Alarm Module: Description and Operation Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKREEM) - Description
DESCRIPTION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (1) is sometimes referred to as the Wireless
Control Module (WCM), and is also known as the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM). The
SKREEM is the primary component of the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS). It is also the
receiver for the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system. The SKREEM is located on the right side of
the steering column, near the ignition lock cylinder housing and is concealed beneath the steering
column shrouds. The molded black plastic housing for the SKREEM has an integral molded plastic
halo-like antenna ring (4) that extends from the bottom. When the SKREEM is properly installed on
the steering column, the antenna ring is oriented around the circumference of the ignition lock
cylinder housing.
A single integral connector receptacle (3) is located just behind the antenna ring on the bottom of
the SKREEM housing. An integral molded plastic mounting tab (2) on the rear corner of the
SKREEM housing has a hole in the center through which a screw passes to secure the unit to the
steering column. The SKREEM is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a single take
out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
Several unique SKREEM modules are used: one for vehicles equipped with RKE only, one for
vehicles equipped with RKE and SKIS, and another version has an additional coaxial connector
receptacle that allows it to receive inputs from the optional remote start antenna module. The
SKREEM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the entire SKREEM unit must
be replaced.

Alarm Module: Description and Operation Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKREEM) - Operation
OPERATION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as the Sentry Key Immobilizer
Module/SKIM or the Wireless Control Module/WCM) contains a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver
and a microprocessor. The SKREEM transmits RF signals to, and receives RF signals from the
Sentry Key transponder through a tuned antenna enclosed within the molded plastic antenna ring
integral to the SKREEM housing. If this antenna ring is not mounted properly around the ignition
lock cylinder housing, communication problems between the SKREEM and the transponder may
arise. These communication problems will result in Sentry Key transponder-related faults.
The SKREEM also serves as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) RF receiver and may receive RF
inputs either directly through an internal antenna from the RKE key fob transmitter or, on vehicles
equipped with an optional remote start system, indirectly through the external remote start antenna
module. See: Body and Frame/Locks/Power Locks/Description and Operation/Power Locks Description. The SKREEM communicates over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus with
the Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN), the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), or the diagnostic scan tool.
The SKREEM and the PCM both use software that includes a rolling code algorithm strategy,
which helps to reduce the possibility of unauthorized Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS)
disarming. The rolling code algorithm ensures security by preventing an override of the SKIS
through the unauthorized substitution of the SKREEM or the PCM. However, the use of this
strategy also means that replacement of either the SKREEM or the PCM units will require a system
initialization procedure to restore system operation.
The SKREEM retains in memory the ID numbers of any Sentry Key transponder that is
programmed into it. A maximum of eight Sentry Key transponders can be programmed into the
SKREEM. For added system security, each SKREEM is programmed with a unique Secret Key
code. This code is stored in memory, sent over the CAN data bus to the PCM, and is encoded to
the transponder of every Sentry Key that is programmed into the SKREEM. Therefore, the Secret
Key code is a common element that is found in every component of the SKIS.
Another security code, called a PIN, is used to gain access to the SKREEM Secured Access Mode.
The Secured Access Mode is required during service to perform the SKIS initialization and Sentry
Key transponder programming procedures. The SKREEM also stores the Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN) in its memory, which it learns through a CAN data bus message from the PCM
during SKIS initialization.
In the event that a SKREEM replacement is required, the Secret Key code can be transferred to
the new SKREEM from the PCM using the diagnostic scan tool and the SKIS initialization
procedure. Proper completion of the SKIS initialization will allow the existing Sentry Keys to be
programmed into the new SKREEM so that new keys will not be required. In the event that the
original Secret Key code cannot be recovered, SKREEM replacement will also require new Sentry
Keys. The diagnostic scan tool will alert the technician during the SKIS initialization procedure if
new Sentry Keys are required.
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the SKREEM transmits an RF signal to excite
the transponder in the ignition key. The SKREEM then waits for an RF signal response from the
transponder. If the response received identifies the key as valid, the SKREEM sends an electronic
valid key message to the PCM over the CAN data bus. If the response received identifies the key
as invalid or if no response is received from the key transponder, the SKREEM sends an invalid
key message to the PCM. The PCM will enable or disable engine operation based upon the status
of the SKREEM messages. It is important to note that the default condition in the PCM is an invalid
key; therefore, if no message is received from the SKREEM by the PCM, the engine will be
disabled and the vehicle immobilized after two seconds of running.
The SKREEM also sends electronic security indicator request messages to the EMIC over the CAN
data bus to tell the EMIC how to operate the security indicator. The security indicator request
message from the SKREEM tells the EMIC to turn the indicator ON for about three seconds each
time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position as a bulb test. After completion of the bulb test,
the SKREEM sends security indicator request messages to the EMIC to turn the indicator OFF,
turn the indicator ON, or to flash the indicator ON and OFF. If the security indicator flashes or stays
ON solid after the bulb test, it signifies a SKIS fault. If the SKREEM detects a system malfunction
or if the SKIS has become ineffective, the security indicator will stay ON solid. If the SKREEM
detects an invalid key or if a key transponder-related fault exists, the security indicator will flash. If
the vehicle is equipped with the Customer Learn transponder programming feature, the SKREEM
will also send messages to the EMIC to flash the security indicator whenever the Customer Learn
programming mode is being utilized. See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm
Systems/Service and Repair.
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, and will
store fault information in the form of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in SKREEM memory if a
system malfunction is detected. The hard wired circuits of the SKREEM may be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the
SKREEM or the electronic controls or communication between other modules and devices that
provide some features of the SKIS. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
the SKREEM or the electronic controls and communication related to SKREEM operation requires
the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

SKREEM PROGRAMMING
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a gasoline engine, or an Engine Control Module
(ECM) for a diesel engine and the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as the
Wireless Control Module/WCM) on vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
NOTE: If the PCM and the SKREEM are replaced at the same time, program the PCM VIN into the
PCM first.
1. If applicable first replace the PCM/ECM with the original WCM still connected to the vehicle. 2.
Using the appropriate service information program the new PCM/ECM. (This will ensure the Secret
Key Transfer from the original WCM into the
new PCM/ECM).
3. Now replace and program the WCM. This will retain the Secret Key from the PCM/ECM back
into the new WCM. 4. With the scan tool, select Miscellaneous Functions, WCM/Wireless Control
Module. Then select the desired procedure and follow the display on
the scan tool.
5. If the vehicle is equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System program the Placard Pressure
Values into the WCM/SKREEM. 6. Ensure all the customer's keys have been programmed into the
new module if necessary.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly,
programming new keys will be necessary.
PROGRAMMING THE SKREEM
The SKIS Secret Key is an ID code that is unique to each SKREEM/WCM. This code is
programmed and stored in the SKREEM/WCM, the PCM/ECM, and each ignition key transponder
chip. When the PCM/ECM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret
Key into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in
the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED, ECM REPLACED, WCM REPLACED, or
GATEWAY REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL
MODULE/WCM menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Programming the PCM/ECM or SKREEM is done using a diagnostic scan tool and a PIN to
enter secure access mode. If three
attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an incorrect PIN, secure access mode will
be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn the ignition to the RUN position for one
hour then enter the correct PIN. Be certain that all accessories are turned OFF. Also monitor the
battery state and connect a battery charger if necessary.
NOTE: Before replacing the ECU 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 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.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When a ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM 3. Replace all ignition keys and program them
to the new SKIM.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When an ECM (Bosch) and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in
order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM (Bosch) 3. Replace all ignition keys and
program them to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING THE SKIM
CAUTION: Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle. 2. Connect the StarSCAN(R).
CAUTION: If the ECM/PCM and SKREEM/WCM are replaced at the same time, the ECM/PCM
MUST be programmed before the
SKREEM/WCM.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Accessories and Optional Equipment > Keyless
Entry Module > Component Information > Locations > Page 37
3. Select "ECU View". 4. Select "WCM Wireless Control Module". 5. Select "Miscellaneous
Functions". 6. Select WCM replaced. 7. Enter the PIN when prompted. 8. Verify the correct
information.
NOTE: If the ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time, all vehicle keys will need to be
replaced and programmed to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE/WCM menu item.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly,
programming new keys will be necessary.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret
Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
PROGRAMMING NOT ATTEMPTED - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status
and there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- PROGRAMMING KEY FAILED (POSSIBLE USED KEY FROM WRONG VEHICLE) - SKREEM is
unable to program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is ineffective.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.
- 8 KEYS ALREADY LEARNED, PROGRAMMING NOT DONE - The SKREEM transponder ID
memory is full.
- LEARNED KEY IN IGNITION - The ID for the ignition key transponder currently in the ignition lock
cylinder is already programmed into SKREEM memory.

Parking Assist Control Module: Description and Operation Park Assist Module - Operation
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the park assist module contains the park assist system logic circuits. The
module uses On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can communicate with other electronic modules in
the vehicle as well as with the diagnostic scan tool using the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus. This method of communication is also used for park assist system diagnosis and testing
through the 16-way data link connector located on the driver side lower edge of the instrument
panel.
The module provides voltage to the four park assist sensors located behind the rear bumper fascia
and to the park assist display located in the headliner just forward of the liftgate opening header.
The module then monitors return inputs from each of the sensors and the display on dedicated
hard wired data communication circuits. The sensor inputs allow the module to determine when an
obstacle is in the rear path of the vehicle and enables the module to calculate the relative location
of the obstacle, and whether the distance to that obstacle is increasing or decreasing.
Pre-programmed decision algorithms and calibrations allow the module microprocessor to
determine the appropriate park assist system outputs based upon the inputs received from the park
assist sensors and electronic messages received from other modules in the vehicle over the CAN
data bus. When the programmed conditions are met the module sends electronic messages to the
park assist displays over a dedicated serial bus to obtain the proper park assist system visual and
audible outputs. The module also broadcasts electronic messages over the CAN data bus to
enable the other electronic features of the park assist system.
The park assist module microprocessor continuously monitors all of the park assist system
electrical circuits and components to determine the system readiness. If the module detects a
monitored system fault, it sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and sends the appropriate
electronic messages to the instrument cluster over the CAN data bus to control operation of certain
park assist system audible warnings and textual messages displayed in the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC).
The park assist module receives battery current on a fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit
through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB). The module receives ground through a ground circuit and
take out of the body wire harness. These connections allow the module to be operational whenever
the ignition switch is in the START or ON positions.
The hard wired circuits between components related to the park assist module may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. 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.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the park
assist module or the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices that

DESCRIPTION
There are two Door Modules, Driver Door Module (DDM) and Passenger Door Modules (PDM).
One located in the driver door and one in the passenger door, just behind the door trim panel. The
modules send a bus message to the power mirrors to adjust them to a preset position when a
memory recall request has been made.
The memory mirror modules also act as an interface in each door for electrical functions (door lock
switches and door ajar switches).
The Memory System makes available for immediate recall personalized preferences of the
following:
- Automatic temperature control settings.
- Outside mirror positions.
- Power adjustable brake and accelerator pedal position.
- Power seat horizontal, vertical, recliner, and easy entry positions.
- Radio push button station selections.
The major components of the Memory System are:
- Memory Selector Switch - located in the driver door trim panel.
- Driver Door Module (DDM) - located in the driver door, behind the trim panel.
- Passenger Door Module (PDM) - located in the passenger door, behind the trim panel.
- Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM) - located at ignition key cylinder.
- Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter - located with ignition key.
- Memory Seat Module (MSM) - located underneath the driver seat and also controls the Adjustable
Pedals.
- Radio - located in the instrument panel center stack.
- Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) - located in the instrument panel center stack.
The memory recall is available at the press of a button on the drivers door trim panel or, by using
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter if it is programmed to trigger the recall.
Radio settings include up to 20 push button presets (10 AM and 10 FM), and the last station
selection, even if it is not one of the 20 preset selections.

Door Module: Description and Operation Door Module - Operation
OPERATION
The door modules receives input from the door lock switches and sends that message to the
cluster for door lock operation (vehicles equipped with memory system only). It also controls the
mirror adjustment by receiving input from the mirror switch on the door trim panel. Sensors in the
mirrors act as inputs to the memory mirror module in order to position the mirrors to presets by the
driver(s). The power supply to the mirrors is supplied by the door modules. On vehicles equipped
with a memory system, the front door ajar switches are inputs to the door module. The modules
use this information for door lock inhibit etc.
A memory setting is saved by pressing the "set" button, then pressing either the memory "1" or "2"
button within 5 seconds of pressing the "set" button.
A memory setting is recalled by pressing either the memory "1" or "2" button, or by pressing the
unlock button on a "linked" Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
For driver safety, memorized settings can not be recalled if the transmission is in a position other
than Park or the seat belt is latched.
Both driver and passenger modules provide active and stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) to
aid in diagnosis.
Both modules are identical in appearance with the exception of an extra ground wire on the driver
side memory mirror module.

Keyless Entry Module: Testing and Inspection
SKREEM PROGRAMMING
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a gasoline engine, or an Engine Control Module
(ECM) for a diesel engine and the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as the
Wireless Control Module/WCM) on vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
NOTE: If the PCM and the SKREEM are replaced at the same time, program the PCM VIN into the
PCM first.
1. If applicable first replace the PCM/ECM with the original WCM still connected to the vehicle. 2.
Using the appropriate service information program the new PCM/ECM. (This will ensure the Secret
Key Transfer from the original WCM into the
new PCM/ECM).
3. Now replace and program the WCM. This will retain the Secret Key from the PCM/ECM back
into the new WCM. 4. With the scan tool, select Miscellaneous Functions, WCM/Wireless Control
Module. Then select the desired procedure and follow the display on
the scan tool.
5. If the vehicle is equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System program the Placard Pressure
Values into the WCM/SKREEM. 6. Ensure all the customer's keys have been programmed into the
new module if necessary.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly,
programming new keys will be necessary.
PROGRAMMING THE SKREEM
The SKIS Secret Key is an ID code that is unique to each SKREEM/WCM. This code is
programmed and stored in the SKREEM/WCM, the PCM/ECM, and each ignition key transponder
chip. When the PCM/ECM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret
Key into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in
the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED, ECM REPLACED, WCM REPLACED, or
GATEWAY REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL
MODULE/WCM menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Programming the PCM/ECM or SKREEM is done using a diagnostic scan tool and a PIN to
enter secure access mode. If three
attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an incorrect PIN, secure access mode will
be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn the ignition to the RUN position for one
hour then enter the correct PIN. Be certain that all accessories are turned OFF. Also monitor the
battery state and connect a battery charger if necessary.
NOTE: Before replacing the ECU 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 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.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When a ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM 3. Replace all ignition keys and program them
to the new SKIM.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When an ECM (Bosch) and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in
order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM (Bosch) 3. Replace all ignition keys and
program them to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING THE SKIM
CAUTION: Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle. 2. Connect the StarSCAN(R).
CAUTION: If the ECM/PCM and SKREEM/WCM are replaced at the same time, the ECM/PCM
MUST be programmed before the
SKREEM/WCM.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Body and Frame > Keyless Entry Module >
Component Information > Locations > Page 79
3. Select "ECU View". 4. Select "WCM Wireless Control Module". 5. Select "Miscellaneous
Functions". 6. Select WCM replaced. 7. Enter the PIN when prompted. 8. Verify the correct
information.
NOTE: If the ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time, all vehicle keys will need to be
replaced and programmed to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE/WCM menu item.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly,
programming new keys will be necessary.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret
Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
PROGRAMMING NOT ATTEMPTED - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status
and there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- PROGRAMMING KEY FAILED (POSSIBLE USED KEY FROM WRONG VEHICLE) - SKREEM is
unable to program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is ineffective.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.
- 8 KEYS ALREADY LEARNED, PROGRAMMING NOT DONE - The SKREEM transponder ID
memory is full.
- LEARNED KEY IN IGNITION - The ID for the ignition key transponder currently in the ignition lock
cylinder is already programmed into SKREEM memory.

DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The scan tool standardization process must be performed on the Memory Seat Module
(MSM) any time a new module is installed or
the existing module is reflashed.
The Memory Seat Module (MSM) is located underneath the driver seat, towards the front and on
the outboard side. It is used in conjunction with the other modules in the memory system See:
Memory Seat Module - Operation to recall the seat to one of two preset seat functional adjustments
(horizontal, vertical, and recliner). The switch for the memory seat programming and selection
mounts on the driver door trim panel. The MSM also controls the adjustable pedals, both for the
memory and manual functionality. The adjustable accelerator and brake pedals are available on
SLT and Limited models. On Limited, their positioning can be stored for recall by the memory
system, allowing for two drivers to have unique, pre-programmed settings.

Memory Positioning Module: Description and Operation Memory Seat Module - Operation
OPERATION
POWER/MEMORY SEAT
The memory seat module receives input from the 8-way power seat switch, the driver seat position
sensors, adjustable pedal control circuits (switch, sensor, and motor), and the data bus circuit. The
memory switch, is wired to the memory mirror module which sends the message over the data bus.
The memory seat module performs the following functions:
- Positions the driver seat (vertical, horizontal, and recliner positions) and adjustable pedals.
- Sends the memory save or recall (#1 or #2) command over the data bus circuit to the memory
mirror modules, HVAC, and radio.
- Provides for "linking" the key FOBs to memory.
- Provides for the easy entry/exit feature.
- Provides the tilt mirrors in reverse feature
When a memory button is pressed (#1 or #2) on the memory switch, the driver door memory mirror
module sends a recall message to the memory seat module (MSM). Then the MSM will position the
driver seat and adjustable pedals to its preprogrammed location/setting. When the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) Transmitter button is pressed, depending on which transmitter (#1 or #2), the
SKREEM (RKE Receiver) sends the recall request and FOB number (#1 or #2) data message. This
RKE transmitter function depends on if the MSM is programmed to trigger the recall (linked FOBs).
A memory setting is saved by pressing the "set" button, then pressing either the memory "1" or "2"
button within 5 seconds of pressing the "set" button.
A memory setting is recalled by pressing either the memory "1" or "2" button, or by pressing the
unlock button on a "linked" Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
For driver safety, memorized settings can not be recalled if the transmission is in any position other
than park or the seat belt is latched.
A key FOB is "linked" to a memory setting by pressing the "set" button and then pressing either the
memory "1" or "2" button within 5 seconds of pressing the set button, then by pressing the "lock"
button on the selected key FOB.
The memory system "Easy Entry and /Exit" feature provides the driver with more room to enter or
exit the vehicle. The Easy Entry and Exit feature is disabled when the vehicle leaves the factory. An
authorized dealer can enable this feature. When the seat is in a memorized position, it will move
rearward 55 millimeters or to the end of its travel, whichever occurs first, when the key is removed
from the ignition switch lock cylinder. The seat will return to the memory position when the driver
turns the vehicle's ignition switch out of the LOCK position.
The memory system "learns" the seat and adjustable pedal motor maximum end positions when
the motor reaches the limit of travel in any direction and stalls. Subsequently, movement will stop
just short of that position to avoid extra stress on the motors and mechanisms. If the system
learned a maximum position as a result of an obstruction, as for instance if a large object was
placed on the floor behind the seat, the system can relearn the "true" maximum position through
manually operating the power seat after the obstruction is removed.
NOTE: It is normal for the power accessories contained in the memory system to stop at the
maximum "learned" position and then continue
to the "true" maximum position when the control switch is released and then applied in the same
direction a second time.
Certain functions and features of the memory system rely upon resources shared with other
electronic modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. The CAN bus 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. For
diagnosis of these electronic modules or of the CAN bus, the use of a scan tool and the proper
diagnostic information are needed.
The tilt mirrors in reverse feature provides for tilting the sideview (outside) mirrors down a
predetermined angle, providing a better view of the ground next to the rear portion of the vehicle.
The tilt mirrors in reverse feature is disabled when the vehicle leaves the factory. An authorized
dealer can enable this feature. Operation of the tilt mirrors is as follows:
- Sideview mirrors will tilt down when the vehicle transmission is shifted into Reverse.
- Sideview mirrors will return to the original position when the vehicle transmission is shifted out of
Reverse.
ADJUSTABLE PEDALS
The pedals swing on a large arc, the radius and angle of which were selected on the basis of
ergonomic studies, that puts them in the proper position for use by the smaller driver - higher and
angled upward as well as rearward. Powered by the small electric motor driving a gear train at
each pedal, adjustment is precise, quiet, and smooth throughout the range. A paddle-type switch
on the instrument panel to the left of the steering column actuates the electric motor-driven
mechanism through the memory seat module (MSM). Pushing up the paddle brings the pedals
closer and vice versa. Movement

stops when the switch is released. MSM logic prevents pedal adjustment when the automatic
speed control (cruise control) is set (controlling speed), and when the transmission is in reverse.
This feature protects against a loss of reference position when neither foot is on the pedal.

Power Trunk / Liftgate Control Module: Description and Operation Power Liftgate Control Module Operation
OPERATION
The power liftgate control module contains the electronic circuitry and software used to control the
sequence of events for the power liftgate system. This module communicates on the Controller
Area Network (CAN) to monitor many different inputs and outputs such as door lock status,
transmission gear selector position and vehicle speed.
The power liftgate open/close command can be initiated by either one press of the power liftgate
overhead console switch or two presses of the key fob power liftgate switch. The overhead switch
is hardwired to the power liftgate control module. The key fob, sends a signal out on the Controller
Area Network (CAN) Data Bus circuit. This signal is detected at the Power Liftgate Control Module.
The power liftgate control module then interprets the information to confirm safety requirements are
met before applying power to the power liftgate drive unit to start a power cycle.
During a power liftgate open or close cycle, if the power liftgate control module detects sufficient
resistance to liftgate travel, such as an obstruction in the liftgate's path. The control module will
immediately stop liftgate movement and reverse the direction of travel to the full open or closed
position.
The power liftgate control module has the ability to relearn. After 8 miles have been recorded on
the odometer, anytime the liftgate is fully opened and fully closed using the automatic system, the
module will learn from its cycle. If a replacement power liftgate component is installed or a liftgate
adjustment is made, the module will relearn the effort and time required to open or close the
liftgate. This learn cycle can be performed with a Diagnostic Scan Tool or with a complete cycle of
the liftgate, using either one of the command switches. See: Body and Frame/Doors, Hood and
Trunk/Trunk / Liftgate/Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning for detailed
instructions.

Trailer Towing Relay: Description and Operation Trailer Tow Relay - Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with an optional factory-installed trailer towing package have two trailer tow
relays, one for the trailer right turn and brake lamps and the other for the trailer left turn and brake
lamps. The trailer tow relays are conventional International Standards Organization (ISO) micro
relays. Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical dimensions, current
capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal functions. Each relay is contained within a small,
rectangular, molded plastic housing and is connected to all of the required inputs and outputs
through five integral male spade-type terminals that extend from the relay base plate.
The trailer tow relays are located in the Integrated Power Module (IPM) in the engine compartment
near the battery. Refer to the layout label on the underside of the IPM cover for specific relay cavity
assignment information.
A trailer tow relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the unit must be
replaced.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Trailer Tow Relay - Description > Page 137
Trailer Towing Relay: Description and Operation Trailer Tow Relay - Operation
OPERATION
The trailer tow relays are electromechanical switches that use a low current input from the Front
Control Module (FCM) (also referred to as the Integrated Power Module/IPM) to control a high
current output to trailer brake and turn signal lamps. Within each relay are an electromagnetic coil,
a movable contact and two fixed contact points. A resistor is connected in parallel with the coil, and
helps to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be generated as the
field of the relay coil collapses.
The movable common supply 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 field draws the movable contact away from the normally closed contact, and
holds it against the normally open contact. When the relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure
returns the movable contact back against the normally closed contact.
The inputs and outputs of the trailer tow relays include:
- Common Supply Terminal (30) - The common feed terminal is connected to a fused B(+) circuit at
all times.
- Coil Ground Terminal (85) - The coil ground terminal is connected to a fused B(+) circuit at all
times.
- Coil Battery Terminal (86) - The coil battery terminal is connected to a control output of the FCM
through a right or left trailer tow turn relay control circuit. The FCM controls trailer brake and turn
lamp operation by controlling a ground path through this circuit.
- Normally Open Terminal (87) - The normally open terminal is connected to the trailer lamps
through a right or left trailer tow turn relay output circuit and provides battery voltage to the right or
left trailer brake and turn lamps whenever the relay is energized.
- Normally Closed Terminal (87A) - The normally closed terminal is not connected to any circuit in
this application, but will have battery voltage present whenever the relay is de-energized.
The trailer tow relays as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the relays may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

OPERATION
The ISO-standard front blower motor relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current
input from the battery to control the high current output to the front blower motor. The movable,
common feed relay contact is held against the fixed, normally closed relay contact by spring
pressure. When the electromagnetic relay coil is energized, it draws the movable common feed
relay contact away from the fixed, normally closed relay contact and, holds it against the fixed,
normally open relay contact. This action allows high current to flow to the front blower motor.
When the relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns the movable relay contact back
against the fixed, normally closed contact point. The resistor or diode is connected in parallel with
the relay coil, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be
generated as the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The front blower motor relay terminals are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
receptacle in the power distribution center (PDC). The inputs and outputs of the front blower motor
relay include:
- The common feed terminal (30) receives battery current through a fuse in the PDC at all times.
- The coil ground terminal (85) receives a ground circuit through the integrated power module.
- The coil battery terminal (86) receives battery current through a fuse in the PDC at all times.
- The normally open terminal (87) provides battery current output to the front blower motor when
equipped with the manual temperature control (MTC) system, or the blower motor power module
when equipped with the automatic temperature control (ATC) system only when the front 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 front blower motor relay coil is de-energized.
The front blower motor relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or
damaged. See Wiring Information for diagnosis and testing of the blower motor relay and for
complete HVAC wiring diagrams.

OPERATION
The ISO-standard rear blower motor relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current
input from the ignition switch to control the high current output to the rear blower motor. The
movable, common feed relay contact is held against the fixed, normally closed relay contact by
spring pressure. When the electromagnetic relay coil is energized, it draws the movable common
feed relay contact away from the fixed, normally closed relay contact and, holds it against the fixed,
normally open relay contact. This action allows high current to flow to the rear blower motor.
When the relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns the movable relay contact back
against the fixed, normally closed contact point. The resistor or diode is connected in parallel with
the relay coil, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be
generated as the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The rear blower motor relay terminals are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
receptacle in the junction block (JB). The inputs and outputs of the rear blower motor relay include:
- The common feed terminal (30) receives fused battery current at all times.
- The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to a ground at all times.
- The coil battery terminal (86) receives battery current from a fuse in the junction block (JB)
through an ignition switch output (run) circuit only when the ignition switch is in RUN.
- The normally open terminal (87) provides battery current output to the rear blower motor through
the rear blower motor relay output circuit only when the rear 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 rear blower motor relay coil is de-energized.
The rear blower motor relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or
damaged. See Wiring Information for diagnosis and testing of the rear blower motor relay and for
complete HVAC wiring diagrams.

Compressor Clutch Relay: Description and Operation A/C Clutch Relay - Operation
OPERATION
The ISO-standard A/C clutch micro-relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current
input controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM) to control the high current output to the
A/C clutch field coil. The movable, common feed relay contact is held against the fixed, normally
closed relay contact by spring pressure. When the electromagnetic relay coil is energized, it draws
the movable common feed relay contact away from the fixed, normally closed relay contact and,
holds it against the fixed, normally open relay contact. This action allows high current to flow to the
A/C clutch field coil.
When the relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns the movable relay contact back
against the fixed, normally closed contact point. The resistor or diode is connected in parallel with
the relay coil, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be
generated as the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The A/C clutch relay terminals are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a receptacle
in the power distribution center (PDC). The inputs and outputs of the A/C clutch relay include:
- The common feed terminal (30) receives fused battery current at all times.
- The coil ground terminal (85) receives a ground input from the PCM through the A/C clutch relay
control circuit only when the PCM electronically pulls the control circuit to ground.
- The coil battery terminal (86) receives fused battery current through a 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 A/C clutch coil through
the A/C 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
a battery current output only when the A/C clutch relay coil is de-energized.
The A/C clutch relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or
damaged. See Wiring Information for diagnosis and testing of the A/C clutch relay and for complete
HVAC wiring diagrams.

DESCRIPTION
A blower motor power module is used on this model when it is equipped with the automatic
temperature control (ATC) heating-A/C system. Models equipped with the manual temperature
control (MTC) heating-A/C system use a blower motor resistor block, instead of the blower motor
power module .
The blower motor power module is mounted to the rear of the HVAC housing, directly behind the
glove box. The blower motor power module consists of a molded plastic mounting plate with two
integral connector receptacles (1). Concealed behind the mounting plate is the power module
electronic circuitry and a large finned heat sink (2). The blower motor power module is accessed for
service from beneath the right side of the instrument panel.

Control Module HVAC: Description and Operation Front Blower Motor Power Module - Operation
OPERATION
The blower motor power module is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
lead and connector of the HVAC wire harness. A second connector receptacle receives the wire
harness connector from the blower motor. The blower motor power module allows the
microprocessor-based Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) A/C-heater control 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 that compares the PWM signal voltage to the
blower motor feedback voltage. The resulting output drives the power module circuitry, which
provides a linear output voltage to change or maintain the desired blower speed.
The blower motor power module is diagnosed using a scan tool See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Tests and Associated Procedures.
The blower motor power module cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if
inoperative or damaged.

Brake Lamp Relay: Description and Operation Stop Lamp Inhibit Relay - Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with an optional Electronic Stability Program (ESP)/Traction Control System
(TCS) package have a stop lamp inhibit relay. The relay is contained within a small, rectangular,
molded plastic housing and is connected to all of the required inputs and outputs through four
integral male spade-type terminals that extend from the relay base plate.
The stop lamp inhibit relay is located in the Junction Block (JB) in the passenger compartment on
the driver side cowl side inner panel below the end of the instrument panel.
The stop lamp inhibit relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the unit
must be replaced.

Brake Lamp Relay: Description and Operation Stop Lamp Inhibit Relay - Operation
OPERATION
The stop lamp inhibit relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current input from the
Controller Antilock Brake (CAB) to interrupt a high current output from the brake lamp switch to the
brake lamps. Within the relay is an electromagnetic coil, a movable contact and two fixed contact
points. A resistor is connected in parallel with the coil, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and
electromagnetic interference that can be generated as the field of the relay coil collapses.
The movable common supply 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 field draws the movable contact away from the normally closed contact, and
holds it against the normally open contact. When the relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure
returns the movable contact back against the normally closed contact.
The inputs and outputs of the stop lamp inhibit relay include:
- Common Supply Terminal (30) - The common feed terminal is connected to the output of the

Fog/Driving Lamp Relay: Description and Operation Front Fog Lamp Relay - Description
DESCRIPTION
The front fog lamp relay is a conventional International Standards Organization (ISO) micro relay.
Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical dimensions, current capacities,
terminal patterns, and terminal functions. This relay is contained within a small, rectangular,
molded plastic housing and is connected to all of the required inputs and outputs through five
integral male spade-type terminals that extend from the relay base plate.
The front fog lamp relay is located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) in the engine
compartment near the battery. Refer to the layout label on the underside of the PDC cover for
specific relay cavity assignment information.
The front fog lamp relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the unit
must be replaced.

Fog/Driving Lamp Relay: Description and Operation Front Fog Lamp Relay - Operation
OPERATION
The front fog lamp relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current input from the Front
Control Module (FCM) (also referred to as the Integrated Power Module/IPM) to control a high
current output to the front fog lamps. Within the relay are an electromagnetic coil, a movable
contact and two fixed contact points. A resistor is connected in parallel with the coil, and helps to
dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be generated as the field of the
relay coil collapses.
The movable common supply 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 field draws the movable contact away from the normally closed contact, and
holds it against the normally open contact. When the relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure
returns the movable contact back against the normally closed contact.
The inputs and outputs of the front fog lamp relay include:
- Common Supply Terminal (30) - The common feed terminal is connected to a fused B(+) circuit at
all times.
- Coil Ground Terminal (85) - The coil ground terminal is connected to a fused B(+) circuit at all
times.
- Coil Battery Terminal (86) - The coil battery terminal is connected to a control output of the FCM
through a fog lamp relay control circuit. The FCM controls front fog lamp operation by controlling a
ground path through this circuit.
- Normally Open Terminal (87) - The normally open terminal is connected to the front fog lamps
through a fog lamp relay output circuit and provides battery voltage to the front fog lamps whenever
the relay is energized.
- Normally Closed Terminal (87A) - The normally closed terminal is not connected to any circuit in
this application, but will have battery voltage present whenever the relay is de-energized.
The front fog lamp relay as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the relay may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Relay Box: Description and Operation Junction Block - Description
DESCRIPTION
An electrical Junction Block (JB) (1) is concealed behind the left outboard end of the instrument
panel cover. The JB combines the functions previously provided by a separate fuseblock module
and relay center, serves to simplify and centralize numerous electrical components, and to
distribute electrical current to many of the accessory systems in the vehicle. It also eliminates the
need for numerous splice connections and serves in place of a bulkhead connector between many
of the engine compartment, instrument panel, and body wire harnesses.
The molded plastic JB housing has integral mounting brackets that are secured with two screws to
the left instrument panel end bracket. The left end of the instrument panel cover has a snap-fit fuse
access panel that can be removed for service of the JB. A fuse puller and spare fuse holders are
located on the back of the fuse access cover, as well as a fuse layout to help ensure proper fuse
identification.
The JB unit cannot be repaired and is only serviced as an assembly. If any internal circuit or the JB
housing is faulty or damaged, the entire JB unit must be replaced.

DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the optional Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system have a Hybrid Gateway
Module (HGM) (1) that is secured with three screws to the stamped steel Transmission Auxiliary Oil
Pump (TAOP) control module mounting bracket located on the left hydro form (frame rail) near the
back of the left front wheel housing within the engine compartment of the vehicle. Concealed within
a hollow in the center of the die cast aluminum HGM housing is the electronic circuitry of the HGM,
which includes a microprocessor and an electronic printed circuit board. A stamped metal cover
plate (2) is sealed and secured to the HGM housing with four screws to enclose and protect the
internal electronic circuitry and components.
Two molded plastic electrical connectors (3), one containing 24 terminal pins and the other
containing 12 terminal pins, exit the forward facing side of the HGM cover plate and are pointed
downward. These terminal pins connect the HGM to the vehicle electrical system through two
dedicated take outs and connectors of the headlamp and dash wire harness. The HGM housing
has integral mounting flanges on two sides with three mounting holes in each flange. The mounting
flange to the left of the connector receptacles is secured to the TAOP control module mounting
bracket with two screws, while the flange on the right side is secured to the bracket with only one
screw.
The HGM cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if damaged or ineffective, it must be replaced.

DESCRIPTION
The Front Control Module (FCM) is a micro controller based module located in the left front corner
of the engine compartment. The front control module mates to the power distribution center to form
the Integrated Power Module (IPM). The IPM connects directly to the battery and provides the
primary means of circuit protection and power distribution for all vehicle electrical systems. The
front control module controls power to some of these vehicle systems electrical and
electromechanical loads based on inputs received from hard wired switch inputs and data received
on the CAN bus circuit.

Module - Description > Page 353
Body Control Module: Description and Operation Front Control Module - Operation
OPERATION
As messages are sent over the CAN bus circuit, the Front Control Module (FCM) reads these
messages and controls power to some of the vehicles electrical systems by completing the circuit
to ground (low side driver) or completing the circuit to 12 volt power (high side driver). The following
functions are controlled by the FCM:
- Front turn signals
- Stop, turn signal and tail lamps
- Front and rear hazard warning lamps
- Headlamps
- Fog Lamps
- Daytime running lamps - if equipped
- Horn
- Windshield and liftgate wiper and washer systems
- Transfer case shifting
- Trailer tow wiring output
- Rear window defroster power and timing
- Air conditioning condenser cooling fan
The FCM provides the following features for the above function:
- It provides a illuminated approach feature that turns the headlamps on when the vehicle is
unlocked with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
- It flashes lamps in response to turn signal, RKE and Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS)
inputs.
- It sounds the horn in response to RKE and VTSS inputs.
- It turns off the horn in the event of excessively long operation that could otherwise damage the
horn.
- It turns off the windshield washer motor after 10 seconds of continuous operation to protect the
motor.
- It minimizes voltage variations to the headlamps to extend bulb life and to equalize the light output
from the lamps, which might otherwise differ due to variations in wiring resistance.
- If the headlamps are left on, it automatically turns them off after eight minutes to protect the
battery from discharge.It monitors battery voltage and turns off non-essential functions such as the
fog lamps, rear window defogger, and heated seats if necessary to conserve battery power.
- It operates the high-beam headlamps at reduced intensity by pulse-width modulation of the power
supply to provide the daytime running lamps.
- It provides the variable delay intermittent windshield and liftgate wiper time delay features, and
the vehicle speed sensitive windshield wiper delay variation.
- It acts as a link between the CAN bus network for critical powertrain and anti-lock brake systems
and the network for body and interior modules.

Body Control Module: Description and Operation Gateway Module - Operation
OPERATION
The Hybrid Gateway Module (HGM) provides a communication interface between the electronic
control modules (nodes) in the vehicle, as well as with the diagnostic scan tool connected to the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus system and the nodes connected to the Hybrid Local Area
Network (H-LAN) data bus system. The HGM is the central gateway that processes and transfers
messages between the different bus systems. In addition, the HGM is Local Interface Network
(LIN) bus compatible. It receives a direct input over the LIN bus from a humidity sensor secured to
the inside rear view mirror mount on the inside of the windshield glass, which it then transmits over
the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
The microprocessor-based HGM also provides input and output circuitry that responds to both
digital and analog inputs and provides electronically controlled higher current load outputs through
lower current relay drivers. The HGM uses On-Board Diagnostics (OBD). If the HGM detects a
monitored system fault, it sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) that can be retrieved with a
diagnostic scan tool through the 16-way data link connector located on the driver side lower edge
of the instrument panel. The HGM connects directly to a fused battery current input and to ground,
so that it remains capable of operating, regardless of the ignition switch position.
The hardwired inputs and outputs for the HGM may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic
tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. However, conventional
diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the HGM, the electronic controls or
communication between other modules and devices that provide features of the Hybrid Electric
Vehicle (HEV) control system. The most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose the
HGM, the electronic controls and communication related to HGM operation, requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Procedure
WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE (WCM) PRE-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
Before attempting to repair any theft or security system, technicians should be familiar with and
fully understand the system operation. See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Antitheft and
Alarm Systems/Description and Operation/Vehicle Theft Security System - Description. The
following should be used as a checklist to be completed in its entirety prior to referencing specific
Theft and Security Diagnostic Procedures.
FOLLOW THE BASIC OUTLINE IN THE SIX-STEP TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE
- Verification of complaint
- Verification of any related symptoms
- Symptom analysis
- Problem isolation
- Repair of isolated problem
- Verification of proper operation
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT CURRENT VEHICLE CONDITION, REPAIR HISTORY, AND TECHNICAL
SERVICE BULLETINS (TSBs)
- Verify there are no outward signs of vehicle damage that could impact the proper operation of the
theft or security system. Check for aftermarket vehicle accessories that may have been installed
improperly or could interfere with the system
- Check the vehicle repair history for repairs that may relate to the current condition.
- Perform a check of current Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) for the system related to the
customer concern. If a TSB applies, follow the procedure outlined in the TSB.
DIAGNOSE ONLY THOSE FAILURES THAT ARE ACTIVE AND CAN BE REPRODUCED
- Check the control module central to the subsystem that is exhibiting the condition for active
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
- For an intermittent failure that is not current at the time of vehicle inspection, refer to the
WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE INTERMITTENT TEST See: Wireless Control Module (WCM)
Intermittent Condition Test and document the event on the repair order.
ADDRESS ACTIVE DTCS IN THE CORRECT ORDER
- Low/High Voltage and Serial Data Loss of Communication Codes
- Module Internal Failure and Configuration Mismatch Codes
- Circuit specific DTC failures
As a general rule, for any theft/security system control module that exhibits more than one active
DTC, address the codes in the order indicated; should the malfunction still be present after
conducting this Pre-diagnostic Procedure, technicians should continue to the appropriate DTC
procedure or symptom diagnostic.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Powertrain Control Module - Description
PCM
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The PCM (2) is attached to the right-front inner fender (1) located in the engine compartment.
Modes of Operation
MODES OF OPERATION
As input signals to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) change, the PCM adjusts its response to
the output devices.
The PCM will operate in two different modes: Open Loop and Closed Loop.
During Open Loop modes, the PCM receives input signals and responds only according to preset
PCM programming. Input from the oxygen (O2S) sensors is not monitored during Open Loop
modes.
During Closed Loop modes, the PCM will monitor the oxygen (O2S) sensors input. This input
indicates to the PCM whether or not the calculated injector pulse width results in the ideal air-fuel
ratio. This ratio is 14.7 parts air-to-1 part fuel. By monitoring the exhaust oxygen content through
the O2S sensor, the PCM can fine tune the injector pulse width. This is done to achieve optimum
fuel economy combined with low emission engine performance.
The fuel injection system has the following modes of operation:
- Ignition switch ON
- Engine start-up (crank)
- Engine warm-up
- Idle
- Cruise
- Acceleration
- Deceleration
- Wide open throttle (WOT)
- Ignition switch OFF
The ignition switch On, engine start-up (crank), engine warm-up, acceleration, deceleration and
wide open throttle modes are Open Loop modes. The idle and cruise modes, (with the engine at
operating temperature) are Closed Loop modes.
IGNITION SWITCH (KEY-ON) MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. When the fuel system is activated by the ignition switch, the following
actions occur:
- The PCM pre-positions the idle air control (IAC) motor.

Powertrain Control Module - Description > Page 379
- The PCM determines atmospheric air pressure from the MAP sensor input to determine basic fuel
strategy.
- The PCM monitors the engine coolant temperature sensor input. The PCM modifies fuel strategy
based on this input.
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor input is monitored.
- Throttle position sensor (TPS) is monitored.
- The auto shutdown (ASD) relay is energized by the PCM for approximately three seconds.
- The fuel pump is energized through the fuel pump relay by the PCM. The fuel pump will operate
for approximately three seconds unless the engine is operating or the starter motor is engaged.
- The O2S sensor heater element is energized via the ASD relay. The O2S sensor input is not used
by the PCM to calibrate air-fuel ratio during this mode of operation.
ENGINE START-UP MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The following actions occur when the starter motor is engaged.
The PCM receives inputs from:
- Battery voltage

- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Starter motor relay
- Camshaft position sensor signal
The PCM monitors the crankshaft position sensor. If the PCM does not receive a crankshaft
position sensor signal within 3 seconds of cranking the engine, it will shut down the fuel injection
system.
The fuel pump is activated by the PCM through the fuel pump relay.
Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off.
The PCM determines the proper ignition timing according to input received from the crankshaft
position sensor.
ENGINE WARM-UP MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. During engine warm-up, the PCM receives inputs from:

- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
Based on these inputs the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off.
- The PCM adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor and adjusts ignition
timing.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This is done if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
- When engine has reached operating temperature, the PCM will begin monitoring O2S sensor
input. The system will then leave the warm-up mode and go into closed loop operation.
IDLE MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is a Closed Loop mode. At idle speed, the PCM
receives inputs from:
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)

Based on these inputs, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then adjust
the injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual injector on and off.
- The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and adjusts air-fuel ratio. It also adjusts engine idle
speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil on and off.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This happens if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
ACCELERATION MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The PCM recognizes an abrupt increase in throttle position or MAP
pressure as a demand for increased engine output and vehicle acceleration. The PCM increases
injector pulse width in response to increased throttle opening.
DECELERATION MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is an Open Loop mode. During hard
deceleration, the PCM receives the following inputs.
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)

Powertrain Control Module - Description > Page 381
If the vehicle is under hard deceleration with the proper rpm and closed throttle conditions, the
PCM will ignore the oxygen sensor input signal. The PCM will enter a fuel cut-off strategy in which
it will not supply a ground to the injectors. If a hard deceleration does not exist, the PCM will
determine the proper injector pulse width and continue injection.
Based on the above inputs, the PCM will adjust engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC)
motor.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil on and off.
WIDE OPEN THROTTLE MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. During wide open throttle operation, the PCM receives the following
inputs.
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
During wide open throttle conditions, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off. The PCM ignores the oxygen sensor input signal and provides a predetermined
amount of additional fuel. This is done by adjusting injector pulse width.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil on and off.
IGNITION SWITCH OFF MODE
When ignition switch is turned to OFF position, the PCM stops operating the injectors, ignition coil,
ASD relay and fuel pump relay.
5V Power Supplies
5 VOLT SUPPLIES
Two different Powertrain Control Module (PCM) five volt supply circuits are used; primary and
secondary.
Ignition Circuit Sense
IGNITION CIRCUIT SENSE
This circuit ties the ignition switch to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Battery voltage is
supplied to the PCM through the ignition switch when the ignition is in the Run or Start position.
This is referred to as the "ignition sense" circuit and is used to "wake up" the PCM.
Power Grounds
POWER GROUNDS
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has 2 main grounds. Both of these grounds are referred to
as power grounds. All of the high-current, noisy, electrical devices are connected to these grounds
as well as all of the sensor returns. The sensor return comes into the sensor return circuit, passes
through noise suppression, and is then connected to the power ground.
The power ground is used to control ground circuits for the following PCM loads:

air-fuel ratio, emission control devices, charging system, certain transmission features, speed
control, air conditioning compressor clutch engagement and idle speed. The PCM can adapt its
programming to meet changing operating conditions.
The PCM receives input signals from various switches and sensors. Based on these inputs, the
PCM regulates various engine and vehicle operations through different system components. These
components are referred to as Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Outputs. The sensors and
switches that provide inputs to the PCM are considered Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Inputs.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing based upon inputs it receives from sensors that react to: engine
rpm, manifold absolute pressure, engine coolant temperature, throttle position, transmission gear
selection (automatic transmission), vehicle speed and the brake switch.

LEARN A SMOOTH 1ST NEUTRAL TO DRIVE SHIFT
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Service and Repair > Procedures >
Page 390
Perform this procedure only if the complaint is for a delayed or harsh shift the first time the
transmission is put into gear after the vehicle is allowed to set with the engine not running for at
least 10 minutes. Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the 1st N-D UD CVI.
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be between 27-43° C (80-110° F).
1. Start the engine only when the engine and ignition have been off for at least ten (10) minutes. 2.
With the vehicle at a stop and the service brake applied, record the 1st N-D UD CVI while
performing a Neutral to Drive shift. The 1st N-D UD
CVI accounts for air entrapment in the UD clutch that may occur after the engine has been off for a
period of time.
3. Repeat 1 and 2 until the recorded 1st N-D UD CVI value stabilizes.
NOTE: It is important that this procedure be performed when the transmission temperature is
between 27-43° C (80-110° F). If this
procedure takes too long to complete fully for the allowed transmission oil temperature, the vehicle
may be returned to the customer with an explanation that the shift will improve daily during normal
vehicle usage. The TCM also learns at higher oil temperatures, but these values (line pressure
correction values) are not available for viewing on the scan tool.
LEARN A SMOOTH NEUTRAL TO DRIVE GARAGE SHIFT
Perform this procedure if the complaint is for a delayed or harsh shift when the transmission is put
into gear after the vehicle has had its first shift. Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the
Norm N-D UD CVI.
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be between 27-43° C (80-110° F) to learn the UD
CVI. Additional learning occurs at
temperatures as low as -18° C (0° F) and as high as 93° C (200° F). This procedure may be
performed at any temperature that experiences poor shift quality. Although the UD CVI may not
change, shift quality should improve.
1. Start the vehicle engine and shift to drive. 2. Move the vehicle forward to a speed of at least 16
km/h (10 MPH) and come to a stop. This ensures no air is present in the UD hydraulic circuit. 3.
Perform repeated N-D shifts at a stop while pausing in Neutral for at least 2-3 seconds and monitor
Norm N-D UD CVI volume until the value
stabilizes. The value will change during the N-D shift. This is normal since the UD value is different
for the N-D shift then the normal value shown which is used for 4-3 coastdown and kick downs.
Perform repeated shifts in this temperature range until the Norm N-D UD CVI value stabilizes and
the N-D shifts become smooth.
LEARN THE 1ST 2-3 SHIFT AFTER A RESTART OR SHIFT TO REVERSE
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the 1st 2-3 shift OD CVI.
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 27° C (80° F).
1. With the vehicle engine running, select reverse gear for over 2 seconds. 2. Shift the transmission
to Drive and accelerate the vehicle from a stop at a steady 15 degree throttle opening and perform
a 2-3 shift while noting
the 1st 2-3 OD CVI.
3. Repeat 1 and 2 until the 1st 2-3 upshift becomes smooth and the 1st 2-3 OD CVI stabilizes.
LEARN A SMOOTH 2-3 AND 3-4 UPSHIFT
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 43° C (110° F).
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the OD and 4C CVI's.
1. Accelerate the vehicle from a stop at a steady 15 degree throttle opening and perform multiple
1-2, 2-3, and 3-4 upshifts. The 2nd 2-3 shift
following a restart or shift to reverse will be shown during the shift as a value between the 1st 2-3
OD CVI and the normal OD CVI. Updates to the normal OD CVI will occur after the 2nd shift into
3rd gear, following a restart or shift to reverse.
2. Repeat 1 until the 2-3 and 3-4 shifts become smooth and the OD and 4C CVI become stable.
LEARN A SMOOTH 4-3 COASTDOWN AND PART THROTTLE 4-3 KICKDOWN
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 43° C (110° F).
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the UD shift volume.
1. At a vehicle speed between 64-97 km/h (40-60 MPH), perform repeated 4-3 kickdown shifts. 2.
Repeat 1 until the UD volume becomes somewhat stable and the shift becomes smooth.
LEARN A SMOOTH 1-2 UPSHIFT AND 3-2 KICKDOWN
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the 2C shift volume.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Service and Repair > Procedures >
Page 391
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 43° C (110° F).
1. With a vehicle speed below 48 km/h (30 MPH) and the transmission in 3rd gear, perform multiple
3-2 kick downs. 2. Repeat 1 until the 3-2 kick downs become smooth and the 2C CVI becomes
stable.
LEARN A SMOOTH MANUAL 2-1 PULLDOWN SHIFT AS WELL AS A NEUTRAL TO REVERSE
SHIFT
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 43° C (110° F).
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the LR volume.
1. With the vehicle speed around 40-48 km/h (25-30 MPH) in Manual 2nd, perform manual
pulldowns to Low or 1st gear at closed throttle. 2. Repeat 1 until the LR CVI becomes stable and
the manual 2-1 becomes smooth.
LEARN A SMOOTH NEUTRAL TO REVERSE SHIFT
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 43° C (110° F).
1. With the vehicle at a stop, perform Neutral to Reverse shifts until the shift is smooth. An
unlearned Neutral to Reverse shift may be harsh or
exhibit a double bump.
2. If any of the shifts are still not smooth after the clutch volume stabilizes, an internal transmission
problem may be present.
LEARN A SMOOTH 4-5 UPSHIFT
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 43° C (110° F).
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the Alt 2C CVI.
1. Accelerate the vehicle through 88 km/h (55 mph) at a steady 10-15 degree throttle opening and
perform multiple 4-5 upshifts. 2. Repeat 1 until the 4-5 shift become smooth and the Alt 2C CVI
become stable. There is a separate 2C volume used and learned for 4-5 shifts,
2CA. It is independent of the 2C CVI learned on 3-2 kick downs.

1. StarMOBILE(R) Stand-alone Diagnostic Mode is an efficient way to flash ECUs without having
direct access to a network connection. It involves
first copying the flash file to the StarMOBILE(R) device which DOES require a network connection.
Once the file has been copied to the StarMOBILE(R) device, it can be used in a Stand-alone mode
to flash the ECU WITHOUT a network connection.
2. To use the StarMOBILE(R) in Pass-Through Mode requires that your StarMOBILE(R) is
connected to the dealerships network via a wired or
wireless connection. For more information on how to use the StarMOBILE in Pass-Through Mode
see the StarMOBILE(R) training tutorials available on 'Dealer CONNECT > Service > StarSCAN(R)
and StarMOBILE(R) Tools > Training Aids' link under the 'Training Aids' link.
3. StarMOBILE(R) does not need to be connected to a vehicle when retrieving a flash file for
Stand-alone Mode. 4. Extreme care must be taken when programming a calibration into a generic
PCM. Do not randomly select a calibration. Once a calibration is
selected and programmed, the controller cannot be reprogrammed to a different calibration. The
ECU can only be reprogrammed to a more recent version of that calibration.
5. If the flash process is interrupted or aborted, the flash should be restarted. 6. Due to the PCM /
TCM programming procedure, a DTC may be set in other ECUs within the vehicle. Some DTCs
may cause the MIL to
illuminate. From the "Home" screen select "System View". Then select "All DTCs". Press "Clear All
Stored DTCs" if there are any DTCs shown on the list.
7. When replacing a GPEC PCM for a vehicle that is equipped with a CVT, it is extremely important
that the PCM and TCM both have the latest
software calibrations.
8. Do not allow the battery charger to time out or the charging rate to climb above 13.5 volts during
the flash process. 9. The StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(R) diagnostic tools fully support Internet
connectivity and must be configured for your dealership's network.
For help on setting up your StarSCAN(R) / StarMOBILE(R) for the dealership's network, refer to the
StarSCAN(R) / StarMOBILE(R) Quick Start Networking Guide available on 'Dealer CONNECT >
Service > StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(R) Tools > Online Documentation' under the download
center.
10. The operating software in the StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(R) must be programmed with the
latest software release level. The software level
is visible in the blue header at the top of the StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(R) Desktop Client
screens. For instructions on how to update your scan tool, refer to the StarSCAN(R) /
StarMOBILE(R) Software Update guide available on 'Dealer CONNECT > Service > StarSCAN(R)

SKREEM Programming
SKREEM PROGRAMMING
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a gasoline engine, or an Engine Control Module
(ECM) for a diesel engine and the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as the
Wireless Control Module/WCM) on vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
NOTE: If the PCM and the SKREEM are replaced at the same time, program the PCM VIN into the
PCM first.
1. If applicable first replace the PCM/ECM with the original WCM still connected to the vehicle. 2.
Using the appropriate service information program the new PCM/ECM. (This will ensure the Secret
Key Transfer from the original WCM into the
new PCM/ECM).
3. Now replace and program the WCM. This will retain the Secret Key from the PCM/ECM back
into the new WCM. 4. With the scan tool, select Miscellaneous Functions, WCM/Wireless Control
Module. Then select the desired procedure and follow the display on
the scan tool.
5. If the vehicle is equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System program the Placard Pressure
Values into the WCM/SKREEM. 6. Ensure all the customer's keys have been programmed into the
new module if necessary.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly,
programming new keys will be necessary.
PROGRAMMING THE SKREEM
The SKIS Secret Key is an ID code that is unique to each SKREEM/WCM. This code is
programmed and stored in the SKREEM/WCM, the PCM/ECM, and each ignition key transponder
chip. When the PCM/ECM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret
Key into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in
the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED, ECM REPLACED, WCM REPLACED, or
GATEWAY REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL
MODULE/WCM menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Programming the PCM/ECM or SKREEM is done using a diagnostic scan tool and a PIN to
enter secure access mode. If three
attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an incorrect PIN, secure access mode will
be locked out for one hour. To exit this

Page 399
lockout mode, turn the ignition to the RUN position for one hour then enter the correct PIN. Be
certain that all accessories are turned OFF. Also monitor the battery state and connect a battery
charger if necessary.
NOTE: Before replacing the ECU 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 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.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When a ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM 3. Replace all ignition keys and program them
to the new SKIM.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When an ECM (Bosch) and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in
order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM (Bosch) 3. Replace all ignition keys and
program them to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING THE SKIM
CAUTION: Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle. 2. Connect the StarSCAN(R).
CAUTION: If the ECM/PCM and SKREEM/WCM are replaced at the same time, the ECM/PCM
MUST be programmed before the
SKREEM/WCM.
3. Select "ECU View". 4. Select "WCM Wireless Control Module". 5. Select "Miscellaneous
Functions". 6. Select WCM replaced. 7. Enter the PIN when prompted. 8. Verify the correct
information.
NOTE: If the ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time, all vehicle keys will need to be
replaced and programmed to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE/WCM menu item.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly,
programming new keys will be necessary.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret
Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
- PROGRAMMING NOT ATTEMPTED - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status
and there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- PROGRAMMING KEY FAILED (POSSIBLE USED KEY FROM WRONG VEHICLE) - SKREEM is
unable to program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is ineffective.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.

Main Relay (Computer/Fuel System): Description and Operation Auto Shutdown Relay - Operation
PCM Output
PCM OUTPUT
The ASD relay supplies battery voltage (12+ volts) to the fuel injectors and ignition coil(s). With
certain emissions packages it also supplies 12-volts to the oxygen sensor heating elements.
The ground circuit for the coil within the ASD relay is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM operates the ASD relay by switching its ground circuit on and off.
The ASD relay will be shut-down, meaning the 12-volt power supply to the ASD relay will be
de-activated by the PCM if:
- The ignition key is left in the ON position. This is if the engine has not been running for
approximately 1.8 seconds.
- There is a crankshaft position sensor signal to the PCM that is lower than pre-determined values.
ASD Sense - PCM Input
ASD SENSE - PCM INPUT
A 12 volt signal at this input indicates to the PCM that the ASD has been activated. The relay is
used to connect the oxygen sensor heater element, ignition coil and fuel injectors to 12 volt +
power supply.
This input is used only to sense that the ASD relay is energized. If the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) does not see 12 volts at this input when the ASD should be activated, it will set a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC).

Fuel Pump Relay: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) energizes the electric fuel pump through the fuel pump
relay. The fuel pump relay is energized by first applying battery voltage to it when the ignition key is
turned ON, and then applying a ground signal to the relay from the PCM.
Whenever the ignition key is turned ON, the electric fuel pump will operate. But, the PCM will
shut-down the ground circuit to the fuel pump relay in approximately 1-3 seconds unless the engine
is operating or the starter motor is engaged.

PCM Output
PCM OUTPUT
The ASD relay supplies battery voltage (12+ volts) to the fuel injectors and ignition coil(s). With
certain emissions packages it also supplies 12-volts to the oxygen sensor heating elements.
The ground circuit for the coil within the ASD relay is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM operates the ASD relay by switching its ground circuit on and off.
The ASD relay will be shut-down, meaning the 12-volt power supply to the ASD relay will be
de-activated by the PCM if:
- The ignition key is left in the ON position. This is if the engine has not been running for
approximately 1.8 seconds.
- There is a crankshaft position sensor signal to the PCM that is lower than pre-determined values.
ASD Sense - PCM Input
ASD SENSE - PCM INPUT
A 12 volt signal at this input indicates to the PCM that the ASD has been activated. The relay is
used to connect the oxygen sensor heater element, ignition coil and fuel injectors to 12 volt +
power supply.
This input is used only to sense that the ASD relay is energized. If the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) does not see 12 volts at this input when the ASD should be activated, it will set a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC).

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation Occupant Restraint Controller - Description
DESCRIPTION
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) (1) is secured with three screws to a stamped steel
mounting bracket welded onto the top of the floor panel transmission tunnel just behind the front
seat crossmember and beneath the center floor console in the passenger compartment of the
vehicle. Concealed within a hollow in the center of the die cast aluminum ORC housing is the
electronic circuitry of the ORC which includes a microprocessor, an electronic impact sensor, an
electronic safing sensor, and an energy storage capacitor. A stamped metal cover plate is secured
to the bottom of the ORC housing with four screws to enclose and protect the internal electronic
circuitry and components.
An arrow (3) printed on the label (2) on the top of the ORC housing provides a visual verification of
the proper orientation of the unit, and should always be pointed toward the front of the vehicle. The
ORC housing has integral mounting flanges on three corners. The mounting flange to the right of
the connector receptacle has an integral locating pin on its lower surface. Both right side flanges
have round mounting holes, while the flange on the left side has a slotted mounting hole. A molded
plastic electrical connector (4) with 2 receptacles, one containing 24 terminal pins and the other
containing 32 terminal pins, exits the forward facing side of the ORC housing. These terminal pins
connect the ORC to the vehicle electrical system through two dedicated take outs and connectors
of the body wire harness.
The impact sensor and safing sensor internal to the ORC are calibrated for the specific vehicle, and
are only serviced as a unit with the ORC. In addition, there are unique versions of the ORC for
vehicles with or without the optional side curtain airbags. The ORC cannot be repaired or adjusted
and, if damaged or ineffective, it must be replaced.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation Occupant Restraint Controller - Operation
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) contains the Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) logic circuits and controls all of the SRS components. The ORC uses
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can communicate with other electronic modules in the vehicle as
well as with the diagnostic scan tool using the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. This
method of communication is used for control of the airbag indicator in the Electro mechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) and for SRS
diagnosis and testing through the 16-way data link connector located on the driver side lower edge
of the instrument panel. See: Restraint Systems/Air Bag Systems/Malfunction Lamp /
Indicator/Description and Operation/Air Bag Indicator - Operation.
The ORC microprocessor continuously monitors all of the SRS electrical circuits to determine the
system readiness. If the ORC detects a monitored system fault, it sets an active and stored
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and sends electronic messages to the EMIC over the CAN data
bus to turn ON the airbag indicator. An active fault only remains for the duration of the fault, or in
some cases for the duration of the current ignition switch cycle, while a stored fault causes a DTC
to be stored in memory by the ORC. For some DTCs, if a fault does not recur for a number of
ignition cycles, the ORC will automatically erase the stored DTC. For other internal faults, the
stored DTC is latched forever.
The ORC receives battery current through two circuits; a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB), and a fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit
through a second fuse in the JB. The ORC receives ground through a ground circuit and take out of
the instrument panel wire harness. This take out has a single eyelet terminal connector that is
secured by a ground screw near the center of the instrument panel structural support. These
connections allow the ORC to be operational whenever the ignition switch is in the START or ON
positions.
The ORC also contains an energy-storage capacitor. When the ignition switch is in the START or
ON positions, this capacitor is continually being charged with enough electrical energy to deploy
the SRS components for up to one second following a battery disconnect or failure. The purpose of
the capacitor is to provide backup SRS protection in case there is a loss of battery current supply to
the ORC during an impact.
Two sensors are contained within the ORC, an electronic impact sensor and a safing sensor. The
ORC also monitors inputs from two remote front impact sensors located on the back of the right
and left vertical members of the radiator support near the front of the vehicle. The electronic impact
sensors are accelerometers that sense the rate of vehicle deceleration, which provides verification
of the direction and severity of an impact. The ORC also monitors inputs from an internal rollover
sensor and six additional remote impact sensors located on the left and right inner B-pillars and
quarter inner panels to control deployment of the side curtain airbag units.
The safing sensor is an electronic accelerometer sensor within the ORC that provides an additional
logic input to the ORC microprocessor. The safing sensor is used to verify the need for a SRS
component deployment by detecting impact energy of a lesser magnitude than that of the primary
electronic impact sensors, and must exceed a safing threshold in order for the airbags to deploy. A
second safing sensor within the ORC provides confirmation to the ORC microprocessor of side
impact forces. This second safing sensor is a bi-directional unit that detects impact forces from
either side of the vehicle.
Pre-programmed decision algorithms in the ORC microprocessor determine when the deceleration
rate as signaled by the impact sensors and the safing sensors indicate an impact that is severe
enough to require SRS protection and, based upon the severity of the monitored impact,
determines the level of front airbag deployment force required for each front seating position. When
the programmed conditions are met, the ORC sends the proper electrical signals to deploy the dual
multistage front airbags at the programmed force levels, the front seat belt tensioners and either
side curtain airbag unit.
The hard wired inputs and outputs for the ORC may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic
tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. However, conventional
diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the ORC or the electronic controls
or communication between other modules and devices that provide features of the SRS. The most
reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the ORC or the electronic controls and
communication related to ORC operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

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 electromagnetic coil is energized, it
draws the movable contact away from normally closed fixed contact, and holds it against the other
(normally open) fixed contact.
When electromagnetic coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns movable contact to normally
closed position. The resistor or diode is connected in parallel with electromagnetic coil within relay,
and helps to dissipate voltage spikes produced when coil is de-energized.

DESCRIPTION
PREMIUM SYSTEM
A transponder, also known as a trigger module, is located in three of the four wheel wells (behind
the wheelhouse splash shields) of the vehicle to provide the WCM/SKREEM with the location of the
tire pressure sensors on the vehicle. A fourth transponder is not necessary in the remaining wheel
well due to the process-of-elimination theory. Once the system knows the location of the first three
sensors it assumes the location of the fourth tire pressure sensor.

(TPM) Transponder - Operation
OPERATION NUMBER: PREMIUM SYSTEM On vehicles equipped with the premium TPM
system, the Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote
Entry Module (SKREEM), uses transponders (trigger modules) located in three of the four wheel
wells on the vehicle to provide it with the location of the tire pressure sensors on the vehicle. Like
the base system, the WCM receives RF signals from all four rotating wheel speed sensors. When
the WCM needs to know which sensor is located at a particular location on the vehicle, it directs
the transponder at that location to send out a low frequency signal to excite the nearby sensor. The
WCM then receives that excited signal and knows where that sensor is located. This auto-locating
process only happens in the first 10 minutes of any WCM cycle while traveling at speeds above 20
mph (32 km/h) (Each WCM cycle ends when the vehicle has been shut off for a time period of
approximately 15 minutes or longer). Once the WCM has performed this to the three locations that
have transponders (left front, right front, and left rear wheel wells), it uses the

DESCRIPTION
RFE - RLE TRANSMISSIONS
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) is a sub-module within the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM is located on the right inner fender.
EVT AHS-T TRANSMISSION
TEHCM MOUNTING BOLTS
On vehicles equipped with the AHS-T HEV transmission the TCM is imbedded into the
Transmission Electronic Hydraulic Control Module (TECHM) that is mounted to the valve body and
is not serviceable, the unit must be replaced.

Control Module: Description and Operation Transmission Control Module - Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) controls all electronic operations of the transmission. The
TCM receives information regarding vehicle operation from both direct and indirect inputs, and
selects the operational mode of the transmission. Direct inputs are hard wired to, and used
specifically by the TCM. Indirect inputs are shared with the TCM via the vehicle communication
bus.
Some examples of direct inputs to the TCM are:
- Battery (B+) voltage
- Ignition "ON" voltage
- Transmission Control Relay (Switched B+) (if equipped)
- Throttle Position Sensor
- Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Transmission Range Sensor
- Pressure Switches
- Transmission Temperature Sensor
- Input Shaft Speed Sensor
- Output Shaft Speed Sensor
- Line Pressure Sensor
Some examples of indirect inputs to the TCM are:
- Engine/Body Identification
- Manifold Pressure
- Target Idle
- Torque Reduction Confirmation
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Ambient/Battery Temperature
- Scan Tool 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
- Torque Reduction Request
Some examples of TCM indirect outputs are:
- Transmission Temperature (to PCM)
- PRNDL Position (to cluster/CCN)
In addition to monitoring inputs and controlling outputs, the TCM has other important
responsibilities and functions:
- Storing and maintaining Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI)
- Storing and selecting appropriate Shift Schedules
- System self-diagnostics
- Diagnostic capabilities (with scan tool)
NOTE: If the TCM has been replaced, the "Quick Learn Procedure" must be performed. See:
Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning/TCM Quick Learn
BATTERY FEED
A fused, direct battery feed to the TCM is used for continuous power. This battery voltage is
necessary to retain memory in the TCM. When the battery (B+) is disconnected, this memory is
lost. When the battery (B+) is restored, this memory loss is detected by the TCM and a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) is set.
CLUTCH VOLUME INDEXES (CVI)
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Transmission and Drivetrain > Relays and
Modules - A/T > Control Module, A/T > Component Information > Description and Operation > Transmission Control Module
- Description > Page 489
An important function of the TCM is to monitor Clutch Volume Indexes (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 transmission gear position. This is important
to the CVI calculation because the TCM determines CVIs by monitoring how long it takes for a gear
change to occur.
Gear ratios can be determined by using the 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 input clutch assembly can cause inadequate or
out-of-range element volumes. Also, defective Input/Output Speed Sensors and wiring can cause
these conditions. The following charts identifies the appropriate clutch volumes and when they are
monitored/updated:

SHIFT SCHEDULES
As mentioned earlier, the TCM has programming that allows it to select a variety of shift schedules.
Shift schedule selection is dependent on the following:
- Shift lever position
- Throttle position
- Engine load
- Fluid temperature
- Software level
As driving conditions change, the TCM appropriately adjusts the shift schedule. Refer to the
following chart to determine the appropriate operation expected, depending on driving conditions.

Drive Control Module - Description > Page 512
Control Module: Description and Operation Final Drive Control Module - Operation
OPERATION
POWER UP/DOWN
The Final Drive Control Module (FDCM) will power up with an OFF/ON transition of the hard wired
ignition switch input, or with the presence of active CAN C communications.
The FDCM will power down when the vehicle ignition switch transitions from ON to OFF, or there
are no CAN C messages, or there are no system requirements that dictate the controller to remain
active
START-UP DIAGNOSTICS
When the FDCM is activated, the internal circuitry will undergo a diagnostic procedure. The
controller will examine all inputs and outputs for short circuits to ground, short circuits to battery
and open circuits and will also verify proper CPU and memory operation. If a fault is detected, a
message will be sent out over the CAN C bus to the Cluster based Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) indicating that service is recommended.
After passing all diagnostic tests, the controller will receive and process inputs and produce the
appropriate outputs. Proper monitoring of the controller inputs and outputs performance will
continue.
INPUTS/OUTPUTS
The following are inputs to the FDCM:
- Lateral Accelerometer
- Transfer Case Mode Sensor Signal
- 3 Direct Battery Feeds
- Ignition RUN Sense
- Sensor Grounds
- Module Grounds
- CAN C Bus
The following are outputs of the FDCM:
- 5V Sensor Supply
- Transfer Case Bi-directional Motor Control (A AND B)
TRANSFER CASE MODE SENSOR SIGNAL
The Transfer Case Mode Sensor Signal Input will provide the FDCM feedback about the position of
the transfer case. The mode sensor will be a linear analog position sensor with a 1.4K +/- 20%
potentiometer and a 1 K +/- 20% resistor that converts the motor shaft position into a multiplexed
voltage.

SLIP CONTROL
Slip Control increases torque to the front axle when a relative slip is detected between the front and
the rear prop shafts.
Slip Control adjusts according to the vehicle speed and allows a permissible slip.
Utilizes a closed loop strategy for permissible slip and speed of engagement.
STABILITY CONTROL
Stability control modifies the torque request based upon the vehicle dynamics under the over-steer
and under-steer conditions.
It monitors the yaw rate and the lateral acceleration to modify the clutch capacity to bring the
vehicle back to a more neutral attitude.
Compensates for high load conditions by monitoring the vehicle acceleration and changing the
torque capacity.
REGENERATIVE BRAKING STRATEGY
During the event of regenerative braking the software splits the torque indicated by the signal axle
in a ratio of 47:53 front and rear respectively.
This torque split is to be modified to achieve optimum efficiency levels during a braking event.
MODES OF OPERATION
Normal Operation
This mode is achieved by the ignition being switched in the RUN position, which powers up the 5V
regulator and generates the appropriate RESET for the microprocessor. This mode also includes
any required power-up system checks.
Shut Down Mode
This mode is activated when the ignition switch turned to the off position. The FDCM will perform
any required Shut Down tasks prior to turning off the 5V regulator.
Limp-In Mode
This mode is entered when the FDCM has detected an error condition that prevents the system
from performing its' required task. The FDCM operation will vary depending from modified
operation to total system shut down based on the failure that has occurred.

DESCRIPTION
The rear window defogger (EBL) relay (1) is an International Standards Organization (ISO)-type
relay. Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical dimensions, current
capacities, terminal functions and patterns (2). The EBL relay is a electromechanical device that
switches battery current through a fuse in the power distribution center (PDC) to the rear window
defogger grid and to the outside mirror heating grids. The EBL relay is energized when the relay
coil is provided a ground path by the rear window defogger relay control in the front control module
(FCM).
The EBL relay is located in the junction block (JB) in the passenger compartment.

Heated Glass Element Relay: Description and Operation Rear Defogger Relay - Operation
OPERATION
The ISO-standard rear window defogger (EBL) relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low
current input controlled by the front control module (FCM) to control the high current output to the
rear window defogger grid lines. The movable, common feed relay contact is held against the fixed,
normally closed relay contact by spring pressure. When the electromagnetic relay coil is energized,
it draws the movable common feed relay contact away from the fixed, normally closed relay contact
and, holds it against the fixed, normally open relay contact. This action allows high current to flow
to the rear window defogger grid lines.
When the relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns the movable relay contact back
against the fixed, normally closed contact point. The resistor or diode is connected in parallel with
the relay coil, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be
generated as the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The EBL relay terminals are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a receptacle in the
junction block (JB). The inputs and outputs of the EBL relay include:
- The common feed terminal (30) receives fused battery current at all times.
- The coil ground terminal (85) receives a ground through the EBL relay control circuit only when
the front control module (FCM) electronically pulls the circuit to ground.
- The coil battery terminal (86) receives fused battery current through an ignition switch output
circuit only when the ignition switch is in RUN.
- The normally open terminal (87) provides battery current to the rear window defogger grid lines
through the EBL relay output circuit only when the EBL 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 EBL relay coil is de-energized.
The EBL relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or damaged.
See Wiring Information for diagnosis and testing of the EBL relay and for complete rear window
defogger (EBL) wiring diagrams.

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. A resistor 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 wiper high/low relay terminals are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
connector receptacle in the Integrated Power Module (IPM). The inputs and outputs of the wiper
high/low relay include:
- Common Feed Terminal - The common feed terminal (30) is connected to the output of the wiper
on/off relay at all times through the wiper on/off relay output circuit.
Coil Ground Terminal - The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to a control output of the Front
Control Module (FCM) through a wiper high/low relay control circuit. The FCM controls wiper motor
operation by controlling a ground path through this circuit.
- Coil Battery Terminal - The coil battery terminal (86) receives battery current when the ignition
switch is in the On or Accessory positions from a fuse in the IPM through a fused ignition switch
output (run-acc) circuit.
- Normally Open Terminal - The normally open terminal (87) is connected to the high speed brush
of the wiper motor through a wiper high/low relay high speed output circuit, and is connected to the
high speed brush whenever the relay is energized.
- Normally Closed Terminal - The normally closed terminal (87A) is connected to the low speed
brush of the wiper motor through a wiper high/low relay low speed output circuit, and is connected
to the low speed brush whenever the relay is de-energized.
The wiper high/low relay as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the relay may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

OPERATION
The wiper on/off relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current input from the Front
Control Module (FCM) to control a high current output to the wiper motor. 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. A resistor 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.

Hood Sensor/Switch (For Alarm): Description and Operation Vehicle Theft Security Hood Ajar
Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The hood ajar switch is a normally closed, single pole, spring-loaded plunger actuated switch. This
switch has two unique versions that are used in three different applications. One switch is used
only on vehicles equipped with the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) system for sale in certain export
markets where protection of the underhood area is required equipment. The second switch is used
only on domestic market vehicles equipped with either an optional remote starter system or the
optional Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system.
The molded plastic switch body (5) has an integral molded connector receptacle (1) on the lower
end containing two terminal pins. The switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
dedicated take out of the headlamp and dash wire harness. Two integral latches (2) lock the switch
into a keyed mounting hole. For the vehicle theft and remote start applications, the switch is
secured within the stamped metal inner left fender mounting flange within the engine compartment.
For the HEV applications, the switch is secured within the stamped metal inner right fender
mounting flange within the engine compartment. A molded plastic striker secured to the underside
of the hood panel inner reinforcement actuates the switch plunger as the hood panel is closed.
The switch plunger (3) extends through a mounting collar (4) and a sleeve-like retainer ring on the
upper end of the switch body. The retainer ring has a one time, self-adjustment feature that is
activated after the switch is installed by closing the hood. The retainer ring is also color-coded to
aid in identifying the switch application. A dark brown retainer ring identifies the underhood security
switch application, while a white retainer ring identifies the remote starter system or HEV system
application.
An installed hood ajar switch cannot be readjusted or repaired. If the switch is damaged,
ineffective, or requires readjustment, it must be replaced with a new unit. The hood ajar switch
striker is not intended for reuse. If the striker is removed from the hood inner reinforcement for any
reason, it must be replaced with a new unit.

Hood Sensor/Switch (For Alarm): Description and Operation Vehicle Theft Security Hood Ajar
Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The hood ajar switches are interchangeable physically, but not functionally. In each case, the hood
ajar switch is a normally closed switch that is held open as the spring-loaded switch plunger is
depressed by the striker on the inner hood panel reinforcement when the hood panel is closed and
latched. When the hood is opened, the spring-loaded switch plunger extends from the switch body
and the switch contacts are closed.
In the underhood security application (export market vehicles only - dark brown retainer ring), the
switch is connected in series between ground and the hood ajar switch sense input of the Front
Control Module (FCM). The FCM uses an internal resistor pull up to monitor the state of the hood
ajar switch contacts.
In the remote starter system application (domestic market vehicles only - white retainer ring) the
switch has a 1 kilo ohm diagnostic resistor connected in parallel to the switch contacts between the
two switch terminals. The switch is connected in series between an output of the FCM and the
hood ajar switch sense input of the FCM. The FCM continually monitors this circuit and will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that it detects. When the hood switch is closed (hood
is open), the remote start feature is disabled.
In the Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system application (white retainer ring) the switch has a 1 kilo
ohm diagnostic resistor connected in parallel to the switch contacts between the two switch
terminals. The switch is connected in series between ground and the hood ajar switch sense input
of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM continually monitors this circuit and will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that it detects. When the hood switch is closed (hood
is open), the gasoline engine auto-start feature is disabled.
The components of the switch self-adjustment feature include an integral stop on the shaft of the
plunger and a ribbed, ratcheting sleeve-like retainer ring at the top of the switch body from which
the plunger extends. With the switch mounting collar secured in its mounting hole, the plunger is
depressed by the striker on the hood inner reinforcement as the hood is closed. As the plunger is
depressed, the plunger stop contacts the top of the retainer ring and it is driven downward,
ratcheting through the switch mounting collar until the hood is fully closed and latched. The ribs on
the retainer ring are engaged within the mounting collar to maintain this adjusted position.
The hood ajar switch as well as the hard wired circuits between the switch and the FCM or PCM
may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate
wiring information. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the
diagnosis of the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices related
to hood ajar switch operation that provide some features of the export market vehicle theft,
domestic market remote starter or the HEV systems. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the electronic controls and communication related to hood ajar switch operation
requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Parking Assist Distance Sensor: Description and Operation Park Assist Sensor - Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the park assist system have four park assist sensors (1) installed on the
rear bumper fascia. Only the membrane (3) of each sensor is visible through a hole in the outer
vertical surface of the fascia. The remainder of each sensor including the sensor mounting bracket,
the sensor spacer and the sensor wiring connection is concealed behind the fascia. A sensor wire
harness behind the fascia connects the sensors to the vehicle electrical system.
Each of the four sensors is identical in construction and is interchangeable. The electronic circuitry
and a communication chip for each sensor is enclosed and protected within the molded black
plastic sensor housing. The housing includes an integral connector receptacle (4) and two integral
latch tabs (2). The sensor membrane extends from the surface of the sensor housing, and is
finished to match or contrast with the outer surface of the fascia.
The numbering system for the park assist sensors allows for up to twelve sensors on the vehicle,
six front and six rear. The sensors are numbered in a clockwise manner starting at the left front
bumper. The left front sensor (if equipped with front park assist) is the number 1 sensor. The
numbering continues in a clockwise direction around the vehicle. Since this vehicle uses only four
rear sensors, sensor numbers 7 and 12 are omitted, so the left rear sensor is the number 11
sensor.

A resilient O-ring spacer around the circumference of each of the four sensor membranes (2)
isolates the membrane from the openings in the fascia (1). Each sensor is snapped into its own
dedicated molded plastic mounting bracket. Each mounting bracket is heat-staked to the back side
of the rear fascia.
The park assist sensors cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged they must be
replaced. The sensors and the spacers are each available for individual service replacement.

Parking Assist Distance Sensor: Description and Operation Park Assist Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The park assist sensors are ultrasonic transceivers that are completely controlled by the park assist
module. The sensors transmit and receive ultrasonic signals. The sensors each receive battery
current and ground in parallel from the module, but are each connected to individual dedicated
serial bus communication circuits to the module.
Each sensor membrane is oscillated, then quieted by the module in a pulsing fashion. While the
sensor membrane oscillates, it emits an ultrasonic signal. This signal will bounce or echo off of
objects in the path of the vehicle. While quieted, each membrane receives the echoes of the
ultrasonic signals it and the other sensors have transmitted. The sensors then communicate this
echo data over the serial bus lines back to the module. The microprocessor in the module uses the
intervals between the ultrasonic transmission and reception data from the sensors to calculate the
distance to any obstacles identified by the ultrasonic echoes.
The hard wired circuits between components related to the park assist sensors may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. 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.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the park
assist sensors or the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices that
provide some features of the park assist system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means
to diagnose the park assist sensors or the electronic controls and communication related to park
assist sensor operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate

Remote Switch: Description and Operation Remote Radio Switches - Operation
OPERATION
The six switches in the two remote radio switch units are normally open, resistor multiplexed
momentary switches that are hard wired to the Instrument cluster through the clockspring. The
instrument cluster sends a five volt reference signal to both switch units on one circuit, and senses
the status of all of the switches by reading the voltage drop on a second circuit.
When the instrument cluster senses an input (voltage drop) from any one of the remote radio
switches, it sends the proper switch status messages on the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus to the radio. The electronic circuitry within the radio is programmed to respond to these remote
radio switch status messages by adjusting the radio settings as requested.

Hood Sensor/Switch (For Alarm): Description and Operation Vehicle Theft Security Hood Ajar
Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The hood ajar switch is a normally closed, single pole, spring-loaded plunger actuated switch. This
switch has two unique versions that are used in three different applications. One switch is used
only on vehicles equipped with the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) system for sale in certain export
markets where protection of the underhood area is required equipment. The second switch is used
only on domestic market vehicles equipped with either an optional remote starter system or the
optional Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system.
The molded plastic switch body (5) has an integral molded connector receptacle (1) on the lower
end containing two terminal pins. The switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
dedicated take out of the headlamp and dash wire harness. Two integral latches (2) lock the switch
into a keyed mounting hole. For the vehicle theft and remote start applications, the switch is
secured within the stamped metal inner left fender mounting flange within the engine compartment.
For the HEV applications, the switch is secured within the stamped metal inner right fender
mounting flange within the engine compartment. A molded plastic striker secured to the underside
of the hood panel inner reinforcement actuates the switch plunger as the hood panel is closed.
The switch plunger (3) extends through a mounting collar (4) and a sleeve-like retainer ring on the
upper end of the switch body. The retainer ring has a one time, self-adjustment feature that is
activated after the switch is installed by closing the hood. The retainer ring is also color-coded to
aid in identifying the switch application. A dark brown retainer ring identifies the underhood security
switch application, while a white retainer ring identifies the remote starter system or HEV system
application.
An installed hood ajar switch cannot be readjusted or repaired. If the switch is damaged,
ineffective, or requires readjustment, it must be replaced with a new unit. The hood ajar switch
striker is not intended for reuse. If the striker is removed from the hood inner reinforcement for any
reason, it must be replaced with a new unit.

Switch - Description > Page 621
Hood Sensor/Switch (For Alarm): Description and Operation Vehicle Theft Security Hood Ajar
Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The hood ajar switches are interchangeable physically, but not functionally. In each case, the hood
ajar switch is a normally closed switch that is held open as the spring-loaded switch plunger is
depressed by the striker on the inner hood panel reinforcement when the hood panel is closed and
latched. When the hood is opened, the spring-loaded switch plunger extends from the switch body
and the switch contacts are closed.
In the underhood security application (export market vehicles only - dark brown retainer ring), the
switch is connected in series between ground and the hood ajar switch sense input of the Front
Control Module (FCM). The FCM uses an internal resistor pull up to monitor the state of the hood
ajar switch contacts.
In the remote starter system application (domestic market vehicles only - white retainer ring) the
switch has a 1 kilo ohm diagnostic resistor connected in parallel to the switch contacts between the
two switch terminals. The switch is connected in series between an output of the FCM and the
hood ajar switch sense input of the FCM. The FCM continually monitors this circuit and will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that it detects. When the hood switch is closed (hood
is open), the remote start feature is disabled.
In the Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system application (white retainer ring) the switch has a 1 kilo
ohm diagnostic resistor connected in parallel to the switch contacts between the two switch
terminals. The switch is connected in series between ground and the hood ajar switch sense input
of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM continually monitors this circuit and will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that it detects. When the hood switch is closed (hood
is open), the gasoline engine auto-start feature is disabled.
The components of the switch self-adjustment feature include an integral stop on the shaft of the
plunger and a ribbed, ratcheting sleeve-like retainer ring at the top of the switch body from which
the plunger extends. With the switch mounting collar secured in its mounting hole, the plunger is
depressed by the striker on the hood inner reinforcement as the hood is closed. As the plunger is
depressed, the plunger stop contacts the top of the retainer ring and it is driven downward,
ratcheting through the switch mounting collar until the hood is fully closed and latched. The ribs on
the retainer ring are engaged within the mounting collar to maintain this adjusted position.
The hood ajar switch as well as the hard wired circuits between the switch and the FCM or PCM
may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate
wiring information. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the
diagnosis of the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices related
to hood ajar switch operation that provide some features of the export market vehicle theft,
domestic market remote starter or the HEV systems. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the electronic controls and communication related to hood ajar switch operation
requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Power Door Lock Switch: Description and Operation Power Lock Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The driver side window/lock switch combines a power lock switch, a driver power window switch
with an Auto-down feature, master switches for each passenger door power window, a power
window lockout switch, a power mirror selector switch, and four power mirror adjustment switches
in a single assembly. The switches in the window/lock switch can be diagnosed using conventional
diagnostic tools and methods.
Power Lock Switch
The power lock switch circuitry is connected in series between ground and the driver door switch
mux input of the instrument cluster (without memory). If equipped with the memory system, the
circuitry is connected to the memory mirror module. Each power lock switch position (Lock, Unlock,
and Neutral) provides a different resistance value to the instrument cluster or memory mirror input,
which allows the instrument cluster or memory module to sense the switch position. Based upon
the power lock switch input, the instrument cluster or memory module controls the battery and
ground feed outputs to the individual power lock motors to lock or unlock the door latches. The
Light-Emitting Diode (LED) in the power lock switch is connected to battery current through the
power window circuit breaker in the Integrated Power Module (IPM) on a fused ignition switch
output (run-acc) circuit so that the switch will be illuminated whenever the ignition switch is in the
On or Accessory positions.
Power Window Switches
The power window switch circuitry is connected to battery current through a circuit breaker in the
Integrated Power Module (IPM) on a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit so that the power
windows will operate whenever the ignition switch is in the On or Accessory positions. Each
two-way, momentary master passenger power window switch in the window/lock switch provides
battery current and ground to the individual power window switches on each passenger door so
that the power window switch controls the battery current and ground feeds to its respective power
window motor. The switch for the driver side front door power window includes an auto-down
feature. When this switch is depressed to a second momentary detent position and released, the
driver door power window is automatically operated through an internal circuit and relay to its fully
lowered position. The Auto-down event is cancelled if the switch paddle is depressed a second
time in either the Up or Down direction. When the two position window lockout switch in the
window/lock switch is depressed and latched in the lockout position, the battery current feed to
each of the individual passenger power window switches is interrupted so that the passenger door
power windows can only be operated from the switches in the window/lock switch. The window
lockout switch also controls the battery current feed for the LED in each passenger power window
switch so that the switch will not be illuminated when it is locked out.

Power Door Lock Switch: Testing and Inspection
WINDOW/DOOR LOCK SWITCH
The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) illumination lamps for all of the window/lock switch power window
and power lock switches receive battery current through the circuit breaker in the Integrated Power
Module (IPM). If only one LED in the door module is inoperative, replace the faulty door module. If
the driver side front door power window operates in a normal manner, but the Auto-Down feature is
inoperative, replace the faulty window/lock switch. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable. Remove the window/lock switch from the door
trim panel. Disconnect the door wire electrical
connectors from the switch.
2. Test the switch continuity. See the Switch Tests chart to determine if the continuity is correct for
the suspect switches in each switch position. If
not OK, replace the faulty window/lock switch as required.

Power Mirror Switch: Description and Operation Power Mirror Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The power mirror switch circuitry is connected to battery current through a fuse in the IPM on a
fused B(+) circuit so that the power mirrors remain operational regardless of the ignition switch
position. A rotary joystick selector switch has three positions, one to select the right mirror, one to
select the left mirror, and a center Off position. After the right or left mirror is selected, the joystick
is moved to move the selected mirror Up, Down, Right or Left. In vehicles without Memory Mirrors
the power mirror switch circuitry controls the battery current and ground feeds to each of the four
(two in each mirror head) power mirror motors. In vehicles with Memory Mirrors the mirror switch
connects to the driver power mirror module. The driver memory mirror module uses the mirror
switch inputs to control the battery current and ground feeds to driver mirror motor and sends a
CAN Bus message to the passenger mirror module. The passenger mirror module controls the
battery current and ground feeds to passenger mirror motors based on the CAN bus message from
the driver memory module.

DESCRIPTION
The driver power seat can be adjusted in eight different ways using the power seat switch. The
passenger power seat can be adjusted in four different ways. The power seat switch is located on
the lower outboard side of the seat cushion on the seat cushion side shield on all models.
The individual switches in the power seat switch assembly cannot be repaired. If one switch is
damaged or inoperative, the entire power seat switch must be replaced.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Power Seat Switch - Description > Page 675
Power Seat Switch: Description and Operation Power Seat Switch - Operation
OPERATION
When a power seat switch is actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are applied through the
switch contacts to the power seat adjuster or recliner adjuster motor. The selected adjuster motor
operates to move the seat 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.
On vehicles equipped with memory system, a resistance signal is sent to the Memory Seat Module
(MSM) via the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus circuit, when the driver memory seat switch
control knob is actuated. The MSM is responsible for the 12v battery feed and ground path to the
power seat adjuster motor. The adjuster motor operates to move the power seat adjuster
mechanism through its drive unit in the selected direction until the switch is released, or until the
travel limit of the adjuster is reached.
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 may result in
motor damage.

Power Trunk / Liftgate Hazard Sensor: Description and Operation Pinch Sensor - Description
DESCRIPTION
Pinch sensors (2) are located on each side of the liftgate (1). 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 liftgate close cycle. The right side pinch sensor contains a thermistor that is integral to the
pinch sensor assembly. The thermistor is a temperature sensor used by the power liftgate control
module to enable proper liftgate operation in extreme climate conditions.

Power Trunk / Liftgate Hazard Sensor: Description and Operation Pinch Sensor - Operation
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.
The thermistor portion of the right pinch sensor provides the temperature signal to the power
liftgate control module (temperature is provided when the pinch sensor is in an unpinched
condition; when pinched, temperature is unavailable because the thermistor is shorted). As the
outside temperature increases, the resistance reading decreases. As temperature decreases, the
resistance reading increases.

DESCRIPTION
The heated seat switches are both mounted in the instrument panel. The two switches are snapped
into mounting holes in the instrument panel center bezel (1). The two heated seat switches (2) and
(3) are identical in appearance and construction, except for the location of a keyway in the
connector receptacle on the back of each switch. The instrument panel wire harness connectors for
the heated seat switches are keyed to match the connector receptacles so that the two heated seat
switches can only be connected to the proper heated seat.
Each momentary, bidirectional rocker-type heated seat switch provides a resistor-multiplexed
signal to the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). Each switch has a center neutral position and
momentary Low and High positions so that the driver and the front seat passenger can select a
preferred seat heating level. Each heated seat switch has two Light-Emitting Diode (LED) indicator
lamps, which indicate the selected level (Low or High) of the seat heater. Each switch also has one
indicator lamp for back lighting of the switch when the ignition switch is in the Run position.
The five LED indicator lamps in each heated seat switch cannot be repaired. If the LED lamps are
faulty or damaged, or the switch is faulty or damaged the individual heated seat switch assembly
must be replaced.

Momentary contact push button switch/modules (2) mounted in the front face of the second row
center floor console (3) operate the heated second row seat system. Each heated seat
switch/module has two Light-Emitting Diode (LED) indicator lamps, which indicate the selected
level (Low or High) of the seat heater. Pressing the switch/module button initiates heat. Heat
remains on until switched off or until the ignition is turned off. If switched off by the ignition, a
switch/module button must be pressed to restart heating.
The switch/modules contain the solid state electronic control and diagnostic logic circuitry for the
heated second row seat system. If any of the heated second row seat elements are inoperative or
damaged one or more of the LED lamps in the switch/module for the effected seat will flash.
The LED indicator lamps in each heated seat switch/module cannot be repaired. If the LED lamps
are inoperative or damaged, or the switch/module is inoperative or damaged the individual heated
seat switch/module assembly must be replaced. See: Service and Repair/Heated Seat Switch Removal for the switch/module replacement procedure.

Seat Heater Switch: Description and Operation Heated Seat Switch - Operation
Front
OPERATION
The heated seat switches receive battery current through a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
when the ignition switch is in the On position. Depressing the heated seat switch rocker to its
momentary High or Low position provides a hard-wired resistor multiplexed signal to the Cabin
Compartment Node (CCN). The CCN is responsible for supplying the CAN bus message to the
heated seat module, signaling the module to power the heated seat element of the selected seat
and maintain the temperature setting.
If the heated seat switch is depressed to a different position (Low or High) than the currently
selected state, the CCN will go through the process again to change the temperature setting. If a
heated seat switch is depressed a second time to the same position as the currently selected state,
the CCN and heated seat module interprets the second input as a request to turn the seat heater
OFF. The CCN will then signal the heated seat module to turn the heated seat elements for that
seat off.
The backlighting LED's in each of the heated seat switches receive battery current through a fused
ignition switch output (run) circuit when the ignition switch is in the On position. The ground side of
the indicator lamp is divided by a separate lamp driver circuit in the CCN.
Second Row
OPERATION
A Heated Seat Switch/Module is used to control the heated second row seat system. The heated
seat switch/modules receive battery current through a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
when the ignition switch is in the On position. The switch/module responds to heated seat
switch/module button input and ignition switch status inputs by controlling the 12v output to the
front seat heating elements through integral solid-state relays.
When either of the heated seat switch/module buttons are depressed the heating element for the
selected seat is energized. Amber Light Emitting Diodes (LEDS) on the side of each switch/module
indicate the level of heat in use: Two LEDs are illuminated for high, one for low, and none for off.
Pressing the switch/module button once will select high-level heating. Pressing the button a second
time will select low-level heating. Pressing the button a third time will shut the heating elements off.
The heated seat switch/module energizes an integral solid-state relay, which supplies battery
current to the heating elements. When high-temperature heating is selected, the heaters provide a
boosted heat level during the first four minutes of operation after heating is activated. The heat
output then drops to the normal high-temperature level. If high-level heating is selected, the control
system will automatically switch to the low level after thirty minutes of continuous operation. At that
time, the number of illuminated LEDs changes from two to one, indicating the change. Operation
on the low setting will continue for another thirty minutes and the system will then be automatically
turned off.

Seat Heater Switch: Testing and Inspection
HEATED SEAT SWITCH
Refer to the Wiring section for complete heated seat system wiring diagrams.
WARNING: Disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, or
instrument panel component diagnosis or
service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the
airbag system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the
only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in
accidental airbag deployment and possible personal injury.
1. If the problem being diagnosed involves inoperative heated seat switch back lighting and the
heated seat elements do heat, disconnect the
inoperative switch and check for continuity between the ground pin at the heated seat switch
connector and ground. If there is no continuity, repair an open wire between ground and the heated
seat switch connector. If there is continuity, replace the inoperative heated seat switch. If the
problem being diagnosed involves a heated seat switch indicator lamp that remains illuminated
after the heated seat has been turned Off, See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning
Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection. Also refer to the Body Diagnostic
Information for additional diagnosis and testing procedures.
2. Check the fused ignition switch output (run) fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC). If OK,
go to 3. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or
component as required and replace the faulty fuse.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch
output (run) fuse in the PDC. If OK, go to 4. If

LIFTGATE
A liftgate ajar switch is standard equipment on this vehicle. The switch is concealed within and
integral to the liftgate latch unit. The switch is a momentary leaf contact-type unit that is actuated by
the liftgate latch mechanisms. An integral connector receptacle on the liftgate latch connects the
liftgate ajar switch to the vehicle electrical system through the liftgate wire harness.
The liftgate ajar switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the liftgate
latch unit must be replaced. See: Body and Frame/Doors, Hood and Trunk/Trunk / Liftgate/Trunk /
Liftgate Latch/Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement/Latch - Removal.

LIFTGATE
The liftgate ajar switch is actuated by the liftgate latch mechanism. When the liftgate is closed and
properly latched, its liftgate ajar switch is an open circuit. When the liftgate is open or only partially
latched, the liftgate ajar switch is a closed circuit. The liftgate ajar switch is hard wired in series
between a body ground and the Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the
Cab Compartment Node/CCN). The EMIC reads the hard wired liftgate ajar switch input through an
internal pull-up, then uses this input to control many electronic functions and features of the
vehicle.
The liftgate ajar switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Trunk / Liftgate Switch: Description and Operation Exterior Handle Switch - Installation
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with a power liftgate exterior handle switch. The switch is integral to the
power liftgate latch assembly. It is activated by the exterior handle, located in the license plate light
bar, through a mechanical link rod attaching the two together. The power liftgate exterior handle
switch is primarily used for manual opening of the liftgate. Activation of the switch during a
automatic power "close" cycle will cause the liftgate to reverse direction. Activation of the switch
during a power "open" cycle will cause the power liftgate to disengage, allowing full manual
operation.
The exterior handle cannot be adjusted or repaired and if damaged it must be replaced. See: Body
and Frame/Doors, Hood and Trunk/Trunk / Liftgate/Trunk / Liftgate Handle/Service and
Repair/Exterior Handle - Removal.
The power liftgate exterior handle switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and if damaged or
inoperative the complete power liftgate latch assembly must be replaced. See: Body and
Frame/Doors, Hood and Trunk/Trunk / Liftgate/Trunk / Liftgate Latch/Service and Repair/Removal
and Replacement/Power Liftgate Latch - Removal.

Trunk / Liftgate Switch: Description and Operation Exterior Handle Switch - Removal
OPERATION
When the exterior liftgate handle is pulled, a mechanical linkage inside the liftgate depresses the
power liftgate exterior handle switch in the power liftgate latch assembly. A hard-wired signal is
then detected by the Power Liftgate Control Module. The power liftgate control module then looks
at the vehicle lock status on the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. If the vehicle is not
locked and the operating conditions are met, the power liftgate control module then applies power
to the latch mounted motor, which moves the liftgate from the primary closed and latched position
to the open and movable position.
If the liftgate is not pulled open within seven seconds, once the latch releases, the latch will
automatically cinch closed.

Trunk / Liftgate Switch: Description and Operation Overhead Console Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The overhead console shown contains a combination power liftgate/power sunroof switch.
Vehicles equipped with the power liftgate
and no sunroof contain a single power liftgate switch only.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with both a power sunroof and power liftgate the overhead console
switches are serviced together as one
assembly.
NOTE: Durango overhead console with Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) shown.
Aspen overhead console similar.
The power liftgate switch (3) is mounted in the overhead console assembly (1) between the reading
lamps (2). The switch is snapped into mounting slots in the overhead console assembly. The
momentary, push button-type power liftgate switch, provides a hardwired signal to the Power
Liftgate Control Module.
If the switch is inoperative or damaged the power liftgate/power sunroof switch assembly must be
replaced. See: Service and Repair/Overhead Console Switch - Removal for the appropriate
procedure.

Trunk / Liftgate Switch: Description and Operation Overhead Console Switch - Operation
OPERATION
Battery voltage is supplied to the power liftgate system through a fuse, located in the Integrated
Power Module (IPM) assembly. When the power liftgate switch is pushed, a hardwired signal is
sent to the Power Liftgate Control Module. The power liftgate control module then interprets the
information to confirm safety requirements are met before applying power to the power liftgate drive
unit to start a power cycle.
During a power liftgate open or close cycle, if the power liftgate control module detects sufficient
resistance to liftgate travel, such as an obstruction in the liftgate's path. The control module will
immediately stop liftgate movement and reverse the direction of travel to the full open or closed
position.

Parking Brake Warning Switch: Description and Operation Parking Brake Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The park brake switch is a normally closed, mechanically actuated leaf contact switch that is
operated by the park brake lever mechanism. The switch is grounded through its mounting to the
park brake lever mechanism and provides a ground input to the Electro Mechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) on a park brake switch sense
circuit whenever the park brake is applied, and opens this circuit whenever the park brake is
released. The park brake switch sense input to the EMIC is used for control of the brake indicator

Parking Brake Warning Switch: Testing and Inspection
PARK BRAKE SWITCH
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before
attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or
instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery
(ground) cable. Wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further
diagnosis or service. On vehicles equipped with the optional Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system,
a technician trained in proper HEV service safety procedures must also remove the high voltage
service disconnect from the high voltage battery pack. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS.
Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
NOTE: If the brake indicator stays ON with the ignition switch in the ON position and the park brake
released, or comes ON while driving,
the brake system must be diagnosed and repaired prior to performing the following tests. See:
Brakes and Traction Control/Testing and Inspection . If no brake system problem is found, the
following procedures will help to locate a shorted or open park brake switch sense circuit, or an
ineffective park brake switch.
INDICATOR ILLUMINATES DURING BULB TEST, BUT DOES NOT WHEN PARK BRAKE
APPLIED
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. On vehicles equipped with the optional Hybrid
Electric Vehicle (HEV) system, a technician
trained in proper HEV service safety procedures must also remove the high voltage service
disconnect from the high voltage battery pack. Disconnect the body wire harness connector for the
park brake switch from the switch terminal. Apply the parking brake. Check for continuity between
the park brake switch terminal and a good ground. There should be continuity. If OK, go to 2. If not
OK, replace the ineffective park brake switch.
2. Disconnect the instrument panel wire harness connector (Connector C1) for the instrument
cluster from the cluster connector receptacle. Check for
continuity between the park brake switch sense circuit cavities of the body wire harness connector
for the park brake switch and the instrument panel wire harness connector for the instrument

Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
OPERATION
The sensors convert wheel speed into a digital signal. The ABM sends 12 volts to the sensors. The
sensor has an internal hall sensor that alters the voltage and amperage of the signal circuit. This
voltage and amperage is changed by magnetic induction when the toothed tone wheel passes the
wheel speed sensor. This digital signal is sent to the ABM. The ABM measures the voltage and
amperage of the digital signal for each wheel.
The signal strength is affected by the distance between the Sensor and the tone ring. If the "Air
Gap" between the WSS and the tone ring/wheel is too large, the WSS signal can drop out at low
speed, (below 40 mph) and can cause an ABS activation.

Cruise Control Switch: Description and Operation Speed Control Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
Two separate switch pods operate the speed control system. The steering-wheel-mounted
switches use multiplexed circuits to provide inputs to the PCM for ON, OFF, RESUME,
ACCELERATE, SET, DECEL and CANCEL modes. Refer to the Owner's Manual for more
information on speed control switch functions and setting procedures.
The individual switches cannot be repaired. If one switch fails, the entire switch module must be
replaced.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Speed Control Switch - Description > Page 879
Cruise Control Switch: Description and Operation Speed Control Switch - Operation
OPERATION
When speed control is selected by depressing the ON, OFF switch, the PCM allows a set speed to
be stored in its RAM for speed control. To store a set speed, depress the SET switch while the
vehicle is moving at a speed between approximately 35 (56.2kph) and 85 mph (136.8kph). 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.
The speed control can be disengaged also by any of the following conditions:
- An indication of Park or Neutral (auto. trans.)
- The VSS signal increases at a rate of 10 mph (16 kph) per second (indicates that the co-efficient
of friction between the road surface and tires is extremely low)
- Depressing the clutch pedal (manual trans.).
- Excessive engine rpm (indicates that the transmission may be in a low gear)
- The VSS signal decreases at a rate of 10 mph (16 kph) per second (indicates that the vehicle
may have decelerated at an extremely high rate)
- If the actual speed is not within 20 mph (32.1 kph) of the set speed
The previous disengagement conditions are programmed for added safety. Once the speed control
has been disengaged, depressing the ACCEL switch restores the vehicle to the target speed that
was stored in the PCM's RAM
NOTE: Depressing the OFF switch will erase the set speed stored in the PCM's RAM.
If, while the speed control is engaged, the driver wishes to increase vehicle speed, the PCM is
programmed for an acceleration feature. With the ACCEL switch held closed, the vehicle
accelerates slowly to the desired speed. The new target speed is stored in the PCM's RAM when
the ACCEL switch is released. The PCM also has a "tap-up" feature in which vehicle speed
increases at a rate of approximately 2 mph (3.2 kph) for each momentary switch activation of the
ACCEL switch.
The PCM also provides a means to decelerate without disengaging speed control. To decelerate
from an existing recorded target speed, depress and hold the COAST switch until the desired
speed is reached. Then release the switch. The ON, OFF switch operates two components: the
PCM's ON, OFF input, and the battery voltage to the brake switch.

