical circuits
to the right or left side airbag. The sensor is calibrated for the specific vehicle and reacts to the severity and direction of the impact.
INSTALLATION
(1) Connect the SIACM electrical connector.
(2) Place the module in the slot on their respective
B-pillar. Install the three SIACM retaining screws.
Torque screws to 5.7 - 7.9 N·m (50 - 70 lbs.)
CAUTION: Use the correct screws when installing
the SIACM.
(3) Install the lower B-pillar trim on the appropriate side of the vehicle. Refer to Body, Interior, B-Pillar Lower Trim, Installation.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT THE BATTERY NEGATIVE
CABLE.

bration that may prove necessary is to drive the vehicle in three complete circles at 5 to 8 kilometers-perhour (3 to 5 miles-per-hour), on level ground, in not
less than forty-eight seconds. This will reorient the
compass unit to its vehicle.
The compass unit also will compensate for magnetism the body of the vehicle may acquire during normal use. However, avoid placing anything magnetic
directly on the roof of the vehicle. Magnetic mounts
for an antenna, a repair order hat, or a funeral procession flag can exceed the compensating ability of
the compass unit if placed on the roof panel. Magnetic bit drivers used on the fasteners that hold the
overhead console assembly to the roof header can
also affect compass operation. If the vehicle roof
should become magnetized, the demagnetizing and
calibration procedures found in this section may be
required to restore proper compass operation.
DESCRIPTION - TEMPERATURE
All the available overhead consoles on this model
include Temperature information. The temperature
displays the outside ambient temperature in whole
degrees. The temperature display can be toggled

OVERHEAD CONSOLE (Continued)
from Fahrenheit to Celsius by selecting the desired
U.S./Metric option from the customer programmable
features. The displayed temperature is not an instant
reading of conditions, but an average temperature. It
may take the temperature display several minutes to
respond to a major temperature change, such as driving out of a heated garage into winter temperatures.
When the ignition switch is turned to the Off position, the last displayed temperature reading stays in
the electronic control modules (CT, CMTC, EVIC)
memory. When the ignition switch is turned to the
On position again, the electronic module will display
the memory temperature for one minute; then update
the display to the current average temperature reading within five minutes.
The temperature function is supported by an ambient temperature sensor. The sensor is mounted outside the passenger compartment near the front and
center of the vehicle, and is hard wired to the Front
Control Module (FCM). The FCM sends temperature
status messages to the module over the J1850 PCI
data bus circuit.
Following are general descriptions of the major
components used in the overhead console. Refer to
Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit schematics.
OPERATION
Refer to the vehicle Owner’s Manual for specific
operation of each overhead console and its systems.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - OVERHEAD
CONSOLE
If the problem with the overhead console is an
inaccurate or scrambled display, refer to Self-Diagnostic Test below. If the problem with the overhead
console is incorrect Vacuum Fluorescent Display
(VFD) dimming levels, use a DRB IIIt scan tool and
the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual to test for
the correct dimming message inputs being received
from the Body Control Module (BCM) or Front Control Module (FCM) over the J1850 Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus circuit. If
the problem is a no-display condition, use the following procedures. For complete circuit diagrams, refer
to Overhead Console in the Wiring Diagrams section of the service manual.
(1) Check the fused B(+) fuse in the integrated
power module. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair
the shorted circuit or component as required and
replace the faulty fuse.
(2) Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) fuse
in the integrated power module. If OK, go to Step 3.
If not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit to the
fused B(+) fuse in the integrated power module as
required.
(3) Check the fused ignition switch output (run/
start) fuse in the integrated power module. If OK, go
to Step 4. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or
component as required and replace the faulty fuse.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch
output (run/start) fuse in the integrated power module. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the open

c. Failed J1850 Communication (EVIC only),
BUS (CT, CMTC) - The electronics module is not
receiving proper message input through the J1850
PCI data bus circuit. This can result from one or
more faulty electronic modules in the vehicle, or from
a faulty PCI data bus. The use of a DRB IIIt scan
tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual
are required for further diagnosis.
NOTE: If the compass functions, but accuracy is
suspect, it may be necessary to perform a variation
adjustment. This procedure allows the compass
unit to accommodate variations in the earth’s magnetic field strength, based on geographic location.
Refer to Compass Variation Adjustment in the Service Procedures section of this group.
NOTE: If the compass reading displays dashes, and
only “CAL” appears in the display, demagnetizing
may be necessary to remove excessive residual
magnetic fields from the vehicle. Refer to Compass
Demagnetizing in the Service Procedures section of
this group.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - READING/
COURTESY LAMP REPLACEMENT
(1) Open hood, disconnect and isolate the negative
battery cable remote terminal from the remote battery post.
(2) Remove the reading/courtesy lamp lens. Using
a trim stick, gently pry the forward edge of the reading/courtesy lamp lens outward.
(3) Remove the reading/courtesy lamp socket from
the overhead console. Rotate the reading/courtesy
lamp socket one quarter turn counter clockwise.
(4) Remove the lamp and socket assembly.
(5) Reverse the above procedure to install.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - COMPASS
CALIBRATION
CAUTION: Do not place any external magnets, such
as magnetic roof mount antennas, in the vicinity of
the compass. Do not use magnetic tools when servicing the overhead console.
The electronic compass unit features a self-calibrating design, which simplifies the calibration procedure. This feature automatically updates the
compass calibration while the vehicle is being driven.
This allows the compass unit to compensate for small
changes in the residual magnetism that the vehicle
may acquire during normal use. If the compass readings appear to be erratic or out of calibration, perform the following calibration procedure. Also, new
service replacement Electronic Modules (EVIC,
CMTC, CT) must have their compass calibrated
using this procedure. Do not attempt to calibrate the
compass near large metal objects such as other vehicles, large buildings, or bridges; or, near overhead or
underground power lines.
NOTE: Whenever the compass is calibrated manually, the variance number must also be reset. Refer
to Compass Variation Adjustment in this group.
Calibrate the compass manually as follows:
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the On position. If
the compass/thermometer data is not currently being
displayed, momentarily depress and release the C/T
push button to reach the compass/thermometer display.
(2) On Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) and Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC)
equipped vehicles depress the Reset push button and
hold the button down until “CAL” appears in the display. This takes about ten seconds, and appears
about five seconds after “VAR = XX” is displayed. On
Compass Temperature Module (CT) equipped vehicles
depress the C/T push button and US/M push button
down until “CAL” appears in the display. This takes
about ten seconds, and appears about five seconds
after “VAR = XX” is displayed.
(3) Release the push button(s).
(4) Drive the vehicle on a level surface, away from
large metal objects and power lines, through three or
more complete circles at between five and eight kilometers-per-hour (three and five miles-per-hour) in
not less than 48 seconds. The “CAL” message will
disappear from the display to indicate that the compass is now calibrated.
NOTE: If the “CAL” message remains in the display,
either there is excessive magnetism near the compass, or the unit is faulty. Repeat the calibration
procedure one more time.
NOTE: If the wrong direction is still indicated in the
compass display, the area selected for calibration
may be too close to a strong magnetic field. Repeat
the calibration procedure in another location.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - COMPASS
DEMAGNETIZING
A degaussing tool (Special Tool 6029) is used to
demagnetize, or degauss, the overhead console forward mounting screw and the roof panel above the
overhead console. Equivalent units must be rated as
continuous duty for 110/115 volts and 60 Hz. They
must also have a field strength of over 350 gauss at 7
millimeters (0.25 inch) beyond the tip of the probe.
To demagnetize the roof panel and the overhead
console forward mounting screw, proceed as follows:
(1) Be certain that the ignition switch is in the Off
position, before you begin the demagnetizing procedure.
(2) Connect the degaussing tool to an electrical
outlet, while keeping the tool at least 61 centimeters
(2 feet) away from the compass unit.
(3) Slowly approach the head of the overhead console forward mounting screw with the degaussing
tool connected.
(4) Contact the head of the screw with the plastic
coated tip of the degaussing tool for about two seconds.
(5) With the degaussing tool still energized, slowly
back it away from the screw. When the tip of the tool
is at least 61 centimeters (2 feet) from the screw
head, disconnect the tool.
(6) Place a piece of paper approximately 22 by 28
centimeters (8.5 by 11 inches), oriented on the vehicle
lengthwise from front to rear, on the center line of
the roof at the windshield header (Fig. 1). The purpose of the paper is to protect the roof panel from
scratches, and to define the area to be demagnetized.
(7) Connect the degaussing tool to an electrical
outlet, while keeping the tool at least 61 centimeters
(2 feet) away from the compass unit.
(8) Slowly approach the center line of the roof
panel at the windshield header, with the degaussing
tool connected.
(9) Contact the roof panel with the plastic coated
tip of the degaussing tool. Be sure that the template
is in place to avoid scratching the roof panel. Using a
slow, back-and-forth sweeping motion, and allowing
13 millimeters (0.50 inch) between passes, move the
tool at least 11 centimeters (4 inches) to each side of
the roof center line, and 28 centimeters (11 inches)
back from the windshield header.
(10) With the degaussing tool still energized,
slowly back it away from the roof panel. When the
tip of the tool is at least 61 centimeters (2 feet) from
the roof panel, disconnect the tool.
(11) Calibrate the compass and adjust the compass
variance (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD
CONSOLE - STANDARD PROCEDURE).

STANDARD PROCEDURE - COMPASS
VARIATION ADJUSTMENT
Compass variance, also known as magnetic declination, is the difference in angle between magnetic
north and true geographic north. In some geographic
locations, the difference between magnetic and geographic north is great enough to cause the compass
to give false readings. If this problem occurs, the
compass variance setting may need to be changed.
To set the compass variance:
(1) Using the Variance Settings map, find your
geographic location and note the zone number (Fig.
2).
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position. If
the compass/thermometer data is not currently being
displayed, momentarily depress and release the C/T
push button to reach the compass/thermometer display.

ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFO
CENTER
DESCRIPTION
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
is a module located in the overhead console on some
models. The EVIC module features a large Vacuum
Fluorescent Display (VFD) screen for displaying
information, and back-lit push button switches
labeled C/T (compass/thermometer), RESET, STEP,
and MENU.
The EVIC module contains a central processing
unit and interfaces with other electronic modules in
the vehicle over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) J1850 data bus circuit. The PCI data
bus circuit allows the sharing of sensor information.
This helps to reduce wire harness complexity, reduce
internal controller hardware, and reduce component
sensor current loads. At the same time, this system
provides increased reliability, enhanced diagnostics,
and allows the addition of many new feature capabilities.
The EVIC “Menu” push button provides the vehicle
operator with a user interface, which allows the
selection of several optional customer programmable
electronic features to suit individual preferences.
Refer to ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER PROGRAMMING in the Service
Procedures section of this group for more information
on the customer programmable feature options.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional universal transmitter transceiver, the EVIC will also display messages and an icon indicating when the
universal transmitter transceiver is being trained,
which of the three transmitter buttons is transmitting, and when the transceiver is cleared.
Data input for all EVIC functions, including VFD
dimming level, is received through the J1850 PCI
data bus circuit. The EVIC module uses its internal
programming and all of its data inputs to calculate
and display the requested data. If the data displayed
is incorrect, perform the self-diagnostic tests as
described in this group. If these tests prove inconclusive, the use of a DRBIIIt scan tool and the proper
Diagnostic Procedures manual are recommended for
further testing of the EVIC module and the J1850
PCI data bus circuit.
The EVIC module cannot be repaired, and is available for service only as a unit. This unit includes the
plastic module and display lens. If any of these components is faulty or damaged, the complete EVIC
module must be replaced.
RS
OPERATION
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 module VFD
will return to the last function being displayed before
the ignition was turned to the Off position.
The compass/thermometer display is the normal
EVIC display. With the ignition switch in the On
position, momentarily depressing and releasing the
C/T (compass/thermometer) push button switch will
cause the EVIC to return to the compass/thermometer/trip computer display mode from any other mode.
While in the compass/thermometer/trip computer display mode, momentarily depressing and releasing the
Step push button will step through the available trip
computer display options.
The EVIC trip computer features several functions
that can be reset. The functions that can be reset
are: average fuel economy, trip odometer and elapsed
time. With the ignition switch in the On position and
with one of the functions of the trip computer that
can be reset currently displayed, depressing the
Reset push button twice within three seconds will
perform a global reset, and all of the trip computer
information that can be reset will be reset to zero.
With the ignition switch in the On position and the
function that is to be reset currently displayed,
momentarily depressing and releasing the Reset
push button once will perform a local reset, and only
the value of the displayed function will be reset to
zero. A global or local reset will only occur if the
function currently displayed is a function that can be
reset. The distance to service function can also be
reset using the local reset method, but it will reset
back to the Service Interval distance that is set in
the EVIC programmable features mode. Refer to
ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER PROGRAMMING in the Service Procedures
section of this group for more information on setting
the Service Interval.
For more information on the features, control functions and setting procedures for the EVIC module,
see the owner’s manual in the vehicle glove box.

UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER
DESCRIPTION
On some RS models a Universal Transmitter transceiver is standard factory-installed equipment. The
universal transmitter transceiver is integral to the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) and the
Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC), which is
located in the overhead console. The only visible component of the universal transmitter are the three
transmitter push buttons centered between the mod-
8M - 10
MESSAGE SYSTEMS
RS
UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER (Continued)
ules push buttons located just rearward of the display screen in the overhead console. The three
universal transmitter push buttons are identified
with one, two or three light indicators so that they be
easily identified by sight or by feel.
Each of the three universal transmitter push buttons controls an independent radio transmitter channel. Each of these three channels can be trained to
transmit a different radio frequency signal for the
remote operation of garage door openers, motorized
gate openers, home or office lighting, security systems or just about any other device that can be
equipped with a radio receiver in the 286 to 399
MegaHertz (MHz) frequency range for remote operation. The universal transmitter is capable of operating systems using either rolling code or non-rolling
code technology.
The electronics module displays messages and a
small house-shaped icon with one, two or three dots
corresponding to the three transmitter buttons to
indicate the status of the universal transmitter. The
EVIC messages are:
• Cleared Channels - Indicates that all of the
transmitter codes stored in the universal transmitter
have been successfully cleared.
• Training - Indicates that the universal transmitter is in its transmitter learning mode.
• Trained - Indicates that the universal transmitter has successfully acquired a new transmitter code.
• Transmit - Indicates that a trained universal
transmitter button has been depressed and that the
universal transmitter is transmitting.
The universal transmitter cannot be repaired, and
is available for service only as a unit with the EVIC
or CMTC modules. If any of these components is
faulty or damaged, the complete EVIC or CMTC
module must be replaced.
OPERATION
The universal transmitter operates on a nonswitched source of battery current so the unit will
remain functional, regardless of the ignition switch
position. For more information on the features, programming procedures and operation of the universal
transmitter, see the owner’s manual in the vehicle
glove box.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - UNIVERSAL
TRANSMITTER
If the universal transmitter is inoperative, but the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) or
Compass Mini-Trip Computer is operating normally,
see the owner’s manual in the vehicle glove box for
instructions on training the universal transmitter.
Retrain the universal transmitter with a known good
transmitter as instructed in the owner’s manual and
test the universal transmitter operation again. If the
unit is still inoperative, replace the faulty universal
transmitter and EVIC/CMTC module as a unit. If
both the universal transmitter and the EVIC/CMTC
module are inoperative, refer to Overhead Console
Diagnosis and Testing earlier in this group for further diagnosis. For complete circuit diagrams, refer
to Overhead Console in Wiring Diagrams.
AMBIENT TEMP SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
Ambient air temperature is monitored by the overhead console through ambient temperature messages
received from the Front Control Module (FCM) over
the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI)
J1850 data bus circuit. The FCM receives a hard
wired input from the ambient temperature sensor.
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable resistor mounted to a bracket that is secured with a screw
to the right side of the headlamp mounting module
grille opening, behind the radiator grille and in front
of the engine compartment.
Refer to Front Control Module in Electronic
Control Modules. For complete circuit diagrams, refer
to the appropriate wiring information. The ambient
temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable
resistor that operates on a five-volt reference signal
sent to it by the Front Control Module. The resistance in the sensor changes as temperature changes,
changing the temperature sensor signal circuit voltage to the Front Control Module. Based upon the
resistance in the sensor, the Front Control Module
senses a specific voltage on the temperature sensor
signal circuit, which it is programmed to correspond
to a specific temperature. The Front Control Module
then sends the proper ambient temperature messages to the EVIC, CMTC over the PCI J1850 data
bus.
The thermometer function is supported by the
ambient temperature sensor, a wiring circuit, the
Front Control Module, the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus, and a portion of the
Electronics module. If any portion of the ambient
temperature sensor circuit fails, the Front Control
Module will self-diagnose the circuit.
The ambient temperature sensor circuit can also be
diagnosed by referring to Diagnosis and Testing Ambient Temperature Sensor, and Diagnosis
and Testing - Ambient Temperature Sensor Circuit. If the temperature sensor and circuit are con-

SPEED CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
The speed control system is electronically controlled and vacuum operated. The electronic control
is integrated into the Powertrain Control Module.
The controls are located on the steering wheel. The
ON/OFF, and SET buttons are located on the left side
of the airbag module. The RESUME/ACCEL, CANCEL and COAST buttons are located on the right
side of the airbag module (Fig. 1).
The system is designed to operate at speeds above
30 mph (48 km/h).
WARNING: THE USE OF SPEED CONTROL IS NOT
RECOMMENDED WHEN DRIVING CONDITIONS DO
NOT PERMIT MAINTAINING A CONSTANT SPEED,
SUCH AS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR ON ROADS THAT
ARE WINDING, ICY, SNOW COVERED, OR SLIPPERY.
OPERATION
OPERATION
When speed control is activated by depressing the
ON switch, the PCM allows a set speed to be stored
in RAM for speed control. To store a set speed,
depress and release the SET switch while the vehicle
is moving at a speed between 25 and 85 mph. In
order for the speed control to engage, the brakes cannot be applied, nor can the gear selector be indicating the transmission is in Park or Neutral. The speed
control can be disengaged manually by:
• Stepping on the brake pedal
• Depressing the OFF switch
• Depressing the CANCEL switch.
• Depressing the clutch pedal
• Operating in 1st or 2nd gear (autostick, if
equipped)
Fig. 1 SPEED CONTROL SWITCHES - Typical
8P - 2
SPEED CONTROL
RS
SPEED CONTROL (Continued)
NOTE: Turning the system off by depressing the
OFF switch or turning off the ignition switch will
erase the set speed stored in the PCM.
For added safety, the speed control system is programmed to disengage for any of the following conditions:
• An indication of Park or Neutral
• A rapid increase rpm (indicates that the clutch
has been disengaged)
• Excessive engine rpm (indicates that the transmission may be in a low gear)
• The speed signal increases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (indicates that the co-efficient of friction
between the road surface and tires is extremely low)
• The speed signal decreases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (indicates that the vehicle may have
decelerated at an extremely high rate)
• If the actual speed is greater than 20 mph over
the set speed.
• Autostick shifts into 1st or 2nd gear (autostick,
if equipped)
Once the speed control has been disengaged,
depressing the RESUME switch when speed is
greater than 20 mph allows the vehicle to resume
control to the target speed that was stored in the
PCM.
While the speed control is engaged, the driver can
increase the vehicle speed by depressing the ACCEL
switch. The new target speed is stored in the PCM
when the ACCEL switch is released. The PCM also
has a 9tap-up9 feature in which target speed
increases by 2 mph for each momentary switch activation of the ACCEL switch. The PCM also provides
a means to decelerate to a new lower target speed
without disengaging speed control. Depress and hold
the COAST switch until the desired speed is reached,
then release the switch.
The PCM also has a “Tap Down” feature in which
target speed decreases at 1 mph for each momentary
switch activation of the coast switch.
OPERATION - INTERACTIVE SPEED CONTROL
(4 Speed EATX Only)
Interactive means that communication between the
PCM and the TCM is taking place. Interactive speed
control avoids unnecessary shifting for smoother, quieter operation and when downshifts are required,
makes the shifts smoother.
CLIMBING A GRADE
DESCRIPTION
When climbing a grade the interactive speed control tries to maintain the set speed by increasing the
throttle opening, while inhibiting/delaying downshifts.
OPERATION
If opening the throttle alone cannot maintain the
set speed and the vehicle speed drops more than
three mph below the set speed, the transmission will
downshift to third gear. If the vehicle continues to
lose speed, by more than 6 mph, the transmission
will downshift again to maintain the set speed. After
the vehicle encounters a less-steep grade, or has
crested the grade (reduced the load on the powertrain) and can maintain the set speed at a reduced
throttle position, the transmission will upshift, as
appropriate, until the set speed can be maintained in
Overdrive.
GRADE HUNTING
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles equipped with a four speed automatic
transmission have a grade hunting feature for the
2nd to 3rd gear upshift and the 3rd to Overdrive
upshift.
OPERATION
The TCM identifies the powertrain loading conditions and selects the proper gear to maintain the current vehicle speed. Under moderate loading
conditions the transaxle will stay in 3rd gear until
the top of the grade is reached or the powertrain
loading is reduced.
If powertrain loading is severe, the transaxle may
shift into 2nd gear and remain there until powertrain loading is reduced, then a 2nd to 3rd gear
upshift will be scheduled. Grade hunting features
always operate regardless of whether or not the
interactive speed control is engaged. If the interactive speed control is not engaged and powertrain loading is not reduced, the driver may
have to completely lift off of the throttle before
an upshift will occur. If the driver does lift off the
throttle to induce an upshift under these conditions,
vehicle speed will reduce and the Overdrive to 3rd
and 3rd to 2nd gear downshifts will reoccur when the
throttle is reapplied. If grade hunting is repeatedly
induced by the driver, transaxle damage may result.
AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROL OVERSPEED
REDUCTION
DESCRIPTION
Transmission control software includes an automatic speed control overspeed reduction feature. This
maintains vehicle speed at the selected set point
when descending a grade.
SPEED CONTROL
RS
8P - 3
SPEED CONTROL (Continued)
OPERATION
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) first
senses that the speed control is set. If the set speed
is exceeded by more than 4 mph (6.5 km/hr) and the
throttle is closed, the TCM causes the transaxle to
downshift to THIRD gear. After downshifting, the
automatic speed control resumes normal operation.
To ensure that an upshift is appropriate after the set
speed is reached, the TCM waits until the speed control system opens the throttle at least 6 degrees
before upshifting to OVERDRIVE again.
If the driver applies the brakes, canceling automatic speed control operation with the transaxle still
in THIRD gear, the TCM maintains this gear until
the driver opens the throttle at least 6 degrees to
avoid an inappropriate upshift. The upshift is also
delayed for 2.5 seconds after reaching the 6 degrees
throttle opening in anticipation that the driver might
open the throttle enough to require THIRD gear.
This will avoid unnecessary and disturbing transmission cycling. If the automatic speed control RESUME
feature is used after braking, the upshift is delayed
until the set speed is achieved to reduce cycling and
provide better response.
tem. The cause of any speedometer problems should
be corrected before proceeding. Refer to the Instrument Cluster for speedometer diagnosis.
If a road test verifies an inoperative system, and
the speedometer operates properly, check for:
• A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). If a DTC
exists, conduct tests per the Powertrain Diagnostic
Procedures manual.
• A misadjusted brake (stop) lamp switch. This
could also cause an intermittent problem.
• Loose or corroded electrical connections at the
servo. Corrosion should be removed from electrical
terminals and a light coating of Mopar Multipurpose
Grease, or equivalent, applied.
• Leaking vacuum reservoir.
• Loose or leaking vacuum hoses or connections.
• Defective one-way vacuum check valve.
• Secure attachment at both ends of the speed
control servo cable.
• Smooth operation of throttle linkage and throttle
body air valve.
• Conduct electrical test at PCM.
• Failed speed control servo. Do the servo vacuum
test.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ROAD TEST
CAUTION: When test probing for voltage or continuity at electrical connectors, care must be taken
not to damage connector, terminals or seals. If
these components are damaged, intermittent or
complete system failure may occur.
Perform a vehicle road test to verify reports of
speed control system malfunction. The road test
should include attention to the speedometer. Speedometer operation should be smooth and without flutter at all speeds.
Flutter in the speedometer indicates a problem
which might cause surging in the speed control sys-

RS
OPERATION
The PCM controls the solenoid valve body. The
solenoid valve body controls the application and
release of vacuum to the diaphragm of the vacuum
servo. The servo unit cannot be repaired and is serviced only as a complete assembly.
Power is supplied to the servo by the PCM through
the brake switch. The PCM controls the ground path
for the vacuum and vent solenoids.
The dump solenoid is energized anytime it receives
power. If power to the dump solenoid is interrupted, the
solenoid dumps vacuum in the servo. This provides a
safety backup to the vent and vacuum solenoids.
The vacuum and vent solenoids must be grounded by
the PCM to operate. When the PCM grounds the vacuum servo solenoid, the solenoid allows vacuum to enter
the servo and pull open the throttle plate using the
cable. When the PCM breaks the ground, the solenoid
closes and no more vacuum is allowed to enter the
servo. The PCM also operates the vent solenoid via
ground. The vent solenoid opens and closes a passage to
bleed or hold vacuum in the servo as required.
The PCM cycles the vacuum and vent solenoids to
maintain the set speed, or to accelerate and decelerate the vehicle. To increase throttle opening, the
PCM grounds the vacuum and vent solenoids. To
decrease throttle opening, the PCM removes the
grounds from the vacuum and vent solenoids.

DESCRIPTION
There are two separate switch pods that operate
the speed control system and are located on the
steering wheel.
OPERATION
Fig. 3 BATTERY TRAY/VACUUM RESERVOIR
(7) Remove speed control servo and bracket (Fig.
4).
The speed control system has five separate resistive switches that provide a single multiplexed
(MUX) voltage inputs to the PCM.The switch names
are: ON, OFF, SET, COAST, RESUME, ACCEL, TAPUP, COAST, and CANCEL. Based on conditions when
the buttons are pushed (and released), the five voltages ranges provided to the PCM result in the following functions: ON, OFF, SET, COAST, RESUME,
ACCEL, TAP-UP, TAP-DOWN, COAST, and CANCEL. Refer to the Speed Control Section for more
information
Also the PCM receives an input from the brake
switch to sense whether the brake pedal has been
depressed. When the PCM receives the brake
depressed input, it turns off power to the speed control servo and disengages speed control. Also the
power to the servo is supplied through the brake
switch, which opens the circuit when the brake pedal
is depressed.
The individual switches cannot be repaired. If one
switch fails, the entire switch module must be
replaced.

VACUUM RESERVOIR
DESCRIPTION
The vacuum reservoir is located in the engine compartment. It is made of plastic.
OPERATION
The reservoir stores engine vacuum. Manifold vacuum is supplied from the brake booster check valve.
The speed control vacuum supply hose has a check
valve at the source (brake booster) to maintain the
highest available vacuum level in the servo, reservoir
and vacuum hoses. When engine vacuum drops, as in
climbing a grade while driving, the reservoir supplies
the vacuum needed to maintain proper speed control
operation. The vacuum reservoir cannot be repaired
and must be replaced if faulty.

DESCRIPTION - FLEXIBLE FUEL ENGINE OIL
The information in this section is for Flexible Fuel
Vehicles (FFV) only. These vehicles can be identified
by the unique Fuel Filler Door Label that states
Ethanol (E-85) or Unleaded Gasoline Only. This section only covers those subjects that are unique to
these vehicles. Please refer to the other sections of
this manual for information on features that are
common between Flexible Fuel and gasoline only
powered vehicles.
ETHANOL FUEL (E-85)
E-85 is a mixture of approximately 85% fuel ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline.

FLUID TYPES (Continued)
WARNING: Ethanol vapors are extremely flammable
and could cause serious personal injury. Never
have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when removing the fuel filler tube cap (gas cap)
or filling the tank. Do not use E-85 as a cleaning
agent and never use it near an open flame.
DESCRIPTION - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FLUID
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: All transaxles have a common transmission
and differential sump. Filling the transaxle accommodates the differential as well.
The vehicle will operate on both unleaded gasoline
with an octane rating of 87, or E-85 fuel, or any mixture of these two.
For best results, a refueling pattern that alternates
between E-85 and unleaded gasoline should be
avoided. When you do switch fuels, it is recommended that
• you do not switch when the fuel gauge indicates
less than 1/4 full
• you do not add less than 5 gallons when refueling
• you operate the vehicle immediately after refueling for a period of at least 5 minutes
Observing these precautions will avoid possible
hard starting and/or significant deterioration in
driveability during warm up.
FFV STARTING
The characteristics of E-85 fuel make it unsuitable
for use when ambient temperatures fall below 0°F. In
the range of 0°F to 32°F, you may experience an
increase in the time it takes for your engine to start,
and a deterioration in driveability (sags and/or hesitations) until the engine is fully warmed up.
Engine Operating on E-85 Fuel
If vehicle operates on E-85 fuel either full or parttime, use only Mopart Flexible Fuel 5W-30 engine oil
or an equivalent that meets DaimlerChrysler Standard MS-9214. Equivalent commercial Flexible Fuel
engine oils may be labeled as Multi-Fuel, Variable
Fuel, Flexible Fuel, etc. These engine oils may be
satisfactory if they meet the DaimlerChrysler Standard.
SAE 5W-30 engine oil is preferred for use in Flexible Fuel engines.
CAUTION: If Flexible Fuel engine oil is not used
when using E-85 fuel, engine wear or damage may
result.
CRUISING RANGE
Because E-85 fuel contains less energy per gallon
than gasoline, you will experience an increase in fuel
consumption. You can expect your MPG and your
driving range to decrease by about 30% compared to
gasoline operation.
NOTE: Refer to the maintenance schedules for the
recommended maintenance (fluid/filter change)
intervals for this transaxle.
TRANSMISSION FLUID
Mopart ATF+4 (Automatic Transmission FluidType 9602) is required in the 41TE automatic and
T850 manual transaxles. Substitute fluids can induce
torque converter clutch shudder.
Mopart ATF+4 (Automatic Transmission FluidType 9602) when new is red in color. The ATF is dyed
red so it can be identified from other fluids used in
the vehicle such as engine oil or antifreeze. The red
color is not permanent and is not an indicator of fluid
condition. As the vehicle is driven, the ATF will begin
to look darker in color and may eventually become
brown. This is normal. ATF+4 also has a unique
odor that may change with age. Consequently, odor
and color cannot be used to indicate the fluid
condition or the need for a fluid change.
FLUID ADDITIVES
DaimlerChrysler strongly recommends against the
addition of any fluids to the transmission, other than
those automatic transmission fluids listed above.
Exceptions to this policy are the use of special dyes
to aid in detecting fluid leaks.
Various “special” additives and supplements exist
that claim to improve shift feel and/or quality. These
additives and others also claim to improve converter
clutch operation and inhibit overheating, oxidation,
varnish, and sludge. These claims have not been supported to the satisfaction of DaimlerChrysler and
these additives must not be used. The use of transmission “sealers” should also be avoided, since they
may adversely affect the integrity of transmission
seals.
DESCRIPTION - FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Your engine is designed to meet all emissions regulations and provide excellent fuel economy and performance when using high quality unleaded gasoline
having an octane rating of 87. The use of premium
gasoline is not recommended. The use of premium
gasoline will provide no benefit over high quality regular gasoline, and in some circumstances may result
in poorer performance.

FLUID TYPES (Continued)
Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not
harmful to your engine. However, continued heavy
spark knock at high speeds can cause damage and
immediate service is required. Engine damage resulting from operation with a heavy spark knock may
not be covered by the new vehicle warranty.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such as
hard starting, stalling and hesitations. If you experience these symptoms, try another brand of gasoline
before considering service for the vehicle.
Over 40 auto manufacturers world-wide have
issued and endorsed consistent gasoline specifications
(the Worldwide Fuel Charter, WWFC) to define fuel
properties necessary to deliver enhanced emissions,
performance and durability for your vehicle. We recommend the use of gasolines that meet the WWFC
specifications if they are available.
REFORMULATED GASOLINE
Many areas of the country require the use of
cleaner burning gasoline referred to as “reformulated” gasoline. Reformulated gasoline contain oxygenates, and are specifically blended to reduce vehicle
emissions and improve air quality.
We strongly support the use of reformulated gasoline. Properly blended reformulated gasoline will provide excellent performance and durability for the
engine and fuel system components.
GASOLINE/OXYGENATE BLENDS
levels higher than allowed in the United States.
MMT is prohibited in Federal and California reformulated gasoline.
SULFUR IN GASOLINE
If you live in the northeast United States, your
vehicle may have been designed to meet California
low emission standards with Cleaner-Burning California reformulated gasoline with low sulfur. If such
fuels are not available in states adopting California
emission standards, your vehicles will operate satisfactorily on fuels meeting federal specifications, but
emission control system performance may be
adversely affected. Gasoline sold outside of California
is permitted to have higher sulfur levels which may
affect the performance of the vehicle’s catalytic converter. This may cause the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL), Check Engine or Service Engine Soon
light to illuminate. We recommend that you try a different brand of unleaded gasoline having lower sulfur
to determine if the problem is fuel related prior to
returning your vehicle to an authorized dealer for
service.
CAUTION: If the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL),
Check Engine or Service Engine Soon light is flashing, immediate service is required; see on-board
diagnostics system section.
MATERIALS ADDED TO FUEL
Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with
oxygenates such as 10% ethanol, MTBE, and ETBE.
Oxygenates are required in some areas of the country
during the winter months to reduce carbon monoxide
emissions. Fuels blended with these oxygenates may
be used in your vehicle.
All gasoline sold in the United States and Canada
are required to contain effective detergent additives.
Use of additional detergents or other additives is not
needed under normal conditions.
CAUTION: DO NOT use gasoline containing METHANOL. Gasoline containing methanol may damage
critical fuel system components.
CAUTION: Follow these guidelines to maintain your
vehicle’s performance:
MMT IN GASOLINE
MMT is a manganese-containing metallic additive
that is blended into some gasoline to increase octane.
Gasoline blended with MMT provide no performance
advantage beyond gasoline of the same octane number without MMT. Gasoline blended with MMT
reduce spark plug life and reduce emission system
performance in some vehicles. We recommend that
gasoline free of MMT be used in your vehicle. The
MMT content of gasoline may not be indicated on the
gasoline pump; therefore, you should ask your gasoline retailer whether or not his/her gasoline contains
MMT.
It is even more important to look for gasoline without MMT in Canada because MMT can be used at
FUEL SYSTEM CAUTIONS
• The use of leaded gas is prohibited by Federal
law. Using leaded gasoline can impair engine performance, damage the emission control system, and
could result in loss of warranty coverage.
• An out-of-tune engine, or certain fuel or ignition
malfunctions, can cause the catalytic converter to
overheat. If you notice a pungent burning odor or
some light smoke, your engine may be out of tune or
malfunctioning and may require immediate service.
Contact your dealer for service assistance.
• When pulling a heavy load or driving a fully
loaded vehicle when the humidity is low and the temperature is high, use a premium unleaded fuel to
help prevent spark knock. If spark knock persists,
lighten the load, or engine piston damage may result.

• The use of fuel additives which are now being
sold as octane enhancers is not recommended. Most
of these products contain high concentrations of
methanol. Fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems resulting from the use of such fuels
or
additives
is
not

responsibility
of
DaimlerChrysler Corporation and may not be covered

DESCRIPTION - FUEL REQUIREMENTS DIESEL ENGINE
WARNING: DO NOT USE ALCOHOL OR GASOLINE
AS A FUEL BLENDING AGENT. THEY CAN BE
UNSTABLE UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS AND
HAZARDOUS OR EXPLOSIVE WHEN MIXED WITH
DIESEL FUEL.
Use good quality diesel fuel from a reputable supplier. For most year-round service, number 2 diesel
fuel meeting ASTM specification D-975 will provide
good performance. If the vehicle is exposed to
extreme cold (below -18°C/0°F) or is required to operate at colder than normal conditions for prolonged
periods, use climatize No. 2 diesel fuel or dilute the
No. 2 diesel fuel with 50% No. 1 diesel fuel. This will
provide better protection from fuel gelling or wax
plugging of the fuel filters.
Diesel fuel is seldom completely free of water. To
prevent fuel system trouble, including fuel line freezing in winter, drain the accumulated water from the
fuel/water separator using the fuel/water separator
drain provided. If you buy good quality fuel and follow the cold weather advice above, fuel conditioners
should not be required in your vehicle. If available in
your area, a high cetane “premium” diesel fuel may
offer improved cold starting and warm up performance.
DESCRIPTION - ENGINE OIL - DIESEL
ENGINES
Use only Diesel Engine Oil meeting standard MIL2104C or API Classification CD or higher or CCML

BRAKES - BASE
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - BASE BRAKES
The base brake system consists of the following
components:
• Brake pedal
• Power brake booster
• Master cylinder
• Brake tubes and hoses
• Proportioning valve (non-ABS vehicles only)
• Disc brakes
• Drum brakes
• Brake lamp switch
• Brake fluid level switch
• Parking brakes
Front disc brakes control the braking of the front
wheels; rear braking is controlled by rear drum
brakes or rear disc brakes depending on options.
The hydraulic brake system is diagonally split on
both the non-antilock braking systems and antilock
braking systems. That means the left front and right
rear brakes are on one hydraulic circuit and the right
front and left rear are on the other.
For information on the brake lamp switch, (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR/BRAKE LAMP SWITCH - DESCRIPTION)
Vehicles equipped with the optional antilock brake
system (ABS) use a system designated Mark 20e. It
is available with or without traction control. This
system shares most base brake hardware used on
vehicles without ABS. ABS components are described
in detail in ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM.
DESCRIPTION - BASE BRAKES (EXPORT)
Four-Wheel Disc Antilock Brakes are standard on
all models.
OPERATION - BASE BRAKES
When a vehicle needs to be stopped, the driver
applies the brake pedal. The brake pedal pushes the
input rod of the power brake booster into the booster.
The booster uses vacuum to ease pedal effort as force
is transferred through the booster to the master cylinder. The booster’s output rod pushes in the master
cylinder’s primary and secondary pistons applying
hydraulic pressure through the chassis brake tubes
to the brakes at each tire and wheel assembly.
The parking brakes are foot-operated. When
applied, the parking brake lever pulls on cables that
actuate brake shoes at each rear wheel. These shoes

STANDARD PROCEDURE - BASE BRAKE
BLEEDING
NOTE: This bleeding procedure is only for the vehicle’s base brakes hydraulic system. For bleeding
the antilock brakes hydraulic system, (Refer to 5 BRAKES - ABS - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
CAUTION: Before removing the master cylinder
cover, thoroughly clean the cover and master cylinder fluid reservoir to prevent dirt and other foreign
matter from dropping into the master cylinder fluid
reservoir.
5-8
BRAKES - BASE
RS
BRAKES - BASE (Continued)
NOTE: The following wheel sequence should be
used when bleeding the brake hydraulic system.
The use of this wheel sequence will ensure adequate removal of all trapped air from the brake
hydraulic system.
•
•
•
•
Left Rear Wheel
Right Front Wheel
Right Rear Wheel
Left Front Wheel
NOTE: When bleeding the brake system, some air
may be trapped in the brake lines or valves far
upstream, as much as ten feet from the bleeder
screw (Fig. 2). Therefore, it is essential to have a
fast flow of a large volume of brake fluid when
bleeding the brakes to ensure all the air gets out.
CAUTION: “Just cracking” the bleeder screw often
restricts fluid flow, allowing only a slow, weak fluid
discharge of fluid. This practice will NOT get all the
air out. Make sure the bleeder is opened at least 1
full turn when bleeding.
(3) Release the brake pedal only after the bleeder
screw is closed.
(4) Repeat steps 1 through 3, four or five times, at
each bleeder screw in the proper sequence. This
should pass a sufficient amount of fluid to expel all
the trapped air from the brake system. Be sure to
monitor the fluid level in the master cylinder, so it
stays at a proper level so air will not enter the brake
system through the master cylinder.
(5) Check pedal travel. If pedal travel is excessive
or has not been improved, enough fluid has not
passed through the system to expel all the trapped
air. Continue to bleed system as necessary.
(6) Perform a final adjustment of the rear brake
shoes (when applicable), then test drive vehicle to be
sure brakes are operating correctly and that pedal is
solid.
PRESSURE BLEEDING PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Use bleeder tank Special Tool C-3496-B
or equivalent with Adapter, Special Tool 6921, to
pressurize the hydraulic system for bleeding.
Fig. 2 Trapped Air In Brake Fluid Line
1 - TRAPPED AIR
The brakes may be manually bled or pressure bled.
Refer to the appropriate following procedure.
MANUAL BLEEDING PROCEDURE
NOTE: Correct manual bleeding of the brakes
hydraulic system will require the aid of a helper.
Follow pressure bleeder manufacturer’s instructions for use of pressure bleeding equipment.
(1) Install the Adapter Master Cylinder Pressure
Bleed Cap, Special Tool 6921 on the fluid reservoir of
the master cylinder (Fig. 3). Attach the fluid hose
from the pressure bleeder to the fitting on Special
Tool 6921.
(2) Attach a clear plastic hose to the bleeder screw
at one wheel and feed the hose into a clear jar containing fresh brake fluid.
(3) Open the left rear wheel bleeder screw at least
one full turn or more to obtain an adequate flow of
brake fluid.
NOTE: To adequately bleed the brakes using the
manual bleeding procedure the rear brakes must be
correctly adjusted. Prior to the manual bleeding of
the brake hydraulic system, correctly adjust the
rear brakes.
CAUTION: “Just cracking” the bleeder screw often
restricts fluid flow, allowing only a slow, weak fluid
discharge of fluid. This practice will NOT get all the
air out. Make sure the bleeder is opened at least 1
full turn when bleeding.
(1) Pump the brake pedal three or four times and
hold it down before the bleeder screw is opened.
(2) Push the brake pedal toward the floor and hold
it down. Then open the left rear bleeder screw at
least 1 full turn. When the bleeder screw opens the
brake pedal will drop all the way to the floor.
(4) After 4 to 8 ounces of brake fluid has been bled
through the hydraulic system, and an air-free flow is
maintained in the hose and jar, this will indicate a
good bleed of the hydraulic system has been
obtained.
(5) Repeat the procedure at all the other remaining bleeder screws.

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SWITCH
Tubes, Master Cylinder Bleed 8358
DESCRIPTION
The brake fluid level switch is located in the brake
fluid reservoir of the master cylinder (Fig. 4).
OPERATION
Adapter, Master Cylinder Pressure Bleed Cap 6921
Dial Indicator, C-3339
The purpose of the brake fluid level switch is to
provide the driver with an early warning that the
brake fluid level in the master cylinder fluid reservoir has dropped below a normal level. This may
indicate:
• Abnormal loss of brake fluid in the master cylinder fluid reservoir resulting from a leak in the
hydraulic system.
• Brake shoe linings which have worn to a point
requiring replacement.
As the brake fluid drops below the minimum level,
the brake fluid level switch closes to complete the red
BRAKE warning indicator (lamp) circuit. This will
turn on the red BRAKE warning indicator. The master cylinder fluid reservoir should be checked and
refilled to the Full mark with DOT 3 brake fluid. If
the brake fluid level has dropped below the add
line in the master cylinder fluid reservoir, the
entire brake hydraulic system should be
checked for evidence of a leak.
REMOVAL
Gauge, Brake Safe-Set
(1) Remove wiring harness connector from brake
fluid reservoir level switch (Fig. 4).
(2) Using fingers, compress the retaining tabs on
the opposite end of brake fluid level switch.
(3) With retaining tabs compressed, grasp the connector end of brake fluid level switch and pull it out
of master cylinder brake fluid reservoir.
INSTALLATION
Handle, Universal C–4171
(1) Insert brake fluid level switch into left side of
brake fluid reservoir. Be sure switch is pushed in
until retaining tabs lock it to brake fluid reservoir.
(2) Connect vehicle wiring harness connector to

DESCRIPTION - DISC BRAKES (FRONT)
Each front disc brake consists of the following components:
• Brake Rotor
• Brake Caliper
• Brake Caliper Adapter
• Shoes (Pads)
There are two non-interchangeable front disc brake
systems depending on whether the vehicle is
equipped with rear drum or rear disc brakes. Vehicles with the front disc/rear drum brake combination
utilize a system manufactured by TRW. Vehicles with
front disc/rear disc brakes utilize a system manufactured by Continental Teves.

CAUTION: Components used on the disc/drum
combination brakes are not interchangeable with
the disc/disc combination brakes. The two different
systems must not be mixed. Improper performance,
noise and increased stopping distance can occur.
The TRW front brake caliper is a one piece casting
containing a single 64 mm diameter piston bore (Fig.
13) with a phenolic piston. The caliper mounts to a
caliper adapter using two guide pin bolts that thread
into guide pins slid into the caliper adapter (Fig. 14).
The pins are lubricated and have boots that seal
them in place in the adapter.
The Continental Teves front brake caliper is a one
piece casting containing a single piston 66 mm diameter bore (Fig. 13) with a phenolic piston. The caliper
mounts to a caliper adapter using two guide pin bolts
that thread into the caliper adapter and slide on
bushings mounted in the caliper.
CAUTION: TRW and Continental Teves calipers are
not interchangeable. Each caliper is specifically
designed for the unique brake system. If calipers
are interchanged, improper performance, noise and
increased stopping distance can occur.
The two different brake calipers use different
devices to control rattling. While the TRW brakes use
spring clips that mount at the ends of the shoes in
the adapters, Continental Teves brakes use a clip on
the rear of the inboard pad to hold it to the piston

and a larger clip on the outside of the caliper, holding
it to the adapter (Fig. 15).
All brake caliper adapters mount to the steering
knuckle in the same way using two mounting bolts.
The brake rotors are also different depending on
brake system. The TRW (disc/drum) front brakes utilize an inverted-hat style rotor. This rotor is externally vented meaning the inner most diameter of the
braking disc vents to the outboard side (or face) of
the rotor (Fig. 16). The Continental Teves (disc/disc)

This vehicle is equipped with a caliper having a 42
mm (1.65 in.) piston and uses a 15 inch solid nonvented brake rotor. The brake rotor is described as a
drum-in-hat style because of its dual role as a braking disc and parking brake drum.
The parking brake system on vehicles equipped
with rear disc brakes consists of a small duo-servo
drum brake mounted to the caliper adapter and uses
the interior of the rear disc brake rotor as a drum
(hat section of drum-in-hat style brake rotor).
The outboard rear disc brake shoes (pads) are sideoriented. The shoes are marked indicating which side
they belong on.

All vehicles are equipped with Four-Wheel-Disc
brakes. Both 15” (BRE) and 16” (BR3) disc/disc brake
systems are available. The disc brakes are manufactured by Continental Teves. The BR3 system is standard equipment on all-wheel drive and all right-hand
drive models. It is optional on other models.
The BR3 system features larger, externally vented
front brake rotors.
Although there are different disc/disc systems, they
are serviced using the same service procedures. Some

DESCRIPTION - DRUM BRAKES (REAR)
This vehicle’s rear wheel drum brakes are a twoshoe, internal-expanding type with an automatic
adjuster screw. The automatic adjuster screw is
located directly below the wheel cylinder that is
mounted near the top of the brake assembly (Fig.
18). These and two brake shoes (and attaching parts)
are mounted to a support plate at each rear wheel. A
brake drum covers each brake assembly.

OPERATION
OPERATION - DISC BRAKES (FRONT)
When the brakes are applied, fluid pressure is sent
to each brake caliper. The pressure at the caliper is
exerted equally against the caliper piston. The pressure applied to the piston is transmitted directly to
the inboard brake shoe. This forces the shoe lining
against the inner surface of the brake rotor. At the
same time, fluid pressure within the caliper piston
bore forces the caliper to slide inward on its guide
pins. This action brings the outboard shoe lining into
contact with the outer surface of the brake rotor.
This pressure on both sides of the brake rotor causes
friction, bringing the vehicle to a stop.
When the brake pedal is released, so is the fluid
pressure. The piston seal inside the caliper is
designed to pull the piston back into the bore of the
caliper when the brake pedal is released (Fig. 19).
This action helps maintain the proper brake shoe-torotor clearance.
As disc brake shoe linings wear, master cylinder
reservoir brake fluid level will drop. Adjust as neces-
The rear disc brakes operate similarly to front disc
brakes, however, there are some features that require
different service procedures.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - DRUM BRAKE
AUTOMATIC ADJUSTER
The rear drum brakes on this vehicle automatically
adjust when required during the normal operation of
the vehicle every time the brakes are applied. Use
the following procedure to test the operation of the
automatic adjuster.
Place the vehicle on a hoist with a helper in the
driver’s seat to apply the brakes. Remove the access
plug from the adjustment hole in each brake support
plate to provide visual access of the brake adjuster
star wheel.
To eliminate the condition where maximum adjustment of the rear brake shoes does not allow the automatic adjuster to operate when tested, back the star
wheel off approximately 30 notches. It will be necessary to hold the adjuster lever away from the star
wheel to permit this adjustment.
Have the helper apply the brakes. Upon application of the brake pedal, the adjuster lever should
move down, turning the adjuster star wheel. Thus, a
definite rotation of the adjuster star wheel can be
observed if the automatic adjuster is working properly. If one or more adjusters do not function properly, the respective drum must be removed for
adjuster servicing.

BRAKE LINES
DESCRIPTION - BRAKE TUBES AND HOSES
The brake tubes are steel with a corrosion-resistant nylon coating applied to the external surfaces.
The flex hoses are made of reinforced rubber with fittings at each end.
The primary and secondary brake tubes leading
from the master cylinder to the ABS ICU Hydraulic
Control Unit (HCU) or the non-ABS junction block
have a special flexible section. This flexible section is
required due to cradle movement while the vehicle is
in motion (The ICU and non-ABS junction block are
mounted to the cradle). If replacement of these
lines is necessary, only the original factory
brake line containing the flexible section must
be used.
OPERATION - BRAKE TUBES AND HOSES
The purpose of the chassis brake tubes and flex
hoses is to transfer the pressurized brake fluid developed by the master cylinder to the wheel brakes of
the vehicle. The flex hoses are made of rubber to
allow for the movement of the vehicle’s suspension.

(7) Using wire or cord, hang the caliper from the
front strut assembly (Fig. 20). Support the caliper
firmly to prevent weight of caliper from being supported by the brake fluid hose.
INSPECTION - BRAKE TUBES AND HOSES
Flexible rubber hose is used at both front brakes
and at the rear axle. Inspection of brake hoses
should be performed whenever the brake system is
serviced and every 7,500 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first (every engine oil change). Inspect
hydraulic brake hoses for surface cracking, scuffing,
or worn spots. If the fabric casing of the rubber hose
becomes exposed due to cracks or abrasions in the
rubber hose cover, the hose should be replaced immediately. Eventual deterioration of the hose can take
place with possible burst failure. Faulty installation
can cause twisting, resulting in wheel, tire, or chassis
interference.
The brake tubing should be inspected periodically
for evidence of physical damage or contact with moving or hot components.
The flexible brake tube sections used on this vehicle in the primary and secondary tubes from the
master cylinder to the ABS hydraulic control unit
connections must also be inspected. This flexible tubing must be inspected for kinks, fraying and contact
with other components or with the body of the vehicle.

FLUID
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BRAKE FLUID
CONTAMINATION
Indications of fluid contamination are swollen or
deteriorated rubber parts.
Swollen rubber parts indicate the presence of
petroleum in the brake fluid.
To test for contamination, put a small amount of
drained brake fluid in clear glass jar. If fluid separates into layers, there is mineral oil or other fluid
contamination of the brake fluid.
If brake fluid is contaminated, drain and thoroughly flush system. Replace master cylinder, proportioning valve, caliper seals, wheel cylinder seals,
Antilock Brake hydraulic unit and all hydraulic fluid
hoses.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL CHECKING
Check master cylinder reservoir fluid level a minimum of twice annually.
Fluid reservoirs are marked with the words FULL
and ADD to indicate proper brake fluid fill level of
the master cylinder.
If necessary, add brake fluid to bring the level to
the bottom of the FULL mark on the side of the master cylinder fluid reservoir.
Use only Mopart brake fluid or equivalent from a
sealed container. Brake fluid must conform to DOT 3
specifications (DOT 4 or DOT 4+ are acceptable).
DO NOT use brake fluid with a lower boiling
point, as brake failure could result during prolonged
hard braking.
Use only brake fluid that was stored in a tightlysealed container.
DO NOT use petroleum-based fluid because seal
damage will result. Petroleum based fluids would be
items such as engine oil, transmission fluid, power
steering fluid etc.
SPECIFICATIONS
BRAKE FLUID
The brake fluid used in this vehicle must conform
to DOT 3 specifications (DOT 4 and DOT 4+ are
acceptable) and SAE J1703 standards. No other type
of brake fluid is recommended or approved for usage
in the vehicle brake system. Use only Mopart Brake
Fluid or equivalent from a tightly sealed container.
CAUTION: Never use reclaimed brake fluid or fluid
from an container which has been left open. An
open container of brake fluid will absorb moisture
from the air and contaminate the fluid.