Temperature Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The ambient air temperature sensor is a variable resistor that operates on a ground circuit and a
5-volt reference signal circuit sent by the front control module (FCM) through a two-wire lead and
connector of the vehicle wire harness. The ambient air temperature sensor changes its internal
resistance in response to changes in the outside air temperature, which either increases or
decreases the reference signal voltage read by the FCM. The FCM converts and broadcasts the
sensor data over the controller area network (CAN) B bus, where it is read by the A/C-heater
control and other various vehicle control modules.
The ambient air temperature sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Tests and Associated Procedures.
The ambient air temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if
inoperative or damaged See: Sensors and Switches - Instrument Panel/Outside Temperature

GROUP: Heating & Air Conditioning
DATE: April 7, 2010
SUBJECT: No A/C Or Evaporator Freeze Up On Long Trips With Blower In Low Speed Position
OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves adding a resistor 470 ohm resistor in the evaporator
temperature sensor signal circuit.
MODELS:
2004-2009 (HB) Durango

NOTE:
This bulletin applies to all HB/HG vehicles with A/C (sales code HAA or HAB or HAF). This bulletin
does not cover the 2009 HG HEV vehicle.
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
The customers may experience poor A/C, little to no A/C operation or reduced airflow from the
instrument panel vents. This condition often occurs after a extended drive cycle (greater that 2
hours) with the A/C on and the blower speed is set to the low position. Once the vehicle is shut off
or the A/C is turned off for approximately 2 hours the A/C will operate normally.
Adding the resistor to the evaporator temperature sensor signal wire allows the A/C Compressor to
cycle at a higher temperature more frequently to avoid this condition.

DESCRIPTION
The evaporator temperature sensor (1) is an electrical thermistor located within a molded plastic
case that is inserted into the HVAC housing (2) to measure the temperature of the conditioned air
downstream of the A/C evaporator (3). Two terminals within the connector receptacle connect the
sensor to the vehicle electrical system through a wire lead and connector of the HVAC wire
harness.
NOTE: Cutaway of typical HVAC housing shown for clarity in illustration.
The external location of the evaporator temperature sensor allows the sensor to be removed or
installed without disturbing the refrigerant in the A/C system.

Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Front Evaporator
Temperature Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The evaporator temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the conditioned air downstream of
the A/C evaporator and supplies an input signal to the A/C-heater control. The A/C-heater control
uses the evaporator temperature sensor input signal to optimize A/C system performance and to
protect the A/C system from evaporator freezing. The evaporator temperature sensor will change
its internal resistance in response to the temperatures it monitors and is connected to the
A/C-heater control through sensor ground circuit and a 5-volt reference signal circuit. As the
temperature of the A/C evaporator decreases, the internal resistance of the evaporator temperature
sensor decreases. On gasoline engine equipped models, the A/C-heater control uses the
monitored voltage reading as an indication of evaporator temperature and that conditions are
correct to broadcast an A/C request message on the Controller Area Network (CAN) B bus, where
it is read by the Front Control Module (FCM). The FCM then requests the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) to cycle the A/C compressor clutch as necessary over the CAN C bus.
On Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) models, the A/C-heater control calculates an evaporator
temperature target based on A/C load. This target temperature is compared with the actual
evaporator temperature sensor value. Based on this comparison, the A/C-heater control sends out
a compressor target RPM speed over the CAN B bus to the FCM. The FCM then ports the target
message to the electric A/C compressor over the CAN C bus. If the A/C-heater control does not
receive the electric A/C compressor messages, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set.
The evaporator temperature sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Tests and Associated Procedures.
The evaporator temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if
inoperative or damaged.

(EAC) power consumption. The humidity sensor attaches to the interior rear view mirror base (2)
and is connected to the vehicle electrical system by a wire lead and connector of the mirror wire
harness (3).
The humidity sensor can be serviced from the interior rear view mirror without the use of any
special tools.

Humidity Sensor: Description and Operation Humidity Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The humidity sensor detects humidity, dew point, windshield temperature and infrared sensor data
and sends this information to the Hybrid Gateway Module (HGM) via a Local Interconnect Network
(LIN) bus connection. The HGM then sends the message via the Controller Area Network (CAN) C
bus to the Front Control Module (FCM), which ports the message to the A/C-heater control over the
CAN B bus. If the humidity sensor message is not received by the A/C-heater control, the
evaporator logic will be disabled, the evaporator target will be set to 3.3° C (38° F) and a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set. The information the A/C-heater control receives from the
humidity sensor can be viewed using a scan tool.
The humidity sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool See: Powertrain Management/Computers and
Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated
Procedures.
The humidity sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or
damaged.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Front A/C Pressure Transducer Description
DESCRIPTION
The A/C pressure transducer (1) is a switch that is installed on a fitting located on the A/C
discharge line. An internally threaded fitting on the A/C pressure transducer connects it to the
externally threaded Schrader-type fitting on the A/C discharge line. A rubber O-ring seals the
connection between the A/C pressure transducer and the discharge line fitting. The A/C pressure
transducer is connected to the vehicle electrical system by a molded plastic connector with three
terminals.

Page 969
Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Front A/C Pressure Transducer Operation
OPERATION
The A/C pressure transducer monitors the pressures in the high side of the refrigerant system
through its connection to a fitting on the discharge line. The A/C pressure transducer will change its
internal resistance in response to the pressures it monitors. A Schrader-type valve in the discharge
line fitting permits the A/C pressure transducer to be removed or installed without disturbing the
refrigerant in the A/C system.
On gasoline engine models, the Front Control Module (FCM) provides a five volt reference signal to
the A/C pressure transducer, then monitors the output voltage of the A/C pressure transducer on a
sensor return circuit to determine refrigerant pressure. The FCM broadcasts a refrigerant pressure
message to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), which is programmed to respond to the A/C
pressure transducer and other sensor inputs by controlling the operation of the A/C compressor
clutch and the radiator cooling fan to help optimize A/C system performance and to protect the
system components from damage. The PCM will disengage the A/C compressor clutch when high
side pressure rises above 3275 kPa (475 psi) and re-engage the clutch when high side pressure
drops below 1999 kPa (290 psi). The A/C pressure transducer will also disengage the A/C
compressor clutch if the high side pressure drops below 193 kPa (28 psi) and will re-engage the
clutch when the high side pressure rises above 234 kPa (34 psi). If the refrigerant pressure rises
above 1655 kPa (240 psi), the PCM will actuate the cooling fan. The A/C pressure transducer
message to the PCM will also prevent the A/C compressor clutch from engaging when ambient
temperatures are below about 4.5° C (40° F) due to the pressure/temperature relationship of the
refrigerant. See Electric A/C Condenser Cooling Fan Switch Point charts for condenser cooling fan
on/off pressures.
On Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) models, the A/C-heater control receives the A/C pressure
transducer signal from the FCM. The A/C-heater control will then do the following based on head
pressure:
- <= 2.0 Bar (29 psi) Disable compressor for low charge
- > 2.5 Bar (36 psi) Enable compressor
- >= 28 Bar (406 psi) Reduce compressor speed to reduce head pressure
- >= 29.5 Bar (427 psi) Shut down compressor due to high head pressure
- < 21 Bar (306 psi) Re-enable compressor if previously shut down
The A/C pressure transducer is diagnosed using a scan tool See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Tests and Associated Procedures.
The A/C pressure transducer cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or
damaged.

Solar Sensor: Description and Operation Infrared Temperature Sensor - Description
DESCRIPTION
The infrared sensor consists of an infrared transducer (1) located in the overhead console. The
infrared sensor is used only on models equipped with the automatic temperature control (ATC)
heater-A/C system. The infrared transducer is contained within a black molded plastic housing (2)
with an integral wire connector receptacle (3). The integral mounting tab (4) allows the infrared
sensor to be secured with one screw to the overhead console.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - HVAC > Solar Sensor, HVAC > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Infrared Temperature Sensor - Description > Page 983
Solar Sensor: Description and Operation Infrared Temperature Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The infrared sensor detects thermal radiation emitted by the front seat occupants and surroundings
and converts its data into a linear pulse width modulated (PWM) output signal, which is sent to the
compass temperature module (EOM) through a two-wire lead and connector of the headliner wire
harness. The EOM sends a message over the controller area network (CAN) B bus where it is read
by the automatic temperature control (ATC) A/C-heater control. The ATC A/C-heater control uses
the infrared sensor data as one of the inputs necessary to automatically control the interior cabin
temperature level. By using thermal radiation (surface temperature) measurement, rather than an
air temperature measurement, the ATC heating-A/C system is able to adjust itself to the comfort
level as perceived by the occupants. This allows the ATC system to 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 message by calculating and adjusting the air
flow temperature and air flow rate needed to properly obtain and maintain the selected comfort
level temperature of the occupants. The EOM continually monitors the infrared sensor circuits, and
will store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for any problem it detects.
The infrared sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool See: Powertrain Management/Computers and
Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated
Procedures.
The infrared sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or
damaged.

Solar Sensor: Description and Operation Sun Sensor - Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: Typical sun sensor assembly shown.
The automatic temperature control (ATC) heating-A/C system uses a sun sensor assembly (1) to
measure sun light intensity. The sun sensor assembly incorporates two sun sensors (2) within a
molded plastic case which is mounted to the instrument panel and a clear lens (3) that protrudes
through the defroster grille. The wire harness receptacle (4) connects the sun sensors to the
vehicle electrical system through a wire lead and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - HVAC > Solar Sensor, HVAC > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Infrared Temperature Sensor - Description > Page 985
Solar Sensor: Description and Operation Sun Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The ATC dual-zone heating-A/C system uses two sun sensors to balance the system in response
to side-to-side variations in sun light intensity. Passengers in sun and shadow require different
functional settings because they experience very different temperatures. The sun sensor assembly
provides data to the A/C heater control to help determine proper mode and blend-air door positions
and blower motor speeds. The sun sensors are not thermistor type sensors, but rather photo
diodes. For this reason the sun sensors responds to sun light intensity rather than temperature.
The sun sensor assembly is also used to sense day and night conditions for automatic headlight
control, if equipped.
The sun sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool See: Powertrain Management/Computers and
Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated
Procedures.
The sun sensor assembly cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or
damaged.

WARNING: Disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, or
instrument panel component diagnosis or
service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the
airbag system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the
only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in an
accidental airbag deployment and possible severe or fatal injury.
The sun sensor assembly is located so that the sun rays will hit the sensors in the same way that it
will hit the driver and the passenger. It is important that the area in front of the sun sensor
assembly be unobstructed. Check for the following:
- Windshield wipers are properly adjusted.
- Defroster grille and sun sensor is properly installed. The sun sensor lens should protrude above
the defroster grille.
- Any stickers on the windshield are not directly in front of the sun sensor.
- Any items laying on top of the instrument panel are not covering the sun sensor.
If the vehicle exhibits a lack of passenger comfort in sunny weather such as in the early afternoon,
inspect the position of the sun sensor assembly. The sun sensor lens should protrude above the
defroster grille to insure proper operation. If the sun sensor is not properly positioned, perform the
following procedure:
1. Confirm that the defroster grille is properly installed. If not, repair as required. 2. Remove the
defroster grille and verify that the sun sensor is properly installed to the defroster grill See: Service
and Repair/Sun Sensor Installation.
3. Reinstall the defroster grille.
The A/C-heater control continually monitors the sun sensor circuits and will store diagnostic trouble
codes (DTCs) for any problem it detects. The sun sensor can be tested in the vehicle with a scan
tool See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and
Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures.

Door Switch: Description and Operation Door Ajar Switch - Description
DOOR
This vehicle has four door ajar switches, one for each door. Each switch is concealed within and
integral to its respective door latch unit. The switches are momentary leaf contact-type units that
are actuated by the mechanisms internal to the door latch. A short pigtail wire and connector on
each door latch connects the door ajar switch to the vehicle electrical system through its respective
door wire harness.
The door ajar switches cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the door latch
unit must be replaced. See: Body and Frame/Doors, Hood and Trunk/Doors/Front Door/Front Door

Door Switch: Description and Operation Door Ajar Switch - Operation
DOOR
The door ajar switches are actuated by the mechanisms internal to the door latch. When a door is
closed and properly latched, its door ajar switch is an open circuit. When a door is open or only
partially latched, the door ajar switch is a closed circuit. The rear door ajar switches are hard wired
in series between a body ground and the Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also
known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). On vehicles not equipped with the optional memory
system, the front door ajar switches are also hard wired in series between ground and the EMIC.
On vehicles equipped with the optional memory system each front door ajar switch is hard wired in
series between ground and its respective driver or passenger Memory Mirror Module (MMM)
located in the front door. The MMM then sends electronic door ajar switch status messages to the
EMIC over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. Both the EMIC and the MMM read the
hard wired door ajar switch inputs through internal pull-ups, then use these inputs to control many
electronic functions and features of the vehicle.
The door ajar switches as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switches may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Outside Temperature Display Sensor: Description and Operation Ambient Temperature Sensor Description
DESCRIPTION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable resistor mounted to a bracket that is secured with a
screw to the right side of the radiator yoke, behind the radiator grille and in front of the engine
compartment.
For complete circuit diagrams refer to Wiring. The ambient temperature sensor cannot be adjusted

Outside Temperature Display Sensor: Description and Operation Ambient Temperature Sensor Operation
OPERATION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable resistor that operates on a five-volt reference signal
sent to it by the A/C-heater control. The resistance in the sensor changes as temperature changes,
changing the temperature sensor signal circuit voltage to the A/C-heater control. Based upon the
resistance in the sensor, the A/C-heater control senses a specific voltage on the temperature
sensor signal circuit, which it is programmed to correspond to a specific temperature.

Outside Temperature Display Sensor: Testing and Inspection
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The temperature function is supported by the ambient temperature sensor, a wiring circuit, the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus circuit and the Integrated Power Module (IPM). When the
sensor is exposed to temperatures above 55° C (131° F), or if the sensor circuit is shorted, 60° C
(130/140° F) will appear in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) display in place of the
temperature. When the sensor is exposed to temperatures below -40° C (-40° F) or if the sensor
circuit is open, - - ° C (- - ° F) will be displayed on the EVIC.
The ambient temperature sensor and circuit can also be diagnosed using the following Sensor
Test, and Sensor Circuit Test. If the temperature sensor and circuit are confirmed to be OK, but the
temperature display is inoperative or incorrect, further testing of the CAN data bus, IPM and base
EVIC system is necessary.
SENSOR TEST
1. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor harness
connector. 2. Measure the resistance of the ambient temperature sensor. At - 40° C (- 40° F), the
sensor resistance is 336 kilo ohms. At 55° C (130° F), the
sensor resistance is 2.488 kilo ohms. The sensor resistance should read between these two
values. If OK, perform further diagnosis of the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
system, See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Driver/Vehicle Information Display/Testing and
Inspection. If not OK, replace the inoperative ambient temperature sensor.
SENSOR CIRCUIT TEST
For complete circuit 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. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Disconnect the wire harness connector from the
ambient temperature sensor.
NOTE: Temperature readings do not update immediately. Allow up to 60 seconds after the ignition
switch is turned to the On position for
readings to meet test specifications.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. The EVIC display should now read - - ° C (- - ° F). If
OK, go to 3. If not OK, repair the shorted sensor
return circuit or ambient temperature sensor signal circuit to the ambient temperature sensor as
required.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Taking care not to damage the wire terminals,
connect a jumper wire between the two terminals in the
body half of the ambient temperature sensor harness connector. Turn the ignition switch to the On
position. The EVIC display should now read 60 ° C (130/140° F). If OK, go to 4. If not OK, repair
the open sensor return circuit or ambient temperature sensor signal circuit to the ambient
temperature sensor as required.
NOTE: If the EVIC display does not show the ambient temperature in step 4, the vehicle may need
to be driven several miles at a speed
greater than 32 km/h (20 mph) for the temperature to update.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Remove the jumper wire. Turn the ignition switch to
the On position and wait until the EVIC display
again reads - - ° C (- - ° F). Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Reconnect the ambient
temperature sensor. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. The EVIC display should now read
the ambient temperature. If OK, the problem is intermittent. Perform further diagnosis while
manipulating the related wire harnesses and components. If not OK, go to 5
5. Clear any Diagnostic Trouble Codes that may have been set while performing the test. Perform
further diagnosis of the CAN data bus circuit, the
IPM and the ambient temperature sensor (refer to the SENSOR TEST).

DESCRIPTION
The brake lamp switch (2) is a three circuit, spring-loaded plunger actuated switch that is secured
to the steering column support bracket under the instrument panel on the driver side of the vehicle.
The molded plastic switch housing has an integral connector receptacle (1) containing six terminal
pins and featuring a Connector Position Assurance (CPA) lock. The switch is connected to the
vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out of the instrument panel wire harness.
The switch plunger (3) extends through a mounting collar (4) on one end of the switch housing. The
plunger has a one time telescoping self-adjustment feature that is activated after the switch is
installed by moving an adjustment release lever (5) on the opposite end of the switch housing
clockwise, until it locks into a position that is horizontal and parallel to the connector receptacle.
An installed brake lamp switch cannot be readjusted or repaired. If the switch is damaged,
ineffective, or removed from its mounting position for any reason, it must be replaced with a new
unit.

Brake Light Switch: Description and Operation Stop Lamp Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The brake lamp switch controls three independent circuits. These circuits are described as follows:
- Brake Lamp Switch Circuit - A normally open brake lamp switch circuit receives a battery voltage
input, and supplies this battery voltage to the brake lamps and the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB)
on a brake lamp switch output circuit only when the brake pedal is depressed (brake lamp switch
plunger released).
- Brake Lamp Switch Signal Circuit - A normally closed brake lamp switch signal circuit receives a
direct path to ground, and supplies this ground input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on a
brake lamp switch sense circuit only when the brake pedal is released (brake lamp switch plunger
is depressed).
- Speed Control Circuit - A normally closed speed control circuit receives a battery voltage input
from the Powertrain Control Module on a speed control supply circuit, and supplies this battery
voltage to the speed control servo solenoids (dump, vacuum, and vent) on a speed control brake
switch output circuit only when the speed control system is turned ON and the brake pedal is
released (brake lamp switch plunger is depressed).
The components of the self-adjusting brake switch plunger consist of a two-piece telescoping
plunger, a split plunger locking collar, and a release wedge. The release lever has a shaft with a
wedge that spreads the plunger locking collar to an open or released position. After the switch is
installed and the brake pedal is released, the plunger telescopes to the correct adjustment position.
When the release lever is moved to the release position, the wedge is disengaged from the locking
collar causing the collar to apply a clamping pressure to the two plunger halves, fixing the plunger
length.
The brake lamp switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Combination Switch: Description and Operation Multifunction Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The multi-function switch (3) is located on the steering column, just below the steering wheel. The
only visible components of the multi-function switch are the control stalk (2) and control knob (1)
that extend through the steering column shrouds on the left side of the column, and the hazard
warning push button (4) that extends through the shroud on the top of the column. The remainder
of the switch including its mounting provisions, its electrical connection, and the turn signal cancel
actuator (5) are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing and controls are constructed of molded black plastic. Each of the switch
controls has white International Control and Display Symbol graphics applied to it, which clearly
identify its many functions. Three integral locating posts on the switch housing, one on the top and
two on the bottom, slide into channels in a receptacle on the left side of the multi-function switch
mounting housing near the top of the steering column to ensure proper positioning of the switch.
Then two screws secure the switch to the mounting housing. A single integral connector receptacle
containing four terminal pins on the back of the switch housing connects the switch to the vehicle
electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The multi-function switch provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the following
functions:
- Front Washer Control - The multi-function switch control knob provides a momentary front WASH
position for front washer system operation.
- Front Wiper Control - The multi-function switch control knob provides two continuous front wipe
switch positions, LOW speed or HIGH speed; and an intermittent front wipe mode with five delay
interval positions.
Hazard Warning Control - The multi-function switch hazard warning push button provides two
detent positions (ON and OFF) to control the hazard warning lamps.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The multi-function switch control stalk provides detent switching for
selection of the headlamp HIGH or LOW beams. There is also an intermediate momentary position
that allows the headlamp high beam circuits to be momentarily flashed to provide an optical horn
feature (sometimes referred to as flash-to-pass) as an optical signalling device.
- Turn Signal Control - The multi-function switch control stalk provides momentary non-detent (lane
change) switching or detent switching with automatic cancellation for both the left and right turn
signal lamps.
The multi-function switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If any function of the switch is ineffective,
or if the switch is damaged, the entire switch must be replaced as a unit.

Combination Switch: Description and Operation Multifunction Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The multi-function switch uses resistor multiplexing to control the many functions and features it
provides using only three hard wired output circuits. The switch receives a clean ground from the
Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN)
on a multi-function switch return circuit. It then provides outputs to the EMIC on a wash/beam
select switch signal circuit to control front washer and headlamp beam selection, on an intermittent
wiper switch signal circuit to control front wipers, and on a turn lamps switch signal circuit to control
turn signal and hazard warning functions.
The multi-function switch operates as follows:
- Front Washer Control - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch control stalk is
depressed towards the steering column to momentarily activate the washer pump in the front
WASH mode. The washer pump will continue to operate in the front washer mode until the control
knob is released or for 10 continuous seconds, whichever occurs first. The multi-function switch
provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic front washer switch
status messages to the Front Control Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus. The FCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the washer pump in the front washer
mode.
- Front Wiper Control - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch control stalk is
rotated to one of the continuous front wiper detents, to one of five intermittent wiper detents, or to
the OFF position to select the front wiper mode. The multi-function switch provides an output to the
EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic front wiper switch status messages to the
FCM over the CAN data bus. The FCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the wiper on/off
and high/low relays in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) for front wiper system control.
- Hazard Warning Control - The hazard warning push button of the multi-function switch is
depressed to activate the hazard warning system, and depressed again to turn the system OFF.
When the push button is actuated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and
the EMIC responds by sending electronic hazard switch status messages to the FCM over the CAN
data bus. The FCM then energizes and flashes or de-energizes both the left and right turn signal
circuits to provide the visual hazard warning.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The control stalk of the multi-function switch is pulled towards the
steering wheel past a detent to actuate the integral beam select switch circuitry, or to an
intermediate, momentary position before the detent to actuate the optical horn feature. Each time
the control stalk is actuated to a detent position, the opposite headlamp beam from what is
currently selected will be energized. Each time the control stalk is actuated to the momentary
position with the headlamps turned OFF, the headlamp high beams will be illuminated for as long
as the control stalk is held in this position. The multi-function switch provides an output to the
EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic beam select switch status messages to the
FCM over the CAN data bus. The FCM energizes or de-energizes the selected LOW or HIGH
beam circuits.
- Turn Signal Control - The control stalk of the multi-function switch is moved upward to activate the
RIGHT turn signal circuitry, and, downward to activate the LEFT turn signal circuitry. The turn
signal switch has a detent position in each direction that provides turn signals with automatic
cancellation, and an intermediate, momentary position in each direction that automatically provides
three turn signal blinks as a LANE CHANGE feature when the control stalk is tapped or will
energize the turn signals for as long as the control stalk is held in the momentary position. When
the control stalk is moved to a detent turn signal switch position, the cancel actuator extends
toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is integral to the clockspring
rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the cancel actuator when it is extended
from the multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated during a turning maneuver, one
of the two turn signal cancel cam lobes will contact the turn signal cancel actuator. The cancel
actuator latches against the cancel cam rotation in the direction opposite that which is signaled. If
the LEFT turn signal detent is selected, the lobes of the cancel cam will ratchet past the cancel
actuator when the steering wheel is rotated to the left, but will unlatch the cancel actuator as the
steering wheel rotates to the right and returns to center, which will cancel the turn signal event and
release the control stalk from the detent so it returns to the neutral OFF position. When a turn
signal is activated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC
responds by sending electronic turn signal switch status messages to the FCM over the CAN data
bus. The FCM energizes and flashes or de-energizes the selected left or right turn signal circuits.
The multi-function switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

This vehicle has four door ajar switches, one for each door. Each switch is concealed within and
integral to its respective door latch unit. The switches are momentary leaf contact-type units that
are actuated by the mechanisms internal to the door latch. A short pigtail wire and connector on
each door latch connects the door ajar switch to the vehicle electrical system through its respective
door wire harness.
The door ajar switches cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the door latch
unit must be replaced. See: Body and Frame/Doors, Hood and Trunk/Doors/Front Door/Front Door

Door Switch: Description and Operation Door Ajar Switch - Operation
DOOR
The door ajar switches are actuated by the mechanisms internal to the door latch. When a door is
closed and properly latched, its door ajar switch is an open circuit. When a door is open or only
partially latched, the door ajar switch is a closed circuit. The rear door ajar switches are hard wired
in series between a body ground and the Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also
known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). On vehicles not equipped with the optional memory
system, the front door ajar switches are also hard wired in series between ground and the EMIC.
On vehicles equipped with the optional memory system each front door ajar switch is hard wired in
series between ground and its respective driver or passenger Memory Mirror Module (MMM)
located in the front door. The MMM then sends electronic door ajar switch status messages to the
EMIC over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. Both the EMIC and the MMM read the
hard wired door ajar switch inputs through internal pull-ups, then use these inputs to control many
electronic functions and features of the vehicle.
The door ajar switches as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switches may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Headlamp Switch: Description and Operation Headlamp Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The headlamp switch (1) is located on the instrument panel, to the left of the steering column.
Three different switches are used. The standard switch features a three-position rotary knob (4) for
exterior lighting control and a thumbwheel (2) for panel lamps dimming and interior lighting control.
An optional switch has a momentary push button (3) added for front fog lamp control. A second
optional switch has the same thumbwheel and momentary push button, but has a fourth position
added to the rotary knob for selecting the optional automatic headlamps feature.
Each of these switches is constructed of molded plastic. The rotary knob is molded plastic and
knurled around its circumference to ease operator control. The thumbwheel is also plastic and
knurled. The optional front fog lamp push button is plastic with a smooth finish and an International
Control and Display Symbol icon for Front Fog Light applied to it. The switch face plate is also
labeled with graphics and icons to clearly identify the many functions of the rotary knob and
thumbwheel.
Three screws secure the switch to the back of the cluster bezel through integral mounting flanges
that are molded to each side of the switch housing. The back of the switch housing has an integral
connector receptacle containing terminal pins that connect the switch to the vehicle electrical
system through a dedicated take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness. A panel
dimmer controlled incandescent bulb soldered to the circuit board within the switch provides back
lighting for visibility at night, but is not serviceable.
The headlamp switch cannot be repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, it must be replaced.

Headlamp Switch: Description and Operation Headlamp Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The headlamp switch uses two resistor multiplexed outputs to control the many functions and
features it provides. The switch receives a clean ground from the Electro mechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) on a headlamp switch return
circuit. It then provides outputs to the EMIC on a headlamp switch signal circuit to control exterior
lighting functions, and on a panel lamps dimmer signal circuit to control panel dimmer and interior
lighting functions.
The switch illumination circuit receives a path to ground at all times through the left instrument
panel ground circuit. The illumination level is controlled by a Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM) output
received from the EMIC on a headlamp switch illumination control circuit. The EMIC controls this
output based upon the dimmer signal select mux input from the headlamp switch.
The headlamp switch operates as follows:
- Front Fog Lamps Control - For vehicles so equipped, the fog lamp push button on the headlamp
switch is depressed to activate or deactivate the optional front fog lamps. The headlamp switch
provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic fog lamp switch
status messages to the Front Control Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus. The FCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the front fog lamp relay in the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) and by sending an electronic message back to the EMIC to control the
front fog lamp indicator.
- Exterior Lighting Control - The rotary knob on the headlamp switch is rotated to a detent position
to activate or deactivate the exterior lighting. The headlamp switch provides an output to the EMIC,
and the EMIC responds by sending electronic exterior lighting switch status messages to the FCM
over the CAN data bus. The FCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the park lamp relay in
the PDC and the high or low beam headlamp circuits, and by sending an electronic message back
to the EMIC to control the high beam indicator. The FCM also remembers which headlamp beams
were last selected using the multi-function switch, and energizes those beams by default the next
time the headlamps are turned ON. If the vehicle is equipped with optional automatic headlamps
and the A (Automatic) position is selected, the EMIC also monitors an input from a sun load sensor
on the instrument panel and, based upon the monitored ambient light levels, responds by
automatically sending appropriate messages to the FCM to turn the exterior lighting ON or OFF
while the ignition switch is in the ON position.
- Interior Lighting Control - The thumbwheel on the headlamp switch is rotated to the dome
DEFEAT, dome ON, PARADE mode, or one of the six panel dimmer detent positions to control the
interior courtesy/dome and panel lamps. The headlamp switch provides an output to the EMIC, and
the EMIC responds by providing the appropriate interior lighting control outputs through its internal
courtesy lamp driver circuits, electronic dimming level messages to other modules over the CAN
data bus, and the proper PWM outputs to control dimming levels through several panel dimmer
illumination control driver circuits.
The headlamp switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

The CMP sensor is used in conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to differentiate between
fuel injection and spark events. It is also used to synchronize the fuel injectors with their respective
cylinders. The sensor generates electrical pulses. These pulses (signals) are sent to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). The PCM will then determine crankshaft position from both the camshaft
position sensor and crankshaft position sensor.
The tonewheel is located at the front of the camshaft (2). As the tonewheel rotates, notches (3)
pass through the sync signal generator.
When the cam gear is rotating, the sensor will detect the notches. Input voltage from the sensor to
the PCM will then switch from a low (approximately 0.3 volts) to a high (approximately 5 volts).
When the sensor detects a notch has passed, the input voltage switches back low to approximately
0.3 volts.

Engine speed and crankshaft position are provided through the crankshaft position sensor. The
sensor generates pulses that are the input sent to the powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM
interprets the sensor input to determine the crankshaft position. The PCM then uses this position,
along with other inputs, to determine injector sequence and ignition timing.
The sensor is a hall effect device combined with an internal magnet. It is also sensitive to steel
within a certain distance from it.
On the 5.7L V-8 engine, a tonewheel is bolted to the engine crankshaft. This tonewheel has sets of
notches (3) at its outer edge.
The notches cause a pulse to be generated when they pass under the sensor. The pulses are the
input to the PCM.

- Separate fuel pick-up, or inlet filter (3)
- Fuel pressure regulator (4)
- Variable speed fuel pump (2)
- Lock ring to retain the pump module to the tank
- O-ring gasket between the tank flange and pump module
- Fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor) (1)
- Fuel line connection (6)
If the fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor), variable speed fuel pump, primary inlet filter, fuel
filter or fuel pressure regulator require service, the variable speed fuel pump module must be
replaced as a unit.
Variable Speed Fuel Pump
The Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) uses a variable speed fuel pump module, an additional fuel
pump speed relay and a resistor to provide low speed capability to the fuel pump system. A
diagnostic monitor circuit allows the PCM to verify operation of the following two circuits:
- Fuel pump relay control circuit which results in closing the fuel pump relay allowing current to flow
through the fuel pump speed relay for high speed fuel pump operation.
- Fuel pump speed relay control circuit which results in closing the fuel pump relay and fuel pump
speed relay allowing current to flow through the resistor for low speed fuel pump operation.
The variable speed fuel pump is not a separate, serviceable component.
Fuel Filters
Two fuel filters are used. One is located at the bottom of the fuel pump module. The other is
located inside the module. A separate frame mounted fuel filter is not used.
Both fuel filters are designed for extended service. They do not require normal scheduled
maintenance. Filters should only be replaced if a diagnostic procedure indicates to do so.
Fuel Pressure Regulator
The fuel pressure regulator is located within the fuel pump module and is not a separate,
serviceable component.
Fuel Gauge Sending Unit (fuel level sensor)
The fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor) is attached to the side of the fuel pump module. The
sending unit consists of a float, a float arm, and a variable resistor track (card).

DESCRIPTION
The 2-wire Intake Manifold Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is installed in the intake manifold with the
sensor element extending into the air stream.
The IAT sensor is a two-wire Negative Thermal Coefficient (NTC) sensor. Meaning, as intake
manifold temperature increases, resistance (voltage) in the sensor decreases. As temperature
decreases, resistance (voltage) in the sensor increases.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation Intake Air Temperature Sensor Operation
OPERATION
The IAT sensor provides an input voltage to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) indicating the
density of the air entering the intake manifold based upon intake manifold temperature. At key-on,
a 5-volt power circuit is supplied to the sensor from the PCM. The sensor is grounded at the PCM
through a low-noise, sensor-return circuit.
The PCM uses this input to calculate the following:
- Injector pulse-width
- Adjustment of spark timing (to help prevent spark knock with high intake manifold air-charge
temperatures)
The resistance values of the IAT sensor is the same as for the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
sensor.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Knock Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
When the knock sensor detects a knock in one of the cylinders on the corresponding bank, it sends
an input signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). In response, the PCM retards ignition
timing for all cylinders by a scheduled amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric crystal 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 the knock sensor voltage signal as an input. 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 long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). The PCM, using
short term memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term
memory is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance,
possibly causing improper spark control.
Always use the specified torque when installing the knock sensors.

Manifold Pressure/Vacuum Sensor: Description and Operation
OPERATION
The MAP sensor is used as an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). It contains 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 manifold absolute pressure (MAP) equals Barometric pressure, the pulse
width will be at maximum.
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. To operate the sensor, it is supplied a regulated 4.8 to 5.1
volts. Ground is provided through the low-noise, sensor return circuit at the PCM.
The MAP sensor input is the number one contributor to fuel injector 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 at a higher altitude, because the air density changes with
altitude. It will also help to correct for varying barometric pressure. Barometric pressure and altitude
have a direct inverse correlation; as altitude goes up, barometric goes down. At key-on, the PCM
powers up and looks at 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 voltage 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 a known good sensor.
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 (WOT), based upon Throttle Position Sensor (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 input to aid in calculating the following:
- Manifold pressure
- Barometric pressure
- Engine load
- Injector pulse-width
- Spark-advance programs
- Shift-point strategies (certain automatic transmissions only)
- Idle speed
- Decel fuel shutoff
The MAP sensor signal is provided from a single piezoresistive element located in the center of a
diaphragm. The element and diaphragm are both made of silicone. As manifold pressure changes,
the diaphragm moves causing the element to deflect, which stresses the silicone. When silicone is
exposed to stress, its resistance changes. As manifold vacuum increases, the MAP sensor input
voltage decreases proportionally. The sensor also contains electronics that condition the signal and
provide temperature compensation.
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;
meaning 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 approximately 29.92 in Hg. For every 100 feet of altitude,
barometric pressure drops 0.10 in. Hg. If a storm goes through, it can change barometric pressure
from what should be present for that altitude. You should know what the average pressure and
corresponding barometric pressure is for your area.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation Transmission Range Sensor Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
There are many possible combinations of open and closed switches (codes). This results in many
codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes. An invalid code will result in a
DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based on pressure switch data. This
allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS) is a linear potentiometer. It provides the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) with a DC voltage signal proportional to the angle, or position of the
accelerator pedal. The APPS signal is translated (along with other sensors) to place the throttle
plate (within the throttle body) to a pre-determined position.

Fuel Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION - HEV
The fuel tank pressure sensor provides the PCM with information on vapor pressure inside the fuel
tank. The sensor is a diaphragm-type pressure sensor and varies its voltage output depending on
fuel tank pressure. When the fuel tank isolation valve is activated (closed), preventing fuel vapors
from leaving the tank, the PCM will monitor the fuel tank pressure sensor to prevent pressure from
increasing or decreasing to an unsafe level.
Excessive fuel tank pressure could cause fuel vapors to vent out the fuel cap or damage system
components while insufficient fuel tank pressure (vacuum) caused by lack of air entering the tank to
take the place of consumed fuel could lead to collapsed tank, lines or loss of fuel pressure.

The CMP sensor is used in conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to differentiate between
fuel injection and spark events. It is also used to synchronize the fuel injectors with their respective
cylinders. The sensor generates electrical pulses. These pulses (signals) are sent to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). The PCM will then determine crankshaft position from both the camshaft
position sensor and crankshaft position sensor.
The tonewheel is located at the front of the camshaft (2). As the tonewheel rotates, notches (3)
pass through the sync signal generator.
When the cam gear is rotating, the sensor will detect the notches. Input voltage from the sensor to
the PCM will then switch from a low (approximately 0.3 volts) to a high (approximately 5 volts).
When the sensor detects a notch has passed, the input voltage switches back low to approximately
0.3 volts.

Engine speed and crankshaft position are provided through the crankshaft position sensor. The
sensor generates pulses that are the input sent to the powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM
interprets the sensor input to determine the crankshaft position. The PCM then uses this position,
along with other inputs, to determine injector sequence and ignition timing.
The sensor is a hall effect device combined with an internal magnet. It is also sensitive to steel
within a certain distance from it.
On the 5.7L V-8 engine, a tonewheel is bolted to the engine crankshaft. This tonewheel has sets of
notches (3) at its outer edge.
The notches cause a pulse to be generated when they pass under the sensor. The pulses are the
input to the PCM.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Knock Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
When the knock sensor detects a knock in one of the cylinders on the corresponding bank, it sends
an input signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). In response, the PCM retards ignition
timing for all cylinders by a scheduled amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric crystal 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 the knock sensor voltage signal as an input. 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 long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). The PCM, using
short term memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term
memory is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance,
possibly causing improper spark control.
Always use the specified torque when installing the knock sensors.

The front impact sensors are electronic accelerometers that sense the rate of vehicle deceleration,
which provides verification of the direction and severity of an impact. Each sensor also contains an
electronic communication chip that allows the unit to communicate the sensor status as well as
sensor fault information to the microprocessor in the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC).
The ORC microprocessor continuously monitors all of the passive restraint system electrical
circuits to determine the system readiness. If the ORC detects a monitored system fault, it sets a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and controls the airbag indicator operation accordingly. The impact
sensors each receive battery current and ground through dedicated left and right sensor plus and
minus circuits from the ORC. The impact sensors and the ORC communicate by modulating the
voltage in the sensor plus circuit.
The hard wired circuits between the front impact sensors and the ORC may be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the impact
sensors or the electronic controls or communication between other modules and devices that
provide features of the supplemental restraint system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the impact sensors or the electronic controls and communication related to
front impact sensor operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

Seat Belt Buckle Switch: Description and Operation Driver Seat Belt Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The seat belt switch (4) is a small, normally open, single pole, single throw, plunger (3) actuated,
momentary switch. One seat belt switch is installed on the seat belt retractor frame (2) over the
retractor spool (1) for the driver side front seat. The seat belt switch includes an integral connector
that is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a take out and connector of the body wire
harness.
The seat belt switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the entire front
seat belt and retractor unit must be replaced.

Seat Belt Buckle Switch: Description and Operation Driver Seat Belt Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The seat belt switch is designed to control a path to ground for the seat belt switch sense input of
the Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN). The seat belt switch plunger is actuated by the seat belt webbing wound onto the seat
belt retractor spool. When the seat belt tip-half webbing is pulled out of the retractor far enough to
engage the seat belt buckle-half, the switch plunger is extended and closes the seat belt switch
sense circuit to ground. Conversely, when the seat belt tip-half webbing is wound onto the retractor
spool the switch plunger is depressed, opening the ground path.
The EMIC monitors the seat belt switch status, then controls the illumination of the seatbelt
indicator and the generation of audible electronic chime tones based upon that input. The seat belt
switch receives ground through its connection to the body wire harness from another take out of
the body wire harness. An eyelet terminal connector on that ground take out is secured under a
ground screw. The seat belt switch is connected in series between ground and the seat belt switch
sense input of the EMIC.
The seat belt switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

Seat Position Sensor: Description and Operation Seat Track Position Sensor - Description
DESCRIPTION
The seat track position sensor (1) is a Hall Effect-type sensor. This sensor consists of a Hall Effect
Integrated Circuit (IC) chip encased in potting material within a cavity of the molded plastic sensor
housing.
The sensor housing has two integral snap features (3) and snaps into a stamped metal bracket
located on the inboard side of one of the seat adjuster tracks on the front seat of vehicles so
equipped. A molded connector receptacle (2) integral to the sensor housing is connected to the
vehicle electrical system through a connector and take out of the seat wire harness beneath the
front seat cushion frame.
The seat track position sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the
entire sensor must be replaced.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Seat Track Position Sensor - Description > Page 1384
Seat Position Sensor: Description and Operation Seat Track Position Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The seat track position sensor is designed to provide a seat position data input to the Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) indicating whether the driver side front seat is in a full forward or a not
full forward position. The ORC uses this data as an additional logic input for use in determining the
appropriate deployment force to be used when deploying the multistage driver side front airbag.
The seat track position sensor receives a nominal five volt supply from the ORC. The sensor
communicates the seat position by modulating the voltage returned to the ORC on a sensor data
circuit. The ORC also monitors the condition of the sensor circuits and will store a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that is detected. The ORC then sends messages over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to control the illumination of the airbag indicator in the
Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN).
The hard wired circuits between the seat track position sensor and the ORC may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the seat
track position sensor or the electronic controls and communication between other modules and
devices that provide features of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). The most reliable,
efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the seat track position sensor or the electronic controls
and communication related to seat track position sensor operation requires the use of a diagnostic
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures have been established for the tire size
equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. After-market wheels can
cause sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire sealants or balance beads if your vehicle is
equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
NOTE: After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always reinstall the valve stem cap. This will
prevent moisture and dirt from entering
the valve stem, which could damage the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor.
CAUTION: Tire pressure sensor valve stem caps and cores are specially designed for the sensors.
Due to risk of corrosion, do not use a
standard valve stem cap or core in a tire pressure sensor in place of the original equipment style
sensor cap and core.
CAUTION: After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always reinstall the valve stem cap. This
will prevent moisture and dirt from
entering the valve stem, which could damage the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new seal, cap and valve core must
be installed on the stem to ensure air tight
sealing.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system
accuracy.

CAUTION: Although 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and shape, they are not
interchangeable. Always make sure the
correct sensor is being used.
NOTE: Domestic vehicles, use the 315 MHz TPM sensors with the BLACK sensor body. For Export
vehicles, use the 433 MHz TPM sensors
with the GREY sensor body. Although 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and
shape, they are not interchangeable. Always make sure the correct color sensor is being used. A
RKE-TPM Analyzer can be used to determine the sensor's frequency without having to dismount
the tire.
NOTE: If aftermarket wheels are installed and do not contain tire pressure sensors, the system will
not function properly and the driver will
be continuously notified of a system malfunction.
The TPM sensors are designed for original style factory wheels. It is not recommended to install a
tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. (This could cause sealing and system performance
issues).

The serviceable components of the tire pressure sensor are:
- Sensor-To-Wheel Seal (4)
- Valve Stem Cap (2)
- Valve Stem Core
- Valve Stem Nut (3)
The valve stem caps and cores used are specifically designed for the tire pressure monitoring
sensors. Although similar to standard valve stem caps and cores, they are different. The valve
stem cap has a special seal inside to keep moisture and corrosion out. The valve stem core has a
special nickel coating to protect from corrosion.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensor Operation
OPERATION
The battery operated tire pressure sensor is both a transmitter and a receiver. The TPM sensor can
be forced to transmit if using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor's operating mode and to diagnose a
faulty TPM sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission
from a sensor. The TPM sensor can be in one of the following modes:
- Sleep Mode - A new TPM sensor will be in this mode. If placed on the vehicle as a road tire, the
TPM sensor will transmit once every 20 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15 mph
(24 km/h). If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a pressure change greater
then 1 psi (6.9 kPA). Driving the vehicle continuously at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h) for more
then 4 minutes will change the sensor state into 30 BLOCK MODE. The TPM sensor will not return
to SLEEP MODE. Now, if the vehicle has been stopped for 20 minutes, the TPM sensor state will
change to PARK MODE.
- Park Mode - This is the correct operating mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will
transmit once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 1 PSI delta change. The
sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to determine a change
in tire pressure
30 Block Mode - If the vehicle has been stopped for more then 20 minutes, or if the sensor's
operating mode was forced to Park Mode using a TPM-RKE Analyzer, the sensor's operating mode
will transition from Park Mode to 30 Block Mode once the vehicle is driven over 15mph. In this
mode, the sensor will transmit once every 15 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15
mph (24 km/h) for the first 30 transmissions. After about 8 minutes of continuous driving above 15
mph (24 km/h), the sensor's mode will change to Drive Mode
- Drive Mode - In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every minute when the vehicle is driven
at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). At any time that the vehicle speed drops below 15mph, the
sensor will not transmit. The sensor mode will still be in drive mode when the sensor reaches
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). If the vehicle has been stationary for more then 20 minutes, the
TPM sensor will change to PARK MODE.
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the wireless control module (WCM)
can monitor the state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The WCM can
automatically learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 10 minutes continuously above
15 m.p.h. (24 Km/h)" after a sensor has been replaced, The vehicle must be stationary for more
then 20 minutes in order to initiate the learning sequence.
The sensor IDs can also be programmed using the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool. Scan each TPM
sensor at each road wheel, and store each Sensor ID in the correct location. (LEFT FRONT, LEFT
REAR, RIGHT FRONT, and RIGHT REAR) Connect the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool to the Scan Tool.
Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic Scan Tool for "Program Tire Pressure
Sensor ID w/ TPM Tool" under "MISC" for the "WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE".

REMOVAL
1. Raise and support vehicle. 2. Remove tire and wheel assembly.
CAUTION: The cap used on this valve stem contains an O-ring seal to prevent contamination and
moisture from entering the valve stem. Do
not substitute a regular valve stem cap in its place.
CAUTION: The valve stem used on this vehicle is made of aluminum and the core is nickel plated
brass. The original valve stem core must be
reinstalled and not substituted with a valve stem core made of a different material. This is required
to prevent corrosion in the valve stem caused by the different metals.
3. Dismount tire from wheel following tire changer manufacturers instructions while paying special
attention to the following to avoid damaging the
pressure sensor: a. When breaking the tire bead loose from the wheel rim, avoid using the Bead
Breaker in the area of the sensor (1). That includes both outer and
inner beads of the tire.
b. When preparing to dismount the tire from the wheel, carefully insert the mounting/dismounting
tool 280° from the valve stem ± 10°, then
proceed to dismount the tire from the wheel. Use this process on both outer and inner tire beads.

Overdrive Switch: Description and Operation Overdrive Lockout Switch - Operation
OPERATION
Tow/haul is only used in the D position. When used while towing, the electronic control module
(ECU) commands hybrid system to create more positive axle torque to the wheels. When used
while coasting downhill and the vehicle gains speed, the ECU commands the hybrid system to
create more negative axle torque to the wheels, helping the vehicle to maintain the correct speed.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) stores a target speed when the accelerator and brake are
released, if vehicle speed increases due to a hill, then additional negative wheel torque is added to
the PCMs wheel torque request.
The Hybrid Control Processor (HCP) follows the PCMs command and downshifts as required to
meet the negative torque request.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation Transmission Range Sensor Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
There are many possible combinations of open and closed switches (codes). This results in many
codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes. An invalid code will result in a
DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based on pressure switch data. This
allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

OPERATION
The transmission temperature sensor is used by the TCM to sense the temperature of the fluid in
the sump. Since fluid temperature can affect transmission shift quality, the TCM requires this
information to determine which shift schedule to operate in.
Calculated Temperature
A failure in the temperature sensor or circuit will result in calculated temperature being substituted
for actual temperature. Calculated temperature is a predicted fluid temperature which is calculated
from a combination of inputs:
- Battery (ambient) temperature.
- Engine coolant temperature.
- In-gear run time since start-up.

DESCRIPTION
The transfer case encoder (3) provides the Drive Train Control Module (DTCM) feedback about the
position of the transfer case. The sensor consists of a linear analog position sensor that converts
the motor output shaft position into a DC signal. The sensor may rotate a full 360 degrees. When
the DTCM is not in sleep mode, it must supply 5 VDC (+/- 0.5 v) to the sensor and monitor the shift
motor position. The sensor position is monitored when the ignition is in the RUN position and for 10
seconds after the ignition is turned to the OFF position. The sensor is mechanically linked to the
shaft of the cam allowing the transfer case to shift. The mode sensor draws less than 20 mA of
current during operation.

DESCRIPTION
The switch for the rear window defogger (EBL) system (2) is integrated into the A/C-heater control
(1) located in the center of the instrument panel. When the rear window defogger switch is
activated, the timing circuit integral to the A/C-heater control operates the rear window defogger
(EBL) relay. An amber indicator (3) in the rear window defogger switch will illuminate to indicate
when the EBL system is turned on.
When the EBL relay is activated, current is directed to the rear window defogger grid lines and
when equipped, to the heated outside rear view mirrors. The grid lines heat the window and mirror
glass to help clear the surfaces of fog or frost.

Heated Glass Element Switch: Description and Operation Rear Defogger Switch - Operation
OPERATION
An amber indicator in the rear window defogger switch will illuminate when the rear window
defogger switch is activated. When the switch is activated, the A/C-heater control requests the front
control module (FCM) to operated the rear window defogger (EBL) relay via the controller area
network (CAN) B bus. The EBL relay controls the current flow to the heating grid of the rear window
and when equipped, the heated outside rear view mirrors.
NOTE: The EBL system turns off automatically after approximately 15 minutes of initial operation.
Each following activation cycle of the
EBL system will last approximately 10 minutes.
The EBL system will be automatically turned off after an initial programmed time interval of about
15 minutes as long as the ignition switch is in RUN. After the initial time interval has expired, if the
rear window defogger switch is pressed to ON again during the same ignition cycle, the EBL
system will automatically turn off after about 10 minutes. The EBL system will also turn off if the
ignition switch is turned to any position other than RUN or by manually pressing the rear window
defogger switch a second time.
The rear window defogger switch and indicator lamp cannot be adjusted or repaired and the
A/C-heater control must be replaced if inoperative or damaged See: Heating and Air
Conditioning/Control Assembly/Service and Repair/A/C and Heater Control - Removal.

Washer Fluid Level Switch: Description and Operation Washer Fluid Level Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The washer fluid level switch is a single pole, single throw reed-type switch mounted just above the
sump area near the bottom of the washer reservoir. Only the molded plastic switch mounting flange
and the integral connector receptacle are visible when the switch is installed in the reservoir. A
short nipple formation extends from the inner surface of the switch mounting flange, and a barb on
the nipple near the switch mounting flange is pressed through a rubber grommet seal installed in
the mounting hole of the reservoir.
A molded plastic float rides saddle-like over a molded plastic beam that extends axially from the
switch mounting flange. A small permanent magnet is secured in a receptacle on the top of the
float, and the reed switch is concealed within the beam. A diagnostic resistor is connected between
the two switch terminals within the switch mounting flange.
The washer fluid level switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged, it must be
replaced.

Washer Fluid Level Switch: Description and Operation Washer Fluid Level Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The washer fluid level switch uses a float to monitor the level of the washer fluid in the washer
reservoir. The float contains a small magnet. When the float moves, the proximity of this magnet to
a stationary reed switch within the beam formation of the switch changes. When the fluid level in
the washer reservoir is at or above the float level, the float rises and the influence of the float
magnetic field is removed from the reed switch causing the normally open reed switch contacts to
open. When the fluid level in the washer reservoir falls below the level of the float, the float falls and
the influence of the float magnetic field is applied to the reed switch, causing the contacts of the
normally open reed switch to close.
The washer fluid level switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take
out and connector of the headlamp and dash wire harness. The switch is connected in series
between ground and the washer fluid switch sense input to the Front Control Module (FCM) located
in the engine compartment near the battery. The FCM monitors the switch return signal and is
programmed to respond to three consecutive open switch readings by sending an electronic
washer fluid indicator lamp-ON message to the Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also
known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The EMIC responds to this message by illuminating the washer fluid indicator and by sounding an
audible chime tone warning.
The washer fluid level switch and the hard wired circuits between the switch and the FCM may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
the washer fluid level switch or the electronic controls or communication between other modules
and devices that provide some features of the wiper and washer systems. The most reliable,
efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the washer fluid level switch or the electronic controls
and communication related to washer fluid level switch operation requires the use of a diagnostic
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Windshield Washer Switch: Description and Operation Multifunction Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The multi-function switch (3) is located on the steering column, just below the steering wheel. The
only visible components of the multi-function switch are the control stalk (2) and control knob (1)
that extend through the steering column shrouds on the left side of the column, and the hazard
warning push button (4) that extends through the shroud on the top of the column. The remainder
of the switch including its mounting provisions, its electrical connection, and the turn signal cancel
actuator (5) are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing and controls are constructed of molded black plastic. Each of the switch
controls has white International Control and Display Symbol graphics applied to it, which clearly
identify its many functions. Three integral locating posts on the switch housing, one on the top and
two on the bottom, slide into channels in a receptacle on the left side of the multi-function switch
mounting housing near the top of the steering column to ensure proper positioning of the switch.
Then two screws secure the switch to the mounting housing. A single integral connector receptacle
containing four terminal pins on the back of the switch housing connects the switch to the vehicle
electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The multi-function switch provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the following
functions:
- Front Washer Control - The multi-function switch control knob provides a momentary front WASH
position for front washer system operation.
- Front Wiper Control - The multi-function switch control knob provides two continuous front wipe
switch positions, LOW speed or HIGH speed; and an intermittent front wipe mode with five delay
interval positions.
Hazard Warning Control - The multi-function switch hazard warning push button provides two
detent positions (ON and OFF) to control the hazard warning lamps.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The multi-function switch control stalk provides detent switching for
selection of the headlamp HIGH or LOW beams. There is also an intermediate momentary position
that allows the headlamp high beam circuits to be momentarily flashed to provide an optical horn
feature (sometimes referred to as flash-to-pass) as an optical signalling device.
- Turn Signal Control - The multi-function switch control stalk provides momentary non-detent (lane
change) switching or detent switching with automatic cancellation for both the left and right turn
signal lamps.
The multi-function switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If any function of the switch is ineffective,
or if the switch is damaged, the entire switch must be replaced as a unit.

Windshield Washer Switch: Description and Operation Multifunction Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The multi-function switch uses resistor multiplexing to control the many functions and features it
provides using only three hard wired output circuits. The switch receives a clean ground from the
Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN)
on a multi-function switch return circuit. It then provides outputs to the EMIC on a wash/beam
select switch signal circuit to control front washer and headlamp beam selection, on an intermittent
wiper switch signal circuit to control front wipers, and on a turn lamps switch signal circuit to control
turn signal and hazard warning functions.
The multi-function switch operates as follows:
- Front Washer Control - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch control stalk is
depressed towards the steering column to momentarily activate the washer pump in the front
WASH mode. The washer pump will continue to operate in the front washer mode until the control
knob is released or for 10 continuous seconds, whichever occurs first. The multi-function switch
provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic front washer switch
status messages to the Front Control Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus. The FCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the washer pump in the front washer
mode.
- Front Wiper Control - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch control stalk is
rotated to one of the continuous front wiper detents, to one of five intermittent wiper detents, or to
the OFF position to select the front wiper mode. The multi-function switch provides an output to the
EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic front wiper switch status messages to the
FCM over the CAN data bus. The FCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the wiper on/off
and high/low relays in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) for front wiper system control.
- Hazard Warning Control - The hazard warning push button of the multi-function switch is
depressed to activate the hazard warning system, and depressed again to turn the system OFF.
When the push button is actuated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and
the EMIC responds by sending electronic hazard switch status messages to the FCM over the CAN
data bus. The FCM then energizes and flashes or de-energizes both the left and right turn signal
circuits to provide the visual hazard warning.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The control stalk of the multi-function switch is pulled towards the
steering wheel past a detent to actuate the integral beam select switch circuitry, or to an
intermediate, momentary position before the detent to actuate the optical horn feature. Each time
the control stalk is actuated to a detent position, the opposite headlamp beam from what is
currently selected will be energized. Each time the control stalk is actuated to the momentary
position with the headlamps turned OFF, the headlamp high beams will be illuminated for as long
as the control stalk is held in this position. The multi-function switch provides an output to the
EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic beam select switch status messages to the
FCM over the CAN data bus. The FCM energizes or de-energizes the selected LOW or HIGH
beam circuits.
- Turn Signal Control - The control stalk of the multi-function switch is moved upward to activate the
RIGHT turn signal circuitry, and, downward to activate the LEFT turn signal circuitry. The turn
signal switch has a detent position in each direction that provides turn signals with automatic
cancellation, and an intermediate, momentary position in each direction that automatically provides
three turn signal blinks as a LANE CHANGE feature when the control stalk is tapped or will
energize the turn signals for as long as the control stalk is held in the momentary position. When
the control stalk is moved to a detent turn signal switch position, the cancel actuator extends
toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is integral to the clockspring
rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the cancel actuator when it is extended
from the multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated during a turning maneuver, one
of the two turn signal cancel cam lobes will contact the turn signal cancel actuator. The cancel
actuator latches against the cancel cam rotation in the direction opposite that which is signaled. If
the LEFT turn signal detent is selected, the lobes of the cancel cam will ratchet past the cancel
actuator when the steering wheel is rotated to the left, but will unlatch the cancel actuator as the
steering wheel rotates to the right and returns to center, which will cancel the turn signal event and
release the control stalk from the detent so it returns to the neutral OFF position. When a turn
signal is activated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC
responds by sending electronic turn signal switch status messages to the FCM over the CAN data
bus. The FCM energizes and flashes or de-energizes the selected left or right turn signal circuits.
The multi-function switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

- Turn Signal Control - The multi-function switch control stalk provides momentary non-detent (lane
change) switching or detent switching with automatic cancellation for both the left and right turn
signal lamps.
The multi-function switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If any function of the switch is ineffective,
or if the switch is damaged, the entire switch must be replaced as a unit.

Wiper Switch: Description and Operation Multifunction Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The multi-function switch uses resistor multiplexing to control the many functions and features it
provides using only three hard wired output circuits. The switch receives a clean ground from the
Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN)
on a multi-function switch return circuit. It then provides outputs to the EMIC on a wash/beam
select switch signal circuit to control front washer and headlamp beam selection, on an intermittent
wiper switch signal circuit to control front wipers, and on a turn lamps switch signal circuit to control
turn signal and hazard warning functions.
The multi-function switch operates as follows:
- Front Washer Control - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch control stalk is
depressed towards the steering column to momentarily activate the washer pump in the front
WASH mode. The washer pump will continue to operate in the front washer mode until the control
knob is released or for 10 continuous seconds, whichever occurs first. The multi-function switch
provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic front washer switch
status messages to the Front Control Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus. The FCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the washer pump in the front washer
mode.
- Front Wiper Control - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch control stalk is
rotated to one of the continuous front wiper detents, to one of five intermittent wiper detents, or to
the OFF position to select the front wiper mode. The multi-function switch provides an output to the
EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic front wiper switch status messages to the
FCM over the CAN data bus. The FCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the wiper on/off
and high/low relays in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) for front wiper system control.
- Hazard Warning Control - The hazard warning push button of the multi-function switch is
depressed to activate the hazard warning system, and depressed again to turn the system OFF.
When the push button is actuated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and
the EMIC responds by sending electronic hazard switch status messages to the FCM over the CAN
data bus. The FCM then energizes and flashes or de-energizes both the left and right turn signal
circuits to provide the visual hazard warning.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The control stalk of the multi-function switch is pulled towards the
steering wheel past a detent to actuate the integral beam select switch circuitry, or to an
intermediate, momentary position before the detent to actuate the optical horn feature. Each time
the control stalk is actuated to a detent position, the opposite headlamp beam from what is
currently selected will be energized. Each time the control stalk is actuated to the momentary
position with the headlamps turned OFF, the headlamp high beams will be illuminated for as long
as the control stalk is held in this position. The multi-function switch provides an output to the
EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic beam select switch status messages to the
FCM over the CAN data bus. The FCM energizes or de-energizes the selected LOW or HIGH
beam circuits.
- Turn Signal Control - The control stalk of the multi-function switch is moved upward to activate the
RIGHT turn signal circuitry, and, downward to activate the LEFT turn signal circuitry. The turn
signal switch has a detent position in each direction that provides turn signals with automatic
cancellation, and an intermediate, momentary position in each direction that automatically provides
three turn signal blinks as a LANE CHANGE feature when the control stalk is tapped or will
energize the turn signals for as long as the control stalk is held in the momentary position. When
the control stalk is moved to a detent turn signal switch position, the cancel actuator extends
toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is integral to the clockspring
rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the cancel actuator when it is extended
from the multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated during a turning maneuver, one
of the two turn signal cancel cam lobes will contact the turn signal cancel actuator. The cancel
actuator latches against the cancel cam rotation in the direction opposite that which is signaled. If
the LEFT turn signal detent is selected, the lobes of the cancel cam will ratchet past the cancel
actuator when the steering wheel is rotated to the left, but will unlatch the cancel actuator as the
steering wheel rotates to the right and returns to center, which will cancel the turn signal event and
release the control stalk from the detent so it returns to the neutral OFF position. When a turn
signal is activated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC
responds by sending electronic turn signal switch status messages to the FCM over the CAN data
bus. The FCM energizes and flashes or de-energizes the selected left or right turn signal circuits.
The multi-function switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Alignment: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: Suspension components with rubber/urethane bushings should be tightened with the
vehicle at normal ride height. It is important to
have the springs supporting the weight of the vehicle when the fasteners are torqued. If springs are
not at their normal ride position, vehicle ride comfort could be affected and premature bushing wear
may occur.
Wheel alignment involves the correct positioning of the wheels in relation to the vehicle. The
positioning is accomplished through suspension and steering linkage adjustments. An alignment is
considered essential for efficient steering, good directional stability and to minimize tire wear. The
most important measurements of an alignment are caster, camber and toe.
CAUTION: Never attempt to modify suspension or steering components by heating or bending.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Description and Operation > Description >
Page 1542
Alignment: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
- CASTER (1) is the forward or rearward tilt of the steering knuckle from vertical. Tilting the top of
the knuckle forward provides less positive caster. Tilting the top of the knuckle rearward provides
more positive caster. Positive caster promotes directional stability. This angle enables the front
wheels to return to a straight ahead position after turns.
- CAMBER (2) is the inward or outward tilt of the wheel relative to the center of the vehicle. Tilting
the top of the wheel inward provides negative camber. Tilting the top of the wheel outward provides
positive camber. Incorrect camber will cause wear on the inside or outside edge of the tire.
- TOE (4) is the difference between the leading inside edges and trailing inside edges of the front
tires. Wheel toe position out of specification cause's unstable steering, uneven tire wear and
steering wheel off- center. The wheel toe position is the final front wheel alignment adjustment.
- THRUST ANGLE (3) is the angle of the rear axle relative to the centerline of the vehicle. Incorrect
thrust angle can cause off-center steering and excessive tire wear. This angle is not adjustable,
damaged component(s) must be replaced to correct the thrust angle.

HEIGHT MEASUREMENT
The vehicle suspension height MUST be measured and adjusted before performing wheel
alignment procedure. Also when front suspension components have been replaced. This measure
must be performed with the vehicle supporting it's own weight and taken on both sides of the
vehicle.
NOTE: Vehicle should have a full tank of fuel prior to measuring and adjusting alignment.
FRONT CURB HEIGHT MEASUREMENT
1. Inspect tires and set to correct pressure. 2. Jounce the front of the vehicle. 3. With vehicle on
level ground or hoist, make the following measurements:
a. Front wheel spindle (center) (1) to ground vertical distance (3). b. Center of the front face of bolt
on the rear leg of Lower control arm (2) to ground vertical distance (3). c. Difference between
spindle and control arm bolt to ground distances should be 81 mm +/- 3.2 mm (3.18 in +/- 0.12
in)Note that the control
arm bolt is lower than the spindle.
4. If adjustment is required, turn the torsion bar adjuster bolts- if lowering curb height, unscrew
Torsion bar adjuster bolt beyond desired point so as
to set height when screwing-in adjuster bolt.
5. After making any curb height adjustment, roll vehicle preferably jouncing it also, to relieve
camber Effects and then re-measure Lower control arm
bolt to ground height.
6. Repeat the previous steps until the curb height is within specifications.
REAR CURB HEIGHT MEASUREMENT
1. Inspect tires and set to correct pressure. 2. Jounce the front of the vehicle. 3. With vehicle on
level ground or hoist, make the following measurements:
a. Distance from the landing pad of the jounce bumper on the axle side to the jounce bumper cup
lip of the frame side. b. The difference between the jounce bumper landing pad and the jounce

HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The vehicle suspension height MUST be measured and adjusted before performing wheel
alignment procedure See: . Also when front suspension components have been replaced. This
measurement must be performed with the vehicle supporting it's own weight and taken on both
sides of the vehicle.
To adjust the vehicle height turn the torsion bar adjustment bolt CLOCKWISE to raise the vehicle
and COUNTER CLOCKWISE to lower the vehicle.
CAUTION: ALWAYS raise the vehicle to the correct suspension height, NEVER lower the vehicle
to obtain the correct suspension height. If
the vehicle suspension height is too high, lower the vehicle below the height specification. Then
raise the vehicle to the correct suspension height specification. This will insure the vehicle
maintains the proper suspension height.
NOTE: If a height adjustment has been made, perform height measurement again on both sides of
the vehicle.

Alignment: Service and Repair Camber, Caster and Toe Adjustment
CAMBER, CASTER AND TOE ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: Suspension height measurement must be performed before an alignment.
Camber and caster angle adjustments involve changing the position of the lower control arm with
the slots in the frame brackets to move the lower control arm inwards or outwards for proper
adjustment. This can be achieved by using a long pry bar with a curved tip and inserting the pry bar
into the lower control arm frame brackets and prying inwards or outwards.
NOTE: Camber and caster adjustments must be made at the lower control arm. Do not use the
upper control arm for Camber and Caster
adjustments.
NOTE: When the lower control arm pivot bolts are loosened the lower control arm will normally go
outwards automatically with the weight
of the vehicle.
CASTER
Moving the rear position of the lower control arm at the frame in or out, will change the caster angle
significantly and camber angle only slightly. To maintain the camber angle while adjusting caster,
move the rear of the lower control arm in or out. Then move the front of the lower control arm
slightly in the opposite direction.
CAMBER
Move both the front and rear of the lower control arm together in or out. This will change the
camber angle significantly and caster angle slightly.
After adjustment is made tighten the lower control arm bolt AND nuts to 244 Nm (180 ft. lbs.).
TOE ADJUSTMENT
The wheel toe position adjustment is the final adjustment.
1. Start the engine and turn wheels both ways before straightening the wheels. Secure the steering
wheel with the front wheels in the straight-ahead
position.
2. Loosen the tie rod jam nuts (3).
NOTE: Each front wheel should be adjusted for one-half of the total toe position specification. This
will ensure the steering wheel will be
centered when the wheels are positioned straight-ahead.
3. Adjust the wheel toe position by turning the inner tie rod (4) as necessary. 4. Tighten the tie rod
jam nut (3) to 130 Nm (96 ft. lbs.). 5. Verify the specifications. 6. Turn off engine.

Hose/Line HVAC: Description and Operation A/C Underbody Lines - Description
DESCRIPTION
Models equipped with the rear heating-A/C system use metal lines (1) attached to the vehicle
underbody (2) to carry refrigerant and engine coolant to/and from the rear A/C evaporator and
heater core. The underbody A/C lines are connected to the front A/C suction and liquid lines by
spring-lock type couplers and secondary retaining clips See: Heating and Air Conditioning/Coupler
HVAC/Description and Operation/Refrigerant Line Coupler - Description and to the rear HVAC
housing (3) by a tapping plate (4) and nut (5). The metal underbody heater lines have rubber hose
ends that are connected to the front heater hoses and the rear HVAC housing by use of
spring-clamp type heater hose clamps. The underbody lines are retained by plastic mounting
brackets (6) and screws (7) and can be repaired (depending on the amount of damage) by using
A/C Line Repair Tool Kit 8456A or equivalent See: Service and Repair/Procedures.
NOTE: Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals and gaskets is required anytime a
refrigerant line is disconnected. Failure to replace
the rubber O-ring seals and metal gaskets could result in a refrigerant system leak.
The underbody lines can only be removed by lifting the body off of the frame and have no
serviceable parts except for the refrigerant line rubber O-ring seals and the mounting brackets. The
O-ring seals used on the refrigerant line connections are made from a special type of rubber not
affected by R-134a refrigerant. The O-ring seals must be replaced whenever the underbody
refrigerant lines are disconnected.

DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems include:
engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and refrigerant. The only
exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle maintenance schedules, e.g. engine
coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has occurred
and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of
system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the original approved system
fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSE(R) approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with Mopar
Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all
deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the specified coolant and
distilled water.

Brake Fluid: Testing and Inspection
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 Brakes hydraulic unit and all
hydraulic fluid hoses.

Coolant: Description and Operation Description - HOAT Coolant
HOAT COOLANT
WARNING: Antifreeze is an ethylene-glycol base coolant and is harmful if swallowed or inhaled. If
swallowed, drink two glasses of water and
induce vomiting. If inhaled, move to fresh air area. Seek medical attention immediately. Do not
store in open or unmarked containers. Wash skin and clothing thoroughly after coming in contact
with ethylene-glycol. Keep out of reach of children. Dispose of glycol based coolant properly,
contact your dealer or government agency for location of collection center in your area. Do not
open a cooling system when the engine is at operating temperature or hot under pressure,
personal injury can result. Avoid radiator cooling fan when engine compartment related service is
performed, personal injury can result.
CAUTION: Use of Propylene-Glycol based coolants is not recommended, as they provide less
freeze protection and less corrosion protection.
The cooling system is designed around the coolant. The coolant must accept heat from engine
metal, in the cylinder head area near the exhaust valves and engine block. Then coolant carries the
heat to the radiator where the tube/fin radiator can transfer the heat to the air.
The use of aluminum cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, and water pumps require special corrosion
protection. Mopar(R) Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769), or the
equivalent ethylene-glycol base coolant with organic corrosion inhibitors (called HOAT, for Hybrid
Organic Additive Technology) is recommended. This coolant offers the best engine cooling without
corrosion when mixed with 50% ethylene-glycol and 50% distilled water to obtain a freeze point of
-37°C (-35°F). If it loses color or becomes contaminated, drain, flush, and replace with fresh
properly mixed coolant solution.
CAUTION: Mopar(R) Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769) may not be
mixed with any other type of antifreeze.
Mixing of coolants other than specified (non-HOAT or other HOAT) may result in engine damage
that may not be covered under the new vehicle warranty, and decreased corrosion protection.
COOLANT PERFORMANCE
The required ethylene-glycol and water mixture depends upon climate and vehicle operating
conditions. The coolant performance of various mixtures follows:
Pure Water- Water can absorb more heat than a mixture of water and ethylene-glycol. This is for
purpose of heat transfer only. Water also freezes at a higher temperature and allows corrosion.
100 percent Ethylene-Glycol - The corrosion inhibiting additives in ethylene-glycol need the
presence of water to dissolve. Without water, additives form deposits in system. These act as
insulation causing temperature to rise to as high as 149°C (300°F). This temperature is hot enough
to melt plastic. The increased temperature can result in severe engine damage. In addition, 100
percent ethylene-glycol freezes at -22°C (-8°F).
50/50 Ethylene-Glycol and Water - Is the recommended mixture, it provides protection against
freezing to -37°C (-34°F). The antifreeze concentration must always be a minimum of 44 percent,
year-round in all climates. If percentage is lower, engine parts may be eroded by cavitation.
Maximum protection against freezing is provided with a 68 percent antifreeze concentration, which
prevents freezing down to -67.7°C (-90°F). A higher percentage will freeze at a warmer
temperature. Also, a higher percentage of antifreeze can cause the engine to overheat because
specific heat of antifreeze is lower than that of water.
CAUTION: Richer antifreeze mixtures cannot be measured with normal field equipment and can
cause problems associated with 100 percent
ethylene-glycol.

Coolant: Description and Operation Operation
COOLANT
Coolant flows through the engine block and cylinder head, absorbing heat from the engine, then
flows to the radiator where the cooling fins in the radiator transfer the heat from the coolant to the
atmosphere. During cold weather the ethylene-glycol or propylene-glycol coolant prevents water
present in the cooling system from freezing within temperatures indicated by the mixture ratio of

Coolant: Testing and Inspection
COOLANT CONCENTRATION TESTING
Check coolant concentration when any additional coolant is added to the system, or after a coolant
drain, flush and refill. Use of a hydrometer or Refractometer Tool 8286, refractometer can be used
to test coolant concentration.
A hydrometer tests 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 the higher the freeze protection (up to a maximum of 60% by volume glycol).
A Refractometer Tool 8286 tests 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 manufacturers 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 are not recommended.
CAUTION: Do not mix types of coolant - corrosion protection will be severely reduced.

DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems include:
engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and refrigerant. The only
exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle maintenance schedules, e.g. engine
coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has occurred
and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of
system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the original approved system
fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSE(R) approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with Mopar
Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all
deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the specified coolant and
distilled water.

Fluid - A/T: Description and Operation
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
NOTE: Refer to Service Procedures for fluid level checking procedures.
Dexron VI Automatic Transmission Fluid is the only recommended fluid for the Hybrid transmission.
Mopar(R) ATF +4, Automatic Transmission Fluid is the recommended fluid for most Chrysler
automatic transmissions.
Dexron II fluid IS NOT recommended. Clutch chatter can result from the use of improper fluid.
Mopar(R) ATF +4 as well as Dexron VI Automatic Transmission Fluid 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 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
Chrysler 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 Chrysler 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.

Effects of Incorrect Fluid Level
Fluid - A/T: Testing and Inspection Effects of Incorrect Fluid Level
EFFECTS OF INCORRECT FLUID LEVEL
A low fluid level allows the pump to take in air along with the fluid. Air in the fluid will cause fluid
pressures to be low and develop slower than normal. If the transmission is overfilled, the gears
churn the fluid into foam. This aerates the fluid and causing the same conditions occurring with a
low level. In either case, air bubbles cause fluid overheating, oxidation, and varnish buildup which
interferes with valve and clutch operation. Foaming also causes fluid expansion which can result in
fluid overflow from the transmission vent or fill tube. Fluid overflow can easily be mistaken for a
leak if inspection is not careful.

Fluid - A/T: Testing and Inspection Causes of Burnt Fluid
CAUSES OF BURNT FLUID
Burnt, discolored fluid is a result of overheating which has three primary causes.
1. Internal clutch slippage, usually caused by low line pressure, inadequate clutch apply pressure,
or clutch seal failure. 2. A result of restricted fluid flow through the main and auxiliary cooler. This
condition is usually the result of a faulty or improperly installed drain
back valve, a damaged oil cooler, or severe restrictions in the coolers and lines caused by debris or
kinked lines.
3. Heavy duty operation with a vehicle not properly equipped for this type of operation. Trailer
towing or similar high load operation will overheat
the transmission fluid if the vehicle is improperly equipped. Such vehicles should have an auxiliary
transmission fluid cooler, a heavy duty cooling system, and the engine/axle ratio combination
needed to handle heavy loads.

Fluid - A/T: Testing and Inspection Fluid Contamination
FLUID CONTAMINATION
Transmission fluid contamination is generally a result of:
- adding incorrect fluid.
- failure to clean dipstick and fill tube when checking level.
- engine coolant entering the fluid.
- internal failure that generates debris.
- overheat that generates sludge (fluid breakdown).
- failure to replace contaminated damper after repair.
The use of non-recommended fluids can result in transmission failure. The usual results are erratic
shifts, slippage, abnormal wear and eventual failure due to fluid breakdown and sludge formation.
Avoid this condition by using recommended fluids only.
Wipe the dipstick cap and fill tube clean before checking fluid level. Dirt, grease and other foreign
material on the cap and tube could fall into the tube if not removed beforehand. Take the time to
wipe the cap and tube clean before withdrawing the dipstick.
Engine coolant in the transmission fluid is generally caused by a cooler malfunction. The only
remedy is to replace the radiator as the cooler in the radiator is not a serviceable part. If coolant
has circulated through the transmission, an overhaul is necessary.
Replace the transmission damper whenever a failure generates sludge and debris. Normal flushing
procedures will not remove all contaminants.

Fluid - A/T: Service and Repair Fluid Level Check
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
The 2 - Mode EVT transmission uses special Dexron VI oil. Do not use Chrysler MS-9602 oil in the
2 - Mode EVT.
A service dipstick, (dipstick 9336A) is required to check the oil level in the 2 - Mode EVT
transmission. The fill tube is located on the right side of the engine and is accessed through the
right front wheel well. To avoid contaminating the transmission fluid, make sure to clean all dirt and
debris from the fill tube cap and around the fill tube opening before removing the fill tube cap. The
torque damper fills with fluid in both the P (Park) and N (Neutral)positions. Place the selector lever
in P (PARK) to make sure that the fluid level check is accurate. The engine should be running at
idle speed for at least one minute with the vehicle on level ground. At normal operating temperature
the fluid level is correct if it is at the level shown in the table below on the service dipstick.
After the fluid has been checked, seat the fill tube cap fully on the fill tube opening to seal out
contaminants.
CAPPED FILL TUBE
WARNING: This vehicle has two modes of operation. Even with the gas engine off, the vehicle is
still capable of moving in electric only mode.
When the engine is running, there is also the risk of personal injury or property damage from the
vehicle unintentionally being placed into a drive gear and moving. Verify the parking brake is
operating correctly, and apply the parking brake while checking the transmission fluid level. There
is a risk of injury from rotating or hot parts on the engine when it has been run or when it is running.
Secure vehicle to prevent it from moving off by itself. Wear properly fastened and close-fitting work
clothes. Do not touch hot or rotating parts.
1. Verify that the vehicle is parked on a level surface. Apply the parking brake. 2. Turn the key on
and connect the scan tool to the data link connector. 3. Remove the fill tube cap. 4. Start the
engine and let it run at idle speed in the selector lever position "P" until the engine reaches normal
operating temperature. 5. Apply and hold the service brake. Shift the transmission into DRIVE for
approximately two seconds with the vehicle stationary and the engine
idling.
6. Shift the transmission into REVERSE for approximately two seconds with the vehicle stationary
and the engine idling. 7. Shift the transmission into park. 8. Use the scan tool to view the
transmission fluid temperature sensor. 9. Compare the transmission fluid temperature shown on
the scan tool with the transmission fluid level chart.
10. Adjust the transmission fluid level shown on the dipstick according to the transmission fluid
temperature chart.
NOTE: After adding fluid to the transmission, wait a minimum of two minutes for the oil to fully drain
from the fill tube into the transmission
before rechecking the fluid level.

10. Supporting the oil pan, remove remaining bolts securing pan to transmission. 11. While holding
the oil pan level, lower it from transmission. 12. Pour any remaining fluid in pan into drain pan. 13.
Separate the primary (2) and auxiliary (3) oil filters from valve body and oil pump and pour fluid
from the filters into drain pan. 14. Inspect the oil filter seal in the bottom of the oil pump. If the seal
is not installed completely in the oil pump, or is otherwise damaged, then remove
with a suitable tool, and discard the oil filter seals from the bottom of the oil pump. If the seals are
installed correctly and are in good condition, they can be reused.
15. Dispose of used transmission fluid and filter(s) properly.
INSPECTION
Inspect the bottom of the oil pan and magnet for excessive amounts of metal. A light coating of
clutch material on the bottom of the oil pan does not indicate a problem unless accompanied by a
slipping condition or shift lag. If fluid and oil pan are contaminated with excessive amounts of
debris, refer to the diagnosis section.
CLEANING
1. Using a suitable solvent, clean the oil pan and magnet.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: The primary and auxiliary oil filter seals MUST be fully installed flush against the oil

DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems include:
engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and refrigerant. The only
exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle maintenance schedules, e.g. engine
coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has occurred
and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of
system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the original approved system
fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSE(R) approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with Mopar
Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all
deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the specified coolant and
distilled water.

DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems include:
engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and refrigerant. The only
exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle maintenance schedules, e.g. engine
coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has occurred
and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of
system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the original approved system
fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSE(R) approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with Mopar
Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all
deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the specified coolant and
distilled water.

Engine Oil: Description and Operation
ENGINE OIL
WARNING: New or used engine oil can be irritating to the skin. Avoid prolonged or repeated skin
contact with engine oil. Contaminants in
used engine oil, caused by internal combustion, can be hazardous to your health. Thoroughly wash
exposed skin with soap and water. Do not wash skin with gasoline, diesel fuel, thinner, or solvents,
health problems can result. Do not pollute, dispose of used engine oil properly. Contact your dealer
or government agency for location of collection center in your area.
When service is required, Chrysler Corporation recommends that only Mopar(R) brand parts,
lubricants and chemicals be used. Mopar(R) provides the best engineered products for servicing
Chrysler Corporation vehicles.
Only lubricants bearing designations defined by the following organization should be used.
- Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)
- American Petroleum Institute (API)
- National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI)
- Association des Constructeurs Europeens d' Automobiles (European Automobile Manufacturers
Association) (ACEA)
API SERVICE GRADE CERTIFIED
Use an engine oil that is API Certified. MOPAR(R) provides engine oils, that meet or exceed this
requirement.
SAE VISCOSITY
An SAE viscosity grade is used to specify the viscosity of engine oil. Use only engine oils with
multiple viscosities. These are specified with a dual SAE viscosity grade which indicates the
cold-to-hot temperature viscosity range. Select an engine oil that is best suited to your particular
temperature range and variation. Refer to the engine oil filler cap for the recommend engine oil
viscosity for each vehicle.
ACEA Categories
For countries that use the ACEA European Oil Categories for Service Fill Oils, use engine oils that
meet the requirements of ACEA A1/B1, A2/B2, or A3/B3.
ENERGY CONSERVING OIL
An Energy Conserving type oil is recommended for gasoline engines. The designation of ENERGY
CONSERVING is located on the label of an engine oil container.
CONTAINER IDENTIFICATION
Standard engine oil identification notations have been adopted to aid in the proper selection of
engine oil. The identifying notations are located on the front label of engine oil plastic bottles and
the top of engine oil cans.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fluids > Engine Oil > Component Information > Specifications > Page 1770
This symbol means that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API).
DaimlerChrysler only recommend API Certified engine oils. Use Mopar(R) engine oil or equivalent.
SYNTHETIC ENGINE OILS
There are a number of engine oils being promoted as either synthetic or semi-synthetic. If you
chose to use such a product, use only those oils that meet the American Petroleum Institute (API)
and SAE viscosity standard. Follow the service schedule that describes your driving type.
ENGINE OIL ADDITIVES/SUPPLEMENTS
The manufacturer does not recommend the addition of any engine oil additives/supplements to the
specified engine oil. Engine oil additives/supplements should not be used to enhance engine oil
performance. Engine oil additives/supplements should not be used to extend engine oil change
intervals. No additive is known to be safe for engine durability and can degrade emission
components. Additives can contain undesirable materials that harm the long term durability of
engines by:
- Doubling the level of phosphorus in the engine oil. The ILSAC (International Lubricant Standard
Approval Committee) GF-2 and GF-3 standards require that engine oil contain no more than 0.10%
phosphorus to protect the vehicles emissions performance. Addition of engine oil
additives/supplements can poison, from the added sulfur and phosphorus, catalysts and hinder
efforts to guarantee emissions performance to 80,000 miles.
- Altering the viscosity characteristics of the engine oil so that it no longer meets the requirements
of the specified viscosity grade.
- Creating potential for an undesirable additive compatibility interaction in the engine crankcase.
Generally it is not desirable to mix additive packages from different suppliers in the crankcase;
there have been reports of low temperature engine failures caused by additive package
incompatibility with such mixtures.

ENGINE OIL SERVICE
The engine oil level indicator is located at the left hand of the engine on the 5.7L engines.
CRANKCASE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION
CAUTION: Do not overfill crankcase with engine oil, pressure loss or oil foaming can result.
Inspect engine oil level approximately every 800 kilometers (500 miles). Unless the engine has
exhibited loss of oil pressure, run the engine for about ten minutes before checking oil level.
Checking engine oil level on a cold engine is not accurate.
To ensure proper lubrication of an engine, the engine oil must be maintained at an acceptable
level. The acceptable levels are indicated between the ADD and SAFE marks on the engine oil
dipstick.
1. Position vehicle on level surface. 2. With engine OFF, allow approximately five minutes for oil to
settle to bottom of crankcase, remove engine oil dipstick. 3. Wipe dipstick clean. 4. Install dipstick
and verify it is seated in the tube. 5. Remove dipstick, with handle held above the tip, take oil level
reading. 6. Add oil only if level is below the ADD mark on dipstick.
ENGINE OIL CHANGE
Change engine oil at mileage and time intervals described in Maintenance SchedulesSee: .
Run engine until achieving normal operating temperature.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface and turn engine off. 2. Hoist and support vehicle on safety
stands. 3. Remove oil fill cap. 4. Place a suitable drain pan under crankcase drain. 5. Remove
drain plug from crankcase and allow oil to drain into pan. Inspect drain plug threads for stretching
or other damage. Replace drain plug if
damaged.
6. Install drain plug in crankcase. Torque to 34 Nm ( 25 ft. lbs.). 7. Lower vehicle and fill crankcase
with specified type and amount of engine oil described. 8. Install oil fill cap. 9. Start engine and
inspect for leaks.
10. Stop engine and inspect oil level.

Power Steering Fluid: Description and Operation
POWER STEERING FLUID
There are two types of power steering systems used on this vehicle. The conventional belt driven
power steering pump system as well as an Electric Power Steering (EPS) pump system. The EPS
pump is used on the 5.7L Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) while the conventional system is used on
all other vehicles.
BELT DRIVEN PUMP (CONVENTIONAL)
Mopar(R) ATF +4, Automatic Transmission Fluid is required in the power steering system.
Substitute fluids can induce power steering system failure.Mopar(R) ATF +4, Automatic
Transmission Fluid 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.
EPS PUMP (5.7L HEV)
The power steering system is filled at the factory with Pentosan CHF 11S. If necessary, use
Mopar(R) hydraulic fluid, part number 05127381AA. Steering noise and reduced component life
may result if an unapproved fluid is used.

A/C REFRIGERANT
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 nontoxic, nonflammable, clear and colorless liquefied
gas.
CAUTION: R-134a refrigerant is not compatible with R-12 refrigerant in an A/C system. Even a
small amount of R-12 refrigerant added to an
R-134a refrigerant system will cause A/C compressor failure.
The A/C refrigerant system is filled-for-life at the factory and requires no regular maintenance.
Although not required at specific intervals, the charge level should be checked if system
performance deteriorates or if a noise or leak is suspected See: Heating and Air
Conditioning/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics.

DESCRIPTION
The refrigerant used in this A/C 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.

Refrigerant: Description and Operation Refrigerant - Operation
OPERATION
R-134a refrigerant is not compatible with R-12 refrigerant in an A/C system. Even a small amount
of R-12 refrigerant added to an R-134a refrigerant system will cause A/C compressor failure,
refrigerant oil sludge or poor A/C 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 refrigerant 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 A/C compressor to identify that the A/C system is
equipped with R-134a refrigerant.

REFRIGERANT SYSTEM RECOVERY
WARNING: Review safety precautions and warnings before performing this procedure See:
Heating and Air Conditioning/Service
Precautions/Warning and See: Heating and Air Conditioning/Service Precautions/Caution . Failure
to follow these instructions may result in serious or fatal injury.
CAUTION: Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) oil can contaminate the refrigerant system of a Hybrid
Electric Vehicle (HEV) and lead to A/C system
damage and failure. If the refrigerant recovery/recycling and charging equipment was last used on
a non-HEV model, flush the hoses of the equipment with a solvent approved by the equipment
manufacturer before using the equipment on an HEV model, or use refrigerant recovery/recycling
and charging equipment designated only for HEV models by your service facility. See the operating
instructions supplied by the equipment manufacturer for proper use and care of the refrigerant
recovery/recycling and charging equipment.
NOTE: If equipped with the rear heating-A/C system, use a heat gun to warm the underbody
refrigerant lines to help remove any trapped
refrigerant from the rear A/C system.
When servicing the A/C system, an R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging station that
meets SAE standard J2788 must be used (1). Per SAE standard J2788, refrigerant recovery
stations must recover 95% of the refrigerant system within 30 minutes at 21.1° C (70° F) and be
able to measure the amount of refrigerant removed from the system to an accuracy of 28 grams (1
oz.). See the operating instructions supplied by the equipment manufacturer for proper care and
use of this equipment.

Refrigerant: Service and Repair Refrigerant System - Evacuate
REFRIGERANT SYSTEM EVACUATE
NOTE: Special effort must be used to prevent moisture from entering the A/C system oil. Moisture
in the oil is very difficult to remove and
will cause a reliability problem with the compressor.
If a compressor designed to use R-134a refrigerant is left open to the atmosphere for an extended
period of time. It is recommended that the refrigerant oil be drained and replaced with new oil or a
new A/C compressor be used. This will eliminate the possibility of contaminating the refrigerant
system.
If the refrigerant system has been open to the atmosphere, it must be evacuated before the system
can be filled. Moisture and air mixed with the refrigerant will raise the compressor head pressure
above acceptable operating levels. This will reduce the performance of the A/C system and
damage the A/C compressor. Moisture will boil at near room temperature when exposed to
vacuum. To evacuate the refrigerant system:
NOTE: When connecting the service equipment coupling to the line fitting, verify that the valve of
the coupling is fully closed. This will reduce
the amount of effort required to make the connection.
1. Recover the refrigerant system See: Heating and Air Conditioning/Service and
Repair/Refrigerant System Recovery. 2. Connect a suitable charging station, refrigerant recovery
machine or a manifold gauge set with vacuum pump and refrigerant recovery equipment
See: Heating and Air Conditioning/Service and Repair/Refrigerant System Recovery.
3. Open the suction and discharge valves and start the vacuum pump. The vacuum pump should
run a minimum of 45 minutes prior to charge to
eliminate all moisture in system. When the suction gauge reads -88 kPa (-26 in. Hg) vacuum or
greater for 30 minutes, close all valves and turn off vacuum pump. If the system fails to reach
specified vacuum, the refrigerant system likely has a leak that must be corrected. If the refrigerant
system maintains specified vacuum for at least 30 minutes, start the vacuum pump, open the
suction and discharge valves. Then allow the system to evacuate an additional 10 minutes.
4. Close all valves. Turn off and disconnect the vacuum pump. 5. Charge the refrigerant system
See: Heating and Air Conditioning/Service and Repair/Refrigerant System Charge.

NOTE: A/C system refrigerant capacity can be found on the HVAC Specification Label, located in
the engine compartment.
After all refrigerant system leaks have been repaired and the refrigerant system has been
evacuated, a refrigerant charge can be injected into the system See: Heating and Air
Conditioning/Service and Repair/Refrigerant System Charge.
Use an R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging station that meets SAE standard J2788
when charging the A/C system. Per SAE standard J2788, refrigerant recovery stations must charge
the system to an accuracy of 14 grams (0.5 oz.). See the operating instructions supplied by the
equipment manufacturer for proper care and use of this equipment.
CHARGING PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) oil can contaminate the refrigerant system of a Hybrid
Electric Vehicle (HEV) and lead to A/C system
damage and failure. If the refrigerant recovery/recycling and charging equipment was last used on
a non-HEV model, flush the hoses of the equipment with a solvent approved by the equipment
manufacturer before using the equipment on an HEV model, or use refrigerant recovery/recycling
and charging equipment designated only for HEV models by your service facility. See the operating
instructions supplied by the equipment manufacturer for proper use and care of the refrigerant
recovery/recycling and charging equipment.
CAUTION: A small amount of refrigerant oil is removed from the A/C system each time the
refrigerant system is recovered and evacuated.
Before charging the A/C system, you MUST replenish any oil lost during the recovery process. See
the equipment manufacturer instructions for more information.
NOTE: The Underhood HVAC Specification Label contains the refrigerant fill capacity of the vehicle
being serviced.
1. Evacuate the refrigerant system See: Heating and Air Conditioning/Service and
Repair/Refrigerant System Evacuate. 2. Connect a manifold gauge set or an R-134a refrigerant
recovery/recycling/charging station that meets SAE standard J2788 to the refrigerant
system.
3. Measure the proper amount of refrigerant and heat it to 52° C (125° F) with the charging station
See: Heating and Air
Conditioning/Specifications/Capacity Specifications/Refrigerant Charge Capacity. See the
operating instructions supplied by the equipment manufacturer for proper use of this equipment.
4. Open both the suction and discharge valves, then open the charge valve to allow the heated
refrigerant to flow into the system. 5. When the transfer of refrigerant has stopped, close both the
suction and discharge valves. 6. If all of the refrigerant charge did not transfer from the dispensing
device, open all of the windows in the vehicle and set the heating-A/C system
controls so that the A/C compressor is operating and the blower motor is operating at its lowest
speed setting. Run the engine at a steady high idle (about 1400 rpm). If the A/C compressor does
not operate, test the compressor control circuits and repair as required.
7. Open the low-side valve to allow the remaining refrigerant to transfer to the refrigerant system.
WARNING: Take care not to open the discharge (high pressure) valve at this time. Failure to follow
this warning could result in possible
serious or fatal injury.
8. Disconnect the charging station and manifold gauge set from the refrigerant system service
ports.

in the A/C compressor is dispersed throughout the refrigerant system. The A/C receiver/drier, A/C
evaporator, A/C condenser and the A/C compressor will each retain a significant amount of the
needed refrigerant oil.
It is important to have the correct amount of refrigerant oil in the A/C system. This ensures proper
lubrication of the A/C compressor. Too little oil will result in damage to the A/C compressor, while
too much oil will reduce the cooling capacity of the A/C system and consequently result in higher
discharge air temperatures.
CAUTION: Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) oil can contaminate the refrigerant system of a Hybrid
Electric Vehicle (HEV) and lead to A/C system
damage and failure. If the refrigerant recovery/recycling and charging equipment was last used on
a non-HEV model, flush the hoses of the equipment with a solvent approved by the equipment
manufacturer before using the equipment on an HEV model, or use refrigerant recovery/recycling
and charging equipment designated only for HEV models by your service facility. See the operating
instructions supplied by the equipment manufacturer for proper use and care of the refrigerant
recovery/recycling and charging equipment.
CAUTION: ND-11 Polyester (POE) oil is used in the Denso ES34 A/C compressor found on HEV
models. Never use PAG oil in an HEV model
or operate the A/C system with an incorrect amount of oil in the system. Failure to follow this
caution may result in serious damage to the HEV A/C system.
CAUTION: ND-8 PAG oil is used in the Denso 10SR17 and 10SRE20 A/C compressors found on
gasoline engine models. Only refrigerant oil of
the same type should be used to service these A/C systems. Do not use any other refrigerant oil.
Failure to follow this caution may result in serious damage to the A/C system.
CAUTION: A/C refrigerant oil containers should be kept tightly capped until ready for use and then
tightly capped after use to prevent
contamination from moisture and dirt. Refrigerant oil quickly absorbs moisture it comes in contact
with, therefore, special effort must be used to keep all A/C system components moisture-free.
Moisture in refrigerant oil is very difficult to remove and will cause a reliability problem with the A/C
compressor.
NOTE: Most reclaim/recycling equipment will measure the lubricant being removed during
recovery. This amount of lubricant should be
added back into the system. Refer to the reclaim/recycling equipment manufacturers instructions.
It will not be necessary to check the oil level in the A/C 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 A/C condenser, A/C receiver/drier or A/C evaporator is
replaced (see Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart).
The refrigerant oil level in a new A/C compressor must first be adjusted prior to compressor
installation (see Compressor Oil Drain Procedure).
REFRIGERANT OIL CAPACITIES
COMPRESSOR OIL DRAIN PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Be certain to adjust the refrigerant system oil level when replacing an A/C compressor.
Failure to properly drain and measure the
refrigerant oil from the A/C compressor can prevent the A/C system from operating as designed
and cause serious compressor damage.

The A/C compressor is filled with refrigerant oil from the factory. Use the following procedure to
drain and measure refrigerant oil from the A/C compressor.
1. Drain all of the refrigerant oil from the original A/C compressor in the vehicle into a clean
measured container. 2. Drain all of the refrigerant oil from the new A/C compressor into a clean
measured container.
CAUTION: Use only clean refrigerant oil of the type recommended for the A/C compressor in the
vehicle.
3. Refill the new A/C compressor with the same amount and type of refrigerant oil that was drained
out of the original compressor. 4. Install the new A/C compressor onto the engine See: Heating and
Air Conditioning/Compressor HVAC/Service and Repair/A/C Compressor Installation.

The refrigerant oil used in the R-134a refrigerant system on models equipped with 3.7L, 4.7L and
5.7L gasoline engine, 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. Each PAG oil contains a different additive package. A/C
compressors in 3.7L, 4.7L and 5.7L gas engine models are designed to use ND-8 refrigerant oil.
Use only this type of refrigerant oil.
HEV Models
HEV MODELS
CAUTION: Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) oil can contaminate the refrigerant system of a Hybrid
Electric Vehicle (HEV) and lead to A/C system
damage and failure. If the refrigerant recovery/recycling and charging equipment was last used on
a non-HEV model, flush the hoses of the equipment with a solvent approved by the equipment
manufacturer before using the equipment on an HEV model, or use refrigerant recovery/recycling
and charging equipment designated only for HEV models by your service facility. See the operating
instructions supplied by the equipment manufacturer for proper use and care of the refrigerant
recovery/recycling and charging equipment.
The refrigerant oil used in the R-134a refrigerant system on HEV models is a synthetic Polyester
(POE) oil. Never use mineral based R-12 refrigerant oils or synthetic based PAG oils in HEV
refrigerant system.
There are different POE oil types and grades. Always use ND-11 POE refrigerant oil 68043289AA
from Mopar(R) in an HEV model. Use of an incorrect refrigerant oil may create a compatibility
problem and lead to A/C system failure.

Refrigerant Oil: Description and Operation Refrigerant Oil - Operation
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 A/C compressor damage, and too much can reduce A/C system
performance.
PAG refrigerant oil is 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.

DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) fuse that is disconnected within the
Integrated Power Module when the vehicle is shipped from the factory. Dealer personnel are to
reconnect the IOD fuse in the Integrated Power Module as part of the preparation procedures
performed just prior to new vehicle delivery. The following circuits are protected by the IOD fuse:
- Cluster (CCN)
- Diagnostic Connector
- Map Lamps
- Glove Box Lamp
- Courtesy Lamps
- Radio
- Underhood Lamp

Fuse: Description and Operation IOD Fuse - Operation
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. The only reason the IOD fuse
is disconnected 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.
The IOD fuse is disconnected from Integrated Power Module when the vehicle is shipped from the
assembly plant. Dealer personnel must reconnect 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 another Fused B(+) circuit fuse.
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 disconnecting 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.

HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
Chrysler 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 Chrysler
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. All switches,
components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and the key
removed from the ignition. 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.

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

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol 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 from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
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.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse Block > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1864
- 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.
- 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. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
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
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory 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.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse Block > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1865
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.

DESCRIPTION
An electrical Junction Block (JB) (1) is concealed behind the left outboard end of the instrument
panel cover. The JB combines the functions previously provided by a separate fuseblock module
and relay center, serves to simplify and centralize numerous electrical components, and to
distribute electrical current to many of the accessory systems in the vehicle. It also eliminates the
need for numerous splice connections and serves in place of a bulkhead connector between many
of the engine compartment, instrument panel, and body wire harnesses.
The molded plastic JB housing has integral mounting brackets that are secured with two screws to
the left instrument panel end bracket. The left end of the instrument panel cover has a snap-fit fuse
access panel that can be removed for service of the JB. A fuse puller and spare fuse holders are
located on the back of the fuse access cover, as well as a fuse layout to help ensure proper fuse
identification.
The JB unit cannot be repaired and is only serviced as an assembly. If any internal circuit or the JB
housing is faulty or damaged, the entire JB unit must be replaced.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Description and Operation Low Tire Pressure Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However,
on vehicles not equipped with the optional TPM, this indicator is electronically disabled. This
indicator is located in the speedometer dial face to the left of the speedometer needle hub in the
instrument cluster overlay.
The TPM indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of an icon that represents a cross-section of a
tire with a centered exclamation point in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The
dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The TPM indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Description and Operation Low Tire Pressure Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the status
of the TPM system. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit
board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the
Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM), over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The TPM indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED
always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the TPM indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the SKREEM sends an
electronic TPM indicator lamp-on message to the cluster to illuminate the TPM indicator for about
three seconds as a bulb test.
- TPM Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic TPM indicator
lamp-on message from the SKREEM, the TPM indicator illuminates. The indicator can be flashed
on and off, or illuminated solid, as dictated by the SKREEM message. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the SKREEM or until the ignition
switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no TPM lamp-on or lamp-off messages from the
SKREEM for six consecutive seconds, the TPM indicator is illuminated by the instrument cluster.
The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid lamp-on or lamp-off
message is received from the SKREEM.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the TPM indicator turns on, then off
again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the
cluster control circuitry.
The SKREEM performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position to
decide whether the TPM system is in good operating condition and whether the tire inflation
pressures are too high or low. The SKREEM then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message
to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). If the instrument
cluster turns on the TPM indicator after the bulb test, it indicates that the inflation pressure of a tire
is too low or that a malfunction has occurred and the TPM system is ineffective.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the TPM system, the SKREEM, the CCN, the
CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to TPM indicator operation. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Maintenance Required Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Oil Change Indicator Description
DESCRIPTION
A change oil indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles
manufactured for export markets, this indicator is electronically disabled. This indicator is located
within the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. However, on vehicles
equipped with the optional Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), the change oil indicator in
the odometer VFD is electronically suppressed so as not to duplicate indications that are provided
by the EVIC. The change oil indicator consists of cycling textual CHAngE and OIL messages which
appear in place of the odometer/trip odometer information in the odometer VFD unit.
The odometer VFD is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board, and is visible through a
window with a smoked clear lens located on the lower edge of the tachometer gauge dial face of
the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD prevents it from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. The change oil textual messages appear in the same blue-green color and at the same
lighting level as the odometer information when they are illuminated by the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The change oil indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD in the instrument cluster.