(d) Remove the screw securing the coolant filler
neck to the battery tray.
(e) Remove the battery tray (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/BATTERY SYSTEM/TRAY - REMOVAL).
(f) Remove the fasteners and move the speed
control servo off to the side, out of the way.
CAUTION: Never use any type of a petroleum-based
fluid in the brake hydraulic system. Use of such
type fluids will result in seal damage of the vehicle
brake hydraulic system causing a failure of the
vehicle brake system. Petroleum based fluids would
be items such as engine oil, transmission fluid,
power steering fluid, etc.
JUNCTION BLOCK
DESCRIPTION - NON-ABS JUNCTION BLOCK
A junction block is used on vehicles that are not
equipped with antilock brakes (ABS). The junction
block mounts in the same location as the integrated
control unit (ICU) does on vehicles equipped with
ABS. This allows for use of the same brake tube configuration on all vehicles. The junction block is
located on the driver’s side of the front suspension
cradle/crossmember below the master cylinder (Fig.
53).
It has six threaded ports to which the brake tubes
connect. Two are for the primary and secondary
brake tubes coming from the master cylinder. The
remaining four are for the chassis brake tubes going
to each brake assembly.
CAUTION: Before removing the brake tubes from
the junction block, the junction block and the brake
tubes must be thoroughly cleaned. This is required
to prevent contamination from entering the brake
hydraulic system.
(4) Remove the four chassis brake tubes from the
top of the junction block (Fig. 53).
OPERATION - NON-ABS JUNCTION BLOCK
The junction block distributes the brake fluid coming from the master cylinder primary and secondary
ports to the four chassis brake tubes leading to the
brakes at each wheel. Since the junction block
mounts in the same location as the ABS integrated
control unit (ICU), it allows for the common use of
brake tubes going to the brakes whether the vehicle
is equipped with or without ABS.
NOTE: Although the brake tubes coming from the
master cylinder to the junction block or ABS ICU
may appear to be the same, they are not. They are
unique to each brake system application.
REMOVAL - NON-ABS JUNCTION BLOCK
(1) Using a brake pedal depressor, move and lock
the brake pedal to a position past its first 1 inch of
travel. This will prevent brake fluid from draining
out of the master cylinder when the brake tubes are
removed from the junction block.
(2) Disconnect the battery negative cable.
(3) If the vehicle is equipped with speed control,
perform the following:
(a) Disconnect the battery positive cable.
(b) Remove the battery (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/BATTERY SYSTEM/BATTERY - REMOVAL).

DESCRIPTION
The master cylinder is located on the power brake
booster in the engine compartment on the driver’s
side (Fig. 54). This vehicle uses 3 different master
cylinders. Master cylinder usage depends on what
type of brake system the vehicle is equipped with.
CAUTION: Master cylinders are not interchangeable
between systems. Performance and stopping distance issues will result if the incorrect master cylinder is installed on the vehicle.
For information on master cylinder application,
bore and type, view the following table:
27.0 mm (1-1/16 in.) Dual

CAUTION: When replacing a master cylinder, be
sure to use the correct master cylinder for the type
of brake system the vehicle is equipped with.
The body of the master cylinder is an anodized aluminum casting. It has a machined bore to accept the
master cylinder pistons and threaded ports with
seats for the hydraulic brake line connections.
The brake fluid reservoir is mounted on the top of
the master cylinder. It is made of a see-through
polypropylene type plastic for easy fluid level viewing. A brake fluid level switch is attached to the
brake fluid reservoir.
The master cylinder is not a repairable component
and must be replaced if diagnosed to be functioning
improperly. The brake fluid reservoir and brake fluid
level switch can be replaced separately.

DESCRIPTION - RHD
The master cylinder used on right hand drive
(RHD) vehicles functions similarly to that used on
left hand drive (LHD) vehicles. The RHD master cylinder, as well as the RHD power brake booster, is
located in the same area, but lower in the engine
compartment than LHD models (Fig. 55). For that
reason an extension manifold is placed between the
fluid reservoir and master cylinder housing allowing
the fluid reservoir to be positioned in the same location as on LHD models.
(1) Clamp master cylinder in a vise.
NOTE: Use correct bleeder tubes when bleeding
master cylinder. Master cylinder outlet ports vary in
size and type depending on whether master cylinder is for a vehicle equipped with traction control or
not. Traction control equipped master cylinders
require the additional use of ISO style flare adapters supplied in Special Tool Package 8822 to be
used in conjunction with Bleeder Tubes, Special
Tool Package 8358.
(2) Attach special tools for bleeding master cylinder in the following fashion:
(a) For non-traction control equipped master cylinders, thread a Bleeder Tube, Special Tool
8358–1, into each outlet port. Tighten each tube to
17 N·m (145 in. lbs.) torque. Flex bleeder tubes and
place open ends into mouth of fluid reservoir as far
down as possible (Fig. 56).
(b) For traction control equipped master
cylinders, thread one Adapter, Special Tool
8822–2, in each outlet port. Tighten Adapters to 17
N·m (145 in. lbs.) torque. Next, thread a Bleeder
Tube, Special Tool 8358–1, into each Adapter.
Tighten each tube to 17 N·m (145 in. lbs.) torque.
Flex bleeder tubes and place open ends into mouth
of fluid reservoir as far down as possible (Fig. 56).

and seat position to the most comfortable position.
The effort required for pedal application will not
change regardless of pedal position.
The adjustable pedal system allows the pedals to
adjust up to 3 inches (75 mm) at a rate of approximately 0.4 in./sec. (9 mm/sec.). An adjustment switch
is located on the left side of the steering column
lower shroud.
If the vehicle is equipped with Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE), an optional memory feature is available.
The serviceable components of the APS are:
• Adjustable pedal assembly (includes motor,
cables, pedals, gear box, sensor and module)
• Adjustable pedal module (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
CONTROL
MODULES/
ADJUSTABLE PEDAL MODULE)
• Adjustable pedal switch
• Pedal position sensor
OPERATION
Change of pedal position is accomplished by means
of a motor driven screw. Operating the adjustable
pedal switch activates the pedal drive motor. The
pedal drive motor turns a screw that changes the
position of the accelerator pedal. The motor also
drives a cable connected to a gear box that changes
the brake pedal position the same distance as the
accelerator pedal. The pedals can be moved rearward
(closer to the driver) or forward (away from driver).
Each pedal is moved on its activating lever to a position where the driver feels most comfortable. The
position and operation of the activating levers are not
changed.
Pedal adjustment is inhibited when the vehicle is
in reverse or when cruise control is engaged. The
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will
display a message when the Adjustable Pedal Module
(APM) is disabled. i.e.: 9Adjustable Pedal Disabled Cruise Control Engaged9 or 9Adjustable Pedal Disabled - Vehicle in Reverse9.
Foot pressure or debris can stall pedal adjustment.
In order to avoid damage to system components dur-
BRAKES - BASE

PEDAL - ADJUSTABLE (Continued)
ing pedal adjustment, the APM will monitor pedal
position sensor voltage. If the APM does not detect
expected voltage change within 3 seconds, it will cut
power to the adjustable pedal motor.
An optional memory feature is available. This
allows storing of one or two preferred pedal positions
in the APS. A preferred position can be stored and
recalled using the door-mounted switches. A stored
pedal position can be recalled (but not stored) using
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) if equipped with
the memory feature.

All vehicles use a 270 mm single diaphragm vacuum power brake booster.
Vehicles equipped with Disc/Disc brakes use a different power brake booster than vehicles equipped
with Disc/Drum brakes. Differences between the two
are internal. Service is the same for all boosters.
The power brake booster can be identified by the
tag attached to the body of the booster (Fig. 76). This
tag contains the production part number, the date it
was built, and who the manufacturer of the power
brake booster is.
NOTE: The power brake booster assembly is not a
repairable component and must be replaced as a
complete assembly if found to be faulty in any way.
The check valve located on the power brake
booster face is not repairable, but it can be
replaced separately from the power brake booster.

The different engine combinations used in this
vehicle require different vacuum hose routings to the
power brake booster. All vacuum hoses must be
routed from the engine to the power brake booster
without kinks or excessively tight bends.
As the brake pedal is depressed, the power brake
booster’s input rod moves forward (Fig. 75). This
opens and closes valves in the power booster allowing
atmospheric pressure to enter on one side of a diaphragm. Engine vacuum is always present on the
other side. This difference in pressure forces the output rod of the power brake booster out against the
primary piston of the master cylinder. As the pistons
in the master cylinder move forward this creates the
hydraulic pressure in the brake system.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER BRAKE
BOOSTER
BASIC TEST
(1) With engine off, depress and release the brake
pedal several times to purge all vacuum from the
power brake booster.
(2) Depress and hold the pedal with light effort (15
to 25 lbs. pressure), then start the engine.
The pedal should fall slightly, then hold. Less effort
should be needed to apply the pedal at this time. If
the pedal fell as indicated, perform the VACUUM
LEAK TEST listed after the BASIC TEST. If the
pedal did not fall, continue on with this BASIC
TEST.
(3) Disconnect the vacuum hose on the vacuum
check valve, then place a vacuum gauge in line
between the vacuum hose and the valve.
(4) Start the engine.
(5) When the engine is at warm operating temperature, allow it to idle and check the vacuum at the
gauge.
If the vacuum supply is 12 inches Hg (40.5 kPa) or
more, the power brake booster is defective and must
be replaced. If the vacuum supply is below 12 inches
Hg, continue on with this BASIC TEST.
(6) Shut off the engine.
(7) Connect the vacuum gauge to the vacuum reference port on the engine intake manifold.
(8) Start the engine and observe the vacuum
gauge.
If the vacuum is still low, check the engine tune
and repair as necessary. If the vacuum is above 12
inches Hg, the hose or check valve to the booster has
a restriction or leak.
Once an adequate vacuum supply is obtained,
repeat the BASIC TEST.
OPERATION
The power brake booster reduces the amount of
force required by the driver to obtain the necessary
hydraulic pressure to stop a vehicle.
The power brake booster is vacuum operated. The
vacuum is supplied from the intake manifold on the
engine through a vacuum hose and the power brake
booster check valve (Fig. 75).
VACUUM LEAK TEST
(1) Disconnect the vacuum hose on the vacuum
check valve, then place a vacuum gauge in line
between the vacuum hose and the valve.
(2) Start the engine.
(3) Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature and engine idle.
5 - 50
BRAKES - BASE

POWER BRAKE BOOSTER (Continued)
(4) Using vacuum line pliers, close off the vacuum
supply hose near the booster, but before the vacuum
gauge, then observe the vacuum gauge.
If the vacuum drop exceeds 1.0 inch Hg (3.3 kPa)
in one minute, repeat the above steps to confirm the
reading. The vacuum loss should be less than 1.0
inch Hg in one minute time span. If the loss is more
than 1.0 inch Hg, replace the power brake booster. If
it is not, continue on with this test.
(5) Remove the pliers from the hose temporarily.
(6) Apply light effort (approximately 15 lbs. of
force) to the brake pedal and hold the pedal steady.
Do not move the pedal once the pressure is applied
or the test results may vary.
(7) Have an assistant reattach the vacuum line
pliers to the vacuum supply hose.
(8) Allow 5 seconds for stabilization, then observe
the vacuum gauge.
If the vacuum drop exceeds 3.0 inches Hg (10 kPa)
in 15 seconds, repeat the above steps to confirm the
reading. The vacuum loss should be less than 3.0
inches Hg in 15 seconds time span. If the loss is
more than 3.0 inches Hg, replace the power brake
booster. If it is not, the booster is not defective.
(9) Remove the pliers and vacuum gauge.
(a) Disconnect wiring harness connector from
the speed control servo.
(b) Remove the two servo mounting nuts.
(c) Lay speed control servo off to the side, out of
the way.
(10) Remove the wiper module (unit). (Refer to 8 ELECTRICAL/WIPERS/WASHERS/WIPER
MODULE - REMOVAL)
(11) Disconnect wiring harness connector from
brake fluid level switch in master cylinder fluid reservoir (Fig. 77).

actuator lever that attaches to the rear axle and
moves with the axle to help the valve sense the vehicle height.
CAUTION: The height sensing proportioning valve
is not adjustable. No attempt should be made to
adjust it. It is replaced as a complete assembly.
CAUTION: The use of after-market load leveling or
load capacity increasing devices on this vehicle are
prohibited. Using air shock absorbers or helper

the hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes. This inappropriate reduction in hydraulic pressure potentially
could result in increased stopping distance of the
vehicle.

PROPORTIONING VALVE (Continued)
OPERATION - PROPORTIONING VALVE
(HEIGHT SENSING)
Vehicles not equipped with ABS use a height sensing proportioning valve.
The height sensing proportioning valve operates
similarly to a standard proportioning valve in the following way. As hydraulic pressure is applied to the
valve, full input hydraulic pressure is supplied to the
rear brakes up to a certain pressure point, called the
split point. Beyond the split point, the proportioning
valve reduces the amount of hydraulic pressure to
the rear brakes according to a given ratio. Thus, on
light brake applications, approximately equal
hydraulic pressure will be transmitted to both the
front and rear brakes. Upon heavier brake applications, the hydraulic pressure transmitted to the rear
brakes will be lower than the front brakes. This will
prevent premature rear wheel lockup and skid.
Here is how the height sensing proportioning valve
differs from a standard proportioning valve. As the
height of the rear suspension changes, the height
sensing portion of the proportioning valve changes
the split point of the proportioning valve. When the
height of the rear suspension is low, the proportioning valve interprets this as extra load and the split
point of the proportioning valve is raised to a higher
pressure to allow for more rear braking. When the
height of the rear suspension is high, the proportioning valve interprets this as a light load and the split
point of the proportioning valve is lowered to a lower
pressure and rear braking is reduced.
The height sensing proportioning valve regulates
the pressure by sensing the load condition of the
vehicle through the movement of the proportioning
valve actuator lever (Fig. 91). As the position of the
rear axle changes, depending on the load the vehicle
is carrying, the movement is transferred to the proportioning valve. The proportioning valve adjusts the
hydraulic pressure accordingly.
The height sensing proportioning valve allows the
brake system to maintain the optimal front to rear
brake balance regardless of the vehicle load condition. Under a light load condition, hydraulic pressure
to the rear brakes is minimized. As the rear load condition increases, so does the hydraulic pressure to
the rear brakes.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - PROPORTIONING
VALVE (HEIGHT SENSING)
CAUTION: The use of aftermarket load leveling or
load capacity increasing devices on this vehicle is
prohibited. Using air shock absorbers or helper
springs on this vehicle will cause the height sensing proportioning valve to inappropriately reduce
the hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes. This inap-
propriate reduction in hydraulic pressure potentially
could result in increased stopping distance of the
vehicle.
When a premature rear wheel skid is obtained on a
brake application, it may be an indication that the
hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes is above the
specified output from the proportioning valve. This
condition indicates a possible malfunction of the
height sensing proportioning valve, which will
require testing to verify that it is properly controlling
the hydraulic pressure allowed to the rear brakes.
Premature rear wheel skid may also be caused by
contaminated front or rear brake linings.
Prior to testing a proportioning valve for function,
check that all tire pressures are correct. Also, ensure
the front and rear brake linings are in satisfactory
condition. It is also necessary to verify that the
brakes shoe assemblies on a vehicle being
tested are either original equipment manufacturers (OEM) or original replacement brake
shoe assemblies meeting the OEM lining material specification. This vehicles brake system is
not balanced for aftermarket brake shoe assembly lining material.
If both front and rear brakes check OK, proceed
with the following test procedure for the height sensing proportioning valve.
(1) Road test the vehicle to determine which rear
wheel brake is exhibiting premature wheel skid.
(2) Raise vehicle. (Refer to LUBRICATION &
MAINTENANCE/HOISTING - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
(3) Remove the chassis brake tube going to the
rear brake in question at the proportioning valve.
Remove the chassis brake tube coming from the junction block at the proportioning valve (Fig. 92).
(4) Install the appropriate fittings from Pressure
Test Fittings, Special Tool 6833, into the open ports
of the proportioning valve.
(5) Install the previously removed brake lines into
the Pressure Test Fittings. Tighten all tube nuts to
17 N·m (145 in. lbs.).
(6) Install a pressure gauge from Gauge Set, Special Tool C-4007-A into the open port on each pressure test fitting. Bleed air out of hose from pressure
test fittings to pressure gauges at the pressure
gauges. Then bleed air out of the brake line being
tested at that rear wheel brake bleeder.
NOTE: Actuator rod is a linear spring and is meant
to flex by design. When rod is raised, it will have
some curvature to it.
(7) Remove the screw fastening the proportioning
valve actuator rod bracket to the rear axle. Raise the
actuator lever to the full-upward position and hold it
there.

Then, based on the type of brake system the vehicle
is equipped with and the pressure specification
shown on the following table, compare the pressure
reading on the outlet gauge to the specification. If
outlet pressure at the proportioning valve is not
within specification when required inlet pressure is
obtained, replace the proportioning valve. (Refer to 5

Some discoloration or wear of the rotor surface is
normal and does not require resurfacing when linings are replaced. If cracks or burned spots are evident, the rotor must be replaced.
ROTOR MINIMUM THICKNESS
Measure rotor thickness at the center of the brake
shoe contact surface. Replace the rotor if it is worn
below minimum thickness or if machining the rotor
will cause its thickness to fall below specifications.
CAUTION: Do not machine the rotor if it will cause
the rotor to fall below minimum thickness.
Minimum thickness specifications are cast on the
rotor’s unmachined surface (Fig. 93). Limits can also
be found in this section’s specification table. (Refer to
5 - BRAKES/HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL/ROTOR SPECIFICATIONS)
ROTOR
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BRAKE ROTOR
Any servicing of the rotor requires extreme care to
maintain the rotor within service tolerances to
ensure proper brake action.
Excessive runout or wobble in a rotor can increase
pedal travel due to piston knock-back. This increases
guide pin sleeve wear due to the tendency of the caliper to follow the rotor wobble.
When diagnosing a brake noise or pulsation, the
machined disc braking surface should be checked and
inspected.
BRAKING SURFACE INSPECTION
Light braking surface scoring and wear is acceptable. If heavy scoring or warping is evident, the rotor
must be refaced or replaced. (Refer to 5 - BRAKES/
HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL/ROTORS
STANDARD PROCEDURE).
Excessive wear and scoring of the rotor can cause
improper lining contact on the rotor’s braking surface. If the ridges on the rotor are not removed before
new brake shoes are installed, improper wear of the
shoes will result.
If a vehicle has not been driven for a period of time,
the rotor’s braking surface will rust in the areas not
covered by the brake shoes at that time. Once the
vehicle is driven, noise and chatter from the disc
brakes can result when the brakes are applied.

ROTOR THICKNESS VARIATION
Thickness variation in a rotor’s braking surface
can result in pedal pulsation, chatter and surge. This
can also be caused by excessive runout in the rotor or
the hub.
Rotor thickness variation measurements should be
made in conjunction with measuring runout. Measure thickness of the brake rotor at 12 equal points
around the rotor braking surface with a micrometer
at a radius approximately 25 mm (1 inch) from edge
of rotor (Fig. 94). If thickness measurements vary
beyond the specification listed in the specifaction
table (Refer to 5 - BRAKES/HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL/ROTOR - SPECIFICATIONS), the rotor should
be refaced or replaced. (Refer to 5 - BRAKES/HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL/ROTORS - STANDARD

ROTOR RUNOUT
On-vehicle rotor runout is the combination of the
individual runout of the hub face and the runout of
the rotor. (The hub and rotor runouts are separable).
To measure rotor runout on the vehicle, first remove
the tire and wheel assembly. Reinstall the wheel
mounting nuts on the studs, tightening the rotor to
the hub. Mount the Dial Indicator, Special Tool
C-3339, with Mounting Adaptor, Special Tool SP1910 on steering arm. The dial indicator plunger
should contact braking surface of rotor approximately
ten millimeters from edge of rotor (Fig. 95). Check
lateral runout on both sides of the rotor, marking the
low and high spots on both. Runout limits can be
found in the specification table in this section. (Refer
to 5 - BRAKES/HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL/ROTOR - SPECIFICATIONS)
If runout is in excess of the specification, check the
lateral runout of the hub face. Before removing the
rotor from the hub, place a chalk mark across both
the rotor and the one wheel stud closest to where the
high runout measurement was taken. This way, the
original mounting spot of the rotor on the hub is
indexed (Fig. 96).
Remove the rotor from the hub.
NOTE: Clean the hub face surface before checking
runout. This provides a clean surface to get an
accurate indicator reading.

the hub face near the outer diameter. Care must be
taken to position stem outside of the stud circle, but
inside of the chamfer on the hub rim (Fig. 97).
Hub runout should not exceed 0.03 mm (0.0012

If the rotor surface is deeply scored or warped, or
there is a complaint of brake roughness or brake
pedal pulsation, the rotor should be refaced using a
hub-mounted on-car brake lathe (Fig. 99), or
replaced.
If the hub runout does not exceed this specification, install the rotor back on the hub, aligning the
chalk marks on the rotor with a wheel mounting

PARKING BRAKE
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The parking brake system is operated by a foot
operated parking brake lever. The parking brake
lever is mounted on the body of the vehicle to the left
of the brake pedal (Fig. 105). It is a automatic-adjusting type lever.
INSPECTION
With brake drums removed, inspect the wheel cylinder boots for evidence of a brake fluid leak. Visually check the boots for cuts, tears, or heat cracks. If
any of these conditions exist, the wheel cylinders
should be completely cleaned, inspected and new
parts installed.
If a wheel cylinder is leaking and the brake lining
material is saturated with brake fluid, the brake
shoes must be replaced.
INSTALLATION
(1) Apply sealant such as Mopar Gasket-In-A-Tube
or equivalent around the wheel cylinder opening in
the brake support plate.
(2) Install wheel cylinder onto brake support.
Install and tighten the wheel cylinder to brake support plate attaching bolts to 8 N·m (75 in. lbs.)
torque.

PARKING BRAKE (Continued)
The vehicle has four flexible steel parking brake
cables. They are:
• Front
• Intermediate
• Left rear
• Right rear
The front parking brake cable extends from the
parking brake lever. A steel equalizer bracket connects the front parking brake cable to the left rear
and intermediate cable. The intermediate cable is
connected to the right rear cable using a parking
brake cable connector.
On vehicles equipped with rear drum brakes, the
rear service brakes also act as the vehicle’s parking
brakes.
Vehicles equipped with rear disc brakes use a
small duo-servo brake assembly mounted to the each
rear disc brake caliper adapter as the parking brake.
The inside of the brake rotor (hat section of drum-inhat style brake rotor) is used as the parking brake
drum.
ing the parking brake lever (pedal) or the parking
brake cables.
This parking brake lever (pedal) mechanism is
designed so that the adjuster mechanism will rotate
only half a turn when the tension is released from
the parking brake cable. This eliminates the requirement to lock out the automatic adjuster when servicing the parking brake lever (pedal) mechanism and
cables.
Use the following procedure to release the tension
from the parking brake cables and the automatic
adjuster in the parking brake lever (pedal) mechanism.
(1) Grasp the exposed section of the front parking
brake cable and pull rearward on it. While holding
the park brake in this position, install a pair of locking pliers on the front parking brake cable just rearward of the second body outrigger bracket (Fig. 106).
DESCRIPTION - EXPORT
The parking brake system on this vehicle features
a hand-operated parking brake lever. The lever is
located between the two front seats and requires a
special front cable.
OPERATION
The automatic-adjusting feature in the foot operated parking brake lever continuously applies minimal tension to the parking brake cables when the
parking brake lever is in the released position to
keep them in adjustment at all times. Due to this
feature, the parking brake cables require no periodic
adjustment.
When the parking brake lever is applied, the
cables are pulled, thus applying the brake shoes
(rear drum brakes) or parking brake shoes (rear disc
brakes) at each rear wheel.
The brake shoes are mechanically operated by an
internal lever and strut connected to the rear parking brake cables.
An equalizer bracket is used at the rear end of the
front parking brake cable to distribute tension
equally to each parking brake cable.

ADJUSTMENT - PARKING BRAKE CABLES
The park brake cables on this vehicle have an
automatic self adjuster built into the park brake
pedal mechanism. When the foot operated park brake
pedal is in its released (upward most) position, a
clock spring automatically adjusts the park brake
cables. The park brake cables are adjusted (tensioned) just enough to remove all the slack from the
cables. The automatic adjuster system will not over
adjust the cables causing rear brake drag.
Due to the automatic adjust feature of the park
brake pedal, adjustment of the parking brake cables
on these vehicles relies on proper drum brake and
park brake shoe adjustment. (Refer to 5 - BRAKES/
HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL/DRUM
- ADJUSTMENTS) and (Refer to 5 - BRAKES/PARKING
BRAKE/SHOES - ADJUSTMENTS).
When the park brake pedal is applied the self
adjuster is by-passed and the pedal operates normally to engage the park brakes.
When a service procedure needs to be performed on
the park brake pedal or the park brake cables, the
automatic self adjuster can be manually locked out
by the service technician.

CAUTION: Corrosion may occur between the hub/
bearing and the axle flange. If this occurs, the hub/
bearing will be difficult to remove from the axle and
disc brake caliper adapter. If the hub/bearing will
not come out by pulling on it by hand, don’t not
pound on it with a hammer. Pounding on the hub/
bearing will damage it. To remove a hub/bearing
that is corroded in place, lightly tap the disc brake
caliper adapter using a soft-face hammer. This will
remove both the caliper adapter and hub/bearing
together from the axle. With a helper supporting the
caliper adapter in his hands, position Remover,
Special Tool 8214-1, on the cast housing of hub/
bearing (Fig. 138). Do not position the special tool
on the inner race of hub/bearing. Lightly strike the

DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
This section covers the physical and operational
descriptions and the on-car service procedures for the
Mark 20e Antilock Brake System and the Mark 20e
Antilock Brake System with traction control.
The purpose of the antilock brake system (ABS) is
to prevent wheel lockup under braking conditions on
virtually any type of road surface. Antilock braking is
desirable because a vehicle that is stopped without
locking the wheels retains directional stability and
some steering capability. This allows the driver to
retain greater control of the vehicle during braking.
DESCRIPTION - ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
(EXPORT)
Four-wheel disc antilock brakes are standard on all
models. The Mark 20e antilock brake system is used
on all models. Depending on whether the vehicle is a
left-hand drive (LHD) or right-hand drive (RHD)

DESCRIPTION - ELECTRONIC VARIABLE
BRAKE PROPORTIONING
Vehicles equipped with ABS use electronic variable
brake proportioning (EVBP) to balance front-to-rear
braking. The EVBP is used in place of a rear proportioning valve. The EVBP system uses the ABS system to control the slip of the rear wheels in partial
braking range. The braking force of the rear wheels
is controlled electronically by using the inlet and outlet valves located in the integrated control unit
(ICU).
DESCRIPTION - TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
Traction control reduces wheel slip and maintains
traction at the driving wheels at speeds below 56
km/h (35 mph) when road surfaces are slippery. The
traction control system reduces wheel slip by braking
the wheel that is losing traction.
HYDRAULIC SHUTTLE VALVES
Two pressure relief hydraulic shuttle valves are
included on vehicles with traction control. These
valves are located inside the HCU and cannot be serviced separately from the HCU.
TRACTION CONTROL LAMP
The traction control function lamp is located in the
transmission range indicator display of the instrument cluster, displaying TRAC, TRAC OFF or neither depending on system mode.
The TRAC OFF lamp is controlled by a Traction
Control Off switch that is a momentary contact type
switch. The Traction Control Off switch is located on
the steering column upper shroud.
OPERATION
OPERATION - ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
There are a few performance characteristics of the
Mark 20e Antilock Brake System that may at first
seem abnormal, but in fact are normal. These characteristics are described below.
NORMAL BRAKING
Under normal braking conditions, the ABS functions the same as a standard base brake system with
a diagonally split master cylinder and conventional
vacuum assist.
ABS BRAKING
ABS operation is available at all vehicle speeds
above 3–5 mph. If a wheel locking tendency is
detected during a brake application, the brake system enters the ABS mode. During ABS braking,
hydraulic pressure in the four wheel circuits is mod-
ulated to prevent any wheel from locking. Each
wheel circuit is designed with a set of electric solenoids to allow modulation, although for vehicle stability, both rear wheel solenoids receive the same
electrical signal. Wheel lockup may be perceived at
the very end of an ABS stop and is considered normal.
During an ABS stop, the brakes hydraulic system
is still diagonally split. However, the brake system
pressure is further split into three control channels.
During antilock operation of the vehicle’s brake system, the front wheels are controlled independently
and are on two separate control channels, and the
rear wheels of the vehicle are controlled together.
The system can build and release pressure at each
wheel, depending on signals generated by the wheel
speed sensors (WSS) at each wheel and received at
the controller antilock brake (CAB).
NOISE AND BRAKE PEDAL FEEL
During ABS braking, some brake pedal movement
may be felt. In addition, ABS braking will create
ticking, popping, or groaning noises heard by the
driver. This is normal and is due to pressurized fluid
being transferred between the master cylinder and
the brakes. If ABS operation occurs during hard
braking, some pulsation may be felt in the vehicle
body due to fore and aft movement of the suspension
as brake pressures are modulated.
At the end of an ABS stop, ABS is turned off when
the vehicle is slowed to a speed of 3–4 mph. There
may be a slight brake pedal drop anytime that the
ABS is deactivated, such as at the end of the stop
when the vehicle speed is less than 3 mph or during
an ABS stop where ABS is no longer required. These
conditions exist when a vehicle is being stopped on a
road surface with patches of ice, loose gravel, or sand
on it. Also, stopping a vehicle on a bumpy road surface activates ABS because of the wheel hop caused
by the bumps.
TIRE NOISE AND MARKS
Although the ABS system prevents complete wheel
lockup, some wheel slip is desired in order to achieve
optimum braking performance. Wheel slip is defined
as follows: 0 percent slip means the wheel is rolling
freely and 100 percent slip means the wheel is fully
locked. During brake pressure modulation, wheel slip
is allowed to reach up to 25–30 percent. This means
that the wheel rolling velocity is 25–30 percent less
than that of a free rolling wheel at a given vehicle
speed. This slip may result in some tire chirping,
depending on the road surface. This sound should not
be interpreted as total wheel lockup.
Complete wheel lockup normally leaves black tire
marks on dry pavement. The ABS will not leave dark
RS
BRAKES - ABS
5 - 87
BRAKES - ABS (Continued)
black tire marks since the wheel never reaches a
fully locked condition. However, tire marks may be
noticeable as light patched marks.
START-UP CYCLE
When the ignition is turned on, a popping sound
and a slight brake pedal movement may be noticed.
The ABS warning lamp will also be on for up to 5
seconds after the ignition is turned on. When the
vehicle is first driven off, a humming may be heard
or felt by the driver at approximately 20–40 kph
(12–25 mph). All of these conditions are a normal
function of ABS as the system is performing a diagnosis check.
PREMATURE ABS CYCLING
Symptoms of premature ABS cycling include: clicking sounds from the solenoid valves; pump/motor
running; and pulsations in the brake pedal. Premature ABS cycling can occur at any braking rate of the
vehicle and on any type of road surface. Neither the
red BRAKE warning lamp, nor the amber ABS warning lamp, illuminate and no fault codes are stored in
the CAB.
Premature ABS cycling is a condition that needs to
be correctly assessed when diagnosing problems with
the antilock brake system. It may be necessary to use
a DRB scan tool to detect and verify premature ABS
cycling.
Check the following common causes when diagnosing premature ABS cycling: damaged tone wheels;
incorrect tone wheels; damaged steering knuckle
wheel speed sensor mounting bosses; loose wheel
speed sensor mounting bolts; excessive tone wheel
runout; or an excessively large tone wheel-to-wheel
speed sensor air gap. Give special attention to these
components when diagnosing a vehicle exhibiting
premature ABS cycling.
After diagnosing the defective component, repair or
replace it as required. When the component repair or
replacement is completed, test drive the vehicle to
verify that premature ABS cycling has been corrected.
OPERATION - ELECTRONIC VARIABLE BRAKE
PROPORTIONING
Upon entry into EVBP the inlet valve for the rear
brake circuit is switched on so that the fluid supply
from the master cylinder is shut off. In order to
decrease the rear brake pressure, the outlet valve for
the rear brake circuit is pulsed. This allows fluid to
enter the low pressure accumulator (LPA) in the
hydraulic control unit (HCU) resulting in a drop in
fluid pressure to the rear brakes. In order to increase
the rear brake pressure, the outlet valve is switched
off and the inlet valve is pulsed. This increases the
pressure to the rear brakes. This back-and-forth process will continue until the required slip difference is
obtained. At the end of EVBP braking (brakes
released) the fluid in the LPA drains back to the
master cylinder by switching on the outlet valve and
draining through the inlet valve check valve. At the
same time the inlet valve is switched on in case of
another brake application.
The EVBP will remain functional during many
ABS fault modes. If both the red BRAKE and amber
ABS warning indicators are illuminated, the EVBP
may not be functioning.
OPERATION - TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
The traction control module monitors wheel speed.
During acceleration, if the module detects front
(drive) wheel slip and the brakes are not applied, the
module enters traction control mode. Traction control
operation proceeds in the following order:
(1) Close the normally open isolation valves.
(2) Start the pump/motor and supply volume and
pressure to the front (drive) hydraulic circuit. (The
pump/motor runs continuously during traction control operation.)
(3) Open and close the build and decay valves to
maintain minimum wheel slip and maximum traction.
The cycling of the build and decay valves during
traction control is similar to that during antilock
braking, except the valves work to control wheel spin
by applying the brakes, whereas the ABS function is
to control wheel skid by releasing the brakes.
If the brakes are applied at anytime during a traction control cycle, the brake lamp switch triggers the
controller to switch off traction control.
HYDRAULIC SHUTTLE VALVES
Two pressure relief hydraulic shuttle valves allow
pressure and volume to return to the master cylinder
reservoir when not consumed by the build and decay
valves. These valves are necessary because the
pump/motor supplies more volume than the system
requires.
TRACTION CONTROL LAMP
The traction control system is enabled at each ignition cycle. It may be turned off by depressing the
Traction Control Off switch button when the ignition
is in the ON position. The traction control function
lamp (TRAC OFF) illuminates immediately upon
depressing the button.
The traction control function lamp illuminates during a traction control cycle, displaying TRAC.
If the CAB calculates that the brake temperatures
are high, the traction control system becomes inoperative until a time-out period has elapsed. During this
5 - 88
BRAKES - ABS
RS
BRAKES - ABS (Continued)
“thermo-protection mode,” the traction control function lamp illuminates TRAC OFF; note that no trouble code is registered.
CAUTION
CAUTIONS
The ABS uses an electronic control module, the
CAB. This module is designed to withstand normal
current draws associated with vehicle operation.
Care must be taken to avoid overloading the CAB
circuits.
CAUTION: In testing for open or short circuits, do
not ground or apply voltage to any of the circuits
unless instructed to do so for a diagnostic procedure.
CAUTION: An attempt to remove or disconnect certain system components may result in improper
system operation. Only those components with
approved removal and installation procedures in
this manual should be serviced.
CAUTION: If welding work is to be performed on the
vehicle, using an electric arc welder, the CAB connector should be disconnected during the welding
operation.
CAUTION: Many components of the ABS System
are not serviceable and must be replaced as an
assembly. Do not disassemble any component
which is not designed to be serviced.
CAUTION: These circuits should only be tested
using a high impedance multi-meter or the DRBIIIT
scan tool as described in this section. Power
should never be removed or applied to any control
module with the ignition in the ON position. Before
removing or connecting battery cables, fuses, or
connectors, always turn the ignition to the OFF
position.
CAUTION: Only the recommended jacking or hoisting positions for this vehicle are to be used whenever it is necessary to lift a vehicle. Failure to raise
a vehicle from the recommended locations could
result in lifting a vehicle by the hydraulic control
unit mounting bracket. Lifting a vehicle by the
hydraulic control unit mounting bracket will result
in damage to the mounting bracket and the hydraulic control unit.
CAUTION: The CAB 24-way connector should never
be connected or disconnected with the ignition
switch in the ON position.
CAUTION: Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces.
If brake fluid is spilled on any painted surface,
wash off with water immediately.
CAUTION: This vehicle utilizes active wheel speed
sensors. Do not apply voltage to wheel speed sensors at any time.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ANTILOCK BRAKE
SYSTEM BLEEDING
CAUTION: Use only factory wiring harnesses. Do
not cut or splice wiring to the brake circuits. The
addition of aftermarket electrical equipment (car
phone, radar detector, citizen band radio, trailer
lighting, trailer brakes, etc.) on a vehicle equipped
with antilock brakes may affect the function of the
antilock brake system.
CAUTION: When performing any service procedure
on a vehicle equipped with ABS, do not apply a
12-volt power source to the ground circuit of the
pump motor in the HCU. Doing this will damage the
pump motor and will require replacement of the
entire HCU.
The base brake’s hydraulic system must be bled
anytime air enters the hydraulic system. The ABS
though, particularly the ICU (HCU), should only be
bled when the HCU is replaced or removed from the
vehicle. The ABS must always be bled anytime it is
suspected that the HCU has ingested air. Under
most circumstances that require the bleeding of the
brakes hydraulic system, only the base brake
hydraulic system needs to be bled.
It is important to note that excessive air in the
brake system will cause a soft or spongy feeling
brake pedal.
During the brake bleeding procedure, be sure the
brake fluid level remains close to the FULL level in
the master cylinder fluid reservoir. Check the fluid
level periodically during the bleeding procedure and
add DOT 3 brake fluid as required.
The ABS must be bled as two independent braking
systems. The non-ABS portion of the brake system
with ABS is to be bled the same as any non-ABS system.
BRAKES - ABS
RS
5 - 89
BRAKES - ABS (Continued)
The ABS portion of the brake system must be bled
separately. Use the following procedure to properly
bleed the brake hydraulic system including the ABS.
BLEEDING
When bleeding the ABS system, the following
bleeding sequence must be followed to insure complete and adequate bleeding.
(1) Make sure all hydraulic fluid lines are installed
and properly torqued.
(2) Connect the DRBIIIt scan tool to the diagnostics connector. The diagnostic connector is located
under the lower steering column cover to the left of
the steering column.
(3) Using the DRB, check to make sure the CAB
does not have any fault codes stored. If it does, clear
them using the DRB.
WARNING: WHEN BLEEDING THE BRAKE SYSTEM
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. A CLEAR BLEED TUBE
MUST BE ATTACHED TO THE BLEEDER SCREWS
AND SUBMERGED IN A CLEAR CONTAINER FILLED
PART WAY WITH CLEAN BRAKE FLUID. DIRECT
THE FLOW OF BRAKE FLUID AWAY FROM YOURSELF AND THE PAINTED SURFACES OF THE VEHICLE. BRAKE FLUID AT HIGH PRESSURE MAY
COME OUT OF THE BLEEDER SCREWS WHEN
OPENED.
(4) Bleed the base brake system using the standard pressure or manual bleeding procedure. (Refer
to 5 - BRAKES - BASE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
(5) Using the DRB, select ANTILOCK BRAKES,
followed by MISCELLANEOUS, then BLEED
BRAKES. Follow the instructions displayed. When
the scan tool displays TEST COMPLETED, disconnect the scan tool and proceed.
(6) Bleed the base brake system a second time.
Check brake fluid level in the reservoir periodically
to prevent emptying, causing air to enter the hydraulic system.
(7) Fill the master cylinder reservoir to the full
level.
(8) Test drive the vehicle to be sure the brakes are
operating correctly and that the brake pedal does not
feel spongy.

TONE WHEEL
INSPECTION - TONE WHEEL
NOTE: Rear tone wheels for front-wheel-drive vehicles are sealed within the hub and bearing assembly and cannot be inspected or replaced.
Replacement of the hub and bearing is necessary.
Tone wheels can cause erratic wheel speed sensor
signals. Inspect tone wheels for the following possible
causes.
• missing, chipped, or broken teeth
• contact with the wheel speed sensor
• wheel speed sensor to tone wheel alignment
• wheel speed sensor to tone wheel clearance
• excessive tone wheel runout
• tone wheel loose on its mounting surface
If a front tone wheel is found to need replacement,
the drive shaft must be replaced. No attempt should
be made to replace just the tone wheel. (Refer to 3 DIFFERENTIAL & DRIVELINE/HALF SHAFT REMOVAL)
If a rear tone wheel is found to need replacement
on an all-wheel-drive model, the drive shaft must be
replaced. No attempt should be made to replace just
the tone wheel. (Refer to 3 - DIFFERENTIAL &
DRIVELINE/HALF SHAFT - REMOVAL)
If wheel speed sensor to tone wheel contact is evident, determine the cause and correct it before
replacing the wheel speed sensor or tone wheel.
Check the gap between the speed sensor head and
the tone wheel to ensure it is within specifications.
(Refer to 5 - BRAKES - ABS/ELECTRICAL - SPECIFICATIONS)
Excessive wheel speed sensor runout can cause
erratic wheel speed sensor signals. Refer to SPECIFICATIONS in this section of the service manual for
the maximum allowed tone wheel runout (Refer to 5 BRAKES - ABS/ELECTRICAL - SPECIFICATIONS).
If tone wheel runout is excessive, determine if it is
caused by a defect in the driveshaft assembly or hub
and bearing. Replace as necessary.
Tone wheels are pressed onto their mounting surfaces and should not rotate independently from the
mounting surface. Replacement of the front driveshaft, rear driveshaft (AWD only) or rear hub and
bearing is necessary.

wheel is slipping because the driver is attempting to
stop the vehicle at a faster rate than is allowed by
the surface on which the tires are riding.
• The hydraulic shuttle valve closes upon brake
application so that the pump/motor cannot siphon
brake fluid from the master cylinder.
• The normally open and normally closed valves
modulate (build/decay) the brake hydraulic pressure
as required.
• The pump/motor is switched on so that the
brake fluid from the low pressure accumulators is
returned to the master cylinder circuits.
• The brake fluid is routed to either the master
cylinder or the wheel brake depending on the position of the normally open valve.

HCU (HYDRAULIC CONTROL
UNIT)
DESCRIPTION
The hydraulic control unit (HCU) is mounted to
the CAB as part of the ICU (Fig. 22). The HCU controls the flow of brake fluid to the brakes using a
series of valves and accumulators. A pump/motor is
mounted on the HCU to supply build pressure to the
brakes during an ABS stop.
The HCU on a vehicle equipped with ABS and
traction control has a valve block housing that is
approximately 1 inch longer on the low pressure fluid
accumulators side than a HCU on a vehicle that is
equipped with only ABS.
For more information, (Refer to 5 - BRAKES/HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL/ICU (INTEGRATED CONTROL UNIT) - DESCRIPTION)
OPERATION
For information on the operation of the HCU as a
whole, refer to Hydraulic Circuits And Valve Operation which can be found elsewhere in this section.
For information on the operation of the components
within the HCU, refer to the following three topics.
5 - 99
pressure that the HCU pump/motor is sending to the
front (driving) wheels when traction control is being
applied. The rear brakes need to be isolated from the
master cylinder when traction control is being
applied so the rear wheels do not drag. For more
information, refer to Traction Control System in this
section.
BRAKE FLUID ACCUMULATORS
There are two fluid accumulators in the HCU–one
for the primary hydraulic circuit and one for the secondary hydraulic circuit. Each hydraulic circuit uses
a 5 cc accumulator.
The fluid accumulators temporarily store brake
fluid that is removed from the wheel brakes during
an ABS cycle. This stored fluid is used by the pump/
motor to provide build pressure for the brake hydraulic system. When the antilock stop is complete, the
accumulators are drained by the pump/motor.
On ABS-only vehicles, there is a mini-accumulator
on the secondary hydraulic circuit that protects the
master cylinder seals during an ABS stop, and there
is a noise dampening chamber on the primary circuit.
On ABS with traction control vehicles, there are
two noise dampening chambers in the HCU.
PUMP/MOTOR
VALVES AND SOLENOIDS
The valve block contains four inlet valves and four
outlet valves. The inlet valves are spring-loaded in
the open position and the outlet valves are springloaded in the closed position during normal braking.
The fluid is allowed to flow from the master cylinder
to the wheel brakes.
During an ABS stop, these valves cycle to maintain
the proper slip ratio for each wheel. The inlet valve
closes preventing further pressure increase and the
outlet valve opens to provide a path from the wheel
brake to the HCU accumulators and pump/motor.
This releases (decays) pressure from the wheel brake,
thus releasing the wheel from excessive slippage.
Once the wheel is no longer slipping, the outlet valve
is closed and the inlet valve is opened to reapply
(build) pressure.
On vehicles with traction control, there is an extra
set of valves and solenoids. The ASR valves, mounted
in the HCU valve block, are normally in the open
position and close only when the traction control is
applied.
These isolator valves are used to isolate the rear
(non-driving) wheels of the vehicle from the hydraulic
There are two pump assemblies in the HCU—one
for the primary hydraulic circuit and one for the secondary hydraulic circuit. Both pumps are driven by a
common electric motor. This DC-type motor is integral to the HCU and is controlled by the CAB.
The pump/motor provides the extra amount of
brake fluid needed during antilock braking. Brake
fluid is released to the accumulators when the outlet
valve is opened during an antilock stop. The pump
mechanism consists of two opposing pistons operated
by an eccentric camshaft. In operation, one piston
draws fluid from the accumulators, and the opposing
piston pumps fluid to the master cylinder circuits.
When the antilock stop is complete, the pump/motor
drains the accumulators.
The CAB may turn on the pump/motor when an
antilock stop is detected. The pump/motor continues
to run during the antilock stop and is turned off after
the stop is complete. Under some conditions, the
pump/motor runs to drain the accumulators during
the next drive-off.
The pump/motor is not a serviceable item; if it
requires replacement, the HCU must be replaced.

ICU (INTEGRATED CONTROL
UNIT)
DESCRIPTION
The hydraulic control unit (HCU) and the controller antilock brake (CAB) used with this antilock
brake system are combined (integrated) into one
unit, which is called the integrated control unit (ICU)
(Fig. 12). The ICU is located below the master cylinder in the engine compartment (Fig. 13).
RS
Two different ICU’s (HCU and CAB) are used on
this vehicle depending on whether or not the vehicle
is equipped with traction control. The HCU on a
vehicle equipped with traction control has a valve
block that is approximately one inch longer than a
HCU on a vehicle that is equipped with ABS only.
The ABS-only ICU consists of the following components: the CAB, eight (build/decay) solenoid valves
(four inlet valves and four outlet valves), valve block,
fluid accumulators, a pump, and an electric motor.
The ABS-with traction control ICU consists of the
following components: the CAB, eight (build/decay)
solenoid valves (four inlet valves and four outlet
valves), two traction control (ASR) valves, two
hydraulic shuttle valves, valve block, fluid accumulators, a pump, and an electric motor.
The replaceable components of the ICU are the
HCU and the CAB. No attempt should be made to
service any individual components of the HCU or
CAB. For information on the CAB, (Refer to 8 ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC

DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING
DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are
designed to provide information regarding the vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the
wiring
diagrams
to
diagnose
and
repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important
to understand all of their features and characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+)
side of the circuit is placed near the top of the page,
and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near
the bottom of the page (Fig. 1).
All switches, components, and modules are shown
in the at rest position with the doors closed and the
key removed from the ignition (Fig. 2).
Components are shown two ways. A solid line
around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not complete. Incomplete components have a reference
number to indicate the page where the component is
shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made
on the diagrams to represent components and wiring
as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short
piece of wire is treated the same as a long one. In
addition, switches and other components are shown
as simply as possible, with regard to function only.
SYMBOLS
International symbols are used throughout the wiring diagrams. These symbols are consistent with
those being used around the world (Fig. 3).

DESCRIPTION - CIRCUIT FUNCTIONS
All circuits in the diagrams use an alpha/numeric
code to identify the wire and it’s function. To identify
which circuit code applies to a system, refer to the
Circuit Identification Code Chart. This chart shows
the main circuits only and does not show the secondary codes that may apply to some models.
CIRCUIT IDENTIFICATION CODE CHART
CIRCUIT
FUNCTION
DESCRIPTION - SECTION IDENTIFICATION AND
INFORMATION
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual
sections. If a component is most likely found in a particular group, it will be shown complete (all wires,
connectors, and pins) within that group. For example, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be
found in Group 30, so it is shown there complete. It
can, however, be shown partially in another group if
it contains some associated wiring.
Splice diagrams in Section 8W-70 show the entire
splice and provide references to other sections the
splices serves. Section 8W-70 only contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in the wiring diagrams.
Section 8W-80 shows each connector and the circuits involved with that connector. The connectors
are identified using the name/number on the diagram pages.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit
there are several common tools necessary. These tools
are listed and explained below.
• Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: NEVER USE A JUMPER WIRE ACROSS
A LOAD, SUCH AS A MOTOR, CONNECTED
BETWEEN A BATTERY FEED AND GROUND.
• Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the
circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used
in today’s vehicles are Solid State. When checking
voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 megohm or greater impedance rating.
8W - 01 - 8
8W-01 WIRING DIAGRAM INFORMATION
RS
WIRING DIAGRAM INFORMATION (Continued)
• Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance
between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance
in a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used
in today’s vehicles are Solid State. When checking
resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 megohm or greater impedance rating. In addition,
make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by the vehicle’s
electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.
• Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing
terminals in connectors (Fig. 5). Select the proper
size tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert
it into the terminal being tested. Use the other end
of the tool to insert the meter probe.
are listed and explained below. Always check for nonfactory items added to the vehicle before doing any
diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items,
disconnect them to verify these add-on items are not
the cause of the problem.
(1) Verify the problem.
(2) Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on components that are
in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.
(3) Analyze the symptoms. Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where
the problem most likely is occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
(4) Isolate the problem area.
(5) Repair the problem area.
(6) Verify the proper operation. For this step,
check for proper operation of all items on the
repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC
DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
Fig. 5 PROBING TOOL
1 - SPECIAL TOOL 6801
2 - PROBING END
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused
by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a
problem. Before condemning a component or wiring
assembly, check the following items.
• Connectors are fully seated
• Spread terminals, or terminal push out
• Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully
seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
• Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of
corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent problem
• Damaged connector/component casing exposing
the item to dirt or moisture
• Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing
a short to ground
• Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside
of the insulation
• Wiring broken inside of the insulation
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a
symbol (Fig. 6) is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent
discharge into the component. If it is not known
whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
(1) Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position,
or walking a distance.
(2) Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part,
unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
(3) When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the
ground lead first.
(4) Do not remove the part form it’s protective
packing until it is time to install the part.
(5) Before removing the part from it’s pakage,
ground the pakage to a known good ground on the
vehicle.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are
six steps which can aid in the procedure. The steps

DIAGNOSIS & TESTING - ACCESSORY RELAY
Terminal Pick Kit 6680
ACCESSORY RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The accessory relay is an electromechanical device
that switches fused battery current to the accessory
powered vehicle circuits when the ignition switch is
turned to the Accessory or On positions. The delay
feature will maintain power to the accessories for 45
seconds after the ignition is shut off or until a door is
opened. This allows sufficient time to close windows
and park the windshield wipers. The accessory relay
is located in the Integrated Power Module (IPM) in
the engine compartment.
The accessory relay is a International Standards
Organization (ISO) relay. Relays conforming to the
ISO specifications have common physical dimensions,
current capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal
functions.
The accessory relay cannot be repaired or adjusted
and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The ISO relay consists of an electromagnetic coil, a
resistor or diode, and three (two fixed and one movable)
electrical contacts. The movable (common feed) relay
contact is held against one of the fixed contacts (normally closed) by spring pressure. When the electromagnetic
coil is energized, it draws the movable contact away
from the normally closed fixed contact, and holds it
against the other (normally open) fixed contact.
When the electromagnetic coil is de-energized,
spring pressure returns the movable contact to the
normally closed position. The resistor or diode is connected in parallel with the electromagnetic coil in the
relay, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes that are
produced when the coil is de-energized.
The accessory relay (Fig. 1) is located in the Integrated Power Module (IPM), in the engine compartment. For complete circuit diagrams, refer to Wiring
Diagrams.
(1) Remove the accessory relay from the IPM.
Refer to Accessory Relay in the Removal and
Installation section of this group for the procedure.
(2) A relay in the de-energized position should
have continuity between terminals 87A and 30, and
no continuity between terminals 87 and 30. If OK, go
to Step 3. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(3) Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (electromagnet) should be 75 ± 5 ohms. If OK, go to Step
4. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(4) Connect a battery to terminals 85 and 86.
There should now be continuity between terminals
30 and 87, and no continuity between terminals 87A
and 30. If OK, perform the Relay Circuit Test that
follows. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
Fig. 1 Accessory Relay
DIAGNOSIS & TESTING - RELAY CIRCUIT TEST
(1) The relay common feed terminal cavity (30) of
the IPM is connected to battery voltage and should
be hot at all times. Check for battery voltage at the
fused B(+) circuit cavity in the IPM receptacle for the
accessory relay. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair
the fused B(+) circuit to the IPM fuse as required.
(2) The relay normally closed terminal (87A) is
connected to terminal 30 in the de-energized position,
but is not used for this application. Go to Step 3.
(3) The relay normally open terminal (87) is connected to the common feed terminal (30) in the energized position. This terminal supplies battery voltage
to the fused B(+) fuse in the IPM that feeds the
accessories when the relay is energized by the ignition switch. There should be continuity between the
IPM cavity for relay terminal 87 and the fused B(+)
fuse in the IPM at all times. If OK, go to Step 4. If
not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit to the IPM
fuse as required.