Maintenance Required Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Oil Change Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The change oil indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when a duty-cycle algorithm
contained within the software of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) determines that a
recommended oil change interval has been attained. This indicator is controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus from the PCM.
The change oil indicator function of the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) is completely controlled
by the instrument cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the
instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start)
circuit. Therefore, the VFD change oil indication is always off when the ignition switch is in any
position except ON or START. The instrument cluster turns on the change oil indicator for the
following reasons:
- Change Oil Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position and the cluster receives an electronic change oil indicator lamp-on message from the PCM
indicating that a duty-cycle based recommended oil change interval has been attained, the change
oil indicator illuminates for about three seconds, until the trip odometer reset switch button is
depressed, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Change Oil Indicator Reset Procedure - Once an engine oil change has been completed, the
PCM duty cycle counters can be reset using the following procedure. Turn the ignition switch to the
on position, butDo not start the engine. Slowly depress and release the accelerator pedal fully three
times within ten seconds. Turn the ignition switch to the off position. If the change oil indicator
illuminates the next time the engine is started, repeat this procedure.
The PCM continually monitors numerous sensor inputs to determine the duty-cycles to which the
engine is being subjected. A pre-programmed algorithm within the PCM then determines when to
send the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab
Compartment Node (CCN).
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the change oil indicator, the PCM, the CCN, the
CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to change oil indicator operation. Refer to
the appropriate diagnostic information.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Malfunction Indicator Lamp - Description
DESCRIPTION
A Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator
is located in the center of the speedometer, in the area to the left of the speedometer needle hub.
The MIL consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol icon for
Engine in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay
prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting
Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in
amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the
LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The MIL is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Malfunction Indicator Lamp - Operation
OPERATION
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has recorded a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for an On-Board
Diagnostics II (OBDII) emissions-related circuit or component malfunction. The MIL is controlled by
a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic
messages received by the cluster from the PCM over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The MIL Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit.
This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a battery
current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED is always off
when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only illuminates when it
is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument cluster turns on
the MIL for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the on position the indicator is illuminated for
about 15 seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the PCM.
- MIL Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic MIL lamp-on message from
the PCM, the indicator illuminates. The indicator can be flashed on and off, or illuminated solid, as
dictated by the PCM message. For some DTCs, if a problem does not recur, the PCM sends a
lamp-off message automatically. Other DTCs may require that a fault be repaired and the PCM be
reset before a lamp-off message is sent. For more information on the PCM, and the DTC set and
reset parameters, See: Powertrain Management/Emission Control Systems/Testing and Inspection.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-on or lamp-off messages from the PCM for
10 consecutive message cycles, the MIL is illuminated by the instrument cluster to indicate a loss
of bus communication. The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid
message is received from the PCM.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the MIL indicator turns on during the
bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the fuel and emissions system circuits and sensors to decide
whether the system is in good operating condition. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-on or
lamp-off message to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). For
further diagnosis of the MIL or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, See:
Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and
Inspection. If the CCN turns on the MIL after the bulb test, it may indicate that a malfunction has
occurred and that the fuel and emissions systems may require service.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the fuel and emissions systems, the PCM, the
CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to MIL operation. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp - Hybrid Drive: Description and Operation Hybrid Service Indicator Description
DESCRIPTION
A Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) service indicator is only found in the instrument clusters of vehicles
equipped with the optional hybrid system. This indicator is located near the upper edge of the
instrument cluster, between the tachometer and the speedometer.
The HEV service indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the combined International Control
and Display Symbol icon for Service, call for maintenance and a lightning bolt icon for Electricity in
the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the
indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED)
behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber
through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED,
which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The HEV service indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp - Hybrid Drive: Description and Operation Hybrid Service Indicator Operation
OPERATION
The Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) service indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when
the Hybrid Control Processor (HCP) integral to the Traction Power Inverter Module (TPIM) has
recorded a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for a hybrid systems-related circuit or component
malfunction. The HEV service indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit
board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the
HCP over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The HEV service indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED is always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the HEV service indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the ON position the indicator is illuminated for
about four seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the HCP.
- HEV Service Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic HEV service
lamp-on message from the HCP, the indicator illuminates. For some DTCs, if a problem does not
recur, the HCP sends a lamp-off message automatically. Other DTCs may require that a fault be
repaired and the HCP be reset before a lamp-off message is sent.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the HEV service indicator will be
turned ON during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the
cluster control circuitry.
The HCP continually monitors the HEV system circuits, sensors and components to decide
whether the system is in good operating condition. The HCP then sends the proper lamp-on or
lamp-off message to the instrument cluster also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). For
further diagnosis of the HEV service indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the
LED, See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing
and Inspection. If the CCN turns on the HEV service indicator after the bulb test, it may indicate
that a malfunction has occurred and that the HEV system may require service.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the HEV system, the HCP, the CCN, the CAN
data bus or the electronic communication related to HEV service indicator operation. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp - Hybrid Drive: Description and Operation Regenerative Brake Indicator
- Description
DESCRIPTION
A Regenerative Brake System (RBS) indicator is only found in the instrument clusters of vehicles
equipped with the optional Hybrid Electrical Vehicle (HEV) system. This indicator is located below
the minor gauge set on the left side of the cluster.
The RBS indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol
icon for Failure of Anti-lock Braking System in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay,
but with the letter R replacing the letter A in the ABS acronym. The dark outer layer of the overlay
prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting
Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in
amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the
LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The RBS indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp - Hybrid Drive: Description and Operation Regenerative Brake Indicator
- Operation
OPERATION
The Regenerative Brake System (RBS) indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when
the RBS system, or a circuit or component of the system is ineffective. This indicator is controlled
by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and
electronic messages received by the cluster from the Regenerative Brake Controller (RBC) (also
known as the Controller Antilock Brake/CAB) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The RBS indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED is
always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the RBS indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turns to the on position the RBS indicator is illuminated
for about four seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the RBC.
- RBS Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic RBS indicator
lamp-on message from the RBC, the RBS indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated
until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the RBC, or until the ignition switch turns to the
OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-on or lamp-off messages from the RBC for
five consecutive message cycles, the RBS indicator is illuminated. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a valid message from the RBC, or until the ignition switch is
turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Self Test - Each time the instrument cluster is put through the self test, the RBS indicator turns
on, then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED
and the cluster control circuitry.
- RBS Diagnostic Test - The RBS indicator is blinked on and off by lamp-on and lamp-off messages
from the RBC during the performance of the RBS diagnostic tests.
The RBC continually monitors the RBS circuits and sensors to decide whether the system is in
good operating condition. The RBC then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the
instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). If the RBC sends a lamp-on
message after the bulb test, it indicates that the RBC has detected a system malfunction or that the
RBS system has become ineffective. The RBC stores a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any
malfunction it detects. Each time the RBS indicator fails to light due to an open or short in the
cluster RBS indicator circuit, the cluster sends a message notifying the RBC of the condition, then
the instrument cluster and the RBC will each store a DTC.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the regenerative brake system, the RBC, the
CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to RBS indicator operation. Refer
to the appropriate diagnostic information.

DESCRIPTION
PREMIUM SYSTEM
A transponder, also known as a trigger module, is located in three of the four wheel wells (behind
the wheelhouse splash shields) of the vehicle to provide the WCM/SKREEM with the location of the
tire pressure sensors on the vehicle. A fourth transponder is not necessary in the remaining wheel
well due to the process-of-elimination theory. Once the system knows the location of the first three
sensors it assumes the location of the fourth tire pressure sensor.

Tire Pressure Monitor Receiver / Transponder: Description and Operation Tire Pressure Monitoring
(TPM) Transponder - Operation
OPERATION NUMBER: PREMIUM SYSTEM On vehicles equipped with the premium TPM
system, the Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote
Entry Module (SKREEM), uses transponders (trigger modules) located in three of the four wheel
wells on the vehicle to provide it with the location of the tire pressure sensors on the vehicle. Like
the base system, the WCM receives RF signals from all four rotating wheel speed sensors. When
the WCM needs to know which sensor is located at a particular location on the vehicle, it directs
the transponder at that location to send out a low frequency signal to excite the nearby sensor. The
WCM then receives that excited signal and knows where that sensor is located. This auto-locating
process only happens in the first 10 minutes of any WCM cycle while traveling at speeds above 20
mph (32 km/h) (Each WCM cycle ends when the vehicle has been shut off for a time period of
approximately 15 minutes or longer). Once the WCM has performed this to the three locations that
have transponders (left front, right front, and left rear wheel wells), it uses the
process-of-elimination theory to know that the fourth sensor ID signal is coming from the left rear
tire sensor.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures have been established for the tire size
equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. After-market wheels can
cause sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire sealants or balance beads if your vehicle is
equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
NOTE: After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always reinstall the valve stem cap. This will
prevent moisture and dirt from entering
the valve stem, which could damage the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor.
CAUTION: Tire pressure sensor valve stem caps and cores are specially designed for the sensors.
Due to risk of corrosion, do not use a
standard valve stem cap or core in a tire pressure sensor in place of the original equipment style
sensor cap and core.
CAUTION: After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always reinstall the valve stem cap. This
will prevent moisture and dirt from
entering the valve stem, which could damage the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new seal, cap and valve core must
be installed on the stem to ensure air tight
sealing.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system
accuracy.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensor Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System, one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel in place of the
traditional tire valve stem. Each sensor has an internal battery that lasts up to 10 years. The battery
is not serviceable. At the time of battery failure, the sensor must be replaced. The TPM system
operates on a 315 or 433 MHz radio frequency. The 315 MHz sensors can be easily identified by a
black sensor body, with (an oval insignia) (1). The 433 MHz sensors can be identified by a grey
sensor body with an oval insignia.
NOTE: If replacing the WCM, the spare tire must be dismounted from its wheel to access and note
the spare tire pressure sensor ID. Then
follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for "Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID"
under Miscellaneous Functions for the WCM wireless control module menu item as appropriate. In
addition, the placard pressure thresholds must be updated in the new WCM. Go to "Update
Pressure Thresholds" under Miscellaneous Functions for the WCM wireless control module and
follow the procedure.

mounted to each wheel in place of the traditional tire valve stem. Each sensor has an internal
battery that lasts up to 10 years. The battery is not serviceable. At the time of battery failure, the
sensor must be replaced.
The TPM system operates on a 315 MHz radio frequency. The 315 MHz sensors can be easily
identified by a black sensor body, with (an oval insignia) (1) and a grey valve cap (2).
The Export TPM system operates on a 433 MHz radio frequency. The 433 MHz sensors can be
easily identified by a gray sensor body (with an oval insignia) and a black valve cap (2).
CAUTION: Although 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and shape, they are not
interchangeable. Always make sure the
correct sensor is being used.
NOTE: Domestic vehicles, use the 315 MHz TPM sensors with the BLACK sensor body. For Export
vehicles, use the 433 MHz TPM sensors
with the GREY sensor body. Although 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and
shape, they are not interchangeable. Always make sure the correct color sensor is being used. A
RKE-TPM Analyzer can be used to determine the sensor's frequency without having to dismount
the tire.
NOTE: If aftermarket wheels are installed and do not contain tire pressure sensors, the system will
not function properly and the driver will
be continuously notified of a system malfunction.
The TPM sensors are designed for original style factory wheels. It is not recommended to install a
tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. (This could cause sealing and system performance
issues).

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensor Operation
OPERATION
The battery operated tire pressure sensor is both a transmitter and a receiver. The TPM sensor can
be forced to transmit if using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor's operating mode and to diagnose a
faulty TPM sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission
from a sensor. The TPM sensor can be in one of the following modes:
- Sleep Mode - A new TPM sensor will be in this mode. If placed on the vehicle as a road tire, the
TPM sensor will transmit once every 20 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15 mph
(24 km/h). If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a pressure change greater
then 1 psi (6.9 kPA). Driving the vehicle continuously at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h) for more
then 4 minutes will change the sensor state into 30 BLOCK MODE. The TPM sensor will not return
to SLEEP MODE. Now, if the vehicle has been stopped for 20 minutes, the TPM sensor state will
change to PARK MODE.
- Park Mode - This is the correct operating mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will
transmit once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 1 PSI delta change. The
sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to determine a change
in tire pressure
30 Block Mode - If the vehicle has been stopped for more then 20 minutes, or if the sensor's
operating mode was forced to Park Mode using a TPM-RKE Analyzer, the sensor's operating mode
will transition from Park Mode to 30 Block Mode once the vehicle is driven over 15mph. In this
mode, the sensor will transmit once every 15 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15
mph (24 km/h) for the first 30 transmissions. After about 8 minutes of continuous driving above 15
mph (24 km/h), the sensor's mode will change to Drive Mode
- Drive Mode - In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every minute when the vehicle is driven
at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). At any time that the vehicle speed drops below 15mph, the
sensor will not transmit. The sensor mode will still be in drive mode when the sensor reaches
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). If the vehicle has been stationary for more then 20 minutes, the
TPM sensor will change to PARK MODE.
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the wireless control module (WCM)
can monitor the state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The WCM can
automatically learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 10 minutes continuously above
15 m.p.h. (24 Km/h)" after a sensor has been replaced, The vehicle must be stationary for more
then 20 minutes in order to initiate the learning sequence.
The sensor IDs can also be programmed using the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool. Scan each TPM
sensor at each road wheel, and store each Sensor ID in the correct location. (LEFT FRONT, LEFT
REAR, RIGHT FRONT, and RIGHT REAR) Connect the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool to the Scan Tool.
Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic Scan Tool for "Program Tire Pressure
Sensor ID w/ TPM Tool" under "MISC" for the "WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE".

REMOVAL
1. Raise and support vehicle. 2. Remove tire and wheel assembly.
CAUTION: The cap used on this valve stem contains an O-ring seal to prevent contamination and
moisture from entering the valve stem. Do
not substitute a regular valve stem cap in its place.
CAUTION: The valve stem used on this vehicle is made of aluminum and the core is nickel plated
brass. The original valve stem core must be
reinstalled and not substituted with a valve stem core made of a different material. This is required
to prevent corrosion in the valve stem caused by the different metals.
3. Dismount tire from wheel following tire changer manufacturers instructions while paying special
attention to the following to avoid damaging the
pressure sensor: a. When breaking the tire bead loose from the wheel rim, avoid using the Bead
Breaker in the area of the sensor (1). That includes both outer and
inner beads of the tire.
b. When preparing to dismount the tire from the wheel, carefully insert the mounting/dismounting
tool 280° from the valve stem ± 10°, then
proceed to dismount the tire from the wheel. Use this process on both outer and inner tire beads.
4. Remove sensor nut (3) retaining sensor to wheel. While removing nut, hold pressure against
rear of metal valve stem to keep valve stem from
pushing rearward, damaging antenna strap.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Description and Operation Low Tire Pressure Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However,
on vehicles not equipped with the optional TPM, this indicator is electronically disabled. This
indicator is located in the speedometer dial face to the left of the speedometer needle hub in the
instrument cluster overlay.
The TPM indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of an icon that represents a cross-section of a
tire with a centered exclamation point in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The
dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The TPM indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Description and Operation Low Tire Pressure Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the status
of the TPM system. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit
board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the
Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM), over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The TPM indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED
always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the TPM indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the SKREEM sends an
electronic TPM indicator lamp-on message to the cluster to illuminate the TPM indicator for about
three seconds as a bulb test.
- TPM Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic TPM indicator
lamp-on message from the SKREEM, the TPM indicator illuminates. The indicator can be flashed
on and off, or illuminated solid, as dictated by the SKREEM message. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the SKREEM or until the ignition
switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no TPM lamp-on or lamp-off messages from the
SKREEM for six consecutive seconds, the TPM indicator is illuminated by the instrument cluster.
The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid lamp-on or lamp-off
message is received from the SKREEM.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the TPM indicator turns on, then off
again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the
cluster control circuitry.
The SKREEM performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position to
decide whether the TPM system is in good operating condition and whether the tire inflation
pressures are too high or low. The SKREEM then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message
to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). If the instrument
cluster turns on the TPM indicator after the bulb test, it indicates that the inflation pressure of a tire
is too low or that a malfunction has occurred and the TPM system is ineffective.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the TPM system, the SKREEM, the CCN, the
CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to TPM indicator operation. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

DESCRIPTION
PREMIUM SYSTEM
A transponder, also known as a trigger module, is located in three of the four wheel wells (behind
the wheelhouse splash shields) of the vehicle to provide the WCM/SKREEM with the location of the
tire pressure sensors on the vehicle. A fourth transponder is not necessary in the remaining wheel
well due to the process-of-elimination theory. Once the system knows the location of the first three
sensors it assumes the location of the fourth tire pressure sensor.

(TPM) Transponder - Operation
OPERATION NUMBER: PREMIUM SYSTEM On vehicles equipped with the premium TPM
system, the Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote
Entry Module (SKREEM), uses transponders (trigger modules) located in three of the four wheel
wells on the vehicle to provide it with the location of the tire pressure sensors on the vehicle. Like
the base system, the WCM receives RF signals from all four rotating wheel speed sensors. When
the WCM needs to know which sensor is located at a particular location on the vehicle, it directs
the transponder at that location to send out a low frequency signal to excite the nearby sensor. The
WCM then receives that excited signal and knows where that sensor is located. This auto-locating
process only happens in the first 10 minutes of any WCM cycle while traveling at speeds above 20
mph (32 km/h) (Each WCM cycle ends when the vehicle has been shut off for a time period of
approximately 15 minutes or longer). Once the WCM has performed this to the three locations that
have transponders (left front, right front, and left rear wheel wells), it uses the
process-of-elimination theory to know that the fourth sensor ID signal is coming from the left rear
tire sensor.

NOTE: If aftermarket wheels are installed and do not contain tire pressure sensors, the system will
not function properly and the driver will
be continuously notified of a system malfunction.
The TPM sensors are designed for original style factory wheels. It is not recommended to install a
tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. (This could cause sealing and system performance
issues).

The serviceable components of the tire pressure sensor are:
- Sensor-To-Wheel Seal (4)
- Valve Stem Cap (2)
- Valve Stem Core
- Valve Stem Nut (3)
The valve stem caps and cores used are specifically designed for the tire pressure monitoring
sensors. Although similar to standard valve stem caps and cores, they are different. The valve
stem cap has a special seal inside to keep moisture and corrosion out. The valve stem core has a
special nickel coating to protect from corrosion.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensor Operation
OPERATION
The battery operated tire pressure sensor is both a transmitter and a receiver. The TPM sensor can
be forced to transmit if using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor's operating mode and to diagnose a
faulty TPM sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission
from a sensor. The TPM sensor can be in one of the following modes:
- Sleep Mode - A new TPM sensor will be in this mode. If placed on the vehicle as a road tire, the
TPM sensor will transmit once every 20 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15 mph
(24 km/h). If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a pressure change greater
then 1 psi (6.9 kPA). Driving the vehicle continuously at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h) for more
then 4 minutes will change the sensor state into 30 BLOCK MODE. The TPM sensor will not return
to SLEEP MODE. Now, if the vehicle has been stopped for 20 minutes, the TPM sensor state will
change to PARK MODE.
- Park Mode - This is the correct operating mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will
transmit once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 1 PSI delta change. The
sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to determine a change
in tire pressure
30 Block Mode - If the vehicle has been stopped for more then 20 minutes, or if the sensor's
operating mode was forced to Park Mode using a TPM-RKE Analyzer, the sensor's operating mode
will transition from Park Mode to 30 Block Mode once the vehicle is driven over 15mph. In this
mode, the sensor will transmit once every 15 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15
mph (24 km/h) for the first 30 transmissions. After about 8 minutes of continuous driving above 15
mph (24 km/h), the sensor's mode will change to Drive Mode
- Drive Mode - In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every minute when the vehicle is driven
at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). At any time that the vehicle speed drops below 15mph, the
sensor will not transmit. The sensor mode will still be in drive mode when the sensor reaches
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). If the vehicle has been stationary for more then 20 minutes, the
TPM sensor will change to PARK MODE.
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the wireless control module (WCM)
can monitor the state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The WCM can
automatically learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 10 minutes continuously above
15 m.p.h. (24 Km/h)" after a sensor has been replaced, The vehicle must be stationary for more
then 20 minutes in order to initiate the learning sequence.
The sensor IDs can also be programmed using the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool. Scan each TPM
sensor at each road wheel, and store each Sensor ID in the correct location. (LEFT FRONT, LEFT
REAR, RIGHT FRONT, and RIGHT REAR) Connect the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool to the Scan Tool.
Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic Scan Tool for "Program Tire Pressure
Sensor ID w/ TPM Tool" under "MISC" for the "WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE".

REMOVAL
1. Raise and support vehicle. 2. Remove tire and wheel assembly.
CAUTION: The cap used on this valve stem contains an O-ring seal to prevent contamination and
moisture from entering the valve stem. Do
not substitute a regular valve stem cap in its place.
CAUTION: The valve stem used on this vehicle is made of aluminum and the core is nickel plated
brass. The original valve stem core must be
reinstalled and not substituted with a valve stem core made of a different material. This is required
to prevent corrosion in the valve stem caused by the different metals.
3. Dismount tire from wheel following tire changer manufacturers instructions while paying special
attention to the following to avoid damaging the
pressure sensor: a. When breaking the tire bead loose from the wheel rim, avoid using the Bead
Breaker in the area of the sensor (1). That includes both outer and
inner beads of the tire.
b. When preparing to dismount the tire from the wheel, carefully insert the mounting/dismounting
tool 280° from the valve stem ± 10°, then
proceed to dismount the tire from the wheel. Use this process on both outer and inner tire beads.

Tires: Description and Operation Tires
TIRES
Tires are designed and engineered for each specific vehicle. They provide the best overall
performance for normal operation. The ride and handling characteristics match the vehicle's
requirements. With proper care they will give excellent reliability, traction, skid resistance, and tread
life.
Driving habits have more effect on tire life than any other factor. Careful drivers will obtain in most
cases, much greater mileage than severe use or careless drivers. A few of the driving habits which
will shorten the life of any tire are:
- Rapid acceleration
- Severe brake applications
- High speed driving
- Excessive speeds on turns
- Striking curbs and other obstacles
Radial-ply tires are more prone to irregular tread wear. It is important to follow the tire rotation
interval See: Service and Repair/Procedures. This will help to achieve a greater tread life.
TIRE IDENTIFICATION
Tire type, size, aspect ratio and speed rating are encoded in the letters and numbers imprinted on
the side wall of the tire. Refer to the chart to decipher the tire identification code.
Performance tires have a speed rating letter after the aspect ratio number. The speed rating is not
always printed on the tire sidewall. These ratings are:
- Q up to 99 mph
- S up to 112 mph
- T up to 118 mph
- U up to 124 mph
- H up to 130 mph
- V up to 149 mph
- W (consult the tire manufacturer for the specific speed rating)
- Z more than 149 mph (consult the tire manufacturer for the specific speed rating)
An All Season type tire will have either M + S, M AND S or M-S (indicating mud and snow traction)
imprinted on the side wall.
TIRE CHAINS
Tire snow chains may be used on certain models.

Tires: Description and Operation Radial - Ply Tires
RADIAL-PLY TIRES
Radial-ply tires improve handling, tread life and ride quality, and decrease rolling resistance.
Radial-ply tires must always be used in sets of four. Under no circumstances should they be used
on the front only. They may be mixed with temporary spare tires when necessary. A maximum
speed of 80 KPH (50 MPH) is recommended while a temporary spare is in use.
Radial-ply tires have the same load-carrying capacity as other types of tires of the same size. They
also use the same recommended inflation pressures.
The use of oversized tires, either in the front or rear of the vehicle, can cause vehicle drive train
failure. This could also cause inaccurate wheel speed signals when the vehicle is equipped with
Anti-Lock Brakes.
The use of tires from different manufactures on the same vehicle is NOT recommended. The
proper tire pressure should be maintained on all four tires.

TIRE WEAR PATTERNS
Under inflation will cause wear on the shoulders of tire. Over inflation will cause wear at the center
of tire.
Excessive camber causes the tire to run at an angle to the road. One side of tread is then worn
more than the other.
Excessive toe-in or toe-out causes wear on the tread edges and a feathered effect across the
tread.

TIRE NOISE OR VIBRATION
Radial-ply tires are sensitive to force impulses caused by improper mounting, vibration, wheel
defects, or possibly tire imbalance.
To find out if tires are causing the noise or vibration, drive the vehicle over a smooth road at
varying speeds. Note the noise level during acceleration and deceleration. The engine, differential
and exhaust noises will change as speed varies, while the tire noise will usually remain constant.

TIRE REPAIR AREA
For proper repairing, a radial tire must be removed from the wheel. Repairs should only be made if
the defect, or puncture, is in the tread area (1). The tire should be replaced if the puncture is
located in the sidewall.
Deflate tire completely before removing the tire from the wheel. Use lubrication such as a mild soap
solution when dismounting or mounting tire. Use tools free of burrs or sharp edges which could
damage the tire or wheel rim.
Before mounting tire on wheel, make sure all rust is removed from the rim bead and repaint if
necessary.
Install wheel on vehicle, and tighten to proper torque specification.

NOTE:
This information applies to any model equipped with Chrome Clad Wheels.
DISCUSSION:
Models equipped with Chrome Clad wheels require specific piloting on balance equipment to
properly center the wheel and prevent damage to the chrome clad surface. The chrome cladding is
not removable or replaceable and has cladding tabs that extend into the wheel bore. Traditional
high-taper cones will come into contact with the cladding tabs rather than properly seat on the hub
bore chamfer. Many modern aluminum wheel designs cannot be mounted with traditional cones.
Direct-Fit Collets should be used to properly mount clad wheels on balance equipment (Fig 1).
SPECIAL TOOLS/EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:
NOTE:
This kit includes the adapters for all Dodge, Chrysler & Jeep models with clad wheels. Individual
adapters for specific wheel sizes can be ordered separately. To order a kit or individual adapters,
contact Pentastar Service Equipment @ 1-800-223-5623.

Wheels: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The rim size is on the vehicle safety certification label located on the drivers door shut face.
Original equipment wheels/rims are designed for operation up to the specified maximum vehicle
capacity.
All models use stamped steel, cast aluminum or forged aluminum wheels. Every wheel has raised
sections between the rim flanges (1) and rim drop well (3) called safety humps.
Initial inflation of the tire forces the bead over these raised sections. In case of rapid loss of air
pressure, the raised sections help hold the tire on the wheel.
The wheel studs and nuts are designed for specific applications. All aluminum and some steel
wheels have wheel stud nuts with an enlarged nose. This enlarged nose is necessary to ensure
proper retention of the wheels. Do not use replacement studs or nuts with a different design or
lesser quality.

Wheels: Testing and Inspection
WHEEL INSPECTION
Inspect wheels for:
- Excessive run out
- Dents or cracks
- Damaged wheel lug nut holes
- Air Leaks from any area or surface of the rim
NOTE: Do not attempt to repair a wheel by hammering, heating or welding.
If a wheel is damaged an original equipment replacement wheel should be used. When obtaining
replacement wheels, they should be equivalent in load carrying capacity. The diameter, width,
offset, pilot hole and bolt circle of the wheel should be the same as the original wheel.
WARNING: Failure to use equivalent replacement wheels may adversely affect the safety and
handling of the vehicle. Used wheels are not
recommended. The service history of the wheel may have included severe treatment or very high
mileage. The rim could fail without warning.
WARNING: Chrysler LLC does not recommend that customers use "reconditioned" wheels (wheels
that have been damaged and repaired)
because they can result in a sudden catastrophic wheel failure which could cause loss of control
and result in injury or death.
For Clarification:
- Cosmetic refinishing for the purpose of repairing a superficial flaw is an acceptable procedure
providing it is limited to paint or clear coat only, the wheel is not modified in any way, and there is
no exposure to paint curing heat over 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Damaged wheels are those which have been bent, broken, cracked or sustained some other
physical damage which may have compromised the wheel structure
- Repaired indicates that the wheel has been modified through bending, welding, heating,
straightening, or material removal to rectify damage.
- Re-plating of chrome plated wheels is not an acceptable procedure nor is chrome plating of
original equipment painted or polished wheels, as this may alter mechanical properties and affect
fatigue life.

Towing Information: Service and Repair Towing
SPECIFICATIONS
In this article you will find safety tips and information on limits to the type of towing you can
reasonably do with the vehicle. Before towing a trailer carefully review this information to tow the
load as efficiently and safely as possible.
To maintain warranty coverage, follow the requirements and recommendations concerning vehicles
used for trailer towing.
Common Towing Definitions
The following trailer towing related definitions will assist you in understanding the following
information:
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
The GVWR is the total allowable weight of the vehicle. This includes driver, passengers, cargo and
tongue weight. The total load must be limited so that you do not exceed the GVWR.
Gross Trailer Weight (GTW)
The Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) is the weight of the trailer plus the weight of all cargo,
consumables and equipment (permanent or temporary) loaded in or on the trailer in its "loaded and
ready for operation" condition. The recommended way to measure GTW is to put the fully loaded
trailer on a vehicle scale. The entire weight of the trailer must be supported by the scale.
Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR)
The Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) is the total permissible weight of the vehicle and
trailer when weighed in combination. (Note that GCWR ratings include a 150 lbs (68 kg) allowance
for the presence of a driver).
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
The GAWR is the maximum capacity of the front and rear axles. Distribute the load over the front
and rear axles evenly. Make sure that you do not exceed either front or rear GAWR.
WARNING: It is important that you do not exceed the maximum front or rear GAWR. A dangerous
driving condition can result if either
rating is exceeded. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious or fatal injury.
Tongue Weight (TW)
The downward force exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer is the tongue weight. In most cases it
should not be less than 10% or more than 15% of the trailer load. You must consider this as part of
the load on the vehicle.
Frontal Area
The maximum height and maximum width of the front of a trailer.
TSC (Trailer Sway Control) - If Equipped
- Trailer Sway Control - Electronic TSC uses sensors in the vehicle to recognize a swaying trailer
and will take the appropriate actions to attempt to stop the sway. The system will reduce engine
power and apply individual brakes that will counteract the sway of the trailer. TSC will become
active automatically once the swaying trailer is recognized. No driver action is required. TSC
cannot stop all trailers from swaying. Always use caution when towing a trailer and follow the
tongue weight recommendations. Even if the vehicle is equipped with electronic TSC, mechanical
sway control is recommended when appropriate for the size of the trailer.
Trailer Sway Control - Mechanical The trailer sway control is a telescoping link that can be installed
between the hitch receiver and the trailer tongue that typically provides adjustable friction
associated with the telescoping motion to dampen any unwanted trailer swaying motions while
traveling.
Weight-Carrying Hitch
A weight-carrying hitch supports the trailer tongue weight, just as if it were luggage located at a
hitch ball or some other connecting point of the vehicle. These kind of hitches are the most popular
on the market today and they're commonly used to tow small- and medium-sized trailers.
Weight-Distributing Hitch
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Towing Information > System Information > Service and Repair > Towing >
Page 2081
A weight-distributing system works by applying leverage through spring (load) bars. They are
typically used for heavier loads, to distribute trailer tongue weight to the tow vehicle's front axle and
the trailer axle(s). When used in accordance with the manufacturers' directions, it provides for a
more level ride, offering more consistent steering and brake control thereby enhancing towing
safety. The addition of a friction/hydraulic sway control also dampens sway caused by traffic and
crosswinds and contributes positively to tow vehicle and trailer stability. trailer sway control and a
weight distributing (load equalizing) hitch are recommended for heavier tongue weights and may be
required depending on vehicle and trailer configuration/loading to comply with Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) requirements.
WARNING: An improperly adjusted Weight-Distributing Hitch system may reduce handling,
stability, braking performance, and could result
in an accident. Weight-Distributing Systems may not be compatible with surge brake couplers.
Consult with the hitch and trailer manufacturer or a reputable recreational vehicle dealer for
additional information. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious or fatal injury.
Fifth-Wheel Hitch
A fifth-wheel hitch is a special high platform with a coupling that mounts over the rear axle of the
tow vehicle in the truck bed. Connects a vehicle and fifth-wheel trailer with a coupling king pin.
Gooseneck Hitch
The gooseneck hitch employs a pivoted coupling arm which attaches to a ball mounted in the bed
of a pickup truck. The coupling arm connects to the hitch mounted over the rear axle in the truck
bed.
Trailer Hitch Classification
The rear bumper is intended to tow trailers up to 2,000 lbs (907 kg) without added equipment or
alterations to the standard equipment. the vehicle may be factory equipped for safe towing of
trailers weighing over 2,000 lbs (907 kg) with the optional Trailer Tow Prep Package. See the
authorized dealer for package content.
The following chart provides the industry standard for the maximum trailer weight a given trailer
hitch class can tow and should be used to assist you in selecting the correct trailer hitch for the
intended towing condition. Refer to Trailer Towing Weights (Maximum Trailer Weight Ratings) for
the website address that contains the necessary information for the specific drivetrain.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Towing Information > System Information > Service and Repair > Towing >
Page 2082
All trailer hitches should be professionally installed on the vehicle.
Trailer Towing Weights (Maximum Trailer Weight Ratings)
Trailer and Tongue Weight
Always load a trailer with 60% to 65% of the weight in the front of the trailer. This places 10% to
15% of the Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) on the tow hitch of the vehicle. Loads balanced over the
wheels or heavier in the rear can cause the trailer to sway severely side to side which will cause
loss of control of vehicle and trailer. Failure to load trailers heavier in front is the cause of many
trailer accidents.
Never exceed the maximum tongue weight stamped on the bumper or trailer hitch.
Consider the following items when computing the weight on the rear axle of the vehicle:
- The tongue weight of the trailer.
- The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment put in or on the vehicle.
- The weight of the driver and all passengers.
NOTE: Remember that everything put into or on the trailer adds to the load on the vehicle. Also,
additional factory-installed options, or
dealer-installed options, must be considered as part of the total load on the vehicle. See: Wheels
and Tires/Service and Repair/Procedures Tire and Loading Information placard in the Tire Safety
Information section.
Towing Requirements
To promote proper break-in of the new vehicle drivetrain components the following guidelines are
recommended:
CAUTION:
- Avoid towing a trailer for the first 500 mi (805 km) of vehicle operation. Doing so may damage the
vehicle.
- During the first 500 mi (805 km) of trailer towing, limit the speed to 50 mph (80 km/h).
When towing a trailer, never exceed the GAWR, or GCWR, ratings.
WARNING: Improper towing can lead to an injury accident. Follow these guidelines to make the
trailer towing as safe as possible:
Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer and will not shift during travel. When trailering
cargo that is not fully secured, dynamic load shifts can occur that may be difficult for the driver to
control. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious or fatal injury.
- When hauling cargo or towing a trailer, do not overload the vehicle or trailer. Overloading can
cause a loss of control, poor performance or damage to brakes, axle, engine, transmission,
steering, suspension, chassis structure or tires.
- Safety chains must always be used between the vehicle and trailer. Always connect the chains to
the frame or hook retainers of the vehicle hitch. Cross the chains under the trailer tongue and allow
enough slack for turning corners.
- Vehicles with trailers should not be parked on a grade. When parking, apply the parking brake on
the tow vehicle. Put the tow vehicle automatic transmission in PARK. With a manual transmission,
shift the transmission into REVERSE. And with four-wheel drive vehicles, make sure the
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Towing Information > System Information > Service and Repair > Towing >
Page 2083
transfer case is not in NEUTRAL. Always, block or "chock" the trailer wheels.
- GCWR must not be exceeded.
- Total weight must be distributed between the tow vehicle and the trailer so that the following four
ratings are not exceeded:
- GVWR
- GTW
- GAWR
- Tongue weight rating for the trailer hitch utilized (This requirement may limit the ability to always
achieve the 10% to 15% range of tongue weight as a percentage of total trailer weight).
Towing Requirements - Tires
- Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact spare tire.
- Proper tire inflation pressures are essential to the safe and satisfactory operation of the vehicle.
Refer to the Tires-General Information section on Tire Pressures for proper tire inflation
procedures.
- Also, check the trailer tires for proper tire inflation pressures before trailer usage.
- Check for signs of tire wear or visible tire damage before towing a trailer.See: Wheels and
Tires/Tires/Description and Operation section on Tread Wear Indicators for the proper inspection
procedure.
- When replacing tires See: Wheels and Tires/Tires/Description and Operation section on
Replacement Tires for proper tire replacement procedures. Replacing tires with a higher load
carrying capacity will not increase the vehicle's GVWR and GAWR limits.
Towing Requirements - Trailer Brakes
- Do not interconnect the hydraulic brake system or vacuum system of the vehicle with that of the
trailer. This could cause inadequate braking and possible personal injury.
- An electronically actuated trailer brake controller is required when towing a trailer with
electronically actuated brakes. When towing a trailer equipped with a hydraulic surge actuated
brake system, an electronic brake controller is not required.
- Trailer brakes are recommended for trailers over 1,000 lbs (454 kg) and required for trailers in
excess of 2,000 lbs (907 kg).
CAUTION: If the trailer weighs more than 454 kg (1,000 lbs) loaded, it should have its own brakes
and they should be of adequate capacity.
Failure to do this could lead to accelerated brake lining wear, higher brake pedal effort, longer
stopping distances and may result in serious or fatal injury.
WARNING: Do not connect trailer brakes to the vehicle's hydraulic brake lines. It can overload the
brake system and cause it to fail. You
might not have brakes when you need them and could have an accident. Towing any trailer will
increase the stopping distance. When towing you should allow for additional space between the
vehicle and the vehicle in front of you. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious or
fatal injury.
Towing Requirements - Trailer Lights AND Wiring
Whenever you pull a trailer, regardless of the trailer size, stop lights and turn signals on the trailer
are required for motoring safety.
The Trailer Tow Package may include a 4- and 7-pin wiring harness. Use a factory approved trailer
harness and connector.
NOTE: Do not cut or splice wiring into the vehicle's wiring harness.
The electrical connections are all complete to the vehicle but you must mate the harness to a trailer
connector. Refer to the illustrations and.

Towing Tips
Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping and backing the trailer in an area away from
heavy traffic.
If using a manual transmission vehicle for trailer towing, all starts must be in FIRST gear to avoid
excessive clutch slippage.
Towing Tips - Automatic Transmission
The D range can be selected when towing. However, if frequent shifting occurs while in this range,
the TOW HAUL feature should be selected.
NOTE: Using the TOW HAUL feature while operating the vehicle under heavy operating conditions
will improve performance and extend
transmission life by reducing excessive shifting and heat build up. This action will also provide
better engine braking.
The automatic transmission fluid and filter should be changed if you REGULARLY tow a trailer for
more than 45 minutes of continuous operation. See: for transmission fluid change intervals.
NOTE: Check the automatic transmission fluid level before towing.
Towing Tips - Tow/Haul (If Equipped)
To reduce potential for automatic transmission overheating, turn the TOW HAUL feature ON when
driving in hilly areas or shift the transmission to Drive position 2 on more severe grades.
Towing Tips - Electronic Speed Control (If Equipped)
- Don't use in hilly terrain or with heavy loads.
- When using the speed control, if you experience speed drops greater than 10 mph (16 km/h),
disengage until you can resume cruising speed.
- Use speed control in flat terrain and with light loads to maximize fuel efficiency.
Towing Tips - Cooling System
To reduce potential for engine and transmission overheating, take the following actions:
- City Driving - When stopped for short periods of time, put transmission in neutral and increase
engine idle speed.
- Highway Driving - Reduce speed.
- Air Conditioning - Turn off temporarily.
- Refer to Cooling System Operating information in the Maintenance section for more information.

CAUTION: The manufacturer recommends towing with all wheels OFF the ground. Acceptable
methods are to tow the vehicle on a flat bed or
with one end of the vehicle raised and the opposite end on a towing dolly.
A vehicle equipped with SAE- approved wheel lift-type towing equipment can be used to tow all
vehicles. When towing a 4WD vehicle using a wheel-lift towing device, use tow dollies under the
opposite end of the vehicle. A vehicle with a flat bed device can also be used to transport a
disabled vehicle.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: The following safety precautions must be observed when towing a vehicle:
- Secure loose and protruding parts.
- Always use a safety chain system that is independent of the lifting and towing equipment.
- Do not allow towing equipment to contact the disabled vehicle's fuel tank.
- Do not allow anyone under the disabled vehicle while it is lifted by the towing device.
- Do not allow passengers to ride in a vehicle being towed.
- Always observe state and local laws regarding towing regulations.
- Do not tow a vehicle in a manner that could jeopardize the safety of the operator, pedestrians or
other motorists.
- Do not attach tow chains, T-hooks, or J-hooks to a bumper, steering linkage, drive shafts or a
non-reinforced frame hole.
- Do not tow a heavily loaded vehicle. Use a flat bed device to transport a loaded vehicle.
GROUND CLEARANCE
CAUTION: If vehicle is towed with wheels removed, install lug nuts to retain brake drums or rotors.
Raise the towed vehicle until lifted wheels are a minimum 100 mm (4 in) from the ground. Be sure
there is adequate distance above the ground at the opposite end of the vehicle, especially when
towing over rough terrain or steep rises in the road.
RAMP ANGLE
If towing with flat bed equipment, the approach ramp angle should not exceed 15 degrees.
TOWING WHEN KEYS ARE NOT AVAILABLE
When the vehicle is locked and keys are not available, tow with flat bed equipment. A wheel-lift
device can be used on 4WD vehicles provided all the wheels are lifted off the ground using tow
dollies.

Towing Information: Service and Repair Recreational Towing (Behind Motorhome, etc.)
RECREATIONAL TOWING (BEHIND MOTORHOME, ETC.) OF 4X4 VEHICLES
HEV Vehicles
CAUTION: Recreational towing of hybrid models is not allowed. Towing the vehicle with the
transmission in neutral can cause severe
transmission damage. Removal of the driveshaft for towing is not recommended since this allows
transmission fluid to leak out.
Non-HEV Vehicles
WARNING: You or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer
case in the Neutral (N) position without first
fully engaging the parking brake. The transfer case Neutral (N) position disengages both the front
and rear driveshafts from the powertrain and will allow the vehicle to move despite the transmission
position. The parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle. Failure
to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
CAUTION: Internal damage to the transfer case will occur if a front or rear wheel lift is used when
recreational towing.
NOTE: Because of the design of the transfer cases, only use vehicles equipped with a NV 244
Generation II transfer case should be used for
recreational towing.
NOTE: The NV 244 Generation II transfer case must be shifted into Neutral (N) for recreational
towing. The Neutral (N) selection button is
located on the lower left hand corner of the 4WD control switch. Shifts into and out of transfer case
Neutral (N) can take place with the selector switch in any mode position.
NOTE: If the vehicle is to be towed for multiple days or one day for an eight hour or above duration,
disconnect and isolate the battery to
prevent discharge due to the illumination of the odometer and PRNDL light. Reset the radio, clock
and stations after the negative battery cable is reinstalled.
Shifting into Neutral (N)
Use the following procedure to prepare your vehicle for recreational towing:
CAUTION: It is necessary to follow these steps to be certain that the transfer case is fully in Neutral
(N) before recreational towing to prevent
damage to internal parts.
- Bring vehicle to a complete stop.
- Turn the engine OFF.
- Place the ignition key in the ON position.
- Press the brake pedal.
- Shift the automatic transmission to Neutral (N) or press the clutch on manual transmission.
- Using the point of a ballpoint pen or similar object, press the recessed transfer case Neutral (N)
button for four seconds.
- After shift is completed and the Neutral (N) light comes on release Neutral (N) button.
- Start the engine.
- Shift the automatic transmission into Reverse (R).
- Release the brake pedal for five seconds and make sure that there is no vehicle movement.
- Repeat steps 9 and 10 with the transmission in Drive (D).
- Turn the engine off and place the ignition key to the unlocked OFF position.
- Shift the automatic transmission into Park (P).
- Attach the vehicle to tow vehicle with a tow bar.
NOTE: Items 1 through 5 are requirements that must be met prior to pressing the Neutral (N)
selection button, and must continue to be met
until the four seconds elapses and the shift has been completed. If any of these requirements (with
the exception of 3 - Key on) are not met prior to pressing the Neutral (N) button or are no longer
met during the four second timer, then the Neutral (N) indicator light flashes continuously until all
requirements are met or until the Neutral (N) button is released.
NOTE: The ignition key must be on for a shift to take place and for the position indicator lights to be
operable. If the key is not on, the shift
will not take place and no position indicator lights will be on or flashing.
NOTE: Flashing neutral (N) position indicator light indicates that shift requirements have not been
met.
CAUTION: Damage to the transmission may occur if the transmission is shifted into Park (P) with
the transfer case in Neutral (N) and the
engine running. With the transfer case in Neutral (N), make sure the engine is off prior to shifting
the transmission into Park (P).

Valve Deactivation Solenoid: Description and Operation MDS System - Description
DESCRIPTION
The Multiple Displacement System (MDS) provides cylinder deactivation during steady-speed,
low-acceleration and shallow grade climbing conditions to increase fuel economy.
MDS can provide a 5-20 percent fuel economy benefit when operating in four-cylinder mode,
depending on driving habits and vehicle usage. For EPA rating purposes, fuel economy is 8-15
percent higher than if the engine was operating on eight cylinders at all times.
MDS is integrated into the basic engine architecture, requiring a minimum of additional parts - four
additional solenoids, an oil temperature sensor and a wire harness. Eight unique valve lifters and a
modified camshaft are also required.

Valve Deactivation Solenoid: Description and Operation MDS System - Operation
OPERATION
The Multiple Displacement System (MDS) provides cylinder deactivation during steady speed, low
acceleration and shallow grade climbing conditions to increase fuel economy. Both four and eight
cylinder configurations have even firing intervals provide smooth operation. Two cylinders on each
bank are active when the engine is in four-cylinder mode - every other cylinder in the firing order.
All of the cylinders that are deactivated have unique hydraulic valve lifters that collapse when
deactivated to prevent the valves from opening. Engine oil pressure is used to activate and
deactivate the valves. It is delivered through special oil passages drilled into the cylinder block.
Solenoid valves control the flow. When activated, pressurized oil pushes a latching pin on each
valve lifter, which then becomes a "lost motion" link. Its base follows the camshaft, but its top
remains stationary, held in place against the pushrod by light spring pressure but unable to move
because of the much higher force of the valve spring.
NOTE: It is critical to use the recommended oil viscosity in 5.7L engines that use MDS.
Deactivation occurs during the compression stroke of each cylinder, after air and fuel enter the
cylinder. Ignition then occurs, but the combustion products remain trapped in the cylinder under
high pressure, because the valves no longer open. No air enters or leaves. During subsequent
piston strokes, this high-pressure gas is repeatedly compressed and expanded like an air spring,
but fuel is not injected.

OPERATION
The Variable Cam Timing (VCT) assembly is actuated with engine oil pressure. The oil flow to the
VCT assemblies are controlled by an Oil Control Valve (OCV). The OCV consist of a Pulse Width
Modulated (PWM) solenoid and a spool valve. The PCM actuates the OCV to control oil flow
through the spool valve into the VCT assemblies. The VCT assembly consists of a rotor, stator,
and sprocket. The stator is connected to the timing chain through the sprocket. The rotor is
connected to the camshaft. Oil flow in to the VCT assembly rotates the rotor with respect to the
stator, thus rotating the exhaust camshaft with respect to the timing chain and intake camshaft. An
infinitely variable cam timing position can be achieved within the limits of the hardware. The CMP
monitors the position of the camshaft with respect to the crankshaft and provides feedback to the
PCM.
CAUTION: Never attempt to disassemble the camshaft phaser, severe engine damage could

NOTE: The results of a cylinder compression pressure test can be utilized to diagnose several
engine malfunctions.
NOTE: 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. Clean the spark plug recesses with compressed air. 2. Remove the spark plugs and record the
cylinder number of each spark plug for future reference. 3. Inspect the spark plug electrodes for
abnormal firing indicators such as fouled, hot, oily, etc. 4. Disable the fuel system See: Cylinder
Head Assembly/Fuel Pressure Release/Service and Repair and perform the fuel system pressure
release
procedure.
5. Insert a compression pressure gauge and rotate the engine with the engine starter motor for
three revolutions. 6. Record the compression pressure on the 3rd revolution. Continue the test for
the remaining cylinders.
NOTE: 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.
7. Compression should not be less than 689 kPa (100 psi) and not vary more than 25 percent from
cylinder to cylinder. 8. If one or more cylinders have abnormally low compression pressures, repeat
the compression test.
NOTE: 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.
9. If one or more cylinders continue to have abnormally low compression pressures, perform the
cylinder combustion pressure leakage test See:

DESCRIPTION
The Multiple Displacement System (MDS) provides cylinder deactivation during steady speed, low
acceleration and shallow grade climbing conditions to increase fuel economy.
The MDS can provide a 5 to 20 percent fuel economy benefit when operating in four-cylinder
mode. Depending on driving habits and vehicle usage. Fuel economy is 8 to 15 percent higher than
if the engine was operating on eight-cylinders at all times.
MDS is integrated into the basic engine architecture, requiring a minimum of additional parts - four
additional solenoids, an oil temperature sensor, a wire harness, eight unique valve lifters (1), and a
modified camshaft.
The MDS lifter (1) can be identified by the disconnecting pin (3) on the side of the lifter.

Lifter / Lash Adjuster: Description and Operation Hydraulic Lifters - Operation
OPERATION
The Multiple Displacement System (MDS) provides cylinder deactivation during steady speed, low
acceleration and shallow grade climbing conditions to increase fuel economy. Both four and eight
cylinder configurations have even firing intervals provide smooth operation. Two cylinders on each
bank are active when the engine is in four-cylinder mode - every other cylinder in the firing order.
All of the cylinders that are deactivated have unique hydraulic valve lifters that collapse when
deactivated to prevent the valves from opening. Engine oil pressure is used to activate and
deactivate the valves. It is delivered through special oil passages drilled into the cylinder block.
Solenoid valves control the flow. When activated, pressurized oil pushes a latching pin on each
valve lifter, which then becomes a "lost motion" link. Its base follows the camshaft, but its top
remains stationary, held in place against the pushrod by light spring pressure but unable to move
because of the much higher force of the valve spring.
NOTE: It is critical to use the recommended oil viscosity in 5.7L engines that use MDS.
Deactivation occurs during the compression stroke of each cylinder, after air and fuel enter the
cylinder. Ignition then occurs, but the combustion products remain trapped in the cylinder under
high pressure, because the valves no longer open. No air enters or leaves. During subsequent
piston strokes, this high-pressure gas is repeatedly compressed and expanded like an air spring,
but fuel is not injected.

Lifter / Lash Adjuster: Testing and Inspection
HYDRAULIC TAPPETS
Check the oil pressure before disassembling any part of the engine to correct tappet noise. If
vehicle has no oil pressure gauge, install a reliable gauge at the pressure sending-unit. The
pressure should be between 207-552 kPa (30-80 psi) at 3,000 RPM.
Check the oil level after the engine reaches normal operating temperature. Allow five minutes for
the oil level to stabilize before checking the oil level. The oil level in the pan should never be above
the FULL mark or below the ADD OIL mark on the dipstick. Either of these two conditions could be
responsible for noisy tappets.
OIL LEVEL
HIGH
If the oil level is above the FULL mark, it is possible for the connecting rods to dip into the oil. With
the engine running, this condition could create foam in the oil pan. Foam in the oil pan would be fed
to the hydraulic tappets by the oil pump causing them to lose length and allow the valves to seat
noisily.
LOW
Low oil level may allow the oil pump to take in air. When air is fed to the tappets, they lose length,
which allows valves to seat noisily. Any leaks on the intake side of the oil pump through which air
can be drawn creates the same tappet action. Check the lubrication system from the intake strainer
to the pump cover, including the relief valve retainer cap. When tappet noise is due to aeration, it
may be intermittent or constant, and usually more than one tappet will be noisy. When the oil level
and leaks have been corrected, operate the engine at fast idle. Run the engine for a sufficient
amount of time to allow all of the air inside the tappets to be bleed out.
TAPPET NOISE DIAGNOSIS
1. To determine the source of tappet noise, crank the engine over with the cylinder head covers
removed. 2. Feel each valve spring or rocker arm to detect the noisy tappet. The noisy tappet will
cause the affected spring and/or rocker arm to vibrate or feel
rough in operation.
NOTE: Worn valve guides or cocked springs are sometimes mistaken for noisy tappets. 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 pushrod sockets and pushrod ends for wear.
3. Valve tappet noise ranges from light noise to a heavy click. A light noise is usually caused by
excessive leak-down around the unit plunger, or by
the plunger partially sticking in the tappet body cylinder. The tappet should be replaced. A heavy
click is caused by a tappet check valve not seating, or by foreign particles wedged between the
plunger and the tappet body. This will cause 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, tappet assembly should be removed for inspection and cleaning.
4. The valve train generates a noise very much like a light tappet noise during normal operation.
Care must be taken to ensure that tappets are making
the noise. If more than one tappet seems to be noisy, it's probably not the tappets.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation Variable Valve Timing Assembly Description
DESCRIPTION
The 5.7L Eagle engine is equipped with Variable Cam Timing (VCT). This system advances and/or
retards the camshaft timing to improve engine performance, mid-range torque, idle quality, fuel
economy, and reduce emissions. The VCT assembly is sometimes referred to as a camshaft
phaser.
CAUTION: Never attempt to disassemble the camshaft phaser, severe engine damage could
result.
The VCT assembly consists of the camshaft sprocket and a timing phaser. The VCT phaser
assembly bolts to the camshaft and is serviced as an assembly.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation Variable Valve Timing Assembly Operation
OPERATION
The Variable Cam Timing (VCT) assembly is actuated with engine oil pressure. The oil flow to the
VCT assemblies are controlled by an Oil Control Valve (OCV). The OCV consist of a Pulse Width
Modulated (PWM) solenoid and a spool valve. The PCM actuates the OCV to control oil flow
through the spool valve into the VCT assemblies. The VCT assembly consists of a rotor, stator,
and sprocket. The stator is connected to the timing chain through the sprocket. The rotor is
connected to the camshaft. Oil flow in to the VCT assembly rotates the rotor with respect to the
stator, thus rotating the exhaust camshaft with respect to the timing chain and intake camshaft. An
infinitely variable cam timing position can be achieved within the limits of the hardware. The CMP
monitors the position of the camshaft with respect to the crankshaft and provides feedback to the
PCM.
CAUTION: Never attempt to disassemble the camshaft phaser, severe engine damage could
result.

PISTON FITTING
1. To correctly select the proper size piston, a cylinder bore gauge (2), capable of reading in 0.003
mm (0.0001 in.) INCREMENTS is required. If a
bore gauge is not available, do not use an inside micrometer.
2. Measure the inside diameter of the cylinder bore at a point 38.0 mm (1.5 inches) below top of
bore (4). Start perpendicular (across or at 90
degrees) to the axis of the crankshaft at point A (1) and then take an additional bore reading 90
degrees to that at point B (1).
3. The coated pistons will be serviced with the piston pin and connecting rod pre-assembled. The
piston-rod assembly is specific for the left cylinder
bank (odd numbered) and the right cylinder bank (even numbered) and must not be interchanged.

1. To correctly select the proper size piston, a cylinder bore gauge (2), capable of reading in 0.003
mm (0.0001 in.) INCREMENTS is required. If a
bore gauge is not available, do not use an inside micrometer.
2. Measure the inside diameter of the cylinder bore at a point 38.0 mm (1.5 inches) below top of
bore (4). Start perpendicular (across or at 90
degrees) to the axis of the crankshaft at point A (1) and then take an additional bore reading 90
degrees to that at point B (1).
3. The coated pistons will be serviced with the piston pin and connecting rod pre-assembled. The
piston-rod assembly is specific for the left cylinder
bank (odd numbered) and the right cylinder bank (even numbered) and must not be interchanged.

NOTE: Valve seats that are worn or burned can be reworked, provided that correct angle and seat
width are maintained. Otherwise the
cylinder head must be replaced.
NOTE: When refacing valves and valve seats, it is important that the correct size valve guide pilot
be used for reseating stones. A true and
complete surface must be obtained.
1. Using a suitable dial indicator, measure the center of the valve seat. Total run out must not
exceed 0.051 mm (0.002 in). 2. Apply a small amount of Prussian Blue to the valve seat. Insert the
valve into the cylinder head. Rotate valve while applying light pressure on the
valve seat. Remove the valve and examine the valve face. If the blue is transferred below the top
edge of the valve face, lower the valve seat using a 15 degree stone. If the blue is transferred to
the bottom edge of the valve face, raise the valve seat using a 65 degree stone.
3. When the seat is properly positioned the width of the intake seat must be 1.18 - 1.62 mm
(0.0464 - 0.0637 in.) and the exhaust seat must be 1.48 1.92 mm (0.058 - 0.075 in.).
4. Check the valve spring installed height after refacing the valve and seat. The installed height for
both intake and exhaust valve springs must not
exceed 46.0 mm (1.81 in.).
5. The valve seat must maintain a seat angle of 44 1/2° - 45°. 6. The valve face must maintain a
face angle of 45° - 45 1/2°.

VISUAL DIAGNOSIS
When diagnosing the accessory drive belt, small cracks that run across the ribbed surface of the
belt from rib to rib, are considered normal. These are not a reason to replace the belt. However,
cracks running along a rib (not across) are not normal. Any belt with cracks running along a rib
must be replaced. Also replace the belt if it has excessive wear, frayed cords or severe glazing.
Refer toACCESSORY DRIVE BELT DIAGNOSIS CHART for further belt diagnosis.
NOISE DIAGNOSIS
Noises generated by the accessory drive belt are most noticeable at idle. Before replacing a belt to
resolve a noise condition, inspect all of the accessory drive pulleys for alignment, glazing, or
excessive end play.

DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems include:
engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and refrigerant. The only
exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle maintenance schedules, e.g. engine
coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has occurred
and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of
system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the original approved system
fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSE(R) approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with Mopar
Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all
deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the specified coolant and
distilled water.

Engine Oil: Description and Operation
ENGINE OIL
WARNING: New or used engine oil can be irritating to the skin. Avoid prolonged or repeated skin
contact with engine oil. Contaminants in
used engine oil, caused by internal combustion, can be hazardous to your health. Thoroughly wash
exposed skin with soap and water. Do not wash skin with gasoline, diesel fuel, thinner, or solvents,
health problems can result. Do not pollute, dispose of used engine oil properly. Contact your dealer
or government agency for location of collection center in your area.
When service is required, Chrysler Corporation recommends that only Mopar(R) brand parts,
lubricants and chemicals be used. Mopar(R) provides the best engineered products for servicing
Chrysler Corporation vehicles.
Only lubricants bearing designations defined by the following organization should be used.
- Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)
- American Petroleum Institute (API)
- National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI)
- Association des Constructeurs Europeens d' Automobiles (European Automobile Manufacturers
Association) (ACEA)
API SERVICE GRADE CERTIFIED
Use an engine oil that is API Certified. MOPAR(R) provides engine oils, that meet or exceed this
requirement.
SAE VISCOSITY
An SAE viscosity grade is used to specify the viscosity of engine oil. Use only engine oils with
multiple viscosities. These are specified with a dual SAE viscosity grade which indicates the
cold-to-hot temperature viscosity range. Select an engine oil that is best suited to your particular
temperature range and variation. Refer to the engine oil filler cap for the recommend engine oil
viscosity for each vehicle.
ACEA Categories
For countries that use the ACEA European Oil Categories for Service Fill Oils, use engine oils that
meet the requirements of ACEA A1/B1, A2/B2, or A3/B3.
ENERGY CONSERVING OIL
An Energy Conserving type oil is recommended for gasoline engines. The designation of ENERGY
CONSERVING is located on the label of an engine oil container.
CONTAINER IDENTIFICATION
Standard engine oil identification notations have been adopted to aid in the proper selection of
engine oil. The identifying notations are located on the front label of engine oil plastic bottles and
the top of engine oil cans.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Engine Lubrication > Engine Oil > Component
Information > Specifications > Page 2346
This symbol means that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API).
DaimlerChrysler only recommend API Certified engine oils. Use Mopar(R) engine oil or equivalent.
SYNTHETIC ENGINE OILS
There are a number of engine oils being promoted as either synthetic or semi-synthetic. If you
chose to use such a product, use only those oils that meet the American Petroleum Institute (API)
and SAE viscosity standard. Follow the service schedule that describes your driving type.
ENGINE OIL ADDITIVES/SUPPLEMENTS
The manufacturer does not recommend the addition of any engine oil additives/supplements to the
specified engine oil. Engine oil additives/supplements should not be used to enhance engine oil
performance. Engine oil additives/supplements should not be used to extend engine oil change
intervals. No additive is known to be safe for engine durability and can degrade emission
components. Additives can contain undesirable materials that harm the long term durability of
engines by:
- Doubling the level of phosphorus in the engine oil. The ILSAC (International Lubricant Standard
Approval Committee) GF-2 and GF-3 standards require that engine oil contain no more than 0.10%
phosphorus to protect the vehicles emissions performance. Addition of engine oil
additives/supplements can poison, from the added sulfur and phosphorus, catalysts and hinder
efforts to guarantee emissions performance to 80,000 miles.
- Altering the viscosity characteristics of the engine oil so that it no longer meets the requirements
of the specified viscosity grade.
- Creating potential for an undesirable additive compatibility interaction in the engine crankcase.
Generally it is not desirable to mix additive packages from different suppliers in the crankcase;
there have been reports of low temperature engine failures caused by additive package
incompatibility with such mixtures.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Low Oil Pressure Indicator Description
DESCRIPTION
A low oil pressure indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is
located near the upper edge of the instrument cluster, between the tachometer and the
speedometer.
The low oil pressure indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and
Display Symbol icon for Engine Oil in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark
outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated.
A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the
icon to appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from
behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The low oil pressure indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Low Oil Pressure Indicator Operation
OPERATION
The low oil pressure indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the engine oil
pressure reading reflects a condition requiring immediate attention. This indicator is controlled by a
transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic
messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller
Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The low oil pressure indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED is always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the low oil pressure indicator for the following reasons:
- Engine Oil Pressure Low Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic engine oil
pressure message from the PCM indicating the pressure is about 6.9 kPa (1 psi) or lower, the low
oil pressure indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a
message from the PCM indicating that the pressure is above about 6.9 kPa (1 psi), or until the
ignition switch turns to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. The cluster only turns the indicator
on in response to low engine oil pressure if the engine speed is greater than zero.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the low oil pressure indicator turns on,
then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and
the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the engine oil pressure sensor to determine the engine oil pressure.
The PCM then sends the proper messages to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab
Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the low oil pressure indicator or the instrument
cluster circuitry that controls the LED, See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning
Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the engine oil pressure sensor, the PCM, the
CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to low oil pressure indicator
operation. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Low Oil Pressure Indicator Description
DESCRIPTION
A low oil pressure indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is
located near the upper edge of the instrument cluster, between the tachometer and the
speedometer.
The low oil pressure indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and
Display Symbol icon for Engine Oil in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark
outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated.
A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the
icon to appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from
behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The low oil pressure indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Low Oil Pressure Indicator Operation
OPERATION
The low oil pressure indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the engine oil
pressure reading reflects a condition requiring immediate attention. This indicator is controlled by a
transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic
messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller
Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The low oil pressure indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED is always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the low oil pressure indicator for the following reasons:
- Engine Oil Pressure Low Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic engine oil
pressure message from the PCM indicating the pressure is about 6.9 kPa (1 psi) or lower, the low
oil pressure indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a
message from the PCM indicating that the pressure is above about 6.9 kPa (1 psi), or until the
ignition switch turns to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. The cluster only turns the indicator
on in response to low engine oil pressure if the engine speed is greater than zero.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the low oil pressure indicator turns on,
then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and
the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the engine oil pressure sensor to determine the engine oil pressure.
The PCM then sends the proper messages to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab
Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the low oil pressure indicator or the instrument
cluster circuitry that controls the LED, See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning
Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the engine oil pressure sensor, the PCM, the
CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to low oil pressure indicator
operation. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

The oil temperature sensor uses the following two circuits:
- Signal circuit to the PCM
- Ground circuit from the PCM
The oil temperature sensor is a Negative Thermal Coefficient sensor. The resistance of the sensor
changes as oil temperature changes. This results in different output voltages back to the PCM.
The oil temperature sensor is located on the right side of the engine block.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation Variable Valve Timing Assembly Description
DESCRIPTION
The 5.7L Eagle engine is equipped with Variable Cam Timing (VCT). This system advances and/or
retards the camshaft timing to improve engine performance, mid-range torque, idle quality, fuel
economy, and reduce emissions. The VCT assembly is sometimes referred to as a camshaft
phaser.
CAUTION: Never attempt to disassemble the camshaft phaser, severe engine damage could
result.
The VCT assembly consists of the camshaft sprocket and a timing phaser. The VCT phaser
assembly bolts to the camshaft and is serviced as an assembly.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation Variable Valve Timing Assembly Operation
OPERATION
The Variable Cam Timing (VCT) assembly is actuated with engine oil pressure. The oil flow to the
VCT assemblies are controlled by an Oil Control Valve (OCV). The OCV consist of a Pulse Width
Modulated (PWM) solenoid and a spool valve. The PCM actuates the OCV to control oil flow
through the spool valve into the VCT assemblies. The VCT assembly consists of a rotor, stator,
and sprocket. The stator is connected to the timing chain through the sprocket. The rotor is
connected to the camshaft. Oil flow in to the VCT assembly rotates the rotor with respect to the
stator, thus rotating the exhaust camshaft with respect to the timing chain and intake camshaft. An
infinitely variable cam timing position can be achieved within the limits of the hardware. The CMP
monitors the position of the camshaft with respect to the crankshaft and provides feedback to the
PCM.
CAUTION: Never attempt to disassemble the camshaft phaser, severe engine damage could
result.

Water Pump: Procedures
Water Pump - Coolant Air Evacuation
COOLANT AIR EVACUATION
Evacuating or purging air from the cooling system involves the use of a pressurized air operated
vacuum generator. The vacuum created allows for a quick and complete coolant refilling while
removing any air locks present in the system components.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the cooling system, ensure that no component would be susceptible to
damage when a vacuum is drawn on the
system.
WARNING: ANTIFREEZE IS AN ETHYLENE GLYCOL BASE COOLANT AND IS HARMFUL IF
SWALLOWED OR INHALED. IF
SWALLOWED, DRINK TWO GLASSES OF WATER AND INDUCE VOMITING. IF INHALED,
MOVE TO FRESH AIR AREA. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT STORE IN
OPEN OR UNMARKED CONTAINERS. WASH SKIN AND CLOTHING THOROUGHLY AFTER
COMING IN CONTACT WITH ETHYLENE GLYCOL. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
DISPOSE OF GLYCOL BASED COOLANT PROPERLY. CONTACT YOUR DEALER OR
GOVERNMENT AGENCY FOR LOCATION OF COLLECTION CENTER IN YOUR AREA. DO
NOT OPEN A COOLING SYSTEM WHEN THE ENGINE IS AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE OR
HOT UNDER PRESSURE; PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT. AVOID RADIATOR COOLING
FAN WHEN ENGINE COMPARTMENT RELATED SERVICE IS PERFORMED; PERSONAL
INJURY CAN RESULT.
WARNING: WEAR APPROPRIATE EYE AND HAND PROTECTION WHEN PERFORMING THIS
PROCEDURE.
NOTE: The service area where this procedure is performed should have a minimum shop air
requirement of 80 PSI (5.5 bar) and should be
equipped with an air dryer system.
NOTE: For best results, the radiator should be empty. The vehicle's heater control should be set to
the heat position (ignition may need to be
turned to the on position but do not start the motor).
1. Refer to the Chrysler Penta star Service Equipment (Chrysler PSE) Coolant Refiller #85-15-0650
or equivalent tool's operating manual for specific
assembly steps.
2. Choose an appropriate adapter cone that will fit the vehicle's radiator filler neck or reservoir tank.
3. Attach the adapter cone (2) to the vacuum gauge (1).
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Water Pump > Component Information > Service and
Repair > Procedures > Page 2558
4. Make sure the vacuum generator/venturi ball valve (3) is closed and attach an airline hose (2)
(minimum shop air requirement of 80 PSI/5.5 bar) to
the vacuum generator/venturi (1).
5. Position the adaptor cone/vacuum gauge assembly into the radiator filler neck or reservoir tank.
Ensure that the adapter cone is sealed properly.
6. Connect the vacuum generator/venturi (2) to the positioned adaptor cone/vacuum gauge
assembly (1). 7. Open the vacuum generator/venturi ball valve.
NOTE: Do not bump or move the assembly as it may result in loss of vacuum. Some radiator
overflow hoses may need to be clamped off to
obtain vacuum.
8. Let the system run until the vacuum gauge shows a good vacuum through the cooling system.
Refer to the tool's operating manual for appropriate
pressure readings.
NOTE: If a strong vacuum is being created in the system, it is normal to see the radiator hoses to
collapse.
9. Close the vacuum generator/venturi ball valve.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Water Pump > Component Information > Service and
Repair > Procedures > Page 2559
10. Disconnect the vacuum generator/venturi and airline from the adaptor cone/vacuum gauge
assembly. 11. Wait approximately 20 seconds, if the pressure readings do not move, the system
has no leaks. If the pressure readings move, a leak could be
present in the system and the cooling system should be checked for leaks and the procedure
should be repeated.
12. Place the tool's suction hose into the coolant's container.
NOTE: Ensure there is a sufficient amount of coolant, mixed to the required strength/protection
level available for use. For best results and to
assist the refilling procedure, place the coolant container at the same height as the radiator filler
neck. Always draw more coolant than required. If the coolant level is too low, it will pull air into the
cooling system which could result in air locks in the system.
13. Connect the tool's suction hose (1) to the adaptor cone/vacuum gauge assembly (2).
14. Open the suction hose's ball valve to begin refilling the cooling system. 15. When the vacuum
gauge reads zero, the system is filled.
NOTE: On some remote pressurized tanks, it is recommended to stop filling when the proper level
is reached.
16. Close the suction hose's ball valve and remove the suction hose from the adaptor cone/vacuum
gauge assembly. 17. Remove the adaptor cone/vacuum gauge assembly from the radiator filler
neck or reservoir tank. 18. With heater control unit in the HEAT position, operate engine with
container cap in place. 19. After engine has reached normal operating temperature, shut engine off
and allow it to cool. When engine is cooling down, coolant will be drawn
into the radiator from the pressure container.
20. Add coolant to the recovery bottle/container as necessary. Only add coolant to the container
when the engine is cold. Coolant level in a warm
engine will be higher due to thermal expansion. Add necessary coolant to raise container level to
the COLD MINIMUM mark after each cool down period.
21. Once the appropriate coolant level is achieved, attach the radiator cap or reservoir tank cap.

Auxiliary Water Pump: Description and Operation Auxiliary HVAC Heater Pump - Description
DESCRIPTION
An auxiliary HVAC heater pump (1) is used to provide coolant flow through the front and rear
heater cores on the Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) models when operating the vehicle during both
gasoline and electric motor operating modes.
The auxiliary HVAC heater pump is mounted to the right side frame rail (4) in the engine
compartment by a bracket (5) and contains an electric motor that drives a vane-type pump using a
magnetic clutch. The pump housing has and electrical connector (6) for the motor and two
connections for the heater hoses (2). The heater hoses are secured to the front of the pump
housing by spring-type hose clamps (3).
The auxiliary HVAC heater pump is of the identical design as the electric coolant pump for the
Traction Power Inverter Module (TPIM), but is NOT interchangeable with the TPIM coolant pump
due to different pump software.

Auxiliary Water Pump: Description and Operation Auxiliary HVAC Heater Pump - Operation
OPERATION
The auxiliary HVAC heater pump for the Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) provides engine coolant flow
through the front and rear heater cores during gasoline and electric motor operating modes.
The auxiliary HVAC heater pump is controlled by the A/C-heater control and has a variable flow
rate of approximately 8 - 19 liters (2 - 5 gallons) per minute.
When the gasoline engine is operating below 1000 rpm, the auxiliary HVAC heater pump boosts
engine coolant flow through the heater cores at the rate of 8 liters (2 gallons) per minute. When in
electric operating mode, the A/C-heater control determines coolant flow rate based on infrared
sensor data and customer temperature settings.
The auxiliary HVAC heater pump is connected to the Powertrain control Module (PCM) via a Local
Interconnect Network (LIN) bus. The A/C-heater control sends a flow rate command message to
the Front Control Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) B bus. The FCM then
converts and broadcasts the message over the CAN C bus to the PCM. The PCM converts the
gallons per minute command from the A/C-heater control to a pump target RPM. If the A/C-heater
control sends a non-zero flow rate command to the PCM and the PCM responds with a zero flow
rate actual message, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.
The auxiliary HVAC heater pump can be actuated and diagnosed using a scan tool See:
Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic
Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures.
NOTE: The auxiliary HVAC heater pump is of the identical design as the electric coolant pump for
the Traction Power Inverter Module
(TPIM), but is NOT interchangeable with the TPIM coolant pump due to different pump software.
The auxiliary HVAC heater pump cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if
inoperative or damaged.

DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems include:
engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and refrigerant. The only
exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle maintenance schedules, e.g. engine
coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has occurred
and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of
system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the original approved system
fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSE(R) approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with Mopar
Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all
deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the specified coolant and
distilled water.

Coolant: Description and Operation Description - HOAT Coolant
HOAT COOLANT
WARNING: Antifreeze is an ethylene-glycol base coolant and is harmful if swallowed or inhaled. If
swallowed, drink two glasses of water and
induce vomiting. If inhaled, move to fresh air area. Seek medical attention immediately. Do not
store in open or unmarked containers. Wash skin and clothing thoroughly after coming in contact
with ethylene-glycol. Keep out of reach of children. Dispose of glycol based coolant properly,
contact your dealer or government agency for location of collection center in your area. Do not
open a cooling system when the engine is at operating temperature or hot under pressure,
personal injury can result. Avoid radiator cooling fan when engine compartment related service is
performed, personal injury can result.
CAUTION: Use of Propylene-Glycol based coolants is not recommended, as they provide less
freeze protection and less corrosion protection.
The cooling system is designed around the coolant. The coolant must accept heat from engine
metal, in the cylinder head area near the exhaust valves and engine block. Then coolant carries the
heat to the radiator where the tube/fin radiator can transfer the heat to the air.
The use of aluminum cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, and water pumps require special corrosion
protection. Mopar(R) Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769), or the
equivalent ethylene-glycol base coolant with organic corrosion inhibitors (called HOAT, for Hybrid
Organic Additive Technology) is recommended. This coolant offers the best engine cooling without
corrosion when mixed with 50% ethylene-glycol and 50% distilled water to obtain a freeze point of
-37°C (-35°F). If it loses color or becomes contaminated, drain, flush, and replace with fresh
properly mixed coolant solution.
CAUTION: Mopar(R) Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769) may not be
mixed with any other type of antifreeze.
Mixing of coolants other than specified (non-HOAT or other HOAT) may result in engine damage
that may not be covered under the new vehicle warranty, and decreased corrosion protection.
COOLANT PERFORMANCE
The required ethylene-glycol and water mixture depends upon climate and vehicle operating
conditions. The coolant performance of various mixtures follows:
Pure Water- Water can absorb more heat than a mixture of water and ethylene-glycol. This is for
purpose of heat transfer only. Water also freezes at a higher temperature and allows corrosion.
100 percent Ethylene-Glycol - The corrosion inhibiting additives in ethylene-glycol need the
presence of water to dissolve. Without water, additives form deposits in system. These act as
insulation causing temperature to rise to as high as 149°C (300°F). This temperature is hot enough
to melt plastic. The increased temperature can result in severe engine damage. In addition, 100
percent ethylene-glycol freezes at -22°C (-8°F).
50/50 Ethylene-Glycol and Water - Is the recommended mixture, it provides protection against
freezing to -37°C (-34°F). The antifreeze concentration must always be a minimum of 44 percent,
year-round in all climates. If percentage is lower, engine parts may be eroded by cavitation.
Maximum protection against freezing is provided with a 68 percent antifreeze concentration, which
prevents freezing down to -67.7°C (-90°F). A higher percentage will freeze at a warmer
temperature. Also, a higher percentage of antifreeze can cause the engine to overheat because
specific heat of antifreeze is lower than that of water.
CAUTION: Richer antifreeze mixtures cannot be measured with normal field equipment and can
cause problems associated with 100 percent
ethylene-glycol.

Coolant: Description and Operation Operation
COOLANT
Coolant flows through the engine block and cylinder head, absorbing heat from the engine, then
flows to the radiator where the cooling fins in the radiator transfer the heat from the coolant to the
atmosphere. During cold weather the ethylene-glycol or propylene-glycol coolant prevents water
present in the cooling system from freezing within temperatures indicated by the mixture ratio of
coolant to water.

Coolant: Testing and Inspection
COOLANT CONCENTRATION TESTING
Check coolant concentration when any additional coolant is added to the system, or after a coolant
drain, flush and refill. Use of a hydrometer or Refractometer Tool 8286, refractometer can be used
to test coolant concentration.
A hydrometer tests 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 the higher the freeze protection (up to a maximum of 60% by volume glycol).
A Refractometer Tool 8286 tests 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 manufacturers 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 are not recommended.
CAUTION: Do not mix types of coolant - corrosion protection will be severely reduced.

Coolant Reservoir: Description and Operation Operation
COOLANT RECOVERY CONTAINER
The coolant recovery container works in conjunction with the radiator pressure cap. It utilizes
thermal expansion and contraction of the coolant to keep the coolant free of trapped air. It provides
a volume for expansion and contraction of the coolant. It also provides a convenient and safe
method for checking the coolant level and adjusting the level at atmospheric pressure. This is done
without removing the radiator pressure cap. The system also provides some reserve coolant to the
radiator to cover minor leaks and evaporation or boiling losses.
As the engine cools, a vacuum is formed in the cooling system of both the radiator and engine.
Coolant is then drawn from the coolant tank and returned to a proper level in the radiator.

HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
Chrysler 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 Chrysler
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. All switches,
components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and the key
removed from the ignition. 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.

IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as follows:
- In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the instrument panel area are C200 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.
- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.
- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.
- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
In addition, S001-S099 numbers are located in the engine compartment.
- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.

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.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
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.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Radiator Cooling Fan > Radiator Cooling
Fan Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2631
- 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.
- 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. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
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
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory 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.

Fan Clutch: Description and Operation Viscous Radiator Fan Clutch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The thermal viscous fan drive (3) is a silicone fluid filled coupling used to connect the fan blades to
the water pump shaft (4). The coupling allows the fan to be driven in a normal manner. This is done
at low engine speeds while limiting the top speed of the fan to a predetermined maximum level at
higher engine speeds.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Radiator Cooling Fan > Fan Clutch >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Viscous Radiator Fan Clutch - Description > Page 2648
Fan Clutch: Description and Operation Viscous Radiator Fan Clutch - Operation
OPERATION
A thermostatic bimetallic spring coil (2) is located on the front face of the viscous fan drive unit (1).
This spring coil reacts to the temperature of the radiator discharge air. It engages the viscous fan
drive for higher fan speed if the air temperature from the radiator rises above a certain point. Until
additional engine cooling is necessary, the fan will remain at a reduced rpm regardless of engine
speed.
Only when sufficient heat is present, will the viscous fan drive engage. This is when the air flowing
through the radiator core causes a reaction to the bimetallic coil. It then increases fan speed to
provide the necessary additional engine cooling.
Once the engine has cooled, the radiator discharge temperature will drop. The bimetallic coil again
reacts and the fan speed is reduced to the previous disengaged speed.

Fan Clutch: Testing and Inspection
RADIATOR VISCOUS FAN
NOISE
NOTE: It is normal for fan noise to be louder (roaring) when:
- The underhood temperature is above the engagement point for the viscous drive coupling. This
may occur when the ambient (outside air temperature) is very high.
- Engine loads and temperatures are high such as when towing a trailer.
- Cool silicone fluid within the fan drive unit is being redistributed back to its normal disengaged
(warm) position. This can occur during the first 15 seconds to one minute after engine start-up on a
cold engine.
LEAKS
The viscous fan drive operation is not affected by small oil stains near the drive bearing. If leakage
appears excessive, replace the fan drive unit.
VISCOUS DRIVE
If the fan assembly free-wheels without drag (the fan blades will revolve more than five turns when
spun by hand), replace the fan drive. This spin test must be performed when the engine is cool.
For the following test, the cooling system must be in good condition. It also will ensure against
excessively high coolant temperature.
WARNING: Be sure that there is adequate fan blade clearance before drilling.
1. Drill a 3.175 mm (1/8-in) diameter hole in the top center of the fan shroud. 2. Obtain a dial
thermometer with an 203.8 mm (8 in.) stem. It should have a range of -18°-to-105°C (0°-to-220° F).
Insert the thermometer through
the hole in the shroud. Make sure that there is adequate clearance from the fan blades.
3. Connect a tachometer and an engine ignition timing light. The timing light is to be used as a
strobe light. This step cannot be used on the diesel
engine.
4. Block the air flow through the radiator. Secure a sheet of plastic in front of the radiator. Use tape
at the top to secure the plastic and be sure that
the air flow is blocked.
5. Be sure that the air conditioner (if equipped) and blow fan is turned off.
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 fan. Do not wear loose clothing.
6. Start the engine and operate at 2400 rpm. Within ten minutes the air temperature (indicated on
the dial thermometer) should be up to 88° C (190°
F). Fan drive engagement should start to occur at/between: 3.7L - 90° C - 96°C (194° F - 205° F)
- 4.7L - 93° - 98.8° C (200° - 210° F)
- 5.7L - 96.6 - 102.2 °C (206°F - 216°F)
- Engagement is distinguishable by a definite increase in fan flow noise (roaring). The timing light
also will indicate an increase in the speed of the fan.
7. When viscous drive engagement is verified, remove the plastic sheet. Fan drive disengagement
should start to occur at or between:
- 3.7L - 76°C - 81°C (168° F - 178° F)
- 4.7L - 67°C - 73°C (153° F - 163° F)
- 5.7L - 56°C - 62°C (133° F - 143° F)
A definite decrease of fan flow noise (roaring) should be noticed. If not, replace the defective
viscous fan drive unit.
CAUTION: If the viscous fan drive is replaced because of mechanical damage, the cooling fan
blades should also be inspected. Inspect for
fatigue cracks, loose blades, or loose rivets that could have resulted from excessive vibration.
Replace fan blade assembly if any of these conditions are found. Also inspect water pump bearing
and shaft assembly for any related damage due to a viscous fan drive malfunction.

OPERATION
Engine coolant is circulated through heater hoses and tubes to the rear 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 the air directed through the heater core picks up the heat from the fins. The
rear blend air door allows control of the rear heater output air temperature by controlling the
amount of air flowing through or around the rear heater core. The rear blower motor speed controls
the volume of air flowing through the rear heater-A/C housing.
The rear heater core cannot be repaired and must be replaced if inoperative, leaking or damaged.

Temperature Gauge: Description and Operation Temperature Gauge - Description
DESCRIPTION
An engine coolant temperature gauge is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This gauge
is part of the minor gauge set with the fuel gauge located on the left side of the instrument cluster,
just left of the speedometer. The gauge consists of a movable gauge needle or pointer controlled
by the instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 90 degree gauge scale on the cluster overlay that
reads bottom-to-top from C (or Cold) to H (or Hot). An International Control and Display Symbol
icon for Engine Coolant Temperature is located on the cluster overlay, directly below the bottom
end of the scale.
The engine coolant temperature gauge graphics are black against a white field except for a single
red graduation at the high end of the gauge scale, making them clearly visible within the instrument
cluster in daylight. When illuminated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled cluster
general illumination lighting with the exterior lamps turned ON, the white gauge dial face appears
blue-green with the black graphics silhouetted against the illuminated background and the red
graphics and the red gauge needle still appear red. Gauge illumination is provided by an integral
electro-luminescent lamp that is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
The engine coolant temperature gauge is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Temperature Gauge: Description and Operation Temperature Gauge - Operation
OPERATION
The engine coolant temperature gauge gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the engine
coolant temperature. This gauge is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon
cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The engine coolant temperature gauge is an air core magnetic unit that receives battery current on
the instrument cluster electronic circuit board through the fused ignition switch output (run-start)
circuit whenever the ignition switch is in the ON or START positions. The cluster is programmed to
move the gauge needle back to the low end of the scale after the ignition switch is turned to the off
position. The instrument cluster circuitry controls the gauge needle position and provides the
following features:
- Engine Temperature Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic engine temperature
message from the PCM indicating the temperature is between the low end of normal [about 54 °C
(130 °F)] and the high end of normal [about 122 °C (252 °F)], the gauge needle moves to the actual
relative temperature position on the gauge scale.
- Engine Temperature Low Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic engine
temperature message from the PCM indicating the temperature is below the low end of normal
[about 54 °C (130 °F)], the gauge needle is held at the C increment at the low end of the gauge
scale. The gauge needle remains at the low end of the gauge scale until the cluster receives a
message from the PCM indicating that the temperature is above about 54 °C (130 °F), or until the
ignition switch turns to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Engine Temperature High Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic engine
temperature message from the PCM indicating the temperature is above about 122 °C (252 °F),
the gauge needle moves to the red zone at the high end of the gauge scale, the engine
temperature indicator illuminates and a single chime tone is sounded. The gauge needle remains in
the red zone and the engine temperature indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a
message from the PCM indicating that the temperature is below about 122 °C (252 °F), or until the
ignition switch turns to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. The chime tone feature only
repeats during the same ignition cycle if the engine temperature indicator is cycled off then on
again by the appropriate messages from the PCM.
- Communication Error - If the cluster fails to receive an engine temperature message, it holds the
gauge needle at the last indication for about five seconds or until the ignition switch turns to the
OFF position, whichever occurs first. After five seconds, the cluster moves the gauge needle to the
low end of the gauge scale.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the engine coolant temperature
gauge needle is swept to several calibration points on the gauge scale in a prescribed sequence in
order to confirm the functionality of the gauge and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the engine coolant temperature sensor to determine the engine
operating temperature. The PCM then sends the proper messages to the instrument cluster, also
known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the engine coolant
temperature gauge or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the gauge, See: Instrument
Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection. If the
instrument cluster turns on the engine temperature indicator due to a high engine temperature
gauge reading, it may indicate that the engine or the engine cooling system requires service.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the engine coolant temperature sensor, the
PCM, the CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to engine coolant
temperature gauge operation. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Temperature Warning Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Engine Temperature Lamp Description
DESCRIPTION
An engine temperature indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The engine
temperature indicator is located near the upper edge of the instrument cluster, between the minor
gauge set and the speedometer.
The engine temperature indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and
Display Symbol icon for Engine Coolant Temperature in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster
overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it
is not illuminated. A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The engine temperature indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Temperature Warning Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Engine Temperature Lamp Operation
OPERATION
The engine temperature indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the engine
temperature gauge reading reflects a condition requiring immediate attention. This indicator is
controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming
and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over
the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The engine temperature indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the
instrument cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the LED is always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START.
The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor.
The instrument cluster turns on the engine temperature indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the on position the engine temperature indicator
illuminates for about two seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the PCM.
- Engine Temperature High Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic engine
temperature message from the PCM indicating the temperature is above about 122 °C (252 °F),
the engine temperature indicator illuminates and a single chime tone is sounded. The indicator
remains illuminated until the cluster receives a message from the PCM indicating that the
temperature is below about 119 °C (246 °F), or until the ignition switch is turned to the off position,
whichever occurs first. The chime tone feature only repeats during the same ignition cycle if the
engine temperature indicator is cycled off, then on again by the appropriate messages from the
PCM.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the engine temperature indicator will
be turned on, then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of
the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the engine coolant temperature sensor to determine the engine
operating temperature. The PCM then sends the proper messages to the instrument cluster, also
known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the engine temperature
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, See: Instrument Panel, Gauges
and Warning Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection. If the instrument cluster
turns ON the engine temperature indicator due to a high engine temperature gauge reading, it may
indicate that the engine or the engine cooling system requires service.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the engine coolant temperature sensor, the
PCM, the CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to engine temperature
indicator operation. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

RADIATOR COOLANT FLOW
Use the following procedure to determine if the coolant is flowing through the cooling system.
1. Idle the engine until the operating temperature is reached. If the upper radiator hose is warm to
the touch, the thermostat is opening and the coolant
is flowing to the radiator.
WARNING: Hot, pressurized coolant can cause injury by scalding. Using a rag to cover the radiator
pressure cap, open the radiator cap slowly
to first stop. Allow any built-up pressure to vent to the coolant recovery container. After the
pressure build-up has been released, remove the cap from the filler neck.
2. Drain a small amount of coolant from the radiator until the ends of radiator tubes are visible
through the filler neck. Idle the engine at normal
operating temperature. If the coolant is flowing past exposed tubes, the coolant is circulating.

Radiator Cap: Description and Operation Radiator Cap - Description
RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP
All cooling systems are equipped with a pressure cap on the radiator. This cap releases pressure
at some point within a range of 96.5 - 124 kPa (14 - 18 psi). The pressure relief point (in pounds) is
engraved on top of the cap (3).
The cooling system will operate at pressures slightly above atmospheric pressure. This results in a
higher coolant boiling point allowing increased radiator cooling capacity. The cap contains a
spring-loaded pressure relief valve (4). This valve opens when system pressure reaches the
release range of 96.5 - 124 kPa (14 - 18 psi).
A rubber gasket (2) seals the radiator filler neck. This is done to maintain vacuum during coolant
cool-down and to prevent leakage when system is under pressure.

Radiator Cap: Description and Operation Radiator Cap - Operation
RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP
A vent valve in the center of the cap will remain shut as long as the cooling system is pressurized.
As the coolant cools, it contracts and creates a vacuum in cooling system. This causes the vacuum
valve to open and the coolant in reserve/overflow tank to be drawn through the connecting hose
into radiator. If the vacuum valve is stuck shut, or the overflow hose is kinked, the radiator hoses
will collapse on cool-down.

RADIATOR CAP-TO-FILLER NECK SEAL
The pressure cap upper gasket (seal) pressure relief can be tested by removing the overflow hose
from the radiator filler neck nipple. Attach the hose of pressure tester tool 7700 (or equivalent) to
nipple. It will be necessary to disconnect the hose from its adapter for the filler neck. Pump air into
the radiator. The pressure cap upper gasket should relieve at 131 kPa (21 psi) and hold pressure
at a minimum of 130 kPa (18.8 psi).
WARNING: The warning words DO NOT OPEN HOT on radiator pressure cap, are a safety
precaution. When hot, pressure builds up in cooling
system. To prevent scalding or injury, radiator cap should not be removed while system is hot
and/or under pressure.
Do not remove the radiator cap at any time except for the following purposes:
1. Check and adjust the antifreeze freeze point. 2. Refill system with new antifreeze. 3. Conducting
service procedures. 4. Checking for vacuum leaks.

RADIATOR CAP
Remove cap (1) from radiator. Be sure that sealing surfaces are clean. Moisten rubber gasket with
water and install cap (1) on pressure tester 7700 (2) or equivalent.
Operate tester pump to bring pressure to 138 kPa (20 psi) on gauge. If pressure cap (1) fails to
hold pressure of at least 131 kPa (19 psi) replace cap. Refer to the following CAUTION.
The pressure cap may test properly while positioned on tool 7700 (or equivalent). It may not hold
pressure or vacuum when installed on radiator. If so, inspect radiator filler neck and cap's top
gasket for damage. Also inspect for dirt or distortion that may prevent cap from sealing properly.
CAUTION: Radiator pressure testing tools are very sensitive to small air leaks, which 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 tool. Turn tool upside down and recheck pressure cap to
confirm that cap needs replacement.

Temperature Gauge: Description and Operation Temperature Gauge - Description
DESCRIPTION
An engine coolant temperature gauge is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This gauge
is part of the minor gauge set with the fuel gauge located on the left side of the instrument cluster,
just left of the speedometer. The gauge consists of a movable gauge needle or pointer controlled
by the instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 90 degree gauge scale on the cluster overlay that
reads bottom-to-top from C (or Cold) to H (or Hot). An International Control and Display Symbol
icon for Engine Coolant Temperature is located on the cluster overlay, directly below the bottom
end of the scale.
The engine coolant temperature gauge graphics are black against a white field except for a single
red graduation at the high end of the gauge scale, making them clearly visible within the instrument
cluster in daylight. When illuminated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled cluster
general illumination lighting with the exterior lamps turned ON, the white gauge dial face appears
blue-green with the black graphics silhouetted against the illuminated background and the red
graphics and the red gauge needle still appear red. Gauge illumination is provided by an integral
electro-luminescent lamp that is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
The engine coolant temperature gauge is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Temperature Gauge > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Temperature Gauge - Description > Page 2756
Temperature Gauge: Description and Operation Temperature Gauge - Operation
OPERATION
The engine coolant temperature gauge gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the engine
coolant temperature. This gauge is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon
cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The engine coolant temperature gauge is an air core magnetic unit that receives battery current on
the instrument cluster electronic circuit board through the fused ignition switch output (run-start)
circuit whenever the ignition switch is in the ON or START positions. The cluster is programmed to
move the gauge needle back to the low end of the scale after the ignition switch is turned to the off
position. The instrument cluster circuitry controls the gauge needle position and provides the
following features:
- Engine Temperature Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic engine temperature
message from the PCM indicating the temperature is between the low end of normal [about 54 °C
(130 °F)] and the high end of normal [about 122 °C (252 °F)], the gauge needle moves to the actual
relative temperature position on the gauge scale.
- Engine Temperature Low Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic engine
temperature message from the PCM indicating the temperature is below the low end of normal
[about 54 °C (130 °F)], the gauge needle is held at the C increment at the low end of the gauge
scale. The gauge needle remains at the low end of the gauge scale until the cluster receives a
message from the PCM indicating that the temperature is above about 54 °C (130 °F), or until the
ignition switch turns to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Engine Temperature High Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic engine
temperature message from the PCM indicating the temperature is above about 122 °C (252 °F),
the gauge needle moves to the red zone at the high end of the gauge scale, the engine
temperature indicator illuminates and a single chime tone is sounded. The gauge needle remains in
the red zone and the engine temperature indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a
message from the PCM indicating that the temperature is below about 122 °C (252 °F), or until the
ignition switch turns to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. The chime tone feature only
repeats during the same ignition cycle if the engine temperature indicator is cycled off then on
again by the appropriate messages from the PCM.
- Communication Error - If the cluster fails to receive an engine temperature message, it holds the
gauge needle at the last indication for about five seconds or until the ignition switch turns to the
OFF position, whichever occurs first. After five seconds, the cluster moves the gauge needle to the
low end of the gauge scale.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the engine coolant temperature
gauge needle is swept to several calibration points on the gauge scale in a prescribed sequence in
order to confirm the functionality of the gauge and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the engine coolant temperature sensor to determine the engine
operating temperature. The PCM then sends the proper messages to the instrument cluster, also
known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the engine coolant
temperature gauge or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the gauge, See: Instrument
Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection. If the
instrument cluster turns on the engine temperature indicator due to a high engine temperature
gauge reading, it may indicate that the engine or the engine cooling system requires service.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the engine coolant temperature sensor, the
PCM, the CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to engine coolant
temperature gauge operation. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Temperature Warning Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Engine Temperature Lamp Description
DESCRIPTION
An engine temperature indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The engine
temperature indicator is located near the upper edge of the instrument cluster, between the minor
gauge set and the speedometer.
The engine temperature indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and
Display Symbol icon for Engine Coolant Temperature in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster
overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it
is not illuminated. A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The engine temperature indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Temperature Warning Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Engine Temperature Lamp Operation
OPERATION
The engine temperature indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the engine
temperature gauge reading reflects a condition requiring immediate attention. This indicator is
controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming
and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over
the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The engine temperature indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the
instrument cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the LED is always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START.
The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor.
The instrument cluster turns on the engine temperature indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the on position the engine temperature indicator
illuminates for about two seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the PCM.
- Engine Temperature High Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic engine
temperature message from the PCM indicating the temperature is above about 122 °C (252 °F),
the engine temperature indicator illuminates and a single chime tone is sounded. The indicator
remains illuminated until the cluster receives a message from the PCM indicating that the
temperature is below about 119 °C (246 °F), or until the ignition switch is turned to the off position,
whichever occurs first. The chime tone feature only repeats during the same ignition cycle if the
engine temperature indicator is cycled off, then on again by the appropriate messages from the
PCM.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the engine temperature indicator will
be turned on, then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of
the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the engine coolant temperature sensor to determine the engine
operating temperature. The PCM then sends the proper messages to the instrument cluster, also
known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the engine temperature
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, See: Instrument Panel, Gauges
and Warning Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection. If the instrument cluster
turns ON the engine temperature indicator due to a high engine temperature gauge reading, it may
indicate that the engine or the engine cooling system requires service.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the engine coolant temperature sensor, the
PCM, the CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to engine temperature
indicator operation. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Water Pump: Procedures
Water Pump - Coolant Air Evacuation
COOLANT AIR EVACUATION
Evacuating or purging air from the cooling system involves the use of a pressurized air operated
vacuum generator. The vacuum created allows for a quick and complete coolant refilling while
removing any air locks present in the system components.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the cooling system, ensure that no component would be susceptible to
damage when a vacuum is drawn on the
system.
WARNING: ANTIFREEZE IS AN ETHYLENE GLYCOL BASE COOLANT AND IS HARMFUL IF
SWALLOWED OR INHALED. IF
SWALLOWED, DRINK TWO GLASSES OF WATER AND INDUCE VOMITING. IF INHALED,
MOVE TO FRESH AIR AREA. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT STORE IN
OPEN OR UNMARKED CONTAINERS. WASH SKIN AND CLOTHING THOROUGHLY AFTER
COMING IN CONTACT WITH ETHYLENE GLYCOL. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
DISPOSE OF GLYCOL BASED COOLANT PROPERLY. CONTACT YOUR DEALER OR
GOVERNMENT AGENCY FOR LOCATION OF COLLECTION CENTER IN YOUR AREA. DO
NOT OPEN A COOLING SYSTEM WHEN THE ENGINE IS AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE OR
HOT UNDER PRESSURE; PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT. AVOID RADIATOR COOLING
FAN WHEN ENGINE COMPARTMENT RELATED SERVICE IS PERFORMED; PERSONAL
INJURY CAN RESULT.
WARNING: WEAR APPROPRIATE EYE AND HAND PROTECTION WHEN PERFORMING THIS
PROCEDURE.
NOTE: The service area where this procedure is performed should have a minimum shop air
requirement of 80 PSI (5.5 bar) and should be
equipped with an air dryer system.
NOTE: For best results, the radiator should be empty. The vehicle's heater control should be set to
the heat position (ignition may need to be
turned to the on position but do not start the motor).
1. Refer to the Chrysler Penta star Service Equipment (Chrysler PSE) Coolant Refiller #85-15-0650
or equivalent tool's operating manual for specific
assembly steps.
2. Choose an appropriate adapter cone that will fit the vehicle's radiator filler neck or reservoir tank.
3. Attach the adapter cone (2) to the vacuum gauge (1).
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Water Pump > Component Information >
Service and Repair > Procedures > Page 2785
4. Make sure the vacuum generator/venturi ball valve (3) is closed and attach an airline hose (2)
(minimum shop air requirement of 80 PSI/5.5 bar) to
the vacuum generator/venturi (1).
5. Position the adaptor cone/vacuum gauge assembly into the radiator filler neck or reservoir tank.
Ensure that the adapter cone is sealed properly.
6. Connect the vacuum generator/venturi (2) to the positioned adaptor cone/vacuum gauge
assembly (1). 7. Open the vacuum generator/venturi ball valve.
NOTE: Do not bump or move the assembly as it may result in loss of vacuum. Some radiator
overflow hoses may need to be clamped off to
obtain vacuum.
8. Let the system run until the vacuum gauge shows a good vacuum through the cooling system.
Refer to the tool's operating manual for appropriate
pressure readings.
NOTE: If a strong vacuum is being created in the system, it is normal to see the radiator hoses to
collapse.
9. Close the vacuum generator/venturi ball valve.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Water Pump > Component Information >
Service and Repair > Procedures > Page 2786
10. Disconnect the vacuum generator/venturi and airline from the adaptor cone/vacuum gauge
assembly. 11. Wait approximately 20 seconds, if the pressure readings do not move, the system
has no leaks. If the pressure readings move, a leak could be
present in the system and the cooling system should be checked for leaks and the procedure
should be repeated.
12. Place the tool's suction hose into the coolant's container.
NOTE: Ensure there is a sufficient amount of coolant, mixed to the required strength/protection
level available for use. For best results and to
assist the refilling procedure, place the coolant container at the same height as the radiator filler
neck. Always draw more coolant than required. If the coolant level is too low, it will pull air into the
cooling system which could result in air locks in the system.
13. Connect the tool's suction hose (1) to the adaptor cone/vacuum gauge assembly (2).
14. Open the suction hose's ball valve to begin refilling the cooling system. 15. When the vacuum
gauge reads zero, the system is filled.
NOTE: On some remote pressurized tanks, it is recommended to stop filling when the proper level
is reached.
16. Close the suction hose's ball valve and remove the suction hose from the adaptor cone/vacuum
gauge assembly. 17. Remove the adaptor cone/vacuum gauge assembly from the radiator filler
neck or reservoir tank. 18. With heater control unit in the HEAT position, operate engine with
container cap in place. 19. After engine has reached normal operating temperature, shut engine off
and allow it to cool. When engine is cooling down, coolant will be drawn
into the radiator from the pressure container.
20. Add coolant to the recovery bottle/container as necessary. Only add coolant to the container
when the engine is cold. Coolant level in a warm
engine will be higher due to thermal expansion. Add necessary coolant to raise container level to
the COLD MINIMUM mark after each cool down period.
21. Once the appropriate coolant level is achieved, attach the radiator cap or reservoir tank cap.