(4) The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to
the electromagnet in the relay. It receives battery
feed to energize the accessory relay when the ignition
switch is in the Accessory or On positions. Turn the
ignition switch to the On position. Check for battery
voltage at the fused ignition switch output (acc/run)
circuit cavity for relay terminal 85 in the IPM receptacle for the accessory relay. If OK, go to Step 5. If
not OK, repair the open fused ignition switch output
(acc/run) circuit to the ignition switch as required.
(5) The coil battery terminal (86) is connected to
the electromagnet in the relay. The IPM cavity for
this terminal should have continuity to ground at all
times. If not OK, repair the open ground circuit to
ground as required.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the Integrated Power Module (IPM)
cover from the IPM.
(3) Remove the accessory relay from the IPM.
Refer to the IPM cover for relay location.
INSTALLATION

(4) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
INTEGRATED POWER MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Integrated Power Module (IPM) is a combination of the Power Distribution Center (PDC) and the
Front Control Module (FCM). The IPM is located in
the engine compartment, next to the battery on this
model (Fig. 2). The power distribution center mates
directly with the Front Control Module (FCM) to
form the IPM Fuse and Relay Center. The power distribution center (PDC) is a printed circuit board
based module that contains fuses and relays, while
the front control module contains the electronics controlling the IPM and other functions. This IPM connects directly to the battery positive via a four pin
connector. The ground connection is via two other
connectors. The IPM provides the primary means of
voltage distribution and protection for the entire
vehicle.
The molded plastic IPM housing includes a base
and cover. The IPM cover is easily opened or removed
for service access by squeezing the two marked cover

latches and has a fuse and relay layout map integral
to the inside surface of the cover. This IPM housing
base and cover are secured in place by an IPM
mounting bracket. This mounting bracket is designed
to allow the IPM to rotate counter-clockwise once the
locking tab is disengaged. The IPM mounting bracket
is secured in place by bolts threaded into the left
front wheel house.
Replaceable components of the IPM assembly are
broken down into the following components: the
Power Distribution Center (PDC) (without fuses or
relays), the IPM cover, the Front Control Module
(FCM), the IPM mounting bracket, IPM bracket
retaining clips and the IPM assembly which includes
the power distribution center, the cover and FCM.
Refer to the Front Control Module in the Electronic Control Module section of this service
manual for information on the FCM.
OPERATION
All of the current from the battery and the generator output enters the Integrated Power Module
(IPM) via a four- pin connector on the bottom of the
module. The IPM cover is unlatched and opened or
removed to access the fuses or relays. Internal connections of all of the power distribution center circuits is accomplished by a combination of bus bars
and a printed circuit board. Refer to the Wiring sec-

IOD FUSE
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off
Draw (IOD) fuse that is removed from its normal
cavity in the Integrated Power Module (IPM) when
the vehicle is shipped from the factory. Dealer personnel are to remove the IOD fuse from the storage
location and install it into the IPM fuse cavity
marked IOD as part of the preparation procedures
performed just prior to new vehicle delivery.
The IPM has a molded plastic cover that can be
removed to provide service access to all of the fuses
and relays in the IPM. An integral latch and hinges
are molded into the IPM cover for easy removal. A
fuse layout map is integral to the underside of the
IPM cover to ensure proper fuse and relay identifica-

IOD FUSE (Continued)
tion. The IOD fuse is a 15 ampere blade-type cartridge fuse and, when removed, it is stored in a fuse
cavity adjacent to the washer fuse within the IPM.
OPERATION
The term ignition-off draw identifies a normal condition where power is being drained from the battery
with the ignition switch in the Off position. The IOD
fuse feeds the memory and sleep mode functions for
some of the electronic modules in the vehicle as well
as various other accessories that require battery current when the ignition switch is in the Off position,
including the clock. The only reason the IOD fuse is
removed is to reduce the normal IOD of the vehicle
electrical system during new vehicle transportation
and pre-delivery storage to reduce battery depletion,
while still allowing vehicle operation so that the
vehicle can be loaded, unloaded and moved as needed
by both vehicle transportation company and dealer
personnel.
The IOD fuse is removed from the IPM fuse cavity
when the vehicle is shipped from the assembly plant.
Dealer personnel must install the IOD fuse when the
vehicle is being prepared for delivery in order to
restore full electrical system operation. Once the
vehicle is prepared for delivery, the IOD function of
this fuse becomes transparent and the fuse that has
been assigned the IOD designation becomes only
another Fused B(+) circuit fuse. The IOD fuse serves
no useful purpose to the dealer technician in the service or diagnosis of any vehicle system or condition,
other than the same purpose as that of any other
standard circuit protection device.
The IOD fuse can be used by the vehicle owner as
a convenient means of reducing battery depletion
when a vehicle is to be stored for periods not to
exceed about thirty days. However, it must be
remembered that removing the IOD fuse will not
eliminate IOD, but only reduce this normal condition.
If a vehicle will be stored for more than about thirty
days, the battery negative cable should be disconnected to eliminate normal IOD; and, the battery
should be tested and recharged at regular intervals
during the vehicle storage period to prevent the battery from becoming discharged or damaged. Refer to
Battery System for additional service information.
REMOVAL
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
(2) Unlatch and open the cover of the intelligent
power module.
(3) Remove the IOD fuse from fuse location
marked IOD of the Integrated Power Module (IPM).
(4) Store the removed IOD fuse by installing it in
the unused fuse storage marked SPARE of the IPM.
(5) Close and latch the IPM.
INSTALLATION
(1) Be certain the ignition switch is in the Off position.
(2) Unlatch and open the cover of the Integrated
Power Module (IPM).
(3) Remove the stored 15 amp IOD fuse from fuse
storage marked SPARE of the IPM.
(4) Use a thumb to press the IOD fuse firmly down
into IPM fuse cavity marked IOD.
(5) Close and latch the IPM cover.
POWER OUTLET
DESCRIPTION
Accessory power outlets are standard equipment on
this model. Two power outlets are installed in the
instrument panel center lower bezel, which is located
near the bottom of the instrument panel center stack
area. Two additional power outlets are also incorporated into the vehicle, one on the left rear C-pillar
trim and the other in the center console, if equipped.
The power outlets bases are secured by a snap fit in
the appropriate bezels. A hinged plug flips closed to
conceal and protect the power outlet base when the
power outlet is not being used.
The power outlet receptacle unit and the power
outlet plugs are each available for service replacement.
OPERATION
The power outlet base or receptacle shell is connected to ground, and an insulated contact in the
bottom of the shell is connected to battery current.
The power outlet on the instrument panel marked
with a battery receives battery voltage from a fuse in
the Integrated Power Module (IPM) at all times. The
other power outlet on the instrument panel marked
with a key receives battery voltage only when the
key is in the on position.
The power outlet located in the center console
receives battery voltage all the time when positioned
between the front seats and key-on voltage when
positioned between the rear seats. The power outlet
located on the C-pillar receives battery voltage only
when the key is in the on position.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - PCM/SKIM
PROGRAMMING
NOTE: Before replacing the PCM for a failed driver,
control circuit or ground circuit, be sure to check
the related component/circuit integrity for failures
not detected due to a double fault in the circuit.
Most PCM driver/control circuit failures are caused
by internal component failures (i.e. relay and solenoids) and shorted circuits (i.e. pull-ups, drivers
and switched circuits). These failures are difficult to
detect when a double fault has occurred and only
one DTC has set.
When a PCM (SBEC) and the SKIM are replaced
at the same time perform the following steps in
order:
(1) Program the new PCM (SBEC)
(2) Program the new SKIM
(3) Replace all ignition keys and program them to
the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING THE PCM (SBEC)
The SKIS Secret Key is an ID code that is unique
to each SKIM. This code is programmed and stored
in the SKIM, PCM and transponder chip (ignition
keys). When replacing the PCM it is necessary to
program the secret key into the new PCM using the
DRB III. Perform the following steps to program the
secret key into the PCM.
(1) Turn the ignition switch on (transmission in
park/neutral).
(2) Use the DRB III and select THEFT ALARM,
SKIM then MISCELLANEOUS.
(3) Select PCM REPLACED (GAS ENGINE).

When replacing a BCM there are three modules
available:
• Base
• Midline
• Highline
The Midline controller is used on vehicles that
have Power Door Locks and the Highline controller is
used for vehicles equipped with a Power Liftgate. If a
vehicle is equipped with the Vehicle Theft Security
System, the Midline/Highline controller becomes a
Premium when the theft feature is enabled.
CAUTION: Do not swap Body Control Modules
between vehicles or body controller’s off the shelf.
The BCM has internal diagnostic capability that
assists in diagnosing the system error. When an
OPEN or a SHORT circuit exists, the diagnostic tool
can be used to read the BCM faults. The faults are
very descriptive in identifying the appropriate feature that has faulted.
The only two faults that the BCM logs that conclude the replacement of a BCM are faults;
• # 01 - Internal BCM failure (replace BCM)
• # 1F - J1850 Internal Hardware Failure (replace
BCM)
Otherwise the appropriate diagnostic procedures
for each of the features should be taken when the
BCM logs a fault.
CONTROLLER ANTILOCK
BRAKE
DESCRIPTION
The controller antilock brake (CAB) is a microprocessor-based device which monitors the antilock
brake system (ABS) during normal braking and controls it when the vehicle is in an ABS stop. The CAB
is mounted to the HCU as part of the integrated control unit (ICU) (Fig. 2). The CAB uses a 24-way electrical connector on the vehicle wiring harness. The
power source for the CAB is through the ignition
switch in the RUN or ON position. The CAB is on
the PCI bus.

CAB
OPERATION
The primary functions of the controller antilock
brake (CAB) are to:
• Monitor the antilock brake system for proper
operation.
• Detect wheel locking or wheel slipping tendencies by monitoring the speed of all four wheels of the
vehicle.
• Control fluid modulation to the wheel brakes
while the system is in an ABS mode.
• Store diagnostic information.
• Provide communication to the DRBIIIt scan tool
while in diagnostic mode.
• Illuminate the amber ABS warning indicator
lamp.
• (With traction control only) Illuminate the TRAC
ON lamp in the message center on the instrument
panel when a traction control event occurs.
8E - 6
ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES
RS
CONTROLLER ANTILOCK BRAKE (Continued)
• (with traction control only) Illuminate the TRAC
OFF lamp when the amber ABS warning indicator
lamp illuminates.
The CAB constantly monitors the antilock brake
system for proper operation. If the CAB detects a
fault, it will turn on the amber ABS warning indicator lamp and disable the antilock braking system.
The normal base braking system will remain operational.
(2) Remove the battery (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/BATTERY SYSTEM/BATTERY - REMOVAL).
(3) Disconnect the vacuum hose connector at the
tank built into the battery tray.
(4) Remove the screw securing the coolant filler
neck to the battery tray.
(5) Remove the battery tray (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/BATTERY SYSTEM/TRAY - REMOVAL).
(6) Pull up on the CAB connector lock and disconnect the 24–way electrical connector (Fig. 3).
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with traction control, the TRAC OFF lamp will illuminate anytime the
amber ABS warning indicator lamp illuminates.
The CAB continuously monitors the speed of each
wheel through the signals generated by the wheel
speed sensors to determine if any wheel is beginning
to lock. When a wheel locking tendency is detected,
the CAB commands the CAB command coils to actuate. The coils then open and close the valves in the
HCU that modulate brake fluid pressure in some or
all of the hydraulic circuits. The CAB continues to
control pressure in individual hydraulic circuits until
a locking tendency is no longer present.
The CAB contains a self-diagnostic program that
monitors the antilock brake system for system faults.
When a fault is detected, the amber ABS warning
indicator lamp is turned on and the fault diagnostic
trouble code (DTC) is then stored in a diagnostic program memory. These DTC’s will remain in the CAB
memory even after the ignition has been turned off.
The DTC’s can be read and cleared from the CAB
memory by a technician using the DRBIIIt scan tool.
If not cleared with a DRBIIIt scan tool, the fault
occurrence and DTC will be automatically cleared
from the CAB memory after the identical fault has
not been seen during the next 3,500 miles.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FRONT CONTROL
MODULE
The Front Control Module (FCM) is a printed circuit board based module with a on-board micro-processor. The FCM interfaces with other electronic
modules in the vehicle via the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus. In order to
obtain conclusive testing the PCI data bus and all of
the electronic modules that provide inputs to, or
receive outputs from the FCM must be checked. All
PCI communication faults must be resolved prior to
further diagnosing any front control module related
issues.
The FCM was designed to be diagnosed with an
appropriate diagnostic scan tool, such as the DRB
IIIt. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means
to diagnose the front control module requires the use
of a DRB IIIt scan tool and the proper Body Diagnostic Procedures manual.
Before any testing of the FCM is attempted, the
battery should be fully charged and all wire harness
and ground connections inspected around the affected
areas on the vehicle.

times through the seat wire harness. Inputs to the
module include a resistor multiplexed heated seat
switch request circuit for the heated seat switch and
the heated seat sensor inputs from the seat cushions
of each front seat. In response to those inputs the
heated seat module controls battery current feeds to
the heated seat elements, and controls the ground for
the heated seat switch indicator lamps.
When a heated seat switch request signal is
received by the heated seat module, the module energizes the proper indicator lamp (Low or High) in the
switch by grounding the indicator lamp circuit to
indicate that the heated seat system is operating. At
the same time, the heated seat module energizes the
selected heated seat sensor circuit and the sensor
provides the module with an input indicating the
surface temperature of the selected seat cushion.
The Low heat set point is about 38° C (100.4° F),
and the High heat set point is about 42° C (107.6° F).
If the seat cushion surface temperature input is
below the temperature set point for the selected temperature setting, the heated seat module energizes
an N-channel Field Effect Transistor (N-FET) within
the module which energizes the heated seat elements
in the selected seat cushion and back. When the sensor input to the module indicates the correct temperature set point has been achieved, the module
de-energizes the N-FET which de-energizes the
heated seat elements. The heated seat module will
continue to cycle the N-FET as needed to maintain
the selected temperature set point.

Based on inputs it receives, the powertrain control
module (PCM) adjusts fuel injector pulse width, idle
speed, ignition timing, and canister purge operation.
The PCM regulates the cooling fans, air conditioning
and speed control systems. The PCM changes generator charge rate by adjusting the generator field.
The PCM adjusts injector pulse width (air-fuel
ratio) based on the following inputs.
• Battery Voltage
• Intake Air Temperature Sensor
• Engine Coolant Temperature
• Engine Speed (crankshaft position sensor)
• Exhaust Gas Oxygen Content (heated oxygen
sensors)
• Manifold Absolute Pressure
• Throttle Position
The PCM adjusts engine idle speed through the
idle air control motor based on the following inputs.
• Brake Switch
• Engine Coolant Temperature
• Engine Speed (crankshaft position sensor)
• Park/Neutral (transmission gear selection)
• Transaxle Gear Engagement
• Throttle Position
• Vehicle Speed (from Transmission Control Module)
The PCM adjusts ignition timing based on the following inputs.
• Intake Air Temperature
• Engine Coolant Temperature
• Engine Speed (crankshaft position sensor)
• Knock Sensor
• Manifold Absolute Pressure
• Park/Neutral (transmission gear selection)
• Transaxle Gear Engagement
• Throttle Position
The automatic shut down (ASD) and fuel pump
relays are mounted externally, but turned on and off
by the powertrain control module through the same
circuit.
The camshaft and crankshaft signals are sent to
the powertrain control module. If the PCM does not
receive both signals within approximately one second
of engine cranking, it deactivates the ASD and fuel
pump relays. When these relays are deactivated,
power is shut off to the fuel injectors, ignition coils,
fuel pump and the heating element in each oxygen
sensor.
The PCM contains a voltage converter that
changes battery voltage to a regulated 8.0 volts. The
8.0 volts power the camshaft position sensor, crankshaft position sensor and vehicle speed sensor. The
PCM also provides a 5.0 volts supply for the engine
coolant temperature sensor, intake air temperature
sensor, manifold absolute pressure sensor and throttle position sensor.
The PCM engine control strategy prevents reduced
idle speeds until after the engine operates for 320 km
(200 miles). If the PCM is replaced after 320 km (200
miles) of usage, update the mileage in new PCM. Use
the DRB scan tool to change the mileage in the PCM.
Refer to the appropriate Powertrain Diagnostic Manual and the DRB scan tool.

OPERATION
The sensor return circuit provides a low electrical
noise ground reference for all of the systems sensors.
The sensor return circuit connects to internal ground
circuits within the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The PCM supplies 8 volts to the crankshaft position sensor, camshaft position sensor.
OPERATION - SCI RECEIVE - PCM INPUT
OPERATION - 5 VOLT SUPPLY - PCM OUTPUT
SCI Receive is the serial data communication
receive circuit for the DRB scan tool. The Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) receives data from the DRB
through the SCI Receive circuit.
OPERATION - IGNITION SENSE - PCM INPUT
The ignition sense input informs the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) that the ignition switch is in
the crank or run position.
OPERATION - PCM GROUND
Ground is provided through multiple pins of the
PCM connector. Depending on the vehicle there may
be as many as three different ground pins. There are
power grounds and sensor grounds.
The power grounds are used to control the ground
side of any relay, solenoid, ignition coil or injector.
The signal ground is used for any input that uses
sensor return for ground, and the ground side of any
internal processing component.
The SBEC III case is shielded to prevent RFI and
EMI. The PCM case is grounded and must be firmly
attached to a good, clean body ground.
Internally all grounds are connected together, however there is noise suppression on the sensor ground.
For EMI and RFI protection the case is also
grounded separately from the ground pins.
OPERATION - 8-VOLT SUPPLY - PCM OUTPUT
The PCM supplies 5 volts to the following sensors:
• A/C pressure transducer
• Engine coolant temperature sensor
• Manifold absolute pressure sensor
• Throttle position sensor
• Linear EGR solenoid
• Battery temperature
• Knock sensor

SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
Fig. 12 PCM
1 - Attaching Bolts
The Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) contains a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver and a
microprocessor. The SKIM retains in memory the ID
numbers of any Sentry Key that is programmed to it.
The maximum number of keys that may be programmed to each module is eight (8). The SKIM also
communicates over the PCI bus with the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM), the Body Control Module
RS
ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES
8E - 27
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER MODULE (Continued)
The SKIM also sends indicator light status messages to the BCM to operate the light. This is the
method used to turn the light ON solid or to flash it
after the indicator light test is complete to signify a
fault in the SKIS. If the light comes ON and stays
ON solid after the indicator light test, this signifies
that the SKIM has detected a system malfunction
and/or that the SKIS has become inoperative. If the
SKIM detects an invalid key OR a key-related fault
exists, the indicator light will flash following the
indicator light test. The SKIM may also request an
audible chime if the customer key programming feature is available and the procedure is being utilized
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY/TRANSPONDER KEY - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
(BCM), and the DRB IIIt scan tool. The SKIM transmits and receives RF signals through a tuned
antenna enclosed within a molded plastic ring formation that is integral to the SKIM housing. When the
SKIM is properly installed on the steering column,
the antenna ring fits snugly around the circumference of the ignition lock cylinder housing. If this ring
is not mounted properly, communication problems
may arise in the form of transponder-related faults.
For added system security, each SKIM is programmed with a unique 9Secret Key9 code. This code
is stored in memory and is sent over the PCI bus to
the PCM and to each key that is programmed to
work with the vehicle. The 9Secret Key9 code is therefore a common element found in all components of
the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS). In the
event that a SKIM replacement is required, the
9Secret Key9 code can be restored from the PCM by
following the SKIM replacement procedure found in
the DRB IIIt scan tool. Proper completion of this
task will allow the existing ignition keys to be reprogrammed. Therefore, new keys will NOT be needed.
In the event that the original 9Secret Key9 code can
not be recovered, new ignition keys will be required.
The DRB IIIt scan tool will alert the technician if
key replacement is necessary. Another security code,
called a PIN, is used to gain secured access to the
SKIM for service. The SKIM also stores in its memory the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), which it
learns through a bus message from the assembly
plant tester. The SKIS scrambles the information
that is communicated between its components in
order to reduce the possibility of unauthorized SKIM
access and/or disabling.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
(2) Remove Lower Instrument Panel Cover. Refer
to Body, Instrument Panel, Lower Instrument Panel
Cover, Removal.
(3) Remove the steering column upper and lower
shrouds. Refer to Steering, Column, Column Shroud,
Removal.
(4) Disengage the steering column wire harness
from the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM).
(5) Remove the one screws securing the SKIM to
the steering column.
(6) Rotate the SKIM upwards and then to the side
away from the steering column to slide the SKIM
antenna ring from around the ignition switch lock
cylinder housing.
(7) Remove the SKIM from the vehicle.
OPERATION
INSTALLATION
When the ignition switch is moved to the RUN
position, the SKIM transmits an RF signal to the
transponder in the ignition key. The SKIM then
waits for a response RF signal from the transponder
in the key. If the response received identifies the key
as valid, the SKIM sends a 9valid key9 message to
the PCM over the PCI bus. If the response received
identifies the key as invalid or no response is
received from the transponder in the ignition key, the
SKIM sends an 9invalid key9 message to the PCM.
The PCM will enable or disable engine operation
based upon the status of the SKIM messages. It is
important to note that the default condition in the
PCM is 9invalid key.9 Therefore, if no response is
received by the PCM, the engine will be immobilized
after two (2) seconds of running.
(1) Slip the SKIM antenna ring around the ignition switch lock cylinder housing. Rotate the SKIM
downwards and then towards the steering column.
(2) Install the one screws securing the SKIM to
the steering column.

used specifically by the TCM. Indirect inputs originate from other components/modules, and are shared
with the TCM via the J1850 communication bus.
RS
Some examples of direct inputs to the TCM are:
• Battery (B+) voltage
• Ignition “ON” voltage
• Transmission Control Relay (Switched B+)
• Throttle Position Sensor
• Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP)
• Transmission Range Sensor (TRS)
• Pressure Switches (L/R, 2/4, OD)
• Transmission Temperature Sensor (Integral to
TRS)
• Input Shaft Speed Sensor
• Output Shaft Speed Sensor
Some examples of indirect inputs to the TCM are:
• Engine/Body Identification
• Manifold Pressure
• Target Idle
• Torque Reduction Confirmation
• Speed Control ON/OFF Switch
• Engine Coolant Temperature
• Ambient/Battery Temperature
• Brake Switch Status
• DRB Communication
Based on the information received from these various inputs, the TCM determines the appropriate
shift schedule and shift points, depending on the
present operating conditions and driver demand.
This is possible through the control of various direct
and indirect outputs.
Some examples of TCM direct outputs are:
• Transmission Control Relay
• Solenoids (LR/CC, 2/4, OD and UD)
• Vehicle Speed (to PCM)
• Torque Reduction Request (to PCM)
An example of a TCM indirect output is:
• Transmission Temperature (to PCM)
In addition to monitoring inputs and controlling
outputs, the TCM has other important responsibilities and functions:
• Storing and maintaining Clutch Volume Indices
(CVI)
• Storing and selecting appropriate Shift Schedules
• System self-diagnostics
• Diagnostic capabilities (with DRB scan tool)

CLUTCH VOLUME INDEX (CVI)
An important function of the TCM is to monitor
Clutch Volume Index (CVI). CVIs represent the volume of fluid needed to compress a clutch pack.
The TCM monitors gear ratio changes by monitoring the Input and Output Speed Sensors. The Input,
or Turbine Speed Sensor sends an electrical signal to
the TCM that represents input shaft rpm. The Output Speed Sensor provides the TCM with output
shaft speed information.
By comparing the two inputs, the TCM can determine transaxle gear ratio. This is important to the
CVI calculation because the TCM determines CVIs
by monitoring how long it takes for a gear change to
occur (Fig. 15).
Gear ratios can be determined by using the DRB
Scan Tool and reading the Input/Output Speed Sensor values in the “Monitors” display. Gear ratio can
be obtained by dividing the Input Speed Sensor value
by the Output Speed Sensor value.
For example, if the input shaft is rotating at 1000
rpm and the output shaft is rotating at 500 rpm,
then the TCM can determine that the gear ratio is
2:1. In direct drive (3rd gear), the gear ratio changes
to 1:1. The gear ratio changes as clutches are applied
and released. By monitoring the length of time it
takes for the gear ratio to change following a shift
request, the TCM can determine the volume of fluid
used to apply or release a friction element.
The volume of transmission fluid needed to apply
the friction elements are continuously updated for
adaptive controls. As friction material wears, the volume of fluid need to apply the element increases.
Certain mechanical problems within the clutch
assemblies (broken return springs, out of position
snap rings, excessive clutch pack clearance, improper
assembly, etc.) can cause inadequate or out-of-range

allows it to select a variety of shift schedules. Shift
schedule selection is dependent on the following:
• Shift lever position

MEMORY SEAT/MIRROR
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the memory seat/mirror
option, utilize a memory module located under the
drivers front seat. This module is basically wired inline between the power seat switch and the power
seat track/adjuster motors, or in-line between the
power mirror switch and the power side view mirror(s) motor(s). The MSMM contains a central processing unit that communicates with other modules
on the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus network.
The Memory Seat/Mirror Module (MSMM) receives
hard wired inputs from the driver power seat switch
and the potentiometers on each of the driver side
power seat track motors, or from the power mirror
switch and the potentiometers on the side view mirror. The MSMM receives messages over the PCI data
bus from the Body Control Module (BCM) (memory
switch status), the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
(vehicle speed status). The MSMM will prevent the
seat memory recall function from being initiated if
the driver side seat belt is buckled, if the transmission gear selector lever is not in the Park or Neutral
positions, or if the vehicle is moving.
For diagnosis of the MSMM or the PCI data bus, a
DRB IIIt scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual are recommended. The MSMM cannot
be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be
replaced. Refer to Memory System in the Power
Seat or Power Mirror section of this manual for more
information on the memory system option.
OPERATION
When memory system operation is requested
(depressing of the memory switch), a resistor multiplexed signal is sent from the memory switch to the
body control module (BCM). The body control module
will then send the appropriate signals out to the
memory/mirror seat module, the memory/mirror seat
module then applies the voltage supply to the power
seat track or side-view mirror if the proper requirements are met. The vehicle speed must equal zero
and the transmission must be in park or neutral in
order for the memory system to function.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - MEMORY
SEAT/MIRROR MODULE
Visually inspect the related wiring harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded
terminals. If any of the above conditions are present,
repair as necessary. If not, use a DRB IIIt scan tool

SLIDING DOOR CONTROL
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a power sliding door utilize
a sliding door control module. The sliding door control module is located behind the sliding door trim
panel in the center of the door, just above the sliding
door motor (Fig. 20). This module controls the operation of the door through the Programmable Communication Interface (PCI) J1850 data bus circuit and
the Body Control Module. The sliding door control
module contains software technology which enables it
to detect resistance to door travel and to reverse door
travel in order to avoid damage to the door or to
avoid possible personal injury if the obstruction is a
person. This feature functions in both the opening
and closing cycles. If the power sliding door system
develops any problems the control module will store
and recall Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). The use
of a diagnostic scan tool, such as the DRB IIIt is
required to read and troubleshoot these trouble
codes. The sliding door control module can be

engage the clutch assembly and drive the door into
the full open position. If an obstacle is felt during
this power open cycle, the module will reverse direction and close the door. This process is also enabled
during a power close cycle. This process will repeat
three times, and if a fourth obstacle is detected, the
door will go into full manual mode. Once the full
open position is obtained, a hold open latch assembly
mounted full open switch tells the control module
that the door has reached the full open position. If
the power sliding door system develops any problems
the control module will store and recall Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTC). The use of a diagnostic scan
tool, such as the DRB IIIt is required to read and
troubleshoot these trouble codes.

ENGINE CONTROL MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The ECM is located in the left front corner of the
engine compartment attached to the radiator support
(Fig. 1).
monitoring is called on-board diagnostics. Certain criteria must be met for a diagnostic trouble code to be
entered into the ECM memory. The criteria may be a
range of: engine rpm, engine temperature, time or
other input signals to the ECM. If all of the criteria
for monitoring a system or circuit are met, and a
problem is sensed, then a DTC will be stored in the
ECM memory. It is possible that a DTC for a monitored circuit may not be entered into the ECM memory, even though a malfunction has occurred. This
may happen when the monitoring criteria have not
been met. The ECM compares input signal voltages
from each input device with specifications (the established high and low limits of the input range) that
are programmed into it for that device. If the input
voltage is not within the specifications and other
trouble code criteria are met, a DTC will be stored in
the ECM memory.
ECM OPERATING MODES
As input signals to the ECM change, the ECM
adjusts its response to the output devices. For example, the ECM must calculate a different fuel quantity
and fuel timing for engine idle condition than it
would for a wide open throttle condition. There are
several different modes of operation that determine
how the ECM responds to the various input signals.

Ignition Switch On (Engine Off)
When the ignition is turned on, the ECM activates
the glow plug relay for a time period that is determined by engine coolant temperature, atmospheric
temperature and battery voltage.
Engine Start-Up Mode
The ECM uses the engine temperature sensor and
the crankshaft position sensor (engine speed) inputs
to determine fuel injection quantity.
Normal Driving Modes
Engine idle, warm-up, acceleration, deceleration
and wide open throttle modes are controlled based on
all of the sensor inputs to the ECM. The ECM uses
8Ea - 2
ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES
RG
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (Continued)
these sensor inputs to adjust fuel quantity and fuel
injector timing.
Limp-In Mode
If there is a fault detected with the accelerator
pedal position sensor, the ECM will set the engine
speed at 1100 RPM.
Overspeed Detection Mode
If the ECM detects engine RPM that exceeds 5200
RPM, the ECM will set a DTC in memory and illuminate the MIL until the DTC is cleared.
After-Run Mode
The ECM transfers RAM information to ROM and
performs an Input/Output state check.
MONITORED CIRCUITS
The ECM is able to monitor and identify most
driveability related trouble conditions. Some circuits
are directly monitored through ECM feedback circuitry. In addition, the ECM monitors the voltage
state of some circuits and compares those states with
expected values. Other systems are monitored indirectly when the ECM conducts a rationality test to
identify problems. Although most subsytems of the
engine control module are either directly or indirectly
monitored, there may be occasions when diagnostic
trouble codes are not immediately identified. For a
trouble code to set, a specific set of conditions must
occur and unless these conditions occur, a DTC will
not set.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
Each diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is diagnosed by
following a specific procedure. The diagnostic test
procedure contains step-by-step instruction for determining the cause of the DTC as well as no trouble
code problems. Refer to the appropriate Diesel Powertrain Diagnostic Manual for more information.
HARD CODE
A DTC that comes back within one cycle of the
ignition key is a hard code. This means that the
problem is current every time the ECM/SKIM checks
that circuit or function. Procedures in this manual
verify if the DTC is a hard code at the beginning of
each test. When the fault is not a hard code, an
intermittent test must be performed. NOTE: If the
DRBIIIt displays faults for multiple components (i.e.
ECT, VSS, IAT sensors) identify and check the
shared circuits for possible problems before continuing (i.e. sensor grounds or 5-volt supply circuits).
Refer to the appropriate schematic to identify shared
circuits. Refer to the appropriate Diesel Powertrain
Diagnostic Manual for more information.
INTERMITTENT CODE
A DTC that is not current every time the ECM/
SKIM checks the circuit or function is an intermittent code. Most intermittent DTCs are caused by
wiring or connector problems. Problems that come
and go like this are the most difficult to diagnose;
they must be looked for under specific conditions that
cause them. NOTE: Electromagnetic (radio)
interference can cause an intermittent system
malfunction. This interference can interrupt communication between the ignition key transponder and
the SKIM. The following checks may assist you in
identifying a possible intermittent problem:
• Visually inspect the related wire harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded
terminals.
• Visually inspect the related wire harness. Look
for chafed, pierced or partially broken wire.
• Refer to hotlines or technical service bulletins
that may apply. Refer to the appropriate Diesel Powertrain Diagnostic Manual for more information.
ECM DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before replacing the ECM for
a failed driver, control circuit or ground circuit, be
sure to check the related component/circuit integrity
for failures not detected due to a double fault in the
circuit. Most ECM driver/control circuit failures are
caused by internal failures to components (i.e. relays
and solenoids) and shorted circuits (i.e. sensor pullups, drivers and ground circuits). These faults are
difficult to detect when a double fault has occurred
and only one DTC has set. If the DRBIIIt displays
faults for multiple components (i.e.VSS, ECT, Batt
Temp, etc.) identify and check the shared circuits for
possible problems before continuing (i.e. sensor
grounds or 5-volt supply circuits). Refer to the appropriate wiring diagrams to identify shared circuits.
Refer to the appropriate Diesel Powertrain Diagnostic Manual for more information.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - PCM/ECM/SKIM

IGNITION CONTROL
DESCRIPTION - IGNITION SYSTEM
NOTE: All engines use a fixed ignition timing system. Basic ignition timing is not adjustable. All
spark advance is determined by the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM).
The distributorless ignition system used on these
engines is referred to as the Direct Ignition System
(DIS). The system’s three main components are the
coils, crankshaft position sensor, and camshaft position sensor. The coil on plug ignition system utilizes
an ignition coil for every cylinder, it is mounted
directly over the each spark plug.
OPERATION - IGNITION SYSTEM
The crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor are hall effect devices. The camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position sensor generate
pulses that are inputs to the PCM. The PCM determines engine position from these sensors. The PCM
calculates injector sequence and ignition timing from
crankshaft & camshaft position. For a description of
both sensors, refer to Camshaft Position Sensor and
Crankshaft Position Sensor.

AUTO SHUT DOWN RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The relay is located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC). For the location of the relay within the
PDC, refer to the PDC cover for location. Check electrical terminals for corrosion and repair as necessary
OPERATION
FIRING ORDER 2.4L
The ASD sense circuit informs the PCM when the
ASD relay energizes. A 12 volt signal at this input
indicates to the PCM that the ASD has been activated. This input is used only to sense that the ASD
relay is energized.
When energized, the ASD relay supplies battery
voltage to the fuel injectors, ignition coils and the
heating element in each oxygen sensor.
When energized, the ASD relay provides power to
operate the injectors, ignition coil, generator field, O2
sensor heaters (both upstream and downstream),
(EGR solenoid and PCV heater if equipped) and also
provides a sense circuit to the PCM for diagnostic
purposes. If the PCM does not receive 12 volts from
this input after grounding the ASD relay, it sets a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). The PCM energizes
the ASD any time there is a Crankshaft Position sensor signal that exceeds a predetermined value. The
ASD relay can also be energized after the engine has
been turned off to perform an O2 sensor heater test,
if vehicle is equipped with OBD II diagnostics.
As mentioned earlier, the PCM energizes the ASD
relay during an O2 sensor heater test. This test is
performed only after the engine has been shut off.
The PCM still operates internally to perform several
checks, including monitoring the O2 sensor heaters.

CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (Continued)
OPERATION
The camshaft position sensor provides cylinder
identification to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) (Fig. 1). The sensor generates pulses as
groups of notches on the camshaft sprocket pass
underneath it (Fig. 2). The PCM keeps track of
crankshaft rotation and identifies each cylinder by
the pulses generated by the notches on the camshaft
sprocket. Four crankshaft pulses follow each group of
camshaft pulses.
Fig. 1 Camshaft Position Sensor
1 - ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR
2 - O-RING
3 - PAPER SPACER
When the PCM receives 2 cam pulses followed by
the long flat spot on the camshaft sprocket, it knows
that the crankshaft timing marks for cylinder 1 are
next (on driveplate). When the PCM receives one
camshaft pulse after the long flat spot on the
sprocket, cylinder number 2 crankshaft timing marks
are next. After 3 camshaft pulses, the PCM knows
cylinder 4 crankshaft timing marks follow. One camshaft pulse after the 3 pulses indicates cylinder 5.
The 2 camshaft pulses after cylinder 5 signals cylinder 6 (Fig. 2). The PCM can synchronize on cylinders
1 or 4.
When metal aligns with the sensor, voltage goes
low (less than 0.3 volts). When a notch aligns with
the sensor, voltage switches high (5.0 volts). As a
group of notches pass under the sensor, the voltage
switches from low (metal) to high (notch) then back
to low. The number of notches determine the amount
of pulses. If available, an oscilloscope can display the
square wave patterns of each timing event.
Top Dead Center (TDC) does not occur when
notches on the camshaft sprocket pass below the cylinder. TDC occurs after the camshaft pulse (or
pulses) and after the 4 crankshaft pulses associated
with the particular cylinder. The arrows and cylinder
call outs on (Fig. 2) represent which cylinder the flat
spot and notches identify, they do not indicate TDC
position.

IGNITION COIL
DESCRIPTION
The ignition coil assembly consists of 2 or 3 independent coils molded together (Fig. 9) or (Fig. 10).
The coil assembly for the 3.3/3.8L is mounted on the
intake manifold. The coil assembly for the 2.4L is
mounted on the cylinder head cover. Spark plug
cables route to each cylinder from the coil.
OPERATION
The coil fires two spark plugs every power stroke.
One plug is the cylinder under compression, the
other cylinder fires on the exhaust stroke. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) determines which of
the coils to charge and fire at the correct time.
The Auto Shutdown (ASD) relay provides battery
voltage to the ignition coil. The PCM provides a
ground contact (circuit) for energizing the coil. When
the PCM breaks the contact, the magnetic energy in
the coil transfers to the secondary causing the spark.
The PCM will de-energize the ASD relay if it does
not receive the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor inputs. Refer to Auto Shutdown
(ASD) Relay—PCM Output, in this section for relay
operation.

DESCRIPTION
REMOVAL - 3.8L
The knock sensor threads into the cylinder block.
The knock sensor is designed to detect engine vibration that is caused by detonation.
OPERATION
When the knock sensor detects a knock in one of
the cylinders, it sends an input signal to the PCM. In
response, the PCM retards ignition timing for all cylinders by a scheduled amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric material
which constantly vibrates and sends an input voltage
(signal) to the PCM while the engine operates. As the
intensity of the crystal’s vibration increases, the
knock sensor output voltage also increases.
The voltage signal produced by the knock sensor
increases with the amplitude of vibration. The PCM
receives as an input the knock sensor voltage signal.
If the signal rises above a predetermined level, the
PCM will store that value in memory and retard
ignition timing to reduce engine knock. If the knock
sensor voltage exceeds a preset value, the PCM
retards ignition timing for all cylinders. It is not a
selective cylinder retard.
The PCM ignores knock sensor input during engine
idle conditions. Once the engine speed exceeds a
specified value, knock retard is allowed.
Knock retard uses its own short term and long
term memory program.
Long term memory stores previous detonation
information in its battery-backed RAM. The maximum authority that long term memory has over timing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard timing up
to a preset amount under all operating conditions (as

When replacing the spark plugs and spark plug
cables, route the cables correctly and secure them in
the appropriate retainers. Failure to route the cables
properly can cause the radio to reproduce ignition
noise, cross ignition of the spark plugs or short circuit the cables to ground.
(1) To avoid cross threading, start the spark plug
into the cylinder head by hand.
(2) Tighten spark plugs to 17.5 N·m (13 ft. lbs.)
torque.
(3) Install spark plug cables over spark plugs. A

attaches to the spark plug.
Spark Plug cables are sometimes referred to as
secondary ignition wires. The wires transfer electrical current from the ignition coil pack to individual
spark plugs at each cylinder. The resistive spark plug
cables are of nonmetallic construction. The cables
provide suppression of radio frequency emissions
from the ignition system.
Check the spark plug cable connections for good
contact at the coil, and spark plugs. Terminals should
be fully seated. The insulators should be in good condition and should fit tightly on the coil, and spark
plugs. Spark plug cables with insulators that are
cracked or torn must be replaced.
Clean Spark Plug cables with a cloth moistened
with a non-flammable solvent. Wipe the cables dry.
Check for brittle or cracked insulation. The spark
plug cables and spark plug boots are made from high
temperature silicone materials. All spark plug cable
leads are properly identified with cylinder numbers.
The inside of most the spark plug boot is coated with
a special high temperature silicone grease for greater
sealing and to minimize boot bonding to the spark
plug insulator.
REMOVAL
Failure to route the cables properly could cause the
radio to reproduce ignition noise, cross ignition of the

Remove spark plug cable from coil first.
Always remove the spark plug cable by grasping
the top of the spark plug insulator, turning the boot
1/2 turn and pulling straight up in a steady motion.
INSTALLATION
Failure to route the cables properly could cause the
radio to reproduce ignition noise, cross ignition of the

GLOW PLUG RELAY
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Glow plugs are used to help start a cold or cool
engine (Fig. 1). The glow plugs will heat up and glow
to heat the combustion chamber of each cylinder. An
individual glow plug is used for each cylinder. Each
glow plug is threaded into the left side of the cylinder
head below the cylinder head cover/intake manifold.
There are two glow plug relays. These relays are
located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) in
the engine compartment (Fig. 2).
Fig. 2 RELAY LOCATIONS
Fig. 1 GLOW PLUG
OPERATION
Each glow plug will momentarily draw approximately 25 amps of electrical current during the initial key “ON” cycle. This is on a cold or cool engine.
After heating the current draw will drop to approximately 9–12 amps per plug.
Total momentary cuurent draw for all four glow
plugs is approximately 100 amps on a cold engine
dropping to a total of approximately 40 amps after
the plugs are heated.
Electrical operation of the glow plugs is controlled
by two glow plug relays. Each glow plug relay controls two glow plugs. Refer to glow plug relays for
more information.

engine coolant temperature. This signal is sent from
the engine coolant temperature sensor.
After receiving this signal, the ECM will determine
if, when and for how long of a period the glow plug
relays should be activated. This is done before, during and after the engine is started. Whenever the
glow plug relays are activated, it will control the 12

seconds. Refer to the following Glow Plug Control
chart for a temperature/time comparison of the glow
plug relay operation.
In this chart, Pre-Heat and Post-Heat times are
mentioned. Pre-Heat is the amount of time the glow
plug relay control circuit is activated when the ignition (key) is switched ON, without the engine running. Post-Heat is the amount of time the glow plug
relay control circuit is activated after the engine is
operated. The Glow Plug lamp will not be activated

DESCRIPTION - THREE ZONE AUTOMATIC
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The Three-Zone Automatic Temperature Control
(ATC) allows occupants to select a comfort temperature, which is the perceived temperature level not
the actual passenger compartment air temperature.
The Three Zone Automatic Temperature Control
system includes a dust and odor air filter. The filter
element is the same size as the air conditioning evaporator to ensure ample capacity. A door at the base of
the heater and air conditioning housing below the
glove box provides easy access to the filter element.
The ATC computer utilizes integrated circuitry and
information carried on the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus network to monitor
many sensors and switch inputs throughout the vehicle. In response to those inputs, the internal circuitry
and programming of the ATC computer allow it to
control electronic functions and features of the ATC
system. The inputs to the ATC computer are:
• Vehicle Speed/Engine RPM – The ATC computer monitors engine RPM, vehicle speed and Manifold Absolute Pressure information from the PCM.
• Coolant Temperature – ATC computer monitors Coolant temperature received from the PCM and
converts it to degrees Fahrenheit.
• Ambient Temperature – ATC computer monitors Ambient temperature from the Compass Mini
Trip Computer (CMTC) and converts it to degrees
Fahrenheit.
• Engine Miscellaneous Sensor Status – ATC
computer monitors A/C disable information from the
PCM.
• Refrigerant Pressure – ATC computer monitors Barometric Pressure, Intake Air Temperature,
High Side Pressure and Methanol Content as broadcast by the PCM.
• Door Ajar Status – The ATC computer monitors Driver Front Door, Passenger Front Door, Left
Rear Door, Right Rear Door and Liftgate ajar information, as identified by the Body Control Module
(BCM), to determine if all in-car temperatures should
be maintained.
• Dimming – The ATC computer monitors dimming status from the BCM to determine the required
level of brightness and will dim accordingly.
• Vehicle Odometer – The ATC computer monitors the vehicle odometer information from the BCM
to prevent flashing the VF tube icons if the manual
motor calibration or manual cool down tests have
failed. Flashing of the display icons will cease when
the vehicle odometer is greater than 3 miles.
• English Metric – The ATC computer monitors
the English/Metric information broadcast by the
CMTC. The set temp displays for both the front and
rear control heads will be set accordingly.
• Vehicle Identification Number – The ATC
computer monitors the last eight characters of the
VIN broadcast by the PCM and compares it to the
information stored in EEPROM. If it is different, the
new number will be stored over the old one and a
motor calibration shall be initiated.
• A/C System Information – The ATC computer
will send a message for Evaporator Temperature too
Low, Fan Blower Relay status, Evaporator Sensor
Failure, Rear Window Defogger Relay and A/C Select.
FRONT CONTROL PANEL

which is controlled from the overhead console.
• A rocker switch that selects a cool-down rate.
LO-AUTO or HI-AUTO are displayed when the system is in automatic operation.
• A defroster button which turns on the defroster
independently during full automatic control. A
defroster symbol illuminates in the display when the
button is pressed.
• Air recirculation button. A Recirculation symbol
appears in the display when the button is pressed, or
when the system exceeds 80 percent circulated air
under automatic control due to high air conditioning
demand.
• Rear window defogger on/off switch. A graphic
symbol shows when the defroster is on.
• An air conditioning button that allows the compressor to be turned off. A Snowflake symbol is illuminated when air conditioning is on, whether under
manual or automatic control.
• Rotary knob for front fan speed selection can
override the automatic controls. LEDs surrounding
the knob show the current setting.
• Rotary knob for control of the Rear system.
• A rotary knob for mode control can override the
automatic controls. LEDs surrounding the knob show

HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING (Continued)
REAR CONTROL PANEL
Comfort temperature or perceived temperature is
affected by air flow, sun impinging on exposed skin,
etc. The air temperature may be higher or lower than
the comfort temperature. Three infrared sensors, two
in the instrument panel center stack, and one in the
overhead-mounted rear control panel, independently
measure the temperature of the driver, front passenger, and rear compartment occupants to determine
their comfort level relative to the selected comfort
temperature. The HVAC computer in the control
module adjusts the air flow rate and temperature to
maintain the customer-perceived comfort temperature. The air temperature in the passenger compartment at any time may be slightly higher or lower
than the comfort temperature. For instance, on
sunny summer days the air flow will probably be
cooler than the comfort temperature; on cold or
cloudy days and at night it will probably be slightly
warmer. Infrared Three-Zone Temperature Control
provides side-to-side and front-to-rear variation in
comfort temperature settings. The Infrared ThreeZone Automatic Temperature Control fan provides a
continuously variable air flow rate to meet occupant
comfort requirements.
Defogger and side view mirror (if equipped) circuitry.
The defogger function will be active for 10 minutes
and can be turned off by a switch press. The defogger
will function while the control is in the OFF mode.
• FAN/MODE – The Fan and Mode knobs have
17 manual selectable positions. Manually changing
either of the rotary knobs for mode or fan speed settings makes control of that function alone manual for
as long as the ignition is on. If only one is changed
manually, the other remains under automatic control.
Pressing the HI-AUTO/LO-AUTO rocker switch
restores full automatic control.
• REAR CONTROL – When the Rear System
control knob is moved to the OFF position, there will
be a delay of approximately 1 second before the system actually turns off. This delay is to prevent an
undesired blower dropout if the knob is moved
through OFF to the other selections.
• BLOWER DELAY TIMER – The word DELAY
is displayed at start-up to signify that the system is
waiting so that cold air will not be blowing. This tells
the operator that it is unnecessary to turn the system off, raise the temperature setting or turn the fan
speed setting down to prevent cold air from blowing.
A countdown in minutes and seconds until the engine
is warm enough to begin delivering heat to the passengers alternates with the DELAY message at 25
second intervals. This countdown is based on actual
measurement of the rate of engine coolant temperature change. During the delay time, Defrost mode is
selected and the fan operates at a low speed to keep
the windshield fog free.
FRONT CONTROL PANEL
REAR CONTROL PANEL
With the rear control active, temperature selection
dictates indirectly the mode (floor or overhead air) of
the rear unit: a low temperature setting directs flow
to the overhead outlets and a high temperature setting to the floor.
OPERATION - THREE ZONE ATC
• AUTO HI/LO – This system features two sets of
automatic control logic that allow either a rapid cooldown rate or a somewhat slower cool-down rate with
less fan noise. HI-AUTO controls the system to reach
its assigned temperature quickly with a higher fan
speed. LO-AUTO controls the system to reach its
assigned temperature somewhat slower with less fan
noise. Both modes will automatically engage auto
recirculation.
• DE-FROST – The front de-frost function is
active when the rear window defogger function is
active or when the defog/defrost mode is selected.
• RECIRC – The RECIRC button will close the
air inlet door. If the system is in auto recirc (indicator being displayed automatically), pressing the manual recirc button will disable the auto recirc function
until one of the auto keys are pressed or the ignition
is cycled. If Auto HI/LO is pressed while manual
recirc is active, manual recirc will be deactivated.
• REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER – Pushing the
button sends a PCI bus message to the Intelligent
Power Module which controls the Rear Window
Primary control of the rear compartment unit is in
the instrument panel center stack. The rear unit control knob there allows the driver to turn the rear
unit off, allow control by the intermediate seat occupants by switching to the REAR position, or provide
fully automatic control based on the temperature setting shown on the front control display.
• REAR CONTROL – Selecting automatic control
of the rear unit at the instrument panel, illuminates
a Locked Padlock in the rear control panel display.
Selecting REAR activates the rear control panel and
the Padlock then appears unlocked.
• FAN KNOB – The rear fan control has Off and
AUTO positions and a range of manual speed settings that override the AUTO setting.
• MODE KNOB – The mode control allows intermediate seat occupants to manually override the
automatic mode and select any balance of air flow
between overhead and floor outlets from full overhead to full floor.

PERFORMANCE TEST
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - A/C COOL DOWN
TEST
The heater-A/C control module can perform an A/C
cool down test, which is a test performed during the
manufacturing process to confirm that the air conditioning system is performing satisfactorily. This test
can also provide a quick confirmation of air conditioning system performance to the service technician.
If the test is completed satisfactorily, no further service is required. If the test is failed, proceed to the
A/C Performance Test to confirm the a/c system is
operating properly, or use a DRBIIIt scan tool to
diagnose the A/C system control and distribution systems. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
MANUAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The front blower speed and rear blower speed (if
equipped with rear HVAC) must be set to High and
the evaporator temperature sensor must be greater
than 55° F or the test will fail immediately. The test
is activated by depressing the A/C and PWR buttons
simultaneously and holding them depressed for no
less than five seconds. The PWR and A/C LEDs will
blink on and off until the test is complete. If the
LEDs stop blinking before two minutes, then the cool
down test has been completed successfully. If the two
minutes expire without the expansion valve temperature reaching 20° F less than the outside air temperature, then the cool down test has been failed and
further A/C system diagnosis is required. If the test
is failed, the LEDs will continue to blink until the
vehicle has been driven for greater than (8 miles).
AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The ambient air temperature in the room where
the vehicle will be tested must be a minimum of 21°
C (70°F) for this test. The test is activated by
depressing the A/C and PWR buttons simultaneously
and holding them depressed for no less than four seconds. The snowflake icon and the DELAY text in the
ATC display will blink on and off alternately until
the test is complete. If the snowflake icon and the
DELAY text stop blinking before two minutes, then
the cool down test has been completed successfully. If
the two minutes expire without the evaporator tem-
An air conditioning performance test is the best
way to determine whether the system is performing
up to standard. This test also provides valuable clues
as to the possible cause of trouble with the air conditioning system. The ambient air temperature in the
location where the vehicle will be tested must be a
minimum of 21° C (70°F) for this test.

input to the PCM will also prevent the air conditioning compressor clutch from engaging when ambient
temperatures are below about 10° C (50° F) due to
the pressure/temperature relationship of the refrigerant. The Schrader-type valve in the liquid line fitting
permits the A/C pressure transducer to be removed

The A/C pressure transducer (Fig. 2) is a switch
that is installed on a fitting located on the refrigerant liquid line between the filter-drier and the
expansion valve in the right rear corner of the engine
compartment. An internally threaded hex fitting on
the transducer connects it to the externally threaded
Schrader-type fitting on the liquid line. A rubber
O-ring seals the connection between the transducer
and the liquid line fitting. Three terminals within a
molded plastic connector receptacle on the top of the
transducer connect it to the vehicle electrical system
through a take out and connector of the headlamp
and dash wire harness.
The A/C pressure transducer cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it musty be
replaced.
The A/C pressure transducer is tested using a
DRBIIIt scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information. Before testing the A/C pressure
transducer, be certain that the transducer wire harness connection is clean of corrosion and properly
connected. For the air conditioning system to operate,
an A/C pressure transducer voltage reading between
0.451 and 4.519 volts is required. Voltages outside
this range indicate a low or high refrigerant system
pressure condition to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM is programmed to respond to a low
or high refrigerant system pressure by suppressing
operation of the compressor. Refer to the A/C Pressure Transducer Voltage table for the possible condition indicated by the transducer voltage readings.

BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR
DESCRIPTION
The blend door actuators are reversible, 12-volt
Direct Current (DC), servo motors. Models with the
single zone heater and air conditioner system have a
single blend air door, which is controlled by a single
blend door actuator. Models with the optional dual
zone front heater and air conditioner system have
dual blend air doors, which are controlled by two
blend door actuators. The single zone blend door
actuator is located on the driver side end of the heater-A/C housing unit, close to the dash panel. In the
dual zone system, the same blend door actuator used
for the single zone system becomes the passenger
blend door actuator, and is mechanically connected to
only the passenger side blend air door. In the dual
zone system, a second separate blend door actuator is
also located on the driver side end of the heater-A/C
housing unit close to the instrument panel, and is
mechanically connected to only the driver side blend
air door.
The blend door actuators are interchangeable with
each other, as well as with the actuators for the
mode door and the recirculation air door. Each actuator is contained within an identical black molded
plastic housing with an integral wire connector
receptacle. Two integral mounting tabs allow the
actuator to be secured with two screws to the heaterA/C unit housing. Each actuator also has an identical
output shaft with splines that connects it to the linkage that drives the proper blend air door. The blend
door actuators do not require mechanical indexing to
the blend door linkage, as they are electronically calibrated by the heater-A/C control module. The blend
door actuators cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if
damaged or faulty, they must be replaced.
OPERATION
Each blend door actuator is connected to the heater-A/C control module through the vehicle electrical
system by a dedicated two-wire take out and connector of the HVAC wire harness. The blend door actuator can move the blend air door in two directions.
When the heater-A/C control module pulls the voltage on one side of the motor connection high and the
other connection low, the blend air door will move in
one direction. When the module reverses the polarity
of the voltage to the motor, the blend air door moves
in the opposite direction. When the module makes
the voltage to both connections high or both connections low, the blend air door stops and will not move.
These same motor connections also provide a feedback signal to the heater-A/C control module. This
feedback signal allows the module to monitor the
operation and relative positions of the blend door
actuator and the blend air door. The heater-A/C control module learns the blend air door stop positions
during the calibration procedure and will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any problems it
detects in the blend door actuator circuits. The blend
door actuator can be diagnosed using a DRBIIIt scan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

The blower motor relay (Fig. 6) is a International
Standards Organization (ISO) mini-relay. Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical dimensions, current capacities, terminal
patterns, and terminal functions. The ISO mini-relay
terminal functions are the same as a conventional
ISO relay. However, the ISO mini-relay terminal pattern (or footprint) is different, the current capacity is
lower, and the physical dimensions are smaller than
those of the conventional ISO relay. The blower
motor relay is located in the Intelligent Power Module (IPM), which is in the engine compartment near
the battery. See the fuse and relay layout map
molded into the inner surface of the IPM cover for
blower motor relay identification and location.
The black, molded plastic case is the most visible
component of the blower motor relay. Five male
spade-type terminals extend from the bottom of the
base to connect the relay to the vehicle electrical system, and the ISO designation for each terminal is
molded into the base adjacent to each terminal.
OPERATION
The blower motor relay is an electromechanical
switch that uses a low current input from the Front
Control Module (FCM) to control the high current
output to the blower motor resistor (manual heaterA/C control) or blower power module (ATC control).
The movable common feed contact point is held
against the fixed normally closed contact point by
spring pressure. When the relay coil is energized, an
electromagnetic field is produced by the coil windings. This electromagnetic field draws the movable
relay contact point away from the fixed normally
closed contact point, and holds it against the fixed
normally open contact point. When the relay coil is
de-energized, spring pressure returns the movable
contact point back against the fixed normally closed
contact point. The resistor or diode is connected in
parallel with the relay coil in the relay, and helps to
dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be generated as the electromagnetic
field of the relay coil collapses.
The blower motor relay terminals are connected to
the vehicle electrical system through a receptacle in
the Intelligent Power Module (IPM). The inputs and
outputs of the blower motor relay include:
• The common feed terminal (30) receives a battery current input from the battery through a B(+)
circuit at all times.
• The coil ground terminal (85) receives a ground
input through the front/rear blower motor relay control circuit only when the FCM electronically pulls
the control circuit to ground.
• The coil battery terminal (86) receives a battery
current input from the battery through a B(+) circuit
at all times.
• The normally open terminal (87) provides a battery current output to the blower motor resistor
(manual heater-A/C control) or blower power module
(automatic heater-A/C control) through a fuse in the
IPM on the fused front blower motor relay output circuit only when the blower motor relay coil is energized.
• The normally closed terminal (87A) is not connected to any circuit in this application, but provides
a battery current output only when the blower motor
relay coil is de-energized.

EVAPORATOR HOUSING
A blower motor resistor is used on this model when
it is equipped with the manual heater-A/C control
(Fig. 9). Models equipped with the optional Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) use a blower power
module, instead of the blower motor resistor. The
blower motor resistor is installed in a mounting hole
in the heater/AC housing, directly behind the glove
box opening of the instrument panel. The resistor
consists of a molded plastic mounting plate with two
integral connector receptacles. Concealed behind the
mounting plate within the heater/AC housing are
four coiled resistor wires contained within a protective stamped steel cage. The resistor mounting plate
is secured with two screws to the heater/AC housing
and is accessed for service by rolling down the glove
box from the instrument panel.
The blower motor resistor wires will get hot when
in use. Do not touch the resistor wires or the protective cage if the blower motor has been running. The
blower motor resistor cannot be adjusted or repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The blower motor resistor is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out
and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
A second connector receptacle receives the pigtail
wire connector from the blower motor. The blower
motor resistor has multiple resistor wires, each of
24 - 15
which will reduce the current flow through the
blower motor to change the blower motor speed. The
blower motor switch in the manual heater-A/C control directs the ground path for the blower motor
through the correct resistor wire to obtain the
selected speed. With the blower motor switch in the
lowest speed position, the ground path for the motor
is applied through all of the resistor wires. Each
higher speed selected with the blower motor switch
applies the blower motor ground path through fewer
of the resistor wires, increasing the blower motor
speed. When the blower motor switch is in the highest speed position, the blower motor resistor wires
are bypassed and the blower motor receives a direct
path to ground through the blower motor switch. The
blower motor resistor may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and methods.

If a new clutch plate and/or clutch pulley are being
used, the air gap between the clutch plate and clutch
pulley must be checked using the following procedure:
(1) Using feeler gauges, measure the air gap
between the clutch plate and the clutch pulley friction surfaces.
(2) If the air gap is not between 0.5 and 0.9 mm
(0.020 and 0.035 in.), add or subtract shims until the
desired air gap is obtained.
The compressor clutch plate and pulley unit, or the
clutch coil are available for separate service replacement. The clutch coil zener diode is integral to the
clutch coil pigtail wire and connector and, if faulty or
damaged, the clutch electromagnetic coil unit must
be replaced.
NOTE: The shims may compress after tightening
the compressor shaft bolt. Check the air gap in four
or more places on the clutch plate to verify that the
air gap is still correct. Spin the clutch pulley before
making the final air gap check.
OPERATION
STANDARD PROCEDURE - COMPRESSOR
CLUTCH BREAK-IN
The compressor clutch components provide the
means to engage and disengage the compressor from
the engine serpentine accessory drive belt. When the
clutch coil is energized, it magnetically draws the
clutch plate into contact with the clutch pulley and
drives the compressor shaft. When the coil is not
energized, the pulley freewheels on the clutch hub
bearing, which is part of the pulley.
A zener diode is connected in parallel with the
clutch electromagnetic coil. This diode controls the
dissipation of voltage induced into the coil windings
by the collapsing of the electromagnetic fields that
occurs when the compressor clutch is disengaged.
The zener diode dissipates this induced voltage by
regulating a current path to ground. This arrangement serves to protect other circuits and components
from potentially damaging voltage spikes in the vehicle electrical system that might occur if the voltage
induced in the clutch coil windings could not be dissipated.
The compressor clutch engagement is controlled by
several components: the heater-A/C controls in the
passenger compartment, the A/C pressure transducer
on the liquid line, the evaporator temperature sensor
on the expansion valve, the Powertrain Control Mod-
After a new compressor clutch has been installed,
check that the compressor clutch coil is performing to
specifications. (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/CONTROLS - FRONT/COMPRESSOR
CLUTCH COIL - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If
the clutch coil is performing to specifications, perform the compressor clutch break-in procedure. This
procedure (burnishing) will seat the opposing friction
surfaces and provide a higher compressor clutch
torque capability.
(1) Set the heater-A/C controls to the A/C mode,
with the blower switch in the highest speed position.
(2) Start the engine and hold the engine speed at
1500 to 2000 rpm.
(3) Cycle the compressor clutch On and Off about
twenty times (five seconds On, then five seconds Off).
REMOVAL
The refrigerant system can remain fully charged
during compressor clutch, pulley, or coil replacement.
Although the compressor assembly must be removed
from its mounting, the compressor clutch can be service with the compressor in the vehicle.

COMPRESSOR CLUTCH RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The compressor clutch relay (Fig. 17) is a International Standards Organization (ISO) micro-relay.
Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have
common physical dimensions, current capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal functions. The ISO
micro-relay terminal functions are the same as a conventional ISO relay. However, the ISO micro-relay
terminal pattern (or footprint) is different, the current capacity is lower, and the physical dimensions
are smaller than those of the conventional ISO relay.
The compressor clutch relay is located in the Intelli-
gent Power Module (IPM), which is in the engine
compartment near the battery. See the fuse and relay
layout map molded into the inner surface of the IPM
cover for compressor clutch relay identification and
location.
The black, molded plastic case is the most visible
component of the compressor clutch relay. Five male
spade-type terminals extend from the bottom of the
base to connect the relay to the vehicle electrical system, and the ISO designation for each terminal is
molded into the base adjacent to each terminal.
OPERATION
The compressor clutch relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current input from the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to control the high
current output to the compressor clutch electromagnetic coil. The movable common feed contact point is
held against the fixed normally closed contact point
by spring pressure. When the relay coil is energized,
an electromagnetic field is produced by the coil windings. This electromagnetic field draws the movable
relay contact point away from the fixed normally
closed contact point, and holds it against the fixed
normally open contact point. When the relay coil is
de-energized, spring pressure returns the movable
contact point back against the fixed normally closed
contact point. The resistor or diode is connected in
parallel with the relay coil in the relay, and helps to
dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be generated as the electromagnetic
field of the relay coil collapses.
The compressor clutch relay terminals are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
receptacle in the Intelligent Power Module (IPM).
The inputs and outputs of the compressor clutch
relay include:
• The common feed terminal (30) receives a battery current input from a fuse in the IPM through a
fused B(+) circuit at all times.
• The coil ground terminal (85) receives a ground
input from the PCM through the compressor clutch
relay control circuit only when the PCM electronically pulls the control circuit to ground.
• The coil battery terminal (86) receives a battery
current input from the PCM through a fused ignition
switch output (run-start) circuit only when the ignition switch is in the On or Start positions.
• The normally open terminal (87) provides a battery current output to the compressor clutch coil
through the compressor clutch relay output circuit
only when the compressor clutch relay coil is energized.
• The normally closed terminal (87A) is not connected to any circuit in this application, but provides
24 - 22

a battery current output only when the compressor
clutch relay coil is de-energized.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, further details
on wire harness routing and retention, as well as
pin-out and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices, and grounds.

The compressor clutch relay (Fig. 17) is located in
the Intelligent Power Module (IPM), which is in the
engine compartment near the battery. See the fuse

of the IPM cover for compressor clutch relay identification and location. Remove the relay from the IPM
to perform the following tests:
(1) A relay in the de-energized position should
have continuity between terminals 87A and 30, and
no continuity between terminals 87 and 30. If OK, go
to Step 2. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(2) Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (electromagnet) should be 75 ± 5 ohms. If OK, go to Step
3. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(3) Connect a battery to terminals 85 and 86.
There should now be continuity between terminals
30 and 87, and no continuity between terminals 87A

INSTALLATION
The evaporator temperature sensor cannot be
adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it
must be replaced.
OPERATION
The evaporator temperature sensor monitors the
temperature of the evaporator through its connection
to the top of the expansion valve. The sensor will
change its internal resistance in response to the temperatures it monitors. The heater-A/C control module
is connected to the sensor through a sensor ground
circuit and a sensor signal circuit. As the evaporator
temperature increases, the resistance of the sensor
decreases and the voltage monitored by the module
decreases. The module uses this monitored voltage
reading to an indication of the evaporator temperature. The heater-A/C control module is programmed
to respond to this input by sending electronic messages to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over
the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI)
data bus, and the PCM then cycles the air conditioning compressor clutch as necessary to optimize air
conditioning system performance and to protect the
system from evaporator freezing. The external location of the sensor and the use of a screw allows the
sensor to be removed or installed from the expansion
valve without disturbing the refrigerant in the system. The evaporator temperature sensor is diagnosed
using a DRBIIIt scan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.
(1) Position the evaporator temperature sensor

clear lens located near the bottom of the center panel
outlet near the top of the instrument panel center
bezel (Fig. 19). These sensors are used only on models equipped with the optional Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) heating and air conditioning
system. A molded plastic connector receptacle on the
bottom of the panel outlet unit is concealed behind
the center bezel. A short, dedicated jumper wire harness routed behind the center bezel connects the sensors directly to the ATC heater-A/C control module
near the bottom of the center bezel. The infrared
temperature sensor is integral to the center bezel
panel outlet unit. The infrared sensors cannot be

OPERATION
The dual infrared temperature sensors provide
independent measurement inputs to the Automatic

driver seat and front seat passenger seat occupants.
By using a surface temperature measurement, rather
than an air temperature measurement, the ATC system is able to adjust itself to the comfort level as perceived by the occupant. This allows the system to
detect and compensate for other ambient conditions
affecting comfort levels, such as solar heat gain or

Direct Current (DC), servo motor (Fig. 20). The single mode door actuator is located on the driver side
end of the heater-A/C housing unit, close to the top of
the distribution housing. The mode door actuator is
mechanically connected to the mode door. The mode
door actuator is interchangeable with the actuators
for the blend air door(s) and the recirculation air
door. Each actuator is contained within an identical
black molded plastic housing with an integral wire
connector receptacle. Two integral mounting tabs
allow the actuator to be secured with two screws to
the heater-A/C unit housing. Each actuator also has
an identical output shaft with splines that connects

it to the linkage that drives the mode door. The mode
door actuator does not require mechanical indexing
to the mode door linkage, as it is electronically calibrated by the heater-A/C control module. The mode
door actuator cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if
damaged or faulty, it must be replaced.
(3) Disconnect the HVAC wire harness connector
for the mode door actuator from the actuator connector receptacle (Fig. 21).
OPERATION
The mode door actuator is connected to the heaterA/C control module through the vehicle electrical system by a dedicated two-wire take out and connector
of the HVAC wire harness. The mode door actuator
can move the mode door in two directions. When the
heater-A/C control module pulls the voltage on one
side of the motor connection high and the other connection low, the mode door will move in one direction.
When the module reverses the polarity of the voltage
to the motor, the mode door moves in the opposite
direction. When the module makes the voltage to
both connections high or both connections low, the
mode door stops and will not move. These same
motor connections also provide a feedback signal to
the heater-A/C control module. This feedback signal
allows the module to monitor the operation and relative position of the mode door actuator and the mode
door. The heater-A/C control module learns the mode
door stop positions during the calibration procedure
and will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for
any problems it detects in the mode door actuator
circuits. The mode door actuator can be diagnosed
using a DRBIIIt scan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.
(4) Remove the two screws that secure the mode
door actuator to the distribution housing.
(5) Remove the mode door actuator from the distribution housing.

box from the instrument panel.
The power module heat sink will get hot when in
use. Do not touch the heat sink if the blower motor
has been running. The blower power module cannot
be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it
must be replaced.
OPERATION
The blower power module is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out
and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
A second connector receptacle receives the pigtail
wire connector from the blower motor. The blower
power module allows the microprocessor-based Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) heater-A/C control
module to calculate and provide infinitely variable
blower motor speeds based upon either manual
blower switch input or the ATC programming using a
Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) circuit strategy. The
PWM voltage is applied to a comparator circuit
which compares the PWM signal voltage to the
blower motor feedback voltage. The resulting output
drives the power module circuitry, which adjusts the
voltage output received from the blower motor relay
to change or maintain the desired blower speed. The
blower power module is diagnosed using a DRBIIIt
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

terminal functions are the same as a conventional
ISO relay. However, the ISO mini-relay terminal pattern (or footprint) is different, the current capacity is
lower, and the physical dimensions are smaller than
those of the conventional ISO relay. The blower
motor relay is located in the Intelligent Power Module (IPM), which is in the engine compartment near
the battery. See the fuse and relay layout map
molded into the inner surface of the IPM cover for
compressor clutch relay identification and location.
The black, molded plastic case is the most visible
component of the blower motor relay. Five male
spade-type terminals extend from the bottom of the
base to connect the relay to the vehicle electrical system, and the ISO designation for each terminal is
molded into the base adjacent to each terminal. The
ISO terminal designations are as follows:
• 30 (Common Feed) - This terminal is connected to the movable contact point of the relay.
• 85 (Coil Ground) - This terminal is connected
to the ground feed side of the relay control coil.
• 86 (Coil Battery) - This terminal is connected
to the battery feed side of the relay control coil.
• 87 (Normally Open) - This terminal is connected to the normally open fixed contact point of the
relay.
• 87A (Normally Closed) - This terminal is connected to the normally closed fixed contact point of
the relay.
The factory-installed blower motor relay cannot be
adjusted or repaired. If the relay is damaged or
faulty, it must be replaced.

The blower motor relay is an electromechanical
switch that uses a low current input from the Front
Control Module (FCM) to control the high current
output to the blower motor resistor (manual heaterA/C control) or blower power module (automatic heater-A/C control). The movable common feed contact
point is held against the fixed normally closed contact point by spring pressure. When the relay coil is
energized, an electromagnetic field is produced by the
coil windings. This electromagnetic field draws the
movable relay contact point away from the fixed normally closed contact point, and holds it against the
fixed normally open contact point. When the relay
coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns the movable contact point back against the fixed normally
closed contact point. The resistor or diode is connected in parallel with the relay coil in the relay, and
helps to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic
interference that can be generated as the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.

The blower motor relay terminals are connected to
the vehicle electrical system through a receptacle in
the Intelligent Power Module (IPM). The inputs and
outputs of the compressor clutch relay include:
• The common feed terminal (30) receives a battery current input from the battery through a B(+)
circuit at all times.
• The coil ground terminal (85) receives a ground
input through the front/rear blower motor relay control circuit only when the FCM electronically pulls
the control circuit to ground.
• The coil battery terminal (86) receives a battery
current input from the battery through a B(+) circuit
at all times.
• The normally open terminal (87) provides a battery current output to the blower motor resistor
(manual heater-A/C control) or blower power module
(automatic heater-A/C control) through a fuse in the
IPM on the fused rear blower motor relay output circuit only when the blower motor relay coil is energized.

The rear blower motor relay (Fig. 6) is located in
the Intelligent Power Module (IPM), which is in the
engine compartment near the battery. See the fuse
and relay layout map molded into the inner surface
of the IPM cover for rear blower motor relay identification and location. Remove the relay from the IPM
to perform the following tests:
(1) A relay in the de-energized position should
have continuity between terminals 87A and 30, and
no continuity between terminals 87 and 30. If OK, go
to Step 2. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(2) Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (electromagnet) should be 75 ± 5 ohms. If OK, go to Step
3. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(3) Connect a battery to terminals 85 and 86.
There should now be continuity between terminals
30 and 87, and no continuity between terminals 87A
and 30. If OK, use a DRBIIIt scan tool to perform
further diagnosis of the relay circuits. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information. If not OK,
replace the faulty relay.

BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR
DESCRIPTION
A blower motor resistor is used on this model when
it is equipped with the manual heater-A/C control
(Fig. 8). Models equipped with the optional Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) use a blower power
module, instead of the blower motor resistor. The
blower motor resistor is installed in a mounting hole
on the back of the rear heater-A/C unit housing,
directly above the expansion valve. The resistor consists of a molded plastic mounting plate with an integral connector receptacle. Concealed behind the
mounting plate within the rear heater-A/C unit housing are two coiled resistor wires contained within a
protective stamped steel cage. The resistor mounting
plate is secured with two screws to the rear heaterA/C unit housing and is accessed for service by
removing the right quarter and D-pillar trim panels.
The blower motor resistor wires will get hot when
in use. Do not touch the resistor wires or the protective cage if the blower motor has been running. The
blower motor resistor cannot be adjusted or repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The blower motor resistor is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out
and connector of the rear HVAC wire harness. The
blower motor resistor has two resistor wires, each of
which will reduce the current flow through the
blower motor to change the blower motor speed. The
blower motor switch in the manual heater-A/C con-

trol directs the ground path for the blower motor
through the correct resistor wire to obtain the
selected speed. With the blower motor switch in the
lowest speed position, the ground path for the motor
is applied through both resistor wires. Each higher
speed selected with the blower motor switch applies
the blower motor ground path through fewer of the
resistor wires, increasing the blower motor speed.
When the blower motor switch is in the highest
speed position, the blower motor resistor wires are
bypassed and the blower motor receives a direct path
to ground through the blower motor switch. The
blower motor resistor may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and methods.

INFRARED TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The rear infrared temperature sensor consists of
an infrared transducer that is concealed behind the
lens of the rear heater-A/C control in the headliner.
This sensor is used only on models equipped with the
optional Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) heating and air conditioning system. The rear infrared
temperature sensor is integral to the rear heater-A/C
control. The infrared sensor cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the rear heaterA/C control unit must be replaced.

(6) Carefully pull the top of the rear heater-A/C
unit housing away from the right quarter inner panel
far enough to reach between the rear heater-A/C unit
housing and the quarter inner panel to access the
mode door actuator (Fig. 10).
OPERATION
The rear infrared temperature sensor provides an
independent measurement input to the Automatic
Temperature Control (ATC) heater-A/C control module that indicates the surface temperature of the rear
seat occupants. By using a surface temperature measurement, rather than an air temperature measurement, the ATC system is able to adjust itself to the
comfort level as perceived by the occupant. This
allows the system to detect and compensate for other
ambient conditions affecting comfort levels, such as
solar heat gain or evaporative heat loss. The ATC
system logic responds to the infrared sensor input by
calculating and adjusting the air flow temperature
and air flow rate needed to properly obtain and
maintain the selected comfort level temperatures for
the rear seat occupants. The ATC heater-A/C control
module continually monitors the infrared sensor circuit, and will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
for any problem it detects. This DTC information can
be retrieved and the infrared temperature sensor
diagnosed using a DRBIIIt scan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

integral connector receptacles. Concealed behind the
mounting plate within the evaporator housing is the
power module electronic circuitry and a large finned,
heat sink. The module mounting plate is secured
with two screws to the rear heater-A/C unit housing
and is accessed for service by removing the right

has been running. The blower power module cannot
be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it
must be replaced.
OPERATION
The blower power module is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out
and connector of the rear HVAC wire harness. A second connector receptacle receives the pigtail wire
connector from the blower motor. The blower power
module allows the microprocessor-based Automatic
Temperature Control (ATC) heater-A/C control module to calculate and provide infinitely variable blower
motor speeds based upon either manual blower
switch input or the ATC programming using a Pulse
Width Modulated (PWM) circuit strategy. The PWM

voltage is applied to a comparator circuit which compares the PWM signal voltage to the blower motor
feedback voltage. The resulting output drives the
power module circuitry, which adjusts the voltage
output received from the blower motor relay to
change or maintain the desired blower speed. The
blower power module is diagnosed using a DRBIIIt
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

A dust and odor air filter is standard equipment on
models equipped with the dual zone or three zone
temperature control systems (Fig. 1). The filter element is the same size as the front air conditioner
evaporator to ensure ample filtering capacity. A
removable door on the bottom of the front heater-A/C
unit housing below the glove box provides easy access
to the filter element for replacement. Filter replacement is recommended at 24,000 kilometer (15,000
mile) intervals.

AIR OUTLETS
DESCRIPTION
Based upon the system mode selected, conditioned
air can exit the front heater-A/C unit housing
through one or a combination of the four main housing outlets: defrost, demist, panel, or floor. Once the
conditioned air exits the unit housing, it is directed
through molded plastic ducts to the various outlets in
the vehicle interior. These outlets and their locations
are as follows:
• Defroster Outlet - A single, centrally mounted
outlet delivers air for defrosting the large windshield.
Because outlet vanes are not needed to direct flow, a
simple, integral grid is molded into the center of the
instrument panel top cover to prevent objects from
falling into the duct. If the defroster outlet is faulty
RS
DISTRIBUTION - FRONT

or damaged, the instrument panel top cover must be
replaced.
• Demister Outlets - There are two side window
demisters that aid in defogging and defrosting the
front door windows. One demister outlet is located at
each outboard end of the instrument panel top pad,
near the belt line at the A-pillars. The demister outlets can be removed from the top pad individually for
service replacement.
• Instrument Panel Outlets - There are five
panel outlets in the instrument panel, one located
near each outboard end of the instrument panel facing the rear of the vehicle, and three located near the
top of the instrument panel center bezel. On models
with manual temperature control, all five of these
outlets are fully adjustable. On models with Automatic Temperature Control (ATC), the center outlet
in the center bezel has fixed vanes because it also
houses the remote infrared temperature sensors for
the front seat positions. The outboard outlets can be
removed individually for service replacement. The
center bezel outlets are serviced as a gang of three
outlets and, on models with ATC, also includes the
infrared sensors.
• Front Door Rear Outlets - A fully adjustable
outlet located at the rear of each front door trim
panel supplies only cooled air to the intermediate
seat passengers. Air is supplied to these outlets from
the instrument panel through ducts in the doors that
use molded seals at the instrument panel to prevent
air leakage. The door ducts are integral to the front
door trim panels. These outlets also incorporate a red
reflector to improve the safety and visibility of an
opened front door to traffic approaching the vehicle
from the rear at night. These outlets can be removed
from the door trim panels for service replacement.
• Front Floor Outlets - There are two front floor
outlets, one located above each side of the floor panel
center tunnel below the instrument panel. These outlets are integral to the front heater-A/C unit distribution housing.
• Rear Floor Outlets - Wide rear floor outlets
located under each front seat have integral, fixed
directional dividers to distribute heated air across
the floor for intermediate seat passengers. These outlets are integral to the floor distribution ducts routed
under the front floor carpet from an outlet nozzle on
the bottom of the front heater-A/C unit distribution
housing.

MOUNTING TABS
The blower motor is a 12-volt, Direct Current (DC)
motor with a squirrel cage-type blower wheel that is
secured to the blower motor shaft (Fig. 7). The
blower motor and wheel are located near the passenger side end of the heater-A/C unit within the two
halves of the intake air housing in the passenger
compartment below the instrument panel. The
blower motor and blower motor wheel are a factory
balanced unit and cannot be adjusted or repaired. If
faulty or damaged, the blower motor and blower
wheel must be replaced as a unit.
OPERATION
The blower motor will operate whenever the ignition switch is in the On position and the heater-A/C
control power is turned on. The blower motor can
only be turned off by turning off the power at the
heater-A/C control. The blower motor receives battery
current whenever the front blower motor relay is
energized. The front blower motor relay output circuit is protected by a fuse in the Intelligent Power
Module (IPM) located in the engine compartment
near the battery. In the Manual system, the blower
motor speed is controlled by regulating the path to
ground through the blower control switch and the
blower motor resistor. In the ATC system, the blower
motor speed is controlled by an electronic blower
power module, which uses a pulse width modulated
input from the ATC module and feedback from the
blower motor to regulate the blower motor ground

path it provides. The blower motor and wheel are
used to control the velocity of air moving through the
heater-A/C unit housing. The blower motor controls
the velocity of the air flowing through the heater-A/C
housing by spinning the blower wheel within the
housing at the selected speed or, in the ATC system,
at the selected or programmed speed.

AIR OUTLETS
DESCRIPTION
Based upon the system mode selected, conditioned
air can exit the rear heater-A/C unit housing through
one or a combination of the two main housing outlets: air conditioner, or heater. Once the conditioned
air exits the unit housing, it is directed through
molded plastic ducts to the various outlets in the
vehicle interior. These outlets and their locations are
as follows:
• Floor Outlets - Three floor outlets with fixed
vanes are located in the right quarter trim panel,
near the floor. These outlets distribute air from the
rear heater distribution duct to the intermediate and
rear seat occupants. The floor outlets are integral to
the right quarter trim panel and, if faulty or damaged, the quarter trim panel must be replaced.
• Overhead Outlets - Four (two right side and
two left side) fully adjustable outlets along the roof
rails distribute air from the rear A/C distribution
duct and the headliner ducts to the intermediate and
rear seat occupants. The headliner ducts are integral
to the headliner panel. Each overhead outlet is
housed in a headliner bezel. The two forward headliner bezels also feature a courtesy lamp, a fold-away
coat hook, and a fold-away assist handle. The overhead outlets can be removed from the headliner
bezels individually for service replacement.

BLOWER PIGTAIL WIRE
The blower motor is a 12-volt, Direct Current (DC)
motor with a squirrel cage-type blower wheel that is
secured to the blower motor shaft (Fig. 3). The
blower motor and wheel are located in a housing
near the top of the rear heater-A/C unit in the passenger compartment behind the right rear wheel
house. The rear heater-A/C unit housing must be
removed from the vehicle to access the blower motor
and blower wheel for service. The blower motor and
blower motor wheel are a factory balanced unit and
cannot be adjusted or repaired. If faulty or damaged,
the blower motor and blower wheel must be replaced
as a unit.
OPERATION
The rear blower motor will operate whenever the
ignition switch is in the On position, the heater-A/C
control power is turned on, and the rear heater-A/C

system control switch on the front heater-A/C control
is not in the Off position. The blower motor can only
be turned off by turning off the rear system at the
front heater-A/C control. The blower motor receives
battery current whenever the rear blower motor
relay is energized. The rear blower motor relay output circuit is protected by a fuse in the Intelligent
Power Module (IPM) located in the engine compartment near the battery. In the MTC system, the
blower motor speed is controlled by regulating the
path to ground through the blower control switch and
the blower motor resistor. In the ATC system, the
blower motor speed is controlled by an electronic
blower power module, which uses a pulse width modulated input from the ATC module and feedback from
the blower motor to regulate the blower motor
ground path it provides. The blower motor and wheel
are used to control the velocity of air moving through
the rear heater-A/C unit housing. The blower motor
controls the velocity of the air flowing through the
rear heater-A/C housing by spinning the blower
wheel within the housing at the selected speed or, in
the ATC system, at the selected or programmed
speed.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BLOWER MOTOR

CAUTION - A/C PLUMBING
CAUTION:: Liquid refrigerant is corrosive to metal
surfaces. Follow the operating instructions supplied
with the service equipment being used.
CAUTION: Never add R-12 to a refrigerant system
designed to use R-134a. Damage to the system will
result.
CAUTION: R-12 refrigerant oil must not be mixed
with R-134a refrigerant oil. They are not compatible.
CAUTION: Do not use R-12 equipment or parts on
the R-134a system. Damage to the system will
result. All parts, tools, and equipment must be
designed for R-134a refrigerant.
CAUTION: Do not discharge refrigerant into the
atmosphere. Use an R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling device that meets SAE Standard J2210.
CAUTION: The refrigerant must be recovered completely from the system before opening any fitting
or connection. Open the fittings with caution, even
after the system has been discharged. If any pressure is noticed as a fitting is loosened, tighten the
fitting and recover the refrigerant from the system
again.
CAUTION: The refrigerant system must always be
evacuated before charging.
CAUTION: Do not overcharge the refrigerant system. This will cause excessive compressor head
pressure and can cause noise and system failure.
CAUTION: Do not open the refrigerant system or
remove the sealing caps from a replacement component until it is to be installed. This will prevent
contamination in the system.
CAUTION: Before disconnecting a component,
clean the outside of the fittings thoroughly to prevent contamination from entering the refrigerant
system.
CAUTION: When it is necessary to open the refrigerant system, have everything needed to service
the system ready. Immediately after disconnecting a
component from the refrigerant system, seal the
open fittings with a cap or plug to prevent the
entrance of dirt and moisture. The refrigerant system should not be left open to the atmosphere any
longer than necessary.
CAUTION: Before connecting an open refrigerant
fitting, always install a new seal or gasket. All fittings with O-rings need to be coated with refrigerant oil before installation. Use only O-rings that are
the correct size and approved for use with R-134a
refrigerant. Failure to do so may result in a leak.
Coat the fitting and seal with clean refrigerant oil
before connecting. Unified plumbing connections
with gaskets cannot be serviced with O-rings. The
gaskets are not reusable and new gaskets do not
require lubrication before installing.
CAUTION: When installing a refrigerant line, avoid
sharp bends that may restrict refrigerant flow. A
good rule for the flexible hose refrigerant lines is to
keep the radius of all bends at least ten times the
diameter of the hose. Sharp bends will reduce the
flow of refrigerant.
CAUTION: Position the refrigerant lines away from
exhaust system components or any sharp edges,
which may damage the line. The flexible hose lines
should be routed so they are at least 80 millimeters
(3 inches) from the exhaust manifold. Inspect all
flexible refrigerant system hose lines at least once
a year to make sure they are in good condition and
properly routed.
CAUTION: High pressures are produced in the
refrigerant system when it is operating. Extreme
care must be exercised to make sure that all refrigerant system connections are pressure tight.
CAUTION: Tighten refrigerant fittings only to the
specified torque. The aluminum fittings used in the
refrigerant system will not tolerate overtightening.
CAUTION: When disconnecting a refrigerant fitting,
use a wrench on both halves of the fitting. This will
prevent twisting of the refrigerant lines or tubes.
CAUTION: Refrigerant oil will absorb moisture from
the atmosphere if left uncapped. Do not open a
container of refrigerant oil until you are ready to
use it. Replace the cap on the oil container immediately after using. Store refrigerant oil only in a
clean, airtight, and moisture-free container.

PLUMBING - FRONT (Continued)
CAUTION: All tools, including the refrigerant recycling equipment, the manifold gauge set, and test
hoses should be kept clean and dry. Keep the work
area clean. Contamination of the refrigerant system
through careless work habits must be avoided. The
refrigerant system will remain chemically stable as
long as pure, moisture-free R-134a refrigerant and
refrigerant oil is used. Dirt, moisture, or air can
upset this chemical stability. Operational troubles
or serious damage can occur if foreign material is
introduced to the refrigerant system.

The compressor used on this vehicle can be one of
two models, depending upon the air conditioning system in the vehicle. All vehicles use the Nippondenso
10S20 compressor. This compressor use an aluminum
swash plate, teflon coated pistons and aluminum
sleeveless cylinder walls. This compressor includes
an integral high pressure relief valve. The compressor is secured low in the right front corner of the
engine compartment to a mounting bracket on the
cylinder block (2.4L engine), or directly to the cylinder block (3.3L and 3.8L engines) is integral to the
compressor. This compressor cannot be repaired. If
faulty or damaged, the entire compressor must be
replaced. The compressor clutch, pulley, and clutch
coil are available for service replacement.
OPERATION
The compressor is driven by the engine through an
electric clutch, drive pulley and belt arrangement.
The compressor is lubricated by refrigerant oil that is
circulated throughout the refrigerant system with the
refrigerant. The compressor draws in low-pressure
refrigerant vapor from the evaporator through its
suction port. It then compresses the refrigerant into
a high-pressure, high-temperature refrigerant vapor.
The compressor pumps high-pressure refrigerant
vapor to the condenser through the compressor discharge port. The mechanical high pressure relief
valve is designed to vent refrigerant from the system
to protect against damage to the compressor or other
system components, caused by condenser air flow
restrictions or an overcharge of refrigerant. The valve
only vents enough refrigerant to reduce the system
pressure, then re-seats itself. The valve opens at a
discharge pressure of 3445 to 4135 kPA (500 to 600
psi) or above, and closes when a minimum discharge
pressure of 2756 kPa (400 psi) is reached.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - COMPRESSOR
NOISE DIAGNOSIS
Excessive noise while the air conditioning compressor is operating can be caused by loose compressor
mounts, a loose compressor clutch, or high operating
pressures in the refrigerant system. Verify compressor drive belt condition, proper compressor mounting,
correct refrigerant charge level, and compressor head
pressure before compressor repair is performed.
With the close tolerances within the compressor, it
is possible to experience a temporary lockup. The
longer the compressor is inactive, the more likely the
condition is to occur. This condition is the result of
normal refrigerant migration within the refrigerant
system caused by ambient temperature changes. The
refrigerant migration may wash the refrigerant oil
out of the compressor.
NOTE: Prior to a vehicle being removed from service or stored for more than two weeks, the compressor should be operated to ensure adequate
refrigerant oil distribution throughout the system
components. Turn on the air conditioner for a minimum of five minutes with outside air and the highest blower speed selected.
BELT NOISE
If the compressor drive belt slips at initial start-up,
it does not necessarily mean the compressor has
failed. The following procedure can be used to identify a compressor drive belt noise problem.
• Start the vehicle and run at idle.
• Turn the air conditioner On and listen for belt
squeal.
• If belt squeal is heard, turn the air conditioner
Off immediately.
If the belt squeal stops when the air conditioner is
turned Off, perform the following repair procedures.
(1) Using an appropriate sized oil filter wrench or
a strap wrench, grasp the outer diameter of the compressor clutch hub. While facing the compressor,
rotate the hub clockwise, then counterclockwise. If
the hub rotates, proceed to the next step. If the hub
will not rotate, the compressor is internally damaged,
and must be replaced.
(2) Turn the hub clockwise five complete revolutions and remove the tool.
(3) Start the vehicle and run at idle.
(4) Turn the air conditioner On. Observe the compressor and the system for normal operation, noting
cooling performance and noise levels. Operate for five
minutes before turning the air conditioner Off. If
acceptable cooling performance is observed during
compressor operation, the compressor does not need
to be replaced.

DESCRIPTION
The condenser is integral to a cooling module
which includes the radiator, the electric cooling fan,
the fan shroud, air seals and an automatic transmission oil cooler. The cooling module is located in the
air flow in the front of the engine compartment
behind the radiator grille. The condenser cannot be
repaired or adjusted and, if faulty or damaged, it
must be replaced. The condenser may be removed
from the cooling module for service without removing
the cooling module from the vehicle.
OPERATION
The condenser is a heat exchanger that allows the
high-pressure refrigerant gas being discharged by the
compressor to give up its heat to the air passing over
the condenser fins. When the refrigerant gas gives up
its heat, it condenses. When the refrigerant leaves
the condenser, it has become a high-pressure liquid
refrigerant. The volume of air flowing over the condenser fins is critical to the proper cooling performance of the air conditioning system. Therefore, it is
important that there are no objects placed in front of
the radiator grille openings in the front of the vehicle
or foreign material on the condenser fins that might
obstruct air flow. Also, any factory-installed air seals
or shrouds must be properly reinstalled following
radiator or condenser service.

The evaporator is located in the heater-A/C unit
housing, behind the instrument panel. The evaporator is positioned in the heater-A/C housing so that all
air that enters the housing must pass over the fins of
the evaporator before it is distributed through the
system ducts and outlets. However, air passing over
the evaporator fins will only be conditioned when the
compressor is engaged and circulating refrigerant
through the evaporator tubes. The heater-A/C unit
housing must be removed from the vehicle to access
the evaporator for service. The evaporator cannot be
adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it
must be replaced.
OPERATION
Refrigerant enters the evaporator from the expansion valve as a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid/
vapor mixture. As air flows over the fins of the evaporator, the humidity in the air condenses on the fins,

EXPANSION VALVE
DESCRIPTION
The front “H” valve-type thermal expansion valve
(TXV) is located at the dash panel between the liquid
and suction lines, and the evaporator coil. The
assembly consists of an H-valve body and a thermal
sensor. High-pressure, low temperature liquid refrigerant from the liquid line passes through the expansion valve orifice, converting it into a low-pressure,
low-temperature mixture of liquid and gas before it
enters the evaporator coil. The expansion valve is a
factory calibrated unit and cannot be adjusted or
repaired. If faulty or damaged, the expansion valve
must be replaced.
OPERATION
A mechanical sensor in the expansion valve control
head monitors the temperature and pressure of the
refrigerant leaving the evaporator coil through the
suction line, and adjusts the orifice size at the liquid
line to let the proper amount of refrigerant into the
evaporator coil to meet the vehicle cooling requirements. Controlling the refrigerant flow through the
evaporator ensures that none of the refrigerant leaving the evaporator is still in a liquid state, which
could damage the compressor. The thermo sensor
measures refrigerant suction gas temperature which
is monitored by the a/c control assembly.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - EXPANSION VALVE
WARNING: REFER TO THE APPLICABLE WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS FOR THIS SYSTEM BEFORE
PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING OPERATION.
(Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/
PLUMBING - FRONT - WARNING - A/C PLUMBING)
and (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/
PLUMBING - FRONT - CAUTION - A/C PLUMBING).
NOTE: The expansion valve should only be tested
following testing of the compressor.
NOTE: Liquid CO is required to test the expansion
valve. This material is available from most welding
supply facilities. Liquid CO is also available from
companies which service and sell fire extinguishers.
When testing the expansion valve, the work area
and the vehicle temperature must be 21° to 27° C
(70° to 85° F). To test the expansion valve:
(1) Connect a charging station or manifold gauge
set to the refrigerant system service ports. Verify the
refrigerant charge level.

PLUMBING - FRONT
RS
EXPANSION VALVE (Continued)
(2) Close all doors, windows and vents to the passenger compartment.
(3) Set the heater-air conditioner controls so that
the compressor is operating, the temperature control
is in the highest temperature position, the mode door
is directing the output to the floor outlets, and the
blower is operating at the highest speed setting.
(4) Start the engine and allow it to idle at 1000
rpm. After the engine has reached normal operating
temperature, allow the passenger compartment to
heat up. This will create the need for maximum
refrigerant flow into the evaporator.
(5) If the refrigerant charge is sufficient, the discharge (high pressure) gauge should read 965 to 1655
kPa (140 to 240 psi). The suction (low pressure)
gauge should read 140 kPa to 207 kPa (20 psi to 30
psi). If OK, go to Step 6. If not OK, replace the faulty
expansion valve.

(3) Remove the air cleaner housing from the right
side of the engine compartment.
(4) Disconnect the drain tube from the wiper module drain on the right side of the engine compartment.
(5) Disconnect the headlamp and dash wire harness connector for the A/C pressure transducer from
the transducer on the front liquid line rear section
(Fig. 14).
WARNING:
PROTECT THE SKIN AND EYES FROM EXPOSURE
TO LIQUID CO. PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
(6) If the suction (low pressure) gauge reads
within the specified range, freeze the expansion valve
control head for 30 seconds using liquid CO or
another suitable super-cold material.Do not spray
R-134a or R-12 refrigerant on the expansion
valve control head for this test. The suction (low
pressure) gauge reading should drop by 10 psi. If OK,
go to Step 7 If not OK, replace the faulty expansion
valve.
(7) Allow the expansion valve control head to thaw.
The suction (low pressure) gauge reading should stabilize at 140 kPa to 240 kPa (20 psi to 30 psi). If not
OK, replace the faulty expansion valve.
(8) When expansion valve testing is complete, test
the overall air conditioner performance. (Refer to 24 HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING - A/C PERFORMANCE TEST).
Remove all test equipment before returning the vehicle to service.

HEATER CORE
DESCRIPTION
The heater core is located in the distribution housing of the heater-A/C unit, under the instrument
panel. It is a heat exchanger made of rows of tubes
and fins. One end of the core is fitted with a molded
plastic tank that includes integral heater core inlet
and outlet ports. The removable heater core tubes
are held in place these ports by a sealing plate
secured with a screw to the heater core tank. This
removable heater core tube arrangement allows the
heater core to be serviced without removing the heater-A/C unit housing from the vehicle. The heater core
cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must
be replaced.
OPERATION
Engine coolant is circulated through heater hoses
to the heater core at all times. As the coolant flows
through the heater core, heat removed from the
engine is transferred to the heater core fins and
tubes. Air directed through the heater core picks up
the heat from the heater core fins. The blend air door
allows control of the heater output air temperature
by controlling how much of the air flowing through
the heater-A/C unit housing is directed through the
heater core.

RECEIVER/DRIER
DESCRIPTION
The filter-drier is mounted in a bracket secured to
the right front strut tower in the engine compartment. The filter-drier is connected between the front
and rear sections of the liquid line between the condenser outlet and the evaporator inlet. The filterdrier cannot be repaired. If the filter-drier is faulty
or damaged, or if the refrigerant system has been
contaminated or left open to the atmosphere for an
indeterminable period, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The filter-drier performs a filtering action to prevent foreign material in the refrigerant from contaminating the expansion valve. A desiccant bag is
mounted inside the filter-drier canister to absorb any
moisture which may have entered and become
trapped within the refrigerant system. In addition,
during periods of high demand air conditioner operation, the filter-drier acts as a reservoir to store surplus refrigerant. Refrigerant enters the filter-drier as
a high-pressure, low temperature liquid.

REFRIGERANT
DESCRIPTION
The refrigerant used in this air conditioning system is a HydroFluoroCarbon (HFC), type R-134a.
Unlike R-12, which is a ChloroFluoroCarbon (CFC),
R-134a refrigerant does not contain ozone-depleting
chlorine. R-134a refrigerant is a non-toxic, non-flammable, clear, and colorless liquefied gas. Even though
R-134a does not contain chlorine, it must be
reclaimed and recycled just like CFC-type refrigerants. This is because R-134a is a greenhouse gas and
can contribute to global warming.
OPERATION
R-134a refrigerant is not compatible with R-12
refrigerant in an air conditioning system. Even a
small amount of R-12 added to an R-134a refrigerant
system will cause compressor failure, refrigerant oil
sludge or poor air conditioning system performance.
In addition, the PolyAlkylene Glycol (PAG) synthetic
refrigerant oils used in an R-134a refrigerant system
are not compatible with the mineral-based refrigerant oils used in an R-12 refrigerant system. R-134a
refrigerant system service ports, service tool couplers
and refrigerant dispensing bottles have all been
designed with unique fittings to ensure that an
R-134a system is not accidentally contaminated with
the wrong refrigerant (R-12). There are also labels
posted in the engine compartment of the vehicle and
on the compressor identifying to service technicians
that the air conditioning system is equipped with
R-134a.

PLUMBING - FRONT - WARNING - A/C PLUMBING)
and (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/
PLUMBING - FRONT - CAUTION - A/C PLUMBING).
NOTE: The proper amount of R-134a refrigerant for
the refrigerant system in this model is:
• Single or Dual Zone (Front Unit Only) - 0.96
kilograms (2.13 pounds or 34 ounces)
• Three Zone (Front and Rear Units) - 1.31 kilograms (2.88 pounds or 46 ounces)

The procedure that follows should be used to determine whether the refrigerant system contains the
proper refrigerant charge. Symptoms of an improper
refrigerant charge (low) include: poor air conditioner
performance, fog emitted from the air conditioner
outlets, a hissing sound from the expansion valve/
evaporator area. There are two different methods
with which the refrigerant charge level may be
tested:
• Using a DRBIIIt scan tool, a thermocouple and
the Charge Determination Chart (Fig. 33). Refer to
the appropriate diagnostic information.
• Using a manifold gauge set, a thermocouple and
the Charge Determination Chart (Fig. 33).
A temperature probe is required to measure liquid
line temperature. The clamp-on, Type K thermocouple temperature probe used in this procedure is
available through the DaimlerChrysler Professional
Service Equipment (PSE) program. This probe (PSE
#66-324-0014 or #80PK-1A) is compatible with temperature-measuring instruments that accept Type K
thermocouples, and have a miniature connector
input. Other temperature probes are available
through aftermarket sources; however, all references
in this procedure will reflect the use of the probe
made available through the PSE program.
In order to use the temperature probe, a digital
thermometer will also be required. If a digital thermometer is not available, an adapter is available
through the PSE program that will convert any standard digital multimeter into a digital thermometer.
This adapter is designed to accept any standard Type
K thermocouple. If a digital multimeter is not available, this tool is also available through the PSE program.
NOTE: When connecting the service equipment
couplings to the refrigerant system service ports,
be certain that the valve of each coupling is fully
closed. This will reduce the amount of effort
required to make the connection.
(1) Remove the caps from the refrigerant system
service ports and attach a manifold gauge set or a
R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging station that meets SAE Standard J2210 to the refrigerant system.
(2) Attach a clamp-on thermocouple to the liquid
line. The thermocouple must be placed as close to the
A/C pressure transducer as possible to accurately
observe liquid line temperature.
(3) Bring the refrigerant system up to operating
temperature and pressure. This is done by allowing
the engine to run at idle under the following conditions for five minutes.
(a) Front windows are open.
(b) Transaxle in Park.

(c) Front heater-A/C controls set to outside air,
full cool, panel mode, blower high, and compressor
engaged.
(d) If the vehicle is so equipped, the rear heaterA/C controls must be set to full cool and blower
high.
(4) Raise the liquid line (discharge) pressure to
about 1793 kPa (260 psi) by placing a piece of cardboard over part of the front side of the condenser. To
place the cardboard properly, remove the upper radiator sight shield from the front fascia. Cover only
enough of the condenser to raise and maintain the
liquid line pressure at the specified level.
(5) Observe the liquid line (discharge) pressure
and liquid line temperature. Using the Charge Determination Chart (Fig. 33), determine whether the
refrigerant system is operating within the Proper
Charge Range.
(a) If the refrigerant system is operating in the
Undercharged area of the chart, add 0.057 kilogram (0.125 pound or 2 ounces) of refrigerant to
the system.
(b) If the refrigerant system is operating in the
Overcharged area of the chart, reclaim 0.057 kilogram (0.125 pound or 2 ounces) of refrigerant from
the system.
(6) Recheck the system charge level following each
refrigerant adjustment. Continue this process until
the system readings are in the Proper Charge Range
area on the Charge Determination Chart.

location should be confirmed with an electronic leak
detector prior to component repair or replacement.
An electronic leak detector designed for R-134a
refrigerant is recommended for locating and confirming refrigerant system leaks. See the operating
instructions supplied by the equipment manufacturer
for proper care and use of this equipment.
To detect a leak in the refrigerant system, perform
one of the following procedures as indicated by the
results of the refrigerant system charge level test.
and (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/
PLUMBING - FRONT - CAUTION - A/C PLUMBING).

(a) Front windows are open.
(b) Rear air conditioner Off (if equipped).
(c) Transaxle in Park.
(d) Front heater-A/C controls set to outside air,
panel mode, blower high, and compressor engaged.
(3) Wait five to seven minutes and, with the
engine not running, use a electronic R-134a leak
detector and search for leaks. Because R-134a refrigerant is heavier than air, the leak detector probe
should be moved slowly along the bottom side of all
refrigerant lines, connector fittings and components.
(4) To inspect an evaporator for leaks, insert the
electronic leak detector probe into a floor outlet or
the recirculation air intake.

and (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/
PLUMBING - FRONT - CAUTION - A/C PLUMBING).
If the refrigerant system has been open to the
atmosphere, it must be evacuated before the system
can be charged. If moisture and air enters the system
and becomes mixed with the refrigerant, the compressor head pressure will rise above acceptable
operating levels. This will reduce the performance of
the air conditioner and damage the compressor.
Evacuating the refrigerant system will remove the
air and boil the moisture out of the system at near
room temperature. A R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging station that meets SAE Standard
J2210 must be used to evacuate the refrigerant system. See the operating instructions supplied by the
equipment manufacturer for proper care and use of
this equipment. To evacuate the refrigerant system,
use the following procedure:
NOTE: When connecting the service equipment
couplings to the refrigerant system service ports,
be certain that the valve of each coupling is fully
closed. This will reduce the amount of effort
required to make the connection.
(1) Remove the caps from the refrigerant system
service ports and attach a manifold gauge set and a
R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging station that meets SAE Standard J2210 to the refrigerant system.
(2) Open both the suction and discharge valves
and start the charging station vacuum pump.
(3) When the suction gauge has read 88 kPa (26
in. Hg.) vacuum or greater for 45 minutes, close both
the suction and discharge valves and turn off the
vacuum pump. If the refrigerant system fails to
reach the specified vacuum, the system has a leak
that must be corrected. (Refer to 24 - HEATING &
AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - FRONT/REFRIGERANT - STANDARD PROCEDURE REFRIGERANT SYSTEM LEAKS).
(4) If the refrigerant system maintains the specified vacuum for thirty minutes, restart the vacuum
pump, open both the suction and discharge valves,
and evacuate the system for an additional ten minutes.
(5) Close both the suction and discharge valves,
and turn off the charging station vacuum pump.
(6) The refrigerant system is now ready to be
charged with R-134a refrigerant. (Refer to 24 HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING FRONT/REFRIGERANT - STANDARD PROCEDURE - REFRIGERANT SYSTEM CHARGE).

supplied by the equipment manufacturer for the
proper care and use of this equipment.
REFRIGERANT OIL
DESCRIPTION
The refrigerant oil used in R-134a refrigerant systems is a synthetic-based, PolyAlkylene Glycol (PAG),
wax-free lubricant. Mineral-based R-12 refrigerant
oils are not compatible with PAG oils, and should
never be introduced to an R-134a refrigerant system.
There are different PAG oils available, and each contains a different additive package. The 10S20H compressor used in this vehicle are designed to use an
ND-8 PAG refrigerant oil. Use only refrigerant oil of
this same type to service the refrigerant system.
OPERATION
After performing any refrigerant recovery or recycling operation, always replenish the refrigerant system with the same amount of the recommended
refrigerant oil as was removed. Too little refrigerant
oil can cause compressor damage, and too much can
reduce air conditioning system performance. PAG
refrigerant oil is much more hygroscopic than mineral oil, and will absorb any moisture it comes into
contact with, even moisture in the air. The PAG oil
container should always be kept tightly capped until
it is ready to be used. After use, recap the oil container immediately to prevent moisture contamination.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - REFRIGERANT OIL
LEVEL
WARNING: REFER TO THE APPLICABLE WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS FOR THIS SYSTEM BEFORE
PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING OPERATION.
(Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/
PLUMBING - FRONT - WARNING - A/C PLUMBING)
and (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/
PLUMBING - FRONT - CAUTION - A/C PLUMBING).
When an air conditioning system is assembled at
the factory, all components except the compressor are
refrigerant oil free. After the refrigerant system has
been charged and operated, the refrigerant oil in the
compressor is dispersed throughout the refrigerant
system. The receiver/drier, evaporator, condenser, and
compressor will each retain a significant amount of
the needed refrigerant oil.
It is important to have the correct amount of oil in
the refrigerant system. This ensures proper lubrication of the compressor. Too little oil will result in
damage to the compressor. Too much oil will reduce
the cooling capacity of the air conditioning system.
It will not be necessary to check the oil level in the
compressor or to add oil, unless there has been an oil
loss. An oil loss may occur due to a rupture or leak
from a refrigerant line, a connector fitting, a component, or a component seal. If a leak occurs, add 30
milliliters (1 fluid ounce) of refrigerant oil to the
refrigerant system after the repair has been made.
Refrigerant oil loss will be evident at the leak point
by the presence of a wet, shiny surface around the
leak.
Refrigerant oil must be added when an receiver/
drier, evaporator or condenser is replaced. See the
Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart for the proper
amount of refrigerant oil to add. When a compressor
is replaced, the refrigerant oil must be drained from
the old compressor and measured. Drain all of the
refrigerant oil from the new compressor, then fill the
new compressor with the same amount of fresh new
refrigerant oil that was drained out of the old compressor.

EVAPORATOR
REMOVAL
DESCRIPTION
REMOVAL - REAR EVAPORATOR
The rear evaporator is located in the rear heaterA/C unit housing, behind the right rear wheel house.
The evaporator is positioned in the rear heater-A/C
housing so that all air that enters the housing must
pass over the fins of the evaporator before it is distributed through the system ducts and outlets. However, air passing over the evaporator fins will only be
conditioned when the compressor is engaged and circulating refrigerant through the evaporator tubes.
The rear heater-A/C unit housing must be removed
from the vehicle to access the evaporator for service.
The evaporator cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
Refrigerant enters the rear evaporator from the
rear expansion valve as a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid. As air flows over the fins of the evaporator, the humidity in the air condenses on the fins,
and the heat from the air is absorbed by the refrigerant. Heat absorption causes the refrigerant to boil
and vaporize. The refrigerant becomes a low-pressure
gas when it leaves the evaporator.