300V
BATTERY PACK
The HEV battery contains 240, 1.2-Volt Nickel-Metal Hydride cells. These cells are in modules of
six cells each, connected in series. You should see:
- 300-310 Volts at 60% State of Charge (SOC) with contactors open.
- 240-390 Volts during normal operation.
- 216 Volts during worst case, cold cranking.
- 60% +/- 8% State of Charge (SOC).
- 358 Volts is upper limit during jump assist.
BATTERY PACK CONTROL MODULE (BPCM)
The BPCM communicates on the Hybrid Local Area Network (LAN) with the HCP, the
Transmission Electro-Hydraulic Control Module (TEHCM), Accessory Power Module (APM) and
Hybrid Gateway Module (HGM). The HGM also sends messages from the BPCM across the
CAN-C network for use by other modules.
Most BPCM communications are with the HCP. As the HCP controls the hybrid drivetrain, the
BPCM make sure that the HV battery pack can supply the necessary HV current so that the vehicle
can be driven. The BPCM notifies the HCP that current from the battery pack should be limited
because of battery temperature or SOC.
The BPCM controls the functions of the HV Battery Pack. The BPCM provides control outputs to:
- Positive and Negative Contactors
- Pre-Charge Contactor
- HV Battery Cooling Fan
- HVIL Source Current
The BPCM monitors the following inputs:
- Hybrid LAN Messages
- HV Module Voltages (20 Inputs)
- Total HV Battery Voltage
- HV Battery Current
- HVIL Circuit Current
- Battery Pack Isolation Resistance (Measured Impedance)
HIGH VOLTAGE INTERLOCK CIRCUIT (HVIL)
The HVIL circuit helps prevent access to high voltage. The BPCM provides an output current
across the HVIL circuit and monitors the return current to verify the integrity of the HVIL circuit.
Both the current drivers and return current can be read with the scan tool. Both readings should be
approximately 12mA.
The BPCM contains the current drivers that provide the source current for the HVIL circuit. The
HVIL circuit routes in series from the BPCM through the HVIL connectors at the HV components.
- The circuit passes through a connector near the bulkhead and another connector under hood to
the HVIL connector over the TPIM cover bolts.
- From this connector, the circuit enters the HCP through the 56-pin connector on the front of the
TPIM.
- From the 56-pin connector, the circuit goes through a connector on the air cleaner duct.
- The circuit then goes to the EVT HV cover HVIL connector.
- From the EVT HVIL connector the circuit goes to the EAC connector.
- From the EAC connector the circuit routes back to the BPCM through the under hood connector
and the connector near the bulkhead.
The HVIL circuit routes through the HCP in the TPIM. The HCP also monitors the HVIL current with
solid-state circuitry.
The BPCM can detect a, open circuit, short to ground and short to power failures on the HVIL
circuit. A distinct DTC sets for each type of failure and is reported to the HCP. This illuminates the
HEV service lamp and disables the HV system. This results in a no-start condition and disables the
vehicle if the vehicle is operating at the time.
If an HVIL circuit fault indicates, the HVIL circuit is diagnosed by measuring the resistance across
the segments of the circuit. By measuring segments, the fault is narrowed down to a specific
section of the circuit.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Hybrid Drive Systems > Battery System, Hybrid Drive > Battery, Hybrid Drive > Component
Information > Description and Operation > High Voltage Battery - Description > Page 2852
CONTACTORS
The 12-Volt system, connects and disconnects the HV battery from the remainder of the HV
system through heavy-duty relays called contactors. There is a positive and negative contactor
connected to the positive and negative side of the battery.
These contactors are normally open and must have reliable 12-Volt power to keep them closed. If
the 12-Volt supply to the HV battery is intermittent, this may cause the contactors to open
momentarily and then close. This can cause an arc across the contactor surfaces that can weld
closed the contactor. If this happens, the 12-Volt system cannot control the HV system and the HV
system remains energized. Contactor failures set a DTC and illuminates the HEV Service Lamp.
PRE-CHARGE COMPONENTS
Pre-charge components control voltage and current applied to the HV system. The initial
application of current or in-rush of current, could damage the HV system if not controlled. To
control the current application, a large resister is used when the HV system is initially powered up.
The pre-charge components consist of the pre-charge resister, a pre-charge contactor and the
required wiring to connect the components. The negative contactor is used during the pre-charge
routine.
To perform the pre-charge routine, the BPCM commands the pre-charge contactor and the
negative contactor to close. The pre-charge resistor is in series on the circuit with the pre-charge
contactor so this controls the power applied to the HV system.
After the pre-charge and negative contactors close and apply partial voltage to the HV system, the
BPCM commands the positive contactor to close. This creates a circuit with very little resistance
compared to the pre-charge circuit. After the positive contactor has closed, the BPCM opens the
pre-charge contactor. The HV system is now fully enabled and ready for operation.
HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY COOLING FAN
As the HV system charges and discharges the HV battery, significant heat is created. To control
the temperature of the battery, a 12-Volt fan located on the passenger side of the battery pack,
pulls air across the battery components. The battery modules have spaces between them to allow
airflow. Airflow also cools the contactors, BPCM and pre-charge resister on the driver side of the
battery case.
The cooling air passes around the carpeted beauty cover over the battery case and then enters the
battery through an intake grate on the passenger side of the case. All airflow from the battery case
is blown out of the case through an exhaust vent and exits under the vehicle.
The intake grate for the cooling air is in a protected position under the battery cover. This area
must be kept clear so that air can enter the battery with no restriction.
The fan speed can be commanded though the scan tool under the BPCM miscellaneous function
menu. This is an easy way to confirm operation of the fan.
The BPCM controls the fan under direction from the HCP. The BPCM modulates the fan speed in
response to battery temperature. The BPCM activates the fan:
- Under 25°C (77°F), the cooling fan is not needed.
- 25°C (77°F) to 50°C (122°F), the fan runs up to the maximum RPM allowed by the HCP.
- Over 50°C (122°F), the fan runs at maximum RPM.
- Over 60°C (140°F), the BPCM requests HV battery shut down from the HCP.
The HCP limits the speed of the fan according to vehicle speed, HVAC blower speeds and engine
RPM, to reduce Noise Vibration and Harshness (NVH) concerns. If the battery temperature
exceeds 50°C (122°F), the fan runs at maximum speed.
The fan does not run if the air inlet temperature is higher than the battery cell temperatures, to
prevent hot air from entering the battery case. This may be the case if the vehicle sits for a long
time in direct sunlight. The BPCM runs the fan intermittently and rechecks the temperature
readings after circulating air.
The fan is Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) on the ground side of the fan motor circuit.
Any time the battery cooling fan is running, the fan removes air from the interior of the vehicle. As a
result, air flows through the HVAC vents if all windows are closed. This is normal and the
recirculation door in the HVAC system is designed with adequate fresh air access under all
conditions.
THERMISTORS
There are six thermistors used to read temperature throughout the battery pack. Four are in the
battery modules, to give a sample of battery cell temperatures. Two sensors read air inlet and air
outlet temperatures. These readings are inputs to the BPCM and are used to determine desired fan
speed.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Hybrid Drive Systems > Battery System, Hybrid Drive > Battery, Hybrid Drive > Component
Information > Description and Operation > High Voltage Battery - Description > Page 2853
The maximum and minimum temperatures from the six thermistors can be read using the scan tool.
You cannot read all six temperatures or determine which sensor is the maximum or minimum
reading. If a sensor fails, a DTC is set. Follow the proper service procedures.
The thermistors must be replaced as an assembly with all of the thermistors and harness to the
BPCM. This harness also includes the connector to the battery current sensor.
VENT TUBES
During heavy charging or discharging conditions, the battery modules may vent hydrogen gas
because of high battery temperature. This off-gassing is captured through two battery vent tubes
connected to vent ports on each module. The two tubes are connected together with a "T" fitting
that is vented to the atmosphere under the vehicle.
This vent tube is separate from the cooling air intake and exhaust vents.
During normal operation there should be no off-gassing of hydrogen.
CURRENT SENSOR
An inductive current sensor measures current flow in the HV battery. This sensor locates between
the positive contactor and the positive post of the HV battery. This sensor is similar to an amp
clamp that can be used with a Digital Voltmeter (DVOM).
The current sensor is an input to the BPCM and is used by the HCP. The BPCM uses the current
sensor to verify pre-charge operation during battery connection. The signal is used by the BPCM to
check for welded contactors when the battery is commanded to disconnect the HV system.
The current sensor data can be read by the scan tool through the BPCM menu. This indicates
current flow between the HV battery and the rest of the HV system. If the battery current is flowing
to the TPIM and the rest of the HV system, the current displays as a positive reading. If the HV
battery is being charged from the HV system, the current displays as a negative reading.
Under typical operating conditions, the current level ranges up to 200 Amps of positive or negative
current flow. If the current exceeds 250 Amps, the HCP reduces HV battery usage.
The HCP uses the current signal in drivetrain management and checks for Loss of Isolation (LOI)
testing.

Battery Condition Monitor: Description and Operation Power Gauge - Description
DESCRIPTION
A power gauge is only found in the instrument clusters of vehicles equipped with the optional
Hybrid Electrical Vehicle (HEV) system. The power gauge is located to the right side of the
instrument cluster, just right of the speedometer. The power gauge consists of a movable gauge
needle or pointer controlled by the instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 200 degree scale on the
gauge dial face that reads left-to-right on the outer circumference of the gauge scale CHARGING,
ECONOMY and POWER. Text that reads HYBRIDappears within a gradated green wedge on the
cluster overlay that extends above the hub of the power gauge needle toward the ECONOMY
range of the scale.
The power gauge graphics are white, blue, green and gray against a white field, making them
clearly visible within the instrument cluster in daylight. When illuminated from behind by the panel
lamps dimmer controlled cluster general illumination lighting with the exterior lamps turned ON, the
white gauge dial face appears blue-green, the blue graphics still appear blue, the green graphics
still appear green, the white text appears in blue-green silhouetted against a darkened blue, green
or gray field and the red gauge needle still appears red. Gauge illumination is provided by an
integral electro-luminescent lamp that is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
The power gauge is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Battery Condition Monitor: Description and Operation Power Gauge - Operation
OPERATION
The power gauge gives an indication to the vehicle operator of how the Hybrid Electric Vehicle
(HEV) is being operated in terms of the electric or gasoline modes and the relative gasoline fuel
economy. This gauge is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster
programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Hybrid Control Processor
(HCP) integral to the Traction Power Inverter Module (TPIM) over the Controller Area Network
(CAN) data bus.
The power gauge is an air core magnetic unit that receives battery current on the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board through the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit whenever the
ignition switch is in the ON or START positions. The cluster is programmed to move the gauge
needle back to the far left end of the scale after the ignition switch turns to the OFF position. The
instrument cluster circuitry controls the gauge needle position and provides the following features:
- Charging Position Message - Each time the cluster receives electronic messages from the HCP
indicating that there is electrical energy being generated by the Regenerative Brake System (RBS)
and that the high voltage battery of the HEV system is being recharged it positions the gauge
needle within theCharging range of the gauge scale. The gauge needle remains within the
Charging range until the cluster receives a message from the HCP to reposition the gauge needle,
or until the ignition switch turns to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
Economy Position Message - Each time the cluster receives electronic messages from the HCP
indicating that the vehicle is being operated in the fuel-saving hybrid electrical mode it positions the
gauge needle to the appropriate relative position within the Hybrid and Economy ranges of the
gauge scale. The closer the needle moves to the center of the Hybrid and Economy ranges
indicates that the vehicle is achieving more fuel economy through reliance on the electrical mode of
operation; while, the further the needle moves to the right of center indicates that the vehicle is
achieving less fuel economy through additional reliance on the gasoline mode of operation. The
gauge needle remains within the Hybrid and Economy ranges until the cluster receives a message
from the HCP to reposition the gauge needle, or until the ignition switch turns to the OFF position,
whichever occurs first.
- Power Position Message - Each time the cluster receives electronic messages from the HCP
indicating that the vehicle is achieving the least fuel economy through reliance entirely on the
gasoline mode of operation it positions the gauge needle to the appropriate relative position within
the Power range of the gauge scale. The further the needle moves toward the right end of the
scale, the greater the power being demanded from the gasoline engine and the lower the fuel
economy being achieved. The gauge needle remains within the Power range until the cluster
receives a message from the HCP to reposition the gauge needle, or until the ignition switch turns
to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster fails to receive a power gauge message, it holds the gauge
needle at the last indication for about three seconds, or until the ignition switch turns to the OFF
position, whichever occurs first. After three seconds, the gauge needle returns to the left end of the
gauge scale.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the power gauge needle is swept to
several calibration points on the gauge scale in a prescribed sequence in order to confirm the
functionality of the gauge and the cluster control circuitry.
The HCP continually monitors the HEV system circuits, sensors and components as well as inputs
from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to determine the appropriate HEV operating mode and
power gauge positioning strategies. The HCP then sends the proper electronic messages to the
instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN) to control the power gauge
needle position. For further diagnosis of the power gauge or the instrument cluster circuitry that
controls the gauge, See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Instrument Cluster /
Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the HEV systems, the HCP, the PCM, the CCN,
the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to power gauge operation. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Ready Lamp - Hybrid Drive: Description and Operation Ready Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) ready indicator is only found in the instrument clusters of vehicles
equipped with the optional hybrid system. This indicator is located in the center of the
speedometer, in the area below and left of the speedometer needle hub.
The HEV ready indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text READY in the opaque layer of
the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A green amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the
cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in green through the
translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is
soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
When the exterior lighting is turned ON the illumination intensity of the ready indicator is dimmable,
which is adjusted along with the cluster general illumination lighting using the panel lamps dimmer
thumbwheel on the headlamp switch.
The HEV ready indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Ready Lamp - Hybrid Drive: Description and Operation Ready Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) ready indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when
the Hybrid Control Processor (HCP) integral to the Traction Power Inverter Module (TPIM) has
determined that the hybrid systems related circuits and components are prepared to move a
vehicle that is stationary. The HEV ready indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument
cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the
cluster from the HCP over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The HEV ready indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED is always be off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the HEV ready indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the ON position the indicator illuminates for
about four seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the HCP.
- HEV Ready Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic HEV ready lamp-on
message from the HCP indicating the HEV systems are in their ready state, the indicator
illuminates. This reading indicates that the ignition switch is in the ON position, the vehicle is
stationary (no vehicle speed input), the transmission gear selector lever is in any position and the
HEV system is ready to move the vehicle. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster
receives a lamp-off message from the HCP, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF
position, whichever occurs first.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the HEV ready indicator turns on
during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the cluster
control circuitry.
The HCP continually monitors the HEV system circuits, sensors and components to decide
whether the system is in good operating condition. The HCP also monitors a vehicle speed input to
determine whether the vehicle is moving or stationary. The HCP then sends the proper lamp-on or
lamp-off message to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). For
further diagnosis of the HEV ready indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the
LED, See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing
and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the HEV system, the HCP, the CCN, the CAN
data bus or the electronic communication related to HEV ready indicator operation. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp - Hybrid Drive: Description and Operation Hybrid Service Indicator Operation
OPERATION
The Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) service indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when
the Hybrid Control Processor (HCP) integral to the Traction Power Inverter Module (TPIM) has
recorded a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for a hybrid systems-related circuit or component
malfunction. The HEV service indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit
board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the
HCP over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The HEV service indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED is always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only

- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the ON position the indicator is illuminated for
about four seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the HCP.
- HEV Service Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic HEV service
lamp-on message from the HCP, the indicator illuminates. For some DTCs, if a problem does not
recur, the HCP sends a lamp-off message automatically. Other DTCs may require that a fault be
repaired and the HCP be reset before a lamp-off message is sent.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the HEV service indicator will be
turned ON during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the
cluster control circuitry.
The HCP continually monitors the HEV system circuits, sensors and components to decide
whether the system is in good operating condition. The HCP then sends the proper lamp-on or
lamp-off message to the instrument cluster also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). For
further diagnosis of the HEV service indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the
LED, See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing
and Inspection. If the CCN turns on the HEV service indicator after the bulb test, it may indicate
that a malfunction has occurred and that the HEV system may require service.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the HEV system, the HCP, the CCN, the CAN
data bus or the electronic communication related to HEV service indicator operation. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp - Hybrid Drive: Description and Operation Regenerative Brake Indicator
- Description
DESCRIPTION
A Regenerative Brake System (RBS) indicator is only found in the instrument clusters of vehicles
equipped with the optional Hybrid Electrical Vehicle (HEV) system. This indicator is located below
the minor gauge set on the left side of the cluster.
The RBS indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol
icon for Failure of Anti-lock Braking System in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay,
but with the letter R replacing the letter A in the ABS acronym. The dark outer layer of the overlay
prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting
Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in
amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the
LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The RBS indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp - Hybrid Drive: Description and Operation Regenerative Brake Indicator
- Operation
OPERATION
The Regenerative Brake System (RBS) indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when
the RBS system, or a circuit or component of the system is ineffective. This indicator is controlled
by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and
electronic messages received by the cluster from the Regenerative Brake Controller (RBC) (also
known as the Controller Antilock Brake/CAB) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The RBS indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED is
always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the RBS indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turns to the on position the RBS indicator is illuminated
for about four seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the RBC.
- RBS Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic RBS indicator
lamp-on message from the RBC, the RBS indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated
until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the RBC, or until the ignition switch turns to the
OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-on or lamp-off messages from the RBC for
five consecutive message cycles, the RBS indicator is illuminated. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a valid message from the RBC, or until the ignition switch is
turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Self Test - Each time the instrument cluster is put through the self test, the RBS indicator turns
on, then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED
and the cluster control circuitry.
- RBS Diagnostic Test - The RBS indicator is blinked on and off by lamp-on and lamp-off messages
from the RBC during the performance of the RBS diagnostic tests.
The RBC continually monitors the RBS circuits and sensors to decide whether the system is in
good operating condition. The RBC then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the
instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). If the RBC sends a lamp-on
message after the bulb test, it indicates that the RBC has detected a system malfunction or that the
RBS system has become ineffective. The RBC stores a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any
malfunction it detects. Each time the RBS indicator fails to light due to an open or short in the
cluster RBS indicator circuit, the cluster sends a message notifying the RBC of the condition, then
the instrument cluster and the RBC will each store a DTC.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the regenerative brake system, the RBC, the
CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to RBS indicator operation. Refer
to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Voltage Inverter: Description and Operation Traction Power Inverter Module - Operation
OPERATION
TRACTION POWER INVERTER MODULE (TPIM)
The Traction Power Inverter Module (TPIM) is descriptive of the function and operation. The TPIM
consists of:
- Traction = engineering term for electrical motor propulsion
- Power = the TPIM provides the electrical power to the e-motors
- Inverter = the TPIM is a DC to AC bi-directional inverter to provide AC current to and from the
e-motors
- Module = the TPIM contains the Hybrid Control Processor (HCP), which controls all drivetrain
components and the Motor Control Processor (MCPa and MCPb), which directly control the motors
ACCESSORY POWER MODULE (APM)
The APM is often considered part of the TPIM assembly. The APM is physically attached to the
bottom of the TPIM and services as one assembly with the TPIM. However, the two components
are entirely separate components.
The APM has three key tasks:
- act as a bi-directional Direct Current (DC)/DC converter (300V/12V).
- charge the 12V battery.
- convert energy to the 12V system (no traditional generator used).
The APM's maximum power output is 2200W and/or 175A.
HYBRID CONTROL PROCESSOR (HCP)
The HCP is the master of all modules involved in driving the HEV down the road. The HCP is
located at the top of the TPIM, directly under the top cover. This cover should never be removed
because the HCP is not serviceable separately from the rest of the TPIM assembly.
The HCP acts as the controller and stores fault codes for the following modules:
- Accessory Power Module (APM)
- Battery Pack Control Module (BPCM)
- Motor Control Processors (MCPa and MCPb)
- Regenerative Braking System (RBS) Module
- Transmission Auxiliary Oil Pump (TAOP) Controller
All of the above modules are subordinates to the HCP and work under control of the HCP. The
HCP takes inputs from all of these modules and processes them together to achieve optimum
efficiency from the Hybrid drivetrain.
The HCP connects, either directly or through network paths, to all of the modules, inputs, outputs
sensors and actuators that affect hybrid propulsion and high voltage in the Durango/Aspen HEV.
The HCP is connected to the Hybrid CAN bus for propulsion components and to the dedicated
powertrain CAN for the communication to the PCM. A dedicated bus allows faster communication
between the two most essential powertrain management modules, the HCP and the PCM.
Either the HCP or the PCM can request illumination of the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). The
HCP requests the MIL if any of the modules that the HCP controls indicate a failure that requires
attention. The PCM requests the MIL if any engine related failures occur. The PCM contains the
driver that activates the MIL.
The ABS stores its own codes, and the HCP stores the same ABS codes.
MOTOR CONTROL PROCESSORS (MCPa and MCPb)
The MCPs function as slaves to the HCP. Under direction of the HCP, each MCP controls the
speed, direction and output torque of the respective e-motor through the sequencing actuation of
high current switching transistors.
Each MCP controls a respective switching transistor that in-turn controls each e-motor. The
e-motors operate using three-phase AC electricity. Three cables connect each e-motor to the
TPIM. Each individually shielded cable is orange in color to alert technicians that the potential for
high voltage is present.
The HEV e-motors operate on three-phase AC. The TPIM controls the current to provide the
requested speed and torque of each motor. The TPIM

provides current to drive the motors so that:
- AC flows through the three-phase windings in the stators
- stators are energized in sequencing pairs around the motor
- each stator coil experiences a magnetic field
- a rotating magnetic field is created

Body Control Module: Description and Operation Gateway Module - Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the optional Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system have a Hybrid Gateway
Module (HGM) (1) that is secured with three screws to the stamped steel Transmission Auxiliary Oil
Pump (TAOP) control module mounting bracket located on the left hydro form (frame rail) near the
back of the left front wheel housing within the engine compartment of the vehicle. Concealed within
a hollow in the center of the die cast aluminum HGM housing is the electronic circuitry of the HGM,
which includes a microprocessor and an electronic printed circuit board. A stamped metal cover
plate (2) is sealed and secured to the HGM housing with four screws to enclose and protect the
internal electronic circuitry and components.
Two molded plastic electrical connectors (3), one containing 24 terminal pins and the other
containing 12 terminal pins, exit the forward facing side of the HGM cover plate and are pointed
downward. These terminal pins connect the HGM to the vehicle electrical system through two
dedicated take outs and connectors of the headlamp and dash wire harness. The HGM housing
has integral mounting flanges on two sides with three mounting holes in each flange. The mounting
flange to the left of the connector receptacles is secured to the TAOP control module mounting
bracket with two screws, while the flange on the right side is secured to the bracket with only one
screw.
The HGM cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if damaged or ineffective, it must be replaced.

DESCRIPTION
The Front Control Module (FCM) is a micro controller based module located in the left front corner
of the engine compartment. The front control module mates to the power distribution center to form
the Integrated Power Module (IPM). The IPM connects directly to the battery and provides the
primary means of circuit protection and power distribution for all vehicle electrical systems. The
front control module controls power to some of these vehicle systems electrical and
electromechanical loads based on inputs received from hard wired switch inputs and data received
on the CAN bus circuit.

Gateway Module - Description > Page 3094
Body Control Module: Description and Operation Front Control Module - Operation
OPERATION
As messages are sent over the CAN bus circuit, the Front Control Module (FCM) reads these
messages and controls power to some of the vehicles electrical systems by completing the circuit
to ground (low side driver) or completing the circuit to 12 volt power (high side driver). The following
functions are controlled by the FCM:
- Front turn signals
- Stop, turn signal and tail lamps
- Front and rear hazard warning lamps
- Headlamps
- Fog Lamps
- Daytime running lamps - if equipped
- Horn
- Windshield and liftgate wiper and washer systems
- Transfer case shifting
- Trailer tow wiring output
- Rear window defroster power and timing
- Air conditioning condenser cooling fan
The FCM provides the following features for the above function:
- It provides a illuminated approach feature that turns the headlamps on when the vehicle is
unlocked with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
- It flashes lamps in response to turn signal, RKE and Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS)
inputs.
- It sounds the horn in response to RKE and VTSS inputs.
- It turns off the horn in the event of excessively long operation that could otherwise damage the
horn.
- It turns off the windshield washer motor after 10 seconds of continuous operation to protect the
motor.
- It minimizes voltage variations to the headlamps to extend bulb life and to equalize the light output
from the lamps, which might otherwise differ due to variations in wiring resistance.
- If the headlamps are left on, it automatically turns them off after eight minutes to protect the
battery from discharge.It monitors battery voltage and turns off non-essential functions such as the
fog lamps, rear window defogger, and heated seats if necessary to conserve battery power.
- It operates the high-beam headlamps at reduced intensity by pulse-width modulation of the power
supply to provide the daytime running lamps.
- It provides the variable delay intermittent windshield and liftgate wiper time delay features, and
the vehicle speed sensitive windshield wiper delay variation.
- It acts as a link between the CAN bus network for critical powertrain and anti-lock brake systems
and the network for body and interior modules.

Body Control Module: Description and Operation Gateway Module - Operation
OPERATION
The Hybrid Gateway Module (HGM) provides a communication interface between the electronic
control modules (nodes) in the vehicle, as well as with the diagnostic scan tool connected to the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus system and the nodes connected to the Hybrid Local Area
Network (H-LAN) data bus system. The HGM is the central gateway that processes and transfers
messages between the different bus systems. In addition, the HGM is Local Interface Network
(LIN) bus compatible. It receives a direct input over the LIN bus from a humidity sensor secured to
the inside rear view mirror mount on the inside of the windshield glass, which it then transmits over
the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
The microprocessor-based HGM also provides input and output circuitry that responds to both
digital and analog inputs and provides electronically controlled higher current load outputs through
lower current relay drivers. The HGM uses On-Board Diagnostics (OBD). If the HGM detects a
monitored system fault, it sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) that can be retrieved with a
diagnostic scan tool through the 16-way data link connector located on the driver side lower edge
of the instrument panel. The HGM connects directly to a fused battery current input and to ground,
so that it remains capable of operating, regardless of the ignition switch position.
The hardwired inputs and outputs for the HGM may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic
tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. However, conventional
diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the HGM, the electronic controls or
communication between other modules and devices that provide features of the Hybrid Electric
Vehicle (HEV) control system. The most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose the
HGM, the electronic controls and communication related to HGM operation, requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Procedure
WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE (WCM) PRE-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
Before attempting to repair any theft or security system, technicians should be familiar with and
fully understand the system operation. See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Antitheft and
Alarm Systems/Description and Operation/Vehicle Theft Security System - Description. The
following should be used as a checklist to be completed in its entirety prior to referencing specific
Theft and Security Diagnostic Procedures.
FOLLOW THE BASIC OUTLINE IN THE SIX-STEP TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE
- Verification of complaint
- Verification of any related symptoms
- Symptom analysis
- Problem isolation
- Repair of isolated problem
- Verification of proper operation
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT CURRENT VEHICLE CONDITION, REPAIR HISTORY, AND TECHNICAL
SERVICE BULLETINS (TSBs)
- Verify there are no outward signs of vehicle damage that could impact the proper operation of the
theft or security system. Check for aftermarket vehicle accessories that may have been installed
improperly or could interfere with the system
- Check the vehicle repair history for repairs that may relate to the current condition.
- Perform a check of current Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) for the system related to the
customer concern. If a TSB applies, follow the procedure outlined in the TSB.
DIAGNOSE ONLY THOSE FAILURES THAT ARE ACTIVE AND CAN BE REPRODUCED
- Check the control module central to the subsystem that is exhibiting the condition for active
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
- For an intermittent failure that is not current at the time of vehicle inspection, refer to the
WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE INTERMITTENT TEST See: Wireless Control Module (WCM)
Intermittent Condition Test and document the event on the repair order.
ADDRESS ACTIVE DTCS IN THE CORRECT ORDER
- Low/High Voltage and Serial Data Loss of Communication Codes
- Module Internal Failure and Configuration Mismatch Codes
- Circuit specific DTC failures
As a general rule, for any theft/security system control module that exhibits more than one active
DTC, address the codes in the order indicated; should the malfunction still be present after
conducting this Pre-diagnostic Procedure, technicians should continue to the appropriate DTC
procedure or symptom diagnostic.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Powertrain Control Module - Description
PCM
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The PCM (2) is attached to the right-front inner fender (1) located in the engine compartment.
Modes of Operation
MODES OF OPERATION
As input signals to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) change, the PCM adjusts its response to
the output devices.
The PCM will operate in two different modes: Open Loop and Closed Loop.
During Open Loop modes, the PCM receives input signals and responds only according to preset
PCM programming. Input from the oxygen (O2S) sensors is not monitored during Open Loop
modes.
During Closed Loop modes, the PCM will monitor the oxygen (O2S) sensors input. This input
indicates to the PCM whether or not the calculated injector pulse width results in the ideal air-fuel
ratio. This ratio is 14.7 parts air-to-1 part fuel. By monitoring the exhaust oxygen content through
the O2S sensor, the PCM can fine tune the injector pulse width. This is done to achieve optimum
fuel economy combined with low emission engine performance.
The fuel injection system has the following modes of operation:
- Ignition switch ON
- Engine start-up (crank)
- Engine warm-up
- Idle
- Cruise
- Acceleration
- Deceleration
- Wide open throttle (WOT)
- Ignition switch OFF
The ignition switch On, engine start-up (crank), engine warm-up, acceleration, deceleration and
wide open throttle modes are Open Loop modes. The idle and cruise modes, (with the engine at
operating temperature) are Closed Loop modes.
IGNITION SWITCH (KEY-ON) MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. When the fuel system is activated by the ignition switch, the following
actions occur:
- The PCM pre-positions the idle air control (IAC) motor.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Description and Operation
> Powertrain Control Module - Description > Page 3120
- The PCM determines atmospheric air pressure from the MAP sensor input to determine basic fuel
strategy.
- The PCM monitors the engine coolant temperature sensor input. The PCM modifies fuel strategy
based on this input.
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor input is monitored.
- Throttle position sensor (TPS) is monitored.
- The auto shutdown (ASD) relay is energized by the PCM for approximately three seconds.
- The fuel pump is energized through the fuel pump relay by the PCM. The fuel pump will operate
for approximately three seconds unless the engine is operating or the starter motor is engaged.
- The O2S sensor heater element is energized via the ASD relay. The O2S sensor input is not used
by the PCM to calibrate air-fuel ratio during this mode of operation.
ENGINE START-UP MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The following actions occur when the starter motor is engaged.
The PCM receives inputs from:
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Starter motor relay
- Camshaft position sensor signal
The PCM monitors the crankshaft position sensor. If the PCM does not receive a crankshaft
position sensor signal within 3 seconds of cranking the engine, it will shut down the fuel injection
system.
The fuel pump is activated by the PCM through the fuel pump relay.
Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off.
The PCM determines the proper ignition timing according to input received from the crankshaft
position sensor.
ENGINE WARM-UP MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. During engine warm-up, the PCM receives inputs from:
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
Based on these inputs the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off.
- The PCM adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor and adjusts ignition
timing.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This is done if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
- When engine has reached operating temperature, the PCM will begin monitoring O2S sensor
input. The system will then leave the warm-up mode and go into closed loop operation.
IDLE MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is a Closed Loop mode. At idle speed, the PCM
receives inputs from:
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Description and Operation
> Powertrain Control Module - Description > Page 3121
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Battery voltage
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)

injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual injector
on and off.
- The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and adjusts air-fuel ratio by varying injector pulse width.
It also adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by increasing and decreasing spark advance.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This happens if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
CRUISE MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is a Closed Loop mode. At cruising speed, the
PCM receives inputs from:
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Oxygen (O2S) sensors
Based on these inputs, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then adjust
the injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual injector on and off.
- The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and adjusts air-fuel ratio. It also adjusts engine idle
speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil on and off.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This happens if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
ACCELERATION MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The PCM recognizes an abrupt increase in throttle position or MAP
pressure as a demand for increased engine output and vehicle acceleration. The PCM increases
injector pulse width in response to increased throttle opening.
DECELERATION MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is an Open Loop mode. During hard
deceleration, the PCM receives the following inputs.
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Vehicle speed sensor
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Description and Operation
> Powertrain Control Module - Description > Page 3122
If the vehicle is under hard deceleration with the proper rpm and closed throttle conditions, the
PCM will ignore the oxygen sensor input signal. The PCM will enter a fuel cut-off strategy in which
it will not supply a ground to the injectors. If a hard deceleration does not exist, the PCM will
determine the proper injector pulse width and continue injection.
Based on the above inputs, the PCM will adjust engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC)
motor.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil on and off.
WIDE OPEN THROTTLE MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. During wide open throttle operation, the PCM receives the following
inputs.
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
During wide open throttle conditions, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off. The PCM ignores the oxygen sensor input signal and provides a predetermined
amount of additional fuel. This is done by adjusting injector pulse width.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil on and off.
IGNITION SWITCH OFF MODE
When ignition switch is turned to OFF position, the PCM stops operating the injectors, ignition coil,
ASD relay and fuel pump relay.
5V Power Supplies
5 VOLT SUPPLIES
Two different Powertrain Control Module (PCM) five volt supply circuits are used; primary and
secondary.
Ignition Circuit Sense
IGNITION CIRCUIT SENSE
This circuit ties the ignition switch to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Battery voltage is
supplied to the PCM through the ignition switch when the ignition is in the Run or Start position.
This is referred to as the "ignition sense" circuit and is used to "wake up" the PCM.
Power Grounds
POWER GROUNDS
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has 2 main grounds. Both of these grounds are referred to
as power grounds. All of the high-current, noisy, electrical devices are connected to these grounds
as well as all of the sensor returns. The sensor return comes into the sensor return circuit, passes
through noise suppression, and is then connected to the power ground.
The power ground is used to control ground circuits for the following PCM loads:
- Generator field winding
- Fuel injectors

air-fuel ratio, emission control devices, charging system, certain transmission features, speed
control, air conditioning compressor clutch engagement and idle speed. The PCM can adapt its
programming to meet changing operating conditions.
The PCM receives input signals from various switches and sensors. Based on these inputs, the
PCM regulates various engine and vehicle operations through different system components. These
components are referred to as Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Outputs. The sensors and
switches that provide inputs to the PCM are considered Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Inputs.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing based upon inputs it receives from sensors that react to: engine
rpm, manifold absolute pressure, engine coolant temperature, throttle position, transmission gear
selection (automatic transmission), vehicle speed and the brake switch.
The PCM adjusts idle speed based on inputs it receives from sensors that react to: throttle position,
vehicle speed, transmission gear selection, engine coolant temperature and from inputs it receives
from the air conditioning clutch switch and brake switch.

least 10 minutes. Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the 1st N-D UD CVI.
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be between 27-43° C (80-110° F).
1. Start the engine only when the engine and ignition have been off for at least ten (10) minutes. 2.
With the vehicle at a stop and the service brake applied, record the 1st N-D UD CVI while
performing a Neutral to Drive shift. The 1st N-D UD
CVI accounts for air entrapment in the UD clutch that may occur after the engine has been off for a
period of time.
3. Repeat 1 and 2 until the recorded 1st N-D UD CVI value stabilizes.
NOTE: It is important that this procedure be performed when the transmission temperature is
between 27-43° C (80-110° F). If this
procedure takes too long to complete fully for the allowed transmission oil temperature, the vehicle
may be returned to the customer with an explanation that the shift will improve daily during normal
vehicle usage. The TCM also learns at higher oil temperatures, but these values (line pressure
correction values) are not available for viewing on the scan tool.
LEARN A SMOOTH NEUTRAL TO DRIVE GARAGE SHIFT
Perform this procedure if the complaint is for a delayed or harsh shift when the transmission is put
into gear after the vehicle has had its first shift. Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the
Norm N-D UD CVI.
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be between 27-43° C (80-110° F) to learn the UD
CVI. Additional learning occurs at
temperatures as low as -18° C (0° F) and as high as 93° C (200° F). This procedure may be
performed at any temperature that experiences poor shift quality. Although the UD CVI may not
change, shift quality should improve.
1. Start the vehicle engine and shift to drive. 2. Move the vehicle forward to a speed of at least 16
km/h (10 MPH) and come to a stop. This ensures no air is present in the UD hydraulic circuit. 3.
Perform repeated N-D shifts at a stop while pausing in Neutral for at least 2-3 seconds and monitor
Norm N-D UD CVI volume until the value
stabilizes. The value will change during the N-D shift. This is normal since the UD value is different
for the N-D shift then the normal value shown which is used for 4-3 coastdown and kick downs.
Perform repeated shifts in this temperature range until the Norm N-D UD CVI value stabilizes and
the N-D shifts become smooth.
LEARN THE 1ST 2-3 SHIFT AFTER A RESTART OR SHIFT TO REVERSE
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the 1st 2-3 shift OD CVI.
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 27° C (80° F).
1. With the vehicle engine running, select reverse gear for over 2 seconds. 2. Shift the transmission
to Drive and accelerate the vehicle from a stop at a steady 15 degree throttle opening and perform
a 2-3 shift while noting
the 1st 2-3 OD CVI.
3. Repeat 1 and 2 until the 1st 2-3 upshift becomes smooth and the 1st 2-3 OD CVI stabilizes.
LEARN A SMOOTH 2-3 AND 3-4 UPSHIFT
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 43° C (110° F).
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the OD and 4C CVI's.
1. Accelerate the vehicle from a stop at a steady 15 degree throttle opening and perform multiple
1-2, 2-3, and 3-4 upshifts. The 2nd 2-3 shift
following a restart or shift to reverse will be shown during the shift as a value between the 1st 2-3
OD CVI and the normal OD CVI. Updates to the normal OD CVI will occur after the 2nd shift into
3rd gear, following a restart or shift to reverse.
2. Repeat 1 until the 2-3 and 3-4 shifts become smooth and the OD and 4C CVI become stable.
LEARN A SMOOTH 4-3 COASTDOWN AND PART THROTTLE 4-3 KICKDOWN
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 43° C (110° F).
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the UD shift volume.
1. At a vehicle speed between 64-97 km/h (40-60 MPH), perform repeated 4-3 kickdown shifts. 2.
Repeat 1 until the UD volume becomes somewhat stable and the shift becomes smooth.
LEARN A SMOOTH 1-2 UPSHIFT AND 3-2 KICKDOWN
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the 2C shift volume.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Service and Repair >
Procedures > Page 3132
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 43° C (110° F).
1. With a vehicle speed below 48 km/h (30 MPH) and the transmission in 3rd gear, perform multiple
3-2 kick downs. 2. Repeat 1 until the 3-2 kick downs become smooth and the 2C CVI becomes
stable.
LEARN A SMOOTH MANUAL 2-1 PULLDOWN SHIFT AS WELL AS A NEUTRAL TO REVERSE
SHIFT
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 43° C (110° F).
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the LR volume.
1. With the vehicle speed around 40-48 km/h (25-30 MPH) in Manual 2nd, perform manual
pulldowns to Low or 1st gear at closed throttle. 2. Repeat 1 until the LR CVI becomes stable and
the manual 2-1 becomes smooth.
LEARN A SMOOTH NEUTRAL TO REVERSE SHIFT
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 43° C (110° F).
1. With the vehicle at a stop, perform Neutral to Reverse shifts until the shift is smooth. An
unlearned Neutral to Reverse shift may be harsh or
exhibit a double bump.
2. If any of the shifts are still not smooth after the clutch volume stabilizes, an internal transmission
problem may be present.
LEARN A SMOOTH 4-5 UPSHIFT
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 43° C (110° F).
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the Alt 2C CVI.
1. Accelerate the vehicle through 88 km/h (55 mph) at a steady 10-15 degree throttle opening and
perform multiple 4-5 upshifts. 2. Repeat 1 until the 4-5 shift become smooth and the Alt 2C CVI
become stable. There is a separate 2C volume used and learned for 4-5 shifts,
2CA. It is independent of the 2C CVI learned on 3-2 kick downs.

1. StarMOBILE(R) Stand-alone Diagnostic Mode is an efficient way to flash ECUs without having
direct access to a network connection. It involves
first copying the flash file to the StarMOBILE(R) device which DOES require a network connection.
Once the file has been copied to the StarMOBILE(R) device, it can be used in a Stand-alone mode
to flash the ECU WITHOUT a network connection.
2. To use the StarMOBILE(R) in Pass-Through Mode requires that your StarMOBILE(R) is
connected to the dealerships network via a wired or
wireless connection. For more information on how to use the StarMOBILE in Pass-Through Mode
see the StarMOBILE(R) training tutorials available on 'Dealer CONNECT > Service > StarSCAN(R)
and StarMOBILE(R) Tools > Training Aids' link under the 'Training Aids' link.
3. StarMOBILE(R) does not need to be connected to a vehicle when retrieving a flash file for
Stand-alone Mode. 4. Extreme care must be taken when programming a calibration into a generic
PCM. Do not randomly select a calibration. Once a calibration is
selected and programmed, the controller cannot be reprogrammed to a different calibration. The
ECU can only be reprogrammed to a more recent version of that calibration.
5. If the flash process is interrupted or aborted, the flash should be restarted. 6. Due to the PCM /
TCM programming procedure, a DTC may be set in other ECUs within the vehicle. Some DTCs
may cause the MIL to
illuminate. From the "Home" screen select "System View". Then select "All DTCs". Press "Clear All
Stored DTCs" if there are any DTCs shown on the list.
7. When replacing a GPEC PCM for a vehicle that is equipped with a CVT, it is extremely important
that the PCM and TCM both have the latest
software calibrations.
8. Do not allow the battery charger to time out or the charging rate to climb above 13.5 volts during
the flash process. 9. The StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(R) diagnostic tools fully support Internet
connectivity and must be configured for your dealership's network.
For help on setting up your StarSCAN(R) / StarMOBILE(R) for the dealership's network, refer to the
StarSCAN(R) / StarMOBILE(R) Quick Start Networking Guide available on 'Dealer CONNECT >
Service > StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(R) Tools > Online Documentation' under the download

SKREEM Programming
SKREEM PROGRAMMING
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a gasoline engine, or an Engine Control Module
(ECM) for a diesel engine and the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as the
Wireless Control Module/WCM) on vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
NOTE: If the PCM and the SKREEM are replaced at the same time, program the PCM VIN into the
PCM first.
1. If applicable first replace the PCM/ECM with the original WCM still connected to the vehicle. 2.
Using the appropriate service information program the new PCM/ECM. (This will ensure the Secret
Key Transfer from the original WCM into the
new PCM/ECM).
3. Now replace and program the WCM. This will retain the Secret Key from the PCM/ECM back
into the new WCM. 4. With the scan tool, select Miscellaneous Functions, WCM/Wireless Control
Module. Then select the desired procedure and follow the display on
the scan tool.
5. If the vehicle is equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System program the Placard Pressure
Values into the WCM/SKREEM. 6. Ensure all the customer's keys have been programmed into the
new module if necessary.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly,
programming new keys will be necessary.
PROGRAMMING THE SKREEM
The SKIS Secret Key is an ID code that is unique to each SKREEM/WCM. This code is
programmed and stored in the SKREEM/WCM, the PCM/ECM, and each ignition key transponder
chip. When the PCM/ECM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret
Key into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in
the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED, ECM REPLACED, WCM REPLACED, or
GATEWAY REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL
MODULE/WCM menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Programming the PCM/ECM or SKREEM is done using a diagnostic scan tool and a PIN to
enter secure access mode. If three
attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an incorrect PIN, secure access mode will
be locked out for one hour. To exit this
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))

Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Service and Repair >
Procedures > Page 3140
lockout mode, turn the ignition to the RUN position for one hour then enter the correct PIN. Be
certain that all accessories are turned OFF. Also monitor the battery state and connect a battery
charger if necessary.
NOTE: Before replacing the ECU 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 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.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When a ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM 3. Replace all ignition keys and program them
to the new SKIM.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When an ECM (Bosch) and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in
order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM (Bosch) 3. Replace all ignition keys and
program them to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING THE SKIM
CAUTION: Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle. 2. Connect the StarSCAN(R).
CAUTION: If the ECM/PCM and SKREEM/WCM are replaced at the same time, the ECM/PCM
MUST be programmed before the
SKREEM/WCM.
3. Select "ECU View". 4. Select "WCM Wireless Control Module". 5. Select "Miscellaneous
Functions". 6. Select WCM replaced. 7. Enter the PIN when prompted. 8. Verify the correct
information.
NOTE: If the ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time, all vehicle keys will need to be
replaced and programmed to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE/WCM menu item.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly,
programming new keys will be necessary.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret
Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
- PROGRAMMING NOT ATTEMPTED - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status
and there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- PROGRAMMING KEY FAILED (POSSIBLE USED KEY FROM WRONG VEHICLE) - SKREEM is
unable to program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is ineffective.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.

Engine Control Module: Removal and Replacement
Powertrain Control Module - Removal
REMOVAL
CAUTION: Certain ABS systems rely on having the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) broadcast
the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
over the bus network. To prevent problems of DTCs and other items related to the VIN broadcast, it
is recommend that you disconnect the ABS CAB (controller) temporarily when replacing the PCM.
Once the PCM is replaced, write the VIN to the PCM using the scan tool. This is done from the
engine main menu. Arrow over to the second page to "1. Miscellaneous". Select "Check VIN" from
the choices. Make sure it has the correct VIN entered before continuing. When the VIN is complete,
turn off the ignition key and reconnect the ABS module connector. This will prevent the setting of
DTCs and other items associated with the lack of a VIN detected when you turn the key ON after
replacing the PCM.
CAUTION: Use the scan tool to reprogram the new PCM with the vehicles original identification
number (VIN) and the vehicles original
mileage. If this step is not done, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may be set.
The PCM (2) is attached to the right-front inner fender (1) located in the engine compartment. To
avoid possible voltage spike damage to the PCM, ignition key must be off, and negative battery
cable must be disconnected before unplugging PCM connectors.
1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable. 2. Remove both wiper arms. See: Wiper and
Washer Systems/Wiper Arm/Service and Repair/Wiper Arm - Removal. 3. Remove wiper cowl (two
screws, four pins). 4. Remove wiper cowl support (three bolts). 5. Remove air intake tube (four
nuts). 6. Carefully unplug the four 38-way connectors (3) from PCM. 7. Remove three PCM
mounting bolts (4), and remove PCM from vehicle.

is recommend that you disconnect the ABS CAB (controller) temporarily when replacing the PCM.
Once the PCM is replaced, write the VIN to the PCM using the scan tool. This is done from the
engine main menu. Arrow over to the second page to "1. Miscellaneous". Select "Check VIN" from
the choices. Make sure it has the correct VIN entered before continuing. When the VIN is complete,
turn off the ignition key and reconnect the ABS module connector. This will prevent the setting of
DTCs and other items associated with the lack of a VIN detected when you turn the key ON after
replacing the PCM.
CAUTION: Use the scan tool to reprogram the new PCM with the vehicles original identification
number (VIN) and the vehicles original
mileage. If this step is not done, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may be set.

PCM Output
PCM OUTPUT
The ASD relay supplies battery voltage (12+ volts) to the fuel injectors and ignition coil(s). With
certain emissions packages it also supplies 12-volts to the oxygen sensor heating elements.
The ground circuit for the coil within the ASD relay is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM operates the ASD relay by switching its ground circuit on and off.
The ASD relay will be shut-down, meaning the 12-volt power supply to the ASD relay will be
de-activated by the PCM if:
- The ignition key is left in the ON position. This is if the engine has not been running for
approximately 1.8 seconds.
- There is a crankshaft position sensor signal to the PCM that is lower than pre-determined values.
ASD Sense - PCM Input
ASD SENSE - PCM INPUT
A 12 volt signal at this input indicates to the PCM that the ASD has been activated. The relay is
used to connect the oxygen sensor heater element, ignition coil and fuel injectors to 12 volt +
power supply.
This input is used only to sense that the ASD relay is energized. If the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) does not see 12 volts at this input when the ASD should be activated, it will set a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC).

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) energizes the electric fuel pump through the fuel pump
relay. The fuel pump relay is energized by first applying battery voltage to it when the ignition key is
turned ON, and then applying a ground signal to the relay from the PCM.
Whenever the ignition key is turned ON, the electric fuel pump will operate. But, the PCM will
shut-down the ground circuit to the fuel pump relay in approximately 1-3 seconds unless the engine
is operating or the starter motor is engaged.

The CMP sensor is used in conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to differentiate between
fuel injection and spark events. It is also used to synchronize the fuel injectors with their respective
cylinders. The sensor generates electrical pulses. These pulses (signals) are sent to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). The PCM will then determine crankshaft position from both the camshaft
position sensor and crankshaft position sensor.
The tonewheel is located at the front of the camshaft (2). As the tonewheel rotates, notches (3)
pass through the sync signal generator.
When the cam gear is rotating, the sensor will detect the notches. Input voltage from the sensor to
the PCM will then switch from a low (approximately 0.3 volts) to a high (approximately 5 volts).
When the sensor detects a notch has passed, the input voltage switches back low to approximately
0.3 volts.

Engine speed and crankshaft position are provided through the crankshaft position sensor. The
sensor generates pulses that are the input sent to the powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM
interprets the sensor input to determine the crankshaft position. The PCM then uses this position,
along with other inputs, to determine injector sequence and ignition timing.
The sensor is a hall effect device combined with an internal magnet. It is also sensitive to steel
within a certain distance from it.
On the 5.7L V-8 engine, a tonewheel is bolted to the engine crankshaft. This tonewheel has sets of
notches (3) at its outer edge.
The notches cause a pulse to be generated when they pass under the sensor. The pulses are the
input to the PCM.

DESCRIPTION
The 2-wire Intake Manifold Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is installed in the intake manifold with the
sensor element extending into the air stream.
The IAT sensor is a two-wire Negative Thermal Coefficient (NTC) sensor. Meaning, as intake
manifold temperature increases, resistance (voltage) in the sensor decreases. As temperature
decreases, resistance (voltage) in the sensor increases.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation Intake Air Temperature Sensor Operation
OPERATION
The IAT sensor provides an input voltage to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) indicating the
density of the air entering the intake manifold based upon intake manifold temperature. At key-on,
a 5-volt power circuit is supplied to the sensor from the PCM. The sensor is grounded at the PCM
through a low-noise, sensor-return circuit.
The PCM uses this input to calculate the following:
- Injector pulse-width
- Adjustment of spark timing (to help prevent spark knock with high intake manifold air-charge
temperatures)
The resistance values of the IAT sensor is the same as for the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
sensor.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Knock Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
When the knock sensor detects a knock in one of the cylinders on the corresponding bank, it sends
an input signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). In response, the PCM retards ignition
timing for all cylinders by a scheduled amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric crystal 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 the knock sensor voltage signal as an input. 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 long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). The PCM, using
short term memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term
memory is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance,
possibly causing improper spark control.
Always use the specified torque when installing the knock sensors.

Manifold Pressure/Vacuum Sensor: Description and Operation
OPERATION
The MAP sensor is used as an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). It contains 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 manifold absolute pressure (MAP) equals Barometric pressure, the pulse
width will be at maximum.
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. To operate the sensor, it is supplied a regulated 4.8 to 5.1
volts. Ground is provided through the low-noise, sensor return circuit at the PCM.
The MAP sensor input is the number one contributor to fuel injector 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 at a higher altitude, because the air density changes with
altitude. It will also help to correct for varying barometric pressure. Barometric pressure and altitude
have a direct inverse correlation; as altitude goes up, barometric goes down. At key-on, the PCM
powers up and looks at 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 voltage 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 a known good sensor.
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 (WOT), based upon Throttle Position Sensor (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 input to aid in calculating the following:
- Manifold pressure
- Barometric pressure
- Engine load
- Injector pulse-width
- Spark-advance programs
- Shift-point strategies (certain automatic transmissions only)
- Idle speed
- Decel fuel shutoff
The MAP sensor signal is provided from a single piezoresistive element located in the center of a
diaphragm. The element and diaphragm are both made of silicone. As manifold pressure changes,
the diaphragm moves causing the element to deflect, which stresses the silicone. When silicone is
exposed to stress, its resistance changes. As manifold vacuum increases, the MAP sensor input
voltage decreases proportionally. The sensor also contains electronics that condition the signal and
provide temperature compensation.
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;
meaning 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 approximately 29.92 in Hg. For every 100 feet of altitude,
barometric pressure drops 0.10 in. Hg. If a storm goes through, it can change barometric pressure
from what should be present for that altitude. You should know what the average pressure and
corresponding barometric pressure is for your area.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation Transmission Range Sensor Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
There are many possible combinations of open and closed switches (codes). This results in many
codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes. An invalid code will result in a
DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based on pressure switch data. This
allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS) is a linear potentiometer. It provides the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) with a DC voltage signal proportional to the angle, or position of the
accelerator pedal. The APPS signal is translated (along with other sensors) to place the throttle
plate (within the throttle body) to a pre-determined position.

Fuel Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION - HEV
The fuel tank pressure sensor provides the PCM with information on vapor pressure inside the fuel
tank. The sensor is a diaphragm-type pressure sensor and varies its voltage output depending on
fuel tank pressure. When the fuel tank isolation valve is activated (closed), preventing fuel vapors
from leaving the tank, the PCM will monitor the fuel tank pressure sensor to prevent pressure from
increasing or decreasing to an unsafe level.
Excessive fuel tank pressure could cause fuel vapors to vent out the fuel cap or damage system
components while insufficient fuel tank pressure (vacuum) caused by lack of air entering the tank to
take the place of consumed fuel could lead to collapsed tank, lines or loss of fuel pressure.

5.7L
The CMP sensor is used in conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to differentiate between
fuel injection and spark events. It is also used to synchronize the fuel injectors with their respective
cylinders. The sensor generates electrical pulses. These pulses (signals) are sent to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). The PCM will then determine crankshaft position from both the camshaft
position sensor and crankshaft position sensor.
The tonewheel is located at the front of the camshaft (2). As the tonewheel rotates, notches (3)
pass through the sync signal generator.
When the cam gear is rotating, the sensor will detect the notches. Input voltage from the sensor to
the PCM will then switch from a low (approximately 0.3 volts) to a high (approximately 5 volts).
When the sensor detects a notch has passed, the input voltage switches back low to approximately
0.3 volts.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Knock Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
When the knock sensor detects a knock in one of the cylinders on the corresponding bank, it sends
an input signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). In response, the PCM retards ignition
timing for all cylinders by a scheduled amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric crystal 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 the knock sensor voltage signal as an input. 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 long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). The PCM, using
short term memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term
memory is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance,
possibly causing improper spark control.
Always use the specified torque when installing the knock sensors.

OPERATION
The IAT sensor provides an input voltage to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) indicating the
density of the air entering the intake manifold based upon intake manifold temperature. At key-on,
a 5-volt power circuit is supplied to the sensor from the PCM. The sensor is grounded at the PCM
through a low-noise, sensor-return circuit.
The PCM uses this input to calculate the following:
- Injector pulse-width
- Adjustment of spark timing (to help prevent spark knock with high intake manifold air-charge
temperatures)
The resistance values of the IAT sensor is the same as for the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
sensor.

DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the optional Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system have a Hybrid Gateway
Module (HGM) (1) that is secured with three screws to the stamped steel Transmission Auxiliary Oil
Pump (TAOP) control module mounting bracket located on the left hydro form (frame rail) near the
back of the left front wheel housing within the engine compartment of the vehicle. Concealed within
a hollow in the center of the die cast aluminum HGM housing is the electronic circuitry of the HGM,
which includes a microprocessor and an electronic printed circuit board. A stamped metal cover
plate (2) is sealed and secured to the HGM housing with four screws to enclose and protect the
internal electronic circuitry and components.
Two molded plastic electrical connectors (3), one containing 24 terminal pins and the other
containing 12 terminal pins, exit the forward facing side of the HGM cover plate and are pointed
downward. These terminal pins connect the HGM to the vehicle electrical system through two
dedicated take outs and connectors of the headlamp and dash wire harness. The HGM housing
has integral mounting flanges on two sides with three mounting holes in each flange. The mounting
flange to the left of the connector receptacles is secured to the TAOP control module mounting
bracket with two screws, while the flange on the right side is secured to the bracket with only one
screw.
The HGM cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if damaged or ineffective, it must be replaced.

DESCRIPTION
The Front Control Module (FCM) is a micro controller based module located in the left front corner
of the engine compartment. The front control module mates to the power distribution center to form
the Integrated Power Module (IPM). The IPM connects directly to the battery and provides the
primary means of circuit protection and power distribution for all vehicle electrical systems. The
front control module controls power to some of these vehicle systems electrical and
electromechanical loads based on inputs received from hard wired switch inputs and data received
on the CAN bus circuit.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Gateway Module - Description > Page 3464
Body Control Module: Description and Operation Front Control Module - Operation
OPERATION
As messages are sent over the CAN bus circuit, the Front Control Module (FCM) reads these
messages and controls power to some of the vehicles electrical systems by completing the circuit
to ground (low side driver) or completing the circuit to 12 volt power (high side driver). The following
functions are controlled by the FCM:
- Front turn signals
- Stop, turn signal and tail lamps
- Front and rear hazard warning lamps
- Headlamps
- Fog Lamps
- Daytime running lamps - if equipped
- Horn
- Windshield and liftgate wiper and washer systems
- Transfer case shifting
- Trailer tow wiring output
- Rear window defroster power and timing
- Air conditioning condenser cooling fan
The FCM provides the following features for the above function:
- It provides a illuminated approach feature that turns the headlamps on when the vehicle is
unlocked with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
- It flashes lamps in response to turn signal, RKE and Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS)
inputs.
- It sounds the horn in response to RKE and VTSS inputs.
- It turns off the horn in the event of excessively long operation that could otherwise damage the
horn.
- It turns off the windshield washer motor after 10 seconds of continuous operation to protect the
motor.
- It minimizes voltage variations to the headlamps to extend bulb life and to equalize the light output
from the lamps, which might otherwise differ due to variations in wiring resistance.
- If the headlamps are left on, it automatically turns them off after eight minutes to protect the
battery from discharge.It monitors battery voltage and turns off non-essential functions such as the
fog lamps, rear window defogger, and heated seats if necessary to conserve battery power.
- It operates the high-beam headlamps at reduced intensity by pulse-width modulation of the power
supply to provide the daytime running lamps.
- It provides the variable delay intermittent windshield and liftgate wiper time delay features, and
the vehicle speed sensitive windshield wiper delay variation.
- It acts as a link between the CAN bus network for critical powertrain and anti-lock brake systems
and the network for body and interior modules.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Gateway Module - Description > Page 3465
Body Control Module: Description and Operation Gateway Module - Operation
OPERATION
The Hybrid Gateway Module (HGM) provides a communication interface between the electronic
control modules (nodes) in the vehicle, as well as with the diagnostic scan tool connected to the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus system and the nodes connected to the Hybrid Local Area
Network (H-LAN) data bus system. The HGM is the central gateway that processes and transfers
messages between the different bus systems. In addition, the HGM is Local Interface Network
(LIN) bus compatible. It receives a direct input over the LIN bus from a humidity sensor secured to
the inside rear view mirror mount on the inside of the windshield glass, which it then transmits over
the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
The microprocessor-based HGM also provides input and output circuitry that responds to both
digital and analog inputs and provides electronically controlled higher current load outputs through
lower current relay drivers. The HGM uses On-Board Diagnostics (OBD). If the HGM detects a
monitored system fault, it sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) that can be retrieved with a
diagnostic scan tool through the 16-way data link connector located on the driver side lower edge
of the instrument panel. The HGM connects directly to a fused battery current input and to ground,
so that it remains capable of operating, regardless of the ignition switch position.
The hardwired inputs and outputs for the HGM may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic
tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. However, conventional
diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the HGM, the electronic controls or
communication between other modules and devices that provide features of the Hybrid Electric
Vehicle (HEV) control system. The most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose the
HGM, the electronic controls and communication related to HGM operation, requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Before attempting to repair any theft or security system, technicians should be familiar with and
fully understand the system operation. See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Antitheft and
Alarm Systems/Description and Operation/Vehicle Theft Security System - Description. The
following should be used as a checklist to be completed in its entirety prior to referencing specific
Theft and Security Diagnostic Procedures.
FOLLOW THE BASIC OUTLINE IN THE SIX-STEP TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE
- Verification of complaint
- Verification of any related symptoms
- Symptom analysis
- Problem isolation
- Repair of isolated problem
- Verification of proper operation
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT CURRENT VEHICLE CONDITION, REPAIR HISTORY, AND TECHNICAL
SERVICE BULLETINS (TSBs)
- Verify there are no outward signs of vehicle damage that could impact the proper operation of the
theft or security system. Check for aftermarket vehicle accessories that may have been installed
improperly or could interfere with the system
- Check the vehicle repair history for repairs that may relate to the current condition.
- Perform a check of current Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) for the system related to the
customer concern. If a TSB applies, follow the procedure outlined in the TSB.
DIAGNOSE ONLY THOSE FAILURES THAT ARE ACTIVE AND CAN BE REPRODUCED
- Check the control module central to the subsystem that is exhibiting the condition for active
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
- For an intermittent failure that is not current at the time of vehicle inspection, refer to the
WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE INTERMITTENT TEST See: Wireless Control Module (WCM)
Intermittent Condition Test and document the event on the repair order.

cylinders. The sensor generates electrical pulses. These pulses (signals) are sent to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). The PCM will then determine crankshaft position from both the camshaft
position sensor and crankshaft position sensor.
The tonewheel is located at the front of the camshaft (2). As the tonewheel rotates, notches (3)
pass through the sync signal generator.
When the cam gear is rotating, the sensor will detect the notches. Input voltage from the sensor to
the PCM will then switch from a low (approximately 0.3 volts) to a high (approximately 5 volts).
When the sensor detects a notch has passed, the input voltage switches back low to approximately
0.3 volts.

5.7L
Engine speed and crankshaft position are provided through the crankshaft position sensor. The
sensor generates pulses that are the input sent to the powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM
interprets the sensor input to determine the crankshaft position. The PCM then uses this position,
along with other inputs, to determine injector sequence and ignition timing.
The sensor is a hall effect device combined with an internal magnet. It is also sensitive to steel
within a certain distance from it.
On the 5.7L V-8 engine, a tonewheel is bolted to the engine crankshaft. This tonewheel has sets of
notches (3) at its outer edge.
The notches cause a pulse to be generated when they pass under the sensor. The pulses are the
input to the PCM.

Electronic Throttle Control Indicator: Description and Operation ETC Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
An Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters.
However, on vehicles not equipped with ETC, this indicator is electronically disabled. This indicator
is located in the center of the speedometer, in the area to the right of the speedometer needle hub.
The ETC indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol
icon for Electronic Throttle Control in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark
outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated.
A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the
indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated
from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The ETC indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Electronic Throttle Control Indicator: Description and Operation ETC Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the
ETC system, or a circuit or component of the system is ineffective. The ETC indicator is controlled
by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and
electronic messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The ETC indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED is
always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the ETC indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the ON position the ETC indicator illuminates for
about 15 seconds. The entire bulb test is a function of the PCM.
- ETC Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic ETC indicator
lamp-on message from the PCM, the ETC indicator illuminates. The indicator can be flashed on
and off, or illuminated solid, as dictated by the PCM message. The indicator remains illuminated
solid or continues to flash for about 12 seconds or until the cluster receives a lamp-off message
from the PCM, whichever is longer. If the indicator is illuminated solid with the engine running the
vehicle will usually remain drivable. If the indicator is flashing with the engine running the vehicle
may require towing. A flashing indicator means the ETC system requires immediate service. The
indicator is extinguished when the ignition switch turns to the off position.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-on or lamp-off messages from the PCM for
three consecutive seconds, the ETC indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated until
the cluster receives a single lamp-off message from the PCM.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the ETC indicator is turns on, then off
again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the
cluster control circuitry. The actuator test illumination of the ETC indicator is a function of the PCM.
The PCM continually monitors the ETC system circuits and sensors to decide whether the system
is in good operating condition. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the
instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). If the PCM sends a lamp-on
message after the bulb test, it indicates that the PCM has detected an ETC system malfunction or
that the ETC system is ineffective. The PCM stores a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any
malfunction it detects. Each time the ETC indicator fails to illuminate due to an open or short in the
cluster ETC indicator circuit, the cluster sends a message notifying the PCM of the condition, then
the instrument cluster and the PCM will each store a DTC.
Using a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the ETC system, the PCM, the CCN, the CAN
data bus or the electronic communication related to ETC indicator operation. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Powertrain Control Module - Description
PCM
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The PCM (2) is attached to the right-front inner fender (1) located in the engine compartment.
Modes of Operation
MODES OF OPERATION
As input signals to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) change, the PCM adjusts its response to
the output devices.
The PCM will operate in two different modes: Open Loop and Closed Loop.
During Open Loop modes, the PCM receives input signals and responds only according to preset
PCM programming. Input from the oxygen (O2S) sensors is not monitored during Open Loop
modes.
During Closed Loop modes, the PCM will monitor the oxygen (O2S) sensors input. This input
indicates to the PCM whether or not the calculated injector pulse width results in the ideal air-fuel
ratio. This ratio is 14.7 parts air-to-1 part fuel. By monitoring the exhaust oxygen content through
the O2S sensor, the PCM can fine tune the injector pulse width. This is done to achieve optimum
fuel economy combined with low emission engine performance.
The fuel injection system has the following modes of operation:
- Ignition switch ON
- Engine start-up (crank)
- Engine warm-up
- Idle
- Cruise
- Acceleration
- Deceleration
- Wide open throttle (WOT)
- Ignition switch OFF
The ignition switch On, engine start-up (crank), engine warm-up, acceleration, deceleration and
wide open throttle modes are Open Loop modes. The idle and cruise modes, (with the engine at
operating temperature) are Closed Loop modes.
IGNITION SWITCH (KEY-ON) MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. When the fuel system is activated by the ignition switch, the following
actions occur:
- The PCM pre-positions the idle air control (IAC) motor.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Powertrain Control Module - Description > Page 3530
- The PCM determines atmospheric air pressure from the MAP sensor input to determine basic fuel
strategy.
- The PCM monitors the engine coolant temperature sensor input. The PCM modifies fuel strategy
based on this input.
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor input is monitored.
- Throttle position sensor (TPS) is monitored.
- The auto shutdown (ASD) relay is energized by the PCM for approximately three seconds.
- The fuel pump is energized through the fuel pump relay by the PCM. The fuel pump will operate
for approximately three seconds unless the engine is operating or the starter motor is engaged.
- The O2S sensor heater element is energized via the ASD relay. The O2S sensor input is not used
by the PCM to calibrate air-fuel ratio during this mode of operation.
ENGINE START-UP MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The following actions occur when the starter motor is engaged.
The PCM receives inputs from:
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Starter motor relay
- Camshaft position sensor signal
The PCM monitors the crankshaft position sensor. If the PCM does not receive a crankshaft
position sensor signal within 3 seconds of cranking the engine, it will shut down the fuel injection
system.
The fuel pump is activated by the PCM through the fuel pump relay.
Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off.
The PCM determines the proper ignition timing according to input received from the crankshaft
position sensor.
ENGINE WARM-UP MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. During engine warm-up, the PCM receives inputs from:
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
Based on these inputs the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off.
- The PCM adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor and adjusts ignition
timing.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This is done if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
- When engine has reached operating temperature, the PCM will begin monitoring O2S sensor
input. The system will then leave the warm-up mode and go into closed loop operation.
IDLE MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is a Closed Loop mode. At idle speed, the PCM
receives inputs from:
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Powertrain Control Module - Description > Page 3531
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Battery voltage
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Oxygen sensors
Based on these inputs, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual injector
on and off.
- The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and adjusts air-fuel ratio by varying injector pulse width.
It also adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by increasing and decreasing spark advance.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This happens if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
CRUISE MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is a Closed Loop mode. At cruising speed, the
PCM receives inputs from:
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Oxygen (O2S) sensors
Based on these inputs, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then adjust
the injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual injector on and off.
- The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and adjusts air-fuel ratio. It also adjusts engine idle
speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil on and off.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This happens if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
ACCELERATION MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The PCM recognizes an abrupt increase in throttle position or MAP
pressure as a demand for increased engine output and vehicle acceleration. The PCM increases
injector pulse width in response to increased throttle opening.
DECELERATION MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is an Open Loop mode. During hard
deceleration, the PCM receives the following inputs.
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Vehicle speed sensor
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Powertrain Control Module - Description > Page 3532
If the vehicle is under hard deceleration with the proper rpm and closed throttle conditions, the
PCM will ignore the oxygen sensor input signal. The PCM will enter a fuel cut-off strategy in which
it will not supply a ground to the injectors. If a hard deceleration does not exist, the PCM will
determine the proper injector pulse width and continue injection.
Based on the above inputs, the PCM will adjust engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC)
motor.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil on and off.
WIDE OPEN THROTTLE MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. During wide open throttle operation, the PCM receives the following
inputs.
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
During wide open throttle conditions, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off. The PCM ignores the oxygen sensor input signal and provides a predetermined
amount of additional fuel. This is done by adjusting injector pulse width.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil on and off.
IGNITION SWITCH OFF MODE
When ignition switch is turned to OFF position, the PCM stops operating the injectors, ignition coil,
ASD relay and fuel pump relay.
5V Power Supplies
5 VOLT SUPPLIES
Two different Powertrain Control Module (PCM) five volt supply circuits are used; primary and
secondary.
Ignition Circuit Sense
IGNITION CIRCUIT SENSE
This circuit ties the ignition switch to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Battery voltage is
supplied to the PCM through the ignition switch when the ignition is in the Run or Start position.
This is referred to as the "ignition sense" circuit and is used to "wake up" the PCM.
Power Grounds
POWER GROUNDS
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has 2 main grounds. Both of these grounds are referred to
as power grounds. All of the high-current, noisy, electrical devices are connected to these grounds
as well as all of the sensor returns. The sensor return comes into the sensor return circuit, passes
through noise suppression, and is then connected to the power ground.
The power ground is used to control ground circuits for the following PCM loads:
- Generator field winding

PCM
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The PCM is a pre-programmed, microprocessor digital computer. It regulates ignition timing,
air-fuel ratio, emission control devices, charging system, certain transmission features, speed
control, air conditioning compressor clutch engagement and idle speed. The PCM can adapt its
programming to meet changing operating conditions.
The PCM receives input signals from various switches and sensors. Based on these inputs, the
PCM regulates various engine and vehicle operations through different system components. These
components are referred to as Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Outputs. The sensors and
switches that provide inputs to the PCM are considered Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Inputs.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing based upon inputs it receives from sensors that react to: engine
rpm, manifold absolute pressure, engine coolant temperature, throttle position, transmission gear
selection (automatic transmission), vehicle speed and the brake switch.
The PCM adjusts idle speed based on inputs it receives from sensors that react to: throttle position,
vehicle speed, transmission gear selection, engine coolant temperature and from inputs it receives
from the air conditioning clutch switch and brake switch.
Based on inputs that it receives, the PCM adjusts ignition coil dwell. The PCM also adjusts the
generator charge rate through control of the generator field and provides speed control operation.

Ignition Circuit Sense
IGNITION CIRCUIT SENSE
The ignition circuit sense input tells the PCM the ignition switch has energized the ignition circuit.
Battery voltage is also supplied to the PCM through the ignition switch when the ignition is in the
RUN or START position. This is referred to as the "ignition sense" circuit and is used to "wake up"
the PCM. Voltage on the ignition input can be as low as 6 volts and the PCM will still function.
Voltage is supplied to this circuit to power the PCM's 8-volt regulator and to allow the PCM to
perform fuel, ignition and emissions control functions.

TCM Drive Learn
DRIVE LEARN RFE and RLE
When a transmission is repaired and a Quick Learn procedure has been performed on the
Transmission Control Module (TCM), the following Drive Learn procedure can be performed to fine
tune any shifts which are particularly objectionable.
NOTE: It is not necessary to perform the complete Drive Learn procedure every time the TCM is
Quick Learned. Perform only the portions
which target the objectionable shift.
LEARN A SMOOTH 1ST NEUTRAL TO DRIVE SHIFT
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Service and Repair > Procedures > Page 3541
Perform this procedure only if the complaint is for a delayed or harsh shift the first time the
transmission is put into gear after the vehicle is allowed to set with the engine not running for at
least 10 minutes. Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the 1st N-D UD CVI.
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be between 27-43° C (80-110° F).
1. Start the engine only when the engine and ignition have been off for at least ten (10) minutes. 2.
With the vehicle at a stop and the service brake applied, record the 1st N-D UD CVI while
performing a Neutral to Drive shift. The 1st N-D UD
CVI accounts for air entrapment in the UD clutch that may occur after the engine has been off for a
period of time.
3. Repeat 1 and 2 until the recorded 1st N-D UD CVI value stabilizes.
NOTE: It is important that this procedure be performed when the transmission temperature is
between 27-43° C (80-110° F). If this
procedure takes too long to complete fully for the allowed transmission oil temperature, the vehicle
may be returned to the customer with an explanation that the shift will improve daily during normal
vehicle usage. The TCM also learns at higher oil temperatures, but these values (line pressure
correction values) are not available for viewing on the scan tool.
LEARN A SMOOTH NEUTRAL TO DRIVE GARAGE SHIFT
Perform this procedure if the complaint is for a delayed or harsh shift when the transmission is put
into gear after the vehicle has had its first shift. Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the
Norm N-D UD CVI.
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be between 27-43° C (80-110° F) to learn the UD
CVI. Additional learning occurs at
temperatures as low as -18° C (0° F) and as high as 93° C (200° F). This procedure may be
performed at any temperature that experiences poor shift quality. Although the UD CVI may not
change, shift quality should improve.
1. Start the vehicle engine and shift to drive. 2. Move the vehicle forward to a speed of at least 16
km/h (10 MPH) and come to a stop. This ensures no air is present in the UD hydraulic circuit. 3.
Perform repeated N-D shifts at a stop while pausing in Neutral for at least 2-3 seconds and monitor
Norm N-D UD CVI volume until the value
stabilizes. The value will change during the N-D shift. This is normal since the UD value is different
for the N-D shift then the normal value shown which is used for 4-3 coastdown and kick downs.
Perform repeated shifts in this temperature range until the Norm N-D UD CVI value stabilizes and
the N-D shifts become smooth.
LEARN THE 1ST 2-3 SHIFT AFTER A RESTART OR SHIFT TO REVERSE
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the 1st 2-3 shift OD CVI.
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 27° C (80° F).
1. With the vehicle engine running, select reverse gear for over 2 seconds. 2. Shift the transmission
to Drive and accelerate the vehicle from a stop at a steady 15 degree throttle opening and perform
a 2-3 shift while noting
the 1st 2-3 OD CVI.
3. Repeat 1 and 2 until the 1st 2-3 upshift becomes smooth and the 1st 2-3 OD CVI stabilizes.
LEARN A SMOOTH 2-3 AND 3-4 UPSHIFT
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 43° C (110° F).
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the OD and 4C CVI's.
1. Accelerate the vehicle from a stop at a steady 15 degree throttle opening and perform multiple
1-2, 2-3, and 3-4 upshifts. The 2nd 2-3 shift
following a restart or shift to reverse will be shown during the shift as a value between the 1st 2-3
OD CVI and the normal OD CVI. Updates to the normal OD CVI will occur after the 2nd shift into
3rd gear, following a restart or shift to reverse.
2. Repeat 1 until the 2-3 and 3-4 shifts become smooth and the OD and 4C CVI become stable.
LEARN A SMOOTH 4-3 COASTDOWN AND PART THROTTLE 4-3 KICKDOWN
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 43° C (110° F).
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the UD shift volume.
1. At a vehicle speed between 64-97 km/h (40-60 MPH), perform repeated 4-3 kickdown shifts. 2.
Repeat 1 until the UD volume becomes somewhat stable and the shift becomes smooth.
LEARN A SMOOTH 1-2 UPSHIFT AND 3-2 KICKDOWN
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the 2C shift volume.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Service and Repair > Procedures > Page 3542
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 43° C (110° F).
1. With a vehicle speed below 48 km/h (30 MPH) and the transmission in 3rd gear, perform multiple
3-2 kick downs. 2. Repeat 1 until the 3-2 kick downs become smooth and the 2C CVI becomes
stable.
LEARN A SMOOTH MANUAL 2-1 PULLDOWN SHIFT AS WELL AS A NEUTRAL TO REVERSE
SHIFT
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 43° C (110° F).
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the LR volume.
1. With the vehicle speed around 40-48 km/h (25-30 MPH) in Manual 2nd, perform manual
pulldowns to Low or 1st gear at closed throttle. 2. Repeat 1 until the LR CVI becomes stable and
the manual 2-1 becomes smooth.
LEARN A SMOOTH NEUTRAL TO REVERSE SHIFT
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 43° C (110° F).
1. With the vehicle at a stop, perform Neutral to Reverse shifts until the shift is smooth. An
unlearned Neutral to Reverse shift may be harsh or
exhibit a double bump.
2. If any of the shifts are still not smooth after the clutch volume stabilizes, an internal transmission
problem may be present.
LEARN A SMOOTH 4-5 UPSHIFT
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 43° C (110° F).
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the Alt 2C CVI.
1. Accelerate the vehicle through 88 km/h (55 mph) at a steady 10-15 degree throttle opening and
perform multiple 4-5 upshifts. 2. Repeat 1 until the 4-5 shift become smooth and the Alt 2C CVI
become stable. There is a separate 2C volume used and learned for 4-5 shifts,
2CA. It is independent of the 2C CVI learned on 3-2 kick downs.

1. StarMOBILE(R) Stand-alone Diagnostic Mode is an efficient way to flash ECUs without having
direct access to a network connection. It involves
first copying the flash file to the StarMOBILE(R) device which DOES require a network connection.
Once the file has been copied to the StarMOBILE(R) device, it can be used in a Stand-alone mode
to flash the ECU WITHOUT a network connection.
2. To use the StarMOBILE(R) in Pass-Through Mode requires that your StarMOBILE(R) is
connected to the dealerships network via a wired or
wireless connection. For more information on how to use the StarMOBILE in Pass-Through Mode
see the StarMOBILE(R) training tutorials available on 'Dealer CONNECT > Service > StarSCAN(R)
and StarMOBILE(R) Tools > Training Aids' link under the 'Training Aids' link.
3. StarMOBILE(R) does not need to be connected to a vehicle when retrieving a flash file for
Stand-alone Mode. 4. Extreme care must be taken when programming a calibration into a generic
PCM. Do not randomly select a calibration. Once a calibration is
selected and programmed, the controller cannot be reprogrammed to a different calibration. The
ECU can only be reprogrammed to a more recent version of that calibration.
5. If the flash process is interrupted or aborted, the flash should be restarted. 6. Due to the PCM /
TCM programming procedure, a DTC may be set in other ECUs within the vehicle. Some DTCs
may cause the MIL to
illuminate. From the "Home" screen select "System View". Then select "All DTCs". Press "Clear All
Stored DTCs" if there are any DTCs shown on the list.
7. When replacing a GPEC PCM for a vehicle that is equipped with a CVT, it is extremely important
that the PCM and TCM both have the latest
software calibrations.
8. Do not allow the battery charger to time out or the charging rate to climb above 13.5 volts during
the flash process. 9. The StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(R) diagnostic tools fully support Internet
connectivity and must be configured for your dealership's network.
For help on setting up your StarSCAN(R) / StarMOBILE(R) for the dealership's network, refer to the
StarSCAN(R) / StarMOBILE(R) Quick Start Networking Guide available on 'Dealer CONNECT >
Service > StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(R) Tools > Online Documentation' under the download
center.
10. The operating software in the StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(R) must be programmed with the
latest software release level. The software level
is visible in the blue header at the top of the StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(R) Desktop Client
screens. For instructions on how to update your scan tool, refer to the StarSCAN(R) /

3. Now replace and program the WCM. This will retain the Secret Key from the PCM/ECM back
into the new WCM. 4. With the scan tool, select Miscellaneous Functions, WCM/Wireless Control
Module. Then select the desired procedure and follow the display on
the scan tool.
5. If the vehicle is equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System program the Placard Pressure
Values into the WCM/SKREEM. 6. Ensure all the customer's keys have been programmed into the
new module if necessary.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly,
programming new keys will be necessary.
PROGRAMMING THE SKREEM
The SKIS Secret Key is an ID code that is unique to each SKREEM/WCM. This code is
programmed and stored in the SKREEM/WCM, the PCM/ECM, and each ignition key transponder
chip. When the PCM/ECM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret
Key into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in
the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED, ECM REPLACED, WCM REPLACED, or
GATEWAY REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL
MODULE/WCM menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Programming the PCM/ECM or SKREEM is done using a diagnostic scan tool and a PIN to
enter secure access mode. If three
attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an incorrect PIN, secure access mode will
be locked out for one hour. To exit this
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Service and Repair > Procedures > Page 3550
lockout mode, turn the ignition to the RUN position for one hour then enter the correct PIN. Be
certain that all accessories are turned OFF. Also monitor the battery state and connect a battery
charger if necessary.
NOTE: Before replacing the ECU 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 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.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When a ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM 3. Replace all ignition keys and program them
to the new SKIM.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When an ECM (Bosch) and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in
order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM (Bosch) 3. Replace all ignition keys and
program them to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING THE SKIM
CAUTION: Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle. 2. Connect the StarSCAN(R).
CAUTION: If the ECM/PCM and SKREEM/WCM are replaced at the same time, the ECM/PCM
MUST be programmed before the
SKREEM/WCM.
3. Select "ECU View". 4. Select "WCM Wireless Control Module". 5. Select "Miscellaneous
Functions". 6. Select WCM replaced. 7. Enter the PIN when prompted. 8. Verify the correct
information.
NOTE: If the ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time, all vehicle keys will need to be
replaced and programmed to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE/WCM menu item.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly,
programming new keys will be necessary.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret
Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
- PROGRAMMING NOT ATTEMPTED - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status
and there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- PROGRAMMING KEY FAILED (POSSIBLE USED KEY FROM WRONG VEHICLE) - SKREEM is
unable to program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is ineffective.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3588
HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
Chrysler 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 Chrysler
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. All switches,
components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and the key
removed from the ignition. 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

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.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
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.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3600
- 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.
- 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. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
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
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory 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.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3601
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.

Information Bus: Description and Operation Communication - Description
DESCRIPTION
The primary on-board communication network between the microprocessor-based electronic
control modules in this vehicle is the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus system. However, on
vehicles equipped with the optional two-mode Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) technology, Hybrid
Local Area Network (H-LAN) data bus and a D-PT data bus are used in addition to the CAN bus.
A data bus network minimizes redundant wiring connections and at the same time, reduces wire
harness complexity, sensor current loads and controller hardware, by allowing each sensing device
to be connected to only one module (also referred to as a node). Each node reads, then
broadcasts its sensor data over the bus for use by all other nodes requiring that data. Each node
ignores the messages on the bus that it cannot use.
The CAN, H-LAN and D-PT busses are each two-wire multiplex systems. Multiplexing is any
system that enables the transmission of multiple messages over a single channel or circuit. The
CAN bus is used for communication between all vehicle nodes, except on HEV vehicles. In HEV
vehicles, the microprocessors of the Traction Power Inverter Module (TPIM), the Transmission
Electro Hydraulic Control Module (TEHCM), the Transmission Control Module (TCM), the Battery
Pack Control Module (BPCM) and the Accessory Power Module (APM) use the H-LAN bus to
communicate with each other and with other electronic modules in the vehicle through a Hybrid
Gateway Module (HGM). The the TPIM has a direct D-PT bus connection over which it
communicates with the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) (also known as the Engine Control
Module/ECM). However, in addition to the CAN bus network, certain nodes may also be equipped
with a dedicated Local Interface Network (LIN), Serial Controller Interface (SCI) or a K-Line serial
link bus to provide direct communication between that node and certain sensor inputs.
There are actually three separate CAN bus systems used in the vehicle. They are designated: the
CAN-B, the CAN-C and the diagnostic CAN-C. The CAN-B and CAN-C systems provide on-board
communication between all of the nodes that are connected to them. The CAN-C and is the faster
of the two systems, providing near real-time communication (500 Kbps), but is less fault tolerant
than the CAN-B system. The H-LAN and D-PT busses also communicate at 500 Kbps. The CAN-C
is used typically for communications between more critical nodes, while the slower (83.3 Kbps), but
more fault tolerant CAN-B system is used for communications between less critical nodes. The
CAN-B fault tolerance comes from its ability to revert to a single wire communication mode if there
is a fault in the bus wiring.
The added speed of the CAN data bus network is many times faster than the previous data bus
systems. This added speed facilitates the addition of more electronic control modules or nodes and
the incorporation of many new electrical and electronic features in the vehicle.
The Diagnostic CAN-C bus is also capable of 500 Kbps communication, and is sometimes
informally referred to as the CAN-D system, to differentiate it from the other high speed CAN-C
bus. The Diagnostic CAN-C is used exclusively for the transmission of diagnostic information
between the Front Control Module (FCM) and a diagnostic scan tool connected to the
industry-standard 16-way Data Link Connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel on the
driver side of the vehicle.
All vehicles have a Central Gate way (CGW or FCMCGW) or hub module integral to the FCM that
connects to all three CAN buses. This gateway physically and electrically isolates the CAN buses
from each other and coordinates the bi-directional transfer of messages between them. Vehicles
equipped with the HEV technology also have a separate HGM secured to a bracket on the front of
the Transmission Auxiliary Oil Pump (TAOP) module located in the left rear corner of the engine
compartment. This separate gateway module isolates the H-LAN bus from the CAN bus and
coordinates the bi-directional transfer of messages between the LAN bus and the CAN bus
connected to all other nodes in the vehicle.

Information Bus: Description and Operation Communication - Operation
OPERATION
Either the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus or the hybrid bus system that integrates the
Hybrid Local Area Network (H-LAN) data bus with the CAN bus, allows all electronic modules or
nodes connected to either bus to share information with each other. Regardless of whether a
message originates from a module on the lower speed CAN-B bus or on the higher speed CAN-C,
CAN-D, H-LAN or the D-PT bus, the message structure and layout are similar. This allows the
Front Control Module/Central Gate way (FCM or FCMCGW) or the separate Hybrid Gateway
Module (HGM) to process and transfer messages between the busses. The FCM also stores a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for certain bus network faults.
All modules (also referred to as nodes) transmit and receive messages over one of these buses,
either the CAN, GM LAN or D-PT. Data exchange between nodes is achieved by serial
transmission of encoded data messages. Each node can both send and receive serial data
simultaneously. Each digital bit of a bus message is carried over the bus as a voltage differential
between the two bus circuits, when strung together, forms a message. Each node uses arbitration
to sort the message priority if two competing messages are attempting to broadcast at the same
time.
The voltage network used to transmit messages requires biasing and termination. Each module on
the CAN bus network provides its own biasing and termination. There are two types of nodes used
in the CAN-C, H-LAN or D-PT bus network. A dominant node has a 120 Ohm termination
resistance, while a non-dominant (or recessive) node has about a 2500 to 3000 Ohm (2.5 to 3.0
kilo ohm) termination resistance. The dominant nodes on the CAN-C bus are the FCM and the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The dominant nodes on the CAN Hybrid bus are the Accessory
Power Module (APM) integral to the Traction Power Inverter Module (TPIM), the FCM, the Hybrid
Gateway Module (HGM) and the PCM.
The termination resistance of two dominant nodes is combined in parallel to provide a total of about
60 Ohms. This resistance value may vary by application, depending upon the number of
non-dominant nodes on the CAN-C bus. On the CAN-D bus (or Diagnostic CAN-C), all of the 60
Ohm termination resistance is present in the Central Gate way (FCMCGW) or, with the CAN Hybrid
bus, in the FCM.
NOTE: All measurement of termination resistance is done with the vehicle battery disconnected.
NOTE: Termination resistance of a CAN-B node cannot be verified with a Digital Multi-Meter
(DMM) or Digital Volt-Ohm Meter (DVOM).
The transceiver of each CAN-B node connects to termination resistors internally. When the vehicle
battery is disconnected, the internal connections of all CAN-B node transceivers are switched
open, disconnecting the termination resistors. Therefore, the total bus resistance measured under
these conditions is extremely high or infinite, which does not accurately reflect the actual
termination resistance of the CAN-B bus.
The communication protocol being used for the CAN data bus is a non-proprietary open standard
adopted from the Bosch CAN specification 2.0b. The CAN-C is the faster of the two primary buses
in the CAN bus system, providing near real-time communication (500 Kbps). The H-LAN bus uses
a GMW3110 protocol.
The CAN, H-LAN and D-PT bus nodes are connected in parallel to the two-wire bus using a twisted
pair. These wires are wrapped around each other to provide shielding from unwanted
electromagnetic induction, thus preventing interference with the relatively low voltage signals being
carried through them. The twisted pairs have between 33 and 50 twists per meter (yard). While the
CAN bus is operating (active), one of the bus wires carries a higher voltage and is referred to as
the CAN High or CAN bus (+) wire, while the other bus wire carries a lower voltage and is referred
to as the CAN Low or CAN bus (-) wire. Refer to the CAN Bus Voltages table.

In order to minimize the potential effects of the Ignition-OFF Draw (IOD), the CAN-B network
employs a sleep strategy. However, a network sleep strategy should not be confused with the
sleep strategy of the individual nodes on that network, as they may differ. For example: The CAN-C
bus network awakes only when the ignition switch is in the ON or START positions; however, the
FCM, which is on the CAN-C bus, may still be awake with the ignition switch in the ACCESSORY
or UNLOCK positions. The integrated circuitry of an individual node may be capable of processing
certain sensor inputs and outputs without the need to utilize network resources.
The CAN-B bus network remains active until all nodes on that network are ready for sleep. This is
determined by the network using tokens in a manner similar to polling. When the last node that is
active on the network is ready for sleep and it has already received a token indicating that all other
nodes on the bus are ready for sleep, it broadcasts a bus sleep acknowledgment message that
causes the network to sleep. Once the CAN-B bus network is asleep, any node on the bus can
awaken it by transmitting a message on the network. The FCM keeps either the CAN-B or the
CAN-C bus awake for a timed interval after it receives a diagnostic message for that bus over the
diagnostic CAN-C bus.
In the CAN system available options are configured into the FCM at the assembly plant, but
additional options can be added in the field using the diagnostic scan tool. The configuration
settings are stored in non-volatile memory. The FCM also has two 64-bit registers, which track
each of the as-built and currently responding nodes on the CAN-B and CAN-C buses. The FCM
stores a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in one of two caches for any detected active or stored
faults in the order in which they occur. One cache stores powertrain (P-Code), chassis (C-Code)
and body (B-Code) DTCs, while the second cache is dedicated to storing network (U-Code) DTCs.
If there are intermittent or active faults in the CAN network, a diagnostic scan tool connected to the
Diagnostic CAN-C bus through the 16-way Data Link Connector (DLC), may only be able to
communicate with the FCM. To aid in CAN network diagnosis, the FCM provides the CAN-B and
CAN-C network status information to the scan tool using certain diagnostic signals. In addition, the
transceiver in each node on the CAN-C bus identifies a bus off hardware failure, while the
transceiver in each node on the CAN-B bus identifies a general bus hardware failure. The
transceivers for some CAN-B nodes also identifies certain failures for both CAN-B bus signal wires.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Knock Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
When the knock sensor detects a knock in one of the cylinders on the corresponding bank, it sends
an input signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). In response, the PCM retards ignition
timing for all cylinders by a scheduled amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric crystal 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 the knock sensor voltage signal as an input. 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 long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). The PCM, using
short term memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term
memory is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance,
possibly causing improper spark control.
Always use the specified torque when installing the knock sensors.

PCM Output
PCM OUTPUT
The ASD relay supplies battery voltage (12+ volts) to the fuel injectors and ignition coil(s). With
certain emissions packages it also supplies 12-volts to the oxygen sensor heating elements.
The ground circuit for the coil within the ASD relay is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM operates the ASD relay by switching its ground circuit on and off.
The ASD relay will be shut-down, meaning the 12-volt power supply to the ASD relay will be
de-activated by the PCM if:
- The ignition key is left in the ON position. This is if the engine has not been running for
approximately 1.8 seconds.
- There is a crankshaft position sensor signal to the PCM that is lower than pre-determined values.
ASD Sense - PCM Input
ASD SENSE - PCM INPUT
A 12 volt signal at this input indicates to the PCM that the ASD has been activated. The relay is
used to connect the oxygen sensor heater element, ignition coil and fuel injectors to 12 volt +
power supply.
This input is used only to sense that the ASD relay is energized. If the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) does not see 12 volts at this input when the ASD should be activated, it will set a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC).

Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Malfunction Indicator Lamp - Description
DESCRIPTION
A Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator
is located in the center of the speedometer, in the area to the left of the speedometer needle hub.
The MIL consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol icon for
Engine in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay
prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting
Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in
amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the
LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The MIL is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Malfunction Indicator Lamp - Operation
OPERATION
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has recorded a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for an On-Board
Diagnostics II (OBDII) emissions-related circuit or component malfunction. The MIL is controlled by
a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic
messages received by the cluster from the PCM over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The MIL Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit.
This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a battery
current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED is always off
when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only illuminates when it
is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument cluster turns on
the MIL for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the on position the indicator is illuminated for
about 15 seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the PCM.
- MIL Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic MIL lamp-on message from
the PCM, the indicator illuminates. The indicator can be flashed on and off, or illuminated solid, as
dictated by the PCM message. For some DTCs, if a problem does not recur, the PCM sends a
lamp-off message automatically. Other DTCs may require that a fault be repaired and the PCM be
reset before a lamp-off message is sent. For more information on the PCM, and the DTC set and
reset parameters, See: Emission Control Systems/Testing and Inspection.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-on or lamp-off messages from the PCM for
10 consecutive message cycles, the MIL is illuminated by the instrument cluster to indicate a loss
of bus communication. The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid
message is received from the PCM.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the MIL indicator turns on during the
bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the fuel and emissions system circuits and sensors to decide
whether the system is in good operating condition. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-on or
lamp-off message to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). For
further diagnosis of the MIL or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, See:
Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and
Inspection. If the CCN turns on the MIL after the bulb test, it may indicate that a malfunction has
occurred and that the fuel and emissions systems may require service.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the fuel and emissions systems, the PCM, the
CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to MIL operation. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Manifold Pressure/Vacuum Sensor: Description and Operation
OPERATION
The MAP sensor is used as an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). It contains 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 manifold absolute pressure (MAP) equals Barometric pressure, the pulse
width will be at maximum.
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. To operate the sensor, it is supplied a regulated 4.8 to 5.1
volts. Ground is provided through the low-noise, sensor return circuit at the PCM.
The MAP sensor input is the number one contributor to fuel injector 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 at a higher altitude, because the air density changes with
altitude. It will also help to correct for varying barometric pressure. Barometric pressure and altitude
have a direct inverse correlation; as altitude goes up, barometric goes down. At key-on, the PCM
powers up and looks at 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 voltage 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 a known good sensor.
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 (WOT), based upon Throttle Position Sensor (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 input to aid in calculating the following:
- Manifold pressure
- Barometric pressure
- Engine load
- Injector pulse-width
- Spark-advance programs
- Shift-point strategies (certain automatic transmissions only)
- Idle speed
- Decel fuel shutoff
The MAP sensor signal is provided from a single piezoresistive element located in the center of a
diaphragm. The element and diaphragm are both made of silicone. As manifold pressure changes,
the diaphragm moves causing the element to deflect, which stresses the silicone. When silicone is
exposed to stress, its resistance changes. As manifold vacuum increases, the MAP sensor input
voltage decreases proportionally. The sensor also contains electronics that condition the signal and
provide temperature compensation.
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;
meaning 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 approximately 29.92 in Hg. For every 100 feet of altitude,
barometric pressure drops 0.10 in. Hg. If a storm goes through, it can change barometric pressure
from what should be present for that altitude. You should know what the average pressure and
corresponding barometric pressure is for your area.

DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the optional Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system have a Hybrid Gateway
Module (HGM) (1) that is secured with three screws to the stamped steel Transmission Auxiliary Oil
Pump (TAOP) control module mounting bracket located on the left hydro form (frame rail) near the
back of the left front wheel housing within the engine compartment of the vehicle. Concealed within
a hollow in the center of the die cast aluminum HGM housing is the electronic circuitry of the HGM,
which includes a microprocessor and an electronic printed circuit board. A stamped metal cover
plate (2) is sealed and secured to the HGM housing with four screws to enclose and protect the
internal electronic circuitry and components.
Two molded plastic electrical connectors (3), one containing 24 terminal pins and the other
containing 12 terminal pins, exit the forward facing side of the HGM cover plate and are pointed
downward. These terminal pins connect the HGM to the vehicle electrical system through two
dedicated take outs and connectors of the headlamp and dash wire harness. The HGM housing
has integral mounting flanges on two sides with three mounting holes in each flange. The mounting
flange to the left of the connector receptacles is secured to the TAOP control module mounting
bracket with two screws, while the flange on the right side is secured to the bracket with only one
screw.
The HGM cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if damaged or ineffective, it must be replaced.

DESCRIPTION
The Front Control Module (FCM) is a micro controller based module located in the left front corner
of the engine compartment. The front control module mates to the power distribution center to form
the Integrated Power Module (IPM). The IPM connects directly to the battery and provides the
primary means of circuit protection and power distribution for all vehicle electrical systems. The
front control module controls power to some of these vehicle systems electrical and
electromechanical loads based on inputs received from hard wired switch inputs and data received
on the CAN bus circuit.

Module - Description > Page 3710
Body Control Module: Description and Operation Front Control Module - Operation
OPERATION
As messages are sent over the CAN bus circuit, the Front Control Module (FCM) reads these
messages and controls power to some of the vehicles electrical systems by completing the circuit
to ground (low side driver) or completing the circuit to 12 volt power (high side driver). The following
functions are controlled by the FCM:
- Front turn signals
- Stop, turn signal and tail lamps
- Front and rear hazard warning lamps
- Headlamps
- Fog Lamps
- Daytime running lamps - if equipped
- Horn
- Windshield and liftgate wiper and washer systems
- Transfer case shifting
- Trailer tow wiring output
- Rear window defroster power and timing
- Air conditioning condenser cooling fan
The FCM provides the following features for the above function:
- It provides a illuminated approach feature that turns the headlamps on when the vehicle is
unlocked with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
- It flashes lamps in response to turn signal, RKE and Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS)
inputs.
- It sounds the horn in response to RKE and VTSS inputs.
- It turns off the horn in the event of excessively long operation that could otherwise damage the
horn.
- It turns off the windshield washer motor after 10 seconds of continuous operation to protect the
motor.
- It minimizes voltage variations to the headlamps to extend bulb life and to equalize the light output
from the lamps, which might otherwise differ due to variations in wiring resistance.
- If the headlamps are left on, it automatically turns them off after eight minutes to protect the
battery from discharge.It monitors battery voltage and turns off non-essential functions such as the
fog lamps, rear window defogger, and heated seats if necessary to conserve battery power.
- It operates the high-beam headlamps at reduced intensity by pulse-width modulation of the power
supply to provide the daytime running lamps.
- It provides the variable delay intermittent windshield and liftgate wiper time delay features, and
the vehicle speed sensitive windshield wiper delay variation.
- It acts as a link between the CAN bus network for critical powertrain and anti-lock brake systems
and the network for body and interior modules.

Body Control Module: Description and Operation Gateway Module - Operation
OPERATION
The Hybrid Gateway Module (HGM) provides a communication interface between the electronic
control modules (nodes) in the vehicle, as well as with the diagnostic scan tool connected to the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus system and the nodes connected to the Hybrid Local Area
Network (H-LAN) data bus system. The HGM is the central gateway that processes and transfers
messages between the different bus systems. In addition, the HGM is Local Interface Network
(LIN) bus compatible. It receives a direct input over the LIN bus from a humidity sensor secured to
the inside rear view mirror mount on the inside of the windshield glass, which it then transmits over
the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
The microprocessor-based HGM also provides input and output circuitry that responds to both
digital and analog inputs and provides electronically controlled higher current load outputs through
lower current relay drivers. The HGM uses On-Board Diagnostics (OBD). If the HGM detects a
monitored system fault, it sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) that can be retrieved with a
diagnostic scan tool through the 16-way data link connector located on the driver side lower edge
of the instrument panel. The HGM connects directly to a fused battery current input and to ground,
so that it remains capable of operating, regardless of the ignition switch position.
The hardwired inputs and outputs for the HGM may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic
tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. However, conventional
diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the HGM, the electronic controls or
communication between other modules and devices that provide features of the Hybrid Electric
Vehicle (HEV) control system. The most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose the
HGM, the electronic controls and communication related to HGM operation, requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

- Verification of complaint
- Verification of any related symptoms
- Symptom analysis
- Problem isolation
- Repair of isolated problem
- Verification of proper operation
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT CURRENT VEHICLE CONDITION, REPAIR HISTORY, AND TECHNICAL
SERVICE BULLETINS (TSBs)
- Verify there are no outward signs of vehicle damage that could impact the proper operation of the
theft or security system. Check for aftermarket vehicle accessories that may have been installed
improperly or could interfere with the system
- Check the vehicle repair history for repairs that may relate to the current condition.
- Perform a check of current Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) for the system related to the
customer concern. If a TSB applies, follow the procedure outlined in the TSB.
DIAGNOSE ONLY THOSE FAILURES THAT ARE ACTIVE AND CAN BE REPRODUCED
- Check the control module central to the subsystem that is exhibiting the condition for active
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
- For an intermittent failure that is not current at the time of vehicle inspection, refer to the
WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE INTERMITTENT TEST See: Wireless Control Module (WCM)
Intermittent Condition Test and document the event on the repair order.

POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The PCM (2) is attached to the right-front inner fender (1) located in the engine compartment.
Modes of Operation
MODES OF OPERATION
As input signals to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) change, the PCM adjusts its response to
the output devices.
The PCM will operate in two different modes: Open Loop and Closed Loop.
During Open Loop modes, the PCM receives input signals and responds only according to preset
PCM programming. Input from the oxygen (O2S) sensors is not monitored during Open Loop
modes.
During Closed Loop modes, the PCM will monitor the oxygen (O2S) sensors input. This input
indicates to the PCM whether or not the calculated injector pulse width results in the ideal air-fuel
ratio. This ratio is 14.7 parts air-to-1 part fuel. By monitoring the exhaust oxygen content through
the O2S sensor, the PCM can fine tune the injector pulse width. This is done to achieve optimum
fuel economy combined with low emission engine performance.
The fuel injection system has the following modes of operation:
- Ignition switch ON
- Engine start-up (crank)
- Engine warm-up
- Idle
- Cruise
- Acceleration
- Deceleration
- Wide open throttle (WOT)
- Ignition switch OFF
The ignition switch On, engine start-up (crank), engine warm-up, acceleration, deceleration and
wide open throttle modes are Open Loop modes. The idle and cruise modes, (with the engine at
operating temperature) are Closed Loop modes.
IGNITION SWITCH (KEY-ON) MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. When the fuel system is activated by the ignition switch, the following
actions occur:
- The PCM pre-positions the idle air control (IAC) motor.

position sensor signal within 3 seconds of cranking the engine, it will shut down the fuel injection
system.
The fuel pump is activated by the PCM through the fuel pump relay.
Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off.

the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off.
- The PCM adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor and adjusts ignition
timing.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This is done if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
- When engine has reached operating temperature, the PCM will begin monitoring O2S sensor
input. The system will then leave the warm-up mode and go into closed loop operation.
IDLE MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is a Closed Loop mode. At idle speed, the PCM
receives inputs from:
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)

- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then adjust
the injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual injector on and off.
- The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and adjusts air-fuel ratio. It also adjusts engine idle
speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil on and off.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This happens if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
ACCELERATION MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The PCM recognizes an abrupt increase in throttle position or MAP
pressure as a demand for increased engine output and vehicle acceleration. The PCM increases
injector pulse width in response to increased throttle opening.

Powertrain Control Module - Description > Page 3738
If the vehicle is under hard deceleration with the proper rpm and closed throttle conditions, the
PCM will ignore the oxygen sensor input signal. The PCM will enter a fuel cut-off strategy in which
it will not supply a ground to the injectors. If a hard deceleration does not exist, the PCM will
determine the proper injector pulse width and continue injection.
Based on the above inputs, the PCM will adjust engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC)
motor.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil on and off.

the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off. The PCM ignores the oxygen sensor input signal and provides a predetermined
amount of additional fuel. This is done by adjusting injector pulse width.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil on and off.

PCM
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The PCM is a pre-programmed, microprocessor digital computer. It regulates ignition timing,
air-fuel ratio, emission control devices, charging system, certain transmission features, speed
control, air conditioning compressor clutch engagement and idle speed. The PCM can adapt its
programming to meet changing operating conditions.
The PCM receives input signals from various switches and sensors. Based on these inputs, the
PCM regulates various engine and vehicle operations through different system components. These
components are referred to as Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Outputs. The sensors and
switches that provide inputs to the PCM are considered Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Inputs.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing based upon inputs it receives from sensors that react to: engine
rpm, manifold absolute pressure, engine coolant temperature, throttle position, transmission gear
selection (automatic transmission), vehicle speed and the brake switch.
The PCM adjusts idle speed based on inputs it receives from sensors that react to: throttle position,
vehicle speed, transmission gear selection, engine coolant temperature and from inputs it receives
from the air conditioning clutch switch and brake switch.

LEARN A SMOOTH 1ST NEUTRAL TO DRIVE SHIFT
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Service and Repair > Procedures >
Page 3747
Perform this procedure only if the complaint is for a delayed or harsh shift the first time the
transmission is put into gear after the vehicle is allowed to set with the engine not running for at
least 10 minutes. Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the 1st N-D UD CVI.
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be between 27-43° C (80-110° F).
1. Start the engine only when the engine and ignition have been off for at least ten (10) minutes. 2.
With the vehicle at a stop and the service brake applied, record the 1st N-D UD CVI while
performing a Neutral to Drive shift. The 1st N-D UD
CVI accounts for air entrapment in the UD clutch that may occur after the engine has been off for a
period of time.
3. Repeat 1 and 2 until the recorded 1st N-D UD CVI value stabilizes.
NOTE: It is important that this procedure be performed when the transmission temperature is
between 27-43° C (80-110° F). If this
procedure takes too long to complete fully for the allowed transmission oil temperature, the vehicle
may be returned to the customer with an explanation that the shift will improve daily during normal
vehicle usage. The TCM also learns at higher oil temperatures, but these values (line pressure
correction values) are not available for viewing on the scan tool.
LEARN A SMOOTH NEUTRAL TO DRIVE GARAGE SHIFT
Perform this procedure if the complaint is for a delayed or harsh shift when the transmission is put
into gear after the vehicle has had its first shift. Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the
Norm N-D UD CVI.
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be between 27-43° C (80-110° F) to learn the UD
CVI. Additional learning occurs at
temperatures as low as -18° C (0° F) and as high as 93° C (200° F). This procedure may be
performed at any temperature that experiences poor shift quality. Although the UD CVI may not
change, shift quality should improve.
1. Start the vehicle engine and shift to drive. 2. Move the vehicle forward to a speed of at least 16
km/h (10 MPH) and come to a stop. This ensures no air is present in the UD hydraulic circuit. 3.
Perform repeated N-D shifts at a stop while pausing in Neutral for at least 2-3 seconds and monitor
Norm N-D UD CVI volume until the value
stabilizes. The value will change during the N-D shift. This is normal since the UD value is different
for the N-D shift then the normal value shown which is used for 4-3 coastdown and kick downs.
Perform repeated shifts in this temperature range until the Norm N-D UD CVI value stabilizes and
the N-D shifts become smooth.
LEARN THE 1ST 2-3 SHIFT AFTER A RESTART OR SHIFT TO REVERSE
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the 1st 2-3 shift OD CVI.
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 27° C (80° F).
1. With the vehicle engine running, select reverse gear for over 2 seconds. 2. Shift the transmission
to Drive and accelerate the vehicle from a stop at a steady 15 degree throttle opening and perform
a 2-3 shift while noting
the 1st 2-3 OD CVI.
3. Repeat 1 and 2 until the 1st 2-3 upshift becomes smooth and the 1st 2-3 OD CVI stabilizes.
LEARN A SMOOTH 2-3 AND 3-4 UPSHIFT
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 43° C (110° F).
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the OD and 4C CVI's.
1. Accelerate the vehicle from a stop at a steady 15 degree throttle opening and perform multiple
1-2, 2-3, and 3-4 upshifts. The 2nd 2-3 shift
following a restart or shift to reverse will be shown during the shift as a value between the 1st 2-3
OD CVI and the normal OD CVI. Updates to the normal OD CVI will occur after the 2nd shift into
3rd gear, following a restart or shift to reverse.
2. Repeat 1 until the 2-3 and 3-4 shifts become smooth and the OD and 4C CVI become stable.
LEARN A SMOOTH 4-3 COASTDOWN AND PART THROTTLE 4-3 KICKDOWN
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 43° C (110° F).
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the UD shift volume.
1. At a vehicle speed between 64-97 km/h (40-60 MPH), perform repeated 4-3 kickdown shifts. 2.
Repeat 1 until the UD volume becomes somewhat stable and the shift becomes smooth.
LEARN A SMOOTH 1-2 UPSHIFT AND 3-2 KICKDOWN
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the 2C shift volume.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Service and Repair > Procedures >
Page 3748
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 43° C (110° F).
1. With a vehicle speed below 48 km/h (30 MPH) and the transmission in 3rd gear, perform multiple
3-2 kick downs. 2. Repeat 1 until the 3-2 kick downs become smooth and the 2C CVI becomes
stable.
LEARN A SMOOTH MANUAL 2-1 PULLDOWN SHIFT AS WELL AS A NEUTRAL TO REVERSE
SHIFT
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 43° C (110° F).
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the LR volume.
1. With the vehicle speed around 40-48 km/h (25-30 MPH) in Manual 2nd, perform manual
pulldowns to Low or 1st gear at closed throttle. 2. Repeat 1 until the LR CVI becomes stable and
the manual 2-1 becomes smooth.
LEARN A SMOOTH NEUTRAL TO REVERSE SHIFT
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 43° C (110° F).
1. With the vehicle at a stop, perform Neutral to Reverse shifts until the shift is smooth. An
unlearned Neutral to Reverse shift may be harsh or
exhibit a double bump.
2. If any of the shifts are still not smooth after the clutch volume stabilizes, an internal transmission
problem may be present.
LEARN A SMOOTH 4-5 UPSHIFT
NOTE: The transmission oil temperature must be above 43° C (110° F).
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the Alt 2C CVI.
1. Accelerate the vehicle through 88 km/h (55 mph) at a steady 10-15 degree throttle opening and
perform multiple 4-5 upshifts. 2. Repeat 1 until the 4-5 shift become smooth and the Alt 2C CVI
become stable. There is a separate 2C volume used and learned for 4-5 shifts,
2CA. It is independent of the 2C CVI learned on 3-2 kick downs.