EXPANSION VALVE
DESCRIPTION
The rear “H” valve-type thermal expansion valve
(TXV) is located at the rear of the rear heater-A/C
unit housing between the evaporator line extension
and the evaporator coil. High-pressure, low temperature liquid refrigerant from the liquid line passes
through the expansion valve orifice, converting it into
a low-pressure, low-temperature mixture of liquid
and gas before it enters the evaporator coil. The
expansion valve is a factory calibrated unit and cannot be adjusted or repaired. If faulty or damaged, the
expansion valve must be replaced.
24 - 100
PLUMBING - REAR
RS
EXPANSION VALVE (Continued)
OPERATION
A mechanical sensor in the expansion valve control
head monitors the temperature and pressure of the
refrigerant leaving the evaporator coil through the
suction line, and adjusts the orifice size at the liquid
line to let the proper amount of refrigerant into the
evaporator coil to meet the vehicle cooling requirements. Controlling the refrigerant flow through the
evaporator ensures that none of the refrigerant leaving the evaporator is still in a liquid state, which
could damage the compressor.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - EXPANSION VALVE
WARNING: REFER TO THE APPLICABLE WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS FOR THIS SYSTEM BEFORE
PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING OPERATION.
(Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/
PLUMBING - FRONT - WARNING - A/C PLUMBING)
and (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/
PLUMBING - FRONT - CAUTION - A/C PLUMBING).
NOTE: The expansion valve should only be tested
following testing of the compressor.
NOTE: Liquid CO is required to test the expansion
valve. This material is available from most welding
supply facilities. Liquid CO is also available from
companies which service and sell fire extinguishers.
When testing the expansion valve, the work area
and the vehicle temperature must be 21° to 27° C
(70° to 85° F). To test the expansion valve:
(1) Connect a charging station or manifold gauge
set to the refrigerant system service ports. Verify the
refrigerant charge level.
(2) Close all doors, windows and vents to the passenger compartment.
(3) Set the heater-air conditioner controls so that
the compressor is operating, the temperature control
is in the highest temperature position, the mode door
is directing the output to the floor outlets, and the
blower is operating at the highest speed setting.
(4) Start the engine and allow it to idle at 1000
rpm. After the engine has reached normal operating
temperature, allow the passenger compartment to
heat up. This will create the need for maximum
refrigerant flow into the evaporator.
(5) If the refrigerant charge is sufficient, the discharge (high pressure) gauge should read 965 to 1655
kPa (140 to 240 psi). The suction (low pressure)
gauge should read 140 kPa to 207 kPa (20 psi to 30
psi). If OK, go to Step 6. If not OK, replace the faulty
expansion valve.
WARNING: PROTECT THE SKIN AND EYES FROM
EXPOSURE TO LIQUID CO. PERSONAL INJURY
CAN RESULT.
(6) If the suction (low pressure) gauge reads
within the specified range, freeze the expansion valve
control head for 30 seconds using liquid CO or
another suitable super-cold material.Do not spray
R-134a or R-12 refrigerant on the expansion
valve control head for this test. The suction (low
pressure) gauge reading should drop by 10 psi. If OK,
go to Step 7 If not OK, replace the faulty expansion
valve.
(7) Allow the expansion valve control head to thaw.
The suction (low pressure) gauge reading should stabilize at 140 kPa to 240 kPa (20 psi to 30 psi). If not
OK, replace the faulty expansion valve.
(8) When expansion valve testing is complete, test
the overall air conditioner performance. (Refer to 24 HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING - A/C PERFORMANCE TEST).
Remove all test equipment before returning the vehicle to service.

HEATER CORE
DESCRIPTION
The rear heater core is located near the front of
the rear heater-A/C unit housing, behind the right
rear wheel house. It is a heat exchanger made of
rows of tubes and fins. One end of the core is fitted
with a molded plastic tank that includes integral
heater core inlet and outlet nipples. The heater core
can be serviced without removing the rear heater-A/C
unit housing from the vehicle. The heater core cannot
be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be
replaced.
fore, when the cooling system is drained and refilled,
gravity will not refill the heater core with coolant to
the proper level. This may result in two problems: 1.
Insufficient coolant level in the engine cooling system, which may result in engine overheating. 2. Air
entrapped within the rear heater core, which may
result in insufficient rear heater performance. There
are two methods that may be employed to prevent
these problems: 1. Pre-filling of the rear heater core.
2. Thermal cycling of the engine cooling system. Following are descriptions of both prevention methods,
as well as a method to verify rear heater performance.
WARNING: REFER TO THE APPLICABLE WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS FOR THIS SYSTEM BEFORE
PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING OPERATION.
(Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/
PLUMBING FRONT - WARNING - HEATER PLUMBING).
PRE-FILLING
If the rear heater core or the rear heater-A/C housing have been removed from the vehicle for service,
the rear heater core may be pre-filled with the proper
engine coolant mixture prior to reconnecting the
heater hoses to the heater core hose fittings.
(1) The heater core should be installed in the rear
heater-A/C unit housing, and the rear heater-A/C
unit housing should be installed in the vehicle.
(2) Take the proper precautions to protect the carpeting below the rear heater core from spilled engine
coolant and have absorbent toweling readily available to mop up any spills.
(3) Insert the small end of an appropriate funnel
into the upper hose fitting of the heater core (Fig. 4).
OPERATION
Engine coolant is circulated through heater hoses
to the heater core at all times. As the coolant flows
through the heater core, heat removed from the
engine is transferred to the heater core fins and
tubes. Air directed through the heater core picks up
the heat from the heater core fins. The blend air door
allows control of the heater output air temperature
by controlling how much of the air flowing through
the rear heater-A/C unit housing is directed through
the heater core.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - HEATER CORE
FILLING
In its final installed position, the rear heater core
is positioned higher than the radiator fill cap. There-

(8) Check the performance of the rear heater.
Refer to REAR HEATER PERFORMANCE CHECK .
REAR HEATER PERFORMANCE CHECK
Successful completion of the rear heater performance check will confirm that the rear heater core is
properly filled with engine coolant. If the check is not
successful, either there is still air trapped in the rear
heater core or the rear heater plumbing is restricted.
This check should be performed with the vehicle in a
shop where the ambient temperature is about 21° C
(70° F).
(1) Start the engine and allow it to idle until it
warms up to normal operating temperature.
(2) Adjust the heater-A/C controls so that the front
heater is turned Off, the rear heater is set for full
Heat, and the rear blower motor is at its highest
speed setting.
(3) Use an accurate test thermometer to measure
the temperature of the air being discharged from the
rear heater outlet located at the base of the right
C-pillar.
(4) Proper discharge air temperature readings
should be from 57° to 63° C (135° to 145° F).

DIESEL SUPPLEMENTAL
HEATER - DCHA - BUX
OPERATION
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the optional diesel engine
are also equipped with a supplemental heater unit.
This unit is mounted under the vehicle and operates
similar to an oil fired furnace. The heater burns
small amounts of fuel to provide additional heat to
the coolant. Coolant is routed from the engine, to the
supplemental heater, and then to the front heater
core. This provides additional heat to the passenger
compartment. The system is interfaced to the vehicles on-board computer systems and DRB-III diagnostics.

The supplemental heater unit is activated via the
temperature slide control or knob on the vehicle
HVAC control unit. If the control slide or knob is
moved to or above the upper set point the heater is
activated. The unit can operate in a full or partial
load range as well as an idle mode all dependent on
the engine coolant temperature. The heater unit will
also turn off if the HVAC temperature control is lowered to less than the lower set point. The heater unit
can take up to three minutes to completely shut
down when either the heater temperature is set
below the lower set point or the vehicle ignition is
shut down.

be sure that the vehicle is serviced with correct ethanol compatible parts.
CAUTION: Replacing fuel system components with
non-ethanol compatible components can damage
your vehicle and may void the warranty.
OPERATION
The fuel system provides fuel pressure by an
in-tank pump module. The PCM controls the operation of the fuel system by providing battery voltage
to the fuel pump through the fuel pump relay. The
PCM requires only three inputs and a good ground to
operate the fuel pump relay. The three inputs are:
RS
• Ignition voltage
• Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor
• Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor

FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR
OPERATION
The fuel system uses a nonadjustable pressure regulator that maintains fuel system pressure at
approximately 400 ±34 kPa (58 ±5 psi). The fuel
pressure regulator contains a diaphragm, calibrated
spring and a fuel return valve. The spring pushes
down on the diaphragm and closes off the fuel return
port. System fuel pressure reflects the amount of fuel
pressure required to open the return port.
The pressure regulator is a mechanical device that
is NOT controlled by the PCM or engine vacuum.
REMOVAL
The fuel pressure regulator is part of the fuel
pump module (Fig. 9). Remove the fuel pump module
from the fuel tank to access the fuel pressure regulator. Refer to the Fuel Pump Module removal in this
section.

FUEL PUMP
DESCRIPTION
The electric fuel pump is located in and is part of
the fuel pump module. It is a positive displacement,
gerotor type, immersible pump with a permanent
magnet electric motor. The fuel pump module is suspended in fuel in the fuel tank.
OPERATION
The pump draws fuel through a strainer and
pushes it through the motor to the outlet. The pump
contains a check valve. The valve, in the pump outlet, maintains pump pressure during engine off conditions, for a short while. It is normal for fuel
pressure to drop to zero after cooldown. The fuel
pump relay provides voltage to the fuel pump. The
fuel pump has a maximum deadheaded pressure output of approximately 880 kPa (130 psi). The regulator adjusts fuel system pressure to approximately
400 kpa ±34 kpa (58 psi ± 5 psi).

FUEL TANK
DESCRIPTION
Fig. 14 FUEL INJECTORS 3.3/3.8L
The fuel tank is constructed of a plastic material.
Its main functions are for fuel storage and for placement of the fuel pump module. The tank is made
from High density Polyethylene (HDPE) material.If
equipped with ORVR (Onboard Refueling Vapor
Recovery) it has been added to the fuel tank to control refueling vapor emissions.
INSTALLATION
OPERATION
INSTALLATION - 2.4L
All models pass a full 360 degree rollover test
without fuel leakage. To accomplish this, fuel and
vapor flow controls are required for all fuel tank connections.
All models are equipped with either one or two
rollover valves mounted into the top of the fuel tank
(or pump module).
An evaporation control system is connected to the
rollover valve(s)/control valve(Refer to 25 - EMISSIONS CONTROL/EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS/
ORVR - OPERATION) to reduce emissions of fuel
vapors into the atmosphere, when the tank is vented
due to vapor expansion in the tank. When fuel evaporates from the fuel tank, vapors pass through vent
hoses or tubes to a charcoal canister where they are
temporarily held. When the engine is running, the
vapors are drawn into the intake manifold. In addition, fuel vapors produced during vehicle refueling
are allowed to pass through the vent hoses/tubes to
the charcoal canister(s) for temporary storage (prior
to being drawn into the intake manifold). All models
are equipped with a self-diagnosing system using a
Leak Detection Pump (LDP). Refer to the Emission
Control System for additional information.

FUEL INJECTION
OPERATION
OPERATION - INJECTION SYSTEM
All engines used in this section have a sequential
Multi-Port Electronic Fuel Injection system. The MPI
system is computer regulated and provides precise
air/fuel ratios for all driving conditions. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) operates the fuel injection system.
The PCM regulates:
• Ignition timing
• Air/fuel ratio
• Emission control devices
• Cooling fan
• Charging system
• Idle speed
• Vehicle speed control
Various sensors provide the inputs necessary for
the PCM to correctly operate these systems. In addition to the sensors, various switches also provide
inputs to the PCM.
The PCM can adapt its programming to meet
changing operating conditions.
Fuel is injected into the intake port above the
intake valve in precise metered amounts through
electrically operated injectors. The PCM fires the
injectors in a specific sequence. Under most operating conditions, the PCM maintains an air fuel ratio
of 14.7 parts air to 1 part fuel by constantly adjusting injector pulse width. Injector pulse width is the
length of time the injector is open.
The PCM adjusts injector pulse width by opening
and closing the ground path to the injector. Engine
RPM (speed) and manifold absolute pressure (air
density) are the primary inputs that determine
injector pulse width.
OPERATION - MODES OF OPERATION
As input signals to the PCM change, the PCM
adjusts its response to output devices. For example,
the PCM must calculate a different injector pulse
width and ignition timing for idle than it does for
Wide Open Throttle (WOT). There are several different modes of operation that determine how the PCM
responds to the various input signals.
There are two different areas of operation, OPEN
LOOP and CLOSED LOOP.
During OPEN LOOP modes the PCM receives
input signals and responds according to preset PCM
programming. Inputs from the upstream and downstream heated oxygen sensors are not monitored during OPEN LOOP modes, except for heated oxygen
FUEL INJECTION
14 - 17
sensor diagnostics (they are checked for shorted conditions at all times).
During CLOSED LOOP modes the PCM monitors
the inputs from the upstream and downstream
heated oxygen sensors. The upstream heated oxygen
sensor input tells the PCM if the calculated injector
pulse width resulted in the ideal air-fuel ratio of 14.7
to one. By monitoring the exhaust oxygen content
through the upstream heated oxygen sensor, the
PCM can fine tune injector pulse width. Fine tuning
injector pulse width allows the PCM to achieve optimum fuel economy combined with low emissions.
For the PCM to enter CLOSED LOOP operation,
the following must occur:
(1) Engine coolant temperature must be over 35°F.
• If the coolant is over 35°F the PCM will wait 38
seconds.
• If the coolant is over 50°F the PCM will wait 15
seconds.
• If the coolant is over 167°F the PCM will wait 3
seconds.
(2) For other temperatures the PCM will interpolate the correct waiting time.
(3) O2 sensor must read either greater than 0.745
volts or less than 0.29 volt.
(4) The multi-port fuel injection systems has the
following modes of operation:
• Ignition switch ON (Zero RPM)
• Engine start-up
• Engine warm-up
• Cruise
• Idle
• Acceleration
• Deceleration
• Wide Open Throttle
• Ignition switch OFF
(5) The engine start-up (crank), engine warm-up,
deceleration with fuel shutoff and wide open throttle
modes are OPEN LOOP modes. Under most operating conditions, the acceleration, deceleration (with
A/C on), idle and cruise modes, with the engine at
operating temperature are CLOSED LOOP modes.
IGNITION SWITCH ON (ZERO RPM) MODE
When the ignition switch activates the fuel injection system, the following actions occur:
• The PCM monitors the engine coolant temperature sensor and throttle position sensor input. The
PCM determines basic fuel injector pulse width from
this input.
• The PCM determines atmospheric air pressure
from the MAP sensor input to modify injector pulse
width.
When the key is in the ON position and the engine
is not running (zero rpm), the Auto Shutdown (ASD)
and fuel pump relays de-energize after approximately
14 - 18
FUEL INJECTION
RS
FUEL INJECTION (Continued)
1 second. Therefore, battery voltage is not supplied to
the fuel pump, ignition coil, fuel injectors and heated
oxygen sensors.
ENGINE START-UP MODE
This is an OPEN LOOP mode. If the vehicle is in
park or neutral (automatic transaxles) or the clutch
pedal is depressed (manual transaxles) the ignition
switch energizes the starter relay. The following
actions occur when the starter motor is engaged.
• If the PCM receives the camshaft position sensor
and crankshaft position sensor signals, it energizes
the Auto Shutdown (ASD) relay and fuel pump relay.
If the PCM does not receive both signals within
approximately one second, it will not energize the
ASD relay and fuel pump relay. The ASD and fuel
pump relays supply battery voltage to the fuel pump,
fuel injectors, ignition coil, (EGR solenoid and PCV
heater if equipped) and heated oxygen sensors.
• The PCM energizes the injectors (on the 69°
degree falling edge) for a calculated pulse width until
it determines crankshaft position from the camshaft
position sensor and crankshaft position sensor signals. The PCM determines crankshaft position within
1 engine revolution.
• After determining crankshaft position, the PCM
begins energizing the injectors in sequence. It adjusts
injector pulse width and controls injector synchronization by turning the individual ground paths to the
injectors On and Off.
• When the engine idles within ±64 RPM of its
target RPM, the PCM compares current MAP sensor
value with the atmospheric pressure value received
during the Ignition Switch On (zero RPM) mode.
Once the ASD and fuel pump relays have been
energized, the PCM determines injector pulse width
based on the following:
• MAP
• Engine RPM
• Battery voltage
• Engine coolant temperature
• Inlet/Intake air temperature (IAT)
• Throttle position
• The number of engine revolutions since cranking
was initiated
During Start-up the PCM maintains ignition timing at 9° BTDC.
ENGINE WARM-UP MODE
This is an OPEN LOOP mode. The following inputs
are received by the PCM:
• Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)
• Crankshaft position (engine speed)
• Engine coolant temperature
• Inlet/Intake air temperature (IAT)
• Camshaft position
• Knock sensor
• Throttle position
• A/C switch
• Battery voltage
• Vehicle speed
• Speed control
• O2 sensors
The PCM adjusts injector pulse width and controls
injector synchronization by turning the individual
ground paths to the injectors On and Off.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing and engine idle
speed. Engine idle speed is adjusted through the idle
air control motor.
CRUISE OR IDLE MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature this
is a CLOSED LOOP mode. During cruising or idle
the following inputs are received by the PCM:
• Manifold absolute pressure
• Crankshaft position (engine speed)
• Inlet/Intake air temperature
• Engine coolant temperature
• Camshaft position
• Knock sensor
• Throttle position
• Exhaust gas oxygen content
• A/C control positions
• Battery voltage
• Vehicle speed
The PCM adjusts injector pulse width and controls
injector synchronization by turning the individual
ground paths to the injectors On and Off.
The PCM adjusts engine idle speed and ignition
timing. The PCM adjusts the air/fuel ratio according
to the oxygen content in the exhaust gas (measured
by the upstream and downstream heated oxygen sensor).
The PCM monitors for engine misfire. During
active misfire and depending on the severity, the
PCM either continuously illuminates or flashes the
malfunction indicator lamp (Check Engine light on
instrument panel). Also, the PCM stores an engine
misfire DTC in memory, if 2nd trip with fault.
The PCM performs several diagnostic routines.
They include:
• Oxygen sensor monitor
• Downstream heated oxygen sensor diagnostics
during open loop operation (except for shorted)
• Fuel system monitor
• EGR monitor (if equipped)
• Purge system monitor
• Catalyst efficiency monitor
• All inputs monitored for proper voltage range,
rationality.
• All monitored components (refer to the Emission
section for On-Board Diagnostics).
FUEL INJECTION

14 - 19
FUEL INJECTION (Continued)
The PCM compares the upstream and downstream
heated oxygen sensor inputs to measure catalytic convertor efficiency. If the catalyst efficiency drops below
the minimum acceptable percentage, the PCM stores a
diagnostic trouble code in memory, after 2 trips.
During certain idle conditions, the PCM may enter
a variable idle speed strategy. During variable idle
speed strategy the PCM adjusts engine speed based
on the following inputs.
• A/C sense
• Battery voltage
• Battery temperature or Calculated Battery Temperature
• Engine coolant temperature
• Engine run time
• Inlet/Intake air temperature
• Vehicle mileage
ACCELERATION MODE
This is a CLOSED LOOP mode. The PCM recognizes an abrupt increase in Throttle Position sensor
output voltage or MAP sensor output voltage as a
demand for increased engine output and vehicle
acceleration. The PCM increases injector pulse width
in response to increased fuel demand.
• Wide Open Throttle-open loop
DECELERATION MODE
This is a CLOSED LOOP mode. During deceleration the following inputs are received by the PCM:
• A/C sense
• Battery voltage
• Inlet/Intake air temperature
• Engine coolant temperature
• Crankshaft position (engine speed)
• Exhaust gas oxygen content (upstream heated
oxygen sensor)
• Knock sensor
• Manifold absolute pressure
• Throttle position sensor
• IAC motor (solenoid) control changes in response
to MAP sensor feedback
The PCM may receive a closed throttle input from
the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) when it senses an
abrupt decrease in manifold pressure. This indicates a
hard deceleration (Open Loop). In response, the PCM
may momentarily turn off the injectors. This helps
improve fuel economy, emissions and engine braking.
WIDE-OPEN-THROTTLE MODE
This is an OPEN LOOP mode. During wide-openthrottle operation, the following inputs are used by
the PCM:
• Inlet/Intake air temperature
• Engine coolant temperature
• Engine speed
• Knock sensor
• Manifold absolute pressure
• Throttle position
When the PCM senses a wide-open-throttle condition through the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) it deenergizes the A/C compressor clutch relay. This
disables the air conditioning system and disables
EGR (if equipped).
The PCM adjusts injector pulse width to supply a
predetermined amount of additional fuel, based on
MAP and RPM.
IGNITION SWITCH OFF MODE
When the operator turns the ignition switch to the
OFF position, the following occurs:
• All outputs are turned off, unless 02 Heater
Monitor test is being run. Refer to the Emission section for On-Board Diagnostics.
• No inputs are monitored except for the heated
oxygen sensors. The PCM monitors the heating elements in the oxygen sensors and then shuts down.
FUEL CORRECTION or ADAPTIVE MEMORIES
DESCRIPTION
In Open Loop, the PCM changes pulse width without feedback from the O2 Sensors. Once the engine
warms up to approximately 30 to 35° F, the PCM
goes into closed loop Short Term Correction and
utilizes feedback from the O2 Sensors. Closed loop
Long Term Adaptive Memory is maintained above
170° to 190° F unless the PCM senses wide open
throttle. At that time the PCM returns to Open Loop
operation.
OPERATION
Short Term
The first fuel correction program that begins functioning is the short term fuel correction. This system
corrects fuel delivery in direct proportion to the readings from the Upstream O2 Sensor.
The PCM monitors the air/fuel ratio by using the
input voltage from the O2 Sensor. When the voltage
reaches its preset high or low limit, the PCM begins
to add or remove fuel until the sensor reaches its
switch point. The short term corrections then begin.
The PCM makes a series of quick changes in the
injector pulse-width until the O2 Sensor reaches its
opposite preset limit or switch point. The process
then repeats itself in the opposite direction.
Short term fuel correction will keep increasing or
decreasing injector pulse-width based upon the
upstream O2 Sensor input. The maximum range of
authority for short term memory is 25% (+/-) of base
pulse-width. Short term is violated and is lost when
ignition is turned OFF.
14 - 20
FUEL INJECTION
RS
FUEL INJECTION (Continued)
Long Term
The second fuel correction program is the long
term adaptive memory. In order to maintain correct
emission throughout all operating ranges of the
engine, a cell structure based on engine rpm and load
(MAP) is used.
Ther number of cells varies upon the driving conditions. Two cells are used only during idle, based
upon TPS and Park/Neutral switch inputs. There
may be two other cells used for deceleration, based
on TPS, engine rpm, and vehicle speed. The other
twelve cells represent a manifold pressure and an
rpm range. Six of the cells are high rpm and the
other six are low rpm. Each of these cells is a specific
MAP voltage range Typical Adaptive Memory Fuel
Cells .
As the engine enters one of these cells the PCM
looks at the amount of short term correction being
used. Because the goal is to keep short term at 0 (O2
Sensor switching at 0.5 volt), long term will update
in the same direction as short term correction was
moving to bring the short term back to 0. Once short
term is back at 0, this long term correction factor is
stored in memory.
The values stored in long term adaptive memory
are used for all operating conditions, including open
loop and cold starting. However, the updating of the
long term memory occurs after the engine has
exceeded approximately 170°-190° F, with fuel control
in closed loop and two minutes of engine run time.
This is done to prevent any transitional temperature
or start-up compensations from corrupting long term
fuel correction.
Long term adaptive memory can change the pulsewidth by as much as 25%, which means it can correct
for all of short term. It is possible to have a problem
that would drive long term to 25% and short term to
another 25% for a total change of 50% away from
base pulse-width calculation.

Fuel Correction Diagnostics
There are two fuel correction diagnostic routines:

A DTC is set and the MIL is illuminated if the
PCM detects either of these conditions. This is determined based on total fuel correction, short term
times long term.
PROGRAMMABLE COMMUNICATIONS
INTERFACE (PCI) BUS
DESCRIPTION

Body Control Module (BCM) acts as a splice to connect each module and the Data Link Connector
(DLC) together. Each module is wired in parallel to
the data bus through its PCI chip set and uses its
ground as the bus reference. The wiring is a minimum 20 gage wire.

OPERATION
The crankshaft position sensor detects slots cut
into the transmission driveplate extension (Fig. 6).
There are 3 sets of slots. Each set contains 4 slots,
for a total of 12 slots (Fig. 7). Basic timing is set by
the position of the last slot in each group. Once the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) senses the last
slot, it determines crankshaft position (which piston
will next be at TDC) from the camshaft position sensor input. The 4 pulses generated by the crankshaft
position sensor represent the 69°, 49°, 29°, and 9°
BTDC marks. It may take the PCM one engine revolution to determine crankshaft position.

3 - FUEL INJECTORS
OPERATION
The fuel injectors are 12 volt electrical solenoids
(Fig. 10). The injector contains a pintle that closes off
an orifice at the nozzle end. When electric current is
supplied to the injector, the armature and needle
move a short distance against a spring, allowing fuel
to flow out the orifice. Because the fuel is under high
pressure, a fine spray is developed in the shape of a
hollow cone or two streams. The spraying action
atomizes the fuel, adding it to the air entering the
combustion chamber. Fuel injectors are not interchangeable between engines.
The PCM provides battery voltage to each injector
through the ASD relay. Injector operation is controlled by a ground path provided for each injector by
the PCM. Injector on-time (pulse-width) is variable,
and is determined by the PCM processing all the
data previously discussed to obtain the optimum
injector pulse width for each operating condition. The

FUEL PUMP RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The fuel pump relay is located in the PDC. The
inside top of the PDC cover has a label showing relay
and fuse location.
OPERATION
The fuel pump relay supplies battery voltage to the
fuel pump. A buss bar in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) supplies voltage to the solenoid side and
contact side of the relay. The fuel pump relay power
circuit contains a fuse between the buss bar in the
PDC and the relay. The fuse is located in the PDC.
Refer to the Wiring Diagrams for circuit information.
The PCM controls the fuel pump relay by switching the ground path for the solenoid side of the relay
on and off. The PCM turns the ground path off when
the ignition switch is in the Off position. When the
ignition switch is in the On position, the PCM energizes the fuel pump. If the crankshaft position sensor
does not detect engine rotation, the PCM de-energizes the relay after approximately one second.

OPERATION
IDLE AIR CONTROL MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The idle air control motor is mounted on the throttle body. The PCM operates the idle air control motor
(Fig. 14) or (Fig. 15).
The PCM adjusts engine idle speed through the
idle air control motor to compensate for engine load,
coolant temperature or barometric pressure changes.
The throttle body has an air bypass passage that
provides air for the engine during closed throttle idle.
The idle air control motor pintle protrudes into the
air bypass passage and regulates air flow through it.
The PCM adjusts engine idle speed by moving the
IAC motor pintle in and out of the bypass passage. The
adjustments are based on inputs the PCM receives.
The inputs are from the throttle position sensor, crankshaft position sensor, coolant temperature sensor, MAP
sensor, vehicle speed sensor and various switch operations (brake, park/neutral, air conditioning).
When engine rpm is above idle speed, the IAC is
used for the following functions:
• Off-idle dashpot
• Deceleration air flow control
• A/C compressor load control (also opens the passage slightly before the compressor is engaged so
that the engine rpm does not dip down when the
compressor engages)

the inlet air temperature sensor to determine values
to use as an intake air temperature sensor and a battery temperature sensor.
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor value is
used by the PCM to determine air density.
The PCM uses this information to calculate:
• Injector pulse width
• Adjustment of ignition timing (to prevent spark
knock at high intake air temperatures)
Battery Temperature
The inlet air temperature sensor replaces the
intake air temperature sensor and the battery temperature sensor. The PCM uses the information from
the inlet air temperature sensor to determine values
for the PCM to use as an intake air temperature sensor and a battery temperature sensor.

data from monitored line voltage (B+), is used by the
PCM to vary the battery charging rate. System volt-

age will be higher at colder temperatures and is
gradually reduced at warmer temperatures.
The battery temperature information is also used
for OBD II diagnostics. Certain faults and OBD II
monitors are either enabled or disabled depending
upon the battery temperature sensor input (example:
disable purge, enable LDP). Most OBD II monitors
are disabled below 20°F.
MAP SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The MAP sensor (Fig. 18) or (Fig. 19) mounts to
the intake manifold. The sensor is connects electrically to the PCM.
Fig. 18 MAP SENSOR - 2.4L
Fig. 19 MAP SENSOR - 3.3/3.8L
OPERATION
The MAP serves as a PCM input, using a silicon
based sensing unit, to provide data on the manifold
vacuum that draws the air/fuel mixture into the combustion chamber. The PCM requires this information
to determine injector pulse width and spark advance.
When MAP equals Barometric pressure, the pulse
width will be at maximum.
Also like the cam and crank sensors, a 5 volt reference is supplied from the PCM and returns a voltage signal to the PCM that reflects manifold
pressure. The zero pressure reading is 0.5V and full
scale is 4.5V. For a pressure swing of 0 — 15 psi the
voltage changes 4.0V. The sensor is supplied a regulated 4.8 to 5.1 volts to operate the sensor. Like the
cam and crank sensors ground is provided through
the sensor return circuit.
The MAP sensor input is the number one contributor to pulse width. The most important function of
the MAP sensor is to determine barometric pressure.
The PCM needs to know if the vehicle is at sea level
or is it in Denver at 5000 feet above sea level,
because the air density changes with altitude. It will
also help to correct for varying weather conditions. If
a hurricane was coming through the pressure would
be very, very low or there could be a real fair
weather, high pressure area. This is important
because as air pressure changes the barometric pressure changes. Barometric pressure and altitude have
a direct inverse correlation, as altitude goes up barometric goes down. The first thing that happens as
the key is rolled on, before reaching the crank position, the PCM powers up, comes around and looks at
the MAP voltage, and based upon the voltage it sees,
it knows the current barometric pressure relative to
altitude. Once the engine starts, the PCM looks at
the voltage again, continuously every 12 milliseconds,
and compares the current voltage to what it was at
key on. The difference between current and what it
was at key on is manifold vacuum.
During key On (engine not running) the sensor
reads (updates) barometric pressure. A normal range
can be obtained by monitoring known good sensor in
you work area.
As the altitude increases the air becomes thinner
(less oxygen). If a vehicle is started and driven to a
very different altitude than where it was at key On
the barometric pressure needs to be updated. Any
time the PCM sees Wide Open throttle, based upon
TPS angle and RPM it will update barometric pressure in the MAP memory cell. With periodic updates,
the PCM can make its calculations more effectively.
The PCM uses the MAP sensor to aid in calculating the following:
• Barometric pressure
• Engine load
14 - 30
FUEL INJECTION
RS
MAP SENSOR (Continued)
• Manifold pressure
• Injector pulse-width
• Spark-advance programs
• Shift-point strategies (F4AC1 transmissions
only, via the PCI bus)
• Idle speed
• Decel fuel shutoff
The PCM recognizes a decrease in manifold pressure by monitoring a decrease in voltage from the
reading stored in the barometric pressure memory
cell. The MAP sensor is a linear sensor; as pressure
changes, voltage changes proportionately. The range
of voltage output from the sensor is usually between
4.6 volts at sea level to as low as 0.3 volts at 26 in. of
Hg. Barometric pressure is the pressure exerted by
the atmosphere upon an object. At sea level on a
standard day, no storm, barometric pressure is 29.92
in Hg. For every 100 feet of altitude barometric pressure drops .10 in. Hg. If a storm goes through it can
either add, high pressure, or decrease, low pressure,
from what should be present for that altitude. You
should make a habit of knowing what the average
pressure and corresponding barometric pressure is
for your area.

The oxygen sensors are equipped with a heating
element that keeps the sensors at proper operating
temperature during all operating modes. Maintaining
correct sensor temperature at all times allows the
system to enter into closed loop operation sooner.
Also, it allows the system to remain in closed loop
operation during periods of extended idle.
In Closed Loop operation the PCM monitors the O2
sensors input (along with other inputs) and adjusts
the injector pulse width accordingly. During Open
Loop operation the PCM ignores the O2 sensor input.
The PCM adjusts injector pulse width based on preprogrammed (fixed) values and inputs from other
sensors.
The Automatic Shutdown (ASD) relay supplies battery voltage to both the upstream and downstream
heated oxygen sensors. The oxygen sensors are
equipped with a heating element. The heating elements reduce the time required for the sensors to
reach operating temperature. The PCM uses pulse
width modulation to control the ground side of the
heater to regulate the temperature on 4 cyl.
upstream O2 heater only. All other 4 cyl. and 6 cyl.
O2 heaters do not use pulse width modulation.
OPERATION
UPSTREAM OXYGEN SENSOR
A single sensor ground is used for all O2 sensors (2
senors on 4 cyl. vehicles and 4 sensors on 6 cyl. vehicles).
As vehicles accumulate mileage, the catalytic convertor deteriorates. The deterioration results in a
less efficient catalyst. To monitor catalytic convertor
deterioration, the fuel injection system uses two
heated oxygen sensors. One sensor upstream of the
catalytic convertor, one downstream of the convertor.
The PCM compares the reading from the sensors to
calculate the catalytic convertor oxygen storage
capacity and converter efficiency. Also, the PCM uses
the upstream heated oxygen sensor input when
adjusting injector pulse width.
When the catalytic converter efficiency drops below
emission standards, the PCM stores a diagnostic
trouble code and illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
The O2 sensors produce voltages from 0 to 1 volt,
depending upon the oxygen content of the exhaust
gas. When a large amount of oxygen is present
(caused by a lean air/fuel mixture, can be caused by
misfire and exhaust leaks), the sensors produces a
low voltage. When there is a lesser amount of oxygen
present (caused by a rich air/fuel mixture, can be
caused by internal engine problems) it produces a
higher voltage. By monitoring the oxygen content
and converting it to electrical voltage, the sensors act
as a rich-lean switch.
The input from the upstream heated oxygen sensor
tells the PCM the oxygen content of the exhaust gas.
Based on this input, the PCM fine tunes the air-fuel
ratio by adjusting injector pulse width.
The sensor input switches from 0 to 1 volt, depending upon the oxygen content of the exhaust gas in
the exhaust manifold. When a large amount of oxygen is present (caused by a lean air-fuel mixture), the
sensor produces voltage as low as 0.1 volt. When
there is a lesser amount of oxygen present (rich airfuel mixture) the sensor produces a voltage as high
as 1.0 volt. By monitoring the oxygen content and
converting it to electrical voltage, the sensor acts as
a rich-lean switch.
The heating element in the sensor provides heat to
the sensor ceramic element. Heating the sensor
allows the system to enter into closed loop operation
sooner. Also, it allows the system to remain in closed
loop operation during periods of extended idle.
In Closed Loop, the PCM adjusts injector pulse
width based on the upstream heated oxygen sensor
input along with other inputs. In Open Loop, the
PCM adjusts injector pulse width based on preprogrammed (fixed) values and inputs from other sensors.
DOWNSTREAM OXYGEN SENSOR
The downstream heated oxygen sensor input is
used to detect catalytic convertor deterioration. As
the convertor deteriorates, the input from the down-

stream sensor begins to match the upstream sensor
input except for a slight time delay. By comparing
the downstream heated oxygen sensor input to the
input from the upstream sensor, the PCM calculates
catalytic convertor efficiency. Also used to establish
the upstream O2 goal voltage (switching point).

The signal represents throttle blade position. As
the position of the throttle blade changes, the resistance of the TPS changes.
The PCM supplies approximately 5 volts to the
TPS. The TPS output voltage (input signal to the
powertrain control module) represents throttle blade
position. The TPS output voltage to the PCM varies
from approximately 0.6 volt at minimum throttle
opening (idle) to a maximum of 4.5 volts at wide open
throttle.
Along with inputs from other sensors, the PCM

WARNING - HIGH FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE
WARNING:: THE INJECTION PUMP SUPPLIES HIGHPRESSURE FUEL TO EACH INDIVIDUAL INJECTOR
THROUGH HIGH-PRESSURE LINES. FUEL UNDER
THIS AMOUNT OF PRESSURE CAN PENETRATE
SKIN AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. WEAR
SAFETY GOGGLES AND ADEQUATE PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING. AVOID CONTACT WITH FUEL SPRAY
WHEN BLEEDING HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL LINES.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AIR IN FUEL
SYSTEM
Air will enter the fuel system whenever fuel supply
lines, separator filters, injection pump, high-pressure
lines or injectors are removed or disconnected. Air
trapped in the fuel system can result in hard starting, a rough running engine, engine misfire, low
power, excessive smoke and fuel knock. After service
is performed, air must be bled from the system
before starting the engine.
Inspect the fuel system from the fuel tank to the
injectors for loose connections. Leaking fuel is an
indicator of loose connections or defective seals. Air
can also enter the fuel system between the fuel tank
and the transfer pump. Inspect the fuel tank and fuel
lines for damage that might allow air into the system.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FUEL SUPPLY
RESTRICTIONS
LOW-PRESSURE LINES
Fuel supply line restrictions or a defective fuel
transfer pump can cause starting problems and prevent engine from accelerating. The starting problems
include; low power and/or white fog like exhaust.

FUEL SYSTEM
RG
FUEL SYSTEM 2.5L TURBO DIESEL (Continued)
Test all fuel supply lines for restrictions or blockage. Flush or replace as necessary. Bleed fuel system
of air once a fuel supply line has been replaced. Refer
to Air Bleed Procedure for procedures.
To test for fuel line restrictions, a vacuum restriction test may be performed.
HIGH-PRESSURE LINES
Restricted (kinked or bent) high-pressure lines can
cause starting problems, poor engine performance,
engine mis-fire and white smoke from exhaust.
Examine all high-pressure lines for any damage.
Each radius on each high-pressure line must be
smooth and free of any bends or kinks.
Replace damaged, restricted or leaking high-pressure fuel lines with correct replacement line.
CAUTION: High pressure lines cannot contact each
other or other components. Do not attempt to weld
high-pressure fuel lines or to repair lines that are
damaged. If line is kinked or bent, it must be
replaced. Use only recommended lines when
replacement of high-pressure fuel line is necessary.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS
CAUTION: Cleanliness cannot be overemphasized
when handling or replacing diesel fuel system components. This especially includes the fuel injectors,
high-pressure fuel lines, fuel rail, and fuel injection
pump. Very tight tolerances are used with these
parts. Dirt contamination could cause rapid part
wear and possible plugging of fuel injector nozzle
tip holes. This in turn could lead to possible engine
misfire. Always wash/clean any fuel system component thoroughly before disassembly and then air
dry. Cap or cover any open part after disassembly.
Before assembly, examine each part for dirt, grease
or other contaminants and clean if necessary. When
installing new parts, lubricate them with clean
engine oil or clean diesel fuel only.

FUEL RAIL
DESCRIPTION
The fuel rail is mounted to the cylinder head cover/
intake manifold (Fig. 1).
OPERATION
The fuel rail stores the fuel for the injectors at
high pressure. At the same time, the pressure oscillations which are generated due to the high-pressure
pump delivery and the injection of fuel are dampened
by the rail volume.
The fuel rail is common to all cylinders, hence it’s
name “common rail”. Even when large quantities of
fuel are extracted, the fuel rail maintains a constant
inner pressure. This ensures that the injection pressure remains constant from the moment the injector
opens.

FUEL LINES
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
All fuel lines up to the fuel injection pump are considered low-pressure. This includes the fuel lines
from: the fuel tank to the fuel transfer pump, and
the fuel transfer pump to the fuel injection pump.
The fuel return lines and the fuel drain lines are also
considered low-pressure lines. High-pressure lines
are used between the fuel injection pump and the
fuel injectors. Also refer to High-Pressure Fuel Lines
Description/Operation.
PRESSURE CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY IF
CONTACT IS MADE WITH THE SKIN.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HIGH PRESSURE
FUEL LINES
High-pressure fuel line leaks can cause starting
problems and poor engine performance.
WARNING: DUE TO EXTREME FUEL PRESSURES,
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN INSPECTING FOR
HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL LEAKS. DO NOT GET YOUR
HAND NEAR A SUSPECTED LEAK. INSPECT FOR
HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL LEAKS WITH A SHEET OF
CARDBOARD. HIGH FUEL INJECTION PRESSURE
CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY IF CONTACT IS
MADE WITH THE SKIN.
Start the engine. Move the cardboard over the
high-pressure fuel lines and check for fuel spray onto
the cardboard (Fig. 4). If a high-pressure line connection is leaking, bleed the system and tighten the connection. Refer to the Air Bleed Procedure in this
group for procedures. Replace damaged, restricted or
leaking high-pressure fuel lines with the correct
replacement line.
DESCRIPTION - HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINES
The high-pressure fuel lines are the 4 lines located
between the fuel injection pump and the fuel injectorsctor tubes. All other fuel lines are considered lowpressure lines.
OPERATION - HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINES
CAUTION: The high-pressure fuel lines cannot contact each other or other components. Do not
attempt to weld high-pressure fuel lines or to repair
lines that are damaged. If lines are ever kinked or
bent, they must be replaced. Use only the recommended lines when replacement of high-pressure
fuel line is necessary.
High-pressure fuel lines deliver fuel under
extremely high pressure from the injection pump to
the fuel injectors. The lines expand and contract from
the high-pressure fuel pulses generated during the
injection process. All high-pressure fuel lines are of
the same length and inside diameter. Correct highpressure fuel line usage and installation is critical to
smooth engine operation.
WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN
INSPECTING FOR HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL LEAKS.

FUEL TRANSFER PUMP
DESCRIPTION
The fuel transfer pump (fuel lift pump) is located
under the vehicle in front of the rear axle assembly
(Fig. 5). The 12–volt electric vane-type pump is operated and controlled by the Engine Control Module
(ECM).
OPERATION
The purpose of the fuel transfer pump is to supply
(transfer) a low-pressure fuel source: from the fuel
tank, through the fuel filter/water separator and to
the fuel injection pump. Here, the low-pressure is
raised to a high-pressure by the fuel injection pump
for operation of the high-pressure fuel injectors.
The fuel transfer pump is controlled by the Engine
Control Module(ECM). The ECM turns the fuel
transfer pump on for 30 seconds when the ignition
ket is turned “ON”.
With the ignition “ON” and fuel tranfer pump running, the low-pressure fuel pressure should be 13-17
psi.
FUEL INJECTION PUMP

OPERATION
The sensor sends an input to the Engine Control
Module (ECM) when it senses water in the fuel filter/
water separator. As the water level in the filter/separator increases, the resistance across the WIF
sensor decreases. This decrease in resistance is sent
as a signal to the ECM and compared to a high
water standard value. Once the value reaches 30 to
40 kilohms, the ECM will activate the water-in-fuel
warning lamp through CCD bus circuits. This all
takes place when the ignition key is initially put in
the ON position. The ECM continues to monitor the
input at the end of the intake manifold air heater
post-heat cycle.

FUEL INJECTOR
DESCRIPTION
FUEL INJECTOR
There are individual fuel injectors for all four cylinders. These fuel injectors are used to spray fuel
into the combustion chamber (Fig. 1).
OPERATION
The injector operation can be subdivided into four
operating states with the engine running and the
high-pressure pump generating pressure:
• Injector closed (with high pressure applied)
• Injector opens (start of injection)
• Injector opened fully
• Injector closes (end of injection)
Injector closed (with high pressure applied)
With the injector closed (at-rest state), the solenoid
valve is not energized and is therefore closed. With
the bleed orifice closed, the valve spring forces the
armature’s ball onto the bleed-orifice seat. The rail’s
high pressure build up in the valve control chamber,
and the same pressure is also present in the nozzle’s
chamber volume. The rail pressure applied at the
control plunger’s end face, together with the force of

FUEL INJECTOR (Continued)
The force exerted by the triggered solenoid now
exceeds that of the valve spring and the armature
opens the bleed orifice. Almost immediately, the highlevel pick-up current is reduced to the lower holding
current required for the electromagnet. This is possible due to the magnetic circuit’s air gap now being
smaller. When the bleed orifice opens, fuel can flow
from the valve control chamber into the cavity situated above it, and from there via the fuel return to
the tank. The bleed orifice prevents complete pressure balance, and the pressure in the valve control
chamber sinks as a result. This leads to the pressure
in the valve-control chamber being lower than that in
the nozzle’s chamber volume which is still at the
same pressure level as the rail. The reduced pressure
in the valve-control chamber causes a reduction in
the force exerted on the control plunger, the nozzle
needle open as a result, and injection starts (Fig. 2).
Injector opens fully
The control plunger reaches its upper stop where it
remains supported by a cushion of fuel which is generated by the flow of fuel between the bleed and feed
orifices. The injector nozzle has now opened fully,
and the fuel is injected into the combustion chamber
at a pressure almost equal to that in the fuel rail
(Fig. 2).
Injector closes (end of injection)

the nozzle spring, maintain the nozzle in the closed
position against the opening forces applied to its
pressure stage (Fig. 2).
Injector opens (start of injection)
The solenoid valve is energized with the pickup
current which serves to ensure that it open quickly.
As soon as the solenoid valve is no longer triggered, the valve spring forces the armature downwards and the ball closes the bleed orifice. The
armature is a 2–piece design. Here, although the
armature plate is guided by a driver shoulder in its
downward movement, it can “overspring” with the
return spring so that it exerts no downwards-acting
forces on the armature and the ball. The closing of
the bleed orifice lead to pressure build up in the control chamber via the input from the feed orifice. This
pressure is the same as that in the rail and exerts an
increased force on the control plunger through its
end face. This force, together with that of the spring,
now exceeds the force exerted by the chamber volume
and the nozzle needle closes. Injection ceases as soon
as the nozzle needle comes up against its bottom stop
again (Fig. 2).

BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The boost pressure/ intake air temperature sensor
is mounted to the top of the intake manifold. The
sensor allows the ECM to monitor air pressure
within the intake manifold. This sensor is also used
to monitor the intake air temperature (Fig. 5).
Fig. 5 BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR/INTAKE AIR
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
OPERATION
When the intake manifold pressure is low (high
vacuum) sensor voltage output is 0.25-1.8 volts at the
ECM. When the intake manifold pressure is high due
to turbo boost, sensor voltage output is 2.0-4.7 volts.
The sensor receives a 5-volts reference from the
ECM. Sensor ground is also provides by the ECM.
The ECM uses boost pressure combined with intake
air temerature to determine the volume of air entering the engine.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BOOST
PRESSURE/INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
If the boost pressure sensor fails, the ECM records
a DTC into memory and continues to operate the
engine in one of the three limp-in modes. When the
ECM is operating in this mode, a loss of power will
be present, as if the turbocharger was not operating.
The best method for diagnosing faults with the boost
pressure sensor is with the DRB IIIt scan tool. Refer
to the Diesel Powertrain Diagnostic Manual for more
information.
Refer to On-Board Diagnostics in Emissions Control System for a list of Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTC’s) for certain fuel system components.

CONNECTOR
OPERATION
The intake air temperature sensor is a negative
temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor (resistance
varies inversly with temperature). This means at
cold air temperature its resistance is high, sothe voltage signal will be high. As intake air temperature
increases, sensor resistance decreases and the signal
voltage will be low. This allows the sensor to provide
an analog voltage signal (0.2-4.8 volts) to the ECM.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect negative battery cable.
(2) Remove engine cover retaining bolts and cover(Refer to 9 - ENGINE COVER - REMOVAL).
OPERATION
The crankshaft position sensor is a magnetic
pickup type sensor that generates an ac signal. The
sensor contains a permanent magent and a coil of
wire. The sensor generates an ac signal each time a
notch in the reluctor wheel on the crankshaft passes
across the permanent magnet. The ECM calculates
engine speed based on the frequency of the ac signal.
The ECM supplies the sensor ground.

The ECM uses the mass air flow (MAF) sensor to
measure air density. The MAF sensor contains a
ceramic element. A signal voltage is provided to the
element. As engine speed increases, airflow across
the ceramic element increases. Changes in air flow
and air density cause the temperature of the ceramic
element to fluxuate. The ceramic element changes
resistance respectively to changes in temperature.
The change in resistance varies the signal voltage
output to the ECM. The diesel power relay supplies
battery power the to MAF sensor. Ground is provided

HALF SHAFT - FRONT
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles use an unequal length half shaft system (Fig. 1).
The left half shaft uses a tuned rubber damper
weight. When replacing the left half shaft, be sure
the replacement half shaft has the same damper
weight as the original.
All half shaft assemblies use the same type of
inner and outer joints. The inner joint of both half
shaft assemblies is a tripod joint, and the outer joint
of both half shaft assemblies is a Rzeppa joint. Both
tripod joints and Rzeppa joints are true constant
velocity (CV) joint assemblies. The inner tripod joint
allows for the changes in half shaft length through
the jounce and rebound travel of the front suspension.
On vehicles equipped with ABS brakes, the outer
CV joint is equipped with a tone wheel used to determine vehicle speed for ABS brake operation.
The inner tripod joint of both half shafts is splined
into the transaxle side gears. The inner tripod joints
are retained in the side gears of the transaxle using
a snap ring located in the stub shaft of the tripod
joint. The outer CV joint has a stub shaft that is
splined into the wheel hub and retained by a steel
hub nut.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HALF SHAFT
VEHICLE INSPECTION
(1) Check for grease in the vicinity of the inboard
tripod joint and outboard CV joint; this is a sign of
inner or outer joint seal boot or seal boot clamp damage.
NOISE AND/OR VIBRATION IN TURNS
A clicking noise and/or a vibration in turns could
be caused by one of the following conditions:
• Damaged outer CV or inner tripod joint seal
boot or seal boot clamps. This will result in the loss
and/or contamination of the joint grease, resulting in
inadequate lubrication of the joint.
• Noise may also be caused by another component
of the vehicle coming in contact with the half shafts.
CLUNKING NOISE DURING ACCELERATION
This noise may be a result of one of the following
conditions:
• A torn seal boot on the inner or outer joint of the
half shaft assembly.

HALF SHAFT - REAR
DESCRIPTION
The inner and outer joints of both half shaft
assemblies are tripod joints. The tripod joints are
true constant velocity (CV) joint assemblies, which
allow for the changes in half shaft length through
the jounce and rebound travel of the rear suspension.
On vehicles equipped with ABS brakes, the outer
CV joint is equipped with a tone wheel used to determine vehicle speed for ABS brake operation.
The inner tripod joint of both half shafts is bolted
rear differential assembly’s output flanges. The outer
CV joint has a stub shaft that is splined into the
wheel hub and retained by a steel hub nut.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HALF SHAFT
VEHICLE INSPECTION
(1) Check for grease in the vicinity of the inboard
tripod joint and outboard CV joint; this is a sign of
inner or outer joint seal boot or seal boot clamp damage.
NOISE AND/OR VIBRATION IN TURNS
A clicking noise and/or a vibration in turns could
be caused by one of the following conditions:
• Damaged outer CV or inner tripod joint seal
boot or seal boot clamps. This will result in the loss
and/or contamination of the joint grease, resulting in
inadequate lubrication of the joint.

PROPELLER SHAFT
DESCRIPTION
WARNING: Due to propeller shaft imbalance concerns, the propeller shaft can only be serviced as
an assembly.
AWD models utilize a “two-piece” propeller shaft
(Fig. 1) to transmit power to the rear driveline module assembly. This two-piece design consists of:
• Front and rear shaft segments.
• Plunging center CV joint
• Center support bearing
• Rubber coupler at driveline module flange
The front shaft segment utilizes a CV joint at the
power transfer unit connection, and a plunging CV
joint at the center bearing location.
The rear shaft segment utilizes a center support
bearing at the forward position, and a rubber coupler
at the driveline module flange.
OPERATION
The propeller shaft (Fig. 1) is used to transmit
torque from the transaxle power transfer unit (PTU)

to the rear driveline module of AWD equipped models.
The propeller shaft front half utilizes a CV joint at
the PTU flange, and a plunging CV joint at the center bearing location. These joints are flexible, allowing for torsional movement of the powertrain.
The propeller shaft rear half utilizes a center support bearing, which supports this two-piece assembly.
The bearing also stabilizes the rear shaft segment to
minimize axle wind-up. The rubber coupler at the
driveline module flange dampens out propeller shaft
torsional vibrations, as the driveline module it connects to is fastened to the vehicle body.
REMOVAL
CAUTION: Propeller shaft removal is a two-man
operation. Never allow propeller shaft to hang while
connected to power transfer unit (PTU) or rear driveline module flanges. A helper is required.
(1) Make sure transaxle is in neutral (N). Using
chalk, mark propeller shaft flanges at PTU and rear
driveline module for installation reference.
(2) Remove six propeller shaft-to-power transfer
unit bolts.
(3) Have helper remove three propeller shaft rubber coupler-to-driveline module bolts while he/she
supports rear shaft by hand.
(4) Remove center bearing support-to-crossmember
bolts, while supporting front shaft with two hands.
(5) Lower propeller shaft assembly to ground,
using care not to damage fore and aft flanges (Fig.
1).
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Propeller shaft installation is a two-man
operation. Never allow propeller shaft to hang while
connected to power transfer unit (PTU) or rear driveline module flanges. A helper is required.
(1) Make sure transaxle is in Neutral (N) position.
(2) Obtain a helper and lift propeller shaft assembly into position (Fig. 1).
(3) While helper supports front half of shaft level
to underbody, align paint marks at driveline module
flange and install three propeller shaft rubber coupler-to-rear driveline module bolts by hand. Do not
torque at this time.
(4) While helper supports front half of shaft level
to underbody, align chalk marks at PTU flange.
Install six propeller shaft-to-PTU flange bolts and
torque to 30 N·m (22 ft. lbs.). Torque bolts alternately
to ensure proper flange mating.
(5) Place center bearing into position. Install and
torque center bearing-to-crossmember bolts to 54
N·m (40 ft. lbs.).
(6) Torque propeller shaft rubber coupler-to-rear
driveline module assembly to 54 N·m (40 ft. lbs.).