1. StarMOBILE(R) Stand-alone Diagnostic Mode is an efficient way to flash ECUs without having
direct access to a network connection. It involves
first copying the flash file to the StarMOBILE(R) device which DOES require a network connection.
Once the file has been copied to the StarMOBILE(R) device, it can be used in a Stand-alone mode
to flash the ECU WITHOUT a network connection.
2. To use the StarMOBILE(R) in Pass-Through Mode requires that your StarMOBILE(R) is
connected to the dealerships network via a wired or
wireless connection. For more information on how to use the StarMOBILE in Pass-Through Mode
see the StarMOBILE(R) training tutorials available on 'Dealer CONNECT > Service > StarSCAN(R)
and StarMOBILE(R) Tools > Training Aids' link under the 'Training Aids' link.
3. StarMOBILE(R) does not need to be connected to a vehicle when retrieving a flash file for
Stand-alone Mode. 4. Extreme care must be taken when programming a calibration into a generic
PCM. Do not randomly select a calibration. Once a calibration is
selected and programmed, the controller cannot be reprogrammed to a different calibration. The
ECU can only be reprogrammed to a more recent version of that calibration.
5. If the flash process is interrupted or aborted, the flash should be restarted. 6. Due to the PCM /
TCM programming procedure, a DTC may be set in other ECUs within the vehicle. Some DTCs
may cause the MIL to
illuminate. From the "Home" screen select "System View". Then select "All DTCs". Press "Clear All
Stored DTCs" if there are any DTCs shown on the list.
7. When replacing a GPEC PCM for a vehicle that is equipped with a CVT, it is extremely important
that the PCM and TCM both have the latest
software calibrations.
8. Do not allow the battery charger to time out or the charging rate to climb above 13.5 volts during
the flash process. 9. The StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(R) diagnostic tools fully support Internet
connectivity and must be configured for your dealership's network.
For help on setting up your StarSCAN(R) / StarMOBILE(R) for the dealership's network, refer to the
StarSCAN(R) / StarMOBILE(R) Quick Start Networking Guide available on 'Dealer CONNECT >
Service > StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(R) Tools > Online Documentation' under the download
center.
10. The operating software in the StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(R) must be programmed with the
latest software release level. The software level
is visible in the blue header at the top of the StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(R) Desktop Client
screens. For instructions on how to update your scan tool, refer to the StarSCAN(R) /
StarMOBILE(R) Software Update guide available on 'Dealer CONNECT > Service > StarSCAN(R)
and StarMOBILE(R) Tools > Online Documentation' under the download center.

SKREEM Programming
SKREEM PROGRAMMING
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a gasoline engine, or an Engine Control Module
(ECM) for a diesel engine and the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as the
Wireless Control Module/WCM) on vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
NOTE: If the PCM and the SKREEM are replaced at the same time, program the PCM VIN into the
PCM first.
1. If applicable first replace the PCM/ECM with the original WCM still connected to the vehicle. 2.
Using the appropriate service information program the new PCM/ECM. (This will ensure the Secret
Key Transfer from the original WCM into the
new PCM/ECM).
3. Now replace and program the WCM. This will retain the Secret Key from the PCM/ECM back
into the new WCM. 4. With the scan tool, select Miscellaneous Functions, WCM/Wireless Control
Module. Then select the desired procedure and follow the display on
the scan tool.
5. If the vehicle is equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System program the Placard Pressure
Values into the WCM/SKREEM. 6. Ensure all the customer's keys have been programmed into the
new module if necessary.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly,
programming new keys will be necessary.
PROGRAMMING THE SKREEM
The SKIS Secret Key is an ID code that is unique to each SKREEM/WCM. This code is
programmed and stored in the SKREEM/WCM, the PCM/ECM, and each ignition key transponder
chip. When the PCM/ECM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret
Key into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in
the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED, ECM REPLACED, WCM REPLACED, or
GATEWAY REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL
MODULE/WCM menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Programming the PCM/ECM or SKREEM is done using a diagnostic scan tool and a PIN to
enter secure access mode. If three
attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an incorrect PIN, secure access mode will
be locked out for one hour. To exit this
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))

Page 3756
lockout mode, turn the ignition to the RUN position for one hour then enter the correct PIN. Be
certain that all accessories are turned OFF. Also monitor the battery state and connect a battery
charger if necessary.
NOTE: Before replacing the ECU 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 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.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When a ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM 3. Replace all ignition keys and program them
to the new SKIM.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When an ECM (Bosch) and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in
order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM (Bosch) 3. Replace all ignition keys and
program them to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING THE SKIM
CAUTION: Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle. 2. Connect the StarSCAN(R).
CAUTION: If the ECM/PCM and SKREEM/WCM are replaced at the same time, the ECM/PCM
MUST be programmed before the
SKREEM/WCM.
3. Select "ECU View". 4. Select "WCM Wireless Control Module". 5. Select "Miscellaneous
Functions". 6. Select WCM replaced. 7. Enter the PIN when prompted. 8. Verify the correct
information.
NOTE: If the ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time, all vehicle keys will need to be
replaced and programmed to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE/WCM menu item.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly,
programming new keys will be necessary.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret
Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
- PROGRAMMING NOT ATTEMPTED - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status
and there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- PROGRAMMING KEY FAILED (POSSIBLE USED KEY FROM WRONG VEHICLE) - SKREEM is
unable to program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is ineffective.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.

PCM Output
PCM OUTPUT
The ASD relay supplies battery voltage (12+ volts) to the fuel injectors and ignition coil(s). With
certain emissions packages it also supplies 12-volts to the oxygen sensor heating elements.
The ground circuit for the coil within the ASD relay is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM operates the ASD relay by switching its ground circuit on and off.
The ASD relay will be shut-down, meaning the 12-volt power supply to the ASD relay will be
de-activated by the PCM if:
- The ignition key is left in the ON position. This is if the engine has not been running for
approximately 1.8 seconds.
- There is a crankshaft position sensor signal to the PCM that is lower than pre-determined values.
ASD Sense - PCM Input
ASD SENSE - PCM INPUT
A 12 volt signal at this input indicates to the PCM that the ASD has been activated. The relay is
used to connect the oxygen sensor heater element, ignition coil and fuel injectors to 12 volt +
power supply.
This input is used only to sense that the ASD relay is energized. If the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) does not see 12 volts at this input when the ASD should be activated, it will set a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC).

The CMP sensor is used in conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to differentiate between
fuel injection and spark events. It is also used to synchronize the fuel injectors with their respective
cylinders. The sensor generates electrical pulses. These pulses (signals) are sent to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). The PCM will then determine crankshaft position from both the camshaft
position sensor and crankshaft position sensor.
The tonewheel is located at the front of the camshaft (2). As the tonewheel rotates, notches (3)
pass through the sync signal generator.
When the cam gear is rotating, the sensor will detect the notches. Input voltage from the sensor to
the PCM will then switch from a low (approximately 0.3 volts) to a high (approximately 5 volts).
When the sensor detects a notch has passed, the input voltage switches back low to approximately
0.3 volts.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
5.7L
Engine speed and crankshaft position are provided through the crankshaft position sensor. The
sensor generates pulses that are the input sent to the powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM
interprets the sensor input to determine the crankshaft position. The PCM then uses this position,
along with other inputs, to determine injector sequence and ignition timing.
The sensor is a hall effect device combined with an internal magnet. It is also sensitive to steel
within a certain distance from it.
On the 5.7L V-8 engine, a tonewheel is bolted to the engine crankshaft. This tonewheel has sets of
notches (3) at its outer edge.
The notches cause a pulse to be generated when they pass under the sensor. The pulses are the
input to the PCM.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation Intake Air Temperature Sensor Description
DESCRIPTION
The 2-wire Intake Manifold Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is installed in the intake manifold with the
sensor element extending into the air stream.
The IAT sensor is a two-wire Negative Thermal Coefficient (NTC) sensor. Meaning, as intake
manifold temperature increases, resistance (voltage) in the sensor decreases. As temperature
decreases, resistance (voltage) in the sensor increases.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation Intake Air Temperature Sensor Operation
OPERATION
The IAT sensor provides an input voltage to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) indicating the
density of the air entering the intake manifold based upon intake manifold temperature. At key-on,
a 5-volt power circuit is supplied to the sensor from the PCM. The sensor is grounded at the PCM
through a low-noise, sensor-return circuit.
The PCM uses this input to calculate the following:
- Injector pulse-width
- Adjustment of spark timing (to help prevent spark knock with high intake manifold air-charge
temperatures)
The resistance values of the IAT sensor is the same as for the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
sensor.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Knock Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
When the knock sensor detects a knock in one of the cylinders on the corresponding bank, it sends
an input signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). In response, the PCM retards ignition
timing for all cylinders by a scheduled amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric crystal 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 the knock sensor voltage signal as an input. 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 long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). The PCM, using
short term memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term
memory is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance,
possibly causing improper spark control.
Always use the specified torque when installing the knock sensors.

Manifold Pressure/Vacuum Sensor: Description and Operation
OPERATION
The MAP sensor is used as an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). It contains 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 manifold absolute pressure (MAP) equals Barometric pressure, the pulse
width will be at maximum.
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. To operate the sensor, it is supplied a regulated 4.8 to 5.1
volts. Ground is provided through the low-noise, sensor return circuit at the PCM.
The MAP sensor input is the number one contributor to fuel injector 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 at a higher altitude, because the air density changes with
altitude. It will also help to correct for varying barometric pressure. Barometric pressure and altitude
have a direct inverse correlation; as altitude goes up, barometric goes down. At key-on, the PCM
powers up and looks at 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 voltage 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 a known good sensor.
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 (WOT), based upon Throttle Position Sensor (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 input to aid in calculating the following:
- Manifold pressure
- Barometric pressure
- Engine load
- Injector pulse-width
- Spark-advance programs
- Shift-point strategies (certain automatic transmissions only)
- Idle speed
- Decel fuel shutoff
The MAP sensor signal is provided from a single piezoresistive element located in the center of a
diaphragm. The element and diaphragm are both made of silicone. As manifold pressure changes,
the diaphragm moves causing the element to deflect, which stresses the silicone. When silicone is
exposed to stress, its resistance changes. As manifold vacuum increases, the MAP sensor input
voltage decreases proportionally. The sensor also contains electronics that condition the signal and
provide temperature compensation.
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;
meaning 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 approximately 29.92 in Hg. For every 100 feet of altitude,
barometric pressure drops 0.10 in. Hg. If a storm goes through, it can change barometric pressure
from what should be present for that altitude. You should know what the average pressure and
corresponding barometric pressure is for your area.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation Transmission Range Sensor Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
There are many possible combinations of open and closed switches (codes). This results in many
codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes. An invalid code will result in a
DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based on pressure switch data. This
allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

Valve Deactivation Solenoid: Description and Operation MDS System - Description
DESCRIPTION
The Multiple Displacement System (MDS) provides cylinder deactivation during steady-speed,
low-acceleration and shallow grade climbing conditions to increase fuel economy.
MDS can provide a 5-20 percent fuel economy benefit when operating in four-cylinder mode,
depending on driving habits and vehicle usage. For EPA rating purposes, fuel economy is 8-15
percent higher than if the engine was operating on eight cylinders at all times.
MDS is integrated into the basic engine architecture, requiring a minimum of additional parts - four
additional solenoids, an oil temperature sensor and a wire harness. Eight unique valve lifters and a
modified camshaft are also required.

Valve Deactivation Solenoid: Description and Operation MDS System - Operation
OPERATION
The Multiple Displacement System (MDS) provides cylinder deactivation during steady speed, low
acceleration and shallow grade climbing conditions to increase fuel economy. Both four and eight
cylinder configurations have even firing intervals provide smooth operation. Two cylinders on each
bank are active when the engine is in four-cylinder mode - every other cylinder in the firing order.
All of the cylinders that are deactivated have unique hydraulic valve lifters that collapse when
deactivated to prevent the valves from opening. Engine oil pressure is used to activate and
deactivate the valves. It is delivered through special oil passages drilled into the cylinder block.
Solenoid valves control the flow. When activated, pressurized oil pushes a latching pin on each
valve lifter, which then becomes a "lost motion" link. Its base follows the camshaft, but its top
remains stationary, held in place against the pushrod by light spring pressure but unable to move
because of the much higher force of the valve spring.
NOTE: It is critical to use the recommended oil viscosity in 5.7L engines that use MDS.
Deactivation occurs during the compression stroke of each cylinder, after air and fuel enter the
cylinder. Ignition then occurs, but the combustion products remain trapped in the cylinder under
high pressure, because the valves no longer open. No air enters or leaves. During subsequent
piston strokes, this high-pressure gas is repeatedly compressed and expanded like an air spring,
but fuel is not injected.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation Variable Valve Timing Assembly Description
DESCRIPTION
The 5.7L Eagle engine is equipped with Variable Cam Timing (VCT). This system advances and/or
retards the camshaft timing to improve engine performance, mid-range torque, idle quality, fuel
economy, and reduce emissions. The VCT assembly is sometimes referred to as a camshaft
phaser.
CAUTION: Never attempt to disassemble the camshaft phaser, severe engine damage could
result.
The VCT assembly consists of the camshaft sprocket and a timing phaser. The VCT phaser
assembly bolts to the camshaft and is serviced as an assembly.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation Variable Valve Timing Assembly Operation
OPERATION
The Variable Cam Timing (VCT) assembly is actuated with engine oil pressure. The oil flow to the
VCT assemblies are controlled by an Oil Control Valve (OCV). The OCV consist of a Pulse Width
Modulated (PWM) solenoid and a spool valve. The PCM actuates the OCV to control oil flow
through the spool valve into the VCT assemblies. The VCT assembly consists of a rotor, stator,
and sprocket. The stator is connected to the timing chain through the sprocket. The rotor is
connected to the camshaft. Oil flow in to the VCT assembly rotates the rotor with respect to the
stator, thus rotating the exhaust camshaft with respect to the timing chain and intake camshaft. An
infinitely variable cam timing position can be achieved within the limits of the hardware. The CMP
monitors the position of the camshaft with respect to the crankshaft and provides feedback to the
PCM.
CAUTION: Never attempt to disassemble the camshaft phaser, severe engine damage could
result.

Variable Valve Timing Solenoid: Description and Operation Oil Intake Control Valve - Operation
OPERATION
The Variable Valve Timing (VVT) assembly is actuated with engine oil pressure. The oil flow to the
VVT assemblies are controlled by an Oil Control Valve (OCV). The OCV consist of a Pulse Width
Modulated (PWM) solenoid and a spool valve. The PCM actuates the OCV to control oil flow
through the spool valve into the VVT assemblies. The VVT assembly consists of a rotor, stator, and
sprocket. The stator is connected to the timing chain through the sprocket. The rotor is connected
to the camshaft. Oil flow in to the VVT assembly rotates the rotor with respect to the stator, thus
rotating the exhaust camshaft with respect to the timing chain and intake camshaft. An infinitely
variable valve timing position can be achieved within the limits of the hardware. The CMP monitors
the position of the camshaft with respect to the crankshaft and provides feedback to the PCM.

Canister Purge Solenoid: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION - HEV
The fuel tank isolation valve is used to isolate the fuel tank from the rest of the evaporative
emissions system and can be commanded to close or remain open under a variety of
circumstances or driving conditions. The fuel tank isolation valve has an Automatic Shutdown
(ASD) relay power feed and is controlled by a PWM ground signal from the PCM. During periods of
operation when the engine is not running (electric-only mode), there is potential for large quantities
of fuel vapor to be generated in the fuel tank that may exceed the capacity of the charcoal canister.
The isolation valve is used to prevent fuel vapors from escaping the system. The isolation valve
blocks the vapor path from the tank to the charcoal canister, thereby keeping the vapors in the
tank.

NOTE:
This bulletin applies to all vehicles equipped with a gasoline engine.
DISCUSSION:
Customer may report that the vehicle is hard to fill with fuel or that the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
repeatedly while trying to fill vehicle.
This customer complaint can occur due to a number of different causes. The fuel tank is the least
likely cause of this condition. The following Diagnostic procedure can be used to diagnose the
issues.
DIAGNOSIS:

NOTE:
This bulletin applies to all vehicles equipped with a gasoline engine.
DISCUSSION:
Customer may report that the vehicle is hard to fill with fuel or that the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
repeatedly while trying to fill vehicle.
This customer complaint can occur due to a number of different causes. The fuel tank is the least
likely cause of this condition. The following Diagnostic procedure can be used to diagnose the
issues.
DIAGNOSIS:
1. Is the vehicle a LX/LE/LC/L2?
a. Yes >> proceed to Step # 2
b. No >> proceed to Step # 4
2. Idle the vehicle 60 to 90 seconds upon stopping.
3. Does tank refill properly?
a. No >> proceed to Step # 4
b. Yes >> Inform the customer to idle the vehicle for 60 to 90 seconds upon stopping if vehicle was
driven aggressively. This is due to the fact that
on the LX/LE/LC/L2 the fuel tank is a unique saddle tank design and needs 30 to 60 seconds while
the engine is running to level the fuel in both half's of the fuel tank. Allowing the vehicle to idle for
this amount of time will let the fuel pump transfer fuel to the left side tank, opening the control valve
and allowing normal fuel filling.
4. Disconnect the vapor recirculation tube at the fuel tank.
5. Attempt to refill fuel tank.
6. Does tank refill properly?
a. Yes >> Proceed to Step # 7
b. No >> Proceed to Step # 11.
7. Reconnect the vapor recirculation tube at the fuel tank.

Leak Detector: Description and Operation
OPERATION
SYSTEM
The ESIM (Evaporative System Integrity Monitor) is very similar to the NVLD. However, the design
of the ESIM has been simplified and unlike the NVLD the ESIM does not require a solenoid. The
ESIM mounts directly to the canister, eliminating the need for a mounting bracket. It is critical that
the ESIM is mounted vertically. On vehicles where the canister is mounted on an angle, the ESIM
requires an adaptor to maintain a vertical position. When the ESIM is installed vertically, the
electrical connector is in the 3 o'clock position.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Emission Control Systems > Evaporative Emissions System > Leak
Detector, Evaporative System > Component Information > Locations > Page 4056
The ESIM assembly consists of a housing, a small weight and a large weight that serve as check
valves, a diaphragm, a switch and a cover. There is one large weight and one small weight check
valve in the ESIM assembly. A seal is attached at the end of each weighted check valve. The large
weight check valve seals for pressure. The small weight check valve seals for vacuum. The
weighted check valves are contained within the ESIM housing.
CUT AWAY OF MODULE
The ESIM (Evaporative System Integrity Monitor), while physically different than the NVLD system,
performs the same basic function as the NVLD does - controlling evaporative emissions. The ESIM
has been simplified because the solenoid used on the NVLD is not used on the ESIM.
The ESIM consists of housing, two check valves (sometimes referred to as weights), a diaphragm,
a switch and a cover. The larger check valve seals for pressure and the smaller one seals for
vacuum.
During refueling, pressure is built up in the evaporative system. When pressure reaches
approximately.5 inches of water, the large check valve unseats and pressure vents to the fresh air
filter.
Conversely, when the system cools, and the resulting vacuum lifts the small check valve from its
seat and allows fresh air to enter the system and relieves the vacuum condition. When a calibrated
amount of vacuum is achieved in the evaporative system, the diaphragm is pulled inward, pushing
on the spring and closing the contacts.
The ESIM conducts test on the evaporative system as follows: An engine off, non-intrusive test for
small leaks and an engine running, intrusive test for medium/large leaks.
The ESIM weights seal the evap. system during engine off conditions. If the evap. system is
sealed, it will be pulled into a vacuum, either due to the cool down from operating temperature or
diurnal ambient temperature cycling. When the vacuum in the system exceeds about 1" H20, the
vacuum switch closes. The switch closure sends a signal to the PCM. In order to pass the
non-intrusive small leak test, the ESIM switch must close within a calculated amount of time and
within a specified amount of key-off events.
If the ESIM switch does not close as specified, the test is considered inconclusive and the intrusive
engine running test will be run during the next key-on cycle. This intrusive test will run on the next
cold engine running condition.
Conditions for running the intrusive test are:
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Emission Control Systems > Evaporative Emissions System > Leak
Detector, Evaporative System > Component Information > Locations > Page 4057
- After the vehicle is started, the engine coolant temperature must be within 50°F (10°C) of ambient
to indicate a cold start.
- The fuel level must be between 12% and 88%.
- The engine must be in closed loop.
- Manifold vacuum must be greater than a minimum specified value.
- Ambient temperature must be between 39°F and 98°F (4°C and 37°C) and the elevation level
must be below 8500 feet (2591 meters).
The test is accomplished by the PCM activating the purge solenoid to create a vacuum in the
evaporative system. The PCM then measures the amount of time it takes for the vacuum to
dissipate. This is known as the vacuum decay method. If the switch opens quickly a large leak is
recorded. If the switch opens after a predetermined amount of time, then the small leak matures. If
the switch does not close, then a general evaporative failure is recorded. The purge monitor tests
the integrity of the hose attached between the purge valve and throttle body/intake. The purge
monitor is a two stage test and it runs only after the evaporative system passes the small leak test.
Even when all of the thresholds are met, a small leak won't be recorded until after the
medium/large leak monitor has been run. This is accomplished by the PCM activating the purge
solenoid to create a vacuum in the evaporative system. The PCM then measures the amount of
time it takes for the vacuum to dissipate. This is known as the vacuum decay method. If the switch
opens quickly a large leak is recorded. If the switch opens after a predetermined amount of time,
then the small leak matures. If the medium/large leak test runs and the ESIM switch doesn't close,
a general evaporative test is run. The purge solenoid is activated for approximately 10 seconds,
increasing the amount of vacuum in the system. If the ESIM switch closes after the extended purge
activation, a large leak fault is generated. If the switch doesn't close, a general evaporative system
fault is generated.
The purge monitor tests the integrity of the hose attached between the purge valve and throttle
body/intake. The purge monitor is a two stage test and it runs only after the evaporative system
passes the small leak test.
Stage one of the purge monitor is non-intrusive. The PCM monitors the purge vapor ratio. If the
ratio is above a calibrated specification, the monitor passes. Stage two is an intrusive test and it
runs only if stage one fails. During the stage two test, the PCM commands the purge solenoid to
flow at a specified rate to force the purge vapor ratio to update. The vapor ratio is compared to a
calibrated specification and if it is less than specified, a one-trip failure is recorded.
The ESIM switch stuck closed monitor checks to see if the switch is stuck closed. This is a power
down test that runs at key-off; when the PCM sees 0 rpm's, the purge solenoid is energized for a
maximum of 30 seconds, venting any vacuum trapped in the evaporative system. If the switch
opens or was open before the test began, the monitor passes. If the switch doesn't open, the
monitor fails. This is a two-trip MIL. The star scan tool can be used to force the ESIM switch stick
closed monitor to run.
The PCM also uses the ESIM to detect a loose or missing gas cap. The PCM controller looks for a
change in the fuel level (25% minimum) and then gas cap is loose or missing. If a medium/large
leak is detected, a loose gas cap light illuminates and a pending one-trip fault code is set. On the
PCM, this is a three-trip fault before the code matures

Refueling Vapor Recovery System: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The ORVR (On-Board Refueling Vapor Recovery) system consists of a unique fuel tank, flow
management valve, fluid control valve, one-way check valve and vapor canister.

Refueling Vapor Recovery System: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The ORVR (On-Board Refueling Vapor Recovery) system is used to remove excess fuel tank
vapors. This is done while the vehicle is being refueled.
Fuel flowing into the fuel filler tube (approx. 1" I.D.) creates an aspiration effect drawing air into the
fuel fill tube. During refueling, the fuel tank is vented to the EVAP 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 EVAP canister, the vehicle's computer controlled
purge system draws vapor out of the canister for the engine to burn. The vapor 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 fuel 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 and on to the vapor
canister. Vapor is absorbed in the EVAP canister until vapor flow in the lines stops. This stoppage
occurs following fuel shut-off, or by having the fuel level in the tank rise high enough to close the
control valve. This control valve contains a float that rises to seal the large diameter vent path to
the EVAP canister. At this point in the refueling process, fuel tank pressure increases, the check
valve closes (preventing liquid fuel from spitting back at the operator), and fuel then rises up the
fuel filler tube to shut off the dispensing nozzle.

DESCRIPTION
The Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) uses a High Flow EGR valve. The High Flow EGR valve can
only be used on the HEV engine and is not compatible with any other engine applications. The
High Flow EGR valve consists of three components. First, there is the pintle, valve seat, and
housing which contains and regulates the gas flow. Second, there is the armature, return spring,
and solenoid coil to provide the operating force to regulate the flow by changing the pintle position.
The solenoid coil assembly is in parallel with a diode and connects the two connectors in the
connector assembly. Third, there is the pintle position sensor which senses pintle position and is
connected to the three connectors in the electrical connector assembly.

The exhaust gas recirculation flow is determined by the engine controller. For a given set of
conditions, the engine controller knows the ideal exhaust gas recirculation flow to optimize NOx
and fuel economy as a function of the pintle position. Pintle position is obtained from the position
sensor. The engine controller adjusts the duty cycle of 128 Hz power supplied to the solenoid coil
to obtain the correct pintle position.

Fuel: Description and Operation
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Your engine is designed to meet all emissions regulations and provide excellent fuel economy and
performance when using high quality unleaded "regular" gasoline having an octane rating of 87.
The routine use of premium gasoline is not recommended. Under normal conditions the use of
premium fuel will not provide a benefit over high quality regular gasolines and in some
circumstances may result in poorer performance.
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
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.
CAUTION: DO NOT use gasoline containing METHANOL. Gasoline containing methanol may
damage critical fuel system components.
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 gasolines 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 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
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.
FUEL SYSTEM CAUTIONS
CAUTION: Follow these guidelines to maintain your vehicle's performance:
- The use of leaded gas is prohibited by Federal law. Using leaded gasoline can impair engine
performance, damage the emission control system,
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))

Description and Operation > Page 4131
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 the responsibility of
Chrysler Corporation and may not be covered under the new vehicle warranty.
NOTE: Intentional tampering with emissions control systems can result in civil penalties being
assessed against you.

Fuel Filler Cap: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The loss of any fuel vapor out of fuel filler tube is prevented by the use of pressure-vacuum fuel fill
cap. Relief valves inside the cap will release fuel tank pressure at predetermined pressures. Fuel
tank vacuum will also be released at predetermined values. This cap must be replaced by a similar
unit if replacement is necessary. This is in order for the system to remain effective.
CAUTION: Remove fill cap before servicing any fuel system component to relieve tank pressure. If
the cap is left loose, a Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) may be set.

Fuel Filler Cap Warning Indicator: Description and Operation Gas Cap Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A gas cap indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The gas cap indication
appears within the odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. The gas cap indicator
consists of a textual GASCAP message which appears in place of the odometer/trip odometer
information in the display.
The odometer VFD is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board, and is visible through a
window with a smoked clear lens located on the lower edge of the tachometer gauge dial face of
the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD prevents it from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. The gas cap textual message appears in the same blue-green color and at the same
lighting level as the odometer/trip odometer information when illuminated by the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The gas cap indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD in the instrument cluster.

Fuel Filler Cap Warning Indicator: Description and Operation Gas Cap Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The gas cap indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when there is a gross leak
detected in the on board fuel vapor recovery system. This indicator is controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The gas cap indicator function of the odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit is
completely controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to
operate when the instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch
output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the VFD gas cap indication is always off when the ignition
switch is in any position except ON or START. The instrument cluster turns on the gas cap
indicator for the following reasons:
- Gas Cap Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic gas cap
indicator lamp-on message from the PCM indicating there is a gross leak in the vapor recovery
system, the gas cap indicator illuminates. If the ignition switch is in the ON position and the vehicle
is not moving when the message is received, the VFD repeatedly and sequentially cycles the gas
cap indication in two second intervals with the odometer/trip odometer information and any other
active textual warnings. If the vehicle is moving, or once the cluster of a non-moving vehicle
receives an electronic vehicle speed message from the PCM indicating a speed greater than zero,
the warning sequence consists of three complete display cycles with an audible single chime tone
accompanying each cycle, then revert to only the visual gas cap indication and odometer/trip
odometer display cycling until the cluster receives a message indicating there is no gross leak in
the vapor recovery system, or until the ignition switch turns to the off position, whichever occurs
first. The VFD can be reverted to the odometer display and any currently displayed textual
messages suspended by momentarily depressing and releasing the odometer/trip odometer reset
switch button on the front of the cluster.
The PCM continually monitors the on board vapor recovery system to determine whether there are
air leaks in the system. The PCM then sends the proper electronic messages to the instrument
cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). If the CCN turns on the gas cap
indicator due to a monitored gross leak in the vapor recovery system, it may indicate that the gas
cap has been removed or is improperly installed.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the on board vapor recovery system, the PCM,
the CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to gas cap indicator operation.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Fuel Injector: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The top (fuel entry) end of the injector (3) is attached into an opening on the fuel rail.
The fuel injectors are electrical solenoids. 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 pencil stream. The spraying action atomizes
the fuel, adding it to the air entering the combustion chamber.
The nozzle (outlet) ends of the injectors (2) are positioned into openings in the intake manifold just
above the intake valve ports of the cylinder head. The engine wiring harness connector for each
fuel injector is equipped with an attached numerical tag (INJ 1, INJ 2 etc.). This is used to identify
each fuel injector.
The injectors are energized individually in a sequential order by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM will adjust injector pulse width by switching the ground path to each individual
injector on and off. Injector pulse width is the period of time that the injector is energized. The PCM
will adjust injector pulse width based on various inputs it receives.
Battery voltage is supplied to the injectors through the ASD relay.
The PCM determines injector pulse width based on various inputs.

Fuel Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION - HEV
The fuel tank pressure sensor provides the PCM with information on vapor pressure inside the fuel
tank. The sensor is a diaphragm-type pressure sensor and varies its voltage output depending on
fuel tank pressure. When the fuel tank isolation valve is activated (closed), preventing fuel vapors
from leaving the tank, the PCM will monitor the fuel tank pressure sensor to prevent pressure from
increasing or decreasing to an unsafe level.
Excessive fuel tank pressure could cause fuel vapors to vent out the fuel cap or damage system
components while insufficient fuel tank pressure (vacuum) caused by lack of air entering the tank to
take the place of consumed fuel could lead to collapsed tank, lines or loss of fuel pressure.

Fuel Pump Relay: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) energizes the electric fuel pump through the fuel pump
relay. The fuel pump relay is energized by first applying battery voltage to it when the ignition key is
turned ON, and then applying a ground signal to the relay from the PCM.
Whenever the ignition key is turned ON, the electric fuel pump will operate. But, the PCM will
shut-down the ground circuit to the fuel pump relay in approximately 1-3 seconds unless the engine
is operating or the starter motor is engaged.

WARNING: The fuel system may be under a constant pressure (even with the engine off). Before
servicing any fuel system hoses, fittings, lines,
or most components, fuel system pressure must be released. Refer to the fuel system pressure
release procedure. See: Fuel Filter/Fuel Pressure Release/Service and Repair
The lines/tubes/hoses used on fuel injected vehicles are of a special construction. This is due to
the higher fuel pressures and the possibility of contaminated fuel in this system. If it is necessary to
replace these lines/tubes/hoses, only those marked EFM/EFI may be used.
If equipped: The hose clamps used to secure rubber hoses on fuel injected vehicles are of a
special rolled edge construction. This construction is used to prevent the edge of the clamp from
cutting into the hose. Only these rolled edge type clamps may be used in this system. All other
types of clamps may cut into the hoses and cause high-pressure fuel leaks.
Use new original equipment type hose clamps.

NOTE:
This bulletin applies to all vehicles equipped with a gasoline engine.
DISCUSSION:
Customer may report that the vehicle is hard to fill with fuel or that the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
repeatedly while trying to fill vehicle.
This customer complaint can occur due to a number of different causes. The fuel tank is the least
likely cause of this condition. The following Diagnostic procedure can be used to diagnose the
issues.
DIAGNOSIS:
1. Is the vehicle a LX/LE/LC/L2?
a. Yes >> proceed to Step # 2
b. No >> proceed to Step # 4
2. Idle the vehicle 60 to 90 seconds upon stopping.
3. Does tank refill properly?
a. No >> proceed to Step # 4
b. Yes >> Inform the customer to idle the vehicle for 60 to 90 seconds upon stopping if vehicle was
driven aggressively. This is due to the fact that
on the LX/LE/LC/L2 the fuel tank is a unique saddle tank design and needs 30 to 60 seconds while
the engine is running to level the fuel in both half's of the fuel tank. Allowing the vehicle to idle for

NOTE:
This bulletin applies to all vehicles equipped with a gasoline engine.
DISCUSSION:
Customer may report that the vehicle is hard to fill with fuel or that the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
repeatedly while trying to fill vehicle.
This customer complaint can occur due to a number of different causes. The fuel tank is the least
likely cause of this condition. The following Diagnostic procedure can be used to diagnose the
issues.
DIAGNOSIS:
1. Is the vehicle a LX/LE/LC/L2?
a. Yes >> proceed to Step # 2
b. No >> proceed to Step # 4
2. Idle the vehicle 60 to 90 seconds upon stopping.
3. Does tank refill properly?
a. No >> proceed to Step # 4
b. Yes >> Inform the customer to idle the vehicle for 60 to 90 seconds upon stopping if vehicle was
driven aggressively. This is due to the fact that
on the LX/LE/LC/L2 the fuel tank is a unique saddle tank design and needs 30 to 60 seconds while
the engine is running to level the fuel in both half's of the fuel tank. Allowing the vehicle to idle for
this amount of time will let the fuel pump transfer fuel to the left side tank, opening the control valve
and allowing normal fuel filling.
4. Disconnect the vapor recirculation tube at the fuel tank.
5. Attempt to refill fuel tank.
6. Does tank refill properly?
a. Yes >> Proceed to Step # 7
b. No >> Proceed to Step # 11.
7. Reconnect the vapor recirculation tube at the fuel tank.
8. Disconnect the other end of the vapor recirculation tube at the fuel filler tube.
9. Attempt to refill fuel tank.
10. Does tank refill properly?
a. Yes >> Replace fuel filler tube.
b. No >> Replace the vapor recirculation tube.

Fuel Gauge Sender: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The fuel pump module assembly (4) is located on the top of the fuel tank (2).
The module assembly (5) contains the following components:
- An internal fuel filter
- A separate fuel pick-up, or inlet filter (3)
- A fuel pressure regulator (4)
- An electric fuel pump (2)
- A lock ring to retain pump module to tank
- A soft gasket between tank flange and module
- A fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor) (1)
- Fuel line connection (6)
If the fuel gauge sending unit, electrical fuel pump, primary inlet filter, fuel filter or fuel pressure
regulator require service, the fuel pump module must be replaced.
Electric Fuel Pump
The electric fuel pump is located inside of the fuel pump module. A 12 volt, permanent magnet,
electric motor powers the fuel pump. The electric fuel pump is not a separate, serviceable
component.
Fuel Filters
Two fuel filters are used. One is located at the bottom of the fuel pump module. The other is
located inside the module. A separate frame mounted fuel filter is not used with any engine.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Tank > Fuel Gauge Sender >
Component Information > Locations > Page 4260
Both fuel filters are designed for extended service. They do not require normal scheduled
maintenance. Filters should only be replaced if a diagnostic procedure indicates to do so.
Fuel Pressure Regulator
The fuel pressure regulator is located within fuel pump module.
Fuel Gauge Sending Unit (Fuel level sensor)
The fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor) is attached to the side of the fuel pump module. The
sending unit consists of a float, an arm, and a variable resistor track (card).

DESCRIPTION
The 5-pin, 12-volt, Automatic Shutdown (ASD) relay is located in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC). Refer to label on PDC cover for relay location.

Main Relay (Computer/Fuel System): Description and Operation Auto Shutdown Relay - Operation
PCM Output
PCM OUTPUT
The ASD relay supplies battery voltage (12+ volts) to the fuel injectors and ignition coil(s). With
certain emissions packages it also supplies 12-volts to the oxygen sensor heating elements.
The ground circuit for the coil within the ASD relay is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM operates the ASD relay by switching its ground circuit on and off.
The ASD relay will be shut-down, meaning the 12-volt power supply to the ASD relay will be
de-activated by the PCM if:
- The ignition key is left in the ON position. This is if the engine has not been running for
approximately 1.8 seconds.
- There is a crankshaft position sensor signal to the PCM that is lower than pre-determined values.
ASD Sense - PCM Input
ASD SENSE - PCM INPUT
A 12 volt signal at this input indicates to the PCM that the ASD has been activated. The relay is
used to connect the oxygen sensor heater element, ignition coil and fuel injectors to 12 volt +
power supply.
This input is used only to sense that the ASD relay is energized. If the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) does not see 12 volts at this input when the ASD should be activated, it will set a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC).

Fuel Pump Relay: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) energizes the electric fuel pump through the fuel pump
relay. The fuel pump relay is energized by first applying battery voltage to it when the ignition key is
turned ON, and then applying a ground signal to the relay from the PCM.
Whenever the ignition key is turned ON, the electric fuel pump will operate. But, the PCM will
shut-down the ground circuit to the fuel pump relay in approximately 1-3 seconds unless the engine
is operating or the starter motor is engaged.

PCM Output
PCM OUTPUT
The ASD relay supplies battery voltage (12+ volts) to the fuel injectors and ignition coil(s). With
certain emissions packages it also supplies 12-volts to the oxygen sensor heating elements.
The ground circuit for the coil within the ASD relay is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM operates the ASD relay by switching its ground circuit on and off.
The ASD relay will be shut-down, meaning the 12-volt power supply to the ASD relay will be
de-activated by the PCM if:
- The ignition key is left in the ON position. This is if the engine has not been running for
approximately 1.8 seconds.
- There is a crankshaft position sensor signal to the PCM that is lower than pre-determined values.
ASD Sense - PCM Input
ASD SENSE - PCM INPUT
A 12 volt signal at this input indicates to the PCM that the ASD has been activated. The relay is
used to connect the oxygen sensor heater element, ignition coil and fuel injectors to 12 volt +
power supply.
This input is used only to sense that the ASD relay is energized. If the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) does not see 12 volts at this input when the ASD should be activated, it will set a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC).

Fuel Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION - HEV
The fuel tank pressure sensor provides the PCM with information on vapor pressure inside the fuel
tank. The sensor is a diaphragm-type pressure sensor and varies its voltage output depending on
fuel tank pressure. When the fuel tank isolation valve is activated (closed), preventing fuel vapors
from leaving the tank, the PCM will monitor the fuel tank pressure sensor to prevent pressure from
increasing or decreasing to an unsafe level.
Excessive fuel tank pressure could cause fuel vapors to vent out the fuel cap or damage system
components while insufficient fuel tank pressure (vacuum) caused by lack of air entering the tank to
take the place of consumed fuel could lead to collapsed tank, lines or loss of fuel pressure.

The CMP sensor is used in conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to differentiate between
fuel injection and spark events. It is also used to synchronize the fuel injectors with their respective
cylinders. The sensor generates electrical pulses. These pulses (signals) are sent to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). The PCM will then determine crankshaft position from both the camshaft
position sensor and crankshaft position sensor.
The tonewheel is located at the front of the camshaft (2). As the tonewheel rotates, notches (3)
pass through the sync signal generator.
When the cam gear is rotating, the sensor will detect the notches. Input voltage from the sensor to
the PCM will then switch from a low (approximately 0.3 volts) to a high (approximately 5 volts).
When the sensor detects a notch has passed, the input voltage switches back low to approximately
0.3 volts.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
5.7L
Engine speed and crankshaft position are provided through the crankshaft position sensor. The
sensor generates pulses that are the input sent to the powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM
interprets the sensor input to determine the crankshaft position. The PCM then uses this position,
along with other inputs, to determine injector sequence and ignition timing.
The sensor is a hall effect device combined with an internal magnet. It is also sensitive to steel
within a certain distance from it.
On the 5.7L V-8 engine, a tonewheel is bolted to the engine crankshaft. This tonewheel has sets of
notches (3) at its outer edge.
The notches cause a pulse to be generated when they pass under the sensor. The pulses are the
input to the PCM.

OPERATION
When the knock sensor detects a knock in one of the cylinders on the corresponding bank, it sends
an input signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). In response, the PCM retards ignition
timing for all cylinders by a scheduled amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric crystal 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 the knock sensor voltage signal as an input. 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 long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). The PCM, using
short term memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term
memory is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance,
possibly causing improper spark control.
Always use the specified torque when installing the knock sensors.

The CMP sensor is used in conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to differentiate between
fuel injection and spark events. It is also used to synchronize the fuel injectors with their respective
cylinders. The sensor generates electrical pulses. These pulses (signals) are sent to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). The PCM will then determine crankshaft position from both the camshaft
position sensor and crankshaft position sensor.
The tonewheel is located at the front of the camshaft (2). As the tonewheel rotates, notches (3)
pass through the sync signal generator.
When the cam gear is rotating, the sensor will detect the notches. Input voltage from the sensor to
the PCM will then switch from a low (approximately 0.3 volts) to a high (approximately 5 volts).
When the sensor detects a notch has passed, the input voltage switches back low to approximately
0.3 volts.

Engine speed and crankshaft position are provided through the crankshaft position sensor. The
sensor generates pulses that are the input sent to the powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM
interprets the sensor input to determine the crankshaft position. The PCM then uses this position,
along with other inputs, to determine injector sequence and ignition timing.
The sensor is a hall effect device combined with an internal magnet. It is also sensitive to steel
within a certain distance from it.
On the 5.7L V-8 engine, a tonewheel is bolted to the engine crankshaft. This tonewheel has sets of
notches (3) at its outer edge.
The notches cause a pulse to be generated when they pass under the sensor. The pulses are the
input to the PCM.

Transfer Case Actuator: Description and Operation Shift Motor - Description
DESCRIPTION
The overall function of the shift motor (1) is an electromechanical device consisting of a DC
permanent magnet motor and a position holding brake. The shift motors function is to move and
lock a gear that moves the range fork and clutch lever found in the transfer case. This allows the
transfer case to be shifted electrically to multiple operating positions (4WD AUTO, 4WD LOW and
2WD). The operating current of the shift motor under stall conditions is 30 amps maximum, at 22°
C (72° F) with 13.5 volts, at the motor leads.

Transfer Case Actuator: Description and Operation Shift Motor - Operation
OPERATION
Shifting in the transfer case occurs when a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) voltage is supplied to
the shift motor (1) by the Final Drive Control Module (FDCM). A linear analog position sensor
(encoder) (3) located on the rear transfer case housing and provides the FDCM with the motor's
angular, rotational position. With this information, the FDCM continuously knows the position of the
motor, and therefore allows it to accurately control the operation of the motor, including voltage
polarity which is used to control motor direction.
The electronically controlled wet clutch pack uses an electric motor to actuate an internal gear
train, clutch cam, and low range barrel cam. The clutch cam actuates the clutch levers that apply
normal force to the multi-disc wet clutch pack. The clutch discs are alternately splined to the front
and rear outputs. When normal force is applied to this clutch pack, torque is transferred to equalize
speed differences between the front and rear axles.

Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Tow/Haul Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A tow/haul indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The tow/haul indicator is
located below the minor gauge set on the left side of the cluster.
The tow/haul indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text TOW/HAUL in the opaque layer of
the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in
the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent
outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
When the exterior lighting is turned ON, the illumination intensity of the tow/haul indicator is
dimmable, which is adjusted along with the cluster general illumination lighting using the panel
lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the headlamp switch.
The tow/haul indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Tow/Haul Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The tow/haul indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the tow/haul function switch
has been selected, revising the shift schedule of the electronically controlled automatic
transmission. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board
based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The tow/haul indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED is
always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the tow/haul indicator for the following reasons:
- Tow/Haul Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic tow/haul
indicator lamp-on message from the PCM indicating that the tow/haul shift schedule has been
selected, the indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a
lamp-off message from the PCM, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position,
whichever occurs first.
- self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the tow/haul indicator turns on, then
off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the
cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the tow/haul switch to determine the proper outputs to the automatic
transmission. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the instrument
cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the tow/haul
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, See: Instrument Panel, Gauges
and Warning Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the transmission control system, the PCM, the
CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to tow/haul indicator operation.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

RFE - RLE TRANSMISSIONS
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) is a sub-module within the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM is located on the right inner fender.
EVT AHS-T TRANSMISSION
TEHCM MOUNTING BOLTS
On vehicles equipped with the AHS-T HEV transmission the TCM is imbedded into the
Transmission Electronic Hydraulic Control Module (TECHM) that is mounted to the valve body and
is not serviceable, the unit must be replaced.

Control Module: Description and Operation Transmission Control Module - Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) controls all electronic operations of the transmission. The
TCM receives information regarding vehicle operation from both direct and indirect inputs, and
selects the operational mode of the transmission. Direct inputs are hard wired to, and used
specifically by the TCM. Indirect inputs are shared with the TCM via the vehicle communication
bus.
Some examples of direct inputs to the TCM are:
- Battery (B+) voltage
- Ignition "ON" voltage
- Transmission Control Relay (Switched B+) (if equipped)
- Throttle Position Sensor
- Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Transmission Range Sensor
- Pressure Switches
- Transmission Temperature Sensor
- Input Shaft Speed Sensor
- Output Shaft Speed Sensor
- Line Pressure Sensor
Some examples of indirect inputs to the TCM are:
- Engine/Body Identification
- Manifold Pressure
- Target Idle
- Torque Reduction Confirmation
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Ambient/Battery Temperature
- Scan Tool 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
- Torque Reduction Request
Some examples of TCM indirect outputs are:
- Transmission Temperature (to PCM)
- PRNDL Position (to cluster/CCN)
In addition to monitoring inputs and controlling outputs, the TCM has other important
responsibilities and functions:
- Storing and maintaining Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI)
- Storing and selecting appropriate Shift Schedules
- System self-diagnostics
- Diagnostic capabilities (with scan tool)
NOTE: If the TCM has been replaced, the "Quick Learn Procedure" must be performed. See:
Computers and Control Systems/Testing and
Inspection/Programming and Relearning/TCM Quick Learn
BATTERY FEED
A fused, direct battery feed to the TCM is used for continuous power. This battery voltage is
necessary to retain memory in the TCM. When the battery (B+) is disconnected, this memory is
lost. When the battery (B+) is restored, this memory loss is detected by the TCM and a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) is set.
CLUTCH VOLUME INDEXES (CVI)

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Transmission Control Systems > Relays and Modules Transmission and Drivetrain > Relays and Modules - A/T > Control Module, A/T > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Transmission Control Module - Description > Page 4540
An important function of the TCM is to monitor Clutch Volume Indexes (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 transmission gear position. This is important
to the CVI calculation because the TCM determines CVIs by monitoring how long it takes for a gear
change to occur.
Gear ratios can be determined by using the 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 input clutch assembly can cause inadequate or
out-of-range element volumes. Also, defective Input/Output Speed Sensors and wiring can cause
these conditions. The following charts identifies the appropriate clutch volumes and when they are
monitored/updated:

SHIFT SCHEDULES
As mentioned earlier, the TCM has programming that allows it to select a variety of shift schedules.
Shift schedule selection is dependent on the following:
- Shift lever position
- Throttle position
- Engine load
- Fluid temperature
- Software level
As driving conditions change, the TCM appropriately adjusts the shift schedule. Refer to the
following chart to determine the appropriate operation expected, depending on driving conditions.

provide the proper transmission operation. The resolver offset learn procedure should be
performed if any of the following procedures are performed:
- Transmission Assembly Replacement
- Transmission Electronic Hydraulic Control Module (TEHCM) Replacement
- Flashing the TCM
- Electric Motors Replacement
- Valve Body Replacement or Recondition
To perform the Resolver Offset Learn Trigger Procedure, the following conditions must be met:
- The brakes must be applied
- The engine speed must be above 500 rpm
- The shift lever position must stay in PARK until prompted to shift.
- The calculated oil temperature must be above 15° C (60° F) and below 93° C (200° F)

Information > Description and Operation > Final Drive Control Module - Description > Page 4563
Control Module: Description and Operation Final Drive Control Module - Operation
OPERATION
POWER UP/DOWN
The Final Drive Control Module (FDCM) will power up with an OFF/ON transition of the hard wired
ignition switch input, or with the presence of active CAN C communications.
The FDCM will power down when the vehicle ignition switch transitions from ON to OFF, or there
are no CAN C messages, or there are no system requirements that dictate the controller to remain
active
START-UP DIAGNOSTICS
When the FDCM is activated, the internal circuitry will undergo a diagnostic procedure. The
controller will examine all inputs and outputs for short circuits to ground, short circuits to battery
and open circuits and will also verify proper CPU and memory operation. If a fault is detected, a
message will be sent out over the CAN C bus to the Cluster based Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) indicating that service is recommended.
After passing all diagnostic tests, the controller will receive and process inputs and produce the
appropriate outputs. Proper monitoring of the controller inputs and outputs performance will
continue.
INPUTS/OUTPUTS
The following are inputs to the FDCM:
- Lateral Accelerometer
- Transfer Case Mode Sensor Signal
- 3 Direct Battery Feeds
- Ignition RUN Sense
- Sensor Grounds
- Module Grounds
- CAN C Bus
The following are outputs of the FDCM:
- 5V Sensor Supply
- Transfer Case Bi-directional Motor Control (A AND B)
TRANSFER CASE MODE SENSOR SIGNAL
The Transfer Case Mode Sensor Signal Input will provide the FDCM feedback about the position of
the transfer case. The mode sensor will be a linear analog position sensor with a 1.4K +/- 20%
potentiometer and a 1 K +/- 20% resistor that converts the motor shaft position into a multiplexed
voltage.

SLIP CONTROL
Slip Control increases torque to the front axle when a relative slip is detected between the front and
the rear prop shafts.
Slip Control adjusts according to the vehicle speed and allows a permissible slip.
Utilizes a closed loop strategy for permissible slip and speed of engagement.
STABILITY CONTROL
Stability control modifies the torque request based upon the vehicle dynamics under the over-steer
and under-steer conditions.
It monitors the yaw rate and the lateral acceleration to modify the clutch capacity to bring the
vehicle back to a more neutral attitude.
Compensates for high load conditions by monitoring the vehicle acceleration and changing the
torque capacity.
REGENERATIVE BRAKING STRATEGY
During the event of regenerative braking the software splits the torque indicated by the signal axle
in a ratio of 47:53 front and rear respectively.
This torque split is to be modified to achieve optimum efficiency levels during a braking event.
MODES OF OPERATION
Normal Operation
This mode is achieved by the ignition being switched in the RUN position, which powers up the 5V
regulator and generates the appropriate RESET for the microprocessor. This mode also includes
any required power-up system checks.
Shut Down Mode
This mode is activated when the ignition switch turned to the off position. The FDCM will perform
any required Shut Down tasks prior to turning off the 5V regulator.
Limp-In Mode
This mode is entered when the FDCM has detected an error condition that prevents the system
from performing its' required task. The FDCM operation will vary depending from modified
operation to total system shut down based on the failure that has occurred.

Overdrive Switch: Description and Operation Overdrive Lockout Switch - Operation
OPERATION
Tow/haul is only used in the D position. When used while towing, the electronic control module
(ECU) commands hybrid system to create more positive axle torque to the wheels. When used
while coasting downhill and the vehicle gains speed, the ECU commands the hybrid system to
create more negative axle torque to the wheels, helping the vehicle to maintain the correct speed.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) stores a target speed when the accelerator and brake are
released, if vehicle speed increases due to a hill, then additional negative wheel torque is added to
the PCMs wheel torque request.
The Hybrid Control Processor (HCP) follows the PCMs command and downshifts as required to
meet the negative torque request.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation Transmission Range Sensor Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
There are many possible combinations of open and closed switches (codes). This results in many
codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes. An invalid code will result in a
DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based on pressure switch data. This
allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

OPERATION
The transmission temperature sensor is used by the TCM to sense the temperature of the fluid in
the sump. Since fluid temperature can affect transmission shift quality, the TCM requires this
information to determine which shift schedule to operate in.
Calculated Temperature
A failure in the temperature sensor or circuit will result in calculated temperature being substituted
for actual temperature. Calculated temperature is a predicted fluid temperature which is calculated
from a combination of inputs:
- Battery (ambient) temperature.
- Engine coolant temperature.
- In-gear run time since start-up.

DESCRIPTION
The transfer case encoder (3) provides the Drive Train Control Module (DTCM) feedback about the
position of the transfer case. The sensor consists of a linear analog position sensor that converts
the motor output shaft position into a DC signal. The sensor may rotate a full 360 degrees. When
the DTCM is not in sleep mode, it must supply 5 VDC (+/- 0.5 v) to the sensor and monitor the shift
motor position. The sensor position is monitored when the ignition is in the RUN position and for 10
seconds after the ignition is turned to the OFF position. The sensor is mechanically linked to the
shaft of the cam allowing the transfer case to shift. The mode sensor draws less than 20 mA of
current during operation.

OPERATION
During normal vehicle operation, the DTCM monitors the mode sensor outputs at least every 2
milliseconds when the shift motor is stationary or active. The mode sensor position will be
considered invalid by the DTCM if the voltage is greater than 4.75 V or if it is less than 0.25 V.
NOTE: All the parameter voltages referred to in the following information are calibrated items in the
controller software and are subject to
change.
The DTCM shall consider Transfer Case position based on the MODE SENSOR VOLTAGES table

Transfer Case Actuator: Description and Operation Shift Motor - Description
DESCRIPTION
The overall function of the shift motor (1) is an electromechanical device consisting of a DC
permanent magnet motor and a position holding brake. The shift motors function is to move and
lock a gear that moves the range fork and clutch lever found in the transfer case. This allows the
transfer case to be shifted electrically to multiple operating positions (4WD AUTO, 4WD LOW and
2WD). The operating current of the shift motor under stall conditions is 30 amps maximum, at 22°
C (72° F) with 13.5 volts, at the motor leads.

Shift Motor - Description > Page 4667
Transfer Case Actuator: Description and Operation Shift Motor - Operation
OPERATION
Shifting in the transfer case occurs when a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) voltage is supplied to
the shift motor (1) by the Final Drive Control Module (FDCM). A linear analog position sensor
(encoder) (3) located on the rear transfer case housing and provides the FDCM with the motor's
angular, rotational position. With this information, the FDCM continuously knows the position of the
motor, and therefore allows it to accurately control the operation of the motor, including voltage
polarity which is used to control motor direction.
The electronically controlled wet clutch pack uses an electric motor to actuate an internal gear
train, clutch cam, and low range barrel cam. The clutch cam actuates the clutch levers that apply
normal force to the multi-disc wet clutch pack. The clutch discs are alternately splined to the front
and rear outputs. When normal force is applied to this clutch pack, torque is transferred to equalize
speed differences between the front and rear axles.

DESCRIPTION
RFE - RLE TRANSMISSIONS
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) is a sub-module within the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM is located on the right inner fender.
EVT AHS-T TRANSMISSION
TEHCM MOUNTING BOLTS
On vehicles equipped with the AHS-T HEV transmission the TCM is imbedded into the
Transmission Electronic Hydraulic Control Module (TECHM) that is mounted to the valve body and
is not serviceable, the unit must be replaced.

Control Module: Description and Operation Transmission Control Module - Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) controls all electronic operations of the transmission. The
TCM receives information regarding vehicle operation from both direct and indirect inputs, and
selects the operational mode of the transmission. Direct inputs are hard wired to, and used
specifically by the TCM. Indirect inputs are shared with the TCM via the vehicle communication
bus.
Some examples of direct inputs to the TCM are:
- Battery (B+) voltage
- Ignition "ON" voltage
- Transmission Control Relay (Switched B+) (if equipped)
- Throttle Position Sensor
- Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Transmission Range Sensor
- Pressure Switches
- Transmission Temperature Sensor
- Input Shaft Speed Sensor
- Output Shaft Speed Sensor
- Line Pressure Sensor
Some examples of indirect inputs to the TCM are:
- Engine/Body Identification
- Manifold Pressure
- Target Idle
- Torque Reduction Confirmation
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Ambient/Battery Temperature
- Scan Tool 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
- Torque Reduction Request
Some examples of TCM indirect outputs are:
- Transmission Temperature (to PCM)
- PRNDL Position (to cluster/CCN)
In addition to monitoring inputs and controlling outputs, the TCM has other important
responsibilities and functions:
- Storing and maintaining Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI)
- Storing and selecting appropriate Shift Schedules
- System self-diagnostics
- Diagnostic capabilities (with scan tool)
NOTE: If the TCM has been replaced, the "Quick Learn Procedure" must be performed. See:
Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning/TCM Quick Learn
BATTERY FEED
A fused, direct battery feed to the TCM is used for continuous power. This battery voltage is
necessary to retain memory in the TCM. When the battery (B+) is disconnected, this memory is
lost. When the battery (B+) is restored, this memory loss is detected by the TCM and a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) is set.
CLUTCH VOLUME INDEXES (CVI)
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Control Module, A/T >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Transmission Control Module - Description > Page 4688
An important function of the TCM is to monitor Clutch Volume Indexes (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 transmission gear position. This is important
to the CVI calculation because the TCM determines CVIs by monitoring how long it takes for a gear
change to occur.
Gear ratios can be determined by using the 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 input clutch assembly can cause inadequate or
out-of-range element volumes. Also, defective Input/Output Speed Sensors and wiring can cause
these conditions. The following charts identifies the appropriate clutch volumes and when they are
monitored/updated:

EVT AHS-T
SHIFT SCHEDULES
As mentioned earlier, the TCM has programming that allows it to select a variety of shift schedules.
Shift schedule selection is dependent on the following:
- Shift lever position
- Throttle position
- Engine load
- Fluid temperature
- Software level
As driving conditions change, the TCM appropriately adjusts the shift schedule. Refer to the
following chart to determine the appropriate operation expected, depending on driving conditions.

DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems include:
engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and refrigerant. The only
exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle maintenance schedules, e.g. engine
coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has occurred
and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of
system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the original approved system
fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSE(R) approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with Mopar
Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all
deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the specified coolant and
distilled water.

Fluid - A/T: Description and Operation
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
NOTE: Refer to Service Procedures for fluid level checking procedures.
Dexron VI Automatic Transmission Fluid is the only recommended fluid for the Hybrid transmission.
Mopar(R) ATF +4, Automatic Transmission Fluid is the recommended fluid for most Chrysler
automatic transmissions.
Dexron II fluid IS NOT recommended. Clutch chatter can result from the use of improper fluid.
Mopar(R) ATF +4 as well as Dexron VI Automatic Transmission Fluid 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 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
Chrysler 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 Chrysler 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.

Information > Testing and Inspection > Effects of Incorrect Fluid Level
Fluid - A/T: Testing and Inspection Effects of Incorrect Fluid Level
EFFECTS OF INCORRECT FLUID LEVEL
A low fluid level allows the pump to take in air along with the fluid. Air in the fluid will cause fluid
pressures to be low and develop slower than normal. If the transmission is overfilled, the gears
churn the fluid into foam. This aerates the fluid and causing the same conditions occurring with a
low level. In either case, air bubbles cause fluid overheating, oxidation, and varnish buildup which
interferes with valve and clutch operation. Foaming also causes fluid expansion which can result in
fluid overflow from the transmission vent or fill tube. Fluid overflow can easily be mistaken for a
leak if inspection is not careful.

Fluid - A/T: Testing and Inspection Causes of Burnt Fluid
CAUSES OF BURNT FLUID
Burnt, discolored fluid is a result of overheating which has three primary causes.
1. Internal clutch slippage, usually caused by low line pressure, inadequate clutch apply pressure,
or clutch seal failure. 2. A result of restricted fluid flow through the main and auxiliary cooler. This
condition is usually the result of a faulty or improperly installed drain
back valve, a damaged oil cooler, or severe restrictions in the coolers and lines caused by debris or
kinked lines.
3. Heavy duty operation with a vehicle not properly equipped for this type of operation. Trailer
towing or similar high load operation will overheat
the transmission fluid if the vehicle is improperly equipped. Such vehicles should have an auxiliary
transmission fluid cooler, a heavy duty cooling system, and the engine/axle ratio combination
needed to handle heavy loads.

Fluid - A/T: Testing and Inspection Fluid Contamination
FLUID CONTAMINATION
Transmission fluid contamination is generally a result of:
- adding incorrect fluid.
- failure to clean dipstick and fill tube when checking level.
- engine coolant entering the fluid.
- internal failure that generates debris.
- overheat that generates sludge (fluid breakdown).
- failure to replace contaminated damper after repair.
The use of non-recommended fluids can result in transmission failure. The usual results are erratic
shifts, slippage, abnormal wear and eventual failure due to fluid breakdown and sludge formation.
Avoid this condition by using recommended fluids only.
Wipe the dipstick cap and fill tube clean before checking fluid level. Dirt, grease and other foreign
material on the cap and tube could fall into the tube if not removed beforehand. Take the time to
wipe the cap and tube clean before withdrawing the dipstick.
Engine coolant in the transmission fluid is generally caused by a cooler malfunction. The only
remedy is to replace the radiator as the cooler in the radiator is not a serviceable part. If coolant
has circulated through the transmission, an overhaul is necessary.
Replace the transmission damper whenever a failure generates sludge and debris. Normal flushing
procedures will not remove all contaminants.

Information > Service and Repair > Fluid Level Check
Fluid - A/T: Service and Repair Fluid Level Check
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
The 2 - Mode EVT transmission uses special Dexron VI oil. Do not use Chrysler MS-9602 oil in the
2 - Mode EVT.
A service dipstick, (dipstick 9336A) is required to check the oil level in the 2 - Mode EVT
transmission. The fill tube is located on the right side of the engine and is accessed through the
right front wheel well. To avoid contaminating the transmission fluid, make sure to clean all dirt and
debris from the fill tube cap and around the fill tube opening before removing the fill tube cap. The
torque damper fills with fluid in both the P (Park) and N (Neutral)positions. Place the selector lever
in P (PARK) to make sure that the fluid level check is accurate. The engine should be running at
idle speed for at least one minute with the vehicle on level ground. At normal operating temperature
the fluid level is correct if it is at the level shown in the table below on the service dipstick.
After the fluid has been checked, seat the fill tube cap fully on the fill tube opening to seal out
contaminants.
CAPPED FILL TUBE
WARNING: This vehicle has two modes of operation. Even with the gas engine off, the vehicle is
still capable of moving in electric only mode.
When the engine is running, there is also the risk of personal injury or property damage from the
vehicle unintentionally being placed into a drive gear and moving. Verify the parking brake is
operating correctly, and apply the parking brake while checking the transmission fluid level. There
is a risk of injury from rotating or hot parts on the engine when it has been run or when it is running.
Secure vehicle to prevent it from moving off by itself. Wear properly fastened and close-fitting work
clothes. Do not touch hot or rotating parts.
1. Verify that the vehicle is parked on a level surface. Apply the parking brake. 2. Turn the key on
and connect the scan tool to the data link connector. 3. Remove the fill tube cap. 4. Start the
engine and let it run at idle speed in the selector lever position "P" until the engine reaches normal
operating temperature. 5. Apply and hold the service brake. Shift the transmission into DRIVE for
approximately two seconds with the vehicle stationary and the engine
idling.
6. Shift the transmission into REVERSE for approximately two seconds with the vehicle stationary
and the engine idling. 7. Shift the transmission into park. 8. Use the scan tool to view the
transmission fluid temperature sensor. 9. Compare the transmission fluid temperature shown on
the scan tool with the transmission fluid level chart.
10. Adjust the transmission fluid level shown on the dipstick according to the transmission fluid
temperature chart.
NOTE: After adding fluid to the transmission, wait a minimum of two minutes for the oil to fully drain
from the fill tube into the transmission
before rechecking the fluid level.

Fluid Pump: Testing and Inspection Main Pump Hydraulic Pressure Test
MAIN PUMP HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TEST
An accurate pressure test gauge is required. Pressure Gauge C-3293SP has a 0-300 psi range
and is used at all locations where the pressures exceed 100 psi.
PRESSURE TEST PORT LOCATIONS
The pressure ports are located on the upper left hand side of the bellhousing. There is a bolt that
has to be removed to access each port. The main pump line pressure is monitored using the
bottom port (2). The auxiliary transmission oil pump pressure is monitored using the upper port (1).
To determine the line pressure, pressure test adaptor kit 10172 must be used. These tools must be
assembled and installed as an assembly onto the transmission, due to accessibility. The pressure
port must be accessed through the drivers side fender well.
TOOL INSTALLATION
1. Remove the LH front wheel and tire assembly. 2. Remove the LH fender well liner. See: Body
and Frame/Fender/Rear Fender/Rear Fender Liner/Description and Operation. 3. Remove the
main pump access port bolt (2) from the transmission bellhousing.

Fluid Pump: Testing and Inspection Auxiliary Pump Hydraulic Pressure Test
AUXILIARY PUMP HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TEST
An accurate pressure test gauge is required. The Pressure Gauge C-3293SP has a 0-300 psi
range and is used at all locations where the pressures exceed 100 psi.
PRESSURE TEST PORT LOCATIONS
The transmission line pressure ports are located on the upper left hand side of the bellhousing.
There are two bolts that has to be removed to access the ports. The main pump line pressure is
monitored using the bottom port (2). The auxiliary transmission oil pump pressure is monitored
using the upper port (1). To determine the line pressure, pressure test adaptor kit 10172 must be
used. These tools must be assembled and installed as an assembly onto the transmission, due to
accessibility. The pressure port must be accessed through the drivers side fender well.

AUXILIARY TRANSMISSION OIL PUMP PRESSURE TEST PROCEDURE
The 12 Volt battery must be fully charged to perform this test. A battery charger can be used if
needed. When testing the auxiliary transmission pump, the engine must not be running. Turn the
vehicle to the key on engine off position. Install the scan tool onto the vehicle. Using the scan tool,
select HCP and then Miscellaneous Functions. Finally select Transmission Auxiliary Pump Speed
(non boost). Choose a pump speed below 80 percent and actuate the transmission auxiliary oil
pump. Choosing a pump speed above 80 percent will cause the pressure relief valve to open and
will not give an accurate measurement. Watch and record the results on the pressure gauge.
Repeat the test at a different pump speed and compare the readings from the gauge, to the
estimated line pressure in the table below. The minimum line pressure of the transmission auxiliary
oil pump is 414 kpa (60 psi). The maximum line pressure for the auxiliary oil pump is 552 kpa (80
psi).

Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Tow/Haul Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A tow/haul indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The tow/haul indicator is
located below the minor gauge set on the left side of the cluster.
The tow/haul indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text TOW/HAUL in the opaque layer of
the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in
the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent
outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
When the exterior lighting is turned ON, the illumination intensity of the tow/haul indicator is
dimmable, which is adjusted along with the cluster general illumination lighting using the panel
lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the headlamp switch.
The tow/haul indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Tow/Haul Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The tow/haul indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the tow/haul function switch
has been selected, revising the shift schedule of the electronically controlled automatic
transmission. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board
based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The tow/haul indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED is
always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the tow/haul indicator for the following reasons:
- Tow/Haul Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic tow/haul
indicator lamp-on message from the PCM indicating that the tow/haul shift schedule has been
selected, the indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a
lamp-off message from the PCM, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position,
whichever occurs first.
- self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the tow/haul indicator turns on, then
off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the
cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the tow/haul switch to determine the proper outputs to the automatic
transmission. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the instrument
cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the tow/haul
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, See: Instrument Panel, Gauges
and Warning Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the transmission control system, the PCM, the
CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to tow/haul indicator operation.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Overdrive Switch: Description and Operation Overdrive Lockout Switch - Operation
OPERATION
Tow/haul is only used in the D position. When used while towing, the electronic control module
(ECU) commands hybrid system to create more positive axle torque to the wheels. When used
while coasting downhill and the vehicle gains speed, the ECU commands the hybrid system to
create more negative axle torque to the wheels, helping the vehicle to maintain the correct speed.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) stores a target speed when the accelerator and brake are
released, if vehicle speed increases due to a hill, then additional negative wheel torque is added to
the PCMs wheel torque request.
The Hybrid Control Processor (HCP) follows the PCMs command and downshifts as required to
meet the negative torque request.

Control Module: Description and Operation Transmission Control Module - Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) controls all electronic operations of the transmission. The
TCM receives information regarding vehicle operation from both direct and indirect inputs, and
selects the operational mode of the transmission. Direct inputs are hard wired to, and used
specifically by the TCM. Indirect inputs are shared with the TCM via the vehicle communication
bus.
Some examples of direct inputs to the TCM are:
- Battery (B+) voltage
- Ignition "ON" voltage
- Transmission Control Relay (Switched B+) (if equipped)
- Throttle Position Sensor
- Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Transmission Range Sensor
- Pressure Switches
- Transmission Temperature Sensor
- Input Shaft Speed Sensor
- Output Shaft Speed Sensor
- Line Pressure Sensor
Some examples of indirect inputs to the TCM are:
- Engine/Body Identification
- Manifold Pressure
- Target Idle
- Torque Reduction Confirmation
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Ambient/Battery Temperature
- Scan Tool 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
- Torque Reduction Request
Some examples of TCM indirect outputs are:
- Transmission Temperature (to PCM)
- PRNDL Position (to cluster/CCN)
In addition to monitoring inputs and controlling outputs, the TCM has other important
responsibilities and functions:
- Storing and maintaining Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI)
- Storing and selecting appropriate Shift Schedules
- System self-diagnostics
- Diagnostic capabilities (with scan tool)
NOTE: If the TCM has been replaced, the "Quick Learn Procedure" must be performed. See:
Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning/TCM Quick Learn
BATTERY FEED
A fused, direct battery feed to the TCM is used for continuous power. This battery voltage is
necessary to retain memory in the TCM. When the battery (B+) is disconnected, this memory is
lost. When the battery (B+) is restored, this memory loss is detected by the TCM and a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) is set.
CLUTCH VOLUME INDEXES (CVI)
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Relays and Modules - A/T
> Control Module, A/T > Component Information > Description and Operation > Transmission Control Module - Description
> Page 4786
An important function of the TCM is to monitor Clutch Volume Indexes (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 transmission gear position. This is important
to the CVI calculation because the TCM determines CVIs by monitoring how long it takes for a gear
change to occur.
Gear ratios can be determined by using the 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 input clutch assembly can cause inadequate or
out-of-range element volumes. Also, defective Input/Output Speed Sensors and wiring can cause
these conditions. The following charts identifies the appropriate clutch volumes and when they are
monitored/updated:

SHIFT SCHEDULES
As mentioned earlier, the TCM has programming that allows it to select a variety of shift schedules.
Shift schedule selection is dependent on the following:
- Shift lever position
- Throttle position
- Engine load
- Fluid temperature
- Software level
As driving conditions change, the TCM appropriately adjusts the shift schedule. Refer to the
following chart to determine the appropriate operation expected, depending on driving conditions.

Overdrive Switch: Description and Operation Overdrive Lockout Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The tow/haul on control switch is located in the shift lever arm. The switch is a momentary contact
device that signals the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to toggle current status of the overdrive
function.

Overdrive Switch: Description and Operation Overdrive Lockout Switch - Operation
OPERATION
Tow/haul is only used in the D position. When used while towing, the electronic control module
(ECU) commands hybrid system to create more positive axle torque to the wheels. When used
while coasting downhill and the vehicle gains speed, the ECU commands the hybrid system to
create more negative axle torque to the wheels, helping the vehicle to maintain the correct speed.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) stores a target speed when the accelerator and brake are
released, if vehicle speed increases due to a hill, then additional negative wheel torque is added to
the PCMs wheel torque request.
The Hybrid Control Processor (HCP) follows the PCMs command and downshifts as required to
meet the negative torque request.

Range Sensor - Description > Page 4829
Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation Transmission Range Sensor Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
There are many possible combinations of open and closed switches (codes). This results in many
codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes. An invalid code will result in a
DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based on pressure switch data. This
allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

Temperature Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The transmission temperature sensor is used by the TCM to sense the temperature of the fluid in
the sump. Since fluid temperature can affect transmission shift quality, the TCM requires this
information to determine which shift schedule to operate in.
Calculated Temperature
A failure in the temperature sensor or circuit will result in calculated temperature being substituted
for actual temperature. Calculated temperature is a predicted fluid temperature which is calculated
from a combination of inputs:
- Battery (ambient) temperature.
- Engine coolant temperature.
- In-gear run time since start-up.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation Transmission Range Sensor Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
There are many possible combinations of open and closed switches (codes). This results in many
codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes. An invalid code will result in a
DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based on pressure switch data. This
allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Transmission Oil
Temperature Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The transmission temperature sensor is used by the TCM to sense the temperature of the fluid in
the sump. Since fluid temperature can affect transmission shift quality, the TCM requires this
information to determine which shift schedule to operate in.
Calculated Temperature
A failure in the temperature sensor or circuit will result in calculated temperature being substituted
for actual temperature. Calculated temperature is a predicted fluid temperature which is calculated
from a combination of inputs:
- Battery (ambient) temperature.
- Engine coolant temperature.
- In-gear run time since start-up.

Valve Body - Cleaning
CLEANING
The use of a crocus cloth is permissible where necessary, providing it is used carefully. When
using on shafts or valves, use extreme care to avoid rounding off sharp edges. Sharp edges are
vital, as they prevent foreign matter from getting between the valve and valve bore.
Do not reuse snap rings or e-clips that are bent or distorted.
Lubricate transmission parts with DEXRON(R) VI automatic transmission fluid during overhaul and
assembly. Use petroleum jelly, Mopar(R) Door Ease, or Ru-Glyde to prelubricate seals, o-rings and
thrust washers. Petroleum jelly can also be used to hold parts in place during reassembly.
Flush the valve body bores and fluid passages thoroughly with solvent. Dry all the fluid passages
with compressed air. Be sure all solvent is removed from the valve body and that all fluid passages
are clear.
NOTE: Do not use shop towels, rags or any other transmission component unless they are made
from lint free materials to dry the case. Lint
sticks to case surfaces and transmission components and circulate throughout the transmission
after assembly. A sufficient quantity of lint can block fluid passages and interfere with valve body
operation.
Valve Body - Inspection
INSPECTION
Inspect all of the valve body mating surfaces for scratches, nicks, burrs, or distortion. Use a
straightedge to check surface flatness. Minor scratches may be removed with crocus cloth using
very light pressure.
Minor distortion of a valve body mating surface may be corrected by smoothing the surface with a
sheet of crocus cloth. Position the crocus cloth on a surface plate, sheet of plate glass, or equally
flat surface. If distortion is severe, or any surfaces are heavily scored, the valve body will have to
be

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Valve Body, A/T >
Component Information > Service and Repair > Removal and Replacement > Page 4943
replaced.
Inspect the valves and plugs for scratches, burrs, nicks, or scores. Minor surface scratches on steel
valves and plugs can be removed with crocus cloth. Do not round off the edges of the valve or plug
lands. Maintaining sharpness of these edges is vitally important. The edges prevent foreign matter
from lodging between the valves and plugs and the bore.
Inspect all of the valve and plug bores in the valve body. Use a penlight to view the bore interiors.
Replace the valve body if any bores are distorted or scored. Inspect all of the valve body springs.
The springs must be free of distortion, warpage, or broken coils.
Trial fit each valve and plug in its bore to check freedom of operation. When clean and dry, the
valves and plugs should drop freely into the bores.
Valve body bores do not change dimensionally with use. If the valve body functioned correctly
when new, it will continue to operate properly after cleaning and inspection. It should not be
necessary to replace a valve body assembly unless it is damaged in handling.
Inspect all the fluid seals (1) in the transmission case. Replace any seals that are cracked,
distorted, or damaged in any way. These seals pass fluid pressure directly to the clutches. Any
pressure leak at these points may cause transmission performance problems.

DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems include:
engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and refrigerant. The only
exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle maintenance schedules, e.g. engine
coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has occurred
and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of
system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the original approved system
fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSE(R) approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with Mopar
Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all
deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the specified coolant and
distilled water.

DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems include:
engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and refrigerant. The only
exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle maintenance schedules, e.g. engine
coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has occurred
and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of
system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the original approved system
fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSE(R) approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with Mopar
Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all
deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the specified coolant and
distilled water.

Drive/Propeller Shaft: Testing and Inspection
PROPELLER SHAFT
PROPELLER SHAFT VIBRATION
Out-of-round tires or wheels that are out of balance, will cause a low frequency vibration.
Driveline vibration can also be caused by loose or damaged engine mounts.
Propeller shaft vibration increases with vehicle speed. A vibration that occurs at a specific speed
range, is not usually caused by an out of balance propeller shaft. Defective universal joints or an
incorrect propeller shaft angle are usually the cause of such a vibration.
DRIVELINE VIBRATION
PROPELLER SHAFT BALANCE
If propeller shaft is suspected of being out of balance, use the following procedure.
NOTE: Indexing propeller shaft 180 degrees relative to the yoke may eliminate some vibrations.
1. Raise and support vehicle. 2. Clean all foreign material from the propeller shaft and universal
joints. 3. Inspect propeller shaft for missing balance weights, broken welds and bent areas. If
propeller shaft is bent, it must be replaced. 4. Inspect universal joints for wear and properly
installed. 5. Check propeller shaft bolt torques. 6. Remove wheels and install lug nuts to retain
brake rotors.

7. Mark and number the shaft six inches from the pinion yoke end at four positions 90 degrees
apart. 8. Run and accelerate vehicle until vibration occurs. Note the intensity and speed the
vibration occurred. Stop the engine. 9. Install a screw clamp at position (1).
10. Start engine and check vibration. If there is little or no change move the clamp to the next
positions. Repeat the vibration test.
NOTE: If there is no difference in vibration at this positions, the vibration may not be the propeller

Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Tow/Haul Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A tow/haul indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The tow/haul indicator is
located below the minor gauge set on the left side of the cluster.
The tow/haul indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text TOW/HAUL in the opaque layer of
the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in
the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent
outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
When the exterior lighting is turned ON, the illumination intensity of the tow/haul indicator is
dimmable, which is adjusted along with the cluster general illumination lighting using the panel
lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the headlamp switch.
The tow/haul indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Tow/Haul Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The tow/haul indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the tow/haul function switch
has been selected, revising the shift schedule of the electronically controlled automatic
transmission. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board
based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The tow/haul indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED is
always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the tow/haul indicator for the following reasons:
- Tow/Haul Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic tow/haul
indicator lamp-on message from the PCM indicating that the tow/haul shift schedule has been
selected, the indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a
lamp-off message from the PCM, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position,
whichever occurs first.
- self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the tow/haul indicator turns on, then
off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the
cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the tow/haul switch to determine the proper outputs to the automatic
transmission. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the instrument
cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the tow/haul
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, See: Instrument Panel, Gauges
and Warning Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the transmission control system, the PCM, the
CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to tow/haul indicator operation.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp - Transfer Case: Description and Operation Service 4WD Indicator Operation
OPERATION
The service 4WD indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the Front Control
Module (FCM) has recorded a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for an electronic transfer case
circuit or component malfunction. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument
cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the
cluster from the FCM over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The service 4WD indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED is always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the service 4WD indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the ON position the service 4WD indicator is
illuminated for about two seconds as a bulb test.
- Service 4WD Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic service
4WD indicator lamp-on message from the FCM, the service 4WD indicator illuminates. The
indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the FCM, or until
the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-ON or lamp-off messages from the FCM for
10 seconds, the service 4WD indicator is illuminated by the cluster to indicate a loss of FCM
communication. The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid
message is received from the FCM.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the service 4WD indicator turns on,
then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and
the cluster control circuitry.
The FCM continually monitors the electronic transfer case control circuits and transfer case shift
motor/mode sensor assembly to determine the condition of the system. The FCM then sends the
proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab
Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the service 4WD indicator or the instrument
cluster circuitry that controls the LED, See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning
Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the FCM, the CCN, the CAN data bus or the
electronic communication related to service 4WD indicator operation. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

DESCRIPTION
RFE - RLE TRANSMISSIONS
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) is a sub-module within the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM is located on the right inner fender.
EVT AHS-T TRANSMISSION
TEHCM MOUNTING BOLTS
On vehicles equipped with the AHS-T HEV transmission the TCM is imbedded into the
Transmission Electronic Hydraulic Control Module (TECHM) that is mounted to the valve body and
is not serviceable, the unit must be replaced.

Control Module: Description and Operation Transmission Control Module - Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) controls all electronic operations of the transmission. The
TCM receives information regarding vehicle operation from both direct and indirect inputs, and
selects the operational mode of the transmission. Direct inputs are hard wired to, and used
specifically by the TCM. Indirect inputs are shared with the TCM via the vehicle communication
bus.
Some examples of direct inputs to the TCM are:
- Battery (B+) voltage
- Ignition "ON" voltage
- Transmission Control Relay (Switched B+) (if equipped)
- Throttle Position Sensor
- Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Transmission Range Sensor
- Pressure Switches
- Transmission Temperature Sensor
- Input Shaft Speed Sensor
- Output Shaft Speed Sensor
- Line Pressure Sensor
Some examples of indirect inputs to the TCM are:
- Engine/Body Identification
- Manifold Pressure
- Target Idle
- Torque Reduction Confirmation
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Ambient/Battery Temperature
- Scan Tool 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
- Torque Reduction Request
Some examples of TCM indirect outputs are:
- Transmission Temperature (to PCM)
- PRNDL Position (to cluster/CCN)
In addition to monitoring inputs and controlling outputs, the TCM has other important
responsibilities and functions:
- Storing and maintaining Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI)
- Storing and selecting appropriate Shift Schedules
- System self-diagnostics
- Diagnostic capabilities (with scan tool)
NOTE: If the TCM has been replaced, the "Quick Learn Procedure" must be performed. See:
Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning/TCM Quick Learn
BATTERY FEED
A fused, direct battery feed to the TCM is used for continuous power. This battery voltage is
necessary to retain memory in the TCM. When the battery (B+) is disconnected, this memory is
lost. When the battery (B+) is restored, this memory loss is detected by the TCM and a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) is set.
CLUTCH VOLUME INDEXES (CVI)
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Relays and Modules - Transmission and Drivetrain > Relays
and Modules - A/T > Control Module, A/T > Component Information > Description and Operation > Transmission Control
Module - Description > Page 5126
An important function of the TCM is to monitor Clutch Volume Indexes (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 transmission gear position. This is important
to the CVI calculation because the TCM determines CVIs by monitoring how long it takes for a gear
change to occur.
Gear ratios can be determined by using the 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 input clutch assembly can cause inadequate or
out-of-range element volumes. Also, defective Input/Output Speed Sensors and wiring can cause
these conditions. The following charts identifies the appropriate clutch volumes and when they are
monitored/updated:

EVT AHS-T
SHIFT SCHEDULES
As mentioned earlier, the TCM has programming that allows it to select a variety of shift schedules.
Shift schedule selection is dependent on the following:
- Shift lever position
- Throttle position
- Engine load
- Fluid temperature
- Software level
As driving conditions change, the TCM appropriately adjusts the shift schedule. Refer to the
following chart to determine the appropriate operation expected, depending on driving conditions.

Control Module: Description and Operation Final Drive Control Module - Operation
OPERATION
POWER UP/DOWN
The Final Drive Control Module (FDCM) will power up with an OFF/ON transition of the hard wired
ignition switch input, or with the presence of active CAN C communications.
The FDCM will power down when the vehicle ignition switch transitions from ON to OFF, or there
are no CAN C messages, or there are no system requirements that dictate the controller to remain
active
START-UP DIAGNOSTICS
When the FDCM is activated, the internal circuitry will undergo a diagnostic procedure. The
controller will examine all inputs and outputs for short circuits to ground, short circuits to battery
and open circuits and will also verify proper CPU and memory operation. If a fault is detected, a
message will be sent out over the CAN C bus to the Cluster based Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) indicating that service is recommended.
After passing all diagnostic tests, the controller will receive and process inputs and produce the
appropriate outputs. Proper monitoring of the controller inputs and outputs performance will
continue.
INPUTS/OUTPUTS
The following are inputs to the FDCM:
- Lateral Accelerometer
- Transfer Case Mode Sensor Signal
- 3 Direct Battery Feeds
- Ignition RUN Sense
- Sensor Grounds
- Module Grounds
- CAN C Bus
The following are outputs of the FDCM:
- 5V Sensor Supply
- Transfer Case Bi-directional Motor Control (A AND B)
TRANSFER CASE MODE SENSOR SIGNAL
The Transfer Case Mode Sensor Signal Input will provide the FDCM feedback about the position of
the transfer case. The mode sensor will be a linear analog position sensor with a 1.4K +/- 20%
potentiometer and a 1 K +/- 20% resistor that converts the motor shaft position into a multiplexed
voltage.

SLIP CONTROL
Slip Control increases torque to the front axle when a relative slip is detected between the front and
the rear prop shafts.
Slip Control adjusts according to the vehicle speed and allows a permissible slip.
Utilizes a closed loop strategy for permissible slip and speed of engagement.
STABILITY CONTROL
Stability control modifies the torque request based upon the vehicle dynamics under the over-steer
and under-steer conditions.
It monitors the yaw rate and the lateral acceleration to modify the clutch capacity to bring the
vehicle back to a more neutral attitude.
Compensates for high load conditions by monitoring the vehicle acceleration and changing the
torque capacity.
REGENERATIVE BRAKING STRATEGY
During the event of regenerative braking the software splits the torque indicated by the signal axle
in a ratio of 47:53 front and rear respectively.
This torque split is to be modified to achieve optimum efficiency levels during a braking event.
MODES OF OPERATION
Normal Operation
This mode is achieved by the ignition being switched in the RUN position, which powers up the 5V
regulator and generates the appropriate RESET for the microprocessor. This mode also includes
any required power-up system checks.
Shut Down Mode
This mode is activated when the ignition switch turned to the off position. The FDCM will perform
any required Shut Down tasks prior to turning off the 5V regulator.
Limp-In Mode
This mode is entered when the FDCM has detected an error condition that prevents the system
from performing its' required task. The FDCM operation will vary depending from modified
operation to total system shut down based on the failure that has occurred.

Overdrive Switch: Description and Operation Overdrive Lockout Switch - Operation
OPERATION
Tow/haul is only used in the D position. When used while towing, the electronic control module
(ECU) commands hybrid system to create more positive axle torque to the wheels. When used
while coasting downhill and the vehicle gains speed, the ECU commands the hybrid system to
create more negative axle torque to the wheels, helping the vehicle to maintain the correct speed.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) stores a target speed when the accelerator and brake are
released, if vehicle speed increases due to a hill, then additional negative wheel torque is added to
the PCMs wheel torque request.
The Hybrid Control Processor (HCP) follows the PCMs command and downshifts as required to
meet the negative torque request.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation Transmission Range Sensor Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
There are many possible combinations of open and closed switches (codes). This results in many
codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes. An invalid code will result in a
DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based on pressure switch data. This
allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

Temperature Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The transmission temperature sensor is used by the TCM to sense the temperature of the fluid in
the sump. Since fluid temperature can affect transmission shift quality, the TCM requires this
information to determine which shift schedule to operate in.
Calculated Temperature
A failure in the temperature sensor or circuit will result in calculated temperature being substituted
for actual temperature. Calculated temperature is a predicted fluid temperature which is calculated
from a combination of inputs:
- Battery (ambient) temperature.
- Engine coolant temperature.
- In-gear run time since start-up.

DESCRIPTION
The transfer case encoder (3) provides the Drive Train Control Module (DTCM) feedback about the
position of the transfer case. The sensor consists of a linear analog position sensor that converts
the motor output shaft position into a DC signal. The sensor may rotate a full 360 degrees. When
the DTCM is not in sleep mode, it must supply 5 VDC (+/- 0.5 v) to the sensor and monitor the shift
motor position. The sensor position is monitored when the ignition is in the RUN position and for 10
seconds after the ignition is turned to the OFF position. The sensor is mechanically linked to the
shaft of the cam allowing the transfer case to shift. The mode sensor draws less than 20 mA of
current during operation.

Transfer Case Actuator: Description and Operation Shift Motor - Description
DESCRIPTION
The overall function of the shift motor (1) is an electromechanical device consisting of a DC
permanent magnet motor and a position holding brake. The shift motors function is to move and
lock a gear that moves the range fork and clutch lever found in the transfer case. This allows the
transfer case to be shifted electrically to multiple operating positions (4WD AUTO, 4WD LOW and
2WD). The operating current of the shift motor under stall conditions is 30 amps maximum, at 22°
C (72° F) with 13.5 volts, at the motor leads.

Transfer Case Actuator > Component Information > Description and Operation > Shift Motor - Description > Page 5226
Transfer Case Actuator: Description and Operation Shift Motor - Operation
OPERATION
Shifting in the transfer case occurs when a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) voltage is supplied to
the shift motor (1) by the Final Drive Control Module (FDCM). A linear analog position sensor
(encoder) (3) located on the rear transfer case housing and provides the FDCM with the motor's
angular, rotational position. With this information, the FDCM continuously knows the position of the
motor, and therefore allows it to accurately control the operation of the motor, including voltage
polarity which is used to control motor direction.
The electronically controlled wet clutch pack uses an electric motor to actuate an internal gear
train, clutch cam, and low range barrel cam. The clutch cam actuates the clutch levers that apply
normal force to the multi-disc wet clutch pack. The clutch discs are alternately splined to the front
and rear outputs. When normal force is applied to this clutch pack, torque is transferred to equalize
speed differences between the front and rear axles.

Information > Description and Operation > Final Drive Control Module - Description > Page 5237
Control Module: Description and Operation Final Drive Control Module - Operation
OPERATION
POWER UP/DOWN
The Final Drive Control Module (FDCM) will power up with an OFF/ON transition of the hard wired
ignition switch input, or with the presence of active CAN C communications.
The FDCM will power down when the vehicle ignition switch transitions from ON to OFF, or there
are no CAN C messages, or there are no system requirements that dictate the controller to remain
active
START-UP DIAGNOSTICS
When the FDCM is activated, the internal circuitry will undergo a diagnostic procedure. The
controller will examine all inputs and outputs for short circuits to ground, short circuits to battery
and open circuits and will also verify proper CPU and memory operation. If a fault is detected, a
message will be sent out over the CAN C bus to the Cluster based Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) indicating that service is recommended.
After passing all diagnostic tests, the controller will receive and process inputs and produce the
appropriate outputs. Proper monitoring of the controller inputs and outputs performance will
continue.
INPUTS/OUTPUTS
The following are inputs to the FDCM:
- Lateral Accelerometer
- Transfer Case Mode Sensor Signal
- 3 Direct Battery Feeds
- Ignition RUN Sense
- Sensor Grounds
- Module Grounds
- CAN C Bus
The following are outputs of the FDCM:
- 5V Sensor Supply
- Transfer Case Bi-directional Motor Control (A AND B)
TRANSFER CASE MODE SENSOR SIGNAL
The Transfer Case Mode Sensor Signal Input will provide the FDCM feedback about the position of
the transfer case. The mode sensor will be a linear analog position sensor with a 1.4K +/- 20%
potentiometer and a 1 K +/- 20% resistor that converts the motor shaft position into a multiplexed
voltage.

SLIP CONTROL
Slip Control increases torque to the front axle when a relative slip is detected between the front and
the rear prop shafts.
Slip Control adjusts according to the vehicle speed and allows a permissible slip.
Utilizes a closed loop strategy for permissible slip and speed of engagement.
STABILITY CONTROL
Stability control modifies the torque request based upon the vehicle dynamics under the over-steer
and under-steer conditions.
It monitors the yaw rate and the lateral acceleration to modify the clutch capacity to bring the
vehicle back to a more neutral attitude.
Compensates for high load conditions by monitoring the vehicle acceleration and changing the
torque capacity.
REGENERATIVE BRAKING STRATEGY
During the event of regenerative braking the software splits the torque indicated by the signal axle
in a ratio of 47:53 front and rear respectively.
This torque split is to be modified to achieve optimum efficiency levels during a braking event.
MODES OF OPERATION
Normal Operation
This mode is achieved by the ignition being switched in the RUN position, which powers up the 5V
regulator and generates the appropriate RESET for the microprocessor. This mode also includes
any required power-up system checks.
Shut Down Mode
This mode is activated when the ignition switch turned to the off position. The FDCM will perform
any required Shut Down tasks prior to turning off the 5V regulator.
Limp-In Mode
This mode is entered when the FDCM has detected an error condition that prevents the system
from performing its' required task. The FDCM operation will vary depending from modified
operation to total system shut down based on the failure that has occurred.

DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems include:
engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and refrigerant. The only
exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle maintenance schedules, e.g. engine
coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has occurred
and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of
system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the original approved system
fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSE(R) approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with Mopar
Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all
deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the specified coolant and
distilled water.

4WD INDICATOR
A 4WD indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not
equipped with the optional four-wheel drive system and electronically shifted transfer case, this
indicator is electronically disabled. The 4WD indicator is located below the minor gauge set on the
left side of the cluster.
The 4WD indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text 4WD in the opaque layer of the
instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in
the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent
outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
When the exterior lighting is turned ON, the illumination intensity of the 4WD indicator is dimmable,
which is adjusted along with the cluster general illumination lighting using the panel lamps dimmer
thumbwheel on the headlamp switch.
The 4WD indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Four Wheel Drive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation 4WD Indicator - Operation
4WD INDICATOR
The 4WD indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the electronic transfer case has
been shifted into a 4WD mode. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster
circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster
from the Front Control Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The 4WD indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED will
always be off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the 4WD indicator for the following reasons:
- 4WD Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic 4WD indicator
lamp-on message from the FCM, the indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated until
the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the FCM, or until the ignition switch is turned to the
OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the 4WD indicator will be turned ON,
then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and
the cluster control circuitry.
The FCM continually monitors the electronic transfer case through the transfer case shift
motor/mode sensor assembly to determine when the 4WD mode is engaged. The FCM then sends
the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the instrument cluster also known as the Cab
Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the 4WD indicator or the instrument cluster
circuitry that controls the LED, See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Instrument
Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the transfer case shift motor/mode sensor, the
FCM, the CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to 4WD indicator
operation. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

DESCRIPTION
The transfer case encoder (3) provides the Drive Train Control Module (DTCM) feedback about the
position of the transfer case. The sensor consists of a linear analog position sensor that converts
the motor output shaft position into a DC signal. The sensor may rotate a full 360 degrees. When
the DTCM is not in sleep mode, it must supply 5 VDC (+/- 0.5 v) to the sensor and monitor the shift
motor position. The sensor position is monitored when the ignition is in the RUN position and for 10
seconds after the ignition is turned to the OFF position. The sensor is mechanically linked to the
shaft of the cam allowing the transfer case to shift. The mode sensor draws less than 20 mA of
current during operation.

Gear Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Mode Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
During normal vehicle operation, the DTCM monitors the mode sensor outputs at least every 2
milliseconds when the shift motor is stationary or active. The mode sensor position will be
considered invalid by the DTCM if the voltage is greater than 4.75 V or if it is less than 0.25 V.
NOTE: All the parameter voltages referred to in the following information are calibrated items in the
controller software and are subject to
change.
The DTCM shall consider Transfer Case position based on the MODE SENSOR VOLTAGES table

Malfunction Indicator Lamp - Transfer Case: Description and Operation Service 4WD Indicator Operation
OPERATION
The service 4WD indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the Front Control
Module (FCM) has recorded a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for an electronic transfer case
circuit or component malfunction. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument
cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the
cluster from the FCM over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The service 4WD indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED is always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the service 4WD indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the ON position the service 4WD indicator is
illuminated for about two seconds as a bulb test.
- Service 4WD Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic service
4WD indicator lamp-on message from the FCM, the service 4WD indicator illuminates. The
indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the FCM, or until
the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-ON or lamp-off messages from the FCM for
10 seconds, the service 4WD indicator is illuminated by the cluster to indicate a loss of FCM
communication. The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid
message is received from the FCM.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the service 4WD indicator turns on,
then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and
the cluster control circuitry.
The FCM continually monitors the electronic transfer case control circuits and transfer case shift
motor/mode sensor assembly to determine the condition of the system. The FCM then sends the
proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab
Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the service 4WD indicator or the instrument
cluster circuitry that controls the LED, See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning
Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the FCM, the CCN, the CAN data bus or the
electronic communication related to service 4WD indicator operation. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the
translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is
soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The service 4WD indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp - Transfer Case: Description and Operation Service 4WD Indicator Operation
OPERATION
The service 4WD indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the Front Control
Module (FCM) has recorded a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for an electronic transfer case
circuit or component malfunction. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument
cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the
cluster from the FCM over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The service 4WD indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED is always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the service 4WD indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the ON position the service 4WD indicator is
illuminated for about two seconds as a bulb test.
- Service 4WD Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic service
4WD indicator lamp-on message from the FCM, the service 4WD indicator illuminates. The
indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the FCM, or until
the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-ON or lamp-off messages from the FCM for
10 seconds, the service 4WD indicator is illuminated by the cluster to indicate a loss of FCM
communication. The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid
message is received from the FCM.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the service 4WD indicator turns on,
then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and
the cluster control circuitry.
The FCM continually monitors the electronic transfer case control circuits and transfer case shift
motor/mode sensor assembly to determine the condition of the system. The FCM then sends the
proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab
Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the service 4WD indicator or the instrument
cluster circuitry that controls the LED, See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning
Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the FCM, the CCN, the CAN data bus or the
electronic communication related to service 4WD indicator operation. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

Control Module: Description and Operation Final Drive Control Module - Operation
OPERATION
POWER UP/DOWN
The Final Drive Control Module (FDCM) will power up with an OFF/ON transition of the hard wired
ignition switch input, or with the presence of active CAN C communications.
The FDCM will power down when the vehicle ignition switch transitions from ON to OFF, or there
are no CAN C messages, or there are no system requirements that dictate the controller to remain
active
START-UP DIAGNOSTICS
When the FDCM is activated, the internal circuitry will undergo a diagnostic procedure. The
controller will examine all inputs and outputs for short circuits to ground, short circuits to battery
and open circuits and will also verify proper CPU and memory operation. If a fault is detected, a
message will be sent out over the CAN C bus to the Cluster based Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) indicating that service is recommended.
After passing all diagnostic tests, the controller will receive and process inputs and produce the
appropriate outputs. Proper monitoring of the controller inputs and outputs performance will
continue.
INPUTS/OUTPUTS
The following are inputs to the FDCM:
- Lateral Accelerometer
- Transfer Case Mode Sensor Signal
- 3 Direct Battery Feeds
- Ignition RUN Sense
- Sensor Grounds
- Module Grounds
- CAN C Bus
The following are outputs of the FDCM:
- 5V Sensor Supply
- Transfer Case Bi-directional Motor Control (A AND B)
TRANSFER CASE MODE SENSOR SIGNAL
The Transfer Case Mode Sensor Signal Input will provide the FDCM feedback about the position of
the transfer case. The mode sensor will be a linear analog position sensor with a 1.4K +/- 20%
potentiometer and a 1 K +/- 20% resistor that converts the motor shaft position into a multiplexed
voltage.

SLIP CONTROL
Slip Control increases torque to the front axle when a relative slip is detected between the front and
the rear prop shafts.
Slip Control adjusts according to the vehicle speed and allows a permissible slip.
Utilizes a closed loop strategy for permissible slip and speed of engagement.
STABILITY CONTROL
Stability control modifies the torque request based upon the vehicle dynamics under the over-steer
and under-steer conditions.
It monitors the yaw rate and the lateral acceleration to modify the clutch capacity to bring the
vehicle back to a more neutral attitude.
Compensates for high load conditions by monitoring the vehicle acceleration and changing the
torque capacity.
REGENERATIVE BRAKING STRATEGY
During the event of regenerative braking the software splits the torque indicated by the signal axle
in a ratio of 47:53 front and rear respectively.
This torque split is to be modified to achieve optimum efficiency levels during a braking event.
MODES OF OPERATION
Normal Operation
This mode is achieved by the ignition being switched in the RUN position, which powers up the 5V
regulator and generates the appropriate RESET for the microprocessor. This mode also includes
any required power-up system checks.
Shut Down Mode
This mode is activated when the ignition switch turned to the off position. The FDCM will perform
any required Shut Down tasks prior to turning off the 5V regulator.
Limp-In Mode
This mode is entered when the FDCM has detected an error condition that prevents the system
from performing its' required task. The FDCM operation will vary depending from modified
operation to total system shut down based on the failure that has occurred.

DESCRIPTION
The transfer case encoder (3) provides the Drive Train Control Module (DTCM) feedback about the
position of the transfer case. The sensor consists of a linear analog position sensor that converts
the motor output shaft position into a DC signal. The sensor may rotate a full 360 degrees. When
the DTCM is not in sleep mode, it must supply 5 VDC (+/- 0.5 v) to the sensor and monitor the shift
motor position. The sensor position is monitored when the ignition is in the RUN position and for 10
seconds after the ignition is turned to the OFF position. The sensor is mechanically linked to the
shaft of the cam allowing the transfer case to shift. The mode sensor draws less than 20 mA of
current during operation.

Transfer Case Actuator: Description and Operation Shift Motor - Description
DESCRIPTION
The overall function of the shift motor (1) is an electromechanical device consisting of a DC
permanent magnet motor and a position holding brake. The shift motors function is to move and
lock a gear that moves the range fork and clutch lever found in the transfer case. This allows the
transfer case to be shifted electrically to multiple operating positions (4WD AUTO, 4WD LOW and
2WD). The operating current of the shift motor under stall conditions is 30 amps maximum, at 22°
C (72° F) with 13.5 volts, at the motor leads.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Transfer Case > Transfer Case Actuator > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Shift Motor - Description > Page 5350
Transfer Case Actuator: Description and Operation Shift Motor - Operation
OPERATION
Shifting in the transfer case occurs when a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) voltage is supplied to
the shift motor (1) by the Final Drive Control Module (FDCM). A linear analog position sensor
(encoder) (3) located on the rear transfer case housing and provides the FDCM with the motor's
angular, rotational position. With this information, the FDCM continuously knows the position of the
motor, and therefore allows it to accurately control the operation of the motor, including voltage
polarity which is used to control motor direction.
The electronically controlled wet clutch pack uses an electric motor to actuate an internal gear
train, clutch cam, and low range barrel cam. The clutch cam actuates the clutch levers that apply
normal force to the multi-disc wet clutch pack. The clutch discs are alternately splined to the front
and rear outputs. When normal force is applied to this clutch pack, torque is transferred to equalize
speed differences between the front and rear axles.

Transfer Case Actuator: Description and Operation Shift Motor - Description
DESCRIPTION
The overall function of the shift motor (1) is an electromechanical device consisting of a DC
permanent magnet motor and a position holding brake. The shift motors function is to move and
lock a gear that moves the range fork and clutch lever found in the transfer case. This allows the
transfer case to be shifted electrically to multiple operating positions (4WD AUTO, 4WD LOW and
2WD). The operating current of the shift motor under stall conditions is 30 amps maximum, at 22°
C (72° F) with 13.5 volts, at the motor leads.

Transfer Case Actuator: Description and Operation Shift Motor - Operation
OPERATION
Shifting in the transfer case occurs when a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) voltage is supplied to
the shift motor (1) by the Final Drive Control Module (FDCM). A linear analog position sensor
(encoder) (3) located on the rear transfer case housing and provides the FDCM with the motor's
angular, rotational position. With this information, the FDCM continuously knows the position of the
motor, and therefore allows it to accurately control the operation of the motor, including voltage
polarity which is used to control motor direction.
The electronically controlled wet clutch pack uses an electric motor to actuate an internal gear
train, clutch cam, and low range barrel cam. The clutch cam actuates the clutch levers that apply
normal force to the multi-disc wet clutch pack. The clutch discs are alternately splined to the front
and rear outputs. When normal force is applied to this clutch pack, torque is transferred to equalize
speed differences between the front and rear axles.

Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Tow/Haul Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A tow/haul indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The tow/haul indicator is
located below the minor gauge set on the left side of the cluster.
The tow/haul indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text TOW/HAUL in the opaque layer of
the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in
the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent
outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
When the exterior lighting is turned ON, the illumination intensity of the tow/haul indicator is
dimmable, which is adjusted along with the cluster general illumination lighting using the panel
lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the headlamp switch.
The tow/haul indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Tow/Haul Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The tow/haul indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the tow/haul function switch
has been selected, revising the shift schedule of the electronically controlled automatic
transmission. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board
based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The tow/haul indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED is
always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the tow/haul indicator for the following reasons:
- Tow/Haul Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic tow/haul
indicator lamp-on message from the PCM indicating that the tow/haul shift schedule has been
selected, the indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a
lamp-off message from the PCM, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position,
whichever occurs first.
- self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the tow/haul indicator turns on, then
off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the
cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the tow/haul switch to determine the proper outputs to the automatic
transmission. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the instrument
cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the tow/haul
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, See: Instrument Panel, Gauges
and Warning Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the transmission control system, the PCM, the
CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to tow/haul indicator operation.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

RFE - RLE TRANSMISSIONS
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) is a sub-module within the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM is located on the right inner fender.
EVT AHS-T TRANSMISSION
TEHCM MOUNTING BOLTS
On vehicles equipped with the AHS-T HEV transmission the TCM is imbedded into the
Transmission Electronic Hydraulic Control Module (TECHM) that is mounted to the valve body and
is not serviceable, the unit must be replaced.

Operation > Transmission Control Module - Description > Page 5410
Control Module: Description and Operation Transmission Control Module - Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) controls all electronic operations of the transmission. The
TCM receives information regarding vehicle operation from both direct and indirect inputs, and
selects the operational mode of the transmission. Direct inputs are hard wired to, and used
specifically by the TCM. Indirect inputs are shared with the TCM via the vehicle communication
bus.
Some examples of direct inputs to the TCM are:
- Battery (B+) voltage
- Ignition "ON" voltage
- Transmission Control Relay (Switched B+) (if equipped)
- Throttle Position Sensor
- Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Transmission Range Sensor
- Pressure Switches
- Transmission Temperature Sensor
- Input Shaft Speed Sensor
- Output Shaft Speed Sensor
- Line Pressure Sensor
Some examples of indirect inputs to the TCM are:
- Engine/Body Identification
- Manifold Pressure
- Target Idle
- Torque Reduction Confirmation
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Ambient/Battery Temperature
- Scan Tool 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
- Torque Reduction Request
Some examples of TCM indirect outputs are:
- Transmission Temperature (to PCM)
- PRNDL Position (to cluster/CCN)
In addition to monitoring inputs and controlling outputs, the TCM has other important
responsibilities and functions:
- Storing and maintaining Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI)
- Storing and selecting appropriate Shift Schedules
- System self-diagnostics
- Diagnostic capabilities (with scan tool)
NOTE: If the TCM has been replaced, the "Quick Learn Procedure" must be performed. See:
Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning/TCM Quick Learn
BATTERY FEED
A fused, direct battery feed to the TCM is used for continuous power. This battery voltage is
necessary to retain memory in the TCM. When the battery (B+) is disconnected, this memory is
lost. When the battery (B+) is restored, this memory loss is detected by the TCM and a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) is set.
CLUTCH VOLUME INDEXES (CVI)
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Transmission Control Systems > Relays and Modules Transmission and Drivetrain > Relays and Modules - A/T > Control Module, A/T > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Transmission Control Module - Description > Page 5411
An important function of the TCM is to monitor Clutch Volume Indexes (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 transmission gear position. This is important
to the CVI calculation because the TCM determines CVIs by monitoring how long it takes for a gear
change to occur.
Gear ratios can be determined by using the 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 input clutch assembly can cause inadequate or
out-of-range element volumes. Also, defective Input/Output Speed Sensors and wiring can cause
these conditions. The following charts identifies the appropriate clutch volumes and when they are
monitored/updated:

SHIFT SCHEDULES
As mentioned earlier, the TCM has programming that allows it to select a variety of shift schedules.
Shift schedule selection is dependent on the following:
- Shift lever position
- Throttle position
- Engine load
- Fluid temperature
- Software level
As driving conditions change, the TCM appropriately adjusts the shift schedule. Refer to the
following chart to determine the appropriate operation expected, depending on driving conditions.

Control Module: Description and Operation Final Drive Control Module - Operation
OPERATION
POWER UP/DOWN
The Final Drive Control Module (FDCM) will power up with an OFF/ON transition of the hard wired
ignition switch input, or with the presence of active CAN C communications.
The FDCM will power down when the vehicle ignition switch transitions from ON to OFF, or there
are no CAN C messages, or there are no system requirements that dictate the controller to remain
active
START-UP DIAGNOSTICS
When the FDCM is activated, the internal circuitry will undergo a diagnostic procedure. The
controller will examine all inputs and outputs for short circuits to ground, short circuits to battery
and open circuits and will also verify proper CPU and memory operation. If a fault is detected, a
message will be sent out over the CAN C bus to the Cluster based Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) indicating that service is recommended.
After passing all diagnostic tests, the controller will receive and process inputs and produce the
appropriate outputs. Proper monitoring of the controller inputs and outputs performance will
continue.
INPUTS/OUTPUTS
The following are inputs to the FDCM:
- Lateral Accelerometer
- Transfer Case Mode Sensor Signal
- 3 Direct Battery Feeds
- Ignition RUN Sense
- Sensor Grounds
- Module Grounds
- CAN C Bus
The following are outputs of the FDCM:
- 5V Sensor Supply
- Transfer Case Bi-directional Motor Control (A AND B)
TRANSFER CASE MODE SENSOR SIGNAL
The Transfer Case Mode Sensor Signal Input will provide the FDCM feedback about the position of
the transfer case. The mode sensor will be a linear analog position sensor with a 1.4K +/- 20%
potentiometer and a 1 K +/- 20% resistor that converts the motor shaft position into a multiplexed
voltage.

SLIP CONTROL
Slip Control increases torque to the front axle when a relative slip is detected between the front and
the rear prop shafts.
Slip Control adjusts according to the vehicle speed and allows a permissible slip.
Utilizes a closed loop strategy for permissible slip and speed of engagement.
STABILITY CONTROL
Stability control modifies the torque request based upon the vehicle dynamics under the over-steer
and under-steer conditions.
It monitors the yaw rate and the lateral acceleration to modify the clutch capacity to bring the
vehicle back to a more neutral attitude.
Compensates for high load conditions by monitoring the vehicle acceleration and changing the
torque capacity.
REGENERATIVE BRAKING STRATEGY
During the event of regenerative braking the software splits the torque indicated by the signal axle
in a ratio of 47:53 front and rear respectively.
This torque split is to be modified to achieve optimum efficiency levels during a braking event.
MODES OF OPERATION
Normal Operation
This mode is achieved by the ignition being switched in the RUN position, which powers up the 5V
regulator and generates the appropriate RESET for the microprocessor. This mode also includes
any required power-up system checks.
Shut Down Mode
This mode is activated when the ignition switch turned to the off position. The FDCM will perform
any required Shut Down tasks prior to turning off the 5V regulator.
Limp-In Mode
This mode is entered when the FDCM has detected an error condition that prevents the system
from performing its' required task. The FDCM operation will vary depending from modified
operation to total system shut down based on the failure that has occurred.

Overdrive Switch: Description and Operation Overdrive Lockout Switch - Operation
OPERATION
Tow/haul is only used in the D position. When used while towing, the electronic control module
(ECU) commands hybrid system to create more positive axle torque to the wheels. When used
while coasting downhill and the vehicle gains speed, the ECU commands the hybrid system to
create more negative axle torque to the wheels, helping the vehicle to maintain the correct speed.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) stores a target speed when the accelerator and brake are
released, if vehicle speed increases due to a hill, then additional negative wheel torque is added to
the PCMs wheel torque request.
The Hybrid Control Processor (HCP) follows the PCMs command and downshifts as required to
meet the negative torque request.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation Transmission Range Sensor Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
There are many possible combinations of open and closed switches (codes). This results in many
codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes. An invalid code will result in a
DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based on pressure switch data. This
allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

information to determine which shift schedule to operate in.
Calculated Temperature
A failure in the temperature sensor or circuit will result in calculated temperature being substituted
for actual temperature. Calculated temperature is a predicted fluid temperature which is calculated
from a combination of inputs:
- Battery (ambient) temperature.
- Engine coolant temperature.
- In-gear run time since start-up.

DESCRIPTION
The transfer case encoder (3) provides the Drive Train Control Module (DTCM) feedback about the
position of the transfer case. The sensor consists of a linear analog position sensor that converts
the motor output shaft position into a DC signal. The sensor may rotate a full 360 degrees. When
the DTCM is not in sleep mode, it must supply 5 VDC (+/- 0.5 v) to the sensor and monitor the shift
motor position. The sensor position is monitored when the ignition is in the RUN position and for 10
seconds after the ignition is turned to the OFF position. The sensor is mechanically linked to the
shaft of the cam allowing the transfer case to shift. The mode sensor draws less than 20 mA of
current during operation.

ABS Light: Description and Operation ABS Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
An Antilock Brake System (ABS) indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This
indicator serves both the standard equipment Rear Wheel Anti-Lock (RWAL) and optional
equipment 4-Wheel Anti-Lock (4WAL) brake systems. This indicator is located near the upper edge
of the instrument cluster, between the tachometer and the speedometer.
The ABS indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol
icon for Failure of Anti-lock Braking System in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay.
The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The ABS indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Component Information > Description and Operation > ABS Indicator - Description > Page 5503
ABS Light: Description and Operation ABS Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The ABS indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the ABS system, or a circuit or
component of the system is ineffective. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument
cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the
cluster from the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The ABS indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED is
always be off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the ABS indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the ON position the ABS indicator illuminates for
about four seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the CAB.
- ABS Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic ABS indicator
lamp-on message from the CAB, the ABS indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated
until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the CAB, or until the ignition switch turns to the
OFF position, whichever occurs first.
Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-on or lamp-off messages from the CAB for
five consecutive message cycles, the ABS indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated
until the cluster receives a valid message from the CAB, or until the ignition switch turns to the OFF
position, whichever occurs first.
- Self Test - Each time the instrument cluster is put through the self test, the ABS indicator turns on,
then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and
the cluster control circuitry.
- ABS Diagnostic Test - The ABS indicator blinks on and off by lamp-on and lamp-off messages
from the CAB during the performance of the ABS diagnostic tests.
The CAB continually monitors the ABS circuits and sensors to decide whether the system is in
good operating condition. The CAB then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the
instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). If the CAB sends a lamp-on
message after the bulb test, it indicates that the CAB has detected a system malfunction or that the
ABS system has become ineffective. The CAB stores a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any
malfunction it detects. Each time the ABS indicator fails to light due to an open or short in the
cluster ABS indicator circuit, the cluster sends a message notifying the CAB of the condition, then
the instrument cluster and the CAB each store a DTC.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the antilock brake system, the CAB, the CCN,
the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to ABS indicator operation. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

SYSTEM SELF-TEST
When the ignition switch is turned-on the microprocessor is tested. If an error occurs during the
test, a DTC will be set into the memory. However it is possible the DTC will not be stored in
memory if the error has occurred in the module were the DTC's are stored.
The ABM contains a self check program that illuminates the ABS warning light when a system fault
is detected. Faults are stored in memory and are accessible with the scan tool.
ABS faults remain in memory until cleared, or until after the vehicle is started approximately 50
times. Stored faults are not erased if the battery is disconnected.
ABM INPUTS
The ABM continuously monitors the speed of the vehicle by monitoring signals generated by the
wheel speed sensors. The ABM determines a wheel locking tendency when it recognizes the axle
is decelerating too rapidly. The ABM monitors the following inputs to determine when a wheel
locking tendency may exists:
- Wheel Speed Sensors
- Brake Lamp Switch
- Brake Fluid Level Sensor (CAN C BUS)
- G-Sensor (4X4)

DESCRIPTION
The HCU consists of a valve body, pump motor, low pressure accumulators, inlet valves, outlet
valves and noise attenuators.

Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Description and Operation Hydraulic Control unit
(HCU) - Operation
OPERATION
Accumulators in the valve body store extra fluid released from the calipers during ABS mode
operation. The pump is used to clear the accumulator of brake fluid and is operated by a DC type
motor. The motor is controlled by the ABM. The valves modulate brake pressure during antilock
braking and are controlled by the ABM. The HCU provides individual pressure control to each front
and rear brake.
During antilock braking, the solenoid valves are opened and closed as needed. They are cycled
rapidly and continuously to modulate pressure and control wheel slip and deceleration. Brake
Traction Control and Electronic Stability Program modulate pressure on each wheel individually
without any driver brake input.
During normal braking, the HCU solenoid valves and pump are not activated. The master cylinder
and power booster operate the same as a vehicle without an ABS brake system. During antilock
braking, solenoid valve pressure modulation occurs in three stages; pressure increase, pressure
hold, and pressure decrease. The valves are all contained in the valve body portion of the HCU.
PRESSURE DECREASE
The outlet valve is opened and the inlet valve is closed during the pressure decrease cycle.
A pressure decrease cycle is initiated when speed sensor signals indicate high wheel slip at one or
more wheels. At this point, the ABM closes the inlet then opens the outlet valve, which also opens
the return circuit to the accumulators. Fluid pressure is allowed to bleed off (decrease) as needed
to prevent wheel lock.
Once the period of high wheel slip has ended, the ABM closes the outlet valve and begins a
pressure increase or hold cycle as needed.
PRESSURE HOLD
Both solenoid valves are closed in the pressure hold cycle but only the inlet valve is energized.
Fluid apply pressure in the control channel is maintained at a constant rate. The ABM maintains the
hold cycle until sensor inputs indicate a pressure change is necessary.
PRESSURE INCREASE
The inlet valve is open and the outlet valve is closed during the pressure increase cycle. The
pressure increase cycle is used to reapply thew brakes. This cycle controls re-application of fluid
apply pressure.

Traction Control Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation ESP With BAS Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
An Electronic Stability Program/Brake Assist System (ESP/BAS) indicator is standard equipment
on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located in the center of the speedometer, in the area
below and to the left of the speedometer needle hub.
The ESP/BAS indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text ESP BAS in the opaque layer of
the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in
the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent
outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The ESP/BAS indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Traction Control Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation ESP With BAS Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The ESP/BAS indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when a problem has been
detected in the Electronic Stability Program (ESP)/Brake Assist System (BAS). This indicator is
controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming
and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB) and the
Front Control Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The ESP/BAS indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED is always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster will turn on the ESP/BAS indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the on position the ESP/BAS indicator
illuminates for about four seconds as a bulb test.
- ESP/BAS Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic ESP/BAS
indicator lamp-on message from the CAB or the FCM, the ESP/BAS indicator illuminates. The
indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the CAB or FCM,
or until the ignition switch is turned to the off position, whichever occurs first.
self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the ESP/BAS indicator turns on, then
off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the
cluster control circuitry.
The CAB and FCM continually monitor the ESP/BAS system circuits and sensors to decide
whether the system is in good operating condition and the proper outputs to the components of the
system. The CAB or FCM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-off message to the instrument
cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN).
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the ESP/BAS system, the CAB, the FCM, the
CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to ESP/BAS indicator operation.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

The CAB continually monitors the status of the inputs to the ESP/BAS/TCS systems to determine
the proper outputs to the components of the Antilock Brake System (ABS). The CAB then sends
the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab
Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the traction control indicator or the instrument
cluster circuitry that controls the indicator, See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning
Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the ESP/BAS/TCS, the CAB, the CCN, the CAN
data bus or the electronic communication related to traction control indicator operation. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
OPERATION
The sensors convert wheel speed into a digital signal. The ABM sends 12 volts to the sensors. The
sensor has an internal hall sensor that alters the voltage and amperage of the signal circuit. This
voltage and amperage is changed by magnetic induction when the toothed tone wheel passes the
wheel speed sensor. This digital signal is sent to the ABM. The ABM measures the voltage and
amperage of the digital signal for each wheel.
The signal strength is affected by the distance between the Sensor and the tone ring. If the "Air
Gap" between the WSS and the tone ring/wheel is too large, the WSS signal can drop out at low
speed, (below 40 mph) and can cause an ABS activation.

DESCRIPTION
STANDARD PEDALS
NOTE: The brake pedal is serviced as a complete assembly including the bracket.
A suspended-type brake pedal (5) is used. The pedal is attached to the pedal support bracket (4)
with a pivot shaft pin (2), bushings (3) and clips (1). If the bushings (3) become dry a spray
lubricant can be used to eliminate noises. The booster push rod is attached to the pedal with a clip.
The pedal (5), bushings (3), pivot pin (2) and support bracket (4) are not serviceable components.
ADJUSTABLE PEDALS - WITHOUT 5.7L HEV
NOTE: The non HEV adjustable pedal assembly can be serviced in 5 sub components as listed
below.
NOTE: When replacing the components both pedal assemblies must be in the fully down position
toward the floor for proper adjustment.
Pedals can be moved manually by rotating the cable on the component not being replaced. New
components come in the correct position until activated.
The adjustable brake pedal assembly is similar to the standard brake pedal assembly with
additional components necessary for pedal adjustment. Sub components may be replaced
separately. Replaceable sub components are as follows:

Brake Pedal Assy: Description and Operation Brake and/or Accelerator Pedals - Operation
OPERATION
WITHOUT 5.7L HEV
The brake pedal is attached to the booster push rod. When the pedal is depressed, the primary
booster push rod will move the booster secondary rod. The booster secondary rod will then
depress the master cylinder piston, and the brakes will apply.
WITH 5.7L HEV
NOTE: The brake pedal assembly and it's components are serviced as an assembly only. The
master cylinder may be replaced separately or as
a unit with the active brake booster.
The brake pedal is attached to the booster primary push rod which is not directly connected to the
booster secondary push rod. Instead, there is a pedal simulator assembly (2) which consists of a
pedal simulator cut off solenoid (3) and a pedal simulator (4 ) which creates normal pedal feel
during braking maneuvers. When there is a brake pedal application the pedal simulator creates
pressure against the pedal while the transmission motors actually slow the vehicle, and in turn
charge the 300V batteries. This is called regenerative braking.
When the brake pedal is depressed with a specific predetermined force/rate the booster will assist
with normal brakes without the booster push rod connecting.
Under an emergency stop or a system fault the pedal simulator cut off solenoid will deactivate the
simulator and allow the booster push rod to connect directly to the pedal. Under this condition the
brake pedal will have slightly longer travel to allow direct contact with the booster push rod. For
more information on regenerative braking See: Antilock Brakes / Traction Control
Systems/Description and Operation/Brakes - Operation.
Below is a brief explanation of the components of the brake pedal assembly that is unique to the
5.7L HEV:
- BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLYThe brake pedal assembly consists of the pedal bracket and all
components as described below.
- BRAKE PEDAL ANGLE (BPA) SENSORThe BPA sensor has two signal circuits to the ABS
module to accurately monitor the brake demand. One signal circuit increases voltage and the other
signal circuit decreases voltage when the brakes are applied.
- BRAKE PEDAL SIMULATORThe brake pedal simulator consists of linkage that compresses a coil
spring and rubber bumper (internally) to absorb the brake pedal input without mechanically
pressing the brake master cylinder push rod. This process preserves brake pedal feel and allows
regenerative braking.
- BRAKE PEDAL SIMULATOR CUT OFF SOLENOID (WITH PRESSURE SENSOR)The brake
pedal simulator cut off solenoid is used to engage or disengage the pedal feel simulator and is
controlled by the ABS module. Internal to the cut off solenoid are two small hydraulic chambers
with spring loaded diaphragms that have an electronic solenoid in the fluid passage between the
chambers that closes when activated. When energized the brake pedal feel simulator operates and
when not energized the brake pedal feel simulator is deactivated. If voltage is lost to the cut off
solenoid it defaults to deactivated and normal vacuum assisted braking remains. If the brake pedal
feel simulator is deactivated the brake pedal travel will increase. The pressure sensor which is part
of the brake pedal simulator cut off solenoid has a variable signal to the ABS module to determine
how hard the brake pedal is being depressed.

Brake Warning Indicator: Description and Operation Brake/Parking Brake Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A brake indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located in the
center of the speedometer, in the area below and right of the speedometer needle hub.
The brake indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the word BRAKE (all clusters with a
miles-per-hour primary speedometer scale), or the International Control and Display Symbol icon
for Brake Failure (all clusters with a kilometers-per-hour primary scale) in the opaque layer of the
instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the
opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer
layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The brake indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Brake Warning Indicator: Description and Operation Brake/Parking Brake Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The brake indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the parking brake is applied,
when there are certain brake hydraulic system malfunctions as indicated by a low brake hydraulic
fluid level condition, or when the brake fluid level switch is disconnected. The brake indicator can
also give an indication when certain faults are detected in the Antilock Brake System (ABS). This
indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster
programming, electronic messages received by the cluster from the Controller Antilock Brake
(CAB) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus, and a hard wired input from the park
brake switch.
The brake indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED is
always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the brake indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the ON position the brake indicator illuminates
for about four seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the CAB.
- Brake Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic brake indicator
lamp-on message from the CAB, the brake indicator illuminates. The CAB may also send lamp-on
messages as feedback during ABS diagnostic procedures. The indicator remains illuminated until
the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the CAB, or until the ignition switch is turned to the
OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Park Brake Switch Input - Each time the cluster detects ground on the park brake switch sense
circuit (park brake switch closed = park brake applied or not fully released) while the ignition switch
is in the ON position, the brake indicator flashes on and off. The indicator continues to flash until
the park brake switch sense input to the cluster is an open circuit (park brake switch open = park
brake fully released), or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs
first.
- Self Test - Each time the instrument cluster is put through the self test, the brake indicator turns
on, then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED
and the cluster control circuitry.
The park brake switch on the park brake pedal mechanism provides a hardwired ground input to
the instrument cluster circuitry through the park brake switch sense circuit whenever the park brake
is applied or not fully released. The CAB continually monitors the ABS system circuits and sensors,
including the brake fluid level switch on the brake master cylinder reservoir, to decide whether the
system is in good operating condition. The CAB then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off
message to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). If the CAB
sends a lamp-on message after the bulb test, it indicates that the CAB has detected a brake
hydraulic system malfunction or that the ABS system has become ineffective. The CAB stores a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any malfunction it detects.
For further diagnosis of the brake indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED,
See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and
Inspection. Use conventional diagnostic tools and procedures for the hardwired park brake switch
input to the instrument cluster. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. Use a diagnostic scan
tool for proper diagnosis of the brake fluid level switch, the ABS, the CAB, the CCN, the CAN data
bus or the electronic communication related to brake indicator operation. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

Brake Warning Indicator: Description and Operation Regenerative Brake Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A Regenerative Brake System (RBS) indicator is only found in the instrument clusters of vehicles
equipped with the optional Hybrid Electrical Vehicle (HEV) system. This indicator is located below
the minor gauge set on the left side of the cluster.
The RBS indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol
icon for Failure of Anti-lock Braking System in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay,
but with the letter R replacing the letter A in the ABS acronym. The dark outer layer of the overlay
prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting
Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in
amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the
LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The RBS indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Brake Warning Indicator: Description and Operation Regenerative Brake Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The Regenerative Brake System (RBS) indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when
the RBS system, or a circuit or component of the system is ineffective. This indicator is controlled
by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and
electronic messages received by the cluster from the Regenerative Brake Controller (RBC) (also
known as the Controller Antilock Brake/CAB) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The RBS indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED is
always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the RBS indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turns to the on position the RBS indicator is illuminated
for about four seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the RBC.
- RBS Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic RBS indicator
lamp-on message from the RBC, the RBS indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated
until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the RBC, or until the ignition switch turns to the
OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-on or lamp-off messages from the RBC for
five consecutive message cycles, the RBS indicator is illuminated. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a valid message from the RBC, or until the ignition switch is
turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Self Test - Each time the instrument cluster is put through the self test, the RBS indicator turns
on, then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED
and the cluster control circuitry.
- RBS Diagnostic Test - The RBS indicator is blinked on and off by lamp-on and lamp-off messages
from the RBC during the performance of the RBS diagnostic tests.
The RBC continually monitors the RBS circuits and sensors to decide whether the system is in
good operating condition. The RBC then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the
instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). If the RBC sends a lamp-on
message after the bulb test, it indicates that the RBC has detected a system malfunction or that the
RBS system has become ineffective. The RBC stores a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any
malfunction it detects. Each time the RBS indicator fails to light due to an open or short in the
cluster RBS indicator circuit, the cluster sends a message notifying the RBC of the condition, then
the instrument cluster and the RBC will each store a DTC.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the regenerative brake system, the RBC, the
CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to RBS indicator operation. Refer
to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Brake Warning Indicator: Testing and Inspection
BRAKE INDICATOR
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before
attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or
instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery
(ground) cable. Wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further
diagnosis or service. On vehicles equipped with the optional Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system,
a technician trained in proper HEV service safety procedures must also remove the high voltage
service disconnect from the high voltage battery pack. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS.
Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
The hardwired park brake switch input to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab
Compartment Node, (CCN) may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire harness 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.
However, conventional diagnostic methods may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the CCN,
the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB), the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus or the electronic
message inputs also used by the CCN to provide brake indicator operation. The most reliable,
efficient and accurate means to diagnose the CCN, the CAB, the CAN data bus or the electronic
communication related to brake indicator operation, requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Brake Caliper: Description and Operation Disc Brake Caliper - Description
DESCRIPTION
The calipers are a single piston type in the rear and dual piston type in the front. The calipers are
free to slide laterally, this allows continuous compensation for lining wear.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Caliper > Component Information >
Description and Operation > Disc Brake Caliper - Description > Page 5638
Brake Caliper: Description and Operation Disc Brake Caliper - Operation
OPERATION
When the brakes are applied fluid pressure is exerted against the caliper piston (2). The fluid
pressure is exerted equally and in all directions. This means pressure exerted against the caliper
piston and within the caliper bore will be equal.
Fluid pressure applied to the piston is transmitted directly to the inboard brake pad (5). This forces
the pad lining against the inner surface of the disc brake rotor. At the same time, fluid pressure
within the piston bore forces the caliper to slide inward on the mounting bolts. This action brings the
outboard brake pad lining (6) into contact with the outer surface of the disc brake rotor.
In summary, fluid pressure acting simultaneously on both piston and caliper, produces a strong
clamping action. When sufficient force is applied, friction will attempt to stop the rotors from turning
and bring the vehicle to a stop.
Application and release of the brake pedal generates only a very slight movement of the caliper
and piston. Upon release of the pedal, the caliper and piston return to a rest position. The brake
pads do not retract an appreciable distance from the rotor. In fact, clearance is usually at, or close
to zero. The reasons for this are to keep road debris from getting between the rotor and lining and
in wiping the rotor surface clear each revolution.
The caliper piston seal (4) controls the amount of piston (2) extension needed to compensate for
normal lining wear.
During brake application, the seal is deflected outward by fluid pressure and piston movement(6).
When the brakes (and fluid pressure) are released, the seal relaxes and retracts the piston (3).
The amount of piston retraction is determined by the amount of seal deflection. Generally the
amount is just enough to maintain contact between the piston and inboard brake pad.

Disc Brake Caliper - Cleaning
CLEANING
Clean the caliper components with clean brake fluid or brake clean only. Wipe the caliper and
piston dry with lint free towels or use low pressure compressed air.
CAUTION: Do not use gasoline, kerosene, paint thinner, or similar solvents. These products may
leave a residue that could damage the piston
and seal.
Disc Brake Caliper - Inspection
INSPECTION
The piston is made from a phenolic resin (plastic material) and should be smooth and clean.
The piston must be replaced if cracked or scored. Do not attempt to restore a scored piston surface
by sanding or polishing.
CAUTION: If the caliper piston is replaced, install the same type of piston in the caliper. Never
interchange phenolic resin and steel caliper
pistons. The pistons, seals, seal grooves, caliper bore and piston tolerances are different.
The bore can be lightly polished with a brake hone (3) to remove very minor surface imperfections.
The caliper should be replaced if the bore is severely corroded, rusted, scored, or if polishing would
increase bore diameter more than 0.025 mm (0.001 inch).

Brake Rotor/Disc: Testing and Inspection
DISC BRAKE ROTOR
The rotor braking surfaces should not be refinished unless necessary.
Light surface rust and scale can be removed with a lathe equipped with dual sanding discs. The
rotor surfaces can be restored by machining with a disc brake lathe if surface scoring and wear are
light.
Replace the rotor for the following conditions:
- Severely Scored
- Tapered
- Hard Spots
- Cracked
- Below Minimum Thickness
ROTOR MINIMUM THICKNESS
Measure rotor thickness at the center of the brake shoe contact surface. Replace the rotor if below
minimum thickness, or if machining would reduce thickness below the allowable minimum.
Rotor minimum thickness is usually specified on the rotor hub. The specification is either stamped
or cast into the hub surface.
ROTOR RUNOUT
Check rotor lateral runout with dial indicator C-3339A. Excessive lateral runout will cause brake
pedal pulsation and rapid, uneven wear of the brake shoes. Position the dial indicator plunger
approximately 25.4 mm (1 in.) inward from the rotor edge.
NOTE: Be sure wheel bearing has zero end play before checking rotor runout.
Maximum allowable rotor runout is 0.131 mm (0.002 in.).
ROTOR THICKNESS VARIATION
Variations in rotor thickness will cause pedal pulsation, noise and shudder.
Measure rotor thickness at 6 to 12 points around the rotor face.
Position the micrometer approximately 25.4 mm (1 in.) from the rotor outer circumference for each
measurement.
Thickness should not vary by more than 0.015 mm (0.0059 in.) from point-to-point on the rotor.
Machine or replace the rotor if necessary.

Brake Rotor Machining
DISC BRAKE ROTOR MACHINING
NOTE: A hub mounted on-vehicle lathe is highly recommended. This type of lathe trues the rotor to
the vehicles hub/bearing.
The disc brake rotor can be machined if scored or worn. The on-vehicle lathe must machine both
sides of the rotor simultaneously with dual cutter heads. The rotor mounting surface must be clean
before placing on the on-vehicle lathe. Equipment capable of machining only one side at a time
may produce a tapered rotor This type of rotor machining is not recommended.
NOTE: Proper wheel torque is also critical to help prevent any warping of the disc brake rotor.
CAUTION: Brake rotors that do not meet minimum thickness specifications before or after
machining must be replaced.
Brake Drum in Hat Rotor Machining
BRAKE DRUM IN HAT ROTOR MACHINING
The brake drum in hat rotor can be machined on a drum lathe when necessary. Initial machining
cuts should be limited to 0.12 - 0.20 mm (0.005 - 0.008 in.) at a time as heavier feed rates can
produce taper and surface variation. Final finish cuts of 0.025 to 0.038 mm (0.001 to 0.0015 in.) are
recommended and will generally provide the best surface finish.
Be sure the drum in hat rotor is securely mounted in the lathe before machining operations. A
damper strap should always be used around the drum to reduce vibration and avoid chatter marks.
The maximum allowable diameter of the drum braking surface is stamped or cast into the drum in
hat rotor.
CAUTION: Replace the drum in hat rotor if machining will cause the drum to exceed the maximum
allowable diameter.

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Manual Brake Bleeding
MANUAL BLEEDING
Use Mopar brake fluid, or an equivalent quality fluid meeting SAE J1703-F and DOT 3 standards
only. Use fresh, clean fluid from a sealed container at all times.
1. Remove reservoir filler caps and fill reservoir. 2. If calipers were overhauled, open all caliper
bleed screws. Then close each bleed screw as fluid starts to drip from it. Top off master cylinder
reservoir once more before proceeding.
3. Attach one end of bleed hose (1) to bleed screw and insert opposite end in glass container (2)
partially filled with brake fluid. Be sure end of bleed
hose is immersed in fluid.
NOTE: Bleed procedure should be in this order (1) Right rear (2) Left rear (3) Right front (4) Left
front.
4. Open up bleeder, then have a helper press down the brake pedal. Once the pedal is down, hold
the pedal down while closing the bleeder. Repeat
bleeding until fluid stream is clear and free of bubbles. Then move to the next wheel.
5. Before moving the vehicle verify the pedal is firm and not mushy. 6. Top off the brake fluid and
install the reservoir cap.

PRESSURE BLEEDING
Use Mopar brake fluid, or an equivalent quality fluid meeting SAE J1703-F and DOT 3 standards
only. Use fresh, clean fluid from a sealed container at all times.
Follow the manufacturers instructions carefully when using pressure equipment. Do not exceed the
tank manufacturers pressure recommendations. Generally, a tank pressure of 15-20 psi is
sufficient for bleeding.
Fill the bleeder tank with recommended fluid and purge air from the tank lines before bleeding.
Do not pressure bleed without a proper master cylinder adapter. The wrong adapter can lead to
leakage, or drawing air back into the system.

Brake Caliper: Description and Operation Disc Brake Caliper - Description
DESCRIPTION
The calipers are a single piston type in the rear and dual piston type in the front. The calipers are
free to slide laterally, this allows continuous compensation for lining wear.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Hydraulic System, Brakes > Brake Caliper > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Disc Brake Caliper - Description > Page 5684
Brake Caliper: Description and Operation Disc Brake Caliper - Operation
OPERATION
When the brakes are applied fluid pressure is exerted against the caliper piston (2). The fluid
pressure is exerted equally and in all directions. This means pressure exerted against the caliper
piston and within the caliper bore will be equal.
Fluid pressure applied to the piston is transmitted directly to the inboard brake pad (5). This forces
the pad lining against the inner surface of the disc brake rotor. At the same time, fluid pressure
within the piston bore forces the caliper to slide inward on the mounting bolts. This action brings the
outboard brake pad lining (6) into contact with the outer surface of the disc brake rotor.
In summary, fluid pressure acting simultaneously on both piston and caliper, produces a strong
clamping action. When sufficient force is applied, friction will attempt to stop the rotors from turning
and bring the vehicle to a stop.
Application and release of the brake pedal generates only a very slight movement of the caliper
and piston. Upon release of the pedal, the caliper and piston return to a rest position. The brake
pads do not retract an appreciable distance from the rotor. In fact, clearance is usually at, or close
to zero. The reasons for this are to keep road debris from getting between the rotor and lining and
in wiping the rotor surface clear each revolution.
The caliper piston seal (4) controls the amount of piston (2) extension needed to compensate for
normal lining wear.
During brake application, the seal is deflected outward by fluid pressure and piston movement(6).
When the brakes (and fluid pressure) are released, the seal relaxes and retracts the piston (3).
The amount of piston retraction is determined by the amount of seal deflection. Generally the
amount is just enough to maintain contact between the piston and inboard brake pad.

Disc Brake Caliper - Cleaning
CLEANING
Clean the caliper components with clean brake fluid or brake clean only. Wipe the caliper and
piston dry with lint free towels or use low pressure compressed air.
CAUTION: Do not use gasoline, kerosene, paint thinner, or similar solvents. These products may
leave a residue that could damage the piston
and seal.
Disc Brake Caliper - Inspection
INSPECTION
The piston is made from a phenolic resin (plastic material) and should be smooth and clean.
The piston must be replaced if cracked or scored. Do not attempt to restore a scored piston surface
by sanding or polishing.
CAUTION: If the caliper piston is replaced, install the same type of piston in the caliper. Never
interchange phenolic resin and steel caliper
pistons. The pistons, seals, seal grooves, caliper bore and piston tolerances are different.
The bore can be lightly polished with a brake hone (3) to remove very minor surface imperfections.
The caliper should be replaced if the bore is severely corroded, rusted, scored, or if polishing would
increase bore diameter more than 0.025 mm (0.001 inch).

DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems include:
engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and refrigerant. The only
exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle maintenance schedules, e.g. engine
coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has occurred
and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of
system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the original approved system
fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSE(R) approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with Mopar
Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all
deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the specified coolant and
distilled water.

BRAKE FLUID
The brake fluid used in this vehicle must conform to DOT 3 specifications and SAE J1703
standards. No other type of brake fluid is recommended or approved for usage in the vehicle brake
system. Use only Mopar brake fluid or an equivalent from a tightly sealed container.
CAUTION: Never use reclaimed brake fluid or fluid from a container which has been left open. An
open container of brake fluid will absorb
moisture from the air and contaminate the fluid.
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.

Brake Fluid: Testing and Inspection
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 Brakes hydraulic unit and all
hydraulic fluid hoses.

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
Always clean the master cylinder reservoir (1) and cap (2) before checking fluid level. If not
cleaned, dirt could enter the fluid.
The fluid fill level is indicated on the side of the master cylinder reservoir (1).
The correct fluid level is to the MAX indicator on the side of the reservoir. If necessary, add fluid to
the proper level.

Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Description and Operation Hydraulic Control unit
(HCU) - Description
DESCRIPTION
The HCU consists of a valve body, pump motor, low pressure accumulators, inlet valves, outlet
valves and noise attenuators.

Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Description and Operation Hydraulic Control unit
(HCU) - Operation
OPERATION
Accumulators in the valve body store extra fluid released from the calipers during ABS mode
operation. The pump is used to clear the accumulator of brake fluid and is operated by a DC type
motor. The motor is controlled by the ABM. The valves modulate brake pressure during antilock
braking and are controlled by the ABM. The HCU provides individual pressure control to each front
and rear brake.
During antilock braking, the solenoid valves are opened and closed as needed. They are cycled
rapidly and continuously to modulate pressure and control wheel slip and deceleration. Brake
Traction Control and Electronic Stability Program modulate pressure on each wheel individually
without any driver brake input.
During normal braking, the HCU solenoid valves and pump are not activated. The master cylinder
and power booster operate the same as a vehicle without an ABS brake system. During antilock
braking, solenoid valve pressure modulation occurs in three stages; pressure increase, pressure
hold, and pressure decrease. The valves are all contained in the valve body portion of the HCU.
PRESSURE DECREASE
The outlet valve is opened and the inlet valve is closed during the pressure decrease cycle.
A pressure decrease cycle is initiated when speed sensor signals indicate high wheel slip at one or
more wheels. At this point, the ABM closes the inlet then opens the outlet valve, which also opens
the return circuit to the accumulators. Fluid pressure is allowed to bleed off (decrease) as needed
to prevent wheel lock.
Once the period of high wheel slip has ended, the ABM closes the outlet valve and begins a
pressure increase or hold cycle as needed.
PRESSURE HOLD
Both solenoid valves are closed in the pressure hold cycle but only the inlet valve is energized.
Fluid apply pressure in the control channel is maintained at a constant rate. The ABM maintains the
hold cycle until sensor inputs indicate a pressure change is necessary.
PRESSURE INCREASE
The inlet valve is open and the outlet valve is closed during the pressure increase cycle. The
pressure increase cycle is used to reapply thew brakes. This cycle controls re-application of fluid
apply pressure.

Brake Master Cylinder: Description and Operation Brake Master Cylinder - Description
DESCRIPTION
A two-piece master cylinder is used on all models. The cylinder body containing the primary and
secondary pistons is made of aluminum. The removable fluid reservoir (1) is made of nylon
reinforced with glass fiber. The reservoir stores reserve brake fluid for the hydraulic brake circuits
and has a switch (4) for indicating low fluid levels. The reservoir is the only serviceable component.
The fluid compartments of the nylon reservoir are interconnected to permit fluid level equalization.
However, the equalization feature does not affect circuit separation in the event of a front or rear
brake malfunction. The reservoir compartments will retain enough fluid to operate the functioning
hydraulic circuit.
Care must be exercised when removing/installing the master cylinder connecting lines. The threads
in the cylinder fluid ports (3) can be damaged if care is not exercised. Start all brake line fittings by
hand to avoid cross threading.
The cylinder reservoir can be replaced when necessary. However, the aluminum body section (2)
of the master cylinder is not a repairable component.
NOTE: If diagnosis indicates that an internal malfunction has occurred, the aluminum body section
must be replaced as an assembly.

5. Start engine and note pedal action. It should fall away slightly under light foot pressure then hold
firm. If no pedal action is discernible, power
booster, vacuum supply, or vacuum check valve is faulty. Proceed to the POWER BOOSTER
VACUUM TEST.
6. If the POWER BOOSTER VACUUM TEST passes, rebuild booster vacuum reserve as follows:
Release brake pedal. Increase engine speed to
1500 rpm, close the throttle and immediately turn off ignition to stop engine.
7. Wait a minimum of 90 seconds and try brake action again. Booster should provide two or more
vacuum assisted pedal applications. If vacuum
assist is not provided, booster is faulty.
POWER BOOSTER VACUUM TEST
1. Connect vacuum gauge (6) to booster check valve (4) with short length of hose (3) and T-fitting
(2). 2. Start and run engine at curb idle speed for one minute. 3. Observe the vacuum supply. If
vacuum supply is not adequate, repair vacuum supply. 4. Clamp (1) hose (7) shut between intake
vacuum source (5) and check valve (4). 5. Stop engine and observe vacuum gauge (6). 6. If
vacuum drops more than one inch HG (33 millibars) within 15 seconds, booster diaphragm or
check valve is faulty.
POWER BOOSTER CHECK VALVE TEST
1. Disconnect vacuum hose from check valve (1). 2. Remove check valve (1) and valve seal (2)
from booster (3).

Parking Brake Warning Lamp: Description and Operation Brake/Parking Brake Indicator Description
DESCRIPTION
A brake indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located in the
center of the speedometer, in the area below and right of the speedometer needle hub.
The brake indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the word BRAKE (all clusters with a
miles-per-hour primary speedometer scale), or the International Control and Display Symbol icon
for Brake Failure (all clusters with a kilometers-per-hour primary scale) in the opaque layer of the
instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the
opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer
layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The brake indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Parking Brake Warning Lamp: Description and Operation Brake/Parking Brake Indicator Operation
OPERATION
The brake indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the parking brake is applied,
when there are certain brake hydraulic system malfunctions as indicated by a low brake hydraulic
fluid level condition, or when the brake fluid level switch is disconnected. The brake indicator can
also give an indication when certain faults are detected in the Antilock Brake System (ABS). This
indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster
programming, electronic messages received by the cluster from the Controller Antilock Brake
(CAB) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus, and a hard wired input from the park
brake switch.
The brake indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED is
always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the brake indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the ON position the brake indicator illuminates
for about four seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the CAB.
- Brake Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic brake indicator
lamp-on message from the CAB, the brake indicator illuminates. The CAB may also send lamp-on
messages as feedback during ABS diagnostic procedures. The indicator remains illuminated until
the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the CAB, or until the ignition switch is turned to the
OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Park Brake Switch Input - Each time the cluster detects ground on the park brake switch sense
circuit (park brake switch closed = park brake applied or not fully released) while the ignition switch
is in the ON position, the brake indicator flashes on and off. The indicator continues to flash until
the park brake switch sense input to the cluster is an open circuit (park brake switch open = park
brake fully released), or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs
first.
- Self Test - Each time the instrument cluster is put through the self test, the brake indicator turns
on, then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED
and the cluster control circuitry.
The park brake switch on the park brake pedal mechanism provides a hardwired ground input to
the instrument cluster circuitry through the park brake switch sense circuit whenever the park brake
is applied or not fully released. The CAB continually monitors the ABS system circuits and sensors,
including the brake fluid level switch on the brake master cylinder reservoir, to decide whether the
system is in good operating condition. The CAB then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off
message to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). If the CAB
sends a lamp-on message after the bulb test, it indicates that the CAB has detected a brake
hydraulic system malfunction or that the ABS system has become ineffective. The CAB stores a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any malfunction it detects.
For further diagnosis of the brake indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED,
See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and
Inspection. Use conventional diagnostic tools and procedures for the hardwired park brake switch
input to the instrument cluster. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. Use a diagnostic scan
tool for proper diagnosis of the brake fluid level switch, the ABS, the CAB, the CCN, the CAN data
bus or the electronic communication related to brake indicator operation. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

BRAKE INDICATOR
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before
attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or
instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery
(ground) cable. Wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further
diagnosis or service. On vehicles equipped with the optional Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system,
a technician trained in proper HEV service safety procedures must also remove the high voltage
service disconnect from the high voltage battery pack. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS.
Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
The hardwired park brake switch input to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab
Compartment Node, (CCN) may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire harness 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.
However, conventional diagnostic methods may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the CCN,
the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB), the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus or the electronic
message inputs also used by the CCN to provide brake indicator operation. The most reliable,
efficient and accurate means to diagnose the CCN, the CAB, the CAN data bus or the electronic
communication related to brake indicator operation, requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

DESCRIPTION
The park brake switch (1) is located on the park brake lever mechanism on the cowl side inner
panel below the instrument panel, to the left of the steering column. This switch includes a
spade-type output terminal (3) that connects the switch to the vehicle electrical system through a
dedicated take out and connector of the body wire harness. The output terminal is integral to the
stationary contact within a molded plastic insulator.
A locating tab on the insulator engages a slot in the park brake lever mechanism for positive switch
location. External to the insulator is a movable leaf contact with an integral grounding lug (4) on
one end and an integral actuating lever and follower (2) on the opposite end. The switch is secured
to and grounded by a single screw to the park brake lever mechanism.
The park brake switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, it must be
replaced.

Parking Brake Warning Switch: Description and Operation Parking Brake Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The park brake switch is a normally closed, mechanically actuated leaf contact switch that is
operated by the park brake lever mechanism. The switch is grounded through its mounting to the
park brake lever mechanism and provides a ground input to the Electro Mechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) on a park brake switch sense
circuit whenever the park brake is applied, and opens this circuit whenever the park brake is
released. The park brake switch sense input to the EMIC is used for control of the brake indicator
and may also be used as a logic input for other electronic features in the vehicle.
The park brake switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

Power Brake Booster
5.7L HEV
NOTE: The active brake booster and it's components are serviced as an assembly only. The
master cylinder may be replaced separately or as
a unit with the active brake booster.
The active brake booster assembly consists of a housing divided into separate chambers by two
internal diaphragms. The outer edge of each diaphragm is attached to the booster housing (1). Two
push rods are used in the booster. The primary push rod connects the booster to the brake pedal.
The secondary push rod connects the booster to the master cylinder to stroke the cylinder pistons.
Active brake boosters will have a travel sensor (7), vacuum sensor (5), and an active booster
solenoid (not shown, behind reservoir). Additionally there is a redesigned primary push rod (to
brake pedal) for the regenerative braking system (RBS).

Vacuum Brake Booster: Description and Operation Power Brake Booster - Operation
OPERATION
WITHOUT 5.7L HEV
The booster unit consists of a single housing divided into two by a tandem diaphragm (3). The
outer edge of the diaphragm is secured to the housing. A spacer block (2) is located in between the
cowl and the booster housing. The booster push rod (1), connects the booster to the brake pedal
and master cylinder (4), is attached to the center of the diaphragm. A check valve (5) is used in the
booster outlet connected to the engine intake manifold. Power assist is generated by utilizing a
combination of vacuum and atmospheric pressure to boost brake assist.
WITH 5.7 HEV
NOTE: The active brake booster and it's components are serviced as an assembly only. The
master cylinder may be replaced separately or as
a unit with the active brake booster.
The 5.7L HEV active booster has a different design for the booster push rod (1) and uses only
three retaining studs (2) and 1 unused stud. The booster push rod (1) connects the booster to the
brake pedal and master cylinder and is attached to the center of the diaphragm. A replacement
active booster will have a new spacer block and booster push rod with a preset adjustment which
should not be changed. A check valve is used in the booster outlet connected to the engine intake
manifold and a vacuum pump. Normal power assist is generated by utilizing a combination of
vacuum and atmospheric pressure to boost brake application. The 5.7L HEV active booster has a
unique operation designed for charging assist of the 300 V battery system. On braking applications
the internals of the booster are not directly connected and the booster to master cylinder push rod
will not actuate the master cylinder/standard braking system. Under these conditions braking is
accomplished through the electric motors within the transmission. If more braking is necessary the
active booster can utilize the vacuum supplied by the vacuum pump to actuate the master cylinder.
These controls are determined by the antilock brake control (ABS) module (regenerative brake
system [RBS]), and under a fault condition concerning regenerative braking, normal vehicle braking
takes. There will be slightly more pedal travel when active braking defaults to mechanical/standard
braking.
Below are the active brake booster specific components.
- ACTIVE BRAKE BOOSTER SOLENOIDThe active brake booster solenoid allows the ABS
module to actuate the brake booster and apply hydraulic brake pressure via the brake master
cylinder without a mechanical link between the brake pedal and booster. The solenoid is controlled
via a PWM ground signal from the ABS module. When the solenoid is activated, atmospheric
pressure is allowed on the rear side of the booster
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Power Brake Assist > Vacuum Brake Booster > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Power Brake Booster - Description > Page 5831
and vacuum is allowed on the front side of the booster to move the master cylinder piston to apply
the hydraulic brakes.
- BOOSTER TRAVEL SENSORThe travel sensor is a three-wire potentiometer that varies the
voltage output as the position of the booster diaphragm changes. The RBS module uses the
position information to determine the amount of booster movement and hydraulic brake application.
- BOOSTER VACUUM SENSORThe vacuum sensor consists of two signal circuits (redundant for
safety) for calculation of brake system operation requirements by the RBS.
PRIMARY PUSH RODThe primary push rod is redesigned so the ABS module and active booster
will control the hydraulic brakes while the brake pedal simulator unit will operate to give a normal
brake pedal feel.

Vacuum Brake Booster: Testing and Inspection
MASTER CYLINDER/POWER BOOSTER
There are separate tests for HEV vehicles and non-HEV vehicles. The steps of the tests are
different and in different sequence due to the need to disconnect sensors on the HEV which will set
DTCs.
MASTER CYLINDER/POWER BOOSTER - WITHOUT HEV
1. Start engine and check booster vacuum hose connections. A hissing noise indicates vacuum
leak. Correct any vacuum leak before proceeding. 2. Stop engine and pump brake pedal until all
vacuum reserve in booster is depleted. 3. Press and hold brake pedal under light foot pressure.
The pedal should hold firm, if the pedal falls away master cylinder is faulty (internal
leakage).
4. Start engine and note pedal action. It should fall away slightly under light foot pressure then hold
firm. If no pedal action is discernible, power
booster, vacuum supply, or vacuum check valve is faulty. Proceed to the POWER BOOSTER
VACUUM TEST.
5. If the POWER BOOSTER VACUUM TEST passes, rebuild booster vacuum reserve as follows:
Release brake pedal. Increase engine speed to
1500 rpm, close the throttle and immediately turn off ignition to stop engine.
6. Wait a minimum of 90 seconds and try brake action again. Booster should provide two or more
vacuum assisted pedal applications. If vacuum
assist is not provided, booster is faulty.
POWER BOOSTER VACUUM TEST - WITHOUT HEV
1. Connect vacuum gauge (6) to booster check valve (4) with short length of hose (3) and T-fitting
(2). 2. Start and run engine at curb idle speed for one minute. 3. Observe the vacuum gauge. If
vacuum supply is not above 12 inches HG (406 millibars), repair vacuum supply. 4. Clamp (1) hose
(7) shut between intake vacuum source (5) and check valve (4). 5. Stop engine and observe
vacuum gauge (6). 6. If vacuum drops more than one inch HG (33 millibars) within fifteen seconds,
booster diaphragm or check valve is faulty.
POWER BOOSTER CHECK VALVE TEST - WITHOUT HEV
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Power Brake Assist > Vacuum Brake Booster > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Page 5833
1. Disconnect vacuum hose from check valve (1). 2. Remove check valve (1) from booster (3). 3.
Use a hand operated vacuum pump for test. 4. Apply 15-20 inches HG (508-677 millibars) vacuum
at power booster end of check valve. 5. Plug off the small end (if present) to prevent vacuum
leakage. 6. Vacuum should hold steady. If vacuum gauge indicates a vacuum loss, check valve is
faulty and should be replaced.
POWER BOOSTER VACUUM TEST - HEV
1. Disconnect brake vacuum hose between booster and T-fitting and connect another T-fitting
in-line. 2. Connect a vacuum gauge to the T-fitting installed in the previous step. 3. With the hood
open, start and run engine at curb idle speed for one minute. 4. Observe the vacuum gauge. If
vacuum supply is not above 12 inches HG (406 millibars), repair vacuum supply. 5. Clamp hose
shut between T-fitting and engine manifold vacuum source. 6. Stop engine and observe vacuum
gauge. 7. If vacuum drops more than one inch HG (33 millibars) within fifteen seconds, booster
diaphragm, check valve or original T-fitting is faulty.
POWER BOOSTER CHECK VALVE TEST- HEV
NOTE: The vacuum line for the booster has a T-fitting with two integrated check valves, one on the
engine manifold side, and one on the
Electric Vacuum Pump (EVP) side. If this T-fitting/check valves fail, replace only with proper
T-fitting.
1. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the T-fitting on the booster side of T-fitting (side without check
valve). 2. Connect a hand operated vacuum pump to the T-fitting. 3. Apply 15-20 inches HG
(508-677 millibars) of vacuum. Vacuum should hold steady. If gauge on pump indicates vacuum
loss, check valve in
T-fitting is faulty and T-fitting should be replaced
4. Remove check valve from booster. 5. Connect a hand operated vacuum pump at the power
booster end of check valve. 6. Apply 15-20 inches HG (508-677 millibars) of vacuum. 7. Vacuum
should hold steady. If gauge on pump indicates vacuum loss, booster check valve is faulty and
should be replaced.
MASTER CYLINDER/POWER BOOSTER - HEV
NOTE: Perform the POWER BOOSTER VACUUM TEST - HEV and the POWER BOOSTER
CHECK VALVE TEST- HEV before this
test. DTCs will set when performing this test.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Power Brake Assist > Vacuum Brake Booster > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Page 5834
1. With ignition key off, and door open, press on the brake pedal. The electric vacuum pump (EVP)
should come on for approximately 2-5 seconds.
If not, EVP or circuits may be faulty, refer to DTC diagnostics.
2. Start engine and check booster vacuum hose connections. A hissing noise indicates vacuum
leak. Correct any vacuum leak before proceeding. 3. Turn off engine. 4. Remove the Vacuum
Pump Circuit Breaker located in the Power Distribution Center-HEV. 5. Disconnect the harness
connector of the Brake Pedal Simulator Cut Off (3). 6. Pump brake pedal until all vacuum reserve
in booster is depleted. 7. Press and hold brake pedal under light foot pressure. The pedal should
hold firm, if the pedal falls away master cylinder is faulty (internal
leakage).
NOTE: Several system warning lamps will illuminate on the instrument panel after starting the
engine due to the circuit breaker and harness
connector disconnect in the previous steps. The last step will clear DTCs and reset these warning
lamps.
8. Start engine and note pedal action. It should fall away slightly under light foot pressure then hold
firm. If no pedal action is discernible and the
Power Booster Vacuum Test - HEV and Power Booster Check Valve Test - HEV have both
passed, the power booster is faulty.
9. Increase engine speed to 1500 rpm, close the throttle and immediately turn off ignition to stop
engine. Wait a minimum of 90 seconds and try
brake action again. Booster should provide two or more vacuum assisted pedal applications. If
vacuum assist is not provided, booster is faulty.
10. Stop engine, connect the harness connector of the Brake Pedal Simulator Cut Off (3) and
install the Vacuum Pump Circuit Breaker.
NOTE: This step must be performed. The warning lamps may not be illuminated after reconnecting
all connectors, however the DTCs will
need to be cleared

Vacuum Pump: Testing and Inspection
VACUUM PUMP FUNCTIONAL TEST
Check for DTCs prior to performing this test because this test may cause DTCs to set in the
Antilock Brake Module (ABS). Any fault in the voltage/ground circuits of the Electric Vacuum Pump
(EVP) will cause vacuum sensor DTCs to set in the ABS, therefore this test only checks the
vacuum output of a functioning EVP.
1. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the T-fitting on the booster side of T-fitting (side without check
valve). 2. Connect a hand operated vacuum pump to the T-fitting. 3. With ignition key off, and door
open, press on the brake pedal. The EVP should come on for approximately 5-10 seconds. If not,
EVP or circuits
may be faulty, refer to DTC diagnostics. The pump should increase vacuum gauge reading to
above 22 inches HG (745 millibars) of vacuum. If not, and no leaks are present AND there are no
DTCs, replace the EVP See: Service and Repair/Removal.

SYSTEM SELF-TEST
When the ignition switch is turned-on the microprocessor is tested. If an error occurs during the
test, a DTC will be set into the memory. However it is possible the DTC will not be stored in
memory if the error has occurred in the module were the DTC's are stored.
The ABM contains a self check program that illuminates the ABS warning light when a system fault
is detected. Faults are stored in memory and are accessible with the scan tool.
ABS faults remain in memory until cleared, or until after the vehicle is started approximately 50
times. Stored faults are not erased if the battery is disconnected.
ABM INPUTS
The ABM continuously monitors the speed of the vehicle by monitoring signals generated by the
wheel speed sensors. The ABM determines a wheel locking tendency when it recognizes the axle
is decelerating too rapidly. The ABM monitors the following inputs to determine when a wheel
locking tendency may exists:
- Wheel Speed Sensors
- Brake Lamp Switch
- Brake Fluid Level Sensor (CAN C BUS)
- G-Sensor (4X4)
ABM OUTPUTS
The ABM requests the following outputs for antilock braking and brake warning information from

The park brake switch (1) is located on the park brake lever mechanism on the cowl side inner
panel below the instrument panel, to the left of the steering column. This switch includes a
spade-type output terminal (3) that connects the switch to the vehicle electrical system through a
dedicated take out and connector of the body wire harness. The output terminal is integral to the
stationary contact within a molded plastic insulator.
A locating tab on the insulator engages a slot in the park brake lever mechanism for positive switch
location. External to the insulator is a movable leaf contact with an integral grounding lug (4) on
one end and an integral actuating lever and follower (2) on the opposite end. The switch is secured
to and grounded by a single screw to the park brake lever mechanism.
The park brake switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, it must be
replaced.

Parking Brake Warning Switch: Description and Operation Parking Brake Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The park brake switch is a normally closed, mechanically actuated leaf contact switch that is
operated by the park brake lever mechanism. The switch is grounded through its mounting to the
park brake lever mechanism and provides a ground input to the Electro Mechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) on a park brake switch sense
circuit whenever the park brake is applied, and opens this circuit whenever the park brake is
released. The park brake switch sense input to the EMIC is used for control of the brake indicator
and may also be used as a logic input for other electronic features in the vehicle.
The park brake switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be diagnosed

Parking Brake Warning Switch: Testing and Inspection
PARK BRAKE SWITCH
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before
attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or
instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery
(ground) cable. Wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further
diagnosis or service. On vehicles equipped with the optional Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system,
a technician trained in proper HEV service safety procedures must also remove the high voltage
service disconnect from the high voltage battery pack. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS.
Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
NOTE: If the brake indicator stays ON with the ignition switch in the ON position and the park brake
released, or comes ON while driving,
the brake system must be diagnosed and repaired prior to performing the following tests. See:
Testing and Inspection . If no brake system problem is found, the following procedures will help to
locate a shorted or open park brake switch sense circuit, or an ineffective park brake switch.
INDICATOR ILLUMINATES DURING BULB TEST, BUT DOES NOT WHEN PARK BRAKE
APPLIED
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. On vehicles equipped with the optional Hybrid
Electric Vehicle (HEV) system, a technician
trained in proper HEV service safety procedures must also remove the high voltage service
disconnect from the high voltage battery pack. Disconnect the body wire harness connector for the
park brake switch from the switch terminal. Apply the parking brake. Check for continuity between
the park brake switch terminal and a good ground. There should be continuity. If OK, go to 2. If not
OK, replace the ineffective park brake switch.
2. Disconnect the instrument panel wire harness connector (Connector C1) for the instrument
cluster from the cluster connector receptacle. Check for
continuity between the park brake switch sense circuit cavities of the body wire harness connector
for the park brake switch and the instrument panel wire harness connector for the instrument
cluster. There should be continuity. If not OK, repair the open park brake switch sense circuit
between the park brake switch and the instrument cluster as required.
INDICATOR REMAINS ILLUMINATED - BRAKE SYSTEM CHECKS OKAY
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. On vehicles equipped with the optional Hybrid
Electric Vehicle (HEV) system, a technician
trained in proper HEV service safety procedures must also remove the high voltage service
disconnect from the high voltage battery pack. Disconnect the body wire harness connector for the
park brake switch from the switch terminal. Check for continuity between the terminal of the park
brake switch and a good ground. There should be no continuity with the park brake released, and
continuity with the park brake applied. If OK, go to 2. If not OK, replace the ineffective park brake
switch.
2. Disconnect the instrument panel wire harness connector (Connector C1) for the instrument
cluster from the cluster connector receptacle. Check for

Steering Angle Sensor: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: Steering angle sensor is part of the airbag clockspring and is not serviced separately from
the clockspring.
The steering angle sensor is used to measure the driver intended path in the ESP system. Based
on the deviation between steering wheel input and the Yaw Rate signal from the dynamic sensor,
ESP can be activated. The SAS should be mounted correctly to ensure that the system functions
properly and there are not inadvertent activations.
Any replacement of the steering angle sensor requires that the ABS verification test be performed.

Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
OPERATION
The sensors convert wheel speed into a digital signal. The ABM sends 12 volts to the sensors. The
sensor has an internal hall sensor that alters the voltage and amperage of the signal circuit. This
voltage and amperage is changed by magnetic induction when the toothed tone wheel passes the
wheel speed sensor. This digital signal is sent to the ABM. The ABM measures the voltage and
amperage of the digital signal for each wheel.
The signal strength is affected by the distance between the Sensor and the tone ring. If the "Air
Gap" between the WSS and the tone ring/wheel is too large, the WSS signal can drop out at low
speed, (below 40 mph) and can cause an ABS activation.

DESCRIPTION
The starter relay is an electromechanical device that switches battery current to the pull-in coil of
the starter solenoid when the ignition switch is turned to the Start position. The starter relay is
located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) in the engine compartment. See the power
distribution center cover for relay identification and location.
The starter relay is a International Standards Organization (ISO) relay. Relays conforming to ISO
specifications have common physical dimensions, current capacities, terminal patterns, and
terminal functions.
The starter relay cannot be repaired or adjusted. If faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.

Starter Relay: Description and Operation Starter Relay - Operation
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 electromagnetic coil is energized, it
draws the movable contact away from normally closed fixed contact, and holds it against the other
(normally open) fixed contact.
When electromagnetic coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns movable contact to normally
closed position. The resistor or diode is connected in parallel with electromagnetic coil within relay,
and helps to dissipate voltage spikes produced when coil is de-energized.

Battery Cable: Testing and Inspection
BATTERY CABLES
A voltage drop test will determine if there is excessive resistance in the battery cable terminal
connections or the battery cables. 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.

Voltage Regulator: Description and Operation Voltage Regulator - Description
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.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Charging System > Voltage Regulator > Component Information >
Description and Operation > Voltage Regulator - Description > Page 6067
Voltage Regulator: Description and Operation Voltage Regulator - Operation
OPERATION
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 second rotor field terminal and the
generator 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+). It then determines a target charging voltage. If
sensed battery voltage is 0.5 volts or lower than the target voltage, the PCM uses Pulse Width
Modulation (PWM) to ground the field winding until sensed battery voltage is 0.5 volts above target
voltage. A circuit in the PCM cycles the ground side of the generator field up to 100 times per
second (100Hz), 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.

DESCRIPTION
The starter relay is an electromechanical device that switches battery current to the pull-in coil of
the starter solenoid when the ignition switch is turned to the Start position. The starter relay is
located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) in the engine compartment. See the power
distribution center cover for relay identification and location.
The starter relay is a International Standards Organization (ISO) relay. Relays conforming to ISO
specifications have common physical dimensions, current capacities, terminal patterns, and
terminal functions.
The starter relay cannot be repaired or adjusted. If faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Starting System > Starter Relay > Component Information >
Description and Operation > Starter Relay - Description > Page 6106
Starter Relay: Description and Operation Starter Relay - Operation
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 electromagnetic coil is energized, it
draws the movable contact away from normally closed fixed contact, and holds it against the other
(normally open) fixed contact.
When electromagnetic coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns movable contact to normally
closed position. The resistor or diode is connected in parallel with electromagnetic coil within relay,
and helps to dissipate voltage spikes produced when coil is de-energized.

HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
Chrysler 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 Chrysler
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. All switches,
components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and the key
removed from the ignition. 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.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
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.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6131
- 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.
- 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. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
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
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory 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.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6132
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.

Auxiliary Power Outlet: Description and Operation Power Outlet - Description
DESCRIPTION
INSTRUMENT PANEL MOUNTED
An instrument panel mounted cigar lighter/power outlet receptacle is optional equipment on this
model. On models equipped with the optional Smoker's Package, the cigar lighter knob and
heating element are included. On models without the Smoker's Package, the cigar lighter
receptacle is equipped with a snap fit plastic cap and is treated as an auxiliary power outlet. The
cigar lighter receptacle is installed in the instrument panel accessory switch bezel, which is located
near the bottom of the instrument panel center stack area, below the radio. The cigar lighter base is
secured by a snap fit within the center lower bezel. This power outlet has a constant 12 volt battery
feed.
The cigar lighter receptacle is serviced with the accessory switch bezel and if defective, the entire
switch bezel must be replaced. The plastic cap and the knob and heating element unit are available
for service replacement. These components cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, they
must be replaced.
FRONT CONSOLE AND REAR CARGO MOUNTED
A front console mounted power outlet is standard equipment and a rear cargo area power outlet is
optional equipment on this model. The front console mounted power outlet is mounted near the
front of the console just in front of the cup holders. This outlet can be used as a cigar lighter or
power outlet, but only has 12 volt battery voltage when the ignition is in the ON or ACC positions.
The rear power outlet is installed in the right rear quarter trim panel, near the spare tire jack. The
power outlet base and mount are secured by a snap fit within the quarter trim panel. A plastic
protective cap snaps into the power outlet base when the power outlet is not being used, and
hangs from the power outlet base mount by an integral bail strap while the power outlet is in use.
While the power outlet is very similar to a cigar lighter base unit, it does not include the two small
spring-clip retainers inside the bottom of the receptacle shell that are used to secure the cigar
lighter heating element to the insulated contact. It has 12 volt battery voltage when the ignition is in
the ON or ACC positions.

Auxiliary Power Outlet: Description and Operation Power Outlet - Operation
OPERATION
CIGAR LIGHTER/POWER OUTLET
The cigar lighter consists of two major components: a knob and heating element unit, and the cigar
lighter base or receptacle shell. The receptacle shell is connected to ground, and an insulated
contact in the bottom of the shell is connected to battery current.
The cigar lighter knob and heating element are encased within a spring-loaded housing, which also
features a sliding protective heat shield. When the knob and heating element are inserted in the
receptacle shell, the heating element resistor coil is grounded through its housing to the receptacle
shell. If the cigar lighter knob is pushed inward, the heat shield slides up toward the knob exposing
the heating element, and the heating element extends from the housing toward the insulated
contact in the bottom of the receptacle shell.
Two small spring-clip retainers are located on either side of the insulated contact inside the bottom
of the receptacle shell. These clips engage and hold the heating element against the insulated
contact long enough for the resistor coil to heat up. When the heating element is engaged with the
contact, battery current can flow through the resistor coil to ground, causing the resistor coil to
heat.
When the resistor coil becomes sufficiently heated, excess heat radiates from the heating element
causing the spring-clips to expand. Once the spring-clips expand far enough to release the heating
element, the spring-loaded housing forces the knob and heating element to pop back outward to
their relaxed position. When the cigar lighter knob and element are pulled out of the receptacle
shell, the protective heat shield slides downward on the housing so that the heating element is
recessed and shielded around its circumference for safety.
POWER OUTLET
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 receives battery voltage from a
fuse in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) through a fuse in the fuse block when the
ignition is in the ON or ACC positions.

DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) fuse that is disconnected within the
Integrated Power Module when the vehicle is shipped from the factory. Dealer personnel are to
reconnect the IOD fuse in the Integrated Power Module as part of the preparation procedures
performed just prior to new vehicle delivery. The following circuits are protected by the IOD fuse:
- Cluster (CCN)
- Diagnostic Connector
- Map Lamps
- Glove Box Lamp
- Courtesy Lamps
- Radio
- Underhood Lamp

Description and Operation > IOD Fuse - Description > Page 6181
Fuse: Description and Operation IOD Fuse - Operation
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. The only reason the IOD fuse
is disconnected 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.
The IOD fuse is disconnected from Integrated Power Module when the vehicle is shipped from the
assembly plant. Dealer personnel must reconnect 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 another Fused B(+) circuit fuse.
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 disconnecting 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.

HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
Chrysler 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 Chrysler
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. All switches,
components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and the key
removed from the ignition. 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.

Fuse Block: Diagnostic Aids
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol 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 from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.

1. Remove the fuse (1) for the circuit being checked or, disconnect the battery. 2. Connect one lead
of the ohmmeter to one side of the circuit being tested 3. Connect the other lead to the other end of
the circuit being tested. Low or no resistance means good continuity.
Testing For A Short To Ground
TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Remove the fuse and disconnect all items involved with the fuse. 2. Connect a test light or a
voltmeter across the terminals of the fuse. 3. Starting at the fuse block, wiggle the wiring harness
about six to eight inches apart and watch the voltmeter/test lamp. 4. If the voltmeter registers
voltage or the test lamp glows, there is a short to ground in that general area of the wiring harness.
Testing For A Short To Ground On Fuses Powering Several Loads
TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND ON FUSES POWERING SEVERAL LOADS
1. Refer to the wiring diagrams and disconnect or isolate all items on the suspected fused circuits.
2. Replace the blown fuse. 3. Supply power to the fuse by turning ON the ignition switch or
re-connecting the battery. 4. Start connecting or energizing the items in the fuse circuit one at a
time. When the fuse blows the circuit with the short to ground has been isolated.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
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.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6205
- 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.
- 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. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
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
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory 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.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6206
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.

Fuse Block: Description and Operation Junction Block - Description
DESCRIPTION
An electrical Junction Block (JB) (1) is concealed behind the left outboard end of the instrument
panel cover. The JB combines the functions previously provided by a separate fuseblock module
and relay center, serves to simplify and centralize numerous electrical components, and to
distribute electrical current to many of the accessory systems in the vehicle. It also eliminates the
need for numerous splice connections and serves in place of a bulkhead connector between many
of the engine compartment, instrument panel, and body wire harnesses.
The molded plastic JB housing has integral mounting brackets that are secured with two screws to
the left instrument panel end bracket. The left end of the instrument panel cover has a snap-fit fuse
access panel that can be removed for service of the JB. A fuse puller and spare fuse holders are
located on the back of the fuse access cover, as well as a fuse layout to help ensure proper fuse
identification.
The JB unit cannot be repaired and is only serviced as an assembly. If any internal circuit or the JB
housing is faulty or damaged, the entire JB unit must be replaced.

Relay Box: Description and Operation Junction Block - Description
DESCRIPTION
An electrical Junction Block (JB) (1) is concealed behind the left outboard end of the instrument
panel cover. The JB combines the functions previously provided by a separate fuseblock module
and relay center, serves to simplify and centralize numerous electrical components, and to
distribute electrical current to many of the accessory systems in the vehicle. It also eliminates the
need for numerous splice connections and serves in place of a bulkhead connector between many
of the engine compartment, instrument panel, and body wire harnesses.
The molded plastic JB housing has integral mounting brackets that are secured with two screws to
the left instrument panel end bracket. The left end of the instrument panel cover has a snap-fit fuse
access panel that can be removed for service of the JB. A fuse puller and spare fuse holders are
located on the back of the fuse access cover, as well as a fuse layout to help ensure proper fuse
identification.
The JB unit cannot be repaired and is only serviced as an assembly. If any internal circuit or the JB
housing is faulty or damaged, the entire JB unit must be replaced.

All of the circuits entering and leaving the JB do so through wire harness connectors, which are
connected to the JB through integral connector receptacles molded into the JB housing. Internal
connection of all of the JB circuits is accomplished by an intricate combination of hard wiring and
bus bars.

Relay Box: Description and Operation Junction Block - Description
DESCRIPTION
An electrical Junction Block (JB) (1) is concealed behind the left outboard end of the instrument
panel cover. The JB combines the functions previously provided by a separate fuseblock module
and relay center, serves to simplify and centralize numerous electrical components, and to
distribute electrical current to many of the accessory systems in the vehicle. It also eliminates the
need for numerous splice connections and serves in place of a bulkhead connector between many
of the engine compartment, instrument panel, and body wire harnesses.
The molded plastic JB housing has integral mounting brackets that are secured with two screws to
the left instrument panel end bracket. The left end of the instrument panel cover has a snap-fit fuse
access panel that can be removed for service of the JB. A fuse puller and spare fuse holders are
located on the back of the fuse access cover, as well as a fuse layout to help ensure proper fuse
identification.
The JB unit cannot be repaired and is only serviced as an assembly. If any internal circuit or the JB
housing is faulty or damaged, the entire JB unit must be replaced.

HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
Chrysler 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 Chrysler
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. All switches,
components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and the key
removed from the ignition. 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.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
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.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6409
- 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.
- 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. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
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
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory 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.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))

DESCRIPTION
INSTRUMENT PANEL MOUNTED
An instrument panel mounted cigar lighter/power outlet receptacle is optional equipment on this
model. On models equipped with the optional Smoker's Package, the cigar lighter knob and
heating element are included. On models without the Smoker's Package, the cigar lighter
receptacle is equipped with a snap fit plastic cap and is treated as an auxiliary power outlet. The
cigar lighter receptacle is installed in the instrument panel accessory switch bezel, which is located
near the bottom of the instrument panel center stack area, below the radio. The cigar lighter base is
secured by a snap fit within the center lower bezel. This power outlet has a constant 12 volt battery
feed.
The cigar lighter receptacle is serviced with the accessory switch bezel and if defective, the entire
switch bezel must be replaced. The plastic cap and the knob and heating element unit are available
for service replacement. These components cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, they
must be replaced.
FRONT CONSOLE AND REAR CARGO MOUNTED
A front console mounted power outlet is standard equipment and a rear cargo area power outlet is
optional equipment on this model. The front console mounted power outlet is mounted near the
front of the console just in front of the cup holders. This outlet can be used as a cigar lighter or
power outlet, but only has 12 volt battery voltage when the ignition is in the ON or ACC positions.
The rear power outlet is installed in the right rear quarter trim panel, near the spare tire jack. The
power outlet base and mount are secured by a snap fit within the quarter trim panel. A plastic
protective cap snaps into the power outlet base when the power outlet is not being used, and
hangs from the power outlet base mount by an integral bail strap while the power outlet is in use.
While the power outlet is very similar to a cigar lighter base unit, it does not include the two small
spring-clip retainers inside the bottom of the receptacle shell that are used to secure the cigar
lighter heating element to the insulated contact. It has 12 volt battery voltage when the ignition is in
the ON or ACC positions.

Auxiliary Power Outlet: Description and Operation Power Outlet - Operation
OPERATION
CIGAR LIGHTER/POWER OUTLET
The cigar lighter consists of two major components: a knob and heating element unit, and the cigar
lighter base or receptacle shell. The receptacle shell is connected to ground, and an insulated
contact in the bottom of the shell is connected to battery current.
The cigar lighter knob and heating element are encased within a spring-loaded housing, which also
features a sliding protective heat shield. When the knob and heating element are inserted in the
receptacle shell, the heating element resistor coil is grounded through its housing to the receptacle
shell. If the cigar lighter knob is pushed inward, the heat shield slides up toward the knob exposing
the heating element, and the heating element extends from the housing toward the insulated
contact in the bottom of the receptacle shell.
Two small spring-clip retainers are located on either side of the insulated contact inside the bottom
of the receptacle shell. These clips engage and hold the heating element against the insulated
contact long enough for the resistor coil to heat up. When the heating element is engaged with the
contact, battery current can flow through the resistor coil to ground, causing the resistor coil to
heat.
When the resistor coil becomes sufficiently heated, excess heat radiates from the heating element
causing the spring-clips to expand. Once the spring-clips expand far enough to release the heating
element, the spring-loaded housing forces the knob and heating element to pop back outward to
their relaxed position. When the cigar lighter knob and element are pulled out of the receptacle
shell, the protective heat shield slides downward on the housing so that the heating element is
recessed and shielded around its circumference for safety.
POWER OUTLET
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 receives battery voltage from a
fuse in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) through a fuse in the fuse block when the
ignition is in the ON or ACC positions.

DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) fuse that is disconnected within the
Integrated Power Module when the vehicle is shipped from the factory. Dealer personnel are to
reconnect the IOD fuse in the Integrated Power Module as part of the preparation procedures
performed just prior to new vehicle delivery. The following circuits are protected by the IOD fuse:
- Cluster (CCN)
- Diagnostic Connector
- Map Lamps
- Glove Box Lamp
- Courtesy Lamps
- Radio
- Underhood Lamp

Fuse: Description and Operation IOD Fuse - Operation
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. The only reason the IOD fuse
is disconnected 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.
The IOD fuse is disconnected from Integrated Power Module when the vehicle is shipped from the
assembly plant. Dealer personnel must reconnect 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 another Fused B(+) circuit fuse.
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 disconnecting 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.

HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
Chrysler 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 Chrysler
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. All switches,
components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and the key
removed from the ignition. 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.

Fuse Block: Diagnostic Aids
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol 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 from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
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.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 6483
- 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.
- 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. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
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
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory 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.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 6484
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.

Fuse Block: Description and Operation Junction Block - Description
DESCRIPTION
An electrical Junction Block (JB) (1) is concealed behind the left outboard end of the instrument
panel cover. The JB combines the functions previously provided by a separate fuseblock module
and relay center, serves to simplify and centralize numerous electrical components, and to
distribute electrical current to many of the accessory systems in the vehicle. It also eliminates the
need for numerous splice connections and serves in place of a bulkhead connector between many
of the engine compartment, instrument panel, and body wire harnesses.
The molded plastic JB housing has integral mounting brackets that are secured with two screws to
the left instrument panel end bracket. The left end of the instrument panel cover has a snap-fit fuse
access panel that can be removed for service of the JB. A fuse puller and spare fuse holders are
located on the back of the fuse access cover, as well as a fuse layout to help ensure proper fuse
identification.
The JB unit cannot be repaired and is only serviced as an assembly. If any internal circuit or the JB
housing is faulty or damaged, the entire JB unit must be replaced.

Relay Box: Description and Operation Junction Block - Description
DESCRIPTION
An electrical Junction Block (JB) (1) is concealed behind the left outboard end of the instrument
panel cover. The JB combines the functions previously provided by a separate fuseblock module
and relay center, serves to simplify and centralize numerous electrical components, and to
distribute electrical current to many of the accessory systems in the vehicle. It also eliminates the
need for numerous splice connections and serves in place of a bulkhead connector between many
of the engine compartment, instrument panel, and body wire harnesses.
The molded plastic JB housing has integral mounting brackets that are secured with two screws to
the left instrument panel end bracket. The left end of the instrument panel cover has a snap-fit fuse
access panel that can be removed for service of the JB. A fuse puller and spare fuse holders are
located on the back of the fuse access cover, as well as a fuse layout to help ensure proper fuse
identification.
The JB unit cannot be repaired and is only serviced as an assembly. If any internal circuit or the JB
housing is faulty or damaged, the entire JB unit must be replaced.

Relay Box: Description and Operation Junction Block - Description
DESCRIPTION
An electrical Junction Block (JB) (1) is concealed behind the left outboard end of the instrument
panel cover. The JB combines the functions previously provided by a separate fuseblock module
and relay center, serves to simplify and centralize numerous electrical components, and to
distribute electrical current to many of the accessory systems in the vehicle. It also eliminates the
need for numerous splice connections and serves in place of a bulkhead connector between many
of the engine compartment, instrument panel, and body wire harnesses.
The molded plastic JB housing has integral mounting brackets that are secured with two screws to
the left instrument panel end bracket. The left end of the instrument panel cover has a snap-fit fuse
access panel that can be removed for service of the JB. A fuse puller and spare fuse holders are
located on the back of the fuse access cover, as well as a fuse layout to help ensure proper fuse
identification.
The JB unit cannot be repaired and is only serviced as an assembly. If any internal circuit or the JB
housing is faulty or damaged, the entire JB unit must be replaced.

Alignment: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: Suspension components with rubber/urethane bushings should be tightened with the
vehicle at normal ride height. It is important to
have the springs supporting the weight of the vehicle when the fasteners are torqued. If springs are
not at their normal ride position, vehicle ride comfort could be affected and premature bushing wear
may occur.
Wheel alignment involves the correct positioning of the wheels in relation to the vehicle. The
positioning is accomplished through suspension and steering linkage adjustments. An alignment is
considered essential for efficient steering, good directional stability and to minimize tire wear. The
most important measurements of an alignment are caster, camber and toe.
CAUTION: Never attempt to modify suspension or steering components by heating or bending.

Alignment: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
- CASTER (1) is the forward or rearward tilt of the steering knuckle from vertical. Tilting the top of
the knuckle forward provides less positive caster. Tilting the top of the knuckle rearward provides
more positive caster. Positive caster promotes directional stability. This angle enables the front
wheels to return to a straight ahead position after turns.
- CAMBER (2) is the inward or outward tilt of the wheel relative to the center of the vehicle. Tilting
the top of the wheel inward provides negative camber. Tilting the top of the wheel outward provides
positive camber. Incorrect camber will cause wear on the inside or outside edge of the tire.
- TOE (4) is the difference between the leading inside edges and trailing inside edges of the front
tires. Wheel toe position out of specification cause's unstable steering, uneven tire wear and
steering wheel off- center. The wheel toe position is the final front wheel alignment adjustment.
- THRUST ANGLE (3) is the angle of the rear axle relative to the centerline of the vehicle. Incorrect
thrust angle can cause off-center steering and excessive tire wear. This angle is not adjustable,
damaged component(s) must be replaced to correct the thrust angle.

Measurement
Alignment: Service and Repair Height Measurement
HEIGHT MEASUREMENT
The vehicle suspension height MUST be measured and adjusted before performing wheel
alignment procedure. Also when front suspension components have been replaced. This measure
must be performed with the vehicle supporting it's own weight and taken on both sides of the
vehicle.
NOTE: Vehicle should have a full tank of fuel prior to measuring and adjusting alignment.
FRONT CURB HEIGHT MEASUREMENT
1. Inspect tires and set to correct pressure. 2. Jounce the front of the vehicle. 3. With vehicle on
level ground or hoist, make the following measurements:
a. Front wheel spindle (center) (1) to ground vertical distance (3). b. Center of the front face of bolt
on the rear leg of Lower control arm (2) to ground vertical distance (3). c. Difference between
spindle and control arm bolt to ground distances should be 81 mm +/- 3.2 mm (3.18 in +/- 0.12
in)Note that the control
arm bolt is lower than the spindle.
4. If adjustment is required, turn the torsion bar adjuster bolts- if lowering curb height, unscrew
Torsion bar adjuster bolt beyond desired point so as
to set height when screwing-in adjuster bolt.
5. After making any curb height adjustment, roll vehicle preferably jouncing it also, to relieve
camber Effects and then re-measure Lower control arm
bolt to ground height.
6. Repeat the previous steps until the curb height is within specifications.
REAR CURB HEIGHT MEASUREMENT
1. Inspect tires and set to correct pressure. 2. Jounce the front of the vehicle. 3. With vehicle on
level ground or hoist, make the following measurements:
a. Distance from the landing pad of the jounce bumper on the axle side to the jounce bumper cup
lip of the frame side. b. The difference between the jounce bumper landing pad and the jounce
bumper cup lip. The reading should be 148 mm +/-10 mm (5.8 in +/0.40 in) for 9.25" axle, 154 mm +/-10 mm (6.0 in +/- 0.40 in) for 8.25" axle.

Alignment: Service and Repair Height Adjustment
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The vehicle suspension height MUST be measured and adjusted before performing wheel
alignment procedure See: . Also when front suspension components have been replaced. This
measurement must be performed with the vehicle supporting it's own weight and taken on both
sides of the vehicle.
To adjust the vehicle height turn the torsion bar adjustment bolt CLOCKWISE to raise the vehicle
and COUNTER CLOCKWISE to lower the vehicle.
CAUTION: ALWAYS raise the vehicle to the correct suspension height, NEVER lower the vehicle
to obtain the correct suspension height. If
the vehicle suspension height is too high, lower the vehicle below the height specification. Then
raise the vehicle to the correct suspension height specification. This will insure the vehicle
maintains the proper suspension height.
NOTE: If a height adjustment has been made, perform height measurement again on both sides of
the vehicle.

Alignment: Service and Repair Camber, Caster and Toe Adjustment
CAMBER, CASTER AND TOE ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: Suspension height measurement must be performed before an alignment.
Camber and caster angle adjustments involve changing the position of the lower control arm with
the slots in the frame brackets to move the lower control arm inwards or outwards for proper
adjustment. This can be achieved by using a long pry bar with a curved tip and inserting the pry bar
into the lower control arm frame brackets and prying inwards or outwards.
NOTE: Camber and caster adjustments must be made at the lower control arm. Do not use the
upper control arm for Camber and Caster
adjustments.
NOTE: When the lower control arm pivot bolts are loosened the lower control arm will normally go
outwards automatically with the weight
of the vehicle.
CASTER
Moving the rear position of the lower control arm at the frame in or out, will change the caster angle
significantly and camber angle only slightly. To maintain the camber angle while adjusting caster,
move the rear of the lower control arm in or out. Then move the front of the lower control arm
slightly in the opposite direction.
CAMBER
Move both the front and rear of the lower control arm together in or out. This will change the
camber angle significantly and caster angle slightly.
After adjustment is made tighten the lower control arm bolt AND nuts to 244 Nm (180 ft. lbs.).
TOE ADJUSTMENT
The wheel toe position adjustment is the final adjustment.
1. Start the engine and turn wheels both ways before straightening the wheels. Secure the steering
wheel with the front wheels in the straight-ahead
position.
2. Loosen the tie rod jam nuts (3).
NOTE: Each front wheel should be adjusted for one-half of the total toe position specification. This
will ensure the steering wheel will be
centered when the wheels are positioned straight-ahead.
3. Adjust the wheel toe position by turning the inner tie rod (4) as necessary. 4. Tighten the tie rod
jam nut (3) to 130 Nm (96 ft. lbs.). 5. Verify the specifications. 6. Turn off engine.

DESCRIPTION
PREMIUM SYSTEM
A transponder, also known as a trigger module, is located in three of the four wheel wells (behind
the wheelhouse splash shields) of the vehicle to provide the WCM/SKREEM with the location of the
tire pressure sensors on the vehicle. A fourth transponder is not necessary in the remaining wheel
well due to the process-of-elimination theory. Once the system knows the location of the first three
sensors it assumes the location of the fourth tire pressure sensor.

(TPM) Transponder - Operation
OPERATION NUMBER: PREMIUM SYSTEM On vehicles equipped with the premium TPM
system, the Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote
Entry Module (SKREEM), uses transponders (trigger modules) located in three of the four wheel
wells on the vehicle to provide it with the location of the tire pressure sensors on the vehicle. Like
the base system, the WCM receives RF signals from all four rotating wheel speed sensors. When
the WCM needs to know which sensor is located at a particular location on the vehicle, it directs
the transponder at that location to send out a low frequency signal to excite the nearby sensor. The
WCM then receives that excited signal and knows where that sensor is located. This auto-locating
process only happens in the first 10 minutes of any WCM cycle while traveling at speeds above 20
mph (32 km/h) (Each WCM cycle ends when the vehicle has been shut off for a time period of
approximately 15 minutes or longer). Once the WCM has performed this to the three locations that
have transponders (left front, right front, and left rear wheel wells), it uses the
process-of-elimination theory to know that the fourth sensor ID signal is coming from the left rear
tire sensor.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures have been established for the tire size
equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. After-market wheels can
cause sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire sealants or balance beads if your vehicle is
equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
NOTE: After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always reinstall the valve stem cap. This will
prevent moisture and dirt from entering
the valve stem, which could damage the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor.
CAUTION: Tire pressure sensor valve stem caps and cores are specially designed for the sensors.
Due to risk of corrosion, do not use a
standard valve stem cap or core in a tire pressure sensor in place of the original equipment style
sensor cap and core.
CAUTION: After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always reinstall the valve stem cap. This
will prevent moisture and dirt from
entering the valve stem, which could damage the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new seal, cap and valve core must
be installed on the stem to ensure air tight
sealing.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system
accuracy.

DESCRIPTION
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System, one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel in place of the
traditional tire valve stem. Each sensor has an internal battery that lasts up to 10 years. The battery
is not serviceable. At the time of battery failure, the sensor must be replaced. The TPM system
operates on a 315 or 433 MHz radio frequency. The 315 MHz sensors can be easily identified by a
black sensor body, with (an oval insignia) (1). The 433 MHz sensors can be identified by a grey
sensor body with an oval insignia.
NOTE: If replacing the WCM, the spare tire must be dismounted from its wheel to access and note
the spare tire pressure sensor ID. Then
follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for "Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID"
under Miscellaneous Functions for the WCM wireless control module menu item as appropriate. In
addition, the placard pressure thresholds must be updated in the new WCM. Go to "Update
Pressure Thresholds" under Miscellaneous Functions for the WCM wireless control module and
follow the procedure.
On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System, one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel in place of the traditional tire valve stem. Each sensor has an internal
battery that lasts up to 10 years. The battery is not serviceable. At the time of battery failure, the
sensor must be replaced.
The TPM system operates on a 315 MHz radio frequency. The 315 MHz sensors can be easily
identified by a black sensor body, with (an oval insignia) (1) and a grey valve cap (2).
The Export TPM system operates on a 433 MHz radio frequency. The 433 MHz sensors can be
easily identified by a gray sensor body (with an oval insignia) and a black valve cap (2).
CAUTION: Although 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and shape, they are not
interchangeable. Always make sure the
correct sensor is being used.
NOTE: Domestic vehicles, use the 315 MHz TPM sensors with the BLACK sensor body. For Export
vehicles, use the 433 MHz TPM sensors
with the GREY sensor body. Although 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and
shape, they are not interchangeable. Always make sure the correct color sensor is being used. A
RKE-TPM Analyzer can be used to determine the sensor's frequency without having to dismount
the tire.
NOTE: If aftermarket wheels are installed and do not contain tire pressure sensors, the system will
not function properly and the driver will
be continuously notified of a system malfunction.
The TPM sensors are designed for original style factory wheels. It is not recommended to install a
tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. (This could cause sealing and system performance
issues).

The serviceable components of the tire pressure sensor are:
- Sensor-To-Wheel Seal (4)
- Valve Stem Cap (2)
- Valve Stem Core
- Valve Stem Nut (3)
The valve stem caps and cores used are specifically designed for the tire pressure monitoring
sensors. Although similar to standard valve stem caps and cores, they are different. The valve
stem cap has a special seal inside to keep moisture and corrosion out. The valve stem core has a
special nickel coating to protect from corrosion.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensor Operation
OPERATION
The battery operated tire pressure sensor is both a transmitter and a receiver. The TPM sensor can
be forced to transmit if using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor's operating mode and to diagnose a
faulty TPM sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission
from a sensor. The TPM sensor can be in one of the following modes:
- Sleep Mode - A new TPM sensor will be in this mode. If placed on the vehicle as a road tire, the
TPM sensor will transmit once every 20 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15 mph
(24 km/h). If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a pressure change greater
then 1 psi (6.9 kPA). Driving the vehicle continuously at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h) for more
then 4 minutes will change the sensor state into 30 BLOCK MODE. The TPM sensor will not return
to SLEEP MODE. Now, if the vehicle has been stopped for 20 minutes, the TPM sensor state will
change to PARK MODE.
- Park Mode - This is the correct operating mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will
transmit once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 1 PSI delta change. The
sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to determine a change
in tire pressure
30 Block Mode - If the vehicle has been stopped for more then 20 minutes, or if the sensor's
operating mode was forced to Park Mode using a TPM-RKE Analyzer, the sensor's operating mode
will transition from Park Mode to 30 Block Mode once the vehicle is driven over 15mph. In this
mode, the sensor will transmit once every 15 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15
mph (24 km/h) for the first 30 transmissions. After about 8 minutes of continuous driving above 15
mph (24 km/h), the sensor's mode will change to Drive Mode
- Drive Mode - In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every minute when the vehicle is driven
at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). At any time that the vehicle speed drops below 15mph, the
sensor will not transmit. The sensor mode will still be in drive mode when the sensor reaches
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). If the vehicle has been stationary for more then 20 minutes, the
TPM sensor will change to PARK MODE.
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the wireless control module (WCM)
can monitor the state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The WCM can
automatically learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 10 minutes continuously above
15 m.p.h. (24 Km/h)" after a sensor has been replaced, The vehicle must be stationary for more
then 20 minutes in order to initiate the learning sequence.
The sensor IDs can also be programmed using the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool. Scan each TPM
sensor at each road wheel, and store each Sensor ID in the correct location. (LEFT FRONT, LEFT
REAR, RIGHT FRONT, and RIGHT REAR) Connect the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool to the Scan Tool.
Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic Scan Tool for "Program Tire Pressure
Sensor ID w/ TPM Tool" under "MISC" for the "WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE".

REMOVAL
1. Raise and support vehicle. 2. Remove tire and wheel assembly.
CAUTION: The cap used on this valve stem contains an O-ring seal to prevent contamination and
moisture from entering the valve stem. Do
not substitute a regular valve stem cap in its place.
CAUTION: The valve stem used on this vehicle is made of aluminum and the core is nickel plated
brass. The original valve stem core must be
reinstalled and not substituted with a valve stem core made of a different material. This is required
to prevent corrosion in the valve stem caused by the different metals.
3. Dismount tire from wheel following tire changer manufacturers instructions while paying special
attention to the following to avoid damaging the
pressure sensor: a. When breaking the tire bead loose from the wheel rim, avoid using the Bead
Breaker in the area of the sensor (1). That includes both outer and
inner beads of the tire.
b. When preparing to dismount the tire from the wheel, carefully insert the mounting/dismounting
tool 280° from the valve stem ± 10°, then
proceed to dismount the tire from the wheel. Use this process on both outer and inner tire beads.
4. Remove sensor nut (3) retaining sensor to wheel. While removing nut, hold pressure against
rear of metal valve stem to keep valve stem from
pushing rearward, damaging antenna strap.
5. Remove sensor (1) from wheel (2).

DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems include:
engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and refrigerant. The only
exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle maintenance schedules, e.g. engine
coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has occurred
and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of
system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the original approved system
fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSE(R) approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with Mopar
Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all
deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the specified coolant and
distilled water.

Power Steering Fluid: Description and Operation
POWER STEERING FLUID
There are two types of power steering systems used on this vehicle. The conventional belt driven
power steering pump system as well as an Electric Power Steering (EPS) pump system. The EPS
pump is used on the 5.7L Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) while the conventional system is used on
all other vehicles.
BELT DRIVEN PUMP (CONVENTIONAL)
Mopar(R) ATF +4, Automatic Transmission Fluid is required in the power steering system.
Substitute fluids can induce power steering system failure.Mopar(R) ATF +4, Automatic
Transmission Fluid 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.
EPS PUMP (5.7L HEV)
The power steering system is filled at the factory with Pentosan CHF 11S. If necessary, use
Mopar(R) hydraulic fluid, part number 05127381AA. Steering noise and reduced component life
may result if an unapproved fluid is used.

power steering pump and system if any other fluid is used, and do not overfill.
The power steering fluid level can be viewed on the dipstick attached to the filler cap. Before
opening power steering system, wipe the reservoir filler cap free of dirt and debris. Remove the cap
and check the fluid level on its dipstick. When the fluid is at normal ambient temperature,
approximately 21° C to 27°C (70°F to 80°F), the fluid level should read between the minimum and
maximum area of the dipstick.

Power Steering Pump: Description and Operation Power Steering Pump - Description
Electric Power Steering (EPS) System
ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) SYSTEM
Power assist is provided by the EPS pump mounted to the Power Distribution Center (PDC). The
EPS pump is an electrically operated hydraulic pump which supplies variable hydraulic fluid flow
and pressure to the steering gear. The EPS pump replaces the conventional belted power steering
pump and draws power from the 12V electrical system instead of the engine, reducing engine load.
The EPS pump has an EPS module attached (not replaceable separately) for information
processing and pump control for power steering assist. The EPS module monitors the vehicle
Controller Area Network (CAN) communication system using information including vehicle speed,
steering angle, and steering rate to calculate the steering assist required. The EPS Module does
contain diagnostic functions. For descriptions and procedures related to DTCs See: Testing and
Inspection. There are two electrical connectors on the EPS pump assembly. One connector is a
12V low amperage module connector, and the other is a 12V higher amperage (up to 98 amps)
pump connector containing a larger gauge wire for motor operation. The power steering hoses and
steering gear are substantially unchanged in function from a conventional system. However, there
are unique components for this system, such as hoses for routing and the gear for valve tuning.
This system requires no cooling system but it does monitor internal motor/fluid temperature.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) PUMP
NOTE: There is no internal service of the EPS pump. Replace the EPS pump as an assembly,
including the reservoir, brackets and pressure
hose extension.
The EPS pump replaces the conventional belt-driven power steering pump and draws its power
from the 12V electrical system instead of the engine crankshaft reducing engine load.
The EPS pump mounts to bottom of PDC bracket with 2 studs and 1 bolt. Removal from the vehicle
is possible through left front wheel opening after removing fender liner.

Power Steering Pump: Description and Operation Power Steering Pump - Operation
EPS System Operation
EPS SYSTEM OPERATION
The Electric Power Steering (EPS) Pump has different modes on which it will operate. A list of the
modes follows:
- Wake Up Mode - The EPS Pump control module initiates when ignition is in RUN or START
positions. This begins start-up checks (memory checksums, internal sensors, faults etc.) and starts
monitoring the vehicle CAN system.
- Start Mode - The EPS module will start the electric pump motor to provide steering assist once
one of the following occurs: Hybrid propulsion system active message is received (vehicle is
started), or a vehicle speed message of greater than 3 mph (5 kp/h) is received.
- The EPS Pump will then run until the ignition is turned off regardless of further changes in Hybrid
Propulsion System or Vehicle Speed messages. There may be degraded assist during evasive
maneuvers when there is no vehicle speed message.
- Sleep Mode - If steering wheel is not moved for 5 seconds with vehicle speed less than 3 mph (5
kp/h) the pump will reduce output flow to 0.5 gm to minimize current consumption and heat buildup.
Any steering wheel movement will return pump to normal operation.
- End-lock Mode - If the steering wheel is held in lock (wheels to wheel stops) for 1 second or more
with vehicle speed less than 12.5 mph (20 kp/h) the pump will reduce output flow to 0.5gmm to
minimize current consumption and heat buildup. NOTE: Holding the steering wheel in the lock
position for more than 3 seconds can damage the EPS system.
- Shut Down Mode - At shutdown (loss of ignition signal to the module), the pump will:
- Write any stored DTCs to EEPROM.
- Shut down.
Electric Power Steering (EPS) Pump
ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) PUMP
NOTE: If BOTH the Hybrid Propulsion System Active message (vehicle started) and Vehicle Speed
Messages are missing at start-up, the EPS
pump will remain in Wake Up Mode and will not operate.
The EPS pump will start to provide steering assist when one of the following occurs:
- A Hybrid Propulsion System Active message (vehicle started) is received.
- A vehicle speed message of greater than 5 kp/h (3 mph) is received.
After the pump starts:
- If the Hybrid Propulsion System message is lost - the EPS pump will continue to run normally but
will set a U0148 - Lost Communication with Hybrid Gateway Module DTC.
- If the Vehicle Speed message is lost - the EPS pump will use a default vehicle speed of 85 kp/h
(59 mph) to calculate desired flow and as a result, steering effort will no longer be speed sensitive.
The EPS Module will set a U0121 Lost Communication with ABS DTC.
- If the Steering Wheel Position message is lost - the EPS pump will use a default steering wheel
rate of 230 deg/s to calculate desired flow and as a result, steering effort may be higher on evasive
steering maneuvers. The EPS Module will set a U0126 - Lost Communication with Steering Angle
Sensor DTC.
- If the pump internal temperature exceeds 110° Celsius (230° F) the pump will begin to reduce
output to self protect.
- If the pump internal temperature exceeds 125° Celsius (257° F) internal temperature, the pump
will shut off in order to self protect. The module will set a C1592 - Electronic Power Steering Motor
Circuit DTC.
- If the supply voltage drops below 9V or is above 16V, the EPS pump will shutoff to self protect.
The EPS Module will set a C1588/C1589 - Power Steering Motor Inverter Power Supply High/Low
DTC.
The EPS pump will resume normal operation automatically once any missing message or out of
range condition noted above is restored to normal.

SPRING AND SHOCK
A knocking or rattling noise from a shock absorber may be caused by movement between
mounting bushings and metal brackets or attaching components. These noises can usually be
stopped by tightening the attaching nuts. If the noise persists, inspect for damaged and worn
bushings, and attaching components. Repair as necessary if any of these conditions exist.
A squeaking noise from the shock absorber may be caused by the hydraulic valving and may be
intermittent. This condition is not repairable and the shock absorber must be replaced.
The shock absorbers are not refillable or adjustable. If a malfunction occurs, the shock absorber
must be replaced. To test a shock absorber, hold it in an upright position and force the piston in
and out of the cylinder four or five times. The action throughout each stroke should be smooth and
even.
If the vehicle is used for severe, off-road operation, the springs should be examined periodically.
Check for broken colis. Refer to Spring and Shock Absorber Diagnosis chart for additional
information.

DESCRIPTION
PREMIUM SYSTEM
A transponder, also known as a trigger module, is located in three of the four wheel wells (behind
the wheelhouse splash shields) of the vehicle to provide the WCM/SKREEM with the location of the
tire pressure sensors on the vehicle. A fourth transponder is not necessary in the remaining wheel
well due to the process-of-elimination theory. Once the system knows the location of the first three
sensors it assumes the location of the fourth tire pressure sensor.