OPERATION
The primary benefits of All Wheel Drive are:
• Superior straight line acceleration, and cornering on all surfaces
• Better traction and handling under adverse conditions, resulting in improved hill climbing ability
and safer driving.
The heart of the system is an inter-axle viscous
coupling. The vehicle retains predominantly frontwheel drive characteristics, but the All Wheel Drive
capability takes effect when the front wheels start to
slip. Under normal level road, straight line driving,
100% of the torque is allocated to the front wheels.
The viscous coupling controls and distributes torque/
power to the rear wheels. The viscous coupling transmits torque to the rear wheels in proportion of the
amount of the slippage at the front wheels. Thais
variable torque distribution is automatic with no
driver inputs required. The coupling is similar to a
multi-plate clutch. It consists of a series of closely
spaced discs, which are alternately connected to the
front and rear drive units. The unit is totally sealed
and partially filled with silicone fluid. There is no

The overrunning clutch allows the rear wheels to
overrun the front wheels during a rapid front wheel
lock braking maneuver. The overrunning action prevents any feed-back of front wheel braking torque to
the rear wheels. It also allows the braking system to
control the braking behavior as a two wheel drive
(2WD) vehicle.
The overrunning clutch housing has a separate oil
sump and is filled independently from the differential. The fill plug is located on the side of the overrunning clutch case. When filling the overrunning
clutch with lubricant use Mopart ATF+4 (Automatic
Transmission Fluid—Type 9602) or equivalent.
The differential assembly contains a conventional
open differential with hypoid ring gear and pinion
gear set. The hypoid gears are lubricated by SAE
80W-90 gear lubricant.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REAR DRIVELINE
MODULE NOISE
Different sources can be the cause of noise that the
rear driveline module assembly is suspected of making. Refer to the following causes for noise diagnosis.
DRIVELINE MODULE ASSEMBLY NOISE
The most important part of driveline module service is properly identifying the cause of failures and
noise complaints. The cause of most driveline module
failures is relatively easy to identify. The cause of
driveline module noise is more difficult to identify.
If vehicle noise becomes intolerable, an effort
should be made to isolate the noise. Many noises that
are reported as coming from the driveline module
may actually originate at other sources. For example:
• Tires
• Road surfaces
3 - 26
REAR DRIVELINE MODULE
RS
REAR DRIVELINE MODULE (Continued)
• Wheel bearings
• Engine
• Transmission
• Exhaust
• Propeller shaft (vibration)
• Vehicle body (drumming)
Driveline module noises are normally divided into
two categories: gear noise or bearing noise. A thorough and careful inspection should be completed to
determine the actual source of the noise before
replacing the driveline module.
The rubber mounting bushings help to dampen-out
driveline module noise when properly installed.
Inspect to confirm that no metal contact exists
between the driveline module case and the body. The
complete isolation of noise to one area requires
expertise and experience. Identifying certain types of
vehicle noise baffles even the most capable technicians. Often such practices as:
• Increase tire inflation pressure to eliminate tire
noise.
• Listen for noise at varying speeds with different
driveline load conditions
• Swerving the vehicle from left to right to detect
wheel bearing noise.
All driveline module assemblies produce noise to a
certain extent. Slight carrier noise that is noticeable
only at certain speeds or isolated situations should be
considered normal. Carrier noise tends to peak at a
variety of vehicle speeds. Noise is NOT ALWAYS an
indication of a problem within the carrier.
TIRE NOISE
Tire noise is often mistaken for driveline module
noise. Tires that are unbalanced, worn unevenly or
are worn in a saw-tooth manner are usually noisy.
They often produce a noise that appears to originate
in the driveline module.
Tire noise changes with different road surfaces, but
driveline module noise does not. Inflate all four tires
with approximately 20 psi (138 kPa) more than the
recommended inflation pressure (for test purposes
only). This will alter noise caused by tires, but will
not affect noise caused by the differential. Rear axle
noise usually ceases when coasting at speeds less
than 30 mph (48 km/h); however, tire noise continues, but at a lower frequency, as the speed is
reduced.
After test has been completed lower tire pressure
back to recommended pressure.
GEAR NOISE (DRIVE PINION AND RING GEAR)
Abnormal gear noise is rare and is usually caused
by scoring on the ring gear and drive pinion. Scoring
is the result of insufficient or incorrect lubricant in
the carrier housing.
Abnormal gear noise can be easily recognized. It
produces a cycling tone that will be very pronounced
within a given speed range. The noise can occur during one or more of the following drive conditions:
• Drive
• Road load
• Float
• Coast
Abnormal gear noise usually tends to peak within
a narrow vehicle speed range or ranges. It is usually
more pronounced between 30 to 40 mph (48 to 64
km/h) and 50 to 60 mph (80 to 96 km/h). When objectionable gear noise occurs, note the driving conditions and the speed range.
BEARING NOISE (DRIVE PINION AND
DIFFERENTIAL)
Defective bearings produce a rough growl that is
constant in pitch and varies with the speed of vehicle. Being aware of this will enable a technician to
separate bearing noise from gear noise.
Drive pinion bearing noise that results from defective or damaged bearings can usually be identified by
its constant, rough sound. Drive pinion front bearing
is usually more pronounced during a coast condition.
Drive pinion rear bearing noise is more pronounced
during a drive condition. The drive pinion bearings
are rotating at a higher rate of speed than either the
differential side bearings or the axle shaft bearing.
Differential side bearing noise will usually produce
a constant, rough sound. The sound is much lower in
frequency than the noise caused by drive pinion bearings.
Bearing noise can best be detected by road testing
the vehicle on a smooth road (black top). However, it
is easy to mistake tire noise for bearing noise. If a
doubt exists, the tire treads should be examined for
irregularities that often causes a noise that resembles bearing noise.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION NOISE
Sometimes noise that appears to be in the driveline module assembly is actually caused by the
engine or the transmission. To identify the true
source of the noise, note the approximate vehicle
speed and/or RPM when the noise is most noticeable.
Stop the vehicle next to a flat brick or cement wall
(this will help reflect the sound). Place the transaxle
in NEUTRAL. Accelerate the engine slowly up
through the engine speed that matches the vehicle
speed noted when the noise occurred. If the same
noise is produced, it usually indicates that the noise
is being caused by the engine or transaxle.

BI-DIRECTIONAL
OVERRUNNING CLUTCH
DESCRIPTION
The bi-directional overrunning clutch (BOC) (Fig.
28) works as a mechanical disconnect between the
front and rear axles, preventing torque from being
transferred from the rear axle to the front. The BOC
is a simply an overrunning clutch which works in
both clockwise and counter-clockwise rotations. This
means that when the output (the rear axle) is rotating faster in one direction than the input (front axle),
there is no torque transmission. But when the input
speed is equal to the output speed, the unit becomes
locked. The BOC provides significant benefits regarding braking stability, handling, and driveline durability. Disconnecting the front and the rear driveline
during braking helps to maintain the braking stability of an AWD vehicle. In an ABS/braking event, the
locking of the rear wheels must be avoided for stability reasons. Therefore brake systems are designed to
lock the front wheels first. Any torque transfer from
the rear axle to the front axle disturbs the ABS/braking system and causes potential instabilities on a
RS
slippery surface. The BOC de-couples the rear driveline as soon the rear wheels begin to spin faster
than the front wheels (front wheels locked) in order
to provide increased braking stability. Furthermore
the BOC also reduces the likelihood of throttle off
over-steer during cornering. In a throttle off maneuver, the BOC once again de-couples the rear driveline
forcing all the engine brake torque to the front
wheels. This eliminates the chance of lateral slip on
the rear axle and increases it on the front. The vehicle will therefore tend to understeer, a situation
which is considered easier to manage in most circumstances. During this maneuver, and during the ABS
braking event, the BOC does not transmit torque
through to the rear wheels. The rear driveline module, with the BOC, will perform the same as a front
wheel drive vehicle during these events. The gear
ratio offset between the front and rear differentials
force the BOC into the overrunning mode most of the
time. This allows BOC to significantly reduce the
rolling resistance of the vehicle, which improves fuel
consumption, allows the downsizing of the driveline
components, and prevents the PTU and propshaft
joints from overheating.

BI-DIRECTIONAL OVERRUNNING CLUTCH (Continued)
OPERATION
In order to achieve all-wheel drive operation in
reverse, the overrunning clutch locking functional direction must be reversible. The bi-directional overrunning
clutch (BOC) changes the operational mode direction
depending on the propeller shaft direction. The propeller shaft rotates in the clockwise (when viewed from the
front) direction when the vehicle is moving forward,
which indexes the BOC to the forward overrunning
position. When the vehicle is in reverse, the propeller
shaft will rotate counter-clockwise and index the BOC
to the reverse overrunning position.
The BOC acts as a mechanical stator. It is active
(transmitting torque), or it is not active and in overrunning mode (not transmitting torque). This “all or
nothing” approach to torque transfer would cause a
sudden application of all available power to the rear
wheels, which is not desirable. Therefore it is run in
series with a viscous coupler to smooth, dampen, and
limit the transmission of torque to the rear axle and
to prevent a step style torque input to the rear axle.
STEADY STATE, LOW TO MODERATE SPEED, NO
FRONT WHEEL SLIP, FORWARD DIRECTION
During normal driving conditions, (no wheel slip), the
inner shaft (front axle) and outer race (viscous coupler)
are running at different speeds due to the different gear
ratios between the front and rear differentials. In this
condition, the outer race is always spinning faster (overdriving between 5-32 rpm) than the inner shaft. When
the BOC (Fig. 29) is running under these conditions, at
low vehicle speeds the drag shoes and the cage keep the
rollers up on the left side (forward side) of the inner
shaft flats. This is what is known as “overrunning
mode.” Notice that when the clutch is in overrunning
mode, the rollers are spinning clockwise and with the
outer race, thus no torque is being transferred.

Front Wheel Slip

are rotating at the same speed. The rollers are
pinched at this point and will stay locked until a
torque reversal (no front wheel slip) occurs. When
locked, the viscous coupler slips during the torque
transfer and the amount of torque transferred is
dependent on the coupling characteristic and the
amount of front wheel slip.
NOTE: Low speed, forward and reverse operation is
identical, just in opposite directions. (Fig. 29) shows
forward direction in reverse the rollers are on the other
side of the flats due to a reversal of the cage force.
TRANSIENT CONDITION (BOC LOCKED), FRONT
WHEEL SLIP, FORWARD DIRECTION
When the front wheels lose traction and begin to
slip, the propeller shaft and rear axle pinion speed
difference decreases to zero. At this point the input
shaft (cam) becomes the driving member of the BOC
(Fig. 30), compressing the rollers against the outer
race. This locks the input shaft with the outer race
and transmits torque to the housing of the viscous
coupler, that in turn transmits torque to the rear
axle pinion. It should also be noted that when the
device is locked, the inner shaft and the outer race

BI-DIRECTIONAL OVERRUNNING CLUTCH (Continued)
STEADY STATE, HIGH SPEED, NO WHEEL SLIP
The roller cage positions the rollers on the input shaft
flats during low and high speed overrunning and during
initial BOC lockup. The roller cage is rotating at input
shaft (propeller shaft) speed at all times. At low speeds,
the friction shoes (Fig. 31) are pressed against the friction ground via the garter spring (Fig. 32), creating a
drag force on the roller cage. The drag force positions
the cage, which in turn positions the rollers to one side
of the flat. The direction of this drag force (position of
the roller) is dependent on the input (propeller shaft)
rotational direction. Since the rollers are always in contact with the outer race, due to centrifugal forces, the
rollers want to follow the outer race due to drag. During
overrunning operation, the outer race is rotating faster
than the input; causing the rollers to want to traverse
the flat from one side to the other. During low speeds,
the brake shoes counteract this effect. To avoid excessive wear, the ground shoes are designed to lift off from
the friction ground due to centrifugal forces at higher
rotational speeds.

migrate to the opposite side of the flat due to the
drag force of the outer race. This would result in system lock-up. (Fig. 34) shows the BOC as it crosses
the speed where the brake shoe force is overcome by
the roller drag on the outer race. Notice that the
roller is locking up on the opposite side of the flat
and the cage supplies no force on the rollers.

To keep the rollers in the overrunning position and

effects follows as well. Utilizing only the friction
shoes approach means that at high speed the
required ground shoe drag torque would cause excessive brake shoe wear or the roller will begin to

Fig. 34 BOC Operation During High Speed Lock-up Without High Speed Latch
This lock-up is not desired, and requires the use of
another mechanism to prevent the lock-up. The
device that prevents undesired high-speed lock-up is
called a 9high speed latch9.
Similar to the friction shoes, the two-piece highspeed latch will separate from each other at high
rotational speeds due to centrifugal effects. (Fig. 35)
shows the high speed latch engaged. The gap 9x9
increases with speed, eventually locking into one of
the slots in the BOC shaft. When the high-speed
latch is activated (propeller shaft speed reaches X
amount), the cage is partially fixed, and cannot lock
on the wrong side of the flat as shown (Fig. 34). The
high speed latch is a one way device and does not
prevent high-speed lockup in the reverse direction. At
high speeds, the BOC provides the same function as
low speeds, transferring torque to the viscous coupler
only when front wheel slip overcomes the axle ratio
offset.

At high speed, the rollers are forced outward to the
outer race because of centrifugal force. At high
speeds, the friction shoes can no longer prevent lockup. When the teeth on the high-speed latch engage
into the input shaft, it keeps the rollers centered
above the flats because the tabs on the latch are
locked into the cage. (Fig. 36) shows the roller configuration with the High-Speed Latch engaged.

On the BOC shaft, the high speed latch teeth lock
up in the grooved areas, shown in (Fig. 37), when the
turning speed reaches the critical value. (Fig. 37)
also shows the outer race/viscous coupler. Notice the
surface (outer race) the rollers mate against when
transferring torque.
• The ring gear (bolted to the differential case)
rotates the case
• The differential pinion gears (mounted on the
pinion mate shaft in the case) rotate the side gears
• The side gears (splined to the axle shafts) rotate
the shafts
During straight-ahead driving, the differential pinion gears do not rotate on the pinion mate shaft. This
occurs because input torque applied to the gears is
divided and distributed equally between the two side
gears. As a result, the pinion gears revolve with the
pinion mate shaft but do not rotate around it (Fig.
38).
DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY
DESCRIPTION
The differential gear system divides the torque
between the axle shafts. It allows the axle shafts to
rotate at different speeds when turning corners.
Each differential side gear is splined to an axle
shaft. The pinion gears are mounted on a pinion
mate shaft and are free to rotate on the shaft. The
pinion gear is fitted in a bore in the differential case
and is positioned at a right angle to the axle shafts.
OPERATION
In operation, power flow occurs as follows:
• The pinion gear rotates the ring gear

When turning corners, the outside wheel must
travel a greater distance than the inside wheel to
complete a turn. The difference must be compensated
for to prevent the tires from scuffing and skidding
through turns. To accomplish this, the differential
allows the axle shafts to turn at unequal speeds (Fig.
39). In this instance, the input torque applied to the
pinion gears is not divided equally. The pinion gears
now rotate around the pinion mate shaft in opposite
directions. This allows the side gear and axle shaft
attached to the outside wheel to rotate at a faster
speed.

VISCOUS COUPLER
DESCRIPTION
The heart of the all-wheel drive system is the
inter-axle viscous coupling and bi-directional overrunning clutch. Under normal driving the vehicle
retains predominantly front wheel drive characteristics. The all-wheel drive takes effect when the front
wheels start to slip. Under normal level road,
straight line driving, 100% of the torque is allocated
to the front wheels. The viscous coupler allows more
torque to the rear wheels in accordance with the
amount of slippage at the front wheels. The variable
torque distribution is automatic with no driver
inputs required.
OPERATION
The viscous coupler (Fig. 46) is a housing nearly
filled with a high viscosity silicone liquid and thin
metal plates alternately splined to an inner and
outer drum. The viscous coupler provides torque in
the following modes:
• Shear mode (normal operation)
• Hump mode (locked mode)
RS
The inner plates are slotted around the radius and
the outer plates have holes in them. In the shear
mode (normal operation), the plates are evenly
spaced and the torque is created by the shearing of
the plates through the fluid and 90-100% of the
torque is applied to the rear axle. During the shear
mode, a fluid flow pattern is created from this design
(holes and slots). This fluid flow causes high pressure
on each side of each pair of plates and low pressure
between each pair of plates.
When a high speed difference (shear) occurs
because of loss of traction (one axle spinning faster
than the other), the silicone fluid expands as it heats
from this shearing. When the silicone expands to fill
the viscous coupler completely, this pressure difference is high enough to squeeze each pair of plates
together. The resulting hump torque is up to 8 times
higher than the shear torque. When the viscous coupler is in the hump mode, it does not lock the axles
(undifferentiated 4-Wheel Drive). It controls the
amount of slippage while delivering maximum power
to the axle having greatest traction. Once the speed
difference equalizes the fluid and plates cool down
and the viscous coupler goes back to the shear mode.

DESCRIPTION
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAGS, REFER TO ELECTRICAL, RESTRAINTS
BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL,
STEERING COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL
COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. FAILURE
TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD
RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAG, REFER TO ELECTRICAL, RESTRAINTS FOR
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE CABLE FROM THE BATTERY BEFORE SERVICING COMPONENTS INVOLVING THE AIRBAG
SYSTEM. ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAG
AND PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
The horn circuit consists of a horn switch, clockspring, horn relay, horns and Integrated Power Module (IPM). The horn switch is a membrane switch
located in the airbag trim cover. The horns are
located forward of the left front wheel behind the
bumper fascia.
OPERATION
The horn relay plugs into the Integrated Power
Module (IPM) which is located in the engine compartment. For circuit information and component
locations, refer to the appropriate wiring information.
The wiring information includes wiring diagrams,
proper wire and connector repair procedures, details
of wire harness routing and retention, connector pinout information and location views for the various
wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
The horns will not function if the switch is
“CLOSED” for more than 30 seconds. Once the
switch is “OPEN”, a 20–30 second delay will occur
before the horns are functional again.
Refer to Horn System Test below. If the horn does
not sound, check horn fuse located in the Integrated
Power Module (IPM). If the fuse is blown, replace
with the correct fuse. If the horns fail to sound and
the new fuse blows when depressing the horn switch,
a short circuit in the horn or the horn wiring
between the fuse terminal and the horn is responsible, or a defective horn switch allowed the horn to
burn out is responsible.
If the fuse is OK, test horn relay (Refer to 8 ELECTRICAL/HORN/HORN RELAY - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING).
If the relay is OK, test horn. Refer to Horn System
Test.
CAUTION: Continuous sounding of horn may
cause horn failure.
Should the horn sound continuously:
• Unplug the horn relay from IPM.
• Refer to (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/HORN/
HORN RELAY - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DESCRIPTION
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ENGINE
DIAGNOSIS - INTRODUCTION
The 2.4 Liter (148 cu. in.) in-line four cylinder
engine is a double over head camshaft with hydraulic
lash adjusters and four valve per cylinder design.
The engine is free-wheeling; meaning it has provisions for piston-to-valve clearance. However valve-tovalve interference can occur, if camshafts are rotated
independently.
The cylinders are numbered from front of the
engine to the rear. The firing order is 1–3–4–2.
The engine identification number is located on the
rear of the cylinder block (Fig. 1).

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ENGINE OIL LEAK
INSPECTION
Begin with a thorough visual inspection of the
engine, particularly at the area of the suspected leak.
If an oil leak source is not readily identifiable, the
following steps should be followed:
(1) Do not clean or degrease the engine at this
time because some solvents may cause rubber to
swell, temporarily stopping the leak.
(2) Add an oil soluble dye (use as recommended by
manufacturer). Start the engine and let idle for
approximately 15 minutes. Check the oil dipstick to
make sure the dye is thoroughly mixed as indicated
with a bright yellow color under a black light.
(3) Using a black light, inspect the entire engine
for fluorescent dye, particularly at the suspected area
of oil leak. If the oil leak is found and identified,
repair as necessary.
(4) If dye is not observed, drive the vehicle at various speeds for approximately 24 km (15 miles), and
repeat inspection.
(5) If the oil leak source is not positively
identified at this time, proceed with the air leak
detection test method as follows:
• Disconnect the fresh air hose (make-up air) at
the cylinder head cover and plug or cap the nipple on
the cover.
• Remove the PCV valve hose from the cylinder
head cover. Cap or plug the PCV valve nipple on the
cover.
• Attach an air hose with pressure gauge and regulator to the dipstick tube.
CAUTION: Do not subject the engine assembly to
more than 20.6 kpa (3 PSI) of test pressure.
• Gradually apply air pressure from 1 psi to 2.5
psi maximum while applying soapy water at the suspected source. Adjust the regulator to the suitable
test pressure that provides the best bubbles which
will pinpoint the leak source. If the oil leak is
detected and identified, repair per service manual
procedures.
• If the leakage occurs at the crankshaft rear oil
seal area, refer to the section, Inspection for Rear
Seal Area Leak.
(6) If no leaks are detected, turn off the air supply.
Remove the air hose, all plugs, and caps. Install the
PCV valve and fresh air hose (make-up air). Proceed
to next step.
(7) Clean the oil off the suspect oil leak area using
a suitable solvent. Drive the vehicle at various
speeds approximately 24 km (15 miles). Inspect the
engine for signs of an oil leak by using a black light.
NOTE: If oil leakage is observed at the dipstick tube
to block location; remove the tube, clean and reseal
using MoparT Stud & Bearing Mount (press fit tube
applications only), and for O-ring style tubes,
remove tube and replace the O-ring seal.
INSPECTION FOR REAR SEAL AREA LEAKS
Since it is sometimes difficult to determine the
source of an oil leak in the rear seal area of the
engine, a more involved inspection is necessary. The
following steps should be followed to help pinpoint
the source of the leak.
If the leakage occurs at the crankshaft rear oil seal
area:
(1) Disconnect the battery.
(2) Raise the vehicle.
RS
ENGINE 2.4L
9-9
ENGINE 2.4L (Continued)
(3) Remove torque converter or clutch housing
cover and inspect rear of block for evidence of oil.
Use a black light to check for the oil leak. If a leak is
present in this area, remove transmission for further
inspection.
(a) Circular spray pattern generally indicates
seal leakage or crankshaft damage.
(b) Where leakage tends to run straight down,
possible causes are a porous block, oil gallery cup
plug, bedplate to cylinder block mating surfaces
and seal bore. See proper repair procedures for
these items.
(4) If no leaks are detected, pressurize the crankcase as previously described.
CAUTION: Do not exceed 20.6 kPa (3 psi).
(5) If the leak is not detected, very slowly turn the
crankshaft and watch for leakage. If a leak is
detected between the crankshaft and seal while
slowly turning the crankshaft, it is possible the
crankshaft seal surface is damaged. The seal area on
the crankshaft could have minor nicks or scratches
that can be polished out with emery cloth.
CAUTION: Use extreme caution when crankshaft
polishing is necessary to remove minor nicks and
scratches. The crankshaft seal flange is especially
machined to complement the function of the rear oil
seal.
(6) For bubbles that remain steady with shaft
rotation, no further inspection can be done until disassembled.
(7) After the oil leak root cause and appropriate
corrective action have been identified, replace component(s) as necessary.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CYLINDER
COMPRESSION PRESSURE TEST
The results of a cylinder compression pressure test
can be utilized to diagnose several engine malfunctions.
Ensure the battery is completely charged and the
engine starter motor is in good operating condition.
Otherwise the indicated compression pressures may
not be valid for diagnosis purposes.
(1) Check engine oil level and add oil if necessary.
(2) Drive the vehicle until engine reaches normal
operating temperature. Select a route free from traffic and other forms of congestion, observe all traffic
laws, and accelerate through the gears several times
briskly.
(3) Remove all spark plugs from engine. As spark
plugs are being removed, check electrodes for abnormal firing indicators fouled, hot, oily, etc. Record cylinder number of spark plug for future reference.
(4) Remove the Auto Shutdown (ASD) relay from
the PDC.
(5) Be sure throttle blade is fully open during the
compression check.
(6) Insert compression gauge adaptor Special Tool
8116 or the equivalent, into the #1 spark plug hole in
cylinder head. Connect the 0–500 psi (Blue) pressure
transducer (Special Tool CH7059) with cable adaptors to the DRBIIIt. For Special Tool identification,
(Refer to 9 - ENGINE - SPECIAL TOOLS).
(7) Crank engine until maximum pressure is
reached on gauge. Record this pressure as #1 cylinder pressure.
(8) Repeat the previous step for all remaining cylinders.
(9) Compression should not be less than 689 kPa
(100 psi) and not vary more than 25 percent from cylinder to cylinder.
(10) If one or more cylinders have abnormally low
compression pressures, repeat the compression test.
(11) If the same cylinder or cylinders repeat an
abnormally low reading on the second compression
test, it could indicate the existence of a problem in
the cylinder in question. The recommended compression pressures are to be used only as a
guide to diagnosing engine problems. An engine
should not be disassembled to determine the
cause of low compression unless some malfunction is present.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CYLINDER
COMBUSTION PRESSURE LEAKAGE TEST
The combustion pressure leakage test provides an
accurate means for determining engine condition.
Combustion pressure leakage testing will detect:
• Exhaust and intake valve leaks (improper seating).
• Leaks between adjacent cylinders or into water
jacket.
• Any causes for combustion/compression pressure
loss.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE PRESSURE CAP
WITH THE SYSTEM HOT AND UNDER PRESSURE
BECAUSE SERIOUS BURNS FROM COOLANT CAN
OCCUR.
Check the coolant level and fill as required. DO
NOT install the pressure cap.
Start and operate the engine until it attains normal operating temperature, then turn the engine
OFF.
Clean spark plug recesses with compressed air.
Remove the spark plugs.
Remove the oil filler cap.
Remove the air cleaner.
9 - 10
ENGINE 2.4L
RS
ENGINE 2.4L (Continued)
Calibrate the tester according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The shop air source for testing
should maintain 483 kPa (70 psi) minimum, 1,379
kPa (200 psi) maximum, with 552 kPa (80 psi) recommended.
Perform the test procedures on each cylinder
according to the tester manufacturer’s instructions.
While testing, listen for pressurized air escaping
through the throttle body, tailpipe and oil filler cap
opening. Check for bubbles in the coolant.
All gauge pressure indications should be equal,
with no more than 25% leakage per cylinder.
FOR EXAMPLE: At 552 kPa (80 psi) input pressure, a minimum of 414 kPa (60 psi) should be maintained in the cylinder.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ENGINE CORE AND
OIL GALLERY PLUGS
Using a blunt tool such as a drift and a hammer,
strike the bottom edge of the cup plug. With the cup
plug rotated, grasp firmly with pliers or other suitable tool and remove plug (Fig. 2).
Thoroughly clean inside of cup plug hole in cylinder block or head. Be sure to remove old sealer.
Lightly coat inside of cup plug hole with Mopart
Stud and Bearing Mount. Make certain the new plug
is cleaned of all oil or grease. Using proper drive
plug, drive plug into hole so that the sharp edge of
the plug is at least 0.5 mm (0.020 in.) inside the

and camshaft bearing cap attaching threads) can be
repaired. Essentially, this repair consists of drilling
out worn or damaged threads, tapping the hole with
a special Heli-Coil Tap, (or equivalent) and installing
an insert into the tapped hole. This brings the hole
back to its original thread size.
CAUTION: Be sure that the tapped holes maintain
the original center line.
Heli-Coil tools and inserts are readily available
from automotive parts jobbers.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - HYDROSTATIC
LOCKED ENGINE
When an engine is suspected to be hydrostatically
locked, regardless of what caused the problem, the
following steps should be used.
CAUTION: DO NOT use starter motor to rotate the
engine, severe damage may occur.

(1) Inspect air cleaner, induction system and
intake manifold to insure system is dry and clear of
foreign material.
(2) Remove negative battery cable.
(3) Place a shop towel around the spark plugs
when removing them from the engine. This will catch
any fluid that may possibly be in the cylinder under
pressure.
(4) With all spark plugs removed, rotate engine
crankshaft using a breaker bar and socket.
(5) Identify the fluid in the cylinder(s) (i.e., coolant, fuel, oil or other).
(6) Make sure all fluid has been removed from the
cylinders. Inspect engine for damage (i.e., connecting
rods, pistons, valves, etc.)
(7) Repair engine or components as necessary to
prevent this problem from re-occurring.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - FORM-IN-PLACE
GASKETS AND SEALERS
There are numerous places where form-in-place
gaskets are used on the engine. Care must be taken
when applying form-in-place gaskets to assure
obtaining the desired results. Do not use form-inplace gasket material unless specified. Bead size,
continuity, and location are of great importance. Too
thin a bead can result in leakage while too much can
result in spill-over which can break off and obstruct
fluid feed lines. A continuous bead of the proper
width is essential to obtain a leak-free gasket.
There are numerous types of form-in-place gasket
materials that are used in the engine area. Mopart
Engine RTV GEN II, Mopart ATF-RTV, and Mopart
Gasket Maker gasket materials, each have different
properties and can not be used in place of the other.
MOPARt ENGINE RTV GEN II is used to seal
components exposed to engine oil. This material is a
specially designed black silicone rubber RTV that
retains adhesion and sealing properties when
exposed to engine oil. Moisture in the air causes the
material to cure. This material is available in three
ounce tubes and has a shelf life of one year. After one
year this material will not properly cure. Always
inspect the package for the expiration date before
use.
MOPARt ATF RTV is a specifically designed
black silicone rubber RTV that retains adhesion and
sealing properties to seal components exposed to
automatic transmission fluid, engine coolants, and
moisture. This material is available in three ounce
tubes and has a shelf life of one year. After one year
this material will not properly cure. Always inspect
the package for the expiration date before use.
MOPARt GASKET MAKER is an anaerobic type
gasket material. The material cures in the absence of
air when squeezed between two metallic surfaces. It
will not cure if left in the uncovered tube. The
anaerobic material is for use between two machined
surfaces. Do not use on flexible metal flanges.
MOPARt BED PLATE SEALANT is a unique
(green-in-color) anaerobic type gasket material that
is specially made to seal the area between the bed-
plate and cylinder block without disturbing the bearing clearance or alignment of these components. The
material cures slowly in the absence of air when
torqued between two metallic surfaces, and will rapidly cure when heat is applied.
MOPARt GASKET SEALANT is a slow drying,
permanently soft sealer. This material is recommended for sealing threaded fittings and gaskets
against leakage of oil and coolant. Can be used on
threaded and machined parts under all temperatures. This material is used on engines with multilayer steel (MLS) cylinder head gaskets. This
material also will prevent corrosion. Mopart Gasket
Sealant is available in a 13 oz. aerosol can or 4oz./16
oz. can w/applicator.
SEALER APPLICATION
Mopart Gasket Maker material should be applied
sparingly 1 mm (0.040 in.) diameter or less of sealant
to one gasket surface. Be certain the material surrounds each mounting hole. Excess material can easily be wiped off. Components should be torqued in
place within 15 minutes. The use of a locating dowel
is recommended during assembly to prevent smearing material off the location.
Mopart Engine RTV GEN II or ATF RTV gasket
material should be applied in a continuous bead
approximately 3 mm (0.120 in.) in diameter. All
mounting holes must be circled. For corner sealing, a
3.17 or 6.35 mm (1/8 or 1/4 in.) drop is placed in the
center of the gasket contact area. Uncured sealant
may be removed with a shop towel. Components
should be torqued in place while the sealant is still
wet to the touch (within 10 minutes). The usage of a
locating dowel is recommended during assembly to
prevent smearing material off the location.
Mopart Gasket Sealant in an aerosol can should be
applied using a thin, even coat sprayed completely
over both surfaces to be joined, and both sides of a
gasket. Then proceed with assembly. Material in a
can w/applicator can be brushed on evenly over the
sealing surfaces. Material in an aerosol can should be
used on engines with multi-layer steel gaskets.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ENGINE GASKET
SURFACE PREPARATION
To ensure engine gasket sealing, proper surface
preparation must be performed, especially with the
use of aluminum engine components and multi-layer
steel cylinder head gaskets.
Never use the following to clean gasket surfaces:
• Metal scraper
• Abrasive pad or paper to clean cylinder block
and head
• High speed power tool with an abrasive pad or a
wire brush (Fig. 3)
9 - 12
ENGINE 2.4L
RS
ENGINE 2.4L (Continued)
NOTE: Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets require
a scratch free sealing surface.
Only use the following for cleaning gasket surfaces:
• Solvent or a commercially available gasket
remover
• Plastic or wood scraper (Fig. 3)
• Drill motor with 3M Roloc™ Bristle Disc (white
or yellow) (Fig. 3)
CAUTION: Excessive pressure or high RPM (beyond
the recommended speed), can damage the sealing
surfaces. The mild (white, 120 grit) bristle disc is
recommended. If necessary, the medium (yellow, 80
grit) bristle disc may be used on cast iron surfaces
with care.
Fig. 4 Plastigage Placed in Lower Shell—Typical
1 - PLASTIGAGE
(3) Remove the bearing cap and compare the
width of the flattened Plastigage with the metric
scale provided on the package. Locate the band closest to the same width. This band shows the amount
of clearance in thousandths of a millimeter. Differences in readings between the ends indicate the
amount of taper present. Record all readings taken.
Compare clearance measurements to specs found in
engine specifications (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - SPECIFICATIONS). Plastigage generally is accompanied by two scales. One scale is in inches, the
other is a metric scale.

NOTE: Plastigage is available in a variety of clearance ranges. Use the most appropriate range for
the specifications you are checking.
(4) Install the proper crankshaft bearings to
achieve the specified bearing clearances.
REMOVAL - ENGINE ASSEMBLY
STANDARD PROCEDURE - MEASURING
BEARING CLEARANCE USING PLASTIGAGE
Engine crankshaft bearing clearances can be determined by use of Plastigage or equivalent. The following is the recommended procedure for the use of
Plastigage:
(1) Remove oil film from surface to be checked.
Plastigage is soluble in oil.
(2) Place a piece of Plastigage across the entire
width of the bearing shell in the cap approximately
6.35 mm (1/4 in.) off center and away from the oil
holes (Fig. 4). (In addition, suspected areas can be
checked by placing the Plastigage in the suspected
area). Torque the bearing cap bolts of the bearing
being checked to the proper specifications.

CYLINDER HEAD
DESCRIPTION
AIR CLEANER HOUSING
The cross flow designed, aluminum cylinder head
contains dual over-head camshafts with four valves
per cylinder (Fig. 13). The valves are arranged in two
in-line banks. The intake valves face toward the
front of the vehicle. The exhaust valves face the dash
panel. The cylinder head incorporates powdered
metal valve guides and seats. The cylinder head is
sealed to the block using a multi-layer steel head
gasket and retaining bolts.
Integral oil galleries provide lubrication passages
to the hydraulic lash adjusters, camshafts, and valve
mechanisms.
REMOVAL
OPERATION
(1) Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(2) Disconnect the inlet air temperature sensor
(Fig. 12).
(3) Remove the inlet hose to throttle body (Fig. 11).
(4) Remove the bolt for air box at upper radiator
cross member.
(5) Pull air box up and off over the single locating
pin.
(6) Remove air box from vehicle
The cylinder head closes the combustion chamber,
allowing the pistons to compress the fuel/air mixture
for ignition. The valves are actuated by the lobe profiles on the camshaft to open and close at specified
duration to either allow clean air in the combustion
chamber or the exhaust gases out; depending on the
stroke of the engine.
Fig. 11 AIR BOX COVER
INSTALLATION
(1) Install the air filter element into air box (Fig.
11).
(2) Move cover so that the tabs insert into the air
box.
(3) Push cover down and snap the 2 clips.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install air box into vehicle and onto the locating pin.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING—CYLINDER HEAD
GASKET
A cylinder head gasket leak can be located between
adjacent cylinders or between a cylinder and the
adjacent water jacket.
ENGINE 2.4L
RS
9 - 25
CYLINDER HEAD (Continued)
VISUAL TEST METHOD
With the engine cool, remove the coolant pressure
cap. Start the engine and allow it to warm up until
thermostat opens.
If a large combustion/compression pressure leak
exists, bubbles will be visible in the coolant.
COOLING SYSTEM TESTER METHOD
WARNING: WITH COOLING SYSTEM TESTER IN
PLACE, PRESSURE WILL BUILD UP FAST. EXCESSIVE PRESSURE BUILT UP, BY CONTINUOUS
ENGINE OPERATION, MUST BE RELEASED TO A
SAFE PRESSURE POINT. NEVER PERMIT PRESSURE TO EXCEED 138 kPa (20 psi).
Install Cooling System Tester 7700 or equivalent to
pressure cap neck. Start the engine and observe the
tester’s pressure gauge. If gauge pulsates with every
power stroke of a cylinder a combustion pressure
leak is evident.

CHEMICAL TEST METHOD
Combustion leaks into the cooling system can also
be checked by using Bloc-Chek Kit C-3685-A or
equivalent. Perform test following the procedures
supplied with the tool kit.
REMOVAL - CYLINDER HEAD
Possible indications of the cylinder head gasket
leaking between adjacent cylinders are:
• Loss of engine power
• Engine misfiring
• Poor fuel economy
Possible indications of the cylinder head gasket
leaking between a cylinder and an adjacent water
jacket are:
• Engine overheating
• Loss of coolant
• Excessive steam (white smoke) emitting from

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HYDRAULIC LASH
ADJUSTER NOISE DIAGNOSIS
A tappet-like noise may be produced from several
items. Check the following items.
(1) Engine oil level too high or too low. This may
cause aerated oil to enter the adjusters and cause
them to be spongy.
(2) Insufficient running time after rebuilding cylinder head. Low speed running up to 1 hour may be
required.
(3) During this time, turn engine off and let set for
a few minutes before restarting. Repeat this several
times after engine has reached normal operating
temperature.
(4) Low oil pressure.
(5) The oil restrictor (integral to the head gasket)
in the vertical oil passage to the cylinder head is
plugged with debris.
(6) Air ingested into oil due to broken or cracked
oil pump pick up.
(7) Worn valve guides.
(8) Rocker arm ears contacting valve spring
retainer.
(9) Rocker arm loose, adjuster stuck or at maximum extension and still leaves lash in the system.
(10) Faulty lash adjuster.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - PISTON TO
CYLINDER BORE FITTING
Piston and cylinder wall must be clean and dry.
Piston diameter should be measured 90 degrees to
piston pin about 14 mm (9/16 inch.) from the bottom
of the skirt as shown in (Fig. 42). Cylinder bores
should be measured halfway down the cylinder bore
and transverse to the engine crankshaft center line
shown in (Fig. 41). Refer to for Engine Specifications
(Refer to 9 - ENGINE - SPECIFICATIONS). Correct
piston to bore clearance must be established in order
to assure quiet and economical operation.
Fig. 41 Checking Cylinder Bore
NOTE: Pistons and cylinder bores should be measured at normal room temperature, 21°C (70°F).
STANDARD PROCEDURE - CYLINDER BORE
HONING
(1) Used carefully, the cylinder bore resizing hone,
recommended tool C-823 or equivalent, equipped
with 220 grit stones, is the best tool for this honing
procedure. In addition to deglazing, it will reduce
taper and out-of-round as well as removing light
scuffing, scoring or scratches. Usually a few strokes
will clean up a bore and maintain the required limits.
(2) Deglazing of the cylinder walls may be done
using a cylinder surfacing hone, recommended tool
C-3501 or equivalent, equipped with 280 grit stones,
if the cylinder bore is straight and round. 20–60
strokes depending on the bore condition, will be sufficient to provide a satisfactory surface. Use a light
honing oil. Do not use engine or transmission oil,
mineral spirits or kerosene. Inspect cylinder walls
after each 20 strokes.
Fig. 42 Piston Measurement
(3) Honing should be done by moving the hone up
and down fast enough to get a cross-hatch pattern.
When hone marks intersect at 40-60 degrees, the
cross hatch angle is most satisfactory for proper seating of rings (Fig. 43).
(4) A controlled hone motor speed between
200–300 RPM is necessary to obtain the proper crosshatch angle. The number of up and down strokes per
minute can be regulated to get the desired 40–60
degree angle. Faster up and down strokes increase
the cross-hatch angle.
(5) After honing, it is necessary that the block be
cleaned again to remove all traces of abrasive.
ENGINE 2.4L

CAUTION: Ensure all abrasives are removed from
engine parts after honing. It is recommended that a
solution of soap and hot water be used with a
brush and the parts then thoroughly dried. The bore
can be considered clean when it can be wiped
clean with a white cloth and cloth remains clean.
Oil the bores after cleaning to prevent rusting.
CLEANING
Clean cylinder block thoroughly using a suitable
cleaning solvent.
INSPECTION
ENGINE BLOCK
(1) Clean cylinder block thoroughly and check all
core hole plugs for evidence of leaking.

DESCRIPTION
The lubrication system is a full-flow filtration,
pressure feed type. The oil pump is mounted in the
front engine cover and driven by the crankshaft.
OPERATION
Engine oil drawn up through the pickup tube and
is pressurized by the oil pump and routed through
the full-flow filter to the main oil gallery running the
length of the cylinder block. A diagonal hole in each
bulkhead feeds oil to each main bearing. Drilled passages within the crankshaft route oil from main bearing journals to connecting rod journals. Balance shaft
lubrication is provided through an oil passage from
the number one main bearing cap through the balance shaft carrier support leg. This passage directly
supplies oil to the front bearings and internal
machined passages in the shafts that routes oil from
front to the rear shaft bearing journals. A vertical
hole at the number five bulkhead routes pressurized
oil through a restrictor (integral to the cylinder head
gasket) up past a cylinder head bolt to an oil gallery

ENGINE 3.3/3.8L
DESCRIPTION
The 3.3 Liter (201 cu. in.) and 3.8 Liter (231 cu.
in.) engines are 60° V-6 engines with cast iron cylinder blocks and aluminum cylinder heads (Fig. 1). The
engine uses a single, block mounted camshaft with
pushrods to actuate the valves. These engines do not
have provisions for a free wheeling valve train.
The firing order is 1–2–3–4–5–6. The cylinders are
numbered from the front of the engine to the rear.
The front cylinder bank is numbered 2, 4, and 6. The
rear cylinder bank is numbered 1, 3, and 5.
The engine identification number is located on the
rear of the cylinder block just below the cylinder
head (Fig. 2).

DIAGNOSIS - INTRODUCTION
Fig. 2 Engine Identification
Engine diagnosis is helpful in determining the
causes of malfunctions not detected and remedied by
routine maintenance.
These malfunctions may be classified as either
mechanical (e.g., a strange noise), or performance
(e.g., engine idles rough and stalls).
Refer to the Engine Mechanical and the Engine
Performance diagnostic charts, for possible causes
and corrections of malfunctions (Refer to 9 - ENGINE
- DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - MECHANICAL)
(Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
- PERFORMANCE).
For fuel system diagnosis, (Refer to 14 - FUEL
SYSTEM/FUEL DELIVERY - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING).
Additional tests and diagnostic procedures may be
necessary for specific engine malfunctions that cannot be isolated with the Service Diagnosis charts.
Information concerning additional tests and diagnosis is provided within the following:
• Cylinder Compression Pressure Test
• Cylinder Combustion Pressure Leakage Test
• Engine Cylinder Head Gasket Failure Diagnosis
• Intake Manifold Leakage Diagnosis
• Hydraulic Lash Adjuster Noise Diagnosis
• Engine Oil Leak Inspection

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ENGINE OIL LEAK
INSPECTION
Begin with a thorough visual inspection of the
engine, particularly at the area of the suspected leak.
If an oil leak source is not readily identifiable, the
following steps should be followed:
(1) Do not clean or degrease the engine at this
time because some solvents may cause rubber to
swell, temporarily stopping the leak.
(2) Add an oil soluble dye (use as recommended by
manufacturer). Start the engine and let idle for
approximately 15 minutes. Check the oil dipstick to
make sure the dye is thoroughly mixed as indicated
with a bright yellow color under a black light.
(3) Using a black light, inspect the entire engine
for fluorescent dye, particularly at the suspected area
of oil leak. If the oil leak is found and identified,
repair as necessary.
(4) If dye is not observed, drive the vehicle at various speeds for approximately 24 km (15 miles), and
repeat inspection.
(5) If the oil leak source is not positively
identified at this time, proceed with the air leak
detection test method as follows:
• Disconnect the fresh air hose (make-up air) at
the cylinder head cover and plug or cap the nipple on
the cover.
• Remove the PCV valve hose from the cylinder
head cover. Cap or plug the PCV valve nipple on the
cover.
• Attach an air hose with pressure gauge and regulator to the dipstick tube.
CAUTION: Do not subject the engine assembly to
more than 20.6 kpa (3 PSI) of test pressure.
• Gradually apply air pressure from 1 psi to 2.5
psi maximum while applying soapy water at the suspected source. Adjust the regulator to the suitable
test pressure that provides the best bubbles which
will pinpoint the leak source. If the oil leak is
detected and identified, repair per service manual
procedures.
• If the leakage occurs at the crankshaft rear oil
seal area, refer to the section, Inspection for Rear
Seal Area Leak.
(6) If no leaks are detected, turn off the air supply.
Remove the air hose, all plugs, and caps. Install the
PCV valve and fresh air hose (make-up air). Proceed
to next step.
(7) Clean the oil off the suspect oil leak area using
a suitable solvent. Drive the vehicle at various
speeds approximately 24 km (15 miles). Inspect the
engine for signs of an oil leak by using a black light.
NOTE: If oil leakage is observed at the dipstick tube
to block location; remove the tube, clean and reseal
using MoparT Stud & Bearing Mount (press fit tube
applications only), and for O-ring style tubes,
remove tube and replace the O-ring seal.
INSPECTION FOR REAR SEAL AREA LEAKS
Since it is sometimes difficult to determine the
source of an oil leak in the rear seal area of the
engine, a more involved inspection is necessary. The
following steps should be followed to help pinpoint
the source of the leak.
If the leakage occurs at the crankshaft rear oil seal
area:
(1) Disconnect the battery.
(2) Raise the vehicle.
RS
ENGINE 3.3/3.8L
9 - 83
ENGINE 3.3/3.8L (Continued)
(3) Remove torque converter or clutch housing
cover and inspect rear of block for evidence of oil.
Use a black light to check for the oil leak. If a leak is
present in this area, remove transmission for further
inspection.
(a) Circular spray pattern generally indicates
seal leakage or crankshaft damage.
(b) Where leakage tends to run straight down,
possible causes are a porous block, oil gallery cup
plug, bedplate to cylinder block mating surfaces
and seal bore. See proper repair procedures for
these items.
(4) If no leaks are detected, pressurize the crankcase as previously described.
CAUTION: Do not exceed 20.6 kPa (3 psi).
(5) If the leak is not detected, very slowly turn the
crankshaft and watch for leakage. If a leak is
detected between the crankshaft and seal while
slowly turning the crankshaft, it is possible the
crankshaft seal surface is damaged. The seal area on
the crankshaft could have minor nicks or scratches
that can be polished out with emery cloth.
CAUTION: Use extreme caution when crankshaft
polishing is necessary to remove minor nicks and
scratches. The crankshaft seal flange is especially
machined to complement the function of the rear oil
seal.
(6) For bubbles that remain steady with shaft
rotation, no further inspection can be done until disassembled.
(7) After the oil leak root cause and appropriate
corrective action have been identified, replace component(s) as necessary.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CYLINDER
COMPRESSION PRESSURE TEST
The results of a cylinder compression pressure test
can be utilized to diagnose several engine malfunctions.
Ensure the battery is completely charged and the
engine starter motor is in good operating condition.
Otherwise the indicated compression pressures may
not be valid for diagnosis purposes.
(1) Check engine oil level and add oil if necessary.
(2) Drive the vehicle until engine reaches normal
operating temperature. Select a route free from traffic and other forms of congestion, observe all traffic
laws, and accelerate through the gears several times
briskly.
(3) Remove all spark plugs from engine. As spark
plugs are being removed, check electrodes for abnormal firing indicators fouled, hot, oily, etc. Record cylinder number of spark plug for future reference.
(4) Remove the Auto Shutdown (ASD) relay from
the PDC.
(5) Be sure throttle blade is fully open during the
compression check.
(6) Insert compression gauge adaptor Special Tool
8116 or the equivalent, into the #1 spark plug hole in
cylinder head. Connect the 0–500 psi (Blue) pressure
transducer (Special Tool CH7059) with cable adaptors to the DRBIIIt. For Special Tool identification,
(Refer to 9 - ENGINE - SPECIAL TOOLS).
(7) Crank engine until maximum pressure is
reached on gauge. Record this pressure as #1 cylinder pressure.
(8) Repeat the previous step for all remaining cylinders.
(9) Compression should not be less than 689 kPa
(100 psi) and not vary more than 25 percent from cylinder to cylinder.
(10) If one or more cylinders have abnormally low
compression pressures, repeat the compression test.
(11) If the same cylinder or cylinders repeat an
abnormally low reading on the second compression
test, it could indicate the existence of a problem in
the cylinder in question. The recommended compression pressures are to be used only as a
guide to diagnosing engine problems. An engine
should not be disassembled to determine the
cause of low compression unless some malfunction is present.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CYLINDER
COMBUSTION PRESSURE LEAKAGE TEST
The combustion pressure leakage test provides an
accurate means for determining engine condition.
Combustion pressure leakage testing will detect:
• Exhaust and intake valve leaks (improper seating).
• Leaks between adjacent cylinders or into water
jacket.
• Any causes for combustion/compression pressure
loss.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE PRESSURE CAP
WITH THE SYSTEM HOT AND UNDER PRESSURE
BECAUSE SERIOUS BURNS FROM COOLANT CAN
OCCUR.
Check the coolant level and fill as required. DO
NOT install the pressure cap.
Start and operate the engine until it attains normal operating temperature, then turn the engine
OFF.
Clean spark plug recesses with compressed air.
Remove the spark plugs.
Remove the oil filler cap.
Remove the air cleaner.
9 - 84
ENGINE 3.3/3.8L
RS
ENGINE 3.3/3.8L (Continued)
Calibrate the tester according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The shop air source for testing
should maintain 483 kPa (70 psi) minimum, 1,379
kPa (200 psi) maximum, with 552 kPa (80 psi) recommended.
Perform the test procedures on each cylinder
according to the tester manufacturer’s instructions.
While testing, listen for pressurized air escaping
through the throttle body, tailpipe and oil filler cap
opening. Check for bubbles in the coolant.
All gauge pressure indications should be equal,
with no more than 25% leakage per cylinder.
FOR EXAMPLE: At 552 kPa (80 psi) input pressure, a minimum of 414 kPa (60 psi) should be maintained in the cylinder.
(3) Remove the bearing cap and compare the
width of the flattened Plastigage with the metric
scale provided on the package. Locate the band closest to the same width. This band shows the amount
of clearance in thousandths of a millimeter. Differences in readings between the ends indicate the
amount of taper present. Record all readings taken.
Compare clearance measurements to specs found in
engine specifications (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - SPECIFICATIONS). Plastigage generally is accompanied by two scales. One scale is in inches, the
other is a metric scale.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
(4) Install the proper crankshaft bearings to
achieve the specified bearing clearances.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - MEASURING
BEARING CLEARANCE USING PLASTIGAGE
Engine crankshaft bearing clearances can be determined by use of Plastigage or equivalent. The following is the recommended procedure for the use of
Plastigage:
(1) Remove oil film from surface to be checked.
Plastigage is soluble in oil.
(2) Place a piece of Plastigage across the entire
width of the bearing shell in the cap approximately
6.35 mm (1/4 in.) off center and away from the oil
holes (Fig. 3). (In addition, suspected areas can be
checked by placing the Plastigage in the suspected
area). Torque the bearing cap bolts of the bearing
being checked to the proper specifications.
Fig. 3 Plastigage Placed in Lower Shell—Typical
1 - PLASTIGAGE
NOTE: Plastigage is available in a variety of clearance ranges. Use the most appropriate range for
the specifications you are checking.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - FORM-IN-PLACE
GASKETS AND SEALERS
There are numerous places where form-in-place
gaskets are used on the engine. Care must be taken
when applying form-in-place gaskets to assure
obtaining the desired results. Do not use form-inplace gasket material unless specified. Bead size,
continuity, and location are of great importance. Too
thin a bead can result in leakage while too much can
result in spill-over which can break off and obstruct
fluid feed lines. A continuous bead of the proper
width is essential to obtain a leak-free gasket.
There are numerous types of form-in-place gasket
materials that are used in the engine area. Mopart
Engine RTV GEN II, Mopart ATF-RTV, and Mopart
Gasket Maker gasket materials, each have different
properties and can not be used in place of the other.
MOPARt ENGINE RTV GEN II is used to seal
components exposed to engine oil. This material is a
specially designed black silicone rubber RTV that
retains adhesion and sealing properties when
exposed to engine oil. Moisture in the air causes the
material to cure. This material is available in three
ounce tubes and has a shelf life of one year. After one
year this material will not properly cure. Always
inspect the package for the expiration date before
use.
MOPARt ATF RTV is a specifically designed
black silicone rubber RTV that retains adhesion and
sealing properties to seal components exposed to
automatic transmission fluid, engine coolants, and
moisture. This material is available in three ounce
tubes and has a shelf life of one year. After one year
this material will not properly cure. Always inspect
the package for the expiration date before use.
RS
ENGINE 3.3/3.8L

ENGINE 3.3/3.8L (Continued)
MOPARt GASKET MAKER is an anaerobic type
gasket material. The material cures in the absence of
air when squeezed between two metallic surfaces. It
will not cure if left in the uncovered tube. The
anaerobic material is for use between two machined
surfaces. Do not use on flexible metal flanges.
MOPARt BED PLATE SEALANT is a unique
(green-in-color) anaerobic type gasket material that
is specially made to seal the area between the bedplate and cylinder block without disturbing the bearing clearance or alignment of these components. The
material cures slowly in the absence of air when
torqued between two metallic surfaces, and will rapidly cure when heat is applied.
MOPARt GASKET SEALANT is a slow drying,
permanently soft sealer. This material is recommended for sealing threaded fittings and gaskets
against leakage of oil and coolant. Can be used on
threaded and machined parts under all temperatures. This material is used on engines with multilayer steel (MLS) cylinder head gaskets. This
material also will prevent corrosion. Mopart Gasket
Sealant is available in a 13 oz. aerosol can or 4oz./16
oz. can w/applicator.
SEALER APPLICATION
Mopart Gasket Maker material should be applied
sparingly 1 mm (0.040 in.) diameter or less of sealant
to one gasket surface. Be certain the material surrounds each mounting hole. Excess material can easily be wiped off. Components should be torqued in
place within 15 minutes. The use of a locating dowel
is recommended during assembly to prevent smearing material off the location.
Mopart Engine RTV GEN II or ATF RTV gasket
material should be applied in a continuous bead
approximately 3 mm (0.120 in.) in diameter. All
mounting holes must be circled. For corner sealing, a
3.17 or 6.35 mm (1/8 or 1/4 in.) drop is placed in the
center of the gasket contact area. Uncured sealant
may be removed with a shop towel. Components
should be torqued in place while the sealant is still
wet to the touch (within 10 minutes). The usage of a
locating dowel is recommended during assembly to
prevent smearing material off the location.
Mopart Gasket Sealant in an aerosol can should be
applied using a thin, even coat sprayed completely
over both surfaces to be joined, and both sides of a
gasket. Then proceed with assembly. Material in a
can w/applicator can be brushed on evenly over the
sealing surfaces. Material in an aerosol can should be
used on engines with multi-layer steel gaskets.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ENGINE GASKET
SURFACE PREPARATION
To ensure engine gasket sealing, proper surface
preparation must be performed, especially with the
use of aluminum engine components and multi-layer
steel cylinder head gaskets.
Never use the following to clean gasket surfaces:
• Metal scraper
• Abrasive pad or paper to clean cylinder block
and head
• High speed power tool with an abrasive pad or a
wire brush (Fig. 4)
NOTE: Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets require
a scratch free sealing surface.
Only use the following for cleaning gasket surfaces:
• Solvent or a commercially available gasket
remover
• Plastic or wood scraper (Fig. 4)
• Drill motor with 3M Roloc™ Bristle Disc (white
or yellow) (Fig. 4)
CAUTION: Excessive pressure or high RPM (beyond
the recommended speed), can damage the sealing
surfaces. The mild (white, 120 grit) bristle disc is
recommended. If necessary, the medium (yellow, 80
grit) bristle disc may be used on cast iron surfaces
with care.