(TPM) Transponder - Operation
OPERATION NUMBER: PREMIUM SYSTEM On vehicles equipped with the premium TPM
system, the Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote
Entry Module (SKREEM), uses transponders (trigger modules) located in three of the four wheel
wells on the vehicle to provide it with the location of the tire pressure sensors on the vehicle. Like
the base system, the WCM receives RF signals from all four rotating wheel speed sensors. When
the WCM needs to know which sensor is located at a particular location on the vehicle, it directs
the transponder at that location to send out a low frequency signal to excite the nearby sensor. The
WCM then receives that excited signal and knows where that sensor is located. This auto-locating
process only happens in the first 10 minutes of any WCM cycle while traveling at speeds above 20
mph (32 km/h) (Each WCM cycle ends when the vehicle has been shut off for a time period of
approximately 15 minutes or longer). Once the WCM has performed this to the three locations that
have transponders (left front, right front, and left rear wheel wells), it uses the
process-of-elimination theory to know that the fourth sensor ID signal is coming from the left rear
tire sensor.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures have been established for the tire size
equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. After-market wheels can
cause sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire sealants or balance beads if your vehicle is
equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
NOTE: After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always reinstall the valve stem cap. This will
prevent moisture and dirt from entering
the valve stem, which could damage the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor.
CAUTION: Tire pressure sensor valve stem caps and cores are specially designed for the sensors.
Due to risk of corrosion, do not use a
standard valve stem cap or core in a tire pressure sensor in place of the original equipment style
sensor cap and core.
CAUTION: After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always reinstall the valve stem cap. This
will prevent moisture and dirt from
entering the valve stem, which could damage the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new seal, cap and valve core must
be installed on the stem to ensure air tight
sealing.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system
accuracy.

DESCRIPTION
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System, one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel in place of the
traditional tire valve stem. Each sensor has an internal battery that lasts up to 10 years. The battery
is not serviceable. At the time of battery failure, the sensor must be replaced. The TPM system
operates on a 315 or 433 MHz radio frequency. The 315 MHz sensors can be easily identified by a
black sensor body, with (an oval insignia) (1). The 433 MHz sensors can be identified by a grey
sensor body with an oval insignia.
NOTE: If replacing the WCM, the spare tire must be dismounted from its wheel to access and note
the spare tire pressure sensor ID. Then
follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for "Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID"
under Miscellaneous Functions for the WCM wireless control module menu item as appropriate. In
addition, the placard pressure thresholds must be updated in the new WCM. Go to "Update
Pressure Thresholds" under Miscellaneous Functions for the WCM wireless control module and
follow the procedure.
On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System, one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel in place of the traditional tire valve stem. Each sensor has an internal
battery that lasts up to 10 years. The battery is not serviceable. At the time of battery failure, the
sensor must be replaced.
The TPM system operates on a 315 MHz radio frequency. The 315 MHz sensors can be easily
identified by a black sensor body, with (an oval insignia) (1) and a grey valve cap (2).
The Export TPM system operates on a 433 MHz radio frequency. The 433 MHz sensors can be
easily identified by a gray sensor body (with an oval insignia) and a black valve cap (2).
CAUTION: Although 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and shape, they are not
interchangeable. Always make sure the
correct sensor is being used.
NOTE: Domestic vehicles, use the 315 MHz TPM sensors with the BLACK sensor body. For Export
vehicles, use the 433 MHz TPM sensors
with the GREY sensor body. Although 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and
shape, they are not interchangeable. Always make sure the correct color sensor is being used. A
RKE-TPM Analyzer can be used to determine the sensor's frequency without having to dismount
the tire.
NOTE: If aftermarket wheels are installed and do not contain tire pressure sensors, the system will
not function properly and the driver will
be continuously notified of a system malfunction.
The TPM sensors are designed for original style factory wheels. It is not recommended to install a
tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. (This could cause sealing and system performance
issues).

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensor Operation
OPERATION
The battery operated tire pressure sensor is both a transmitter and a receiver. The TPM sensor can
be forced to transmit if using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor's operating mode and to diagnose a
faulty TPM sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission
from a sensor. The TPM sensor can be in one of the following modes:
- Sleep Mode - A new TPM sensor will be in this mode. If placed on the vehicle as a road tire, the
TPM sensor will transmit once every 20 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15 mph
(24 km/h). If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a pressure change greater
then 1 psi (6.9 kPA). Driving the vehicle continuously at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h) for more
then 4 minutes will change the sensor state into 30 BLOCK MODE. The TPM sensor will not return
to SLEEP MODE. Now, if the vehicle has been stopped for 20 minutes, the TPM sensor state will
change to PARK MODE.
- Park Mode - This is the correct operating mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will
transmit once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 1 PSI delta change. The
sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to determine a change
in tire pressure
30 Block Mode - If the vehicle has been stopped for more then 20 minutes, or if the sensor's
operating mode was forced to Park Mode using a TPM-RKE Analyzer, the sensor's operating mode
will transition from Park Mode to 30 Block Mode once the vehicle is driven over 15mph. In this
mode, the sensor will transmit once every 15 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15
mph (24 km/h) for the first 30 transmissions. After about 8 minutes of continuous driving above 15
mph (24 km/h), the sensor's mode will change to Drive Mode
- Drive Mode - In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every minute when the vehicle is driven
at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). At any time that the vehicle speed drops below 15mph, the
sensor will not transmit. The sensor mode will still be in drive mode when the sensor reaches
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). If the vehicle has been stationary for more then 20 minutes, the
TPM sensor will change to PARK MODE.
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the wireless control module (WCM)
can monitor the state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The WCM can
automatically learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 10 minutes continuously above
15 m.p.h. (24 Km/h)" after a sensor has been replaced, The vehicle must be stationary for more
then 20 minutes in order to initiate the learning sequence.
The sensor IDs can also be programmed using the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool. Scan each TPM
sensor at each road wheel, and store each Sensor ID in the correct location. (LEFT FRONT, LEFT
REAR, RIGHT FRONT, and RIGHT REAR) Connect the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool to the Scan Tool.
Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic Scan Tool for "Program Tire Pressure
Sensor ID w/ TPM Tool" under "MISC" for the "WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE".

REMOVAL
1. Raise and support vehicle. 2. Remove tire and wheel assembly.
CAUTION: The cap used on this valve stem contains an O-ring seal to prevent contamination and
moisture from entering the valve stem. Do
not substitute a regular valve stem cap in its place.
CAUTION: The valve stem used on this vehicle is made of aluminum and the core is nickel plated
brass. The original valve stem core must be
reinstalled and not substituted with a valve stem core made of a different material. This is required
to prevent corrosion in the valve stem caused by the different metals.
3. Dismount tire from wheel following tire changer manufacturers instructions while paying special
attention to the following to avoid damaging the
pressure sensor: a. When breaking the tire bead loose from the wheel rim, avoid using the Bead
Breaker in the area of the sensor (1). That includes both outer and
inner beads of the tire.
b. When preparing to dismount the tire from the wheel, carefully insert the mounting/dismounting
tool 280° from the valve stem ± 10°, then
proceed to dismount the tire from the wheel. Use this process on both outer and inner tire beads.
4. Remove sensor nut (3) retaining sensor to wheel. While removing nut, hold pressure against
rear of metal valve stem to keep valve stem from
pushing rearward, damaging antenna strap.
5. Remove sensor (1) from wheel (2).

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Description and Operation Low Tire Pressure Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However,
on vehicles not equipped with the optional TPM, this indicator is electronically disabled. This
indicator is located in the speedometer dial face to the left of the speedometer needle hub in the
instrument cluster overlay.
The TPM indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of an icon that represents a cross-section of a
tire with a centered exclamation point in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The
dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The TPM indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Description and Operation Low Tire Pressure Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the status
of the TPM system. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit
board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the
Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM), over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The TPM indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED
always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the TPM indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the SKREEM sends an
electronic TPM indicator lamp-on message to the cluster to illuminate the TPM indicator for about
three seconds as a bulb test.
- TPM Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic TPM indicator
lamp-on message from the SKREEM, the TPM indicator illuminates. The indicator can be flashed
on and off, or illuminated solid, as dictated by the SKREEM message. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the SKREEM or until the ignition
switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no TPM lamp-on or lamp-off messages from the
SKREEM for six consecutive seconds, the TPM indicator is illuminated by the instrument cluster.
The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid lamp-on or lamp-off
message is received from the SKREEM.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the TPM indicator turns on, then off
again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the
cluster control circuitry.
The SKREEM performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position to
decide whether the TPM system is in good operating condition and whether the tire inflation
pressures are too high or low. The SKREEM then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message
to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). If the instrument
cluster turns on the TPM indicator after the bulb test, it indicates that the inflation pressure of a tire
is too low or that a malfunction has occurred and the TPM system is ineffective.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the TPM system, the SKREEM, the CCN, the
CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to TPM indicator operation. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

PREMIUM SYSTEM
A transponder, also known as a trigger module, is located in three of the four wheel wells (behind
the wheelhouse splash shields) of the vehicle to provide the WCM/SKREEM with the location of the
tire pressure sensors on the vehicle. A fourth transponder is not necessary in the remaining wheel
well due to the process-of-elimination theory. Once the system knows the location of the first three
sensors it assumes the location of the fourth tire pressure sensor.

Tire Pressure Monitor Receiver / Transponder: Description and Operation Tire Pressure Monitoring
(TPM) Transponder - Operation
OPERATION NUMBER: PREMIUM SYSTEM On vehicles equipped with the premium TPM
system, the Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote
Entry Module (SKREEM), uses transponders (trigger modules) located in three of the four wheel
wells on the vehicle to provide it with the location of the tire pressure sensors on the vehicle. Like
the base system, the WCM receives RF signals from all four rotating wheel speed sensors. When
the WCM needs to know which sensor is located at a particular location on the vehicle, it directs
the transponder at that location to send out a low frequency signal to excite the nearby sensor. The
WCM then receives that excited signal and knows where that sensor is located. This auto-locating
process only happens in the first 10 minutes of any WCM cycle while traveling at speeds above 20
mph (32 km/h) (Each WCM cycle ends when the vehicle has been shut off for a time period of
approximately 15 minutes or longer). Once the WCM has performed this to the three locations that
have transponders (left front, right front, and left rear wheel wells), it uses the
process-of-elimination theory to know that the fourth sensor ID signal is coming from the left rear
tire sensor.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures have been established for the tire size
equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. After-market wheels can
cause sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire sealants or balance beads if your vehicle is
equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
NOTE: After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always reinstall the valve stem cap. This will
prevent moisture and dirt from entering
the valve stem, which could damage the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor.
CAUTION: Tire pressure sensor valve stem caps and cores are specially designed for the sensors.
Due to risk of corrosion, do not use a
standard valve stem cap or core in a tire pressure sensor in place of the original equipment style
sensor cap and core.
CAUTION: After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always reinstall the valve stem cap. This
will prevent moisture and dirt from
entering the valve stem, which could damage the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new seal, cap and valve core must
be installed on the stem to ensure air tight
sealing.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system
accuracy.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensor Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System, one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel in place of the
traditional tire valve stem. Each sensor has an internal battery that lasts up to 10 years. The battery
is not serviceable. At the time of battery failure, the sensor must be replaced. The TPM system
operates on a 315 or 433 MHz radio frequency. The 315 MHz sensors can be easily identified by a
black sensor body, with (an oval insignia) (1). The 433 MHz sensors can be identified by a grey
sensor body with an oval insignia.
NOTE: If replacing the WCM, the spare tire must be dismounted from its wheel to access and note
the spare tire pressure sensor ID. Then
follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for "Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID"
under Miscellaneous Functions for the WCM wireless control module menu item as appropriate. In
addition, the placard pressure thresholds must be updated in the new WCM. Go to "Update
Pressure Thresholds" under Miscellaneous Functions for the WCM wireless control module and
follow the procedure.
On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System, one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel in place of the traditional tire valve stem. Each sensor has an internal
battery that lasts up to 10 years. The battery is not serviceable. At the time of battery failure, the
sensor must be replaced.
The TPM system operates on a 315 MHz radio frequency. The 315 MHz sensors can be easily
identified by a black sensor body, with (an oval insignia) (1) and a grey valve cap (2).
The Export TPM system operates on a 433 MHz radio frequency. The 433 MHz sensors can be
easily identified by a gray sensor body (with an oval insignia) and a black valve cap (2).
CAUTION: Although 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and shape, they are not
interchangeable. Always make sure the
correct sensor is being used.
NOTE: Domestic vehicles, use the 315 MHz TPM sensors with the BLACK sensor body. For Export
vehicles, use the 433 MHz TPM sensors
with the GREY sensor body. Although 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and
shape, they are not interchangeable. Always make sure the correct color sensor is being used. A
RKE-TPM Analyzer can be used to determine the sensor's frequency without having to dismount
the tire.
NOTE: If aftermarket wheels are installed and do not contain tire pressure sensors, the system will
not function properly and the driver will
be continuously notified of a system malfunction.
The TPM sensors are designed for original style factory wheels. It is not recommended to install a
tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. (This could cause sealing and system performance
issues).

The serviceable components of the tire pressure sensor are:
- Sensor-To-Wheel Seal (4)
- Valve Stem Cap (2)
- Valve Stem Core
- Valve Stem Nut (3)
The valve stem caps and cores used are specifically designed for the tire pressure monitoring
sensors. Although similar to standard valve stem caps and cores, they are different. The valve
stem cap has a special seal inside to keep moisture and corrosion out. The valve stem core has a
special nickel coating to protect from corrosion.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensor Operation
OPERATION
The battery operated tire pressure sensor is both a transmitter and a receiver. The TPM sensor can
be forced to transmit if using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor's operating mode and to diagnose a
faulty TPM sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission
from a sensor. The TPM sensor can be in one of the following modes:
- Sleep Mode - A new TPM sensor will be in this mode. If placed on the vehicle as a road tire, the
TPM sensor will transmit once every 20 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15 mph
(24 km/h). If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a pressure change greater
then 1 psi (6.9 kPA). Driving the vehicle continuously at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h) for more
then 4 minutes will change the sensor state into 30 BLOCK MODE. The TPM sensor will not return
to SLEEP MODE. Now, if the vehicle has been stopped for 20 minutes, the TPM sensor state will
change to PARK MODE.
- Park Mode - This is the correct operating mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will
transmit once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 1 PSI delta change. The
sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to determine a change
in tire pressure
30 Block Mode - If the vehicle has been stopped for more then 20 minutes, or if the sensor's
operating mode was forced to Park Mode using a TPM-RKE Analyzer, the sensor's operating mode
will transition from Park Mode to 30 Block Mode once the vehicle is driven over 15mph. In this
mode, the sensor will transmit once every 15 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15
mph (24 km/h) for the first 30 transmissions. After about 8 minutes of continuous driving above 15
mph (24 km/h), the sensor's mode will change to Drive Mode
- Drive Mode - In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every minute when the vehicle is driven
at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). At any time that the vehicle speed drops below 15mph, the
sensor will not transmit. The sensor mode will still be in drive mode when the sensor reaches
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). If the vehicle has been stationary for more then 20 minutes, the
TPM sensor will change to PARK MODE.
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the wireless control module (WCM)
can monitor the state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The WCM can
automatically learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 10 minutes continuously above
15 m.p.h. (24 Km/h)" after a sensor has been replaced, The vehicle must be stationary for more
then 20 minutes in order to initiate the learning sequence.
The sensor IDs can also be programmed using the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool. Scan each TPM
sensor at each road wheel, and store each Sensor ID in the correct location. (LEFT FRONT, LEFT
REAR, RIGHT FRONT, and RIGHT REAR) Connect the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool to the Scan Tool.
Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic Scan Tool for "Program Tire Pressure
Sensor ID w/ TPM Tool" under "MISC" for the "WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE".

REMOVAL
1. Raise and support vehicle. 2. Remove tire and wheel assembly.
CAUTION: The cap used on this valve stem contains an O-ring seal to prevent contamination and
moisture from entering the valve stem. Do
not substitute a regular valve stem cap in its place.
CAUTION: The valve stem used on this vehicle is made of aluminum and the core is nickel plated
brass. The original valve stem core must be
reinstalled and not substituted with a valve stem core made of a different material. This is required
to prevent corrosion in the valve stem caused by the different metals.
3. Dismount tire from wheel following tire changer manufacturers instructions while paying special
attention to the following to avoid damaging the
pressure sensor: a. When breaking the tire bead loose from the wheel rim, avoid using the Bead
Breaker in the area of the sensor (1). That includes both outer and
inner beads of the tire.
b. When preparing to dismount the tire from the wheel, carefully insert the mounting/dismounting
tool 280° from the valve stem ± 10°, then
proceed to dismount the tire from the wheel. Use this process on both outer and inner tire beads.
4. Remove sensor nut (3) retaining sensor to wheel. While removing nut, hold pressure against
rear of metal valve stem to keep valve stem from
pushing rearward, damaging antenna strap.

TIRES
Tires are designed and engineered for each specific vehicle. They provide the best overall
performance for normal operation. The ride and handling characteristics match the vehicle's
requirements. With proper care they will give excellent reliability, traction, skid resistance, and tread
life.
Driving habits have more effect on tire life than any other factor. Careful drivers will obtain in most
cases, much greater mileage than severe use or careless drivers. A few of the driving habits which
will shorten the life of any tire are:
- Rapid acceleration
- Severe brake applications
- High speed driving
- Excessive speeds on turns
- Striking curbs and other obstacles
Radial-ply tires are more prone to irregular tread wear. It is important to follow the tire rotation
interval See: Service and Repair/Procedures. This will help to achieve a greater tread life.
TIRE IDENTIFICATION
Tire type, size, aspect ratio and speed rating are encoded in the letters and numbers imprinted on
the side wall of the tire. Refer to the chart to decipher the tire identification code.
Performance tires have a speed rating letter after the aspect ratio number. The speed rating is not
always printed on the tire sidewall. These ratings are:
- Q up to 99 mph
- S up to 112 mph
- T up to 118 mph
- U up to 124 mph
- H up to 130 mph
- V up to 149 mph
- W (consult the tire manufacturer for the specific speed rating)
- Z more than 149 mph (consult the tire manufacturer for the specific speed rating)
An All Season type tire will have either M + S, M AND S or M-S (indicating mud and snow traction)
imprinted on the side wall.
TIRE CHAINS
Tire snow chains may be used on certain models.

Tires: Description and Operation Radial - Ply Tires
RADIAL-PLY TIRES
Radial-ply tires improve handling, tread life and ride quality, and decrease rolling resistance.
Radial-ply tires must always be used in sets of four. Under no circumstances should they be used
on the front only. They may be mixed with temporary spare tires when necessary. A maximum
speed of 80 KPH (50 MPH) is recommended while a temporary spare is in use.
Radial-ply tires have the same load-carrying capacity as other types of tires of the same size. They
also use the same recommended inflation pressures.
The use of oversized tires, either in the front or rear of the vehicle, can cause vehicle drive train
failure. This could also cause inaccurate wheel speed signals when the vehicle is equipped with
Anti-Lock Brakes.
The use of tires from different manufactures on the same vehicle is NOT recommended. The
proper tire pressure should be maintained on all four tires.

TIRE WEAR PATTERNS
Under inflation will cause wear on the shoulders of tire. Over inflation will cause wear at the center
of tire.
Excessive camber causes the tire to run at an angle to the road. One side of tread is then worn
more than the other.
Excessive toe-in or toe-out causes wear on the tread edges and a feathered effect across the
tread.

TIRE REPAIR AREA
For proper repairing, a radial tire must be removed from the wheel. Repairs should only be made if
the defect, or puncture, is in the tread area (1). The tire should be replaced if the puncture is
located in the sidewall.
Deflate tire completely before removing the tire from the wheel. Use lubrication such as a mild soap
solution when dismounting or mounting tire. Use tools free of burrs or sharp edges which could
damage the tire or wheel rim.
Before mounting tire on wheel, make sure all rust is removed from the rim bead and repaint if
necessary.
Install wheel on vehicle, and tighten to proper torque specification.

NOTE:
This information applies to any model equipped with Chrome Clad Wheels.
DISCUSSION:
Models equipped with Chrome Clad wheels require specific piloting on balance equipment to
properly center the wheel and prevent damage to the chrome clad surface. The chrome cladding is
not removable or replaceable and has cladding tabs that extend into the wheel bore. Traditional
high-taper cones will come into contact with the cladding tabs rather than properly seat on the hub
bore chamfer. Many modern aluminum wheel designs cannot be mounted with traditional cones.
Direct-Fit Collets should be used to properly mount clad wheels on balance equipment (Fig 1).
SPECIAL TOOLS/EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:
NOTE:
This kit includes the adapters for all Dodge, Chrysler & Jeep models with clad wheels. Individual
adapters for specific wheel sizes can be ordered separately. To order a kit or individual adapters,
contact Pentastar Service Equipment @ 1-800-223-5623.

Wheels: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The rim size is on the vehicle safety certification label located on the drivers door shut face.
Original equipment wheels/rims are designed for operation up to the specified maximum vehicle
capacity.
All models use stamped steel, cast aluminum or forged aluminum wheels. Every wheel has raised
sections between the rim flanges (1) and rim drop well (3) called safety humps.
Initial inflation of the tire forces the bead over these raised sections. In case of rapid loss of air
pressure, the raised sections help hold the tire on the wheel.
The wheel studs and nuts are designed for specific applications. All aluminum and some steel
wheels have wheel stud nuts with an enlarged nose. This enlarged nose is necessary to ensure
proper retention of the wheels. Do not use replacement studs or nuts with a different design or
lesser quality.

Wheels: Testing and Inspection
WHEEL INSPECTION
Inspect wheels for:
- Excessive run out
- Dents or cracks
- Damaged wheel lug nut holes
- Air Leaks from any area or surface of the rim
NOTE: Do not attempt to repair a wheel by hammering, heating or welding.
If a wheel is damaged an original equipment replacement wheel should be used. When obtaining
replacement wheels, they should be equivalent in load carrying capacity. The diameter, width,
offset, pilot hole and bolt circle of the wheel should be the same as the original wheel.
WARNING: Failure to use equivalent replacement wheels may adversely affect the safety and
handling of the vehicle. Used wheels are not
recommended. The service history of the wheel may have included severe treatment or very high
mileage. The rim could fail without warning.
WARNING: Chrysler LLC does not recommend that customers use "reconditioned" wheels (wheels
that have been damaged and repaired)
because they can result in a sudden catastrophic wheel failure which could cause loss of control
and result in injury or death.
For Clarification:
- Cosmetic refinishing for the purpose of repairing a superficial flaw is an acceptable procedure
providing it is limited to paint or clear coat only, the wheel is not modified in any way, and there is
no exposure to paint curing heat over 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Damaged wheels are those which have been bent, broken, cracked or sustained some other
physical damage which may have compromised the wheel structure
- Repaired indicates that the wheel has been modified through bending, welding, heating,
straightening, or material removal to rectify damage.
- Re-plating of chrome plated wheels is not an acceptable procedure nor is chrome plating of
original equipment painted or polished wheels, as this may alter mechanical properties and affect
fatigue life.

DESCRIPTION
Models with the single zone heating-A/C system have a single blend-air door, which is controlled
by a single blend door actuator (1). Models with the dual zone system have two blend-air doors,
which are controlled by two blend door actuators. The blend door actuators are reversible, 12-volt
direct current (DC), servo motors.
The blend door actuator for the single zone heating-A/C system is located on top of the HVAC
housing, behind the dash panel.
For the dual zone heating-A/C system, the same blend door actuator used for the single zone
system becomes the passenger side blend door actuator, which is mechanically connected to only
the passenger side blend-air door. A second separate blend door actuator located on the bottom of
the HVAC housing is mechanically connected to the driver side blend-air door.
The blend door actuators are interchangeable with the actuators for both mode-air doors and the
recirculation-air door. Each actuator is contained within an identical black molded plastic housing
with an integral wire connector receptacle. Three integral mounting tabs allow the actuator to be
secured to the HVAC housing. Each actuator also has an identical output shaft with splines that
connects it to a blend-air door. The blend door actuators do not require mechanical indexing to the
blend-air doors, as they are electronically calibrated by the A/C-heater control.

Front
OPERATION
The blend door actuators are connected to the A/C-heater control through the vehicle electrical
system by a dedicated two-wire lead and connector of the HVAC wire harness. The blend door
actuator(s) can move the blend-air door(s) in two directions. When the A/C-heater control 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 A/C-heater control reverses the polarity of the voltage to the
motor, the blend-air door moves in the opposite direction.
When the A/C-heater control makes the voltage to both connections high or both connections low,
the blend-air door stops and will not move. The A/C-heater control uses a pulse-count positioning
system to monitor the operation and relative position of the blend door actuator(s) and the blend-air
door(s). The A/C-heater control 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 actuators are diagnosed using a scan tool See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Tests and Associated Procedures.
The blend door actuators cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or
damaged.

OPERATION
The rear mode door actuator is connected to the A/C-heater control through the vehicle electrical
system by a dedicated two-wire lead and connector of the rear heater-A/C wire harness. The rear
mode door actuator can move the rear model-air door in two directions. When the A/C-heater
control pulls the voltage on one side of the motor connection high and the other connection low, the
rear mode-air door will move in one direction. When the A/C-heater control reverses the polarity of
the voltage to the motor, the rear mode-air door moves in the opposite direction.
When the A/C-heater control makes the voltage to both connections high or both connections low,
the rear mode-air door stops and will not move. The A/C-heater control uses a pulse-count
positioning system to monitor the operation and relative position of the rear mode door actuator
and the rear mode-air door. The A/C-heater control learns the rear mode-air door stop positions
during the calibration procedure and will store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for any problems it
detects in the rear mode door actuator circuit.

Air Door Actuator / Motor: Description and Operation
Front
DESCRIPTION
Models with the single zone heating-A/C system have a single blend-air door, which is controlled
by a single blend door actuator (1). Models with the dual zone system have two blend-air doors,
which are controlled by two blend door actuators. The blend door actuators are reversible, 12-volt
direct current (DC), servo motors.
The blend door actuator for the single zone heating-A/C system is located on top of the HVAC
housing, behind the dash panel.
For the dual zone heating-A/C system, the same blend door actuator used for the single zone
system becomes the passenger side blend door actuator, which is mechanically connected to only
the passenger side blend-air door. A second separate blend door actuator located on the bottom of
the HVAC housing is mechanically connected to the driver side blend-air door.
The blend door actuators are interchangeable with the actuators for both mode-air doors and the
recirculation-air door. Each actuator is contained within an identical black molded plastic housing
with an integral wire connector receptacle. Three integral mounting tabs allow the actuator to be
secured to the HVAC housing. Each actuator also has an identical output shaft with splines that
connects it to a blend-air door. The blend door actuators do not require mechanical indexing to the
blend-air doors, as they are electronically calibrated by the A/C-heater control.

Temperature Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The ambient air temperature sensor is a variable resistor that operates on a ground circuit and a
5-volt reference signal circuit sent by the front control module (FCM) through a two-wire lead and
connector of the vehicle wire harness. The ambient air temperature sensor changes its internal
resistance in response to changes in the outside air temperature, which either increases or
decreases the reference signal voltage read by the FCM. The FCM converts and broadcasts the
sensor data over the controller area network (CAN) B bus, where it is read by the A/C-heater
control and other various vehicle control modules.
The ambient air temperature sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Tests and Associated Procedures.
The ambient air temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if
inoperative or damaged See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Outside

Auxiliary Water Pump: Description and Operation Auxiliary HVAC Heater Pump - Description
DESCRIPTION
An auxiliary HVAC heater pump (1) is used to provide coolant flow through the front and rear
heater cores on the Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) models when operating the vehicle during both
gasoline and electric motor operating modes.
The auxiliary HVAC heater pump is mounted to the right side frame rail (4) in the engine
compartment by a bracket (5) and contains an electric motor that drives a vane-type pump using a
magnetic clutch. The pump housing has and electrical connector (6) for the motor and two
connections for the heater hoses (2). The heater hoses are secured to the front of the pump
housing by spring-type hose clamps (3).
The auxiliary HVAC heater pump is of the identical design as the electric coolant pump for the
Traction Power Inverter Module (TPIM), but is NOT interchangeable with the TPIM coolant pump
due to different pump software.

Auxiliary Water Pump: Description and Operation Auxiliary HVAC Heater Pump - Operation
OPERATION
The auxiliary HVAC heater pump for the Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) provides engine coolant flow
through the front and rear heater cores during gasoline and electric motor operating modes.
The auxiliary HVAC heater pump is controlled by the A/C-heater control and has a variable flow
rate of approximately 8 - 19 liters (2 - 5 gallons) per minute.
When the gasoline engine is operating below 1000 rpm, the auxiliary HVAC heater pump boosts
engine coolant flow through the heater cores at the rate of 8 liters (2 gallons) per minute. When in
electric operating mode, the A/C-heater control determines coolant flow rate based on infrared
sensor data and customer temperature settings.
The auxiliary HVAC heater pump is connected to the Powertrain control Module (PCM) via a Local
Interconnect Network (LIN) bus. The A/C-heater control sends a flow rate command message to
the Front Control Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) B bus. The FCM then
converts and broadcasts the message over the CAN C bus to the PCM. The PCM converts the
gallons per minute command from the A/C-heater control to a pump target RPM. If the A/C-heater
control sends a non-zero flow rate command to the PCM and the PCM responds with a zero flow
rate actual message, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.
The auxiliary HVAC heater pump can be actuated and diagnosed using a scan tool See:
Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic
Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures.
NOTE: The auxiliary HVAC heater pump is of the identical design as the electric coolant pump for
the Traction Power Inverter Module
(TPIM), but is NOT interchangeable with the TPIM coolant pump due to different pump software.
The auxiliary HVAC heater pump cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if
inoperative or damaged.

HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
Chrysler 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 Chrysler
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. All switches,
components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and the key
removed from the ignition. 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.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
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.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7117
- 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.
- 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. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
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
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory 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.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))

Information and Instructions > Page 7118
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.

DESCRIPTION
The rear blower motor (1) and blower wheel (2) is located in the rear heater-A/C housing behind
the right interior quarter panel trim and is connected to rear heater-A/C wire harness by a integral
wire harness connector (3). The rear blower motor controls the velocity of air flowing through the
rear heater-A/C housing by spinning the wide squirrel cage-type blower wheel at the selected
speed. Rear blower motor speed is controlled by regulating the ground path through the rear
blower motor switch and the rear blower motor resistor.

Organization (ISO)-type relay. Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical
dimensions, current capacities, terminal function and patterns (2). The front blower motor relay is a
electromechanical device that switches battery current from a fuse in the power distribution center
(PDC) directly to the front blower motor when equipped with the manual temperature control (MTC)
system, or the blower motor power module when equipped with the automatic temperature control
(ATC) system. The front blower motor relay is energized when the relay coil is provided a ground
circuit through the integrated power module. The front blower motor relay is located in the power
distribution center (PDC) in the engine compartment. Refer to the PDC label for front blower motor
relay identification and location.

Blower Motor Relay: Description and Operation Front Blower Motor Relay - Operation
OPERATION
The ISO-standard front blower motor relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current
input from the battery to control the high current output to the front blower motor. The movable,
common feed relay contact is held against the fixed, normally closed relay contact by spring
pressure. When the electromagnetic relay coil is energized, it draws the movable common feed
relay contact away from the fixed, normally closed relay contact and, holds it against the fixed,
normally open relay contact. This action allows high current to flow to the front blower motor.
When the relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns the movable relay contact back
against the fixed, normally closed contact point. The resistor or diode is connected in parallel with
the relay coil, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be
generated as the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The front blower motor relay terminals are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
receptacle in the power distribution center (PDC). The inputs and outputs of the front blower motor
relay include:
- The common feed terminal (30) receives battery current through a fuse in the PDC at all times.
- The coil ground terminal (85) receives a ground circuit through the integrated power module.
- The coil battery terminal (86) receives battery current through a fuse in the PDC at all times.
- The normally open terminal (87) provides battery current output to the front blower motor when
equipped with the manual temperature control (MTC) system, or the blower motor power module
when equipped with the automatic temperature control (ATC) system only when the front 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 front blower motor relay coil is de-energized.
The front blower motor relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or
damaged. See Wiring Information for diagnosis and testing of the blower motor relay and for
complete HVAC wiring diagrams.

DESCRIPTION
A blower motor resistor is used on vehicles equipped with the manual temperature control (MTC)
heating-A/C system. Vehicles equipped with the automatic temperature control (ATC) heating-A/C
system use a blower motor power module, instead of the blower motor resistor See: Control
Module HVAC/Description and Operation/Front Blower Motor Power Module - Description.
The front blower motor resistor is mounted to the rear of the HVAC housing, directly behind the
glove box. The blower motor resistor consists of a molded plastic mounting plate (1) with an
integral wire connector receptacle (2). Concealed behind the mounting plate are coiled resistor
wires contained within a ceramic heat sink (3). The front blower motor resistor is accessed for
service from beneath the right side of the instrument panel.

Blower Motor Resistor: Description and Operation Operation - Front
OPERATION
The blower motor resistor is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated wire
lead and connector of the HVAC wire harness. The blower motor resistor has multiple 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 MTC heating-A/C system directs the ground path for the blower
motor through the correct resistor wire to obtain the selected speed. With the blower motor control
in the lowest speed position, the ground path for the blower motor is applied through all of the
resistor wires. Each higher speed selected with the blower motor control applies the blower motor
ground path through fewer of the resistor wires, increasing the blower motor speed.
The blower motor resistor cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or
damaged.

Compressor Clutch: Description and Operation A/C Compressor Clutch - Operation
A/C CLUTCH - GAS MODELS
The clutch components for the Denso 10SR17 and 10SRE20 A/C compressors provide the means
to engage and disengage the A/C compressor from the engine accessory drive belt. When the
electromagnetic A/C clutch field 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 assembly.
The A/C compressor clutch engagement is controlled by the following components:
- A/C clutch relay in the Power Distribution Center (PDC)
- A/C-heater control in the passenger compartment
- A/C pressure transducer on the A/C discharge line
- Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in the engine compartment
The A/C compressor clutch components cannot be repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or
damaged.

Compressor Clutch Coil: Testing and Inspection
A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH COIL
The clutch coil electrical circuit for the A/C compressor on gasoline only models are controlled by
the powertrain control module (PCM) through the A/C compressor clutch relay, which is located in
the power distribution center (PDC) in the engine compartment. Begin testing of a suspected
compressor clutch coil problem by performing the preliminary checks.
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
1. If the compressor clutch will not engage, perform the A/C System Performance Test, which is
found within the HVAC System Test See: Testing
and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/HVAC System Test. If no diagnostic
trouble codes (DTCs) are found in the A/C-heater control or the powertrain control module (PCM),
go to 2. If any DTCs are found, repair as required.
2. If the compressor clutch still will not engage, verify the refrigerant charge level See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics. If the refrigerant charge level is OK, go to TESTS. If the refrigerant charge level is not
OK, adjust the refrigerant charge as required.
TESTS
1. Verify the battery state of charge See: Starting and Charging/Battery/Testing and
Inspection/Battery. 2. Connect an ammeter (0 to 10 ampere scale selected) in series with the clutch
field coil feed terminal using Back Probe Tool 6801. Connect a
voltmeter (0 to 20 volt scale selected) to measure voltage across the battery and the clutch coil.
3. With the A/C-heater control in the A/C mode and the blower at low speed, start the engine and
allow it to run at a normal idle speed. 4. The compressor clutch should engage immediately and the
clutch coil supply voltage should be within two volts of the battery voltage. If the coil
supply voltage is OK, go to 5. If the coil supply voltage is not within two volts of battery voltage, test
the clutch coil feed circuit for excessive voltage drop and repair as necessary.
5. The A/C clutch coil current draw should be 2.2 - 4.0 amps @ 12 volt ± 0.5 volt. Specifications
apply for a work area temperature of 21° C (70° F).
If voltage is more than 12.5 volts, add electrical loads by turning on electrical accessories until
voltage reads below 12.5 volts. a. If the compressor clutch coil current reading is zero, the coil is
open and must be replaced. b. If the compressor clutch coil current reading is above specifications,
the coil is shorted and must be replaced.

Compressor Clutch Relay: Description and Operation A/C Clutch Relay - Description
DESCRIPTION
The A/C clutch relay (1) is a International Standards Organization (ISO) micro-relay. Relays
conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical dimensions, current capacities,
terminal functions and patterns (2). 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 A/C clutch relay is located in the power distribution center (PDC) in the engine compartment.

Description and Operation > A/C Clutch Relay - Description > Page 7194
Compressor Clutch Relay: Description and Operation A/C Clutch Relay - Operation
OPERATION
The ISO-standard A/C clutch micro-relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current
input controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM) to control the high current output to the
A/C clutch field coil. The movable, common feed relay contact is held against the fixed, normally
closed relay contact by spring pressure. When the electromagnetic relay coil is energized, it draws
the movable common feed relay contact away from the fixed, normally closed relay contact and,
holds it against the fixed, normally open relay contact. This action allows high current to flow to the
A/C clutch field coil.
When the relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns the movable relay contact back
against the fixed, normally closed contact point. The resistor or diode is connected in parallel with
the relay coil, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be
generated as the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The A/C clutch relay terminals are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a receptacle
in the power distribution center (PDC). The inputs and outputs of the A/C clutch relay include:
- The common feed terminal (30) receives fused battery current at all times.
- The coil ground terminal (85) receives a ground input from the PCM through the A/C clutch relay
control circuit only when the PCM electronically pulls the control circuit to ground.
- The coil battery terminal (86) receives fused battery current through a 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 A/C clutch coil through
the A/C 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
a battery current output only when the A/C clutch relay coil is de-energized.
The A/C clutch relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or
damaged. See Wiring Information for diagnosis and testing of the A/C clutch relay and for complete
HVAC wiring diagrams.

Condenser HVAC: Description and Operation A/C Condenser - Description
DESCRIPTION
The A/C condenser (2) is located in the front of the engine compartment inside of the condenser
fan shroud (3). The A/C condenser is a heat exchanger that allows the high-pressure refrigerant
gas being discharged by the A/C compressor to give up its heat to the air passing over the
condenser fins, which causes the refrigerant to change to a liquid state.
The A/C condenser is retained within the condenser fan shroud by two bolts (1).
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Condenser HVAC > Component Information > Description and
Operation > A/C Condenser - Description > Page 7202
Condenser HVAC: Description and Operation A/C Condenser - Operation
OPERATION
When air passes through the fins of the A/C condenser, the high-pressure refrigerant gas within the
A/C condenser gives up its heat. The refrigerant then condenses as it leaves the A/C condenser
and becomes a high-pressure liquid. The volume of air flowing over the condenser fins is critical to
the proper cooling performance of the A/C system. Therefore, it is important that there are no
objects placed in front of the radiator grille openings at the front of the vehicle or foreign material on
the condenser fins that might obstruct proper air flow. Also, any factory-installed air seals or
shrouds must be properly reinstalled following radiator or A/C condenser service.
NOTE: Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals and gaskets is required anytime a
refrigerant line is disconnected. Failure to replace
the rubber O-ring seals and metal gaskets could result in a refrigerant system leak.
The A/C condenser has no serviceable parts except for the O-ring seals and gaskets. The O-ring
seals used on the connections are made from a special type of rubber not affected by R-134a
refrigerant. The O-ring seals and gaskets must be replaced whenever a refrigerant line is
disconnected from the A/C condenser.
The A/C condenser cannot be repaired and must be replaced if leaking or damaged.

Control Module HVAC: Description and Operation Front Blower Motor Power Module - Description
DESCRIPTION
A blower motor power module is used on this model when it is equipped with the automatic
temperature control (ATC) heating-A/C system. Models equipped with the manual temperature
control (MTC) heating-A/C system use a blower motor resistor block, instead of the blower motor
power module .
The blower motor power module is mounted to the rear of the HVAC housing, directly behind the
glove box. The blower motor power module consists of a molded plastic mounting plate with two
integral connector receptacles (1). Concealed behind the mounting plate is the power module
electronic circuitry and a large finned heat sink (2). The blower motor power module is accessed for
service from beneath the right side of the instrument panel.

and Operation > Front Blower Motor Power Module - Description > Page 7263
Control Module HVAC: Description and Operation Front Blower Motor Power Module - Operation
OPERATION
The blower motor power module is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
lead and connector of the HVAC wire harness. A second connector receptacle receives the wire
harness connector from the blower motor. The blower motor power module allows the
microprocessor-based Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) A/C-heater control 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 that compares the PWM signal voltage to the
blower motor feedback voltage. The resulting output drives the power module circuitry, which
provides a linear output voltage to change or maintain the desired blower speed.
The blower motor power module is diagnosed using a scan tool See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Tests and Associated Procedures.
The blower motor power module cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if
inoperative or damaged.

Evaporator Core: Description and Operation Front A/C Evaporator - Description
DESCRIPTION
The A/C evaporator (1) for the front heating-A/C system is located within the front HVAC housing
(2), behind the instrument panel. The A/C evaporator and insulator (3) are positioned in the HVAC
housing so that all air entering the housing must pass over the evaporator fins before it is
distributed through the heating-A/C system ducts and outlets. However, air passing over the
evaporator fins will only be conditioned when the A/C compressor is engaged and circulating
refrigerant through the A/C evaporator.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Evaporator Core > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Front A/C Evaporator - Description > Page 7292
Evaporator Core: Description and Operation Front A/C Evaporator - Operation
OPERATION
Refrigerant enters the A/C evaporator from the A/C expansion valve as a low-temperature,
low-pressure mixture of liquid and gas. As air flows over the fins of the A/C 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 A/C evaporator.
NOTE: Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals and gaskets is required anytime a
refrigerant line or expansion valve is disconnected.
Failure to replace the rubber O-ring seals and metal gaskets could result in a refrigerant system
leak.
The A/C evaporator has no serviceable parts except for the O-ring seals. The O-ring seals used on
the connections are made from a special type of rubber not affected by R-134a refrigerant. The
O-ring seals must be replaced whenever the A/C expansion valve is removed from the A/C
evaporator.
The A/C evaporator cannot be repaired and must be replaced if leaking or damaged.

Temperature Sensor - Description
DESCRIPTION
The evaporator temperature sensor (1) is an electrical thermistor located within a molded plastic
case that is inserted into the HVAC housing (2) to measure the temperature of the conditioned air
downstream of the A/C evaporator (3). Two terminals within the connector receptacle connect the
sensor to the vehicle electrical system through a wire lead and connector of the HVAC wire
harness.
NOTE: Cutaway of typical HVAC housing shown for clarity in illustration.
The external location of the evaporator temperature sensor allows the sensor to be removed or
installed without disturbing the refrigerant in the A/C system.

Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Front Evaporator
Temperature Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The evaporator temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the conditioned air downstream of
the A/C evaporator and supplies an input signal to the A/C-heater control. The A/C-heater control
uses the evaporator temperature sensor input signal to optimize A/C system performance and to
protect the A/C system from evaporator freezing. The evaporator temperature sensor will change
its internal resistance in response to the temperatures it monitors and is connected to the
A/C-heater control through sensor ground circuit and a 5-volt reference signal circuit. As the
temperature of the A/C evaporator decreases, the internal resistance of the evaporator temperature
sensor decreases. On gasoline engine equipped models, the A/C-heater control uses the
monitored voltage reading as an indication of evaporator temperature and that conditions are
correct to broadcast an A/C request message on the Controller Area Network (CAN) B bus, where
it is read by the Front Control Module (FCM). The FCM then requests the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) to cycle the A/C compressor clutch as necessary over the CAN C bus.
On Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) models, the A/C-heater control calculates an evaporator
temperature target based on A/C load. This target temperature is compared with the actual
evaporator temperature sensor value. Based on this comparison, the A/C-heater control sends out
a compressor target RPM speed over the CAN B bus to the FCM. The FCM then ports the target
message to the electric A/C compressor over the CAN C bus. If the A/C-heater control does not
receive the electric A/C compressor messages, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set.
The evaporator temperature sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Tests and Associated Procedures.
The evaporator temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if
inoperative or damaged.

Expansion Valve: Description and Operation A/C Expansion Valve - Operation
Front
OPERATION
The A/C expansion valve controls the flow of high-pressure, low temperature liquid refrigerant
entering the expansion valve and converts it into a low-pressure, low-temperature mixture of liquid
and gas before it enters the A/C evaporator. To meet the vehicles A/C cooling requirements, a
mechanical sensor is used in the A/C expansion valve to monitor the temperature and pressure of
the refrigerant leaving the A/C evaporator and then adjust the inlet port orifice size to allow only the
proper amount of refrigerant to enter the evaporator. Controlling the refrigerant flow through the
A/C evaporator ensures that none of the refrigerant leaving the evaporator is still in a liquid state,
which could damage the A/C compressor.
NOTE: Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals and gaskets is required anytime a
refrigerant line or expansion valve is disconnected.
Failure to replace the rubber O-ring seals and metal gaskets could result in a refrigerant system
leak.
The A/C expansion valve is factory calibrated and cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be
replaced if inoperative or damaged.

WARNING: Refer to the applicable warnings and cautions for this system before performing the
following operation See: Service
Precautions/Warning and See: Service Precautions/Caution . Failure to follow the warnings and
cautions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
NOTE: Liquid CO2 is required to test the A/C expansion valve. This material is available from most
welding supply facilities. Liquid CO2 is
also available from companies which service and sell fire extinguishers. DO NOT use R-134a or
R-12 refrigerant for this test.
When testing the A/C expansion valve, the work area and the vehicle temperature must be 21° to
27° C (70° to 85° F). To test the expansion valve:
NOTE: The A/C expansion valve should only be tested following testing of the A/C compressor.
1. Verify the A/C compressor is operating to design standards See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics. 2. Connect a charging station or manifold
gauge set to the refrigerant system service ports. Verify the refrigerant charge level. 3. Close all
doors and windows. 4. Set the A/C-heater controls to the following positions:
- temperature control to full warm
- mode control to floor
- blower motor control to high speed
5. Start the engine and allow it to idle. 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 A/C evaporator.
6. With passenger compartment heated up, set the A/C-heater controls to the following positions:
- A/C compressor engaged
- temperature control to full cold
- mode control to panel
- blower motor control to high speed
7. With the correct refrigerant charge level, the high pressure gauge should read approximately 930
kPa to 1725 kPa (135 psi to 250 psi) and the low
pressure gauge should read approximately 175 kPa to 380 kPa (25 psi to 55 psi). If OK, go to 8. If
not OK, replace the faulty A/C expansion valve.
WARNING:
Protect the skin and eyes from exposure to liquid CO2 or possible serious injury can result.
8. If the low pressure gauge reads within the specified range, freeze the A/C expansion valve for 30
seconds using liquid CO2 or another suitable
super-cold material. Do not spray R-134a or R-12 refrigerant on the A/C expansion valve for this
test. The low pressure gauge reading should drop by 70 kPa (10 psi). If OK, go to 9 If not OK,
replace the faulty A/C expansion valve.
9. Allow the expansion valve control head to thaw. The low pressure gauge reading should stabilize
at approximately 175 kPa to 380 kPa (25 psi to
55 psi). If not OK, replace the faulty A/C expansion valve.

Heater Core: Description and Operation Front Heater Core - Operation
OPERATION
Engine coolant is circulated through the heater hoses to the heater core at all times. As the coolant
flows through the heater core, heat is removed from the engine and is transferred to the heater
core tubes and fins. Air directed through the heater core picks up the heat from the heater core
fins. The blend-air door(s) allows control of the heater output air temperature by regulating the
amount of air flowing through the heater core. The blower motor speed controls the volume of air
flowing through the HVAC housing.
The heater core cannot be repaired and must be replaced if restricted, leaking or damaged.

High Pressure Safety Valve HVAC: Description and Operation High Pressure Relief Valve Operation
HIGH PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
The high pressure relief valve vents refrigerant from the A/C system when a discharge pressure of
3445 to 4135 kPa (500 to 600 psi) or above is reached. The high pressure relief valve closes with a
minimum discharge pressure of 2756 kPa (400 psi) is reached.
The high pressure relief valve should not open when the A/C system is operating correctly. If the
high pressure relief valve vents refrigerant, there is most likely a problem within the A/C refrigerant
system. The high pressure relief valve vents only enough refrigerant to reduce the A/C system
pressure, and then re-seats itself. If the high pressure relief valve vents refrigerant, see the A/C
System Diagnosis chart See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics.
The high pressure relief valve is factory-calibrated and cannot be adjusted or repaired, and must
not be removed or otherwise disturbed. The valve is only serviced as a part of the A/C compressor.

Housing Assembly HVAC: Description and Operation Front
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: Front single zone system shown. Front dual zone system similar.
All models are equipped with a common HVAC housing (9) that combines A/C and heating
capabilities into a single unit mounted within the passenger compartment.
The heating-A/C system is a blend-air type system. In a blend-air system, blend-air doors (11) are
used to control the amount of conditioned air that is allowed to flow through, or around the heater
core (14). The temperature of the discharge air is varied by operating the blend door actuator (4),
which moves the blend-air doors. In the available dual zone system, two blend door actuators and
four blend-air doors are used to provide independent side-to-side temperature control of the
discharge air. This design allows an almost immediate control of the output air temperature of the
system. The electric actuators are connected to the vehicle electrical system by the HVAC wire
harness (1).
The mode door actuators (12) operate the mode-air doors (10 and 13), which direct the flow of the
conditioned air out the various air outlets (depending on the mode selected). The recirculation door
actuator (3), operates the recirculation-air door (2), which closes off the fresh air intake and
recirculates the air already inside the vehicle.
The blower motor (8) controls the velocity of air flowing through the HVAC housing by spinning the
blower wheel (6) within the HVAC housing at the selected speed by use of the blower motor
resistor block or power module (7) (depending on application). The A/C system is designed for the
use of a non-CFC, R-134a refrigerant and uses an A/C evaporator (5) to cool and dehumidify the
incoming air prior to blending it with the heated air.
The front HVAC housing must be removed from the vehicle and disassembled for service of the
A/C evaporator, recirculation-air door, mode-air doors, blend-air doors and linkage.

DESCRIPTION
Models equipped with the rear heating-A/C system are equipped with a common rear heater-A/C
housing (1) that combines A/C and heating capabilities into a single unit mounted within the
passenger compartment. The rear heating-A/C system is a blend-air type system. A blend door
actuator (7) operates the blend-air door which controls the amount of conditioned air that is allowed
to flow through, or around, the heater core (6). The rear A/C system is designed for the use of a
non-CFC, R-134a refrigerant and uses an A/C expansion valve (5) and an A/C evaporator (4) to
cool and dehumidify the incoming air prior to blending it with the heated air. A temperature control
determines the discharge air temperature by operating the blend door actuator, which moves the
blend-air door. This allows an almost immediate control of the output air temperature of the system.
The mode door actuator (8) operates the mode-air door which directs the flow of the conditioned air
out the upper or lower air outlets, depending on the discharge air temperature selected. Both
electric actuators are connected to the vehicle electrical system by the rear heater-A/C wire
harness. The rear blower motor (2) controls the velocity of air flowing through the rear heater-A/C
housing by spinning the blower wheel at the selected speed by use of the rear blower motor
resistor (3).
The rear heater-A/C housing must be removed from the vehicle for service of the blower motor and
disassembled for service of the A/C evaporator, heater core, mode-air door and blend-air door.

Humidity Sensor: Description and Operation Humidity Sensor - Description
DESCRIPTION
A humidity sensor (1) is used on HEV models to detect humidity levels inside the vehicle to
optimize the dehumidifying effect of the A/C system, which reduces electronic air conditioning
(EAC) power consumption. The humidity sensor attaches to the interior rear view mirror base (2)
and is connected to the vehicle electrical system by a wire lead and connector of the mirror wire
harness (3).
The humidity sensor can be serviced from the interior rear view mirror without the use of any
special tools.

Operation > Humidity Sensor - Description > Page 7428
Humidity Sensor: Description and Operation Humidity Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The humidity sensor detects humidity, dew point, windshield temperature and infrared sensor data
and sends this information to the Hybrid Gateway Module (HGM) via a Local Interconnect Network
(LIN) bus connection. The HGM then sends the message via the Controller Area Network (CAN) C
bus to the Front Control Module (FCM), which ports the message to the A/C-heater control over the
CAN B bus. If the humidity sensor message is not received by the A/C-heater control, the
evaporator logic will be disabled, the evaporator target will be set to 3.3° C (38° F) and a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set. The information the A/C-heater control receives from the
humidity sensor can be viewed using a scan tool.
The humidity sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool See: Powertrain Management/Computers and
Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated
Procedures.

Receiver Dryer: Description and Operation Front A/C Receiver Drier - Operation
OPERATION
The A/C receiver/drier performs a filtering action to prevent foreign material in the refrigerant from
contaminating the A/C expansion valve. Refrigerant enters the A/C receiver/drier as a
high-pressure, low temperature liquid. Desiccant inside the A/C receiver/drier absorbs any moisture
which may have entered and become trapped within the refrigerant system. In addition, during
periods of high demand operation of the A/C system, the A/C receiver/drier acts as a reservoir to
store surplus refrigerant.
NOTE: Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals and gaskets is required anytime a
refrigerant line is disconnected. Failure to replace
the rubber O-ring seals and metal gaskets could result in a refrigerant system leak.
The A/C receiver/drier has no serviceable parts except for the O-ring seals, gaskets and the high
side service port valve and cap. The O-ring seals used on the connections are made from a special
type of rubber not affected by R-134a refrigerant. The O-ring seals and gaskets must be replaced
whenever the A/C receiver/drier is removed.
The A/C receiver/drier cannot be repaired and must be replaced if leaking or damaged, or if an
internal failure of the A/C compressor has occurred.

A/C REFRIGERANT
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 nontoxic, nonflammable, clear and colorless liquefied
gas.
CAUTION: R-134a refrigerant is not compatible with R-12 refrigerant in an A/C system. Even a
small amount of R-12 refrigerant added to an
R-134a refrigerant system will cause A/C compressor failure.
The A/C refrigerant system is filled-for-life at the factory and requires no regular maintenance.
Although not required at specific intervals, the charge level should be checked if system
performance deteriorates or if a noise or leak is suspected See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics.

OPERATION
R-134a refrigerant is not compatible with R-12 refrigerant in an A/C system. Even a small amount
of R-12 refrigerant added to an R-134a refrigerant system will cause A/C compressor failure,
refrigerant oil sludge or poor A/C 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 refrigerant 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 A/C compressor to identify that the A/C system is
equipped with R-134a refrigerant.

REFRIGERANT SYSTEM EVACUATE
NOTE: Special effort must be used to prevent moisture from entering the A/C system oil. Moisture
in the oil is very difficult to remove and
will cause a reliability problem with the compressor.
If a compressor designed to use R-134a refrigerant is left open to the atmosphere for an extended
period of time. It is recommended that the refrigerant oil be drained and replaced with new oil or a
new A/C compressor be used. This will eliminate the possibility of contaminating the refrigerant
system.
If the refrigerant system has been open to the atmosphere, it must be evacuated before the system
can be filled. Moisture and air mixed with the refrigerant will raise the compressor head pressure
above acceptable operating levels. This will reduce the performance of the A/C system and
damage the A/C compressor. Moisture will boil at near room temperature when exposed to
vacuum. To evacuate the refrigerant system:
NOTE: When connecting the service equipment coupling to the line fitting, verify that the valve of
the coupling is fully closed. This will reduce
the amount of effort required to make the connection.
1. Recover the refrigerant system See: Service and Repair/Refrigerant System Recovery. 2.
Connect a suitable charging station, refrigerant recovery machine or a manifold gauge set with
vacuum pump and refrigerant recovery equipment
See: Service and Repair/Refrigerant System Recovery.
3. Open the suction and discharge valves and start the vacuum pump. The vacuum pump should
run a minimum of 45 minutes prior to charge to
eliminate all moisture in system. When the suction gauge reads -88 kPa (-26 in. Hg) vacuum or
greater for 30 minutes, close all valves and turn off vacuum pump. If the system fails to reach
specified vacuum, the refrigerant system likely has a leak that must be corrected. If the refrigerant
system maintains specified vacuum for at least 30 minutes, start the vacuum pump, open the
suction and discharge valves. Then allow the system to evacuate an additional 10 minutes.
4. Close all valves. Turn off and disconnect the vacuum pump. 5. Charge the refrigerant system
See: Service and Repair/Refrigerant System Charge.

Refrigerant Oil: Capacity Specifications
REFRIGERANT OIL CAPACITY
When an A/C system is assembled at the factory, all components except the A/C compressor are
refrigerant oil free. After the refrigerant system has been charged and operated, the refrigerant oil
in the A/C compressor is dispersed throughout the refrigerant system. The A/C receiver/drier, A/C
evaporator, A/C condenser and the A/C compressor will each retain a significant amount of the
needed refrigerant oil.
It is important to have the correct amount of refrigerant oil in the A/C system. This ensures proper
lubrication of the A/C compressor. Too little oil will result in damage to the A/C compressor, while
too much oil will reduce the cooling capacity of the A/C system and consequently result in higher
discharge air temperatures.
CAUTION: Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) oil can contaminate the refrigerant system of a Hybrid
Electric Vehicle (HEV) and lead to A/C system
damage and failure. If the refrigerant recovery/recycling and charging equipment was last used on
a non-HEV model, flush the hoses of the equipment with a solvent approved by the equipment
manufacturer before using the equipment on an HEV model, or use refrigerant recovery/recycling
and charging equipment designated only for HEV models by your service facility. See the operating
instructions supplied by the equipment manufacturer for proper use and care of the refrigerant
recovery/recycling and charging equipment.
CAUTION: ND-11 Polyester (POE) oil is used in the Denso ES34 A/C compressor found on HEV
models. Never use PAG oil in an HEV model
or operate the A/C system with an incorrect amount of oil in the system. Failure to follow this
caution may result in serious damage to the HEV A/C system.
CAUTION: ND-8 PAG oil is used in the Denso 10SR17 and 10SRE20 A/C compressors found on
gasoline engine models. Only refrigerant oil of
the same type should be used to service these A/C systems. Do not use any other refrigerant oil.
Failure to follow this caution may result in serious damage to the A/C system.
CAUTION: A/C refrigerant oil containers should be kept tightly capped until ready for use and then
tightly capped after use to prevent
contamination from moisture and dirt. Refrigerant oil quickly absorbs moisture it comes in contact
with, therefore, special effort must be used to keep all A/C system components moisture-free.
Moisture in refrigerant oil is very difficult to remove and will cause a reliability problem with the A/C
compressor.
NOTE: Most reclaim/recycling equipment will measure the lubricant being removed during
recovery. This amount of lubricant should be
added back into the system. Refer to the reclaim/recycling equipment manufacturers instructions.
It will not be necessary to check the oil level in the A/C 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 A/C condenser, A/C receiver/drier or A/C evaporator is
replaced (see Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart).
The refrigerant oil level in a new A/C compressor must first be adjusted prior to compressor
installation (see Compressor Oil Drain Procedure).

The refrigerant oil used in the R-134a refrigerant system on models equipped with 3.7L, 4.7L and
5.7L gasoline engine, 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. Each PAG oil contains a different additive package. A/C
compressors in 3.7L, 4.7L and 5.7L gas engine models are designed to use ND-8 refrigerant oil.
Use only this type of refrigerant oil.

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 A/C compressor damage, and too much can reduce A/C system
performance.
PAG refrigerant oil is 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.

DESCRIPTION
The A/C pressure transducer (1) is a switch that is installed on a fitting located on the A/C
discharge line. An internally threaded fitting on the A/C pressure transducer connects it to the
externally threaded Schrader-type fitting on the A/C discharge line. A rubber O-ring seals the
connection between the A/C pressure transducer and the discharge line fitting. The A/C pressure
transducer is connected to the vehicle electrical system by a molded plastic connector with three
terminals.

Information > Description and Operation > Front A/C Pressure Transducer - Description > Page 7469
Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Front A/C Pressure Transducer Operation
OPERATION
The A/C pressure transducer monitors the pressures in the high side of the refrigerant system
through its connection to a fitting on the discharge line. The A/C pressure transducer will change its
internal resistance in response to the pressures it monitors. A Schrader-type valve in the discharge
line fitting permits the A/C pressure transducer to be removed or installed without disturbing the
refrigerant in the A/C system.
On gasoline engine models, the Front Control Module (FCM) provides a five volt reference signal to
the A/C pressure transducer, then monitors the output voltage of the A/C pressure transducer on a
sensor return circuit to determine refrigerant pressure. The FCM broadcasts a refrigerant pressure
message to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), which is programmed to respond to the A/C
pressure transducer and other sensor inputs by controlling the operation of the A/C compressor
clutch and the radiator cooling fan to help optimize A/C system performance and to protect the
system components from damage. The PCM will disengage the A/C compressor clutch when high
side pressure rises above 3275 kPa (475 psi) and re-engage the clutch when high side pressure
drops below 1999 kPa (290 psi). The A/C pressure transducer will also disengage the A/C
compressor clutch if the high side pressure drops below 193 kPa (28 psi) and will re-engage the
clutch when the high side pressure rises above 234 kPa (34 psi). If the refrigerant pressure rises
above 1655 kPa (240 psi), the PCM will actuate the cooling fan. The A/C pressure transducer
message to the PCM will also prevent the A/C compressor clutch from engaging when ambient
temperatures are below about 4.5° C (40° F) due to the pressure/temperature relationship of the
refrigerant. See Electric A/C Condenser Cooling Fan Switch Point charts for condenser cooling fan
on/off pressures.
On Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) models, the A/C-heater control receives the A/C pressure
transducer signal from the FCM. The A/C-heater control will then do the following based on head
pressure:
- <= 2.0 Bar (29 psi) Disable compressor for low charge
- > 2.5 Bar (36 psi) Enable compressor
- >= 28 Bar (406 psi) Reduce compressor speed to reduce head pressure
- >= 29.5 Bar (427 psi) Shut down compressor due to high head pressure
- < 21 Bar (306 psi) Re-enable compressor if previously shut down
The A/C pressure transducer is diagnosed using a scan tool See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Tests and Associated Procedures.
The A/C pressure transducer cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or
damaged.

Blower Motor Relay: Description and Operation Front Blower Motor Relay - Description
DESCRIPTION
The blower motor relay (1) for the standard front heating-A/C system is a International Standards
Organization (ISO)-type relay. Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical
dimensions, current capacities, terminal function and patterns (2). The front blower motor relay is a
electromechanical device that switches battery current from a fuse in the power distribution center
(PDC) directly to the front blower motor when equipped with the manual temperature control (MTC)
system, or the blower motor power module when equipped with the automatic temperature control
(ATC) system. The front blower motor relay is energized when the relay coil is provided a ground
circuit through the integrated power module. The front blower motor relay is located in the power
distribution center (PDC) in the engine compartment. Refer to the PDC label for front blower motor
relay identification and location.

Blower Motor Relay: Description and Operation Front Blower Motor Relay - Operation
OPERATION
The ISO-standard front blower motor relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current
input from the battery to control the high current output to the front blower motor. The movable,
common feed relay contact is held against the fixed, normally closed relay contact by spring
pressure. When the electromagnetic relay coil is energized, it draws the movable common feed
relay contact away from the fixed, normally closed relay contact and, holds it against the fixed,
normally open relay contact. This action allows high current to flow to the front blower motor.
When the relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns the movable relay contact back
against the fixed, normally closed contact point. The resistor or diode is connected in parallel with
the relay coil, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be
generated as the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The front blower motor relay terminals are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
receptacle in the power distribution center (PDC). The inputs and outputs of the front blower motor
relay include:
- The common feed terminal (30) receives battery current through a fuse in the PDC at all times.
- The coil ground terminal (85) receives a ground circuit through the integrated power module.
- The coil battery terminal (86) receives battery current through a fuse in the PDC at all times.
- The normally open terminal (87) provides battery current output to the front blower motor when
equipped with the manual temperature control (MTC) system, or the blower motor power module
when equipped with the automatic temperature control (ATC) system only when the front 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 front blower motor relay coil is de-energized.
The front blower motor relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or
damaged. See Wiring Information for diagnosis and testing of the blower motor relay and for
complete HVAC wiring diagrams.

Compressor Clutch Relay: Description and Operation A/C Clutch Relay - Operation
OPERATION
The ISO-standard A/C clutch micro-relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current
input controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM) to control the high current output to the
A/C clutch field coil. The movable, common feed relay contact is held against the fixed, normally
closed relay contact by spring pressure. When the electromagnetic relay coil is energized, it draws
the movable common feed relay contact away from the fixed, normally closed relay contact and,
holds it against the fixed, normally open relay contact. This action allows high current to flow to the
A/C clutch field coil.
When the relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns the movable relay contact back
against the fixed, normally closed contact point. The resistor or diode is connected in parallel with
the relay coil, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be
generated as the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The A/C clutch relay terminals are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a receptacle
in the power distribution center (PDC). The inputs and outputs of the A/C clutch relay include:
- The common feed terminal (30) receives fused battery current at all times.
- The coil ground terminal (85) receives a ground input from the PCM through the A/C clutch relay
control circuit only when the PCM electronically pulls the control circuit to ground.
- The coil battery terminal (86) receives fused battery current through a 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 A/C clutch coil through
the A/C 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
a battery current output only when the A/C clutch relay coil is de-energized.
The A/C clutch relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or
damaged. See Wiring Information for diagnosis and testing of the A/C clutch relay and for complete
HVAC wiring diagrams.

Control Module HVAC: Description and Operation Front Blower Motor Power Module - Operation
OPERATION
The blower motor power module is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
lead and connector of the HVAC wire harness. A second connector receptacle receives the wire
harness connector from the blower motor. The blower motor power module allows the
microprocessor-based Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) A/C-heater control 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 that compares the PWM signal voltage to the
blower motor feedback voltage. The resulting output drives the power module circuitry, which
provides a linear output voltage to change or maintain the desired blower speed.
The blower motor power module is diagnosed using a scan tool See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Tests and Associated Procedures.
The blower motor power module cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if
inoperative or damaged.

OPERATION
The ambient air temperature sensor is a variable resistor that operates on a ground circuit and a
5-volt reference signal circuit sent by the front control module (FCM) through a two-wire lead and
connector of the vehicle wire harness. The ambient air temperature sensor changes its internal
resistance in response to changes in the outside air temperature, which either increases or
decreases the reference signal voltage read by the FCM. The FCM converts and broadcasts the
sensor data over the controller area network (CAN) B bus, where it is read by the A/C-heater
control and other various vehicle control modules.
The ambient air temperature sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool See: Powertrain

Temperature Sensor - Description
DESCRIPTION
The evaporator temperature sensor (1) is an electrical thermistor located within a molded plastic
case that is inserted into the HVAC housing (2) to measure the temperature of the conditioned air
downstream of the A/C evaporator (3). Two terminals within the connector receptacle connect the
sensor to the vehicle electrical system through a wire lead and connector of the HVAC wire
harness.
NOTE: Cutaway of typical HVAC housing shown for clarity in illustration.
The external location of the evaporator temperature sensor allows the sensor to be removed or
installed without disturbing the refrigerant in the A/C system.

Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Front Evaporator
Temperature Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The evaporator temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the conditioned air downstream of
the A/C evaporator and supplies an input signal to the A/C-heater control. The A/C-heater control
uses the evaporator temperature sensor input signal to optimize A/C system performance and to
protect the A/C system from evaporator freezing. The evaporator temperature sensor will change
its internal resistance in response to the temperatures it monitors and is connected to the
A/C-heater control through sensor ground circuit and a 5-volt reference signal circuit. As the
temperature of the A/C evaporator decreases, the internal resistance of the evaporator temperature
sensor decreases. On gasoline engine equipped models, the A/C-heater control uses the
monitored voltage reading as an indication of evaporator temperature and that conditions are
correct to broadcast an A/C request message on the Controller Area Network (CAN) B bus, where
it is read by the Front Control Module (FCM). The FCM then requests the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) to cycle the A/C compressor clutch as necessary over the CAN C bus.
On Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) models, the A/C-heater control calculates an evaporator
temperature target based on A/C load. This target temperature is compared with the actual
evaporator temperature sensor value. Based on this comparison, the A/C-heater control sends out
a compressor target RPM speed over the CAN B bus to the FCM. The FCM then ports the target
message to the electric A/C compressor over the CAN C bus. If the A/C-heater control does not
receive the electric A/C compressor messages, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set.
The evaporator temperature sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Tests and Associated Procedures.
The evaporator temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if
inoperative or damaged.

OPERATION
The humidity sensor detects humidity, dew point, windshield temperature and infrared sensor data
and sends this information to the Hybrid Gateway Module (HGM) via a Local Interconnect Network
(LIN) bus connection. The HGM then sends the message via the Controller Area Network (CAN) C
bus to the Front Control Module (FCM), which ports the message to the A/C-heater control over the
CAN B bus. If the humidity sensor message is not received by the A/C-heater control, the
evaporator logic will be disabled, the evaporator target will be set to 3.3° C (38° F) and a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set. The information the A/C-heater control receives from the
humidity sensor can be viewed using a scan tool.
The humidity sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool See: Powertrain Management/Computers and

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Front A/C Pressure Transducer Description
DESCRIPTION
The A/C pressure transducer (1) is a switch that is installed on a fitting located on the A/C
discharge line. An internally threaded fitting on the A/C pressure transducer connects it to the
externally threaded Schrader-type fitting on the A/C discharge line. A rubber O-ring seals the
connection between the A/C pressure transducer and the discharge line fitting. The A/C pressure
transducer is connected to the vehicle electrical system by a molded plastic connector with three
terminals.

Page 7577
Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Front A/C Pressure Transducer Operation
OPERATION
The A/C pressure transducer monitors the pressures in the high side of the refrigerant system
through its connection to a fitting on the discharge line. The A/C pressure transducer will change its
internal resistance in response to the pressures it monitors. A Schrader-type valve in the discharge
line fitting permits the A/C pressure transducer to be removed or installed without disturbing the
refrigerant in the A/C system.
On gasoline engine models, the Front Control Module (FCM) provides a five volt reference signal to
the A/C pressure transducer, then monitors the output voltage of the A/C pressure transducer on a
sensor return circuit to determine refrigerant pressure. The FCM broadcasts a refrigerant pressure
message to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), which is programmed to respond to the A/C
pressure transducer and other sensor inputs by controlling the operation of the A/C compressor
clutch and the radiator cooling fan to help optimize A/C system performance and to protect the
system components from damage. The PCM will disengage the A/C compressor clutch when high
side pressure rises above 3275 kPa (475 psi) and re-engage the clutch when high side pressure
drops below 1999 kPa (290 psi). The A/C pressure transducer will also disengage the A/C
compressor clutch if the high side pressure drops below 193 kPa (28 psi) and will re-engage the
clutch when the high side pressure rises above 234 kPa (34 psi). If the refrigerant pressure rises
above 1655 kPa (240 psi), the PCM will actuate the cooling fan. The A/C pressure transducer
message to the PCM will also prevent the A/C compressor clutch from engaging when ambient
temperatures are below about 4.5° C (40° F) due to the pressure/temperature relationship of the
refrigerant. See Electric A/C Condenser Cooling Fan Switch Point charts for condenser cooling fan
on/off pressures.
On Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) models, the A/C-heater control receives the A/C pressure
transducer signal from the FCM. The A/C-heater control will then do the following based on head
pressure:
- <= 2.0 Bar (29 psi) Disable compressor for low charge
- > 2.5 Bar (36 psi) Enable compressor
- >= 28 Bar (406 psi) Reduce compressor speed to reduce head pressure
- >= 29.5 Bar (427 psi) Shut down compressor due to high head pressure
- < 21 Bar (306 psi) Re-enable compressor if previously shut down
The A/C pressure transducer is diagnosed using a scan tool See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Tests and Associated Procedures.
The A/C pressure transducer cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or
damaged.

infrared sensor is used only on models equipped with the automatic temperature control (ATC)
heater-A/C system. The infrared transducer is contained within a black molded plastic housing (2)
with an integral wire connector receptacle (3). The integral mounting tab (4) allows the infrared
sensor to be secured with one screw to the overhead console.

Solar Sensor: Description and Operation Infrared Temperature Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The infrared sensor detects thermal radiation emitted by the front seat occupants and surroundings
and converts its data into a linear pulse width modulated (PWM) output signal, which is sent to the
compass temperature module (EOM) through a two-wire lead and connector of the headliner wire
harness. The EOM sends a message over the controller area network (CAN) B bus where it is read
by the automatic temperature control (ATC) A/C-heater control. The ATC A/C-heater control uses
the infrared sensor data as one of the inputs necessary to automatically control the interior cabin
temperature level. By using thermal radiation (surface temperature) measurement, rather than an
air temperature measurement, the ATC heating-A/C system is able to adjust itself to the comfort
level as perceived by the occupants. This allows the ATC system to 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 message by calculating and adjusting the air
flow temperature and air flow rate needed to properly obtain and maintain the selected comfort
level temperature of the occupants. The EOM continually monitors the infrared sensor circuits, and
will store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for any problem it detects.
The infrared sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool See: Powertrain Management/Computers and
Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated
Procedures.
The infrared sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or
damaged.

DESCRIPTION
NOTE: Typical sun sensor assembly shown.
The automatic temperature control (ATC) heating-A/C system uses a sun sensor assembly (1) to
measure sun light intensity. The sun sensor assembly incorporates two sun sensors (2) within a
molded plastic case which is mounted to the instrument panel and a clear lens (3) that protrudes
through the defroster grille. The wire harness receptacle (4) connects the sun sensors to the
vehicle electrical system through a wire lead and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.

Solar Sensor: Description and Operation Sun Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The ATC dual-zone heating-A/C system uses two sun sensors to balance the system in response
to side-to-side variations in sun light intensity. Passengers in sun and shadow require different
functional settings because they experience very different temperatures. The sun sensor assembly
provides data to the A/C heater control to help determine proper mode and blend-air door positions
and blower motor speeds. The sun sensors are not thermistor type sensors, but rather photo
diodes. For this reason the sun sensors responds to sun light intensity rather than temperature.
The sun sensor assembly is also used to sense day and night conditions for automatic headlight
control, if equipped.
The sun sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool See: Powertrain Management/Computers and
Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated
Procedures.
The sun sensor assembly cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or
damaged.

WARNING: Disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, or
instrument panel component diagnosis or
service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the
airbag system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the
only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in an
accidental airbag deployment and possible severe or fatal injury.
The sun sensor assembly is located so that the sun rays will hit the sensors in the same way that it
will hit the driver and the passenger. It is important that the area in front of the sun sensor
assembly be unobstructed. Check for the following:
- Windshield wipers are properly adjusted.
- Defroster grille and sun sensor is properly installed. The sun sensor lens should protrude above
the defroster grille.
- Any stickers on the windshield are not directly in front of the sun sensor.
- Any items laying on top of the instrument panel are not covering the sun sensor.
If the vehicle exhibits a lack of passenger comfort in sunny weather such as in the early afternoon,
inspect the position of the sun sensor assembly. The sun sensor lens should protrude above the
defroster grille to insure proper operation. If the sun sensor is not properly positioned, perform the
following procedure:
1. Confirm that the defroster grille is properly installed. If not, repair as required. 2. Remove the
defroster grille and verify that the sun sensor is properly installed to the defroster grill See: Service
and Repair/Sun Sensor Installation.
3. Reinstall the defroster grille.
The A/C-heater control continually monitors the sun sensor circuits and will store diagnostic trouble
codes (DTCs) for any problem it detects. The sun sensor can be tested in the vehicle with a scan
tool See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and
Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures.

Repairs and Inspections Required After a Collision: Service and Repair
SERVICE AFTER A SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT DEPLOYMENT
Any vehicle which is to be returned to use following a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
component deployment must have the deployed restraints replaced. In addition, if the driver airbag
has been deployed, the clockspring must be replaced and the steering column must be inspected.
See: Steering and Suspension/Steering/Steering Column/Testing and Inspection. If the passenger
airbag is deployed, the passenger airbag door must be replaced.
The seat belt tensioners are deployed by the same signal that deploys the driver and passenger
airbags and must also be replaced if either front airbag has been deployed. If a side curtain airbag
has been deployed, the headliner as well as the upper A, B, C and D-pillar trim on the same side of
the vehicle as the deployed airbag must be replaced. These components are not intended for reuse
and will be damaged or weakened as a result of a SRS component deployment, which may or may
not be obvious during a visual inspection. On vehicles with an optional sunroof, the sunroof drain
tubes and hoses must be closely inspected following a side curtain airbag deployment.
It is also critical that the mounting surfaces and mounting brackets for the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC), side impact sensors and front impact sensors be closely inspected and restored
to their original conditions following any vehicle impact damage. Because the ORC and each
impact sensor are used by the SRS to monitor or confirm the direction and severity of a vehicle
impact, improper orientation or insecure fastening of these components may cause airbags not to
deploy when required, or to deploy when not required.
There are two methods by which an airbag or seat belt tensioner may be connected to the vehicle
electrical system. The first method involves a short pigtail harness and connector insulator that are
integral to the airbag or tensioner unit and are replaced as a unit with the service replacement
airbag or seat belt tensioner unit. The second method involves a wire harness takeout and
connector insulator (squib circuits) that are connected directly to the air bag or tensioner initiator.
The heat created by the initiator during an airbag or tensioner deployment will cause collateral
damage to a directly connected wire harness take out and connector insulator. Therefore, these
direct-connect type take outs and connector insulators must be repaired following an airbag or seat
belt tensioner deployment. See: Service and Repair.
All other vehicle components should be closely inspected following any SRS component
deployment, but are to be replaced only as required by the extent of the visible damage incurred.
AIRBAG SQUIB STATUS
Multistage airbags with multiple initiators (squibs) must be checked to determine that all squibs
were used during the deployment event. The driver and passenger airbags in this vehicle are
deployed by electrical signals generated by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) through the
driver or passenger squib 1 and squib 2 circuits to the two initiators in the airbag inflators. Typically,
both initiators are used and all potentially hazardous chemicals are burned during an airbag
deployment event. However, it is possible for only one initiator to be used; therefore, it is always
necessary to confirm that both initiators have been used in order to avoid the improper handling or
disposal of potentially live pyrotechnic or hazardous materials. The following procedure should be
performed using a diagnostic scan tool to verify the status of both airbag squibs before either
deployed airbag is removed from the vehicle for disposal.
CAUTION: Deployed front airbags having two initiators (squibs) in the airbag inflator may or may
not have live pyrotechnic material within
the inflator. Do not dispose of these airbags unless you are certain of complete deployment. Refer
to the Hazardous Substance Control System for information regarding the potentially hazardous
properties of the subject component and the proper safe handling procedures. Then dispose of all
non-deployed and deployed airbags and seat belt tensioners in a manner consistent with state,
provincial, local and federal regulations.
1. Be certain that the diagnostic scan tool contains the latest version of the proper diagnostic
software. Connect the scan tool to the 16-way Data Link
Connector (DLC). The DLC is located on the driver side lower edge of the instrument panel,
outboard of the steering column.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. 3. Using the scan tool, read and record the active
(current) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) data.
Using the active DTC information, refer to the Airbag Squib Status table to determine the status of
both driver and passenger airbag squibs.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Repairs and Inspections Required After a Collision > System Information
> Service and Repair > Page 7629
NOTE: If none of the Driver or Passenger Squib 1 or 2 open are active codes, the status of the
airbag squibs is unknown. In this case the
airbag should be handled and disposed of as if the squibs were both live.
CLEANUP PROCEDURE
Following a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) component deployment, the vehicle interior will
contain a powdery residue. This residue consists primarily of harmless particulate by-products of
the small pyrotechnic charge that initiates the propellant used to deploy a SRS component.
However, this residue may also contain traces of sodium hydroxide powder, a chemical by-product
of the propellant material that is used to generate the inert gas that inflates the airbag. Since
sodium hydroxide powder can irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or throat, be certain to wear safety
glasses, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt during cleanup.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, if you experience skin irritation during cleanup, run cool
water over the affected area. Also, if you
experience irritation of the nose or throat, exit the vehicle for fresh air until the irritation ceases. If
irritation continues, see a physician.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Repairs and Inspections Required After a Collision > System Information
> Service and Repair > Page 7630
1. Begin the cleanup by using a vacuum cleaner to remove any residual powder from the vehicle
interior. Clean from outside the vehicle and work
your way inside, so that you avoid kneeling or sitting on a non-cleaned area.
2. Be certain to vacuum the heater and air conditioning outlets as well. Run the heater and air
conditioner blower on the lowest speed setting and
vacuum any powder expelled from the outlets.
CAUTION: Deployed front airbags having two initiators (squibs) in the airbag inflator may or may
not have live pyrotechnic material within
the inflator. Do not dispose of these airbags unless you are certain of complete deployment. Refer
to AIRBAG SQUIB STATUS. All damaged, ineffective, or non-deployed Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) components which are replaced on vehicles are to be handled and disposed of
properly. If an airbag or seat belt tensioner unit is ineffective or damaged and non-deployed, refer
to the Hazardous Substance Control System for information regarding the potentially hazardous
properties of the subject component and the proper safe handling procedures. Then dispose of all
non-deployed and deployed airbags and seat belt tensioners in a manner consistent with state,
provincial, local and federal regulations.
3. Next, remove the deployed SRS components from the vehicle. Refer to the appropriate service
removal procedures. 4. You may need to vacuum the interior of the vehicle a second time to
recover all of the powder.

DESCRIPTION
Optional side curtain airbags are available for this vehicle when it is also equipped with dual front
airbags. These airbags are passive, inflatable, Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components,
and vehicles with this equipment can be readily identified by a molded identification trim button with
the SRS - AIRBAG logo located near the top of each upper B-pillar trim panel. This system is
designed to reduce injuries to the vehicle occupants in the event of a side impact collision or a
vehicle rollover incident.
Vehicles equipped with side curtain airbags have two individually controlled curtain airbag units.
These airbag units are concealed and mounted above the headliner where they are each secured
to one of the roof side rails. Each folded airbag cushion is contained within a fabric wrap (5) that
extends along the roof rail from the A-pillar at the front of the vehicle to the D-pillar at the rear of the
vehicle. The airbag unit is initially secured during installation with metal clips and plastic push-in
fasteners to the roof rail.
A long tether (3) extends down the A-pillar from the front of the airbag cushion, where it is retained
to the pillar with plastic push-in routing clips and it is secured to the base of the A-pillar near the
belt line with a screw and a rivet nut. A short tether (6) at the rear of the cushion is secured by a
screw to a U-nut located near the top of the D-pillar.
The hybrid-type inflator (1) for each airbag is secured to the roof rail at the front of the airbag unit
between the A-pillar and the B-pillar, and is connected to the airbag cushion by a long tubular
manifold (2). The entire assembly is secured to U-nuts spaced along the inside of the roof rail with
screws; however, the mounting provisions between the right and left curtain airbag units is
asymmetrical by design.
A two-wire pigtail harness (4) is routed from the rear of the airbag inflator and down the B-pillar,
where it is retained by routing clips. The pigtail harness is connected to a take out and connector of
the body wire harness on the B-pillar, which connects the airbag unit to the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC).
The side curtain airbag unit cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if deployed,
ineffective, or in any way damaged. Once a side curtain

Air Bag: Description and Operation Side Curtain Air Bag - Operation
OPERATION
Each side curtain airbag is deployed individually by an electrical signal generated by the Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) to which it is connected through left or right curtain airbag line 1 and line
2 (or squib) circuits. The hybrid-type inflator assembly for each airbag contains a small canister of
highly compressed inert gas. When the ORC sends the proper electrical signal to the airbag
inflator, the electrical energy creates enough heat to ignite chemical pellets within the inflator.
Once ignited, these chemicals burn rapidly and produce the pressure necessary to rupture a
containment disk in the inert gas canister. The inflator and inert gas canister are sealed and
connected to a tubular manifold so that all of the released gas is directed into the folded curtain
airbag cushion, causing the cushion to inflate. As the airbag cushion inflates it will drop down from
the roof rail between the edge of the headliner and the side glass/body pillars to form a curtain-like
cushion to protect the vehicle occupants during a side impact collision or a vehicle rollover incident.
The front and rear tethers keep the side airbag cushion taut to the side of the vehicle, thus ensuring
that the bag will deploy in the proper position. Following the airbag deployment, the airbag cushion
slowly deflates by venting the inert gas through the loose weave of the cushion fabric, and the
deflated cushion hangs down loosely from the roof rail.
Proper diagnosis of the side curtain airbag inflator and squib circuits requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Air Bag: Description and Operation Driver Air Bag - Description
DESCRIPTION
The color-keyed, injection molded, thermoplastic driver airbag protective trim cover (2) is the most
visible part of the driver airbag. The driver airbag is located in the center of the steering wheel (1),
where it is secured with two screws to the armature of the four-spoke steering wheel. All vehicles
have either a chrome Dodge Ram or Chrysler emblem in the center of the trim cover. Concealed
beneath the driver airbag trim cover are the horn switch, the folded airbag cushion, the airbag
cushion retainer, the airbag housing, the airbag inflator, and the retainers that secure the inflator to
the airbag housing.
The airbag cushion, housing (5), and inflator (3) are secured within an integral receptacle molded
into the back of the trim cover (4). The four vertical walls of this receptacle have a total of 12 small
windows with blocking tabs that are engaged by 12 hook formations around the perimeter of the
airbag housing. Each hook is inserted through one of the windows and the blocking tab in each
window keeps the hook properly engaged with the trim cover, locking the trim cover securely into
place on the airbag housing.
The resistive membrane-type horn switch is secured with heat stakes to the inside surface of the
driver airbag trim cover, between the trim cover and the folded airbag cushion. The horn switch
ground pigtail wire (2) has an eyelet terminal connector that is captured beneath a flanged nut on
the upper right inflator mounting stud on the back of the housing. The horn switch feed pigtail wire
has a black, molded plastic insulator (1) that is secured by an integral retainer in a locator hole near
the upper right corner of the airbag housing and is connected to the vehicle electrical system
through a dedicated take out and connector of the steering wheel wire harness. Both horn switch
wires are routed through an integral notch in the center of the upper edge of the airbag housing
stamping.
The airbag used in this vehicle is a multistage, Next Generation-type that complies with revised
federal airbag standards to deploy with less force than those used in some prior vehicles. A 71
centimeter (28 inch) diameter, radial deploying fabric cushion with internal tethers is used. The
airbag inflator is a dual-initiator, non-azide, pyrotechnic-type unit with four mounting studs and is
secured to the stamped metal airbag housing by four flanged hex nuts. Two keyed and color-coded
connector receptacles on the driver airbag inflator connect the two inflator initiators to the vehicle
electrical system through two yellow-jacketed, two-wire pigtail harnesses of the clockspring.

Air Bag: Description and Operation Driver Air Bag - Operation
OPERATION
The multistage driver airbag is deployed by electrical signals generated by the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) through the driver airbag squib 1 and squib 2 circuits to the two initiators in the
airbag inflator. By using two initiators, the airbag can be deployed at multiple levels of force. The
force level is controlled by the ORC to suit the monitored impact conditions by providing one of
three delay intervals between the electrical signals provided to the two initiators. The longer the
delay between these signals, the less forcefully the airbag will deploy.
When the ORC sends the proper electrical signals to each initiator, the electrical energy generates
enough heat to initiate a small pyrotechnic charge which, in turn ignites chemical pellets within the
inflator. Once ignited, these chemical pellets burn rapidly and produce a large quantity of inert gas.
The inflator is sealed to the back of the airbag housing and a diffuser in the inflator directs all of the
inert gas into the airbag cushion, causing the cushion to inflate. As the cushion inflates, the driver
airbag trim cover will split at predetermined breakout lines, then fold back out of the way along with
the horn switch unit. Following an airbag deployment, the airbag cushion quickly deflates by
venting the inert gas towards the instrument panel through vent holes within the fabric used to
construct the back (steering wheel side) panel of the airbag cushion.
Some of the chemicals used to create the inert gas may be considered hazardous while in their
solid state before they are burned, but they are securely sealed within the airbag inflator. Typically,
both initiators are used and all potentially hazardous chemicals are burned during an airbag
deployment event. However, it is possible for only one initiator to be used during a deployment due
to an airbag system fault; therefore, it is necessary to always confirm that both initiators have been
used in order to avoid the improper disposal of potentially live pyrotechnic or hazardous materials.
See: Service and Repair.
The inert gas that is produced when the chemicals are burned is harmless. However, a small
amount of residue from the burned chemicals may cause some temporary discomfort if it contacts
the skin, eyes, or breathing passages. If skin or eye irritation is noted, rinse the affected area with
plenty of cool, clean water. If breathing passages are irritated, move to another area where there is
plenty of clean, fresh air to breath. If the irritation is not alleviated by these actions, contact a
physician.
Proper diagnosis of the driver airbag inflator and squib circuits requires the use of a diagnostic
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation Occupant Restraint Controller - Description
DESCRIPTION
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) (1) is secured with three screws to a stamped steel
mounting bracket welded onto the top of the floor panel transmission tunnel just behind the front
seat crossmember and beneath the center floor console in the passenger compartment of the
vehicle. Concealed within a hollow in the center of the die cast aluminum ORC housing is the
electronic circuitry of the ORC which includes a microprocessor, an electronic impact sensor, an
electronic safing sensor, and an energy storage capacitor. A stamped metal cover plate is secured
to the bottom of the ORC housing with four screws to enclose and protect the internal electronic
circuitry and components.
An arrow (3) printed on the label (2) on the top of the ORC housing provides a visual verification of
the proper orientation of the unit, and should always be pointed toward the front of the vehicle. The
ORC housing has integral mounting flanges on three corners. The mounting flange to the right of
the connector receptacle has an integral locating pin on its lower surface. Both right side flanges
have round mounting holes, while the flange on the left side has a slotted mounting hole. A molded
plastic electrical connector (4) with 2 receptacles, one containing 24 terminal pins and the other
containing 32 terminal pins, exits the forward facing side of the ORC housing. These terminal pins
connect the ORC to the vehicle electrical system through two dedicated take outs and connectors
of the body wire harness.
The impact sensor and safing sensor internal to the ORC are calibrated for the specific vehicle, and
are only serviced as a unit with the ORC. In addition, there are unique versions of the ORC for
vehicles with or without the optional side curtain airbags. The ORC cannot be repaired or adjusted
and, if damaged or ineffective, it must be replaced.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation Occupant Restraint Controller - Operation
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) contains the Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) logic circuits and controls all of the SRS components. The ORC uses
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can communicate with other electronic modules in the vehicle as
well as with the diagnostic scan tool using the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. This
method of communication is used for control of the airbag indicator in the Electro mechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) and for SRS
diagnosis and testing through the 16-way data link connector located on the driver side lower edge
of the instrument panel. See: Malfunction Lamp / Indicator/Description and Operation/Air Bag
Indicator - Operation.
The ORC microprocessor continuously monitors all of the SRS electrical circuits to determine the
system readiness. If the ORC detects a monitored system fault, it sets an active and stored
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and sends electronic messages to the EMIC over the CAN data
bus to turn ON the airbag indicator. An active fault only remains for the duration of the fault, or in
some cases for the duration of the current ignition switch cycle, while a stored fault causes a DTC
to be stored in memory by the ORC. For some DTCs, if a fault does not recur for a number of
ignition cycles, the ORC will automatically erase the stored DTC. For other internal faults, the
stored DTC is latched forever.
The ORC receives battery current through two circuits; a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB), and a fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit
through a second fuse in the JB. The ORC receives ground through a ground circuit and take out of
the instrument panel wire harness. This take out has a single eyelet terminal connector that is
secured by a ground screw near the center of the instrument panel structural support. These
connections allow the ORC to be operational whenever the ignition switch is in the START or ON
positions.
The ORC also contains an energy-storage capacitor. When the ignition switch is in the START or
ON positions, this capacitor is continually being charged with enough electrical energy to deploy
the SRS components for up to one second following a battery disconnect or failure. The purpose of
the capacitor is to provide backup SRS protection in case there is a loss of battery current supply to
the ORC during an impact.
Two sensors are contained within the ORC, an electronic impact sensor and a safing sensor. The
ORC also monitors inputs from two remote front impact sensors located on the back of the right
and left vertical members of the radiator support near the front of the vehicle. The electronic impact
sensors are accelerometers that sense the rate of vehicle deceleration, which provides verification
of the direction and severity of an impact. The ORC also monitors inputs from an internal rollover
sensor and six additional remote impact sensors located on the left and right inner B-pillars and
quarter inner panels to control deployment of the side curtain airbag units.
The safing sensor is an electronic accelerometer sensor within the ORC that provides an additional
logic input to the ORC microprocessor. The safing sensor is used to verify the need for a SRS
component deployment by detecting impact energy of a lesser magnitude than that of the primary
electronic impact sensors, and must exceed a safing threshold in order for the airbags to deploy. A
second safing sensor within the ORC provides confirmation to the ORC microprocessor of side
impact forces. This second safing sensor is a bi-directional unit that detects impact forces from
either side of the vehicle.
Pre-programmed decision algorithms in the ORC microprocessor determine when the deceleration
rate as signaled by the impact sensors and the safing sensors indicate an impact that is severe
enough to require SRS protection and, based upon the severity of the monitored impact,
determines the level of front airbag deployment force required for each front seating position. When
the programmed conditions are met, the ORC sends the proper electrical signals to deploy the dual
multistage front airbags at the programmed force levels, the front seat belt tensioners and either
side curtain airbag unit.
The hard wired inputs and outputs for the ORC may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic
tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. However, conventional
diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the ORC or the electronic controls

Clockspring Assembly / Spiral Cable: Description and Operation Clockspring - Description
DESCRIPTION
The clockspring assembly is located near the top of the steering column behind the steering wheel.
Two mounting tabs (6) with round holes integral to the sides of the case are secured by two screws
onto the multi-function switch mounting housing. The clockspring for this vehicle also includes an
integral, internal Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) for the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) that is
serviced as a unit with the clockspring.
The clockspring consists of a flat, round molded plastic case (4) with a stubby tail that hangs below
the steering column. Within the plastic case is a spool-like molded plastic rotor with a large
exposed hub. The upper surface of the rotor hub has a large center hole, an engagement dowel
(5), two short pigtail wires with connectors (1), and two connector receptacles (3) that face toward
the steering wheel.
Service replacement clocksprings are shipped pre-centered and with a molded plastic locking pin
(2) that snaps into a receptacle on the rotor and is engaged with tabs on the upper surface of the
clockspring case. The locking pin secures the centered clockspring rotor to the clockspring case
during shipment and handling, but must be removed from the clockspring after it is installed on the
steering column. See: Service and Repair/Procedures.
The lower surface of the case (1) facing toward the instrument panel includes a locating tab (2) that
is engaged by a locating pin on the multi-function switch mounting housing, two integral connector
receptacles (5) and an additional applied connector (4) with a short pigtail wire on the lower end,
outboard of the two integral connector receptacles. The lower surface of the rotor hub also has a
molded plastic turn signal cancel cam with two lobes (3) that is integral to the rotor.
Within the plastic case and wound around the rotor spool is a long ribbon-like tape that consists of
several thin copper wire leads sandwiched between two thin plastic membranes. The outer end of
the tape terminates at the connector receptacles that face the instrument panel, while the inner end
of the tape terminates at the pigtail wires and connector receptacles on the hub of the clockspring
rotor that face the steering wheel.
The clockspring cannot be repaired. If damaged, ineffective or if the driver airbag has been
deployed, the clockspring must be replaced.

Clockspring Assembly / Spiral Cable: Description and Operation Clockspring - Operation
OPERATION
The clockspring is a mechanical electrical circuit component that is used to provide continuous
electrical continuity between the fixed instrument panel wire harness and the electrical components
mounted on or in the rotating steering wheel. On this vehicle the rotating electrical components
include the driver airbag, the horn switch, the speed control switches, and the remote radio
switches, if the vehicle is so equipped. The clockspring case is positioned and secured to the
multi-function switch mounting housing near the top of the steering column. The connector
receptacles on the tail of the fixed clockspring case connect the clockspring to the vehicle electrical
system through two take outs with connectors from the instrument panel wire harness.
The clockspring rotor is movable and is keyed by an engagement dowel that is molded onto the
rotor hub between two fins that are cast into the lower surface of the steering wheel armature. A
yellow rubber boot is installed over the engagement dowel to eliminate contact noise between the
dowel and the steering wheel. The two lobes on the turn signal cancel cam on the lower surface of
the clockspring rotor hub contact a turn signal cancel actuator of the multi-function switch to
provide automatic turn signal cancellation.
Two short, yellow-sleeved pigtail wires on the upper surface of the clockspring rotor connect the
clockspring to the multistage driver airbag, while a steering wheel wire harness connects the two
connector receptacles on the upper surface of the clockspring rotor to the horn switch feed pigtail
wire connector and, if the vehicle is so equipped, to the optional speed control and remote radio
switches on the steering wheel.
Like the clockspring in a timepiece, the clockspring tape has travel limits and can be damaged by
being wound too tightly during full stop-to-stop steering wheel rotation. To prevent this from
occurring, the clockspring is centered when it is installed on the steering column. Centering the
clockspring indexes the clockspring tape to the movable steering components so that the tape can
operate within its designed travel limits. However, if the clockspring is removed from the steering
column or if the steering shaft is disconnected from the steering gear, the clockspring spool can
change position relative to the movable steering components. The clockspring must be re-centered
following completion of this service or the tape may be damaged.
Service replacement clocksprings are shipped pre-centered and with a plastic locking pin installed.
This locking pin should not be removed until the clockspring has been installed on the steering
column. If the locking pin is removed before the clockspring is installed on a steering column, the
clockspring centering procedure must be performed. See: Service and Repair/Procedures.
The clockspring as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the clockspring may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, on vehicles equipped with Electronic Stability Program (ESP) conventional diagnostic
methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) within the
clockspring or the electronic controls or communication between other modules and devices that
provide features of the ESP. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the SAS
or the electronic controls and communication related to ESP operation requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Two front impact sensors (1) are used on this vehicle, one each for the left and right sides of the
vehicle. These sensors are mounted remotely from the impact sensor that is internal to the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). Each front sensor is secured with a screw to the backs of the
right and left vertical members of the radiator support within the engine compartment. The sensor
housing has an integral connector receptacle (4), an integral anti-rotation pin (3), and an integral
mounting hole (2) with a metal sleeve to provide crush protection.
The right and left front impact sensors are identical in construction and calibration. A cavity in the
center of the molded black plastic impact sensor housing contains the electronic circuitry of the
sensor which includes an electronic communication chip and an electronic impact sensor. Potting
material fills the cavity to seal and protect the internal electronic circuitry and components. The
front impact sensors are each connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take
out and connector of the headlamp and dash wire harness.
The impact sensors cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if damaged or ineffective, they must be
replaced.

FRONT
The front impact sensors are electronic accelerometers that sense the rate of vehicle deceleration,
which provides verification of the direction and severity of an impact. Each sensor also contains an
electronic communication chip that allows the unit to communicate the sensor status as well as
sensor fault information to the microprocessor in the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC).
The ORC microprocessor continuously monitors all of the passive restraint system electrical
circuits to determine the system readiness. If the ORC detects a monitored system fault, it sets a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and controls the airbag indicator operation accordingly. The impact
sensors each receive battery current and ground through dedicated left and right sensor plus and
minus circuits from the ORC. The impact sensors and the ORC communicate by modulating the
voltage in the sensor plus circuit.
The hard wired circuits between the front impact sensors and the ORC may be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the impact
sensors or the electronic controls or communication between other modules and devices that
provide features of the supplemental restraint system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the impact sensors or the electronic controls and communication related to
front impact sensor operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

Seat Position Sensor: Description and Operation Seat Track Position Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The seat track position sensor is designed to provide a seat position data input to the Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) indicating whether the driver side front seat is in a full forward or a not
full forward position. The ORC uses this data as an additional logic input for use in determining the
appropriate deployment force to be used when deploying the multistage driver side front airbag.
The seat track position sensor receives a nominal five volt supply from the ORC. The sensor
communicates the seat position by modulating the voltage returned to the ORC on a sensor data
circuit. The ORC also monitors the condition of the sensor circuits and will store a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that is detected. The ORC then sends messages over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to control the illumination of the airbag indicator in the
Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN).
The hard wired circuits between the seat track position sensor and the ORC may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the seat
track position sensor or the electronic controls and communication between other modules and
devices that provide features of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). The most reliable,
efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the seat track position sensor or the electronic controls
and communication related to seat track position sensor operation requires the use of a diagnostic
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Malfunction Lamp / Indicator: Description and Operation Air Bag Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
An airbag indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, the instrument
cluster can be programmed to disable this indicator on vehicles that are not equipped with the
airbag system, which is not available in some markets. This indicator is located in the center of the
speedometer, in the area above and left of the speedometer needle hub.
The airbag indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol
icon for Airbag in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the
overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red Light
Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to
appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind
by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The airbag indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Malfunction Lamp / Indicator: Description and Operation Air Bag Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The airbag indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the airbag system, or a circuit
or component of the system is ineffective. The airbag indicator is controlled by a transistor on the
instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received
by the cluster from the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) over the Controller Area Network
(CAN) data bus.
The airbag indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED is
always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the airbag indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the on position the airbag indicator illuminates
for about six to eight seconds. The entire bulb test is a function of the ORC.
- Airbag Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic airbag indicator
lamp-on message from the ORC, the airbag indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated
for about twelve seconds or until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the ORC, whichever
is longer. This indicator will also be extinguished when the ignition switch is turned to the off
position.
Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-on or lamp-off messages from the ORC for
10 consecutive message cycles, the airbag indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated
until the cluster receives a single lamp-off message from the ORC.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the airbag indicator turns on, then off
again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the
cluster control circuitry. The actuator test illumination of the airbag indicator is a function of the
instrument cluster.
The ORC continually monitors the airbag system circuits and sensors to decide whether the system
is in good operating condition. The ORC then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the
instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). If the ORC sends a lamp-on
message after the bulb test, it indicates that the ORC has detected a system malfunction or that the
airbags and seatbelt tensioners may not deploy when required, or may deploy when not required.
The ORC stores a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any malfunction it detects. Each time the
airbag indicator fails to illuminate due to an open or short in the cluster airbag indicator circuit, the
cluster sends a message notifying the ORC of the condition, the instrument cluster and the ORC
each store a DTC, and the cluster flashes the seatbelt indicator on and off as a backup to notify the
vehicle operator.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the airbag system, the ORC, the CCN, the CAN
data bus or the electronic communication related to airbag indicator operation. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

DESCRIPTION
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) (1) is secured with three screws to a stamped steel
mounting bracket welded onto the top of the floor panel transmission tunnel just behind the front
seat crossmember and beneath the center floor console in the passenger compartment of the
vehicle. Concealed within a hollow in the center of the die cast aluminum ORC housing is the
electronic circuitry of the ORC which includes a microprocessor, an electronic impact sensor, an
electronic safing sensor, and an energy storage capacitor. A stamped metal cover plate is secured
to the bottom of the ORC housing with four screws to enclose and protect the internal electronic
circuitry and components.
An arrow (3) printed on the label (2) on the top of the ORC housing provides a visual verification of
the proper orientation of the unit, and should always be pointed toward the front of the vehicle. The
ORC housing has integral mounting flanges on three corners. The mounting flange to the right of
the connector receptacle has an integral locating pin on its lower surface. Both right side flanges
have round mounting holes, while the flange on the left side has a slotted mounting hole. A molded
plastic electrical connector (4) with 2 receptacles, one containing 24 terminal pins and the other
containing 32 terminal pins, exits the forward facing side of the ORC housing. These terminal pins
connect the ORC to the vehicle electrical system through two dedicated take outs and connectors
of the body wire harness.
The impact sensor and safing sensor internal to the ORC are calibrated for the specific vehicle, and
are only serviced as a unit with the ORC. In addition, there are unique versions of the ORC for
vehicles with or without the optional side curtain airbags. The ORC cannot be repaired or adjusted
and, if damaged or ineffective, it must be replaced.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation Occupant Restraint Controller - Operation
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) contains the Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) logic circuits and controls all of the SRS components. The ORC uses
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can communicate with other electronic modules in the vehicle as
well as with the diagnostic scan tool using the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. This
method of communication is used for control of the airbag indicator in the Electro mechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) and for SRS
diagnosis and testing through the 16-way data link connector located on the driver side lower edge
of the instrument panel. See: Air Bag Systems/Malfunction Lamp / Indicator/Description and
Operation/Air Bag Indicator - Operation.
The ORC microprocessor continuously monitors all of the SRS electrical circuits to determine the
system readiness. If the ORC detects a monitored system fault, it sets an active and stored
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and sends electronic messages to the EMIC over the CAN data
bus to turn ON the airbag indicator. An active fault only remains for the duration of the fault, or in
some cases for the duration of the current ignition switch cycle, while a stored fault causes a DTC
to be stored in memory by the ORC. For some DTCs, if a fault does not recur for a number of
ignition cycles, the ORC will automatically erase the stored DTC. For other internal faults, the
stored DTC is latched forever.
The ORC receives battery current through two circuits; a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB), and a fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit
through a second fuse in the JB. The ORC receives ground through a ground circuit and take out of
the instrument panel wire harness. This take out has a single eyelet terminal connector that is
secured by a ground screw near the center of the instrument panel structural support. These
connections allow the ORC to be operational whenever the ignition switch is in the START or ON
positions.
The ORC also contains an energy-storage capacitor. When the ignition switch is in the START or
ON positions, this capacitor is continually being charged with enough electrical energy to deploy
the SRS components for up to one second following a battery disconnect or failure. The purpose of
the capacitor is to provide backup SRS protection in case there is a loss of battery current supply to
the ORC during an impact.
Two sensors are contained within the ORC, an electronic impact sensor and a safing sensor. The
ORC also monitors inputs from two remote front impact sensors located on the back of the right
and left vertical members of the radiator support near the front of the vehicle. The electronic impact
sensors are accelerometers that sense the rate of vehicle deceleration, which provides verification
of the direction and severity of an impact. The ORC also monitors inputs from an internal rollover
sensor and six additional remote impact sensors located on the left and right inner B-pillars and
quarter inner panels to control deployment of the side curtain airbag units.
The safing sensor is an electronic accelerometer sensor within the ORC that provides an additional
logic input to the ORC microprocessor. The safing sensor is used to verify the need for a SRS
component deployment by detecting impact energy of a lesser magnitude than that of the primary
electronic impact sensors, and must exceed a safing threshold in order for the airbags to deploy. A
second safing sensor within the ORC provides confirmation to the ORC microprocessor of side
impact forces. This second safing sensor is a bi-directional unit that detects impact forces from
either side of the vehicle.
Pre-programmed decision algorithms in the ORC microprocessor determine when the deceleration
rate as signaled by the impact sensors and the safing sensors indicate an impact that is severe
enough to require SRS protection and, based upon the severity of the monitored impact,
determines the level of front airbag deployment force required for each front seating position. When
the programmed conditions are met, the ORC sends the proper electrical signals to deploy the dual
multistage front airbags at the programmed force levels, the front seat belt tensioners and either
side curtain airbag unit.
The hard wired inputs and outputs for the ORC may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic
tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. However, conventional
diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the ORC or the electronic controls
or communication between other modules and devices that provide features of the SRS. The most
reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the ORC or the electronic controls and
communication related to ORC operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Child Seat Tether Attachment: Description and Operation Child Seat Anchor - Operation
OPERATION
All vehicles manufactured for sale in the United States and Canada are required to be equipped
with a Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren, or LATCH child restraint anchorage system. The
second row seats in this vehicle have two pairs of anchor provisions for installing a
LATCH-compatible child seat. A single seat may be mounted in the second row center seating
position of vehicles so equipped, or one in each outboard seating position.
With LATCH, child seats are secured by direct attachment to the vehicle seat structure, rather than
by the seat belts. With LATCH-compatible child seats, lower anchors attach to the seat structure
through heavy-gauge wire loops located at the intersection between the seat cushion and the seat
back surfaces.
Upper tether anchors are integral to the second row seat cushion frames and the third row split
bench seat back panel to secure the top tether strap of child seats equipped with this feature.
These upper tether anchors work with both LATCH-compatible and other child seats equipped with
a top tether strap.
The owner's information packet in the vehicle glove box contains details and suggestions on the
proper use of all of the factory-installed child restraint anchors.