(1) Inspect air cleaner, induction system and
intake manifold to insure system is dry and clear of
foreign material.
(2) Remove negative battery cable.
(3) Place a shop towel around the spark plugs
when removing them from the engine. This will catch
any fluid that may possibly be in the cylinder under
pressure.
(4) With all spark plugs removed, rotate engine
crankshaft using a breaker bar and socket.
(5) Identify the fluid in the cylinder(s) (i.e., coolant, fuel, oil or other).
(6) Make sure all fluid has been removed from the
cylinders. Inspect engine for damage (i.e., connecting
rods, pistons, valves, etc.)
(7) Repair engine or components as necessary to
prevent this problem from re-occurring.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ENGINE CORE AND
OIL GALLERY PLUGS
Using a blunt tool such as a drift and a hammer,
strike the bottom edge of the cup plug. With the cup

To determine if an engine cylinder head gasket is
leaking between adjacent cylinders, follow the procedures in Cylinder Compression Pressure Test (Refer
to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). An
engine cylinder head gasket leaking between adjacent cylinders will result in approximately a 50–70%
reduction in compression pressure.
CYLINDER HEAD
WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN THE
ENGINE IS OPERATING WITH COOLANT PRESSURE CAP REMOVED.
DESCRIPTION
The aluminum cylinder heads (Fig. 17) are
designed to create high flow combustion chambers to
improve performance, while minimizing the change
to the burn rate in the chamber. The cylinder head
incorporates the combustion chamber. Two valves
per-cylinder are used with inserted valve seats and
guides. A multi-layer steel (MLS) type gasket is used
between the cylinder head and engine block.
OPERATION
The cylinder head closes the combustion chamber,
allowing the pistons to compress the fuel/air mixture
for ignition. The valves are actuated by the lobe profiles on the camshaft to open and close at specified
duration to either allow clean air in the combustion
chamber or the exhaust gases out; depending on the
stroke of the engine.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING—CYLINDER HEAD
GASKET
A cylinder head gasket leak can be located between
adjacent cylinders or between a cylinder and the
adjacent water jacket.
Possible indications of the cylinder head gasket
leaking between adjacent cylinders are:
• Loss of engine power
• Engine misfiring
• Poor fuel economy
Possible indications of the cylinder head gasket
leaking between a cylinder and an adjacent water
jacket are:
• Engine overheating
• Loss of coolant
• Excessive steam (white smoke) emitting from
exhaust
• Coolant foaming
CYLINDER-TO-WATER JACKET LEAKAGE TEST
VISUAL TEST METHOD
With the engine cool, remove the coolant pressure
cap. Start the engine and allow it to warm up until
thermostat opens.
If a large combustion/compression pressure leak
exists, bubbles will be visible in the coolant.
COOLING SYSTEM TESTER METHOD
WARNING: WITH COOLING SYSTEM TESTER IN
PLACE, PRESSURE WILL BUILD UP FAST. EXCESSIVE PRESSURE BUILT UP, BY CONTINUOUS
ENGINE OPERATION, MUST BE RELEASED TO A
SAFE PRESSURE POINT. NEVER PERMIT PRESSURE TO EXCEED 138 kPa (20 psi).
Install Cooling System Tester 7700 or equivalent to
pressure cap neck. Start the engine and observe the
tester’s pressure gauge. If gauge pulsates with every
power stroke of a cylinder a combustion pressure
leak is evident.
CHEMICAL TEST METHOD
Combustion leaks into the cooling system can also
be checked by using Bloc-Chek Kit C-3685-A or
equivalent. Perform test following the procedures
supplied with the tool kit.
REMOVAL - CYLINDER HEAD
(1) Drain the cooling system. (Refer to 7 - COOLING - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
(2) Disconnect negative cable from battery.
(3) Remove upper and lower intake manifolds.
(Refer to 9 - ENGINE/MANIFOLDS/INTAKE MANIFOLD - REMOVAL)
WARNING: INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET IS MADE
OF VERY THIN METAL AND MAY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY, HANDLE WITH CARE.

CLEANING
To ensure engine gasket sealing, proper surface
preparation must be performed, especially with the
use of aluminum engine components and multi-layer
steel cylinder head gaskets.

Clean all engine oil passages.
INSPECTION
(1) Before cleaning, check for leaks, damage and
cracks.
(2) Clean cylinder head and oil passages.
(3) Check cylinder head for flatness (Fig. 19).
(4) Cylinder head must be flat within:
• Standard dimension = less than 0.05 mm (0.002

(3) Inspect the valve seat using Prussian blue to
determine where the valve contacts the seat. To do
this, coat valve seat LIGHTLYwith Prussian blue
then set valve in place. Rotate the valve with light
pressure. If the blue is transferred to the center of
valve face, contact is satisfactory. If the blue is transferred to top edge of valve face, lower valve seat with
a 15 degree stone. If the blue is transferred to the
bottom edge of valve face raise valve seat with a 65
degrees stone.
NOTE: Valve seats which are worn or burned can
be reworked, provided that correct angle and seat
width are maintained. Otherwise cylinder head must
be replaced.

DESCRIPTION
The cylinder block is made of cast iron and is a

STANDARD PROCEDURE - CYLINDER BORE
HONING
(1) Used carefully, the cylinder bore resizing hone,
recommended tool C-823 or equivalent, equipped
with 220 grit stones, is the best tool for this honing
procedure. In addition to deglazing, it will reduce
taper and out-of-round as well as removing light
scuffing, scoring or scratches. Usually a few strokes
will clean up a bore and maintain the required limits.
(2) Deglazing of the cylinder walls may be done
using a cylinder surfacing hone, recommended tool
C-3501 or equivalent, equipped with 280 grit stones,
if the cylinder bore is straight and round. 20–60
strokes depending on the bore condition, will be sufficient to provide a satisfactory surface. Use a light
honing oil. Do not use engine or transmission oil,
mineral spirits or kerosene. Inspect cylinder walls
after each 20 strokes.
(3) Honing should be done by moving the hone up
and down fast enough to get a cross-hatch pattern.
When hone marks intersect at 40-60 degrees, the
cross hatch angle is most satisfactory for proper seating of rings (Fig. 45).
(4) A controlled hone motor speed between
200–300 RPM is necessary to obtain the proper crosshatch angle. The number of up and down strokes per
minute can be regulated to get the desired 40–60
degree angle. Faster up and down strokes increase
the cross-hatch angle.
(5) After honing, it is necessary that the block be
cleaned again to remove all traces of abrasive.
Fig. 45 Cylinder Bore Cross-Hatch Pattern
1 - CROSS-HATCH PATTERN
2 - 40°–60°
CAUTION: Ensure all abrasives are removed from
engine parts after honing. It is recommended that a
solution of soap and hot water be used with a
brush and the parts then thoroughly dried. The bore
can be considered clean when it can be wiped
clean with a white cloth and cloth remains clean.
Oil the bores after cleaning to prevent rusting.
CLEANING
Clean cylinder block thoroughly using a suitable
cleaning solvent.
INSPECTION
ENGINE BLOCK
(1) Clean cylinder block thoroughly and check all
core hole plugs for evidence of leaking.
(2) If new core plugs are to be installed, (Refer to 9
- ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE - ENGINE
CORE AND OIL GALLERY PLUGS).
(3) Examine block and cylinder bores for cracks or
fractures.
(4) Check block deck surfaces for flatness. Deck
surface must be within service limit of 0.1 mm (0.004
in.).

abnormal wear and damage (Fig. 49). Replace camshaft as required.
NOTE: If camshaft is replaced due to lobe wear or
damage, always replace the lifters.
(2) Measure the lobe actual wear (unworn area wear zone = actual wear) (Fig. 49) and replace camshaft if out of limit. Standard value is 0.0254 mm
(0.001 in.), wear limit is 0.254 mm (0.010 in.).
(6) Install the timing chain and sprockets. (Refer
to 9 - ENGINE/VALVE TIMING/TIMING BELT/

(5) Measure camshaft end play. (Refer to 9 ENGINE - SPECIFICATIONS) If not within specifications, replace thrust plate.
The bearing caps are not interchangeable and
should be marked at removal to ensure correct
assembly. The bearing shells must be installed with
the tangs inserted into the machined grooves in the
rods and caps. Install cap with the tangs on the same
side as the rod. Fit all rods on one bank until complete. Connecting rod bearings are available in the
standard size and the following undersizes: 0.025
mm (0.001 in.) and 0.250 mm (0.010 in.).
CAUTION: Install the bearings in pairs. Do not use a
new bearing half with an old bearing half. Do not
file the rods or bearing caps.
Measure connecting rod journal for taper and outof-round. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/ENGINE BLOCK/
CRANKSHAFT - INSPECTION)
The connecting rod bearing clearances can be
determined by use of Plastigage or the equivalent.
The following is the recommended procedure for the
use of Plastigage:
(1) Rotate the crankshaft until the connecting rod
to be checked is at the bottom of its stroke.
(2) Remove oil film from surface to be checked.
Plastigage is soluble in oil.

(3) Place a piece of Plastigage across the entire
width of the bearing shell in the bearing cap approximately 6.35 mm (1/4 in.) off center and away from
the oil hole. In addition, suspect areas can be
checked by placing Plastigage in that area.
(4) Assemble the rod cap with Plastigage in place.
Tighten the rod cap to the specified torque. Do not
rotate the crankshaft while assembling the cap
or the Plastigage may be smeared, giving inaccurate results.
(5) Remove the bearing cap and compare the
width of the flattened Plastigage with the scale provided on the package (Fig. 50). Locate the band closest to the same width. This band indicates the
amount of oil clearance. Differences in readings
between the ends indicate the amount of taper
present. Record all readings taken. Refer to Engine
Specifications (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - SPECIFICATIONS). Plastigage generally is accompanied by
two scales. One scale is in inches, the other is a
metric scale. If the bearing clearance exceeds
wear limit specification, replace the bearing.

HYDRAULIC LIFTERS (CAM IN
BLOCK)
DESCRIPTION
The hydraulic lifters are a roller type design and are
positioned in the cylinder block. The lifters are aligned
and retained by a yoke and a retainer (Fig. 71).
Lifter alignment is maintained by machined flats
on lifter body. Lifters are fitted in pairs into six
aligning yokes. The aligning yokes are secured by a
yoke retainer (Fig. 71).
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HYDRAULIC
LIFTERS
HYDRAULIC LIFTERS DIAGNOSIS - PRELIMINARY
STEP
Before disassembling any part of the engine to correct lifter noise, check the engine oil pressure. (Refer
to 9 - ENGINE/LUBRICATION - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING)
Check engine oil level. The oil level in the pan
should never be above the MAX mark on dipstick, or
below the MIN mark. Either of these two conditions
could cause noisy lifters.
OIL LEVEL TOO HIGH
If oil level is above the MAX mark on dipstick, it is
possible for the connecting rods to dip into the oil
while engine is running and create foaming. Foam in
oil pan would be fed to the hydraulic lifters by the oil
pump causing them to become soft and allow valves
to seat noisily.
OIL LEVEL TOO LOW
Low oil level may allow pump to take in air which
when fed to the lifters it causes them to become soft
and allows valves to seat noisily. Any leaks on intake
side of pump, through which air can be drawn, will
create the same lifter noise. Check the lubrication
system from the intake strainer to the oil pump
cover, including the relief valve retainer cap. When
lifter noise is due to aeration, it may be intermittent
or constant, and usually more than one lifter will be
noisy. When oil level and leaks have been corrected,
the engine should be operated at fast idle to allow all
of the air inside of the lifters to be bled out.
VALVE TRAIN NOISE
To determine source of valve train noise, operate
engine at idle with cylinder head covers removed and
listen for source of the noise.
NOTE: Worn valve guides or cocked springs are
sometimes mistaken for noisy lifters. If such is the
case, noise may be dampened by applying side
thrust on the valve spring. If noise is not appreciably reduced, it can be assumed the noise is in the
tappet. Inspect the rocker arm push rod sockets
and push rod ends for wear.

- HYDRAULIC LIFTER
Valve lifter noise ranges from light noise to a
heavy click. A light noise is usually caused by excessive leak-down around the unit plunger which will
necessitate replacing the lifter, or by the plunger partially sticking in the lifter body cylinder. A heavy
click is caused either by a lifter check valve not seating, or by foreign particles becoming wedged between
9 - 126
ENGINE 3.3/3.8L
RS
HYDRAULIC LIFTERS (CAM IN BLOCK) (Continued)
the plunger and the lifter body causing the plunger
to stick in the down position. This heavy click will be
accompanied by excessive clearance between the
valve stem and rocker arm as valve closes. In either
case, lifter assembly should be removed for inspection.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove the cylinder head(s). (Refer to 9 ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD - REMOVAL)
(2) Remove the yoke retainer and aligning yokes
(Fig. 73).
(3) Remove the hydraulic lifters. If necessary use
Special Tool C-4129, or equivalent to remove lifters
from bores. If lifters are to be reused, identify each
lifter to ensure installation in original location.
INSTALLATION
(1) Lubricate the lifters with engine oil.
NOTE: Position the lifter in bore with the lubrication
hole facing upward (Fig. 72).
(2) Install the hydraulic lifters with the lubrication
hole facing upward towards middle of block (Fig. 72).
Install lifters in original positions, if reused.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - FITTING
CONNECTING RODS
The bearing caps are not interchangeable or
reversible, and should be marked at removal to
ensure correct reassembly. The bearing shells must
be installed with the tangs inserted into the
machined grooves in the rods and caps. Install cap
with the tangs on the same side as the rod. For connecting rod bearing fitting (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/ENGINE BLOCK/CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS STANDARD PROCEDURE). Fit all connecting rods
on one bank until complete.
NOTE: The connecting rod cap bolts should be
examined before reuse. Bolt stretch can be checked
by holding a scale or straight edge against the
threads. If all the threads do not contact the scale
the bolt must be replaced (Fig. 74).
Fig. 75 Checking Connecting Rod Side Clearance
STANDARD PROCEDURE - FITTING PISTONS
The piston and cylinder wall must be clean and dry.
Piston diameter should be measured 90 degrees to piston pin at size location shown in (Fig. 76). Cylinder
bores should be measured halfway down the cylinder
bore and transverse to the engine crankshaft center line
shown in (Fig. 77). Refer to Engine Specifications (Refer
to 9 - ENGINE - SPECIFICATIONS). Pistons and cylinder bores should be measured at normal room
temperature, 21°C (70°F).

LUBRICATION
DESCRIPTION
The lubrication system is a full flow filtration pressure feed type. The oil pump is mounted in the timing chain cover and is driven by the crankshaft
OPERATION
Oil from the oil pan is pumped by a internal gear
type oil pump directly coupled to the crankshaft. The
pressure is regulated by a relief valve located in the
timing chain cover. The oil is pumped through an oil
filter and feeds a main oil gallery. This oil gallery
feeds oil under pressure to the main and rod bearings, camshaft bearings. Passages in the cylinder
block feed oil to the hydraulic lifters and rocker shaft
brackets which feeds the rocker arm pivots (Fig.
100).

INTAKE MANIFOLD
DESCRIPTION
The intake system is made up of an upper and
lower intake manifold. The upper intake manifold is
made of a composite for both the 3.3L engine and for
the 3.8L engine (Fig. 123). The lower intake manifold
is common between the two engines (Fig. 127). It also
provides coolant crossover between cylinder heads
and houses the coolant thermostat (Fig. 127).
The intake manifold utilizes a compact design with
very low restriction and outstanding flow balance.
This design allows the engine to perform with a wide
torque curve while increasing higher rpm horsepower.
If, for some reason, the molded-in vacuum ports
break, the composite manifold can be salvaged. The
vacuum ports are designed to break at the shoulder,
if overloaded. Additional material in the shoulder
area provides sufficient stock to repair. For more
information and procedure, (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/
MANIFOLDS/INTAKE MANIFOLD - STANDARD
PROCEDURE). Also, if the special screws that attach
the MAP sensor, power steering reservoir, throttle
cable bracket, and the EGR tube become stripped, an
oversized screw is available to repair the stripped-out
condition. For more information and procedure,
(Refer to 9 - ENGINE/MANIFOLDS/INTAKE MANIFOLD - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
OPERATION
The intake manifold delivers air to the combustion
chambers. This air allows the fuel delivered by the
fuel injectors to ignite when the spark plugs fire.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - INTAKE
MANIFOLD LEAKS
An intake manifold air leak is characterized by
lower than normal manifold vacuum. Also, one or
more cylinders may not be functioning.
WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN THE
ENGINE IS OPERATING. DO NOT STAND IN A
DIRECT LINE WITH THE FAN. DO NOT PUT YOUR
HANDS NEAR THE PULLEYS, BELTS OR THE FAN.
DO NOT WEAR LOOSE CLOTHING.
(1) Start the engine.
(2) Spray a small stream of water (Spray Bottle) at
the suspected leak area.
(3) If engine RPM’S change, the area of the suspected leak has been found.
(4) Repair as required.

camshaft sprocket attaching bolt. Apply force in the
direction of crankshaft rotation to take up slack to
the following torque:
• 41 N·m (30 ft. lb.) with cylinder heads installed
• 20 N·m (15 ft. lb.) with cylinder heads removed
NOTE: With torque applied to the camshaft
sprocket bolt, crankshaft should not be permitted to
move. It may be necessary to block crankshaft to
prevent rotation.
(3) Holding a measuring scale along edge of chain
links (Fig. 138).
(4) Apply force in the reverse direction to the following torque:
• 41 N·m (30 ft. lb.) with cylinder heads installed
• 20 N·m (15 ft. lb.) with cylinder heads removed
(5) Measure amount of sprocket/chain movement.
(6) Install a new timing chain and sprockets if
movement exceeds 3.175 mm (1/8 in.).

STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - VALVE SERVICE
This procedure is done with the engine cylinder
head removed from the block.
DISASSEMBLY
(1) Remove the engine cylinder head from the cylinder block. Refer to cylinder head removal and
installation in this section.
(2) Use Valve Spring Compressor Tool and compress each valve spring.
(3) Remove the valve locks, retainers, and springs.
(4) Use an Arkansas smooth stone or a jewelers
file to remove any burrs on the top of the valve stem,
especially around the groove for the locks.
(5) Remove the valves, and place them in a rack in
the same order as removed.
VALVE CLEANING
(1) Clean all carbon deposits from the combustion
chambers, valve ports, valve stems, valve stem
guides and head.
(2) Clean all grime and gasket material from the
engine cylinder head machined gasket surface.
INSPECTION
(1) Inspect for cracks in the combustion chambers
and valve ports.
(2) Inspect for cracks on the exhaust seat.
(3) Inspect for cracks in the gasket surface at each
coolant passage.
(4) Inspect valves for burned, cracked or warped
heads.
(5) Inspect for scuffed or bent valve stems.
(6) Replace valves displaying any damage.
(7) Check valve spring height (Fig. 11).
VALVE REFACING
(1) Use a valve refacing machine to reface the
intake and exhaust valves to the specified angle.
(2) After refacing, a margin of at least 4.52-4.49
mm (.178-.177 inch) must remain (Fig. 12). If the
margin is less than 4.49 mm (.177 inch), the valve
must be replaced.
VALVE SEAT REFACING
(1) Install a pilot of the correct size in the valve
guide bore. Reface the valve seat to the specified
angle with a good dressing stone. Remove only
enough metal to provide a smooth finish.
(2) Use tapered stones to obtain the specified seat
width when required.

VALVE STAND DOWN
Valve stand down is to maintain the adequate compression ratio.
(1) Invert cylinder head.
(2) Fit each valve to its respective valve guide.
(3) Using a straight edge and feeler gauge, check
valve head stand down: Inlet valve head stand down
1.08 to 1.34 mm (.042 to .052 ins.) and exhaust valve
stand down .99 to 1.25 mm (.035 to .049 ins.).
(4) If valve head stand down is not in accordance
with above, discard original valves, check stand down
with new valves and recut valve seat inserts to
obtain correct stand down.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WATER LEAKS
Water leaks can be caused by poor sealing,
improper body component alignment, body seam
porosity, missing plugs, or blocked drain holes. Centrifugal and gravitational force can cause water to
drip from a location away from the actual leak point,
making leak detection difficult. All body sealing
points should be water tight in normal wet-driving
conditions. Water flowing downward from the front of
the vehicle should not enter the passenger or luggage
compartment. Moving sealing surfaces will not
always seal water tight under all conditions. At
times, side glass or door seals will allow water to

enter the passenger compartment during high pressure washing or hard driving rain (severe) conditions.
Overcompensating
on
door
or
glass
adjustments to stop a water leak that occurs under
severe conditions can cause premature seal wear and
excessive closing or latching effort. After completing
a repair, water test vehicle to verify leak has stopped
before returning vehicle to use.
leak and water test to verify that the leak has
stopped.
Locating the entry point of water that is leaking
into a cavity between panels can be difficult. The
trapped water may splash or run from the cavity,
often at a distance from the entry point. Most water
leaks of this type become apparent after accelerating,
stopping, turning, or when on an incline.
VISUAL INSPECTION BEFORE WATER LEAK TESTS
MIRROR INSPECTION METHOD
When a leak point area is visually obstructed, use
a suitable mirror to gain visual access. A mirror can
also be used to deflect light to a limited-access area
to assist in locating a leak point.
Verify that floor and body plugs are in place, body
drains are clear, and body components are properly
aligned and sealed. If component alignment or sealing is necessary, refer to the appropriate section of
this group for proper procedures.
WATER LEAK TESTS
WARNING: DO NOT USE ELECTRIC SHOP LIGHTS
OR TOOLS IN WATER TEST AREA. PERSONAL
INJURY CAN RESULT.
When the conditions causing a water leak have
been determined, simulate the conditions as closely
as possible.
• If a leak occurs with the vehicle parked in a
steady light rain, flood the leak area with an openended garden hose.
• If a leak occurs while driving at highway speeds
in a steady rain, test the leak area with a reasonable
velocity stream or fan spray of water. Direct the
spray in a direction comparable to actual conditions.
• If a leak occurs when the vehicle is parked on an
incline, hoist the end or side of the vehicle to simulate this condition. This method can be used when
the leak occurs when the vehicle accelerates, stops or
turns. If the leak occurs on acceleration, hoist the
front of the vehicle. If the leak occurs when braking,
hoist the back of the vehicle. If the leak occurs on left
turns, hoist the left side of the vehicle. If the leak
occurs on right turns, hoist the right side of the vehicle. For hoisting recommendations (Refer to LUBRICATION
&
MAINTENANCE/HOISTING
STANDARD PROCEDURE).
WATER LEAK DETECTION
To detect a water leak point-of-entry, do a water
test and watch for water tracks or droplets forming
on the inside of the vehicle. If necessary, remove interior trim covers or panels to gain visual access to the
leak area. If the hose cannot be positioned without
being held, have someone help do the water test.
Some water leaks must be tested for a considerable
length of time to become apparent. When a leak
appears, find the highest point of the water track or
drop. The highest point usually will show the point of
entry. After leak point has been found, repair the
BRIGHT LIGHT LEAK TEST METHOD
Some water leaks in the luggage compartment can
be detected without water testing. Position the vehicle in a brightly lit area. From inside the darkened
luggage compartment inspect around seals and body
seams. If necessary, have a helper direct a drop light
over the suspected leak areas around the luggage
compartment. If light is visible through a normally
sealed location, water could enter through the opening.
PRESSURIZED LEAK TEST METHOD
When a water leak into the passenger compartment cannot be detected by water testing, pressurize
the passenger compartment and soap test exterior of
the vehicle. To pressurize the passenger compartment, close all doors and windows, start engine, and
set heater control to high blower in HEAT position. If
engine can not be started, connect a charger to the
battery to ensure adequate voltage to the blower.
With interior pressurized, apply dish detergent solution to suspected leak area on the exterior of the
vehicle. Apply detergent solution with spray device or
soft bristle brush. If soap bubbles occur at a body
seam, joint, seal or gasket, the leak entry point could
be at that location.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIND NOISE
Wind noise is the result of most air leaks. Air leaks
can be caused by poor sealing, improper body component alignment, body seam porosity, or missing plugs
in the engine compartment or door hinge pillar areas.
All body sealing points should be airtight in normal
driving conditions. Moving sealing surfaces will not
always seal airtight under all conditions. At times,
side glass or door seals will allow wind noise to be
noticed in the passenger compartment during high
cross winds. Over compensating on door or glass
adjustments to stop wind noise that occurs under
severe conditions can cause premature seal wear and
excessive closing or latching effort. After a repair pro-

cedure has been performed, test vehicle to verify
noise has stopped before returning vehicle to use.
VISUAL INSPECTION BEFORE TESTS
Verify that floor and body plugs are in place and
body components are aligned and sealed. If component alignment or sealing is necessary, refer to the
appropriate section of this group for proper procedures.
ROAD TESTING WIND NOISE
(1) Drive the vehicle to verify the general location
of the wind noise.
(2) Apply 50 mm (2 in.) masking tape in 150 mm
(6 in.) lengths along weatherstrips, weld seams or
moldings. After each length is applied, drive the vehicle. If noise goes away after a piece of tape is applied,
remove tape, locate, and repair defect.
POSSIBLE CAUSE OF WIND NOISE
• Moldings standing away from body surface can
catch wind and whistle.
• Gaps in sealed areas behind overhanging body
flanges can cause wind-rushing sounds.
• Misaligned movable components.
• Missing or improperly installed plugs in pillars.
• Weld burn through holes.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - PLASTIC BODY
PANEL REPAIR
There are many different types of plastics used in
today’s automotive environment. We group plastics in
three different categories: Rigid, Semi-Rigid, and
Flexible. Any of these plastics may require the use of
an adhesion promoter for repair. These types of plastic are used extensively on DaimlerChrysler Motors
vehicles. Always follow repair material manufacturer’s plastic identification and repair procedures.
Rigid Plastics:
Examples of rigid plastic use: Fascias, Hoods,
Doors, and other Body Panels, which include SMC,
ABS, and Polycarbonates.
Semi-Rigid Plastics:
Examples of semi-rigid plastic use: Interior Panels,
Under Hood Panels, and other Body Trim Panels.
Flexible Plastics:
Examples of flexible plastic use: Fascias, Body
Moldings, and upper and lower Fascia Covers.
Repair Procedure:
The repair procedure for all three categories of
plastics is basically the same. The one difference is
the material used for the repair. The materials must
be specific for each substrate, rigid repair material
for rigid plastic repair, semi-rigid repair material for
semi-rigid plastic repair and flexible repair material
for flexible plastic repair.
Adhesion Promoter/Surface Modifier:
Adhesion Promoters/Surface Modifiers are required
for certain plastics. All three categories may have
plastics that require the use of adhesion promoter/
surface modifiers. Always follow repair material manufacturer’s
plastic
identification
and
repair
procedures.

PANEL SECTIONING
PANEL REINFORCEMENT
If it is required to section a large panel for a plastic repair, it will be necessary to reinforce the panel
(Fig. 1). To bond two plastic panels together, a reinforcement must overlap both panels. The panels
must be “V’d” at a 20 degree angle. The area to be
reinforced should be washed, then sanded. Be sure to
wipe off any excess soap and water when finished.
Lightly sand or abrade the plastic with an abrasive
pad or sandpaper. Blow off any dust with compressed
air or wipe with a clean dry rag.
Structural repair procedures for rigid panels with
large cracks and holes will require a reinforcement
backing. Reinforcements can be made with several
applications of glass cloth saturated with structural
adhesive. Semi-rigid or flexible repair materials
should be used for semi-rigid or flexible backing reinforcement (Fig. 2) and (Fig. 3). Open meshed fiberglass dry wall tape can be used to form a
reinforcement. The dry wall tape allows the resin to
penetrate through and make a good bond between
the panel and the adhesive. Structurally, the more
dry wall tape used, the stronger the repair.
Another kind of repair that can be done to repair
large cracks and holes is to use a scrap piece of similar plastic and bond with structural adhesive. The
reinforcement should cover the entire break and
should have a generous amount of overlap on either
side of the cracked or broken area.
When repairing plastic, the damaged area is first
“V’d” out, or beveled. Large bonding areas are desirable when repairing plastic because small repairs are
less likely to hold permanently. Beveling the area
around a crack at a 20 degree angle will increase the
bonding surface for a repair (Fig. 4). It is recommended that sharp edges be avoided because the
joint may show through after the panel is refinished.

BONDING STRIP
When bonding plastic panels, Follow repair material manufacturers recommendations. Be sure that
enough adhesive has been applied to allow squeeze
out and to fill the full bond line. Once the pieces
have been brought together, do not move them until
the adhesive is cured. The assembly can be held
together with clamps, rivets, etc. A faster cure can be
obtained by heating with a heat lamp or heat gun.
After the parts have been bonded and have had time
to cure, rough sand the seam and apply the final
adhesive filler to the area being repaired. Smooth the
filler with a spreader, wooden tongue depressor, or
squeegee. For fine texturing, a small amount of
water can be applied to the filler surface while
smoothing. The cured filler can be sanded as necessary and, as a final step, cleanup can be done with
soapy water. Wipe the surface clean with a dry cloth
allowing time for the panel to dry before moving on
with the repair.

• Panel repair for both flexible and rigid panels
are basically the same. The primary difference
between flexible panel repair and rigid panel repair
is in the adhesive materials used (Fig. 5).
• The technician should first decide what needs to
be done when working on any type of body panel.
One should determine if it is possible to return the
damage part to its original strength and appearance
without exceeding the value of the replacement part.
• When plastic repairs are required, it is recommended that the part be left on the vehicle when
every possible. That will save time, and the panel
will remain stationary during the repair. Misalignment can cause stress in the repair areas and can
result in future failure.
Fig. 6 DAMAGE COMPONENT
1 - PUNCTURE
PANEL SURFACE PREPARATION
If a body panel has been punctured, cracked, or
crushed, the damaged area must be removed from
the panel to achieve a successful repair. All spider
web cracks leading away from a damaged area must
be stopped or removed. To stop a running crack in a
panel, drill a 6 mm (0.250 in.) hole at the end of the
crack farthest away from the damage. If spider web
cracks can not be stopped, the panel would require
replacement. The surfaces around the damaged area
should be stripped of paint and freed from wax and
oil. Scuff surfaces around repair area with 360 grit
wet/dry sandpaper, or equivalent, to assure adhesion
of repair materials.

VISUAL INSPECTION
Composite materials can mask the severity of an
accident. Adhesive bond lines, interior structure of
the doors, and steel structures need to be inspected
carefully to get a true damage assessment. Close
inspection may require partial removal of interior
trim or inner panels.
Identify the type of repair: Puncture or Crack Damage that has penetrated completely through the
panel. Damage is confined to one general area; a
panel section is not required. However, a backer
panel, open fiberglass tape, or matted material must
be bonded from behind (Fig. 7) (Fig. 6).
An panel that has extensive puncture type damage
can be repaired by cutting out the damaged material
(Fig. 7). Use a suitable reciprocating saw or cut off
wheel to remove the section of the panel that is damaged. The piece cut out can be used as a template to
shape the new patch. It is not necessary to have
access to the back of the panel to install a patch.
Bevel edges of cutout at 20 degrees to expose a larger
bonding area on the outer side. This will allow for an
increased reinforcement areas.

PANEL PATCH FABRICATIONS
A patch can be fabricated from any rigid fiberglass
panel that has comparable contour with the repair
area. Lift gates and fenders can be used to supply
patch material. If existing material is not available
or compatible, a patch can be constructed with adhesive and reinforcement mesh (dry wall tape). Perform
the following operation if required:
(1) Cover waxed paper or plastic with adhesive
backed nylon mesh (dry wall tape) larger than the
patch required (Fig. 8).
(2) Tape waxed paper or plastic sheet with mesh to a
surface that has a compatible contour to the repair area.
(3) Apply a liberal coat of adhesive over the reinforcement mesh (Fig. 8). If necessary apply a second
or third coat of adhesive and mesh after firs coat has
cured. The thickness of the patch should be the same
as the repair area.
(4) After patch has cured, peel waxed paper or
plastic from the back of the patch.
(5) If desired, a thin film coat of adhesive can be
applied to the back of the patch to cover mesh for
added strength.

(6) Drill 4 mm (0.160 in.) holes 13 mm (0.5 in.)
away from edge of patch across from holes drilled
around cutout.
(7) Drill 3 mm (0.125 in.) holes in the support squares
13 mm (0.5 in.) from the edge in the center of one side.
(8) Scuff the backside of the body panel around the
cutout hole with a scuff pad or sandpaper.
(9) Mix enough adhesive to cover one side of all
support squares.
(10) Apply adhesive to cover one side of all support
squares.
(11) Using number 8 sheet metal screws, secure
support squares to back side of body panel with
adhesive sandwiched between the panel and squares
(Fig. 9).
PANEL PATCH INSTALLATION
(1) Make a paper or cardboard pattern the size
and shape of the cutout hole in the panel.
(2) Trim 3 mm (0.125 in.) from edges of pattern so
patch will have a gap between connecting surfaces.
(3) Using the pattern as a guide, cut the patch to size.
(4) Cut scrap pieces of patch material into 50 mm
(2 in.) squares to use as patch supports to sustain
the patch in the cutout.
(5) Drill 4 mm (0.160 in.) holes 13 mm (0.5 in.) in
from edge of cutout hole (Fig. 7).

After patch panel is installed, the patch area can
be finished using the same methods as finishing
other types of body panels. If mesh material is
exposed in the patched area, grind surface down, and
apply a coat of high quality rigid plastic body filler.
Prime, block sand, and paint as required.
(1) Remove trim panel.
(2) Bend or move the trim panel components at
the heat staked joints. Observe the heat staked locations and/or component seams for looseness.
(3) Heat stake the components.
(a) If the heat staked or component seam location is loose, hold the two components tightly
together and using a soldering gun with a flat tip,
melt the material securing the components
together. Do not over heat the affected area, damage to the exterior of the trim panel may occur.
(b) If the heat staked material is broken or missing, use a hot glue gun to apply new material to
the area to be repaired. The panels that are being
heat staked must be held together while the applying the glue. Once the new material is in place, it
may be necessary to use a soldering gun to melt
the newly applied material. Do not over heat the
affected area, damage to the exterior of the trim
panel may occur.
(4) Allow the repaired area to cool and verify the
repair.
(5) Install trim panel.

BODY LUBRICATION
LUBRICATION REQUIREMENTS
Body mechanisms and linkages should be
inspected, cleaned, and lubricated, as required, to
maintain ease of operation and to provide protection
against rust and wear. When performing other under
hood services, the hood latch release mechanism and
safety catch should be inspected, cleaned, and lubricated. During the winter season, external door lock
cylinders should be lubricated to assure proper operation when exposed to water and ice.
Prior to the application of any lubricant, the parts
concerned should be wiped clean to remove dust and
grit. If necessary, a suitable solvent can be used to
clean the item to be lubricated. After lubricating a
component, any excess oil or grease should be
removed.
LUBRICANT APPLICATION
DOOR LOCK CYLINDERS
(1) Apply a small amount of lubricant directly into
the lock cylinder.
(2) Apply a small amount of lubricant to the key.
(3) Insert key into lock cylinder and cycle the
mechanism from the locked to the unlocked position.
NOTE: Do not add more lubricant.
(4) Cycle the lock cylinder mechanism several
times to allow the lubricant to flow throughout the
cylinder.
(5) Wipe all lubricant from exterior of lock cylinder
and key.
ALL OTHER BODY MECHANISMS
(1) Clean component as described above.
(2) Apply specified lubricant to all pivoting and

BASE COAT/CLEARCOAT
FINISH
DESCRIPTION
On most vehicles a two-part paint application
(basecoat/clearcoat) is used. Color paint that is
applied to primer is called basecoat. The clearcoat
protects the basecoat from ultraviolet light and provides a durable high-gloss finish.
CAUTION: Do not use abrasive chemicals or compounds on painted surfaces. Damage to finish can
result.
Do not use harsh alkaline based cleaning solvents
on painted surfaces. Damage to finish or color can
result.
23 - 84
PAINT
PAINT CODE
DESCRIPTION
Exterior vehicle body colors are identified on the
Body Code plate. (Refer to VEHICLE DATA/VEHICLE INFORMATION/BODY CODE PLATE DESCRIPTION). The paint code is also identified on
the Vehicle Safety Certification Label which is
located on the drivers door shut face. The first digit
of the paint code listed on the vehicle indicates the
sequence of application, i.e.: P = primary coat, Q =
secondary coat. The codes listed in the Color Code
Chart are used for manufacturing purposes.
PAINTED TOUCH-UP
DESCRIPTION
When a painted metal surface has been scratched
or chipped, it should be touched up as soon as possible to avoid corrosion. For best results, use Mopart
Scratch Filler/Primer, Touch Up Paints and Clear Top
Coat. (Refer to VEHICLE DATA/VEHICLE INFORMATION/BODY CODE PLATE - DESCRIPTION).
WARNING: USE A OSHA APPROVED BREATHING
MASK WHEN SPRAYING PAINT OR SOLVENTS IN A
CONFINED AREA. PERSONAL INJURY CAN
RESULT.
TOUCH UP PROCEDURE
(1) Scrape loose paint and corrosion from inside
scratch or chip.
(2) Clean affected area with Mopart Tar/Road Oil
Remover, and allow to dry.
(3) Fill the inside of the scratch or chip with a coat
of filler/primer. Do not overlap primer onto good surface finish. The applicator brush should be wet
RS
enough to puddle-fill the defect without running. Do
not stroke brush applicator on body surface. Allow
the filler/primer to dry hard.
(4) Cover the filler/primer with color touch up
paint. Do not overlap touch up color onto the original
color coat around the scratch or chip. Butt the new
color to the original color, if possible. Do not stroke
applicator brush on body surface. Allow touch up
paint to dry hard.
(5) On vehicles without clearcoat, the touch up
color can be lightly finesse sanded (1500 grit) and
polished with rubbing compound.
(6) On vehicles with clearcoat, apply clear top coat
to touch up paint with the same technique as
described in Step 4. Allow clear top coat to dry hard.
If desired, Step 5 can be performed on clear top coat.
WARNING: AVOID PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT
WITH PETROLEUM OR ALCOHOL – BASED CLEANING SOLVENTS. PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
FINESSE SANDING/BUFFING &
POLISHING
DESCRIPTION
Minor acid etching, orange peel, or smudging in
clearcoat or single-stage finishes can be reduced with
light finesse sanding, hand buffing, and polishing. If
the finish has been finesse sanded in the past,
it cannot be repeated. Finesse sanding operation should be performed by a trained automotive paint technician.
CAUTION: Do not remove clearcoat finish, if
equipped. Basecoat paint must retain clearcoat for
durability.

WINDSHIELD
DESCRIPTION
The windshield is attached to the window frame
with urethane adhesive. The urethane adhesive is
applied cold and seals the surface area between the
window opening and the glass. The primer adheres
the urethane adhesive to the windshield.
It is difficult to salvage a windshield during the
removal operation. The windshield is part of the
structural support for the roof. The urethane bonding
used to secure the windshield to the fence is difficult
to cut or clean from any surface. If the moldings are
set in urethane, it would also be unlikely they could
be salvaged. Before removing the windshield, check
the availability of the windshield and moldings from
the parts supplier.
WARNING
WINDSHIELD SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE
WITHIN 24 HOURS OF WINDSHIELD INSTALLATION.
IT TAKES AT LEAST 24 HOURS FOR URETHANE
ADHESIVE TO CURE. IF IT IS NOT CURED, THE
WINDSHIELD MAY NOT PERFORM PROPERLY IN
AN ACCIDENT.
URETHANE ADHESIVES ARE APPLIED AS A SYSTEM. USE GLASS CLEANER, GLASS PREP SOLVENT, GLASS PRIMER, PVC (VINYL) PRIMER AND
PINCH WELD (FENCE) PRIMER PROVIDED BY THE
ADHESIVE MANUFACTURER. IF NOT, STRUCTURAL
INTEGRITY COULD BE COMPROMISED.
DAIMLERCHRYSLER DOES NOT RECOMMEND
GLASS ADHESIVE BY BRAND. TECHNICIANS
SHOULD REVIEW PRODUCT LABELS AND TECHNICAL DATA SHEETS, AND USE ONLY ADHESIVES
THAT THEIR MANUFACTURES WARRANT WILL
RESTORE A VEHICLE TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF
FMVSS 212. TECHNICIANS SHOULD ALSO INSURE
THAT PRIMERS AND CLEANERS ARE COMPATIBLE
WITH THE PARTICULAR ADHESIVE USED.
BE SURE TO REFER TO THE URETHANE MANUFACTURER’S DIRECTIONS FOR CURING TIME
SPECIFICATIONS, AND DO NOT USE ADHESIVE
AFTER ITS EXPIRATION DATE.
VAPORS THAT ARE EMITTED FROM THE URETHANE ADHESIVE OR PRIMER COULD CAUSE
PERSONAL INJURY. USE THEM IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA.
SKIN CONTACT WITH URETHANE ADHESIVE
SHOULD BE AVOIDED. PERSONAL INJURY MAY
RESULT.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE AND HAND PROTECTION
WHEN WORKING WITH GLASS.
CAUTION: Protect all painted and trimmed surfaces
from coming in contact with urethane or primers.
Be careful not to damage painted surfaces when
removing moldings or cutting urethane around
windshield.
REMOVAL
WINDSHIELD REMOVAL – EXTERIOR METHOD
The urethane adhesive holding the windshield to
the opening pinch weld (fence) can be cut using a
sharp cold knife from the exterior of the vehicle.
Using the cold knife method is effective if the windshield is already broken. If the glass must be salvaged, cutting the urethane adhesive from the
interior of the vehicle using a reciprocating or oscillating power knife is recommended.
(1) Remove inside rear view mirror.
(2) Remove windshield wiper arms.
(3) Remove cowl cover.

senger compartment. If a door is slammed before
urethane bonding is cured, water leaks can result.
Allow the urethane at least 24 hours to cure before
returning the vehicle to use.
To avoid stressing the replacement windshield, the
urethane bonding material on the windshield fence
should be smooth and consistent to the shape of
the replacement windshield . The support spacers
should be cleaned and properly installed on weld
studs or repair screws at bottom of windshield
opening.
(1) Place replacement windshield into windshield
opening and position glass in the center of the opening against the compression spacers.
(2) Verify the glass lays evenly against the pinch
weld fence at the sides, top and bottom of the
replacement windshield. If not, the pinch weld fence
must be formed to the shape of the new glass.
(3) Remove replacement windshield from windshield opening.
(4) Position the windshield inside up on a suitable
work surface with two padded, wood 10 cm by 10 cm
by 50 cm (4 in. by 4 in. by 20 in.) blocks, placed parallel 75 cm (2.5 ft.) apart (Fig. 2).

DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS
DESCRIPTION
Operating the high-beam headlamps at reduced
power provides daytime running lamps, which are
required on all new Canadian vehicles.
LAMP SYSTEMS
Lighting circuits are protected by fuses. Lighting
circuits require an overload protected power source,
on/off device, lamps and body ground to operate properly. Plastic lamps require a wire in the harness to
supply body ground to the lamp socket. Replace sockets and bulbs that are corroded.
Some of the interior and exterior lighting functions
are governed by the Body Control Module (BCM).
The headlamp, dome, and the door ajar switches provide signals to the BCM. The BCM in turn sends a
Programmable Communication Interface (PCI) bus
message to the Front Control Module (FCM) to
enable the necessary drivers to set the required illumination configuration.
Wire connectors can make intermittent contact or
become corroded. Before coupling wire connectors,
inspect the terminals inside the connector. Male terminals should not be bent or disengaged from the
insulator. Female terminals should not be sprung
open or disengaged from the insulator. Bent and
sprung terminals can be repaired using needle nose
pliers and pick tool. Corroded terminals appear
chalky or green. Corroded terminals should be
replaced to avoid recurrence of the problem symptoms.
Begin electrical system failure diagnosis by testing
related fuses in the fuse block and intelligent power
module. Verify that bulbs are in good condition and
test continuity of the circuit ground. Refer to the
appropriate wiring information.
AUTOMATIC HEADLAMP SYSTEM
The Automatic Headlamp system turns the instrumentation and exterior illumination lamps ON when
the ambient light levels are Night and the engine
RPM is 450 or above, and OFF when light levels are
Day.
HEADLAMPS ON WITH WINDSHIELD WIPERS
For vehicles equipped with the Automatic Headlamp System, the instrumentation and exterior illumination lamps will be turned ON when the
headlamp switch is in the AUTO position, RPM >
450 and the windshield wipers have been in the
intermittent, low or high mode of operation for more
than ten seconds. When the windshield wipers are
turned OFF the Body Control Module will determine
if the instrumentation and exterior illumination
lamps should remain ON base upon the current
ambient light level.
HEADLAMP SYSTEM
The configuration of the headlamp system of headlamps, park lamps and fog lamps is determined by
the BCM. The BCM determines the lighting configuration as a result of the inputs from the ignition
switch, headlamp switch and multi-function switch. A
PCI bus is transmitted from the BCM to the FCM to
enable the necessary drivers to set the illumination
configuration. Four wires are connected between the
headlamp switch and the BCM. The first wire contains information regarding the position of the headlamp switch (Off, Automatic Headlamps, Automatic
Headlamp switch fog, Park with Fog, Head, or Head
with Fog Lamps). The second wire contains information regarding the position of the dimmer switch
(Dome Lamp, Daytime Brightness, Dimming Level or
Off). The third wire is a dedicated signal return
(ground) wire. The fourth wire provides power to the
front fog lamp indicator.
HEADLAMP TIME DELAY SYSTEM
The headlamp time delay system is controlled by
the Body Control Module (BCM) via a PCI bus mes-
LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR
RS
8L - 3
LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR (Continued)
sage transmitted by the BCM to the FCM to turn off
the headlamps.
OPERATION
AUTOMATIC HEADLAMP SYSTEM
Automatic headlamps are controlled by the Body Control Module (BCM). With the headlamp switch in the
AUTO position, the BCM will control the headlamp, parking, side marker, tail and instrumentation lamps based on
ambient light levels. Ambient light levels are monitored
by the BCM using the Day/Night signal and Electrochromatic Mirror (ECM) present from the Compass Mini Trip
(CMTC) located on the front windshield in front of the
rear view mirror ECM. Ambient light readings are averaged to limit cycling the lamps ON and OFF when passing through areas with varying light levels. The
automatic headlamps will only function when the engine
is running with RPM > 450. When the headlamp switch is
in the AUTO position (Automatic mode), the Headlamp
Time Delay system will function when the ignition switch
is placed in any position other than run/start.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS
Power is reduced using pulse-width modulation to
the high beams, where by the power is switched on
and off rapidly instead of remaining on continuously.
The duration and interval of the power pulses is programmed into the FCM.
HEADLAMP SYSTEM
The headlamp system will default to headlamps
ON position when ignition switch is ON and when an
open or short circuit failure occurs on the headlamp
switch input. The system will return to normal operation when the open or short is repaired. A fault will
be reported by the BCM when a failure occurs on the
dimmer or headlamp switch input.
If the exterior lamps are ON and the headlamp
switch is in any position other than OFF or AUTO
and with the ignition switch OFF (LOCK) after 3
minutes the BCM sends a message via PCI bus to
the FCM informing the FCM to turn off the headlamps, park lamps and fog lamps. This feature prevents the vehicle battery from being discharged when
the vehicle lights have been left ON.
HEADLAMP TIME DELAY SYSTEM
The headlamp time delay system is activated by
turning the headlamps ON (high or low beam) while
the engine is running, turning the ignition switch
OFF, and then turning the headlamp switch OFF
within 45 seconds. The system will not activate if
more than 45 seconds elapse between ignition switch
OFF and headlamp switch OFF. The BCM will allow
the headlamps to remain ON for 90 seconds (config-
urable) before they automatically turn off (If the key
is in the ignition during the headlamp time delay
mode, then both the headlamps and park lamps
(including panel dimming) will be ON). Refer to the
Owner’s Manual for more information.
If the headlamp switch is in the Auto Headlamp
Position, the headlamps are ON due to the night signal from the CMTC and the ignition switch is in any
position other than run/start, the BCM shall enter a
90 second (configurable) Auto Headlamps time delay
mode. If the key is in the ignition during the headlamp time delay mode, then both the headlamps and
park lamps (including panel dimming) will be ON. If
the key is not in the ignition, then only the headlamps will be ON. The BCM will allow the headlamps to remain ON for 90 seconds before they
automatically turn OFF. Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more information.
OPTICAL HORN/HIGH BEAMS
When the multi-function switch is pulled to the
first detent (optical horn) signal, the headlamps are
ON, key-in the ignition the BCM shall send a message via PCI bus to the FCM to turn on the headlamps drivers to illuminate all four filaments (Low
and High beams). When the multi-function switch is
pulled to the second detent (high beam) signal and
the headlamps are ON, the BCM shall send a message via PCI bus to the FCM to turn on the headlamps drivers. The High Beams are illuminated and
the Low Beams and Fog Lamps (if ON) are extinguished. If the headlamps were in the high beam
configuration when power was removed from the
headlamps, the headlamps will be configured as low
beam the next time they are activated.
WARNING
WARNING: EYE PROTECTION SHOULD BE USED
WHEN SERVICING GLASS COMPONENTS. PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.

BRAKE LAMP SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The brake lamp switch is located under the instrument panel, at the brake pedal arm (Fig. 3). It has
three internal switches controlling various functions
of the vehicle. It’s main function is to control operation of the vehicle’s brake lamps. Other functions
include speed control deactivation, brake sense for
the antilock brake system and brake sense for the
brake transmission shift interlock.
CAUTION: The switch can only be adjusted once.
That is during initial installation of the switch. If the
switch is not adjusted properly or has been
removed for some service, a new switch must be
installed and adjusted.
When the brake pedal is pressed, the plunger on
the outside of the brake lamp switch extends outward. This action opens or closes the contacts of the
three switches inside the brake lamp switch.
With the brake pedal pressed down (plunger
extended), the switch for terminals 1 and 2 is closed
completing the circuit. The switch for terminals 3
and 4 is open and so is the switch for terminals 5
and 6.
When the brake pedal is released (plunger pushed
in), the three switches assume the opposite positions.
The switch for terminals 1 and 2 is now open while
the other two switches are now closed, completing
their circuits.
A lever on the back of the switch is used to set the
switch into the “adjusted” position. A non-adjusted
switch will have the lever set to the diagonal position
in relation to the switch housing. The plunger can be
moved in and out, but the states of the internal
switches will not change.
CAUTION: Never move the adjustment lever of the
new brake lamp switch without it being properly
installed in the vehicle first. Such action will render
the switch unusable and the switch must be discarded.
Once installed in the vehicle as described in the
brake lamp switch installation procedure (Refer to 8 ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR/
BRAKE LAMP SWITCH - INSTALLATION), the new
switch’s adjustment lever is rotated to the adjusted
position as indicated (Fig. 4). This action locks the
plunger to the internal switches. Once in this position the switch is permanently adjusted (or
locked) and cannot be readjusted or released
even if the lever is moved back.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BRAKE LAMP
SWITCH
NOTE: Before proceeding with this diagnostic test,
verify the adjustment lever on the back of the
switch is in the adjusted position. If the lever is in

MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH
DESCRIPTION - TURN SIGNAL SYSTEM
The turn signals are actuated with a lever on
Multi-Function Switch, located on the left side of the
steering wheel. The signals are automatically turned
off by a canceling cam (two lobes molded to the clock
spring mechanism). The cam comes in contact with
the cancel actuator on the turn signal (multi-function) switch assembly. Either cam lobe, pushing on
the cancel actuator, returns the switch to the OFF
position. The multi-function switch is a resistive
MUX switch that feeds inputs to the BCM.
OPERATION - TURN SIGNAL SYSTEM

(3) Twist bulb socket and remove (Fig. 25).
(4) Pull bulb from socket.
Lane change signaling is actuated by applying partial turn signal stalk movement toward the direction
desired until the indicator lamps flashes in the
instrument cluster. When the switch stalk is released
the stalk will spring back into the neutral position
turning OFF the turn signal.
With the ignition switch ON and the turn signal
switch stalk actuated left or right, current flows
through the:
• Multi-function switch
• Body Control Module
• Integrated Power Module (IPM)
• Turn indicator lamp
• Front and rear turn signal bulbs.
A chime will sound after the vehicle has traveled a
distance of approximately 1.0 mile and a speed of 15
mph, with the turn signal ON.

POWER LIFTGATE SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
Fig. 1 POWER LIFTGATE INTRODUCTION
Some vehicles are equipped with an automatic
opening and closing power liftgate system (Fig. 1).
This power liftgate system is a complex system consisting of many components. Some of these components are the liftgate gear motor assembly, latch
assembly, lift gear and rod, liftgate control module,
chime/thermistor, full open switch, engage actuator,
pinch sensor, liftgate handle switch, overhead console
switch, key fob switches (Fig. 2), pawl switch and
ratchet switch.
The power liftgate system has its own door control
module, located on the vehicles left body D-pillar
behind the trim panel. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/DOOR CONTROL MODULE - DESCRIPTION) The power
liftgate gear motor assembly is located just above the
control module. The latch assembly is located in the
bottom center of the power liftgate, below the exterior liftgate handle switch. The power liftgate full
open switch, engage actuator, lift gear and rod are
part of the liftgate gear motor assembly. The pawl
and ratchet switches are part of the latch assembly.
The pinch sensor or sensors are located along the
right and left sides of the power liftgate, just above
the body line. The liftgate handle switch is an power
release switch and is located in the rear light bar
assembly, just above the license plate. The overhead
console switch is an power open and close command
switch located in the vehicles overhead console.
Safety is of the utmost concern with the power liftgate system. Software technology has enabled the
power liftgate control module to detect resistance to
liftgate travel, which allows the power liftgate to stop
and reverse direction anytime an obstruction is felt
or any of the command switches are operated (only in
closing direction). Battery voltage is supplied to the
power liftgate system through a 40 amp fuse, located
in the Intelligent Power Module (IPM) assembly (Fig.
3). In the unlikely event that the power liftgate system develops a fault the power liftgate can still be
operated manually with a key, just like a standard
manual liftgate.

the power liftgate control module via the PCI bus circuit. A diagnostic scan tool, such as the DRB IIIt is
used to read and troubleshoot these Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). Refer to the Body Diagnostic Manual for a complete list of diagnostic routines.
For additional information refer to Power Liftgate
Operation. For a complete system wiring schematic
refer to Wiring Diagrams. For system operation
instructions refer to the vehicles owner manual.
Refer to the Body section of the service manual
for additional information on liftgate components
such as the prop rods, hinges, door alignment and
striker alignment.
WARNING: BE CERTAIN TO READ ALL WARNINGS
AND CAUTIONS (NOTED BELOW) IN POWER LIFTGATE SYSTEM OPERATION BEFORE ATTEMPTING
ANY SERVICE OF THE POWER LIFTGATE SYSTEM
OR COMPONENTS.
OPERATION
Fig. 2 KEY FOB
1 - Left Sliding Door Switch
2 - Right Sliding Door Switch
3 - Liftgate Switch
Fig. 3 LIFTGATE FUSE LOCATION
The power liftgate control module communicates
on the J1850 Programmable Communication Interface (PCI) Bus Circuit. Therefore, the power liftgate
control module can generate and store its own Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). The vehicles Body Control Module (BCM) receives and supplies messages to
With the push of a power liftgate open/close command switch (key fob or overhead console mounted) a
signal is sent out on the J1850 PCI Data Bus circuit.
This signal is detected at the body control module
(BCM). The BCM then sends a signal out on the
J1850 PCI Data Bus circuit to the power liftgate
module. The power liftgate module then signals the
power liftgate motor to start an open or close cycle,
depending on what position the liftgate is in open or
closed.
During a liftgate open or close cycle, if the power
liftgate module detects sufficient resistance to liftgate
travel, such as an obstruction in the liftgates path,
the power liftgate control module will immediately
stop the liftgate movement and reverse travel to the
full open or closed position. The ability for the power
liftgate module to detect resistance to liftgate travel
is accomplished by hall effect sensors, drive motor
speed and pinch sensors (tape switches).
The power liftgate control module has the ability to
learn. Anytime the liftgate is opened or closed using
the power liftgate system the module learns from its
cycle. If a replacement power liftgate component is
installed or a liftgate adjustment is made, the module will relearn the effort and/or time required to
open or close the door. This learn cycle can be performed with a Diagnostic Scan Tool, such as the DRB
IIIt or with a complete cycle of the liftgate, using
any one of the command switches. Refer to Standard
Procedures in this section for detailed instructions.

POWER LIFTGATE SYSTEM (Continued)
The power liftgate system is designed with a number of system inhibitors. These inhibitors are necessary for safety and / or feasibility of the power
liftgate system. Refer to power liftgate system inhibitors noted below:
POWER LIFTGATE SYSTEM INHIBITORS
• The Power Liftgate may not operate in extreme
temperatures. These extreme temperatures will be
approximately -12° F (-24.4° C) on the low side and
143° F (61.6° C) for the high side. A chime/thermister
assembly in the rear light bar assembly monitors the
outside temperature.
• The vehicles transmission must be in park or
neutral for the power liftgate to start a cycle.
• If multiple obstacles are detected during the
same power open or close cycle the liftgate goes into
manual operation.
• If severe Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) are
stored in the power liftgate control module.
POWER LIFTGATE SYSTEM CAUTIONS AND
WARNINGS
WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE
BATTERY CABLE BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY
POWER LIFTGATE SYSTEM SERVICE.
WARNING: THERE IS A SMALL AREA ON BOTH
SIDES OF THE LOWER POWER LIFTGATE WHICH
ARE NOT PROTECTED BY PINCH SENSORS.
EXTREME CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO PREVENT
OBJECTS FROM ENTERING THIS AREA ONCE THE
LIFTGATE REACHES THE SECONDARY LATCH
CONTACT (APPROXIMATELY 1/2 INCH BEFORE
FULLY CLOSED).
WARNING: NEVER ATTEMPT TO ENTER OR EXIT
THE VEHICLE WITH THE LIFTGATE IN MOTION.
YOU COULD DAMAGE THE POWER LIFTGATE SYS-
TEM AND/OR COMPONENTS AND/OR CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
WARNING: NEVER STICK OBJECTS IN THE POWER
LIFTGATE WHEN CINCHING CLOSED. YOU COULD
DAMAGE THE VEHICLE, POWER LIFTGATE SYSTEM COMPONENTS AND/OR CAUSE PERSONAL
INJURY.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER LIFTGATE
SYSTEM
The power opening and closing power liftgate system is a complex system containing many components and modules. In order to obtain conclusive
testing the Programmable Communications Interface
(J1850) data bus network and all of the electronic
modules that provide inputs to, or receive outputs
from the power liftgate system must be checked.
The power liftgate system was designed to be diagnosed with an appropriate diagnostic scan tool, such
as the DRB IIIt. The most reliable, efficient, and
accurate means to diagnose the power liftgate system
requires the use of a DRB IIIt scan tool and the
proper Body Diagnostic Procedures manual. The
DRB IIIt can be used to observe various switch statuses throughout the power liftgate system to help
the technician diagnose a defective switch or component. The DRB IIIt can also be used to actuate various components throughout the power liftgate
system to help the technician diagnose a defective
component.
Before any testing of the power liftgate system is
attempted, the battery should be fully charged, all
built-in power liftgate system inhibitors read and
understood (Refer to power liftgate system operation)
and all wire harness and ground connections
inspected around the affected areas on the vehicle.
Following are quick reference diagnostic tables to
help when diagnosing and testing the power liftgate
system.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - LIFTGATE
ADJUSTMENT
In order for the power liftgate system to function
properly the liftgate must move freely and smoothly.
The power liftgate system can acommodate for some
minor changes in the effort required to move the liftgate. However, in extreme conditions the liftgate may
need to be mechanicaly adjusted for proper fit and
finish. Refer to the Liftgate Adjustment procedure in
the Body section of the service manual for detailed
instructions.
If a problem exists with the power liftgate and it is
suspected to be extreme effort check the liftgate prop
rods and hinges for free movement. Use a known
good vehicle for liftgate effort comparison.
NOTE: Routine application of Mopar MP-50T or
equivalent on the chrome prop rod shafts and liftgate latch and hinges will help keep the liftgate in
good working order.

8N - 9
POWER LIFTGATE SYSTEM (Continued)
STANDARD PROCEDURE - POWER LIFTGATE
LEARN CYCLE
Any time a power liftgate component is removed,
replaced or a liftgate adjustment is performed a learn
cycle must be performed. This learn cycle enables the
power liftgate control module to learn or relearn
information (travel limits, resistance to door travel,
etc.) which allows it to perform properly and safely.
To perform a learn cycle do the following:
(1) Obtain a DRB IIIt scan tool.
(2) Connect the DRB IIIt to the vehicle and check
for any power liftgate system stored trouble codes,
correct and erase any stored codes.
(3) Using the DRB IIIt, Go into Test Routine
Menu and select the power open command.
(4) Select the power close command.
(5) The liftgate learn cycle is complete.
If a DRB IIIt scan tool is not available the learn
cycle can be performed by actuating the liftgate by
using any of the normal command switches. Be certain to cycle the liftgate through a complete open and
close cycle before returning the vehicle to service.
NOTE: If the power liftgate will not complete a full
cycle a problem exists with the power liftgate system. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER DOORS DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
PINCH SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a power liftgate utilize two
pinch sensors, one is located on each side of the liftgate (Fig. 4). These sensors look like weather-strips,
however they consist of pieces of electrically conductive rubber (tapeswitch), wires, resistor, double sided
tape, and a plastic carrier. They are used to indicate
an obstruction during a power close cycle.
OPERATION
During a power liftgate close cycle, if either of the
two conductive rubber strips (tapeswitch) of the
pinch sensor come in contact with an obstacle, the
pinch sensor circuit is completed. This tells the
power liftgate control module that a obstruction is
felt. The control module will stop the liftgate immediately and return it to the full open position.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the negative battery
cable.
(2) Remove trim panel from liftgate. Refer to Body
for the procedure.

DOORS/CONTROL ROD - REMOVAL).
(3) Cut the two wires leading to the full open
switch or back the wires out of the electrical connector (Fig. 5). Refer to the Wiring section of the service
manual for detailed instructions.
(4) Remove the full open switch retaining screw
and remove the full open switch from the gear motor
housing assembly.
INSTALLATION
Fig. 5 FULL OPEN SWITCH LOCATION
1 - FULL OPEN SWITCH
2 - GEAR MOTOR ASSEMBLY RETAINING BOLT (1 OF 3)
Vehicles equipped with a power liftgate utilize a
full open switch. This switch is located on the gear
motor housing (Fig. 5) and is used to signal the
power liftgate module when the liftgate is in the full
open position. Two wires are used from the full open
switch contacts to the gear motor assemblies main
electrical connector.
The full open switch is a serviceable component.
Consult your Mopar parts catalog for a specific part
number.
OPERATION
When the power liftgate reaches the full open position, the gear motor housing mounted full open
switch electrical contacts come in contact with each
other. This sends a ground signal to the power liftgate control module, telling the module that the liftgate has reached the full open position.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the negative battery
cable.
(1) Perform a wiring repair on the full open switch
wires following the approved procedure in the Wiring
section of the service manual. Or install new terminals on the wire ends and reinstall in the main liftgate motor electrical connector.
(2) Position and install the full open switch retaining screw.
(3) Install the power liftgate lift gear and link rod
assembly. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
DOORS/CONTROL ROD - INSTALLATION)
(4) Connect the negative battery cable.
(5) Using an appropriate scan tool, check any
erase any power liftgate control module diagnostic
trouble codes.
(6) Verify power liftgate system and full open
switch operation. Cycle the power liftgate through
one complete open and close cycle, this will allow the
power liftgate control module to relearn its cycle with
the new components.
LIFTGATE MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a power liftgate, utilize a
liftgate gear motor assembly (Fig. 6). The gear motor
assembly consists of a DC motor, hall effect sensor,
engage actuator, full open switch, lift gear, aluminum
housing, drive gears and wire harness. The gears and
motor portion of the assembly provides the power
and torque required to open or close the liftgate
under the worst case conditions. The hall effect sensor is used to provide the liftgate control module with
a speed reading, which is used to monitor the resistance of liftgate travel. This speed reading also
allows the power liftgate control module to detect
obstructions and move the liftgate accordingly. The
engage actuator is used to toggle between power
open/close mode and full manual mode when desired.
The full open switch is used to let the power liftgate
control module know when the liftgate is approaching the full open position.

referred to, is an open and close command switch
located on the vehicles interior body side B-pillar
trim. The overhead console switch, is an open and
close command switch located in the vehicle’s overhead console. More detailed information can be found
on these components later in this section.
Safety is of the utmost concern with the power
sliding door system. Software technology has enabled
the power sliding door control module to detect resistance to door travel. This allows the power sliding
door to stop and reverse direction any time an
obstruction is felt or any of the command switches
are operated (while closing only). Battery voltage is
supplied to the power sliding door system through a
40 amp fuse, located in the Intelligent Power Module
(IPM) assembly (Fig. 3). The child lockout switch prevents children from opening or actuating the power
sliding door system when desired. In the unlikely
event that the power sliding door system develops a
fault, the power sliding door can still be operated
manually from the interior or exterior door handle,
just like a standard manual sliding door.
The power sliding door control module communicates on the J1850 PCI Data Bus Circuit. Therefore,
the power sliding door control module can generate
and store its own diagnostic trouble codes (DTC). A
diagnostic scan tool, such as the DRB IIIt is used to

manual.
WARNING: BE CERTAIN TO READ ALL WARNINGS
AND CAUTIONS IN POWER SLIDING DOOR OPERATION BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY SERVICE OF
POWER SLIDING DOOR SYSTEM OR COMPONENTS.
OPERATION
With the push of a power sliding door open/close
command switch (key fob, overhead console or B-pillar mounted) a signal is sent out to the Body Control
Module (BCM). The BCM then sends a signal out on
the PCI Data Bus circuit (J1850) to the power sliding
door module. The power sliding door module then
signals the power sliding door latch to release the
door to the unlatched and movable position. The
motor then starts an open cycle.
During the door open cycle, if the power sliding
door module detects sufficient resistance to door
travel, such as an obstruction in the door’s path, the
power sliding door module will immediately stop door
movement and reverse door travel to the full open or
closed position. The ability for the power sliding door
module to detect resistance to door travel is accomplished by hall effect sensors and the door motor
speed.
The power sliding door control module has the ability to learn. Anytime a door is opened or closed using
the power sliding door system the module learns
from its cycle. If a replacement power sliding door
component is installed or a door adjustment is made,
the module must re-learn the effort required to open
or close the door. A learn cycle can be performed with
a Diagnostic Scan Tool, such as the DRB IIIt, or with
a complete cycle of the door, using any one of the
command switches. Refer to Standard Procedures in
this section for detailed instructions.
The power sliding door system is designed with a
number of system inhibitors. These inhibitors are
necessary for safety and/or feasibility of the power
sliding door system. See the power sliding door system inhibitors noted below:
POWER SLIDING DOOR SYSTEM INHIBITORS
• The power sliding door must be in the full open
or closed position in order for the power sliding door
system to start a cycle. If the door is not in this position (based on the input from the full open, pawl or
ratchet switches) the door control module will not
respond to command switch inputs.
• The vehicles transmission must be in park or
neutral in order for the power sliding door system to
start a cycle.
• The vehicles child lockout switch must be in the
“UNLOCKED” position in order for the power sliding
door systems B-pillar switches to function.
• If multiple obstacles are detected during the
same power open or close cycle the power sliding
door may go into full manual mode.
• If severe Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) are
stored in the power sliding door control module the
power sliding door may go into full manual mode.
• Due to the high pressure created in the passenger compartment with the blower motor on high, the
power sliding door may not complete a power close
cycle unless a window is cracked, allowing the pressure to escape. This situation will only be experienced on some vehicles, or vehicles with brand new
side door weather seals installed. Refer to the Side
Door Adjustment procedure in the Standard Procedures section of this group.
• The vehicles fuel tank filler door must be in the
closed position. Due to the sliding door interference

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER SLIDING
DOOR SYSTEM
The power opening and closing power sliding door
system is a complex system containing many components and modules. In order to obtain conclusive
testing, the Programmable Communications Interface
(J1850) data bus network and all of the electronic
modules that provide inputs to, or receive outputs
from the power sliding door system must be checked.
The power sliding door system was designed to be
diagnosed with an appropriate diagnostic scan tool,
such as the DRB IIIt. The most reliable, efficient,
and accurate means to diagnose the power sliding
door system requires the use of a DRB IIIt scan tool
and the proper Body Diagnostic Procedures manual.
The DRB IIIt can be used to observe various switch
statuses throughout the power sliding door system to
help the technician diagnose a defective switch or
component. The DRB IIIt can also be used to actuate
various components throughout the power sliding
door system to help the technician diagnose a defective component.
Before any testing of the power sliding door system
is attempted, the battery should be fully charged, all
built-in power sliding door system inhibitors read
and understood (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
DOORS - OPERATION) and all wire harness and
ground connections inspected around the affected
areas on the vehicle.
The following are quick reference diagnostic tables
to help when diagnosing and testing the power sliding door system.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - WELLNUT
REPLACEMENT
Vehicles equipped with a power sliding door utilize
wellnuts. These wellnuts are used to hold and isolate
the power sliding door motor to and from the door
inner panel. The wellnut functions like a expandable
rubber core plug, as the screw fastener is threaded
into the wellnut and tightened the wellnuts diameter
increases. This secures the door motor assembly to
the inner panel and keeps the audible motor vibrations to a minimum. If a wellnut shows signs of wear,
it must be replaced. Follow the procedure below if
replacement is necessary.
(1) Remove the door motor from the door inner
panel. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER DOORS/
MOTOR - REMOVAL).
(2) Remove the wellnuts from the inner panel by
pulling them straight out (Fig. 4). If a wellnut is difficult to remove, use a high leverage cutting tool to
cut the wellnut in half and remove the two halves
from the door assembly.
CAUTION: Be certain to use the correct torque
specification (35 in.lbs.) when installing the door
motor retaining screws.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - POWER DOOR
LEARN CYCLE
Any time a power side door component is removed,
replaced, door adjustment is performed or diagnostic
trouble codes are addressed and erased, a learn cycle
must be performed. This learn cycle enables the
power side door control module to learn or relearn its
critical information (travel limits, resistance to door
travel, etc.) which allows it to perform properly and
safely. It also tells the technician that the system is
performing properly and is able to be returned to service. To perform a power door learn cycle do the following:
(1) Obtain a DRB IIIt scan tool.
Connect the DRB IIIt to the vehicle and check for
any power side door system stored diagnostic trouble
codes, erase any stored codes. Operate the system
and check to see if any trouble codes return. If any
diagnostic trouble codes return, diagnose, correct and
erase the codes before performing the learn cycle. If a
DRB IIIt scan tool is not available, the learn cycle
can be performed by opening and closing the power
side door using any of the normal open/close command switches. Be certain to cycle the side door
through a complete open and close cycle or the procedure will not be complete.
(2) Using the DRB IIIt, Go into Test Routine
Menu and select a power open command.
(3) Select a power close command.
(4) The power side door learn cycle is complete.
NOTE: If the power side door will not complete a
full cycle, a problem exists with the power side
door system. Refer to Power Side Door Diagnosis
and Testing.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - SLIDING DOOR
ADJUSTMENT
Fig. 4 Side Door Motor Wellnuts
1 - Wellnuts
2 - Side Door Inner Panel
(3) Install the replacement wellnuts in the inner
panel and install the door motor(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER DOORS/MOTOR - INSTALLATION) .
In order for the power sliding door system to function properly the door must move freely and
smoothly. The power sliding door system can accommodate for some minor changes in the effort required
to move the door. However, in extreme conditions the
door may need to be mechanically adjusted for proper
fit. (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOORS - SLIDING/SLIDING DOOR - ADJUSTMENTS).
If a problem exists with the power sliding door and
it is suspected to be extreme effort, check for proper
door alignment and adjustment first, then check the
door tracks and drive unit for free manual operation.

LATCH
DESCRIPTION
OPERATION
The power latch performs the same operation as a
full manual door latch as well as power cinch,
release, lock and unlock operations. The power latch
mounted actuator cinches the door closed and latches
it in its primary latched position. During a power
close cycle, the power cinch actuator will not operate
until the side door has reached its secondary latch
position (determined by pawl and ratchet switches).
During a power open cycle, the power release actuator will stop once the side door has moved from primary latch position.
The power latch uses inputs from the lock/unlock
actuator, power side door control module and child
lockout, pawl, ratchet and handle switches to provide
safe power cinch and release operations. Refer to
Power Side Door Operation for additional information.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the negative battery
cable.
(2) Remove the appropriate side door trim panel.
Refer to the Body section for the procedure.

Lower Drive Unit Cover
Vehicles equipped with a power sliding side door
utilize a lower drive unit track or door track and
rack assembly. This track provides a mating rack
gear (Fig. 13) for the lower drive unit to engage. The
track also accepts the lower hinge rollers, which
helps support the weight of the side door as well as
providing a smooth surface for the hinge rollers to
move upon.
The lower door track is a replaceable component.
Consult your Mopar parts catalog for specific part
numbers.
OPERATION
With the start of a power door open cycle, the door
motor drives the flex drive assembly. The flex drive
assembly drives the lower drive unit. A metal drive
gear which is part of the lower drive unit, meshes
with the door track rack teeth and moves the door
into the full open position. The same operation
repeats itself, during a power close cycle only the system rotates in the opposite direction.

SLIDING DOOR MODULE
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a power sliding door utilize
a sliding door control module. The sliding door control module is located behind the sliding door trim
panel in the center of the door, just above the sliding
door motor (Fig. 22). This module controls the operation of the door through the Programmable Communication Interface (PCI) J1850 data bus circuit and
the Body Control Module. The sliding door control
module contains software technology which enables it
to detect resistance to door travel and to reverse door
travel in order to avoid damage to the door or to
avoid possible personal injury if the obstruction is a
person. This feature functions in both the opening
and closing cycles. If the power sliding door system
develops any problems the control module will store
and recall Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). The use
of a diagnostic scan tool, such as the DRB IIIt is
required to read and troubleshoot these trouble
codes. The sliding door control module can be
reflashed if necessary. Refer to the latest Technical
Service Bulletin (TSB) Information for any updates.
The power door control module is a replaceable
component and cannot be repaired, if found to be
faulty it must be replaced. Consult your Mopar™
parts catalog for a specific part number.

OPERATION
The power sliding door control module serves as
the main computer for the power sliding side door
system. All power door functions are processed
through the power door control module and/or the
vehicles body control module (BCM). At the start of a
power open command, a signal is sent to the BCM
and then to the power door control module via the
J1850 data bus circuit. This signal, generated by any
of the power door command switches, tells the power
door control module to activate a power latch release,
engage the clutch assembly and drive the door into
the full open position. If an obstacle is felt during
this power open cycle, the module will reverse direction and close the door. This process is also enabled
during a power close cycle. This process will repeat
three times, and if a fourth obstacle is detected, the
door will go into full manual mode. Once the full
open position is obtained, a hold open latch assembly
mounted full open switch tells the control module
that the door has reached the full open position. If
the power sliding door system develops any problems
the control module will store and recall Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTC). The use of a diagnostic scan
tool, such as the DRB IIIt is required to read and
troubleshoot these trouble codes.

DESCRIPTION
POWER DOOR LOCK SYSTEM
The front doors, sliding door(s) and liftgate are
equipped with actuator motors to lock or unlock the
latch mechanisms. The door lock actuator motor is
not serviced separately from the door latch, except
for the sliding door(s).
AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK
The vehicle comes with two options for power door
locks:
• Rolling automatic lock (ENABLE), doors automatically lock at approximately at 25.7 Km/h (16
mph).
• No rolling automatic lock (DISABLE), doors do
not automatically lock when the vehicle is moving.
AUTOMATIC DOOR UNLOCK
The doors will unlock automatically on vehicles
equipped with power door locks if:
• Auto door locks feature is enabled and automatic
unlock is enabled.
• The transmission was in gear and speed is above
zero.
• The transmission in park or neutral and speed
is zero.
• Any door (excluding liftgate) opens.
DOOR LOCK INHIBIT
The BCM cancels out the door lock switch actuation, when the key is in the Ignition Switch and
either front door is open.
Pressing the key fob RKE lock/unlock under these
conditions results in normal lock/unlock activation.
CENTRAL LOCKING
If equipped with Vehicle Theft Security System
(VTSS), all the doors can be locked with the key by
using any of the door lock cylinders. Turning the key
to the lock position will lock all the doors.
DOOR LOCK CIRCUIT PROTECTION
The door lock system is protected by a 40 amp fuse
located in the IPM. The BCM receives lock/unlock
input and will turn on the appropriate drivers and
provide a voltage level to the door lock motor for a
specific time. The IPM is located along the side of the
vehicle battery in the engine compartment.

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS
The BCM is equipped with a disable feature to
stop the speed sensitive automatic door locks from
functioning. The DISABLE feature can be switched
ON or OFF as desired. When the system is DISABLED the door locks will operate normally, but will
not lock automatically when the vehicle is rolling.
When the door locks are ENABLED the door locks
will automatically lock when the vehicle is moving at
about 25.7 Km/h (16 mph). All doors are closed, the
PCM has set the “OK TO LOCK” bit, and doors were
not previously locked.

Fig. 1 KEY FOB
1 - LEFT SLIDING DOOR BUTTON
2 - RIGHT SLIDING DOOR BUTTON
3 - LIFTGATE SWITCH
The key fob transmitter (Fig. 1) has six buttons.
Three of them, LOCK, UNLOCK, and PANIC, are
used to actuate parts of, and program the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) system via the customer programming mode. It is not necessary to use the
PANIC button with the DRB IIIt scan tool mode of
programming.
OPERATION
POWER DOOR LOCK SYSTEM
The Body Control Module (BCM) locks or unlocks
the doors when an actuation input signal from a door
lock switch or Remote Keyless Entry Module (RKE)
is received. The BCM turns on the output drivers
and provides a voltage level to the door lock motor
for a specified time. The BCM locks the doors automatically when the vehicle is driven beyond the
speed of 25.7 Km/h (16 mph). The rolling door lock
feature can be disabled if desired. All doors and liftgate can be locked or unlocked using mechanical button or key cylinder methods (Liftgate cylinder does
not lock/unlock vehicle. It only unlocks the liftgate).
If the key is in the ignition, in any position, and
either front door is ajar, all power door lock functioning shall be disabled when activating either door lock
switch. Also, if the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) is
armed, the door lock switch “UNLOCK” feature will
be disabled until the vehicle is disarmed. Pressing
the RKE lock/unlock button under these conditions
will result in a normal lock/unlock activation.
After the key is removed from the Ignition Switch,
or the doors are closed, the power door locks will
operate normally.
CENTRAL LOCKING
If equipped with Vehicle Theft Security System
(VTSS), all the doors can be locked with the key by
using any of the door lock cylinders. Turning the key
to the LOCK position will lock all the doors.
When either of the front key cylinder switches is
detected active, the BCM will activate the illuminated entry feature and the individual front doors
will become mechanically unlocked. To central unlock
all doors, a second transition from OFF to UNLOCK
has to occur within 2 seconds of the first complete
UNLOCK cycle.
To central unlock the driver door, turn the key to
the rear of the vehicle. This indicates an unlock signal to the BCM. For the passenger door, turn the key
toward the front of the vehicle. When either key cylinder switch is detected as active, the BCM will activate the illuminated entry feature. The individual
doors will become mechanically unlocked.
To central lock the vehicle, the driver door lock cylinder is turned toward the front of the vehicle. The
passenger door lock cylinder is turned toward the
rear of the vehicle. When a lock input from either
key cylinder is detected as active, the BCM will cancel the illuminated entry feature and perform the
central lock operation.
POWER LOCKS
RS
8N - 41
POWER LOCKS (Continued)
DOOR LOCK CIRCUIT PROTECTION
The BCM controls the door lock output drivers. If
the door lock switch is actuated continuously for
more than one second the BCM will turn the output
driver OFF (the BCM would consider the switch
stuck). The lock motors are protected with Positive
Temperature Coefficient (PTC) device that prevents
motor burn out.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
• LOCK: Pressing the LOCK button locks all
doors and sounds horn (chirp) and arm the Vehicle
Theft Security System, if equipped. The chirp verifies
that the RKE receiver has sent a message to the
BCM for door lock operation. If a door has not been
closed before pressing the LOCK button, the vehicle
may not be secured and the VTSS will not arm until
the door is closed.
• UNLOCK: Pressing the UNLOCK button once
will unlock the driver’s side doors and activate the
illuminated entry system and disarm Vehicle Theft
Security System, if equipped. Pressing the UNLOCK
button twice within five seconds will unlock all doors
and activate the illuminated entry system.
• LEFT SLIDING DOOR: Pressing the LEFT
SLIDING DOOR BUTTON opens/closes the left
power sliding door remotely.
• RIGHT SLIDING DOOR: Pressing the RIGHT
SLIDING DOOR BUTTON opens/closes the right
power sliding door remotely.
• LIFTGATE: Pressing the LIFTGATE BUTTON
opens/closes the liftgate remotely, if equipped.If not
equipped with power liftgate, pressing the liftgate button will allow a one time 30 second access to liftgate.
• PANIC: Pressing the PANIC button sounds the
horns at half second intervals, flashes the exterior
lamps, and turns ON the interior lamps. The panic
alarm will remain on for three minutes, or until the
PANIC button is actuated again or the ignition
switch is turned to the RUN position.
The Remote Keyless Entry Module is capable of
retaining the transmitter Vehicle Access Code(s)
(VAC) in its memory even after vehicle power has
been interrupted.
NOTE: Additional features available to the customer
are described in the Vehicle Owners Manual.
The RKE system activates the optional memory
seat, mirror system and adjustable pedals, if
equipped. Two primary key fob transmitters can be
programmed to actuate memory seat and mirror setting 1 or 2. Two additional key fob transmitters can be
added, but they will not be able to operate the memory seat and mirror system (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER SEATS - OPERATION) and (Refer to 8 ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS - OPERATION).
DOOR CYLINDER LOCK
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The Door Cylinder Lock Switch is used to:
• Unlock/Lock all the doors via the Central Locking feature.
• Arm/Disarm the Vehicle Theft Security System.
• Trigger the Illuminated Entry feature.
The door cylinder lock switch is mounted to the
rear of the driver and passenger door lock cylinders.
When installed on the rear of the cylinder, there is a
tab on the lock cylinder that aligns with the switch
to prevent it from turning. An anti-rotating device.
The door cylinder lock switch is a one time use
switch. Once it is removed from the rear of the door
lock cylinder, it may not be reinstalled and a new
switch must be used.
OPERATION
When the Door Cylinder Lock Switch is turned
either way using the door key cylinder, the BCM
reads a direct message signal from the switch, via
the Programmable Communication Interface (PCI)
bus.
If turning the key cylinder once, toward the front
of the vehicle (for either driver or passenger doors),
this will:
(1) Mechanically unlock the door lock.
(2) Disarm the Vehicle Theft Security System (if
equipped).
(3) Turn on the Illuminated Entry (if equipped) for
approximately 30 seconds.
If the key cylinder is turned to the unlock position
(toward the front of vehicle) twice within two seconds, all the doors and liftgate will unlock (if
equipped with the central locking feature).
To lock the vehicle using the door cylinder lock
switch, turn the key cylinder toward the rear of the
vehicle (either passenger or driver doors) once. This
will lock the door that you are using the key on. If
equipped with the central locking feature, this will
lock all the other doors and liftgate. Furthermore,
this will arm the vehicle theft security system and
turn off the illuminated entry.

POWER MIRRORS
DESCRIPTION
If equipped with power mirrors, the control switch
is located on the instrument panel to the left of the
headlamp switch.
OPERATION
The power mirrors are connected to battery feed at
all times. Each mirror head contains two electric
motors, two drive mechanisms, an electric heating
element, and the mirror glass. If the vehicle is
equipped with the optional memory system, each
mirror head also contains both a horizontal and a
vertical motor position sensor. One motor and drive
controls mirror up-and-down movement, and the
other controls right-and-left movement.
An optional driver side outside electrochromic mirror is able to automatically change its reflectance
level. This mirror is controlled by the circuitry of the
automatic day/night inside rear view mirror. A thin
layer of electrochromic material between two pieces
of conductive glass make up the face of the mirror.
Two photocell sensors on the inside rear view mirror
are used to monitor light levels and adjust the reflectance of both the inside and driver side outside mirrors. This change in reflectance helps to reduce the
glare of headlamps approaching the vehicle from the
rear. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS/
AUTOMATIC DAY / NIGHT MIRROR - DESCRIPTION) for more information on this system.
The motors which operate the mirrors are part of
the mirror assembly and cannot be serviced separately.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER MIRRORS
(1) Remove Power Mirror Switch. (Refer to 8 ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS/POWER MIRROR
SWITCH - REMOVAL).
(2) Disconnect wiring harness connector to the
power mirror switch and headlamp switch.
(3) Using two jumper wires:
• Connect one to a 12-volt source
• Connect the other to a good body ground
• Refer to the Mirror Test Chart for wire hookups
at the switch connector (Fig. 1).

AUTOMATIC DAY / NIGHT
MIRROR
DESCRIPTION
An automatic dimming inside day/night rear view
mirror and an automatic dimming driver side outside
rear view mirror are available factory-installed
options on this model. Following is a general description of this optional equipment.
The automatic day/night mirror is able to automatically change its reflectance. A thin layer of electrochromic material between two pieces of conductive
glass make up the face of the mirror. Two photocell
sensors are used to monitor light levels and adjust
the reflectance of the mirror to reduce the glare of
headlamps approaching the vehicle from the rear.
For removal procedures, (Refer to 23 - BODY/INTERIOR/REAR VIEW MIRROR - REMOVAL).
OPERATION
The ambient photocell sensor faces forward, to
detect the outside light levels. A second sensor faces
rearward to detect the light level received through
the vehicles back window. When the difference
between the two light levels becomes too great (the
light level received at the rear of the mirror is much
higher than that at the front of the mirror), the mirror begins to darken.
8N - 48
POWER MIRRORS
RS
AUTOMATIC DAY / NIGHT MIRROR (Continued)
The mirror switch allows the driver a manual control of whether the automatic dimming feature is
operational. When AUTO is selected a small LightEmitting Diode (LED), to the right of the mirror
switch, is illuminated. The automatic dimming feature will only operate when the ignition switch is in
the On position. The mirror also senses the backup
lamp circuit, and will automatically disable its selfdimming feature whenever the transmission gear
selector is in the Reverse position.
NOTE: The mirror always defaults to an ON state
upon ignition.
The driver side automatic dimming mirror is standard with the automatic dimming inside mirror. The
signal to control the dimming of that mirror is generated by the automatic day/night inside rear view
mirror circuitry. That signal is then delivered to the
driver side outside rear view mirror on a hard wired
circuit.
The automatic day/night mirror cannot be
repaired. If faulty or damaged, the entire inside rear
view mirror assembly must be replaced.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AUTOMATIC DAY /
NIGHT MIRROR
For circuit descriptions and diagrams, refer to the
appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information
and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
(1) Check the fuse in the intelligent power module.
If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component as required and replace the faulty
fuse.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fuse in the intelligent power module. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK,
repair the open circuit to the ignition switch as
required.
(3) Unplug the wire harness connector from the
automatic day/night mirror. Check for battery voltage
at the fused ignition switch output circuit cavity of
the automatic day/night mirror wire harness connector. If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open
circuit to the junction block as required.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit cavity of the automatic day/night mirror wire harness
connector and a good ground. There should be continuity. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the circuit to ground as required.
(5) Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Set
the parking brake. Place the transmission gear selector lever in the Reverse position. Check for battery
voltage at the backup lamp switch output circuit cavity of the automatic day/night mirror wire harness
connector. If voltage is present, reinstall the automatic day/night mirror wire harness connector and
go to Step 6. If not OK, repair the open circuit as
required.
(6) Place the transmission gear selector lever in
the Neutral position. Place the automatic day/night
mirror switch in the On (LED in the switch is
lighted) position. Cover the forward facing ambient
photocell sensor to keep out any ambient light.
NOTE: The ambient photocell sensor must be covered completely, so that no light reaches the sensor. Use a finger pressed tightly against the sensor,
or cover the sensor completely with electrical tape.
(7) Shine a light into the rearward facing headlamp photocell sensor. The automatic day/night mirror should darken. The automatic day/night mirror
should darken within 2 minutes if testing for the
first time. For immediate response, turn the vehicle
OFF and back ON with the forward-facing light sensor still covered. This defeats the day-detect logic. If
OK, go to Step 8. If not OK, replace the faulty mirror
unit.
(8) With the mirror darkened, place the transmission gear selector lever in the Reverse position. The
automatic day/night mirror should return to its normal reflectance. If not OK, replace the faulty mirror
unit.
Bench testing both mirrors can be done, of care is
exercised. For an inside mirror, the pin closest to he
mount is 12V (+), the next is 12V (-). The third is
reverse override. The fourth is outside mirror (+),
and the fifth is outside mirror (-). Do not apply 12
volts to the fourth and fifth pins. With 12 volts
on pins 1 and 2, the mirror can be tested by blocking
the rear sensor and shining a light into the forward
sensor. For an outside mirror, there is a 2–pin connector. Applying 1.2 volts will cause the mirror to
dim. If the mirror does not dim, the entire glass
assembly can be replaced just as it is when the glass
is broken.
WARNING: Do not apply 12 volts to the outside mirror. Damage to the mirror will result.

The eight-way power seat is also available with the
heated seat and memory seat system that automatically positions the power seat for two different drivers. Refer to Heated Seats for more information on
the heated seat option. Refer to Description Memory Seat System in this section for more information on the memory seat system.
The power seat system includes the following components:
• Power seat recliners
• Power seat switches
• Power seat tracks
• Circuit breaker
The power seat system with memory and heated
seat options includes the following components:
• Power seat recliner
• Power seat switch
• Power seat track.
• Memory Seat Mirror Module (MSMM)
• Memory set switch
• Heated Seat Module (HSM)
• Heated seat switch
• Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
• Programmable Communications Interface (PCI)
data bus network
Refer to Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit diagrams. Following are general descriptions and operations for the major components in the power seat
system and memory seat system.
An electronic memory system is available on some
models. The memory system is able to store and
recall the driver side power seat positions (including
the power recliner position) and both outside side
view mirrors positions for two drivers. On vehicles
equipped with a factory radio, the memory system is
also able to store and recall radio station presets for
two drivers. The memory system also will store and
recall the last station listened to for each driver, even
if it is not one of the preset stations.
The memory system will automatically return to
its preset settings when the corresponding numbered
button of the memory switch is depressed, or when
the doors are unlocked using the corresponding
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. A customer
programmable feature of the memory system allows
the RKE recall of memory features to be disabled, if
desired. This programmable feature is internal in the
EVIC module, which is located in the overhead console.
A Memory Seat Mirror Module (MSMM) is used on
some models to control and integrate the many electronic functions and features included in the memory
seat and mirror systems.
The memory system includes the following components:
• Memory Seat Mirror Module (MSMM)
• Memory set switch
• Position potentiometers on both outside side
view mirrors
• Position potentiometers on the driver side power
seat track and power seat recliner motors.
• Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
• Radio receiver (if PCI data bus capable).
Certain functions of the memory system rely upon
resources shared with other electronic modules in the
vehicle over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) J1850 data bus network. The PCI
data bus network allows the sharing of sensor information. This helps to reduce wire harness complexity,
internal controller hardware, and component sensor
current loads. At the same time, this system provides
increased reliability, enhanced diagnostics, and
allows the addition of many new feature capabilities.
Initial diagnosis of these electronic modules or the
PCI data bus network requires the use of a DRB IIIt
scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual. If this method does not prove conclusive, the use
of a automotive meter such as the Fluket, the proper
wiring schematics and the service manual diagnostic
routines are required.
The other electronic modules that may affect memory system operation are as follows:

memory and power seat systems.
OPERATION
OPERATION - POWER SEAT SYSTEM
The power seat system receives battery current
through fuse #22 in the Intelligent Power Module
and a circuit breaker under the front seats, regardless of the ignition switch position.
When a power seat switch control knob or knobs
are actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are
applied through the switch contacts to the appropriate power seat track adjuster motor. The selected
adjuster motor operates to move the seat track
through its drive unit in the selected direction until
the switch is released, or until the travel limit of the
seat track is reached. When the switch is moved in
the opposite direction, the battery feed and ground
path to the motor are reversed through the switch
contacts. This causes the adjuster motor to run in the
opposite direction.
No power seat switch should be held applied in any
direction after the seat track has reached its travel
limit. The power seat track each contain a self-resetting circuit breaker to protect them from overload.
However, consecutive or frequent resetting of the circuit breaker must not be allowed to continue, or the
motor may be damaged. Refer to the owner’s manual
in the vehicle glove box for more information on the
features, use and operation of the power seat system.
OPERATION - MEMORY SYSTEM
The memory system receives battery current
through fuse #22 in the Intelligent Power Module
and the power seat system circuit breaker, located
under each front seat near the rear edge of the seat
cushion pans. The Memory Seat Mirror Module
(MSMM) will drive a maximum of 2 motors at a time
in a given direction. If conflicting directions are
requested, the priority for response will be as follows:
• Seat Track Rearward or Forward
• Seat Front Down or Up
• Seat Rear Down or Up
• Recliner Rearward or Forward
The inputs from these switches to the MSMM is a
current limited battery source fed by the MSMM.
This protects the MSMM printed circuit board traces
from acting as fuses. All of these switch contact
inputs to the MSMM are normally closed to ground,
except when actuated.
See the owner’s manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the memory system. For diagnosis of the MSMM,
the PCI data bus, or the other electronic modules on
the PCI data bus that provide inputs and outputs for
the memory system, the use of a DRBIIIt scan tool
and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual are
recommended.
ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
serves as the user interface for the memory system.
It displays memory system status messages and provides the user with the means for enabling and disabling the many customer programmable features
available on the vehicle, including those for the memory system.
See the owner’s manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the EVIC. Refer to Electronic Vehicle Information Center in Overhead Console Systems for more
information on the EVIC.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER SEAT
SYSTEM
Following are tests that will help to diagnose the
hard wired components and circuits of the power seat
system. However, if the vehicle is also equipped with
the optional memory system, these tests may not
prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the driver side
power seat. In order to obtain conclusive testing of
the driver side power seat with the memory system
option, the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus network and all of the electronic modules that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from
the memory system components must be checked.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the driver side power seat with the memory
system option requires the use of a DRB IIIt scan
tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual.
The DRB IIIt scan tool can provide confirmation that
the PCI data bus is functional, that all of the electronic modules are sending and receiving the proper
messages on the PCI data bus, and that the memory

system is receiving the proper hard wired inputs and
relaying the proper hard wired outputs to perform its
driver side power seat functions.
WARNING: SOME VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH

BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO DIAGNOSE OR SERVICE ANY
SEAT OR POWER SEAT SYSTEM COMPONENT
YOU MUST FIRST DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE
BATTERY NEGATIVE CABLE. THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE FURTHER SYSTEM SERVICE.
THIS IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE
AIRBAG SYSTEM. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
(1) If the driver power seat exhibits a interrupted
or jerky motion, there is a possibility that the wires
leading from the memory seat module to the memory
seat motor are mis-wired. To check the concern,
obtain a DRB IIIt scan tool and energize each axis
one at a time. If any axis stops in approximately 2
seconds (without hitting the end of travel), the feedback for that axis may have an open, short or be miswired. Check the wiring to that axis (module to
motor). Fix any wiring problems and retry that axis.
(2) If any power seat is not operational in any
direction, check the power seat circuit breaker,
located under the trailing edge of the appropriate
power seat. Refer to the Power Distribution section of
this service manual for the circuit breaker diagnosis
and testing procedure.
(3) If the power seat circuit breaker is OK, check
for proper 12v and ground connections at the power
seat switch and/or memory seat module. Fix any wiring problems and retry.
(4) Check the power seat system wire harness connections and pins to ensure proper circuit continuity
and ground paths. For complete circuit diagrams,
refer to Wiring Diagrams.
(5) With the dome lamp on, apply the power seat
switch in the direction of the failure. If the dome
lamp dims, the seat may be jamming. Check under
and behind the seat for binding or obstructions. If
the dome lamp does not dim, proceed with testing of
the individual components and circuits in the power
seat system.
DRB IIIt scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual. The DRB IIIt scan tool can provide

Vehicles equipped with the memory system have a
memory switch mounted to the driver side front door
trim panel (Fig. 5). This switch is used to set and
recall all of the memory system settings for up to two
drivers. The memory switch is a resistor multiplexed
unit that is hard wired to the Body Control Module
(BCM). The BCM sends out the memory system set
and recall requests to the other electronic modules
over the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus.
The memory switch cannot be adjusted or repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced. For
complete circuit diagrams, refer to Wiring Diagrams.
OPERATION
The memory switch has three momentary switch
buttons labeled Set, 1 and 2. The Driver 1 and Driver
2 buttons are back-lit with Light-Emitting Diodes
(LED) for visibility. When the memory set switch is
depressed, a resistance value is sent to the Body

MEMORY MIRROR/SEAT
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the memory mirror/seat
option, utilize a memory module located under the
drivers front seat. This module is basically wired inline between the power seat switch and the power
seat track/adjuster motors, or in-line between the
power mirror switch and the power side view mirror.
The MSMM contains a central processing unit that
communicates with other modules on the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus network.
The Memory Seat/Mirror Module (MSMM) receives
hard wired inputs from the driver power seat switch
and the potentiometers on each of the driver side
power seat track motors, or from the power mirror
switch and the potentiometers on the side view mirror. The MSMM receives messages over the PCI data
bus from the Body Control Module (BCM) (memory
switch status), the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
(vehicle speed status). The MSMM will prevent the
seat memory recall function from being initiated if
the driver side seat belt is buckled, if the transmission gear selector lever is not in the Park or Neutral
positions, or if the vehicle is moving.
For diagnosis of the MSMM or the PCI data bus, a
DRBIIIt scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual are recommended. The MSMM cannot
be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be
replaced. Refer to Memory System in the Power
Seat or Power Mirror section of this manual for more
information on the memory system option.
OPERATION
When memory system operation is requested
(depressing of the memory switch), a resistor multiplexed signal is sent from the memory switch to the
body control module (BCM). The body control module
will then send the appropriate signals out to the
memory/mirror seat module, the memory/mirror seat
module then applies the voltage supply to the power
seat track or side-view mirror if the proper requirements are met. The vehicle speed must equal zero
and the transmission must be in park or neutral in
order for the memory system to function.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - MEMORY
MIRROR/SEAT MODULE
Visually inspect the related wiring harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded
terminals. If any of the above conditions are present,
repair as necessary. If not, use a DRB IIIt scan tool
and the proper Diagnostic Procedures Manual to test
the memory/mirror seat module. For complete circuit
diagrams, refer to Wiring Diagrams.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the driver side front bucket seat
retaining nuts from under the vehicle (Refer to 23 BODY/SEATS/SEAT - REMOVAL).
(3) Lift the drivers seat up and out of the mounting holes in the floor pan and lay the seat rearward
to access the module located under the seat. It is not
necessary to disconnect the seat electrical, just use
care not to damage the wiring by over-extending.
(4) Disconnect the memory/mirror seat module
electrical connectors. Depress the retaining tab and
pull straight apart.
(5) Remove the module retaining bolts and remove
the module from the bracket.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position and install the module retaining bolts.
(2) Connect the memory/mirror seat module electrical connectors.

8N - 60
POWER SEAT SYSTEM
DRIVER POWER SEAT TRACK
DESCRIPTION
The eight-way power seat option includes a electrically operated power seat track located under each
front seat. The left side power seat track also provides the mounting location for the body control module on this vehicle. The power seat circuit breakers
are mounted on the rear of each power seat track,
just behind the seat rear trim panel. The lower half
of the power seat track is secured to the floor panel
via four studs and nuts that must be accessed from
the underside of the vehicle. Four bolts secure the
bottom of the seat cushion pan to the upper half of
the power seat track unit. Four additional bolts
secure the seat back frame to the power seat track
unit.
The power seat track unit includes four reversible
electric motors that are secured to the upper half of
the track unit. Each motor moves the seat adjuster
through a combination of worm-drive gearboxes and
screw-type drive units. Each of the four power seat
track motors used on models equipped with the
optional memory system incorporates a position
potentiometer integral to the motor assembly, which
electronically monitors the motor position. This
enables the memory system to function by referencing the motor positions programmed into the memory
seat/mirror module.
The front and rear of the seat are operated by two
separate vertical adjustment motors. These motors
can be operated independently of each other, tilting
the entire seat assembly forward or rearward; or,
they can be operated in unison by selecting the
proper power seat switch functions, which will raise
or lower the entire seat assembly. A third motor is
the horizontal adjustment motor, which moves the
seat track in the forward and rearward directions.
The forth motor is the recliner adjustment motor,
which moves the seat back in the forward and rearward directions.
The power seat track unit cannot be repaired, and
is serviced only as a complete unit. If any component
in this unit is faulty or damaged, the entire power
seat track unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
When a power seat switch control knob or knobs
are actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are
applied through the switch contacts to the power seat
track or recliner adjuster motor. The selected
adjuster motor operates to move the seat track or
recliner through its drive unit in the selected direction until the switch is released, or until the travel
limit of the adjuster is reached. When the switch is
moved in the opposite direction, the battery feed and
RS
ground path to the motor are reversed through the
switch contacts. This causes the adjuster motor to
run in the opposite direction.
No power seat switch should be held applied in any
direction after the adjuster has reached its travel
limit. The power seat adjuster motors each contain a
self-resetting circuit breaker to protect them from
overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting
of the circuit breaker must not be allowed to continue, or the motor may be damaged.
See the owner’s manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the power seat switch functions
and the seat adjusting procedures.

PASSENGER POWER SEAT
TRACK
DESCRIPTION
The eight-way power seat option includes a electrically operated power seat track unit located under
each front seat. The power seat circuit breaker is
mounted on the rear of the power seat track, just
behind the seat rear trim panel. The lower half of the
power seat track is secured to the floor panel via four
studs and nuts that must be accessed from the
underside of the vehicle. Four bolts secure the bottom of the seat cushion frame to the upper half of the
power seat track unit. Four additional bolts secure
the seat back frame to the power seat track unit.
The power seat track unit includes four reversible
electric motors that are secured to the upper half of
the track unit. Each motor moves the seat adjuster
through a combination of worm-drive gearboxes and
screw-type drive units.
The front and rear of the seat are operated by two
separate vertical adjustment motors. These motors
can be operated independently of each other, tilting
the entire seat assembly forward or rearward; or,
they can be operated in unison by selecting the
proper power seat switch functions, which will raise
or lower the entire seat assembly. A third motor is
the horizontal adjustment motor, which moves the
seat track in the forward and rearward directions.
The forth motor is the recliner adjustment motor,
which moves the seat back in the forward and rearward directions.

PASSENGER POWER SEAT TRACK (Continued)
The power seat track unit cannot be repaired, and
is serviced only as a complete unit. If any component
in this unit is faulty or damaged, the entire power
seat track unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
When a power seat switch control knob or knobs
are actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are
applied through the switch contacts to the power seat
track or recliner adjuster motor. The selected
adjuster motor operates to move the seat track or
recliner through its drive unit in the selected direction until the switch is released, or until the travel
limit of the adjuster is reached. When the switch is
moved in the opposite direction, the battery feed and
ground path to the motor are reversed through the
switch contacts. This causes the adjuster motor to
run in the opposite direction.
No power seat switch should be held applied in any
direction after the adjuster has reached its travel
limit. The power seat adjuster motors each contain a
self-resetting circuit breaker to protect them from
overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting
of the circuit breaker must not be allowed to continue, or the motor may be damaged.
See the owner’s manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the power seat switch functions
and the seat adjusting procedures.

POWER WINDOWS
DESCRIPTION
The Power Window System is activated through
switches mounted on the driver and passenger door
panels.
OPERATION
Front door window lift motors use permanent type
magnets. The B+ and ground applied at the motor
terminal pins will cause the motor to rotate in one
direction. Reversing current through the motor terminals will cause the motor to rotate in the opposite
direction.
The power window motors ground through the
master switch in the driver door by a black wire
attached to the left cowl panel. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector
repair procedures, details of wire harness routing
and retention, connector pin-out information and
location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
The power rear vent windows, if equipped, are
operated by switches mounted in the driver door
switch bezel. A separate switch is used for each window. Permanent magnet type motors connected to a
crank system are used to open and close the rear
vent windows. A battery positive and negative connection to either of the two motor terminals will
cause the motor to rotate in one direction. Reversing
current through these same two connections will
cause the motor to rotate in the opposite direction.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire
harness routing and retention, connector pin-out

The power window master switch has a Auto-Down
feature. The switch is equipped with two detent positions when actuating the power window OPEN. The
first detent position allows the window to roll down
and stop when the switch is released. The second
detent position actuates an integral express roll
down relay that rolls the window down after the
switch is released. When the express down circuit
senses stall current (window has reached end of
down travel), the switch will turn current off to the
motor. The AUTO feature can be cancelled by actuating the switch UP or DOWN while window is in
motion. If the electronic circuit in the switch fails to
detect a stall current, the auto down circuit will time
out within 9 to 13 seconds.