Seat Belt Buckle Switch: Description and Operation Driver Seat Belt Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The seat belt switch (4) is a small, normally open, single pole, single throw, plunger (3) actuated,
momentary switch. One seat belt switch is installed on the seat belt retractor frame (2) over the
retractor spool (1) for the driver side front seat. The seat belt switch includes an integral connector
that is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a take out and connector of the body wire
harness.
The seat belt switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the entire front
seat belt and retractor unit must be replaced.

Description and Operation > Driver Seat Belt Switch - Description > Page 7790
Seat Belt Buckle Switch: Description and Operation Driver Seat Belt Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The seat belt switch is designed to control a path to ground for the seat belt switch sense input of
the Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN). The seat belt switch plunger is actuated by the seat belt webbing wound onto the seat
belt retractor spool. When the seat belt tip-half webbing is pulled out of the retractor far enough to
engage the seat belt buckle-half, the switch plunger is extended and closes the seat belt switch
sense circuit to ground. Conversely, when the seat belt tip-half webbing is wound onto the retractor
spool the switch plunger is depressed, opening the ground path.
The EMIC monitors the seat belt switch status, then controls the illumination of the seatbelt
indicator and the generation of audible electronic chime tones based upon that input. The seat belt
switch receives ground through its connection to the body wire harness from another take out of
the body wire harness. An eyelet terminal connector on that ground take out is secured under a
ground screw. The seat belt switch is connected in series between ground and the seat belt switch
sense input of the EMIC.
The seat belt switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

Seat Belt Reminder Lamp: Description and Operation Seat Belt Warning Lamp - Description
DESCRIPTION
A seatbelt indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located near
the upper edge of the instrument cluster, between the minor gauge set and the speedometer.
The seatbelt indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display
Symbol icon for Seat Belt in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer
layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red
Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the
indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated
from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The seatbelt indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Seat Belt Reminder Lamp: Description and Operation Seat Belt Warning Lamp - Operation
OPERATION
The seatbelt indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the status of the driver side front
seatbelt. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based
upon cluster programming and a hardwired input from the seatbelt switch in the driver side front
seatbelt retractor through the seat belt indicator driver circuit.
The seatbelt indicator also includes a programmable enhanced seatbelt reminder or beltminder
feature that is enabled when the vehicle is shipped from the factory. This beltminder feature can be
disabled and enabled by the customer using a specific programming event sequence, or by the
dealer using a diagnostic scan tool.
The seatbelt indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED will
always be off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the seatbelt indicator for the following reasons:
Seatbelt Reminder Function - Each time the cluster receives a battery current input on the fused
ignition switch output (run-start) circuit, the indicator illuminates as a seatbelt reminder for about six
seconds, or until the ignition switch turns to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. This reminder
function occurs regardless of the status of the seatbelt switch input to the cluster.
- Driver Side Front Seatbelt Not Buckled - Beltminder Active - Following the seatbelt reminder
function, each time the cluster detects an open circuit on the seat belt indicator driver circuit
(seatbelt switch open = seatbelt unbuckled) with the ignition switch in the START or ON positions,
the indicator illuminates. In addition, if the driver side front seatbelt remains unbuckled about 60
seconds after the conclusion of the seatbelt reminder function with the vehicle speed greater than
about 8 kilometers-per-hour (5 miles-per-hour), the seatbelt indicator begins to cycle between
flashing on and off for 3 seconds, then lighting solid for 2 seconds. The seatbelt indicator continues
to cycle between flashing and solid illumination for 13 complete cycles, until the seatbelt indicator
driver input to the cluster is closed to ground (seatbelt switch closed = seatbelt buckled), or until the
ignition switch turns to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Driver Side Front Seatbelt Not Buckled - Beltminder Inactive - Following the seatbelt reminder
function, each time the cluster detects an open circuit on the seatbelt indicator driver circuit
(seatbelt switch open = seatbelt unbuckled) with the ignition switch in the START or ON positions,
the indicator illuminates. The seatbelt indicator remains illuminated until the seatbelt indicator driver
input to the cluster is closed to ground (seatbelt switch closed = seatbelt buckled), or until the
ignition switch turns to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Airbag Indicator Backup - If the instrument cluster detects a fault in the airbag indicator circuit it
sends an electronic message indicating the fault to the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), then
flash the seatbelt indicator on and off. The cluster continues to flash the indicator until the airbag
indicator circuit fault is resolved, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever
occurs first.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the seatbelt indicator will be turned
on, then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED
and the cluster control circuitry.
The seatbelt switch is connected in series between ground and the seatbelt indicator driver input to
the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). Use conventional
diagnostic tools and procedures to diagnose the hardwired seatbelt switch input to the instrument
cluster. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

Seat Belt Reminder Lamp: Testing and Inspection
ENHANCED SEATBELT REMINDER PROGRAMMING
The seatbelt indicator also includes a programmable enhanced seatbelt reminder or BELTMINDER
feature that is enabled when the vehicle is shipped from the factory. This BELTMINDER feature
provides extended and modified visual seatbelt indicator and audible chime warning responses to
an unbuckled driver side front seat belt. The BELTMINDER feature may be disabled or enabled by
the customer using the programming sequence that follows, or by the dealer using a diagnostic
scan tool.
CUSTOMER PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE
NOTE: The following sequence of events must occur within 60 seconds of the ignition switch being
placed in the ON position in order for the
programming to be completed successfully.
1. With all doors closed and the ignition switch in any position except ON or START, buckle the
driver side front seat belt. 2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and wait for the seatbelt
indicator reminder function to conclude (about six seconds). 3. Unbuckle and buckle the driver side
front seat belt three or more times, ending with the belt buckled. 4. Turn the ignition switch to any
position except ON or START to toggle the BELTMINDER feature from its current setting (from
active to
inactive, or from inactive to active). A single chime tone will provide an audible confirmation that the
programming sequence has been successfully completed.

Seat Belt Retractor: Description and Operation Seat Belt Retractor - Description
DESCRIPTION
The seat belt retractors used in all seating positions include an inertia-type, emergency locking
mechanism as standard equipment. However, the retractor locking mechanism for the second row
center seating position is mechanically switchable from an emergency locking retractor to an
automatic locking retractor. The primary function of this feature is to securely accommodate a child
seat in the second row center seating position of the vehicle without the need for a self-cinching
seat belt tip half latch plate unit or another supplemental device that would be required to prevent
the seat belt webbing from unwinding freely from the retractor spool of an inertia-type emergency
locking retractor mechanism.
The automatic locking mechanism is integral to the second row center seat belt and retractor unit
and is concealed beneath a molded plastic cover located on the side of the retractor spool. The
retractor is secured to the center section seat back frame and is concealed beneath the seat back
trim. The automatic locking mechanism cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or
damaged, the entire second row center seat belt and retractor unit must be replaced.

Seat Belt Retractor: Description and Operation Seat Belt Retractor - Operation
OPERATION
The locked mode of the retractor is engaged and the automatic locking retractor is switched from
operating as a standard inertia-type emergency locking retractor by first buckling the combination
lap and shoulder belt buckle. Then grasp the shoulder belt and pull all of the webbing out of the
retractor. Once all of the belt webbing is extracted from the spool, the retractor will automatically
become engaged in the pre-locked automatic locking mode and will make an audible clicking or
ratcheting sound as the shoulder belt is allowed to retract to confirm that the automatic locking
mode is now engaged. Once the automatic locking mode is engaged, the retractor will remain
locked and the belt will remain tight around whatever it is restraining.
The retractor is returned to standard emergency locking (inertia) mode by unbuckling the
combination lap and shoulder belt buckle and allowing the belt webbing to be almost fully retracted
onto the retractor spool. The emergency locking mode is confirmed by the absence of the audible
clicking or ratcheting sound as the belt webbing retracts. This mode will allow the belt to unwind
from and wind onto the retractor spool freely unless and until a predetermined inertia load is
sensed, or until the retractor is again switched to the automatic locking mode.

Seat Belt Tensioner: Description and Operation Seat Belt Tensioner - Description
DESCRIPTION
Seat belt tensioners supplement the dual front airbags for this vehicle. The seat belt tensioners are
integral to the front seat belt retractor units, which are secured to the inner B-pillar on the right and
left sides of the vehicle. The retractor is concealed beneath the molded plastic inner B-pillar trim.
The seat belt tensioner consists primarily of a sprocket/pinion, a steel tube, a cast metal housing,
numerous steel balls, a stamped metal ball trap, a torsion bar and a small pyrotechnically activated
gas generator with a connector receptacle. All of these components are located on one side of the
retractor spool on the outside of the retractor housing except for the torsion bar, which serves as
the spindle upon which the retractor spool rides. The seat belt tensioners are controlled by the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) and are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
dedicated take out of the body wire harness by a keyed and latching yellow molded plastic
connector insulator to ensure a secure connection.
The seat belt tensioners cannot be repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the entire front seat belt
and retractor unit must be replaced. If the front airbags have been deployed, the seat belt
tensioners have also been deployed. The seat belt tensioners are not intended for reuse and must
be replaced following any front airbag deployment. A growling or grinding sound while attempting to
operate the seat belt retractor is a sure indication that the seat belt tensioner has been deployed
and requires replacement. See: Seat Belt Retractor/Service and Repair/Seat Belt Retractor Removal.

Description and Operation > Seat Belt Tensioner - Description > Page 7840
Seat Belt Tensioner: Description and Operation Seat Belt Tensioner - Operation
OPERATION
The seat belt tensioners are deployed in conjunction with the dual front airbags by a signal
generated by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) through the driver or passenger seat belt
tensioner line 1 and line 2 (or squib) circuits. When the ORC sends the proper electrical signal to
the tensioners, the electrical energy generates enough heat to initiate a small pyrotechnic gas
generator.
The gas generator is installed in one end of a steel tube that contains numerous steel balls. As the
gas expands, it pushes the steel balls through the tube into a cast metal housing, where a ball
guide directs the balls into engagement with the teeth of a sprocket that is geared to one end of the
retractor spool. As the balls drive past the sprocket, the sprocket turns and drives the seat belt
retractor spool causing the slack to be removed from the front seat belts. The ball trap captures the
balls as they leave the sprocket and are expelled from the housing.
Removing excess slack from the front seat belts not only keeps the occupants properly positioned
for an airbag deployment following a frontal impact of the vehicle, but also helps to reduce injuries
that the occupant might experience in these situations as a result of harmful contact with the
steering wheel, steering column, instrument panel or windshield. Also, the seat belt tensioner
torsion bar that the retractor spool rides upon is designed to deform in order to control the loading
being applied to the occupants by the seat belts during a frontal impact, further reducing the
potential for occupant injuries.
The ORC monitors the condition of the seat belt tensioners through circuit resistance, and will
illuminate the airbag indicator in the Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as
the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) and store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that is
detected. Proper diagnosis of the seat belt tensioner gas generator and the seat belt tensioner
squib circuits requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information.

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation Impact Sensor - Description
Front
FRONT
Two front impact sensors (1) are used on this vehicle, one each for the left and right sides of the
vehicle. These sensors are mounted remotely from the impact sensor that is internal to the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). Each front sensor is secured with a screw to the backs of the
right and left vertical members of the radiator support within the engine compartment. The sensor
housing has an integral connector receptacle (4), an integral anti-rotation pin (3), and an integral
mounting hole (2) with a metal sleeve to provide crush protection.
The right and left front impact sensors are identical in construction and calibration. A cavity in the
center of the molded black plastic impact sensor housing contains the electronic circuitry of the
sensor which includes an electronic communication chip and an electronic impact sensor. Potting
material fills the cavity to seal and protect the internal electronic circuitry and components. The
front impact sensors are each connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take
out and connector of the headlamp and dash wire harness.
The impact sensors cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if damaged or ineffective, they must be
replaced.

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation Impact Sensor - Operation
Front
FRONT
The front impact sensors are electronic accelerometers that sense the rate of vehicle deceleration,
which provides verification of the direction and severity of an impact. Each sensor also contains an
electronic communication chip that allows the unit to communicate the sensor status as well as
sensor fault information to the microprocessor in the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC).
The ORC microprocessor continuously monitors all of the passive restraint system electrical
circuits to determine the system readiness. If the ORC detects a monitored system fault, it sets a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and controls the airbag indicator operation accordingly. The impact
sensors each receive battery current and ground through dedicated left and right sensor plus and
minus circuits from the ORC. The impact sensors and the ORC communicate by modulating the
voltage in the sensor plus circuit.
The hard wired circuits between the front impact sensors and the ORC may be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the impact
sensors or the electronic controls or communication between other modules and devices that
provide features of the supplemental restraint system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the impact sensors or the electronic controls and communication related to
front impact sensor operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

Seat Belt Buckle Switch: Description and Operation Driver Seat Belt Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The seat belt switch (4) is a small, normally open, single pole, single throw, plunger (3) actuated,
momentary switch. One seat belt switch is installed on the seat belt retractor frame (2) over the
retractor spool (1) for the driver side front seat. The seat belt switch includes an integral connector
that is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a take out and connector of the body wire
harness.
The seat belt switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the entire front
seat belt and retractor unit must be replaced.

Seat Belt Buckle Switch: Description and Operation Driver Seat Belt Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The seat belt switch is designed to control a path to ground for the seat belt switch sense input of
the Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN). The seat belt switch plunger is actuated by the seat belt webbing wound onto the seat
belt retractor spool. When the seat belt tip-half webbing is pulled out of the retractor far enough to
engage the seat belt buckle-half, the switch plunger is extended and closes the seat belt switch
sense circuit to ground. Conversely, when the seat belt tip-half webbing is wound onto the retractor
spool the switch plunger is depressed, opening the ground path.
The EMIC monitors the seat belt switch status, then controls the illumination of the seatbelt
indicator and the generation of audible electronic chime tones based upon that input. The seat belt
switch receives ground through its connection to the body wire harness from another take out of
the body wire harness. An eyelet terminal connector on that ground take out is secured under a
ground screw. The seat belt switch is connected in series between ground and the seat belt switch
sense input of the EMIC.
The seat belt switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

DESCRIPTION
The seat track position sensor (1) is a Hall Effect-type sensor. This sensor consists of a Hall Effect
Integrated Circuit (IC) chip encased in potting material within a cavity of the molded plastic sensor
housing.
The sensor housing has two integral snap features (3) and snaps into a stamped metal bracket
located on the inboard side of one of the seat adjuster tracks on the front seat of vehicles so
equipped. A molded connector receptacle (2) integral to the sensor housing is connected to the
vehicle electrical system through a connector and take out of the seat wire harness beneath the
front seat cushion frame.
The seat track position sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the
entire sensor must be replaced.

Seat Position Sensor: Description and Operation Seat Track Position Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The seat track position sensor is designed to provide a seat position data input to the Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) indicating whether the driver side front seat is in a full forward or a not
full forward position. The ORC uses this data as an additional logic input for use in determining the
appropriate deployment force to be used when deploying the multistage driver side front airbag.
The seat track position sensor receives a nominal five volt supply from the ORC. The sensor
communicates the seat position by modulating the voltage returned to the ORC on a sensor data
circuit. The ORC also monitors the condition of the sensor circuits and will store a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that is detected. The ORC then sends messages over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to control the illumination of the airbag indicator in the
Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN).
The hard wired circuits between the seat track position sensor and the ORC may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the seat
track position sensor or the electronic controls and communication between other modules and
devices that provide features of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). The most reliable,
efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the seat track position sensor or the electronic controls
and communication related to seat track position sensor operation requires the use of a diagnostic
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Alarm Module: Description and Operation Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKREEM) - Description
DESCRIPTION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (1) is sometimes referred to as the Wireless
Control Module (WCM), and is also known as the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM). The
SKREEM is the primary component of the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS). It is also the
receiver for the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system. The SKREEM is located on the right side of
the steering column, near the ignition lock cylinder housing and is concealed beneath the steering
column shrouds. The molded black plastic housing for the SKREEM has an integral molded plastic
halo-like antenna ring (4) that extends from the bottom. When the SKREEM is properly installed on
the steering column, the antenna ring is oriented around the circumference of the ignition lock
cylinder housing.
A single integral connector receptacle (3) is located just behind the antenna ring on the bottom of
the SKREEM housing. An integral molded plastic mounting tab (2) on the rear corner of the
SKREEM housing has a hole in the center through which a screw passes to secure the unit to the
steering column. The SKREEM is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a single take
out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
Several unique SKREEM modules are used: one for vehicles equipped with RKE only, one for
vehicles equipped with RKE and SKIS, and another version has an additional coaxial connector
receptacle that allows it to receive inputs from the optional remote start antenna module. The
SKREEM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the entire SKREEM unit must
be replaced.

Alarm Module: Description and Operation Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKREEM) - Operation
OPERATION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as the Sentry Key Immobilizer
Module/SKIM or the Wireless Control Module/WCM) contains a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver
and a microprocessor. The SKREEM transmits RF signals to, and receives RF signals from the
Sentry Key transponder through a tuned antenna enclosed within the molded plastic antenna ring
integral to the SKREEM housing. If this antenna ring is not mounted properly around the ignition
lock cylinder housing, communication problems between the SKREEM and the transponder may
arise. These communication problems will result in Sentry Key transponder-related faults.
The SKREEM also serves as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) RF receiver and may receive RF
inputs either directly through an internal antenna from the RKE key fob transmitter or, on vehicles
equipped with an optional remote start system, indirectly through the external remote start antenna
module. See: Body and Frame/Locks/Power Locks/Description and Operation/Power Locks Description. The SKREEM communicates over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus with
the Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN), the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), or the diagnostic scan tool.
The SKREEM and the PCM both use software that includes a rolling code algorithm strategy,
which helps to reduce the possibility of unauthorized Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS)
disarming. The rolling code algorithm ensures security by preventing an override of the SKIS
through the unauthorized substitution of the SKREEM or the PCM. However, the use of this
strategy also means that replacement of either the SKREEM or the PCM units will require a system
initialization procedure to restore system operation.
The SKREEM retains in memory the ID numbers of any Sentry Key transponder that is
programmed into it. A maximum of eight Sentry Key transponders can be programmed into the
SKREEM. For added system security, each SKREEM is programmed with a unique Secret Key
code. This code is stored in memory, sent over the CAN data bus to the PCM, and is encoded to
the transponder of every Sentry Key that is programmed into the SKREEM. Therefore, the Secret
Key code is a common element that is found in every component of the SKIS.
Another security code, called a PIN, is used to gain access to the SKREEM Secured Access Mode.
The Secured Access Mode is required during service to perform the SKIS initialization and Sentry
Key transponder programming procedures. The SKREEM also stores the Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN) in its memory, which it learns through a CAN data bus message from the PCM
during SKIS initialization.
In the event that a SKREEM replacement is required, the Secret Key code can be transferred to
the new SKREEM from the PCM using the diagnostic scan tool and the SKIS initialization
procedure. Proper completion of the SKIS initialization will allow the existing Sentry Keys to be
programmed into the new SKREEM so that new keys will not be required. In the event that the
original Secret Key code cannot be recovered, SKREEM replacement will also require new Sentry
Keys. The diagnostic scan tool will alert the technician during the SKIS initialization procedure if
new Sentry Keys are required.
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the SKREEM transmits an RF signal to excite
the transponder in the ignition key. The SKREEM then waits for an RF signal response from the
transponder. If the response received identifies the key as valid, the SKREEM sends an electronic
valid key message to the PCM over the CAN data bus. If the response received identifies the key
as invalid or if no response is received from the key transponder, the SKREEM sends an invalid
key message to the PCM. The PCM will enable or disable engine operation based upon the status
of the SKREEM messages. It is important to note that the default condition in the PCM is an invalid
key; therefore, if no message is received from the SKREEM by the PCM, the engine will be
disabled and the vehicle immobilized after two seconds of running.
The SKREEM also sends electronic security indicator request messages to the EMIC over the CAN
data bus to tell the EMIC how to operate the security indicator. The security indicator request
message from the SKREEM tells the EMIC to turn the indicator ON for about three seconds each
time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position as a bulb test. After completion of the bulb test,
the SKREEM sends security indicator request messages to the EMIC to turn the indicator OFF,
turn the indicator ON, or to flash the indicator ON and OFF. If the security indicator flashes or stays
ON solid after the bulb test, it signifies a SKIS fault. If the SKREEM detects a system malfunction
or if the SKIS has become ineffective, the security indicator will stay ON solid. If the SKREEM
detects an invalid key or if a key transponder-related fault exists, the security indicator will flash. If
the vehicle is equipped with the Customer Learn transponder programming feature, the SKREEM
will also send messages to the EMIC to flash the security indicator whenever the Customer Learn
programming mode is being utilized. See: Service and Repair.
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, and will
store fault information in the form of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in SKREEM memory if a
system malfunction is detected. The hard wired circuits of the SKREEM may be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the
SKREEM or the electronic controls or communication between other modules and devices that
provide some features of the SKIS. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
the SKREEM or the electronic controls and communication related to SKREEM operation requires
the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

DESCRIPTION
Each ignition key (2) used in the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) has a transponder chip
included on the circuit board (4) beneath the cover (1) of the integral Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter (3). In addition to having to be cut to match the mechanical coding of the ignition lock
cylinder and programmed for operation of the RKE system, each new Sentry Key has a unique
transponder identification code that is permanently programmed into it by the manufacturer, and
which must be programmed into the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as
the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module/SKIM or the Wireless Control Module/WCM) to be recognized
by the SKIS as a valid key.
The Sentry Key transponder cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the entire
key and RKE transmitter unit must be replaced.

Alarm System Transponder: Description and Operation Transponder Key - Operation
OPERATION
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module
(SKREEM) (also known as the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module/SKIM or the Wireless Control
Module/WCM) communicates through its antenna with the Sentry Key transponder using a Radio
Frequency (RF) signal. The SKREEM then listens for a RF response from the transponder through
the same antenna. The Sentry Key transponder chip is within the range of the SKREEM
transceiver antenna ring when it is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder. The SKREEM determines
whether a valid key is present in the ignition lock cylinder based upon the response from the
transponder. If a valid key is detected, that fact is communicated by the SKREEM to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus, and the PCM allows the
engine to continue running. If the PCM receives an invalid key message, or receives no message
from the SKREEM over the CAN data bus, the engine will be disabled after about two seconds of
operation. The Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab
Compartment Node/CCN) will also respond to the invalid key message on the CAN data bus by
flashing the security indicator ON and OFF.
Each Sentry Key has a unique transponder identification code permanently programmed into it by
the manufacturer. Likewise, the SKREEM has a unique Secret Key code programmed into it by the
manufacturer. When a Sentry Key is programmed into the memory of the SKREEM, the SKREEM
stores the transponder identification code from the Sentry Key, and the Sentry Key learns the
Secret Key code from the SKREEM. Once the Sentry Key learns the Secret Key code of the
SKREEM, it is permanently stored in the memory of the transponder. Therefore, once a Sentry Key
has been programmed to a particular vehicle, it cannot be used on any other vehicle. See: Service
and Repair.
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, and will
store key-related fault information in the form of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in SKREEM
memory if a Sentry Key transponder problem is detected. The Sentry Key transponder chip can be
diagnosed, and any stored DTC can be retrieved using a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Alarm System Transponder: Testing and Inspection
SENTRY KEY TRANSPONDER PROGRAMMING
All Sentry Keys included with the vehicle are pre-programmed to work with the Sentry Key
Immobilizer System (SKIS) when it is shipped from the factory. The Sentry Key REmote Entry
Module (SKREEM) (also known as the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module/SKIM or the Wireless
Control Module/WCM) may 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 switch
lock cylinder in the vehicle for which it will be used. Once the additional or new key has been cut,
the SKREEM must be programmed to recognize it as a valid key. There are two possible methods
to program the SKREEM to recognize a new or additional valid key, the Secured Access Method
and the Customer Learn Method. Following are the details of these two programming methods.
SECURED ACCESS METHOD
The Secured Access method applies to all vehicles. This method requires the use of a diagnostic
scan tool. This method will also require that you have access to the unique four-digit PIN code that
was assigned to the original SKREEM. The PIN code must be used to enter the Secured Access
Mode in the SKREEM. This PIN number may be obtained from the vehicle owner, from the original
vehicle invoice, or from the Chrysler Customer Center. See: Keyless Entry/Keyless Entry
Module/Testing and Inspection.
CUSTOMER LEARN METHOD
NOTE: The Customer Learn feature is only available on domestic market vehicles, or those
vehicles which have a U.S. country code
designator. This programming method also requires access to at least two valid Sentry Keys. If two
valid Sentry Keys are not available, or if the vehicle does not have a U.S. country code designator,
the Secured Access Method MUST be used to program new or additional valid keys to the
SKREEM.
The Customer Learn programming method procedures are as follows:
1. Obtain the blank Sentry Key(s) that are to be programmed as valid keys for the vehicle. Cut the
blank key(s) to match the ignition switch 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 3 seconds, but
no more than 15 seconds, cycle the ignition switch back to the
OFF position. Replace the first valid Sentry Key in the ignition switch 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 in the lock cylinder within 15 seconds of removing the first valid key.
4. About 10 seconds after the completion of 3 , the security indicator in the instrument cluster will
start to flash to indicate that the system has entered
the Customer Learn programming mode.
5. Within 60 seconds of entering the Customer Learn 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 10 seconds after the completion of 5 , the security indicator will stop flashing, stay ON
solid for 3 seconds, then turn OFF to indicate that
the blank Sentry Key has been successfully programmed. The SKIS will immediately exit the
Customer Learn programming mode. After the ignition is cycled the vehicle may be started using
the newly programmed valid Sentry Key.
Each of these steps must be repeated and completed in their entirety for each additional Sentry
Key that is to be programmed. If the above steps are not completed in the given sequence, or
within the allotted time, the SKIS will exit the Customer Learn programming mode and the
programming will be unsuccessful. The SKREEM will also automatically exit the Customer Learn
programming mode if it sees a non-blank Sentry Key transponder when it should see a blank, if it
has already programmed 8 valid Sentry Keys, or if the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position
for more than about 50 seconds.
NOTE: If an attempt is made to start the vehicle while in the Customer Learn mode (security
indicator flashing), the SKIS will respond as
though the vehicle were being started with an invalid key. In other words, the engine will stall after
about two seconds of operation. No faults will be set.
NOTE: Once a Sentry Key has been programmed as a valid key to a vehicle, it cannot be
programmed as a valid key for use on any other
vehicle.

Hood Sensor/Switch (For Alarm): Description and Operation Vehicle Theft Security Hood Ajar
Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The hood ajar switch is a normally closed, single pole, spring-loaded plunger actuated switch. This
switch has two unique versions that are used in three different applications. One switch is used
only on vehicles equipped with the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) system for sale in certain export
markets where protection of the underhood area is required equipment. The second switch is used
only on domestic market vehicles equipped with either an optional remote starter system or the
optional Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system.
The molded plastic switch body (5) has an integral molded connector receptacle (1) on the lower
end containing two terminal pins. The switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
dedicated take out of the headlamp and dash wire harness. Two integral latches (2) lock the switch
into a keyed mounting hole. For the vehicle theft and remote start applications, the switch is
secured within the stamped metal inner left fender mounting flange within the engine compartment.
For the HEV applications, the switch is secured within the stamped metal inner right fender
mounting flange within the engine compartment. A molded plastic striker secured to the underside
of the hood panel inner reinforcement actuates the switch plunger as the hood panel is closed.
The switch plunger (3) extends through a mounting collar (4) and a sleeve-like retainer ring on the
upper end of the switch body. The retainer ring has a one time, self-adjustment feature that is
activated after the switch is installed by closing the hood. The retainer ring is also color-coded to
aid in identifying the switch application. A dark brown retainer ring identifies the underhood security
switch application, while a white retainer ring identifies the remote starter system or HEV system
application.
An installed hood ajar switch cannot be readjusted or repaired. If the switch is damaged,
ineffective, or requires readjustment, it must be replaced with a new unit. The hood ajar switch
striker is not intended for reuse. If the striker is removed from the hood inner reinforcement for any
reason, it must be replaced with a new unit.

Hood Sensor/Switch (For Alarm): Description and Operation Vehicle Theft Security Hood Ajar
Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The hood ajar switches are interchangeable physically, but not functionally. In each case, the hood
ajar switch is a normally closed switch that is held open as the spring-loaded switch plunger is
depressed by the striker on the inner hood panel reinforcement when the hood panel is closed and
latched. When the hood is opened, the spring-loaded switch plunger extends from the switch body
and the switch contacts are closed.
In the underhood security application (export market vehicles only - dark brown retainer ring), the
switch is connected in series between ground and the hood ajar switch sense input of the Front
Control Module (FCM). The FCM uses an internal resistor pull up to monitor the state of the hood
ajar switch contacts.
In the remote starter system application (domestic market vehicles only - white retainer ring) the
switch has a 1 kilo ohm diagnostic resistor connected in parallel to the switch contacts between the
two switch terminals. The switch is connected in series between an output of the FCM and the
hood ajar switch sense input of the FCM. The FCM continually monitors this circuit and will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that it detects. When the hood switch is closed (hood
is open), the remote start feature is disabled.
In the Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system application (white retainer ring) the switch has a 1 kilo
ohm diagnostic resistor connected in parallel to the switch contacts between the two switch
terminals. The switch is connected in series between ground and the hood ajar switch sense input
of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM continually monitors this circuit and will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that it detects. When the hood switch is closed (hood
is open), the gasoline engine auto-start feature is disabled.
The components of the switch self-adjustment feature include an integral stop on the shaft of the
plunger and a ribbed, ratcheting sleeve-like retainer ring at the top of the switch body from which
the plunger extends. With the switch mounting collar secured in its mounting hole, the plunger is
depressed by the striker on the hood inner reinforcement as the hood is closed. As the plunger is
depressed, the plunger stop contacts the top of the retainer ring and it is driven downward,
ratcheting through the switch mounting collar until the hood is fully closed and latched. The ribs on
the retainer ring are engaged within the mounting collar to maintain this adjusted position.
The hood ajar switch as well as the hard wired circuits between the switch and the FCM or PCM
may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate
wiring information. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the
diagnosis of the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices related
to hood ajar switch operation that provide some features of the export market vehicle theft,
domestic market remote starter or the HEV systems. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the electronic controls and communication related to hood ajar switch operation
requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Keyless Entry Module: Testing and Inspection
SKREEM PROGRAMMING
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a gasoline engine, or an Engine Control Module
(ECM) for a diesel engine and the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as the
Wireless Control Module/WCM) on vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
NOTE: If the PCM and the SKREEM are replaced at the same time, program the PCM VIN into the
PCM first.
1. If applicable first replace the PCM/ECM with the original WCM still connected to the vehicle. 2.
Using the appropriate service information program the new PCM/ECM. (This will ensure the Secret
Key Transfer from the original WCM into the
new PCM/ECM).
3. Now replace and program the WCM. This will retain the Secret Key from the PCM/ECM back
into the new WCM. 4. With the scan tool, select Miscellaneous Functions, WCM/Wireless Control
Module. Then select the desired procedure and follow the display on
the scan tool.
5. If the vehicle is equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System program the Placard Pressure
Values into the WCM/SKREEM. 6. Ensure all the customer's keys have been programmed into the
new module if necessary.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly,
programming new keys will be necessary.
PROGRAMMING THE SKREEM
The SKIS Secret Key is an ID code that is unique to each SKREEM/WCM. This code is
programmed and stored in the SKREEM/WCM, the PCM/ECM, and each ignition key transponder
chip. When the PCM/ECM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret
Key into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in
the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED, ECM REPLACED, WCM REPLACED, or
GATEWAY REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL
MODULE/WCM menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Programming the PCM/ECM or SKREEM is done using a diagnostic scan tool and a PIN to
enter secure access mode. If three
attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an incorrect PIN, secure access mode will
be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn the ignition to the RUN position for one
hour then enter the correct PIN. Be certain that all accessories are turned OFF. Also monitor the
battery state and connect a battery charger if necessary.
NOTE: Before replacing the ECU 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 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.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When a ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM 3. Replace all ignition keys and program them
to the new SKIM.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When an ECM (Bosch) and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in
order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM (Bosch) 3. Replace all ignition keys and
program them to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING THE SKIM
CAUTION: Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle. 2. Connect the StarSCAN(R).
CAUTION: If the ECM/PCM and SKREEM/WCM are replaced at the same time, the ECM/PCM
MUST be programmed before the
SKREEM/WCM.

Keyless Entry Module > Component Information > Locations > Page 7968
3. Select "ECU View". 4. Select "WCM Wireless Control Module". 5. Select "Miscellaneous
Functions". 6. Select WCM replaced. 7. Enter the PIN when prompted. 8. Verify the correct
information.
NOTE: If the ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time, all vehicle keys will need to be
replaced and programmed to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE/WCM menu item.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly,
programming new keys will be necessary.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret
Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
PROGRAMMING NOT ATTEMPTED - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status
and there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- PROGRAMMING KEY FAILED (POSSIBLE USED KEY FROM WRONG VEHICLE) - SKREEM is
unable to program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is ineffective.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.
- 8 KEYS ALREADY LEARNED, PROGRAMMING NOT DONE - The SKREEM transponder ID
memory is full.
- LEARNED KEY IN IGNITION - The ID for the ignition key transponder currently in the ignition lock
cylinder is already programmed into SKREEM memory.

Security Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Security System Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A security indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not
equipped with the optional Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS), this indicator is electronically
disabled. This indicator is located near the upper edge of the instrument cluster, between the
tachometer and the speedometer.
The security indicator consists of a small round cutout in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster
overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it
is not illuminated. A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The security indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Security Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Security System Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The security indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the Vehicle Theft Security
System (VTSS) is arming or armed. On vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS), the security indicator also gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the status of the
SKIS. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon
cluster programming, hardwired inputs to the cluster from the various security system components
and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module
(SKREEM) (also known as the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module/SKIM or the Wireless Control
Module/WCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The security indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic allows the indicator to operate whenever the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused B(+) circuit. Therefore, the LED can be illuminated regardless of
the ignition switch position. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the
instrument cluster transistor. Depending upon the programmed condition the indicator can be
illuminated solid, flashed at a slow rate (0.5 Hertz, 12.5 percent duty cycle), or flashed at a fast rate
(1 Hertz, 50 percent duty cycle). The instrument cluster turns on the security indicator for the
following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the ON position the security indicator illuminates
for about two seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the SKREEM.
VTSS Indication - During the 16 second VTSS arming function, the cluster flashes the security
indicator on and off repeatedly at a steady, fast rate to indicate that the VTSS is in the process of
arming. Following successful VTSS arming, the cluster flashes the security indicator on and off
continuously at a slower rate to indicate that the VTSS is armed. The security indicator continues
flashing at the slower rate until the VTSS is disarmed or triggered. If the VTSS has alarmed and
rearmed, the cluster flashes the security indicator at a steady, slow rate for about 30 seconds after
the VTSS is disarmed.
- SKIS Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic SKIS indicator
lamp-on message from the SKREEM, the security indicator will be illuminated. The indicator can be
flashed on and off, or illuminated solid, as dictated by the SKREEM message. The indicator
remains illuminated solid or continues to flash until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from
the SKREEM, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. For
more information on the SKIS and the security indicator control parameters, See: Description and
Operation/Vehicle Theft Security System - Operation.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-ON or lamp-OFF messages from the
SKREEM for 10 consecutive message cycles, the security indicator is illuminated by the instrument
cluster. The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid lamp-ON or
lamp-OFF message is received from the SKREEM.
- Self Test - Each time the instrument cluster is put through the self test, the security indicator turns
on, then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED
and the cluster control circuitry.
The instrument cluster circuitry controls the security indicator whenever the ignition switch is in the
OFF position and the VTSS is arming, armed, or alarming. Whenever the ignition switch is in the
ON or START positions, the SKREEM performs a self-test to decide whether the SKIS is in good
operating condition and whether a valid key is present in the ignition lock cylinder. The SKREEM
then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF messages to the instrument cluster, also known as
the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). If the cluster flashes the security indicator upon ignition on, or
turns on the security indicator solid after the bulb test, it indicates that a SKIS malfunction has
occurred or that the SKIS is ineffective.
Using a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the VTSS, the SKIS, the SKREEM, the CCN,
the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to security indicator operation. Refer to
the appropriate diagnostic information.

Cellular Phone: Description and Operation Navigation/Telecommunication - Description
DESCRIPTION
TELECOMMUNICATIONS
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with the navigation radio, the hands free module is located within the
radio.
The hands-free cellular system uses Bluetooth(TM) technology to provide wireless communication
between the operator's compatible cellular telephone and the vehicle's on-board receiver.
The system uses voice recognition technology to control operation. The incoming voice is
broadcast through the vehicle's radio speakers, automatically overriding any other audio signals on
the front speakers when the hands-free system is in use. A microphone in the rear view mirror
picks up vehicle occupant's voices. If a call is in progress when the ignition is switched off, the
hands-free system will continue to operate for up to 45 seconds as part of the Accessory Relay
Delay function. Thereafter, the call can continue on the hand-held telephone.
The center console front storage compartment includes a cellular telephone holder, but the system
will communicate with a telephone that is anywhere within the vehicle. However, covering the hand
held phone or the hands-free phone module with a metal object may block the signal. The system
will recognize up to seven telephones, each of which is given a spoken identification by the user
during the setup process. The system includes Spanish and French voice recognition in addition to
English.
Two buttons on the rearview mirror, identified with ISO icons, control the system: A "phone" button
turns the system on and off; a "voice recognition" (or voice command) button prompts the
hands-free system to listen for a voice command.
NAVIGATION
The navigation system offers several new customer features for expanded usability and
convenience with hands-free voice-activated operation in addition to the touch screen buttons. The
navigation system uses the Bluetooth microphone in the rear view mirror. Navigation routes can be
based on a variety of formats including some of the following:
- Destination entry by street intersection, city, zip code, street name, street address and number,
state/province/country and phone number
- Stop/change route

Parking Assist Control Module: Description and Operation Park Assist Module - Operation
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the park assist module contains the park assist system logic circuits. The
module uses On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can communicate with other electronic modules in
the vehicle as well as with the diagnostic scan tool using the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus. This method of communication is also used for park assist system diagnosis and testing
through the 16-way data link connector located on the driver side lower edge of the instrument
panel.
The module provides voltage to the four park assist sensors located behind the rear bumper fascia
and to the park assist display located in the headliner just forward of the liftgate opening header.
The module then monitors return inputs from each of the sensors and the display on dedicated
hard wired data communication circuits. The sensor inputs allow the module to determine when an
obstacle is in the rear path of the vehicle and enables the module to calculate the relative location
of the obstacle, and whether the distance to that obstacle is increasing or decreasing.
Pre-programmed decision algorithms and calibrations allow the module microprocessor to
determine the appropriate park assist system outputs based upon the inputs received from the park
assist sensors and electronic messages received from other modules in the vehicle over the CAN
data bus. When the programmed conditions are met the module sends electronic messages to the
park assist displays over a dedicated serial bus to obtain the proper park assist system visual and
audible outputs. The module also broadcasts electronic messages over the CAN data bus to
enable the other electronic features of the park assist system.
The park assist module microprocessor continuously monitors all of the park assist system
electrical circuits and components to determine the system readiness. If the module detects a
monitored system fault, it sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and sends the appropriate
electronic messages to the instrument cluster over the CAN data bus to control operation of certain
park assist system audible warnings and textual messages displayed in the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC).
The park assist module receives battery current on a fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit
through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB). The module receives ground through a ground circuit and
take out of the body wire harness. These connections allow the module to be operational whenever
the ignition switch is in the START or ON positions.
The hard wired circuits between components related to the park assist module may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. 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.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the park
assist module or the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices that
provide some features of the park assist system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means
to diagnose the park assist module or the electronic controls and communication related to park
assist module operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the park assist system have four park assist sensors (1) installed on the
rear bumper fascia. Only the membrane (3) of each sensor is visible through a hole in the outer
vertical surface of the fascia. The remainder of each sensor including the sensor mounting bracket,
the sensor spacer and the sensor wiring connection is concealed behind the fascia. A sensor wire
harness behind the fascia connects the sensors to the vehicle electrical system.
Each of the four sensors is identical in construction and is interchangeable. The electronic circuitry
and a communication chip for each sensor is enclosed and protected within the molded black
plastic sensor housing. The housing includes an integral connector receptacle (4) and two integral
latch tabs (2). The sensor membrane extends from the surface of the sensor housing, and is
finished to match or contrast with the outer surface of the fascia.
The numbering system for the park assist sensors allows for up to twelve sensors on the vehicle,
six front and six rear. The sensors are numbered in a clockwise manner starting at the left front
bumper. The left front sensor (if equipped with front park assist) is the number 1 sensor. The
numbering continues in a clockwise direction around the vehicle. Since this vehicle uses only four
rear sensors, sensor numbers 7 and 12 are omitted, so the left rear sensor is the number 11
sensor.

OPERATION
The park assist sensors are ultrasonic transceivers that are completely controlled by the park assist
module. The sensors transmit and receive ultrasonic signals. The sensors each receive battery
current and ground in parallel from the module, but are each connected to individual dedicated
serial bus communication circuits to the module.
Each sensor membrane is oscillated, then quieted by the module in a pulsing fashion. While the
sensor membrane oscillates, it emits an ultrasonic signal. This signal will bounce or echo off of
objects in the path of the vehicle. While quieted, each membrane receives the echoes of the
ultrasonic signals it and the other sensors have transmitted. The sensors then communicate this
echo data over the serial bus lines back to the module. The microprocessor in the module uses the
intervals between the ultrasonic transmission and reception data from the sensors to calculate the
distance to any obstacles identified by the ultrasonic echoes.
The hard wired circuits between components related to the park assist sensors may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. 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.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the park

PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
A park assist system is an optional factory-installed electronic parking aid. During parking and other
similar vehicle maneuvers this system alerts the vehicle operator to obstacles located in the path
immediately behind the vehicle which, due to the surrounding rear vehicle structure, might be
otherwise difficult to perceive. When an object is detected, the system uses an electromechanical
transducer and Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicators within the park assist display unit to provide
the vehicle operator with visual and audible indications of the presence and proximity of such
objects.
The park assist system includes the following major components, which are described in further
detail elsewhere in this service information:
- Electronic Vehicle Information Center (1) - In vehicles equipped with the optional park assist
system, the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) in the overhead console displays textual
warnings and error messages and emits audible warnings related to the current operating status of
the park assist system and provides an interface that allows the vehicle operator to manually
disable or enable the system using the customer programmable features option.
- Park Assist Display (3) - Vehicles equipped with the park assist system have a park assist display
unit mounted in the rear of the headliner just forward of the liftgate opening. The body of the display
is concealed above the headliner where it is secured by a retainer on the back of the headliner
substrate. Only the narrow, oval-shaped smoked clear lens of the display is visible on the outer
surface of the headliner.
- Park Assist Module (2) - Vehicles equipped with the park assist system include a park assist
module which is secured through integral mounting tabs by push-in type fasteners to the quarter
inner panel above the left rear wheel housing where it is concealed beneath the quarter inner trim
panel.
- Park Assist Sensors (4) - Vehicles equipped with the park assist system have four ultrasonic park
assist sensors that are concealed behind the rear bumper fascia. Each sensor is snapped into an
individual molded plastic mounting bracket located at horizontal intervals along the back side of the
rear bumper fascia.
Hard wired circuitry connects the various park assist 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 and to the vehicle electrical system through the use of a
combination of soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many different types of wire harness
terminal connectors and insulators. 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 park assist system components cannot be adjusted or repaired. If any of the park assist
system components is damaged or ineffective, that component must be replaced.

Parking Assist Warning Indicator: Description and Operation Chime/Buzzer - Operation
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
The park assist system is active only when the ignition switch is in the ON or START positions, the
parking brake is released, the transmission gear selector lever is in either the REVERSE position
and the vehicle speed is less than 16 kph (10 mph) or, the DRIVE position and the vehicle speed is
less than 14 kph (8 mph) on deceleration, or 18 kph (12 mph) on acceleration. In vehicles equipped
with this option, the system is enabled from the factory as a default. The system can be manually
disabled and enabled by the vehicle operator using the customer programmable features option of
the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) in the overhead console.
Reasons for disabling the system include trailer towing and off road use. With a trailer attached to
the vehicle the audible and visible park assist alerts would be incessant whenever the gear selector
lever was in the REVERSE position due to the proximity of the trailer to the rear of the vehicle.
Similarly, operating the vehicle off road may cause the park assist alerts to become distracting due
to the proximity of large trees or boulders and the extreme rear approach angles that may be
encountered while maneuvering on off road trails or terrain. When the system is disabled, a PARK
ASSIST DISABLED textual message will appear in the EVIC display whenever the gear selector
lever is in the REVERSE position.
The microprocessor based park assist module is the central component of the park assist system.
It supplies voltage to the park assist sensors and the park assist display, receives and analyzes
data from the sensors, calculates and communicates the proper display information to the park
assist display, performs system diagnostics, and communicates with other electronic modules in
the vehicle or with a diagnostic scan tool over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. The
module operates on battery voltage received through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB), and is
grounded through a take out and eyelet terminal of the body wire harness that is secured by a
screw to the left inner D-pillar.
Four ultrasonic park assist sensors in the rear bumper fascia allow the park assist system to locate
and identify the proximity of nearby obstacles. These sensors each generate ultrasonic sound
pulses when triggered by the park assist module, then signal the module when an echo of the
reflected sound pulses is received. The detection distance range from the rear of the vehicle is
about 0.3 meters (11.8 inches) to about 2.0 meters (80 inches), and the detection height range
from the ground is about 0.2 meters (7.8 inches) to about 0.8 meters (31 inches). The detection
area extends somewhat around both rear sides (corners) of the vehicle.
The park assist display unit provides the vehicle operator with both visible and audible warnings
indicating the relative range of a detected object. The display is visible to the vehicle operator over
an inboard shoulder when looking rearward while backing the vehicle up, but is not visible in a
properly adjusted inside rear view mirror when looking forward. The display contains two sets of
eight Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicator units, one set dedicated to each side of the vehicle, and
an audible chime tone transducer. The LED units are concealed beneath a smoked oval lens and
are not clearly visible when they are not illuminated. When the park assist system is active and no
obstacles are detected (stand-by mode), the two rectangular amber LED units in the display are
illuminated at a reduced intensity to provide visual confirmation that the system is operating.
The display provides a visual indication of a detected object and its proximity by illuminating one or
more LED indicators, beginning with the outer most round amber indicators and moving toward the
center of the display as the vehicle gets closer to the object. As the vehicle comes to within about
200 centimeters (about 78.7 inches) of the object, one or both of the inner most rectangular amber
LED indicators illuminate at full intensity and the display emits a single half-second audible beep.
As the vehicle comes to within about 50 centimeters (19.7 inches) of the object, all of the amber
indicators and the first red LED indicator are illuminated and the display emits a series of short,
intermittent, audible beeps. If the audio system is turned ON, the audio output will be muted
automatically while the park assist audible warning is being generated. The audible warning
changes from intermittent beeps to a continuous tone as the final red indicator is illuminated and
the vehicle comes to within 30 centimeters (11.8 inches) of a detected object.
When the park assist module monitors a problem in any of the park assist system circuits or
components, it stores a fault code or Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in its memory circuit,
illuminates all four red LED units in the park assist display, sends an electronic message to the
EVIC, and a SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM textual message is displayed in the EVIC display.
The hard wired circuits between components related to the park assist system may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. 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.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the park
assist system or the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices that
provide some features of the park assist system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means
to diagnose the park assist system or the electronic controls and communication related to park
assist system operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate

DESCRIPTION
The park assist display (1) is located in the headliner at the rear of the vehicle, just forward of the
upper liftgate opening header. Only the smoked clear plastic display lens (3) is visible on the
headliner. The lens prevents the 4 red Light Emitting Diode (LED) units and 12 amber LED units
from being clearly visible unless they are illuminated by the electronic circuitry of the display.
The remainder of the display including the mounting provisions and the electrical connection are
concealed above the headliner. A molded plastic housing with an integral connector receptacle (2)
at one end contains and protects the electronic circuitry of the display, including an audible tone
transducer and an electronic communication chip.
A molded plastic retainer (1) with three integral tabs (2) engages three slots integral to the display
housing above the lens. The retainer is installed over the display housing above the headliner
substrate to engage and securely lock the display into the opening in the headliner. An arrow and
the text REAR are molded into an integral installation tab (3) to ensure correct retainer orientation.
The park assist display is serviced only as a complete unit. It cannot be adjusted or repaired. If
ineffective or damaged, the entire display unit must be replaced.

Parking Assist Warning Indicator: Description and Operation Park Assist Display - Operation
OPERATION
The park assist display provides the vehicle operator with visual feedback by illuminating amber or
red Light Emitting Diode (LED) units individually or in unison, and audible feedback by energizing
an audible tone transducer on the display electronic circuit board to emit either an intermittent or a
continuous tone. While the park assist system is active, the number, position and color of the
illuminated LED units as well as the audible signal frequency indicate the relative position and
distance of obstacles detected at the rear of the vehicle.
The park assist display receives battery current and ground from and is completely controlled by
the park assist module. The display also contains an electronic communication chip that allows
bi-directional communication to occur with the park assist module over a dedicated serial bus line.
The microprocessor in the park assist module completely controls the display outputs, continually
monitors the display status, and will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in memory for any
monitored fault it detects in the park assist display. The illumination intensity of the LED units is
also controlled by the park assist module based upon internal programming and electronic panel
lamps dimming messages received over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, all 16 of the LED units in the display will
illuminate in unison for approximately 1 second as a bulb test. This output will be interrupted if the
system is active and senses an obstacle. Following the conclusion of the bulb test, when the
system is active but no obstacle is detected, the display will indicate system readiness by
illuminating the two inner most amber LED units (1) at a reduced intensity. As an obstacle is
detected, the outermost amber LED unit (5) on the side of the vehicle where the obstacle was
detected will be illuminated at normal intensity and a single short audible tone (one-half second
duration) is sounded. Then additional amber LED units (6) will begin illuminating inward (2 or 4) as
the obstacle gets closer until, finally, the two red LED units (7) are illuminated.
When the final red LED unit (3) is illuminated, the obstacle is approximately 40 centimeters (16
inches) from the rear corner of the vehicle or approximately 50 centimeters (19.7 inches) from the
rear bumper face and an intermittent audible tone will be generated. The frequency of the audible
tone will increase as the obstacle continues to become closer until the tone is continuous when the
obstacle is about 15 centimeters (6 inches) from the rear corner of the vehicle or about 30
centimeters (11.8 inches) from the rear bumper face. Whenever a park assist audible tone is being
generated, the park assist module sends electronic messages to the radio over the CAN data bus
to mute the audio system. The audible tone will be cancelled after about two seconds if the
detected distance to the obstacle remains constant. See the Park Assist Display Outputs table for
additional details.
The hard wired circuits between components related to the park assist display may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. 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.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the park
assist display or the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices that
provide some features of the park assist system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means
to diagnose the park assist display or the electronic controls and communication related to park
assist display operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

Rear Vision Camera: Description and Operation Rear Camera - Description
DESCRIPTION
The Rear View Camera (RVC) (4) (also known as ParkView(TM)), is a camera on chip device
utilizing Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology. CMOS technology is
used for a wide variety of digital or analog circuits. In this application, it supports the analog image
sensor of the RVC. The RVC function is to provide a wide angle video image of the area behind the
vehicle, including areas that might not be normally visible from the seated position of the vehicle
operator, only while the transaxle gear selector is in the Reverse position. This video image then
displays to the vehicle operator within the display screen of the audio system receiver unit near the
center of the instrument panel.
The RVC is intended to be an auxiliary viewing aid and is not promoted as an obstacle detection or
safety device. It does not remove vehicle operator responsibility to recognize and obey official
traffic laws or regulations or to take sensible precautions and care to avoid pedestrians, other
vehicle traffic or both fixed and moving obstacles through the habitual use of safe and defensive
driving techniques.
The RVC is located on the underside of the light bar (1) mounted above the license plate tub on the
vehicle liftgate. The camera lens is visible just to the left of the vehicle center line, while the body of
the camera and the camera connections are concealed within the light bar above a camera
mounting bracket (3), to which the camera is secured with three screws. The camera mounting
bracket secures to the light bar assembly to the left of the left license plate lamp (2) with two
additional screws. A light bar wire harness routes through a rubber grommet into the interior of the
liftgate where it connects the RVC and both license plate lamps to the vehicle electrical system
through a dedicated take out and connector of the liftgate wire harness.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Collision Avoidance and Parking Assist Systems >
Rear Vision Camera > Component Information > Description and Operation > Rear Camera - Description > Page 8042
The camera image sensor and electronics are sealed and protected within a two-piece die cast
zinc housing (1), held together by four screws (2). The camera lens (5) extends from the lower
surface of the housing and an integral connector receptacle (3) containing five terminal pins that
extends from the right side of the housing. Additionally, there are three mounting bosses (4)
integral to the camera housing, two on the left side and one on the right. The mounting bosses
receive the three self-tapping screws securing the unit to the camera bracket.
Hardwired circuitry connects the RVC to the electrical system of the vehicle. These hardwired
circuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which routes throughout the vehicle and retained by
many different methods. These circuits may be connected to each other and to the vehicle
electrical system through the use of a combination of soldered splices, splice block connectors, and
many different types of wire harness terminal connectors and insulators. 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 RVC cannot be adjusted or repaired. If the RVC is damaged or ineffective, it must be replaced.

Rear Vision Camera: Description and Operation Rear Camera - Operation
OPERATION
The Rear View Camera (RVC) is powered by a battery feed received through the backup lamp
switch output circuit from the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) so that is only active when
the transaxle is shifted into the REVERSE position. In addition, the radio receiver monitors
messages on the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to determine the selected transaxle gear
and overrides any other display to show the RVC video output, whenever it detects that the
transaxle is in REVERSE. A momentary blank video display screen immediately following the
gearshift transition into the REVERSE position is considered normal operation. The camera
electronics receive a path to ground at all times through a takeout and eyelet terminal of the liftgate
wire harness that is secured by a ground screw to the right side of the liftgate inner panel.
The output of the camera is a video signal compatible to the National Television System Committee
(NTSC) standard composite video M format, or NTSC-M. The video signal is delivered to the radio
video display unit through the entire length of the vehicle by camera signal and the camera return
circuits that are arranged as a twisted pair, with an additional grounded foil jacket to protect the
video signal from corruption due to stray radiated signals within the vehicle environment. The
ground shield is terminated only at the video display (radio) end, not at the camera. Portions of
these video signal wires are contained within the liftgate light bar wire harness, the liftgate wire
harness, the body wire harness and a jumper harness located between the radio and the body
harness connector below the instrument panel at the right cowl side inner panel.

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. All switches,
components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and the key
removed from the ignition. 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.

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.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
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.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Driver/Vehicle Information Display > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8084
- 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.
- 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. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
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
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory 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.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8085
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.

Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Description and Operation Liftgate Ajar Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A gate ajar indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located
within the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. The gate ajar indicator
consists of the text GATE, which appears in place of the odometer/trip odometer information in the
odometer VFD unit. However, on vehicles equipped with the optional Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC), an additional International Standards Organization (ISO) symbol for open liftgate is
also provided by the EVIC.
The odometer VFD is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board, and is visible through a
window with a smoked clear lens located on the lower edge of the tachometer gauge dial face of
the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD prevents it from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. The gate ajar indicator appears in the same blue-green color and at the same lighting
level as the odometer/trip odometer information when it is illuminated by the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The gate ajar indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD unit in the instrument cluster.

Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Description and Operation Liftgate Ajar Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The gate ajar indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator that the rear liftgate may be open
or not completely latched. This indicator is controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit based
upon cluster programming and a hardwired input received by the cluster from the liftgate ajar
switch integral to the liftgate latch unit.
The gate ajar indicator function of the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) is completely controlled
by the instrument cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the
instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start)
circuit. Therefore, the VFD gate ajar indication is always off when the ignition switch is in any
position except ON or START. The instrument cluster turns on the gate ajar indicator for the
following reasons:
- Liftgate Ajar Switch Input - Each time the cluster detects ground on the liftgate ajar switch sense
circuit (liftgate ajar switch closed = gate is open or not completely latched) the gate ajar indicator
illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated until the liftgate ajar switch sense input to the cluster
is an open circuit (liftgate ajar switch open = liftgate fully closed), until the cluster has completed an
interior lamps load shed (about five minutes), or until the ignition switch turns to the off position,
whichever occurs first.
The instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN) continually monitors the
liftgate ajar switch to determine the status of the liftgate. For further diagnosis of the liftgate ajar
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the indicator, See: Instrument Panel,
Gauges and Warning Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use conventional diagnostic tools and procedures for the hardwired liftgate ajar switch and circuits
related to gate ajar indicator operation. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Description and Operation No Bus Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A no-bus indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The no-bus indication appears
within the fixed segment odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. The odometer no-bus
indicator consists of a textual No-BUS message that appears in place of the odometer/trip
odometer information.
The odometer VFD is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board and is visible through a
window with a smoked clear lens located at the base of the cluster overlay right gauge dial face,
(Dodge) or the tachometer dial face (Chrysler). The dark lens over the VFD prevents it from being
clearly visible when not illuminated. The no-bus textual message appears in the same blue-green
color and at the same lighting level as the other information displayed in the odometer VFD unit
when illuminated by the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
During daylight hours, (exterior lamps are off) the odometer VFD unit illuminates at full brightness
for clear visibility. At night (exterior lamps are on), the VFD lighting level adjusts with the other
cluster illumination lamps using the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel of the headlamp switch on
the instrument panel. However, a Parade mode position of the thumbwheel allows the VFD unit to
illuminate at full brightness if the exterior lamps are turned on during daylight hours.
The no-bus indicator is serviced as a unit with the odometer VFD unit in the instrument cluster.

Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Description and Operation No Bus Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The no-bus indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the electronic communication
data bus is ineffective. This indicator is controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit based upon
cluster programming and electronic messages not being received over the Controller Area Network
(CAN) data bus from the Front Control Module (FCM).
The no-bus indicator function of the odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit is
completely controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to
operate when the instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch
output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the odometer VFD no-bus indicator is always off when the
ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The instrument cluster turns ON the no bus
indicator for the following reasons:
- No Electronic Communication Messages - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position and the cluster does not receive electronic communication messages over the CAN data
bus, the no-bus indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated until CAN bus
communication is restored or until the ignition switch turns to the OFF position, whichever occurs
first.
The instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN) continually monitors the
CAN data bus to determine the status of many sensors and systems throughout the vehicle. If bus
communication is interrupted, the CCN cannot provide accurate displays and outputs.
Use a diagnostic scan tool is required for proper diagnosis of the no-bus indicator, the CCN, the
CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to no-bus indicator operation. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

window with a smoked clear lens located on the lower edge of the tachometer gauge dial face of
the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD prevents it from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. The no fuse textual message appears in the same blue-green color and at the same
lighting level as the odometer information when it is illuminated by the instrument cluster electronic
circuit board.
The no fuse indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD in the instrument cluster.
No Fuse Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The no-fuse indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the Ignition Off Draw (IOD)
fuse is ineffective or is not installed. This indicator is controlled by the instrument cluster logic
circuit based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received over the Controller Area
Network (CAN) data bus from the Front Control Module (FCM).
The no-fuse indicator function of the odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit is
completely controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to
operate when the instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch
output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the odometer VFD no-fuse indication is always off when the
ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The instrument cluster turns on the no-fuse
indicator for the following reasons:
- No-Fuse indicator lamp-on message - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position
and the cluster receives an electronic no-fuse indicator lamp-on message from the FCM indicating
that the IOD fuse is missing or ineffective, the no-fuse indicator illuminates. The indicator remains
illuminated for about three seconds, until the IOD fuse installs, until the trip odometer reset switch
button pressed or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
The FCM continually monitors the IOD circuit to determine the status of the IOD fuse, then sends
the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab
Compartment Node (CCN) over the CAN data bus.
Use a diagnostic scan tool is required for proper diagnosis of the no-fuse indicator, the FCM, the
CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to no-fuse indicator operation.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
Service 4WD Indicator - Description
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Driver/Vehicle Information Display > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Liftgate Ajar Indicator - Description > Page 8099
DESCRIPTION
A service 4WD indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not
equipped with the optional four-wheel drive system and electronically shifted transfer case, this
indicator is electronically disabled. This indicator is located below the minor gauge set on the left
side of the cluster.
The service 4WD indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text SVC 4WD in the opaque layer
of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from
being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the
cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the
translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is
soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The service 4WD indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
Service 4WD Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The service 4WD indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the Front Control
Module (FCM) has recorded a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for an electronic transfer case
circuit or component malfunction. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument
cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the
cluster from the FCM over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The service 4WD indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED is always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the service 4WD indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the ON position the service 4WD indicator is
illuminated for about two seconds as a bulb test.
- Service 4WD Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic service
4WD indicator lamp-on message from the FCM, the service 4WD indicator illuminates. The
indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the FCM, or until
the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-ON or lamp-off messages from the FCM for
10 seconds, the service 4WD indicator is illuminated by the cluster to indicate a loss of FCM
communication. The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid
message is received from the FCM.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the service 4WD indicator turns on,
then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and
the cluster control circuitry.
The FCM continually monitors the electronic transfer case control circuits and transfer case shift
motor/mode sensor assembly to determine the condition of the system. The FCM then sends the
proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab
Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the service 4WD indicator or the instrument
cluster circuitry that controls the LED, See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning
Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the FCM, the CCN, the CAN data bus or the
electronic communication related to service 4WD indicator operation. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.
Transmission Temperature Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A transmission over-temperature indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This
indicator is located in the center of the speedometer, in the area above and to the right of the
speedometer needle hub.
The transmission over-temperature indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International
Control and Display Symbol icon for Transmission Temperature in the opaque layer of the
instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the
opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer
layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.

The transmission over-temperature indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
Transmission Temperature Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The transmission over-temperature indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the
transmission fluid temperature is excessive, which may lead to accelerated transmission
component wear or failure. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster
circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster
from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The transmission over-temperature indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by
the instrument cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the
instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start)
circuit. Therefore, the LED is always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or
START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster turns on the transmission over-temperature indicator for the
following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the transmission over
temperature indicator is illuminated for about two seconds as a bulb test.
- Trans Over-Temp Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic
transmission over temp indicator lamp-on message from the PCM indicating that the transmission
fluid temperature is 135 °C (275 °F) or higher, the indicator illuminates and a single chime tone is
sounded. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the
PCM, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. The chime
tone feature only repeats during the same ignition cycle if the indicator is cycled off and then on
again by the appropriate lamp-on and lamp-off messages from the PCM.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the transmission over temperature
indicator turns on, then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the
functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the transmission temperature sensor to determine the transmission
operating condition. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the
instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). If the instrument cluster
illuminates the transmission over temperature indicator due to a high transmission oil temperature
condition, it may indicate that the transmission or the transmission cooling system are being
overloaded, or that they require service. For further diagnosis of the transmission over-temperature
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, See: Instrument Panel, Gauges
and Warning Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the transmission temperature sensor, the PCM,
the CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to transmission
over-temperature indicator operation. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Testing and Inspection
ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) data is obtained from several components on the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus circuit. The EVIC will not function properly if the bus
messages from any of these components is not received. If no EVIC data is displayed, check the
CAN data bus circuit communications, the instrument cluster also known as Cab Compartment
Node (CCN) functions and the Integrated Power Module (IPM).
If the problem with the EVIC is an inaccurate or scrambled display, refer to theSELF- DIAGNOSTIC
TEST. If the problem with the EVIC is incorrect Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) dimming levels,
use a scan tool and the proper diagnostic procedures information to test for the correct dimming
message inputs being received from the CCN or TIPM over the CAN data bus circuit. If the
problem is a no-display condition, use the following procedure.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and harness 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. Remove the overhead console from the headliner. See: Body and Frame/Interior Moulding /
Trim/Console/Service and Repair/Overhead Console
- Removal.
2. Inspect the Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse in the IPM. If the IOD fuse is ok and in place, go to 3. If
not ok, repair the open IOD fuse circuit as
required.
3. Check for battery voltage at the overhead console electrical connector. If ok, go to 4. If not ok,
check for battery voltage at the appropriate B(+)
fuse in the IPM. Repair the open fused B(+) circuit as required.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Check the fused ignition switch output circuit(s) at the
overhead console electrical connector. If ok, go
to 5. If not ok, repair the open or shorted circuit as required.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit
cavity of the overhead console electrical connector and a good ground. There should be continuity.
If ok, refer to theSELF- DIAGNOSTIC TEST for further diagnosis of the EVIC module and the CAN
data bus circuit. If not ok, repair the open ground circuit as required.
SELF- DIAGNOSTIC TEST
NOTE: The EVIC Self-Test can also be performed using a scan tool. Navigate to the Auto Self-Test
screen under System Tests of the scan tool
and initiate the EVIC Self-Test.
A self-diagnostic test is used to determine that the EVIC is operating properly electrically. Initiate
the self-diagnostic test as follows:
1. With the ignition switch in the Off position, simultaneously press and hold the STEP and RESET
buttons while rotating the ignition switch to the
Run/On position.
2. Continue to hold both buttons pressed until the EVIC enters the display segment test. In this test,
all of the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD)
segments are lighted while the EVIC performs the following checks: Non-Volatile Memory Status (NVM)
- RAM Status
- ROM Status
- ASIC Communication Status
- Compass Status
- DC Status
- CAN Data Bus Communications Status
NOTE: If the EVIC module is equipped with the universal transmitter (also known as HomeLink(R)),
the module also checks HomeLink(R)
communication test status.
3. Following completion of these tests, the EVIC displays one of two messages: "Self Test: FAIL" or
"Self Test: PASS." In addition to the
FAIL/PASS message the EVIC displays the current software version (SW V xx.xx.xxx) below the
FAIL/PASS info. Press the RESET or STEP button to exit and enter normal mode. Respond to
these test results as follows: If no test result message displays, but EVIC operation is still improper, Use a scan tool and the
proper diagnostic procedures information are required for further diagnosis.
- If the "Self Test: FAIL" message displays, the EVIC is inoperative and must be replaced.
- If the "Self Test: PASS" message displays, the EVIC is ok, no faults are present.
- If any VFD segment does not light during the display segment test, the EVIC is inoperative and
must be replaced.
If the first seven tests pass, the EVIC verifies that all the required CAN bus messages are present
on the CAN bus. If all required messages are present on the CAN bus, the EVIC automatically
returns to normal operation after sixty seconds. The EVIC can also be returned to normal operation
anytime during the test by pressing the STEP, C/T, RESET or US/M buttons.
NOTE: Pressing the STEP or RESET buttons during any portion of the EVIC Self - Diagnostic Test
procedure causes the EVIC to exit diagnostics

and return to compass/temperature mode.
NOTE: If the compass functions, but accuracy is suspect, it may be necessary to perform a
variance adjustment. This procedure allows the
compass unit to accommodate variations in the earths magnetic field strength based on geographic
location.
NOTE: If the compass reading blanks out, and only "CAL" appears in the display, demagnetizing
may be necessary to remove excessive
residual magnetic fields from the vehicle. Check for stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and
follow the proper diagnostic procedures information as needed.

MANUAL COMPASS CALIBRATION
CAUTION: Do not place any external magnets, such as magnetic roof mount antennas, in the
vicinity of the overhead console. Do not use
magnetic tools when servicing the overhead console.
NOTE: Whenever the compass is calibrated manually, the variance number must also be reset.
See: for the appropriate procedure.
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 the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) displays "CAL", perform the following manual
calibration procedure. Also, any time EVIC service replacement components are installed, they
must be 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.
Calibrate the compass manually as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the On/Run position. Press and release the MENU push button (1)
until "Personal Settings" is displayed. 2. Press the STEP push button (2) until "Calibrate Compass
YES" is displayed. 3. Momentarily depress and release the RESET push button (4) to initiate the
calibration procedure. The message "CAL will appear in the
Compass/Temperature display.
4. Slowly drive the vehicle on a level surface, away from large metal objects and power lines,
through one or two complete circles not exceeding 8
km/h (5 mph). The "CAL" message will disappear from the display to indicate that the compass is
now calibrated.
NOTE: A blank compass display indicates that vehicle degaussing (demagnetizing) may be
necessary.
NOTE: If the "CAL" message remains in the display, either there is excessive magnetism near the
compass, or the EVIC is inoperative.
Attempt the calibration procedure at least one more time before performing EVIC diagnosis.
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 manual calibration procedure in another location.

COMPASS VARIANCE ADJUSTMENT
Variance Settings Map
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 must be set.
NOTE: If the vehicle is taken on long trips into a new variance zone the compass function may be
effected. Compass variance may need to be
adjusted to the new zone number to function properly.
NOTE: The default for the compass variance from the factory is 8.
To set the compass variance:

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.
To demagnetize the roof panel proceed as follows:
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. 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, See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and
Warning Indicators/Compass/Adjustments/Compass

DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) module is sometimes referred to as the
Electronic Overhead Module (EOM) for
the purposes of scan tool and diagnostic information naming. Please treat the EVIC and EOM as
one and the same when diagnosing the vehicle.
The HomeLink(R) transceiver is integral to the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
module located in the overhead console. The only visible component of the HomeLink(R)
transceiver are the three transmitter push buttons (3). The buttons are marked with one, two or
three dots, respectively, for identification of each channel.
Each of the three HomeLink(R) transceiver push buttons controls an independent radio transceiver
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 HomeLink(R) transceiver
is capable of operating systems using either rolling code or non-rolling code technology.
The HomeLink(R) transceiver cannot be repaired, and is available for service only as part of the
EVIC module. This unit includes the push button switches for both the transceiver (3) and EVIC (1,
2, 4 and 5) as well as the vacuum-fluorescent display (6) and the plastic module case. See:
Driver/Vehicle Information Display/Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement/Electronic
Vehicle Information Center - Removal for replacement procedure.

Garage Door Opener Transmitter: Description and Operation Universal Transmitter - Operation
OPERATION
The HomeLink(R) transceiver receives battery feed through the Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse circuit
of the vehicle. It operates on a non-switched source of battery current so the unit will remain
functional, regardless of the ignition switch position. It can learn and store three separate
transceiver radio frequency codes to operate garage door openers, security gates and security
lighting. The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) display provides visual feedback to the
driver, showing which transceiver button is pressed. The system will not send operating signals if
the vehicle theft security alarm is armed. This prevents a perpetrator from breaking into a vehicle
parked outside a home and using the HomeLink(R) transceiver system to enter the home.

Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) is operating normally, See: Programming and Relearning for
instructions on training the HomeLink(R) transceiver. Retrain the HomeLink(R) transceiver with a
known good hand held transmitter as instructed and test the HomeLink(R) transceiver operation
again. If the unit is still inoperative, test it with the radio frequency detector special tool 9001 as
described below:
1. Press the power button (3) and turn the Radio Frequency (RF) detector on. A "chirp" will sound
and the green power Light Emitting Diode (LED)
indicator will light (2). If the green LED does not light, replace the battery (4).
2. Hold the RF detector within one inch of the TRAINED HomeLink(R) transceiver and press any of
the transceiver buttons. 3. The red signal detection LEDs (1) lights and the tool beeps if a radio
signal is detected. Repeat this test for each button. If any button is
inoperative, replace the EVIC module.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire harness 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.

Garage Door Opener Transmitter: Programming and Relearning
Programming Homelink(R) Transceiver Codes
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK(R) TRANSCEIVER CODES
Programming Common HomeLink(R) Transmitter Codes
WARNING: Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run the vehicle's
exhaust while training the transceiver.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
WARNING: Your motorized door or gate may open and close while you are training the
HomeLink(R) Transceiver if the vehicle is in range of
the motorized device. Do not train the HomeLink(R) transceiver if people or pets are in the path of
the door or gate. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
NOTE: When programming a garage door opener, it is advised to park outside the garage. It is also
recommended that a new battery be
placed in the hand held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink(R) for quicker
training and accurate transmission of the radio frequency signal.
NOTE: If programing the HomeLink(R) transceiver is unsuccessful using the following procedure,
Refer to the current customer assistance
phone number.
- Press and hold the two outer HomeLink(R) transceiver buttons, the EVIC will display "CLEARING
CHANNELS" , do not release the buttons until "CHANNELS CLEARED" is displayed on the EVIC
(after approximately 20 seconds). Do not hold the buttons for longer than 30 seconds and do not
repeat step one to program a second and/or third hand held transmitter to the remaining two
HomeLink(R) transceiver buttons. The HomeLink(R) transceiver is now in the train (or learning)
mode
- Position the end of your hand held transmitter 3-8 cm (1-3 inches) away from the HomeLink(R)
transceiver buttons while keeping the EVIC display in view.
- Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink(R) transceiver button that you want to train
and the hand held transmitter button. Do not release the buttons until step 4 has been completed.
The EVIC will display "CHANNEL X TRAINING", once the HomeLink(R) transceiver is programmed
the EVIC will display "CHANNEL X TRAINED". X refers to the desired channel being trained (1,2 or
3).NOTE: Some gate operators and garage door openers may require you to replace this
Programming Step 3 with procedures noted in the Gate Operator/Canadian Programming section.
- Once "CHANNEL X TRAINED" is displayed on the EVIC, release both buttons. Programming is
now complete. When the HomeLink(R) transceiver button is subsequently pressed, "CHANNEL X
TRANSMIT" is displayed on the EVIC and your device should be activated, (garage door should
open).NOTE: To program the remaining two buttons, begin with "Programming" step 2. Do not
repeat step 1. If the EVIC display shows "CHANNEL X TRANSMIT" (where X is channel 1,2 or 3)
but your device does not activate, the device may be equipped with a rolling code system.
Continue with the following steps five through seven to complete the programming of a rolling code
equipped device (most commonly a garage door opener manufactured after 1995). The assistance
of a second person may make the following programming steps quicker and easier.
- At the garage door opener receiver (motor head unit) in the garage, locate the "learn" or "smart"
button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor head
unit.
- Firmly press and release the "learn" or "smart" button. (The name and color of the button may
vary by manufacturer.)NOTE: There are 30 seconds in which to initiate step 8.
- Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold for two seconds then release the programmed
HomeLink(R) transceiver button. Repeat the "press/hold/release" sequence a second time, and,
depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped device), repeat
this sequence a third time to complete the programming. The HomeLink(R) transceiver should now
activate your rolling code equipped device.
NOTE: To program the remaining two HomeLink(R) transceiver buttons, begin with "Programming"
step 2. Do not repeat step 1.
Canadian Programming/Gate Programming
Canadian radio frequency laws require transmitter signals to "time-out" (or quit) after several
seconds of transmission which may not be long enough for the HomeLink(R) transceiver to pick up
the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are
designed to "time-out" in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a gate operator by using the
"Programming" procedures (regardless of where you live), replace programming common
HomeLink(R) transceiver codes step 3 with the following:
NOTE: When programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is advised to unplug the
device or move the vehicle out of range during
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Garage Door Opener Transmitter > Component
Information > Testing and Inspection > Component Tests and General Diagnostics > Page 8159
the "cycling" process to prevent possible overheating.
- 3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink(R) transceiver button while you press and release
every two seconds ("cycle") your hand held transmitter until the frequency signal has successfully
been accepted. The EVIC will display "CHANNEL X TRAINING" and then "CHANNEL X
TRAINED". Proceed with "Programming" step 4 to complete.
Erasing Homelink(R) Transceiver Codes
ERASING HOMELINK(R) TRANSCEIVER CODES
NOTE: Individual channels cannot be erased. Erasing the HomeLink(R) transceiver codes will
erase ALL programmed codes.
To erase programming from all three buttons (individual buttons cannot be erased but can be
"reprogrammed"), follow the step noted:
- Press and hold the two outer HomeLink(R) transceiver buttons until the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC) displays "CLEARING CHANNELS" , do not release the buttons until
"CHANNELS CLEARED" is displayed on the EVIC (after approximately 20 seconds). Release both
buttons. Do not hold for longer that 30 seconds. HomeLink(R) is now in the train (or learning) mode
and can be programmed at any time beginning with "Programming" See: .

equipped device (most commonly a garage door opener manufactured after 1995). The assistance
of a second person may make the following programming steps quicker and easier.
- At the garage door opener receiver (motor head unit) in the garage, locate the "learn" or "smart"
button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor head
unit.
- Firmly press and release the "learn" or "smart" button. (The name and color of the button may
vary by manufacturer.)NOTE: There are 30 seconds in which to initiate step 7.
- Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold for two seconds, then release the reprogrammed
HomeLink(R) transceiver button. Repeat the "press/hold/release" sequence a second time, and,
depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped device), repeat
this sequence a third time to complete the reprogramming. The HomeLink(R) transceiver should
now activate your rolling code equipped device.

Canadian radio frequencies require transmitter signals to "time-out" (or quit) after several seconds
of transmission which may not be long enough for the HomeLink(R) transceiver to pick up the
signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to
"time-out" in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a gate operator by using the
"Programming" procedures (regardless of where you live), replace programming common
homeLink(R) transceiver codes step 3 with the following:
NOTE: When programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is advised to unplug the
device or move the vehicle out of range during
the "cycling" process to prevent possible overheating.
- 3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink(R) transceiver button while you press and release
every two seconds ("cycle") your hand held transmitter until the frequency signal has successfully
been accepted. The EVIC will display "CHANNEL X TRAINING" and then "CHANNEL X
TRAINED". Proceed with "Programming" step 4 to complete.

DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The scan tool standardization process must be performed on the Memory Seat Module
(MSM) any time a new module is installed or
the existing module is reflashed.
The Memory Seat Module (MSM) is located underneath the driver seat, towards the front and on
the outboard side. It is used in conjunction with the other modules in the memory system See:
Memory Seat Module - Operation to recall the seat to one of two preset seat functional adjustments
(horizontal, vertical, and recliner). The switch for the memory seat programming and selection
mounts on the driver door trim panel. The MSM also controls the adjustable pedals, both for the
memory and manual functionality. The adjustable accelerator and brake pedals are available on
SLT and Limited models. On Limited, their positioning can be stored for recall by the memory
system, allowing for two drivers to have unique, pre-programmed settings.

Memory Positioning Module: Description and Operation Memory Seat Module - Operation
OPERATION
POWER/MEMORY SEAT
The memory seat module receives input from the 8-way power seat switch, the driver seat position
sensors, adjustable pedal control circuits (switch, sensor, and motor), and the data bus circuit. The
memory switch, is wired to the memory mirror module which sends the message over the data bus.
The memory seat module performs the following functions:
- Positions the driver seat (vertical, horizontal, and recliner positions) and adjustable pedals.
- Sends the memory save or recall (#1 or #2) command over the data bus circuit to the memory
mirror modules, HVAC, and radio.
- Provides for "linking" the key FOBs to memory.
- Provides for the easy entry/exit feature.
- Provides the tilt mirrors in reverse feature
When a memory button is pressed (#1 or #2) on the memory switch, the driver door memory mirror
module sends a recall message to the memory seat module (MSM). Then the MSM will position the
driver seat and adjustable pedals to its preprogrammed location/setting. When the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) Transmitter button is pressed, depending on which transmitter (#1 or #2), the
SKREEM (RKE Receiver) sends the recall request and FOB number (#1 or #2) data message. This
RKE transmitter function depends on if the MSM is programmed to trigger the recall (linked FOBs).
A memory setting is saved by pressing the "set" button, then pressing either the memory "1" or "2"
button within 5 seconds of pressing the "set" button.
A memory setting is recalled by pressing either the memory "1" or "2" button, or by pressing the
unlock button on a "linked" Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
For driver safety, memorized settings can not be recalled if the transmission is in any position other
than park or the seat belt is latched.
A key FOB is "linked" to a memory setting by pressing the "set" button and then pressing either the
memory "1" or "2" button within 5 seconds of pressing the set button, then by pressing the "lock"
button on the selected key FOB.
The memory system "Easy Entry and /Exit" feature provides the driver with more room to enter or
exit the vehicle. The Easy Entry and Exit feature is disabled when the vehicle leaves the factory. An
authorized dealer can enable this feature. When the seat is in a memorized position, it will move
rearward 55 millimeters or to the end of its travel, whichever occurs first, when the key is removed
from the ignition switch lock cylinder. The seat will return to the memory position when the driver
turns the vehicle's ignition switch out of the LOCK position.
The memory system "learns" the seat and adjustable pedal motor maximum end positions when
the motor reaches the limit of travel in any direction and stalls. Subsequently, movement will stop
just short of that position to avoid extra stress on the motors and mechanisms. If the system
learned a maximum position as a result of an obstruction, as for instance if a large object was
placed on the floor behind the seat, the system can relearn the "true" maximum position through
manually operating the power seat after the obstruction is removed.
NOTE: It is normal for the power accessories contained in the memory system to stop at the
maximum "learned" position and then continue
to the "true" maximum position when the control switch is released and then applied in the same
direction a second time.
Certain functions and features of the memory system rely upon resources shared with other
electronic modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. The CAN bus 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. For
diagnosis of these electronic modules or of the CAN bus, the use of a scan tool and the proper
diagnostic information are needed.
The tilt mirrors in reverse feature provides for tilting the sideview (outside) mirrors down a
predetermined angle, providing a better view of the ground next to the rear portion of the vehicle.
The tilt mirrors in reverse feature is disabled when the vehicle leaves the factory. An authorized
dealer can enable this feature. Operation of the tilt mirrors is as follows:
- Sideview mirrors will tilt down when the vehicle transmission is shifted into Reverse.
- Sideview mirrors will return to the original position when the vehicle transmission is shifted out of
Reverse.
ADJUSTABLE PEDALS
The pedals swing on a large arc, the radius and angle of which were selected on the basis of
ergonomic studies, that puts them in the proper position for use by the smaller driver - higher and
angled upward as well as rearward. Powered by the small electric motor driving a gear train at
each pedal, adjustment is precise, quiet, and smooth throughout the range. A paddle-type switch
on the instrument panel to the left of the steering column actuates the electric motor-driven
mechanism through the memory seat module (MSM). Pushing up the paddle brings the pedals
closer and vice versa. Movement

stops when the switch is released. MSM logic prevents pedal adjustment when the automatic
speed control (cruise control) is set (controlling speed), and when the transmission is in reverse.
This feature protects against a loss of reference position when neither foot is on the pedal.

Pedal Positioning Motor: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The Adjustable Pedal Assembly can be serviced in four sub-components, Brake Pedal
Assy, Accelerator Pedal Assy including the
Accelerator Pedal and drive motor, (3) Drive Cable between the two pedals, (1) Bracket housing
(2).
NOTE: When replacing the components both pedal assemblies must be in the fully down position
toward the floor for proper adjustment,
Pedals can be moved manually by rotating the cable on the component not being replaced. New
components come in the correct position until activated.
The Adjustable Pedals System (APS) is designed to enable the fore and aft repositioning of the
brake and accelerator pedals. This results in improved ergonomics in relation to the steering wheel
for taller and shorter drivers. Being able to adjust the pedal positions also allows the driver to set
steering wheel tilt and seat position to the most comfortable position. The position of the brake and
accelerator pedals can be adjusted without compromising safety or comfort in actuating the pedals.
Change of pedal position is accomplished by means of a motor driven screw. Operating the
adjustable pedal switch activates the pedal drive motor located on the accelerator pedal assembly.
The pedal drive motor turns a screw that changes the position of the brake and accelerator pedals
simultaneously through a drive motor. The pedal can be moved rearward (closer to the driver) or
forward (away from driver). The accelerator pedal is moved by way of the drive cable to a position
where the driver feels most comfortable.
The accelerator pedal is moved at the same time and the same distance as the brake pedal.
Neither the pedal drive motor nor drive mechanism are subject to the mechanical stress of brake or
accelerator application.
- SYSTEM FEATURES:
- Range of Adjustment: The pedals may be adjusted up to 3 in. (75 mm)
- Pedal Adjustment Speed: 0.5 in./sec (12.5 mm/sec)
- Pedal Adjustment Inhibitors: Pedal adjustment is inhibited when the vehicle is in reverse or when
cruise control is activated.

Radio/Stereo Noise Filter: Description and Operation Radio Noise Suppression - Description
DESCRIPTION
Radio noise suppression devices are installed on this vehicle. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
and ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) can be produced by any on-board or external source of
electromagnetic energy. These electromagnetic energy sources can radiate electromagnetic
signals through the air, or conduct them through the vehicle electrical system.
When the audio system converts RFI or EMI to an audible acoustic wave form, it is referred to as
radio noise. This undesirable radio noise is generally manifested in the form of "buzzing," "hissing,"
"popping," "clicking," "crackling," and/or "whirring" sounds. In most cases, RFI and EMI radio noise
can be suppressed using a combination of vehicle and component grounding, filtering and
shielding techniques. This vehicle is equipped with radio noise suppression devices that were
designed to minimize exposure to typical sources of RFI and EMI; thereby, minimizing radio noise
complaints.
Radio noise suppression is accomplished primarily through circuitry or devices that are integral to
the radios, audio power amplifiers and other on-board electrical components such as generators,
wiper motors, blower motors, and fuel pumps that have been found to be potential sources of RFI
or EMI. External radio noise suppression devices that are used on this vehicle to control RFI or
EMI, and can be serviced, include the following:
- Engine-to-frame ground strap - This length of braided ground strap has an eyelet terminal
connector crimped to each end. One end is secured to the engine cylinder heads. The other is
secured to the frame.
- Resistor-type spark plugs - This type of spark plug has an internal resistor connected in series
between the spark plug terminal and the center electrode to help reduce the production of
electromagnetic radiation that can result in radio noise.
- Exhaust-to-frame ground strap - This length of braided ground strap has an eyelet terminal
connector crimped to each end. One end is secured to the exhaust pipe. The other is secured to
the frame.

Radio/Stereo Noise Filter: Description and Operation Radio Noise Suppression - Operation
OPERATION
There are two common strategies that can be used to suppress Radio Frequency Interference
(RFI) and Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) radio noise. The first suppression strategy involves
preventing the production of RFI and EMI electromagnetic signals at their sources. The second
suppression strategy involves preventing the reception of RFI and EMI electromagnetic signals by
the audio system components.
The use of braided ground straps in key locations is part of the RFI and EMI prevention strategy.
These ground straps ensure adequate ground paths, particularly for high current components such
as many of those found in the starting, charging, ignition, engine control and transmission control
systems. An insufficient ground path for any of these high current components may result in radio
noise caused by induced voltages created as the high current seeks alternative ground paths
through components or circuits intended for use by, or in close proximity to the audio system
components or circuits.
Preventing the reception of RFI and EMI is accomplished by ensuring that the audio system
components are correctly installed in the vehicle. Loose, corroded or improperly soldered wire
harness connections, improperly routed wiring and inadequate audio system component grounding
can all contribute to the reception of RFI and EMI. A properly grounded antenna body and radio
chassis, as well as a shielded antenna coaxial cable with clean and tight connections will each help
reduce the potential for reception of RFI and EMI.

Remote Switch: Description and Operation Remote Radio Switches - Operation
OPERATION
The six switches in the two remote radio switch units are normally open, resistor multiplexed
momentary switches that are hard wired to the Instrument cluster through the clockspring. The
instrument cluster sends a five volt reference signal to both switch units on one circuit, and senses
the status of all of the switches by reading the voltage drop on a second circuit.
When the instrument cluster senses an input (voltage drop) from any one of the remote radio
switches, it sends the proper switch status messages on the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus to the radio. The electronic circuitry within the radio is programmed to respond to these remote
radio switch status messages by adjusting the radio settings as requested.

SPEAKER
Any diagnosis of the Audio system should begin with the use of a scan tool and the appropriate
Diagnostic Service information.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
WARNING: Disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, seat
belt tensioner, side airbag or instrument
panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground) cable.
Wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis
or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in accidental airbag deployment and possible serious or fatal injury.
CAUTION: The speaker output of the radio is a "floating ground" system. Do not allow any speaker
lead to short to ground, as damage to the
radio may result.
1. If all speakers are inoperative, check the radio fuses in the junction block. If OK, go to Step 2. If
not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component
as required and replace the faulty fuse.
2. Check the amplifier fuse (if equipped) in the junction block. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, repair
the shorted circuit or component as required and
replace the faulty fuse.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Turn the radio receiver ON. Adjust the balance and
fader control controls to check the performance of
each individual speaker. Note the speaker locations that are not performing correctly. Go to Step 4.
4. Turn the radio OFF. Turn the ignition OFF. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. If
vehicle is not equipped with a amplifier, remove
the radio receiver. If the vehicle is equipped with an amplifier, disconnect the wire harness
connectors. There are two connectors. The one on the body harness has body speakers only. The
other on the instrument panel harness has the instrument panel speakers, battery, ground, and
CAN. Go to Step 5.
5. Check both the speaker feed (+) circuit and return (-) circuit cavities for the inoperative speaker
at the wire harness connector for continuity to
ground. There should be no continuity. If OK, go to Step 6. If not OK, repair the shorted speaker
feed (+) and/or return (-) circuits(s) to the speaker as required.

DESCRIPTION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (1) is sometimes referred to as the Wireless
Control Module (WCM), and is also known as the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM). The
SKREEM is the primary component of the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS). It is also the
receiver for the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system. The SKREEM is located on the right side of
the steering column, near the ignition lock cylinder housing and is concealed beneath the steering
column shrouds. The molded black plastic housing for the SKREEM has an integral molded plastic
halo-like antenna ring (4) that extends from the bottom. When the SKREEM is properly installed on
the steering column, the antenna ring is oriented around the circumference of the ignition lock
cylinder housing.
A single integral connector receptacle (3) is located just behind the antenna ring on the bottom of
the SKREEM housing. An integral molded plastic mounting tab (2) on the rear corner of the
SKREEM housing has a hole in the center through which a screw passes to secure the unit to the
steering column. The SKREEM is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a single take
out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
Several unique SKREEM modules are used: one for vehicles equipped with RKE only, one for
vehicles equipped with RKE and SKIS, and another version has an additional coaxial connector
receptacle that allows it to receive inputs from the optional remote start antenna module. The
SKREEM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the entire SKREEM unit must
be replaced.

Alarm Module: Description and Operation Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKREEM) - Operation
OPERATION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as the Sentry Key Immobilizer
Module/SKIM or the Wireless Control Module/WCM) contains a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver
and a microprocessor. The SKREEM transmits RF signals to, and receives RF signals from the
Sentry Key transponder through a tuned antenna enclosed within the molded plastic antenna ring
integral to the SKREEM housing. If this antenna ring is not mounted properly around the ignition
lock cylinder housing, communication problems between the SKREEM and the transponder may
arise. These communication problems will result in Sentry Key transponder-related faults.
The SKREEM also serves as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) RF receiver and may receive RF
inputs either directly through an internal antenna from the RKE key fob transmitter or, on vehicles
equipped with an optional remote start system, indirectly through the external remote start antenna
module. See: Body and Frame/Locks/Power Locks/Description and Operation/Power Locks Description. The SKREEM communicates over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus with
the Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN), the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), or the diagnostic scan tool.
The SKREEM and the PCM both use software that includes a rolling code algorithm strategy,
which helps to reduce the possibility of unauthorized Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS)
disarming. The rolling code algorithm ensures security by preventing an override of the SKIS
through the unauthorized substitution of the SKREEM or the PCM. However, the use of this
strategy also means that replacement of either the SKREEM or the PCM units will require a system
initialization procedure to restore system operation.
The SKREEM retains in memory the ID numbers of any Sentry Key transponder that is
programmed into it. A maximum of eight Sentry Key transponders can be programmed into the
SKREEM. For added system security, each SKREEM is programmed with a unique Secret Key
code. This code is stored in memory, sent over the CAN data bus to the PCM, and is encoded to
the transponder of every Sentry Key that is programmed into the SKREEM. Therefore, the Secret
Key code is a common element that is found in every component of the SKIS.
Another security code, called a PIN, is used to gain access to the SKREEM Secured Access Mode.
The Secured Access Mode is required during service to perform the SKIS initialization and Sentry
Key transponder programming procedures. The SKREEM also stores the Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN) in its memory, which it learns through a CAN data bus message from the PCM
during SKIS initialization.
In the event that a SKREEM replacement is required, the Secret Key code can be transferred to
the new SKREEM from the PCM using the diagnostic scan tool and the SKIS initialization
procedure. Proper completion of the SKIS initialization will allow the existing Sentry Keys to be
programmed into the new SKREEM so that new keys will not be required. In the event that the
original Secret Key code cannot be recovered, SKREEM replacement will also require new Sentry
Keys. The diagnostic scan tool will alert the technician during the SKIS initialization procedure if
new Sentry Keys are required.
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the SKREEM transmits an RF signal to excite
the transponder in the ignition key. The SKREEM then waits for an RF signal response from the
transponder. If the response received identifies the key as valid, the SKREEM sends an electronic
valid key message to the PCM over the CAN data bus. If the response received identifies the key
as invalid or if no response is received from the key transponder, the SKREEM sends an invalid
key message to the PCM. The PCM will enable or disable engine operation based upon the status
of the SKREEM messages. It is important to note that the default condition in the PCM is an invalid
key; therefore, if no message is received from the SKREEM by the PCM, the engine will be
disabled and the vehicle immobilized after two seconds of running.
The SKREEM also sends electronic security indicator request messages to the EMIC over the CAN
data bus to tell the EMIC how to operate the security indicator. The security indicator request
message from the SKREEM tells the EMIC to turn the indicator ON for about three seconds each
time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position as a bulb test. After completion of the bulb test,
the SKREEM sends security indicator request messages to the EMIC to turn the indicator OFF,
turn the indicator ON, or to flash the indicator ON and OFF. If the security indicator flashes or stays
ON solid after the bulb test, it signifies a SKIS fault. If the SKREEM detects a system malfunction
or if the SKIS has become ineffective, the security indicator will stay ON solid. If the SKREEM
detects an invalid key or if a key transponder-related fault exists, the security indicator will flash. If
the vehicle is equipped with the Customer Learn transponder programming feature, the SKREEM
will also send messages to the EMIC to flash the security indicator whenever the Customer Learn
programming mode is being utilized. See: Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Service and Repair.
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, and will
store fault information in the form of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in SKREEM memory if a
system malfunction is detected. The hard wired circuits of the SKREEM may be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the
SKREEM or the electronic controls or communication between other modules and devices that
provide some features of the SKIS. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
the SKREEM or the electronic controls and communication related to SKREEM operation requires
the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Keyless Entry Module: Testing and Inspection
SKREEM PROGRAMMING
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a gasoline engine, or an Engine Control Module
(ECM) for a diesel engine and the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as the
Wireless Control Module/WCM) on vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
NOTE: If the PCM and the SKREEM are replaced at the same time, program the PCM VIN into the
PCM first.
1. If applicable first replace the PCM/ECM with the original WCM still connected to the vehicle. 2.
Using the appropriate service information program the new PCM/ECM. (This will ensure the Secret
Key Transfer from the original WCM into the
new PCM/ECM).
3. Now replace and program the WCM. This will retain the Secret Key from the PCM/ECM back
into the new WCM. 4. With the scan tool, select Miscellaneous Functions, WCM/Wireless Control
Module. Then select the desired procedure and follow the display on
the scan tool.
5. If the vehicle is equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System program the Placard Pressure
Values into the WCM/SKREEM. 6. Ensure all the customer's keys have been programmed into the
new module if necessary.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly,
programming new keys will be necessary.
PROGRAMMING THE SKREEM
The SKIS Secret Key is an ID code that is unique to each SKREEM/WCM. This code is
programmed and stored in the SKREEM/WCM, the PCM/ECM, and each ignition key transponder
chip. When the PCM/ECM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret
Key into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in
the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED, ECM REPLACED, WCM REPLACED, or
GATEWAY REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL
MODULE/WCM menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Programming the PCM/ECM or SKREEM is done using a diagnostic scan tool and a PIN to
enter secure access mode. If three
attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an incorrect PIN, secure access mode will
be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn the ignition to the RUN position for one
hour then enter the correct PIN. Be certain that all accessories are turned OFF. Also monitor the
battery state and connect a battery charger if necessary.
NOTE: Before replacing the ECU 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 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.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When a ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM 3. Replace all ignition keys and program them
to the new SKIM.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When an ECM (Bosch) and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in
order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM (Bosch) 3. Replace all ignition keys and
program them to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING THE SKIM
CAUTION: Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle. 2. Connect the StarSCAN(R).
CAUTION: If the ECM/PCM and SKREEM/WCM are replaced at the same time, the ECM/PCM
MUST be programmed before the
SKREEM/WCM.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Relays and Modules - Accessories and Optional
Equipment > Keyless Entry Module > Component Information > Locations > Page 8315
3. Select "ECU View". 4. Select "WCM Wireless Control Module". 5. Select "Miscellaneous
Functions". 6. Select WCM replaced. 7. Enter the PIN when prompted. 8. Verify the correct
information.
NOTE: If the ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time, all vehicle keys will need to be
replaced and programmed to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE/WCM menu item.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly,
programming new keys will be necessary.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret
Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
PROGRAMMING NOT ATTEMPTED - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status
and there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- PROGRAMMING KEY FAILED (POSSIBLE USED KEY FROM WRONG VEHICLE) - SKREEM is
unable to program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is ineffective.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.
- 8 KEYS ALREADY LEARNED, PROGRAMMING NOT DONE - The SKREEM transponder ID
memory is full.
- LEARNED KEY IN IGNITION - The ID for the ignition key transponder currently in the ignition lock
cylinder is already programmed into SKREEM memory.

tabs (2) integral to the module housing to the left inner quarter panel above the left rear wheel
housing. The module is concealed beneath the quarter inner trim panel. Concealed within the
molded plastic park assist module housing is a microprocessor and the other electronic circuitry of
the module. The module housing is sealed to enclose and protect the internal electronic circuitry.
The module software is flash programmable.
Two connector receptacles (1) containing terminal pins are integral to the rearward-facing side of
the housing. The module is connected to the vehicle electrical system through two dedicated take
outs and connectors of the body wire harness.
The park assist module cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if damaged or ineffective, it must be
replaced.

Equipment > Parking Assist Control Module > Component Information > Description and Operation > Park Assist Module Description > Page 8324
Parking Assist Control Module: Description and Operation Park Assist Module - Operation
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the park assist module contains the park assist system logic circuits. The
module uses On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can communicate with other electronic modules in
the vehicle as well as with the diagnostic scan tool using the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus. This method of communication is also used for park assist system diagnosis and testing
through the 16-way data link connector located on the driver side lower edge of the instrument
panel.
The module provides voltage to the four park assist sensors located behind the rear bumper fascia
and to the park assist display located in the headliner just forward of the liftgate opening header.
The module then monitors return inputs from each of the sensors and the display on dedicated
hard wired data communication circuits. The sensor inputs allow the module to determine when an
obstacle is in the rear path of the vehicle and enables the module to calculate the relative location
of the obstacle, and whether the distance to that obstacle is increasing or decreasing.
Pre-programmed decision algorithms and calibrations allow the module microprocessor to
determine the appropriate park assist system outputs based upon the inputs received from the park
assist sensors and electronic messages received from other modules in the vehicle over the CAN
data bus. When the programmed conditions are met the module sends electronic messages to the
park assist displays over a dedicated serial bus to obtain the proper park assist system visual and
audible outputs. The module also broadcasts electronic messages over the CAN data bus to
enable the other electronic features of the park assist system.
The park assist module microprocessor continuously monitors all of the park assist system
electrical circuits and components to determine the system readiness. If the module detects a
monitored system fault, it sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and sends the appropriate
electronic messages to the instrument cluster over the CAN data bus to control operation of certain
park assist system audible warnings and textual messages displayed in the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC).
The park assist module receives battery current on a fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit
through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB). The module receives ground through a ground circuit and
take out of the body wire harness. These connections allow the module to be operational whenever
the ignition switch is in the START or ON positions.
The hard wired circuits between components related to the park assist module may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. 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.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the park
assist module or the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices that
provide some features of the park assist system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means
to diagnose the park assist module or the electronic controls and communication related to park
assist module operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

Hood Sensor/Switch (For Alarm): Description and Operation Vehicle Theft Security Hood Ajar
Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The hood ajar switch is a normally closed, single pole, spring-loaded plunger actuated switch. This
switch has two unique versions that are used in three different applications. One switch is used
only on vehicles equipped with the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) system for sale in certain export
markets where protection of the underhood area is required equipment. The second switch is used
only on domestic market vehicles equipped with either an optional remote starter system or the
optional Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system.
The molded plastic switch body (5) has an integral molded connector receptacle (1) on the lower
end containing two terminal pins. The switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
dedicated take out of the headlamp and dash wire harness. Two integral latches (2) lock the switch
into a keyed mounting hole. For the vehicle theft and remote start applications, the switch is
secured within the stamped metal inner left fender mounting flange within the engine compartment.
For the HEV applications, the switch is secured within the stamped metal inner right fender
mounting flange within the engine compartment. A molded plastic striker secured to the underside
of the hood panel inner reinforcement actuates the switch plunger as the hood panel is closed.
The switch plunger (3) extends through a mounting collar (4) and a sleeve-like retainer ring on the
upper end of the switch body. The retainer ring has a one time, self-adjustment feature that is
activated after the switch is installed by closing the hood. The retainer ring is also color-coded to
aid in identifying the switch application. A dark brown retainer ring identifies the underhood security
switch application, while a white retainer ring identifies the remote starter system or HEV system
application.
An installed hood ajar switch cannot be readjusted or repaired. If the switch is damaged,
ineffective, or requires readjustment, it must be replaced with a new unit. The hood ajar switch
striker is not intended for reuse. If the striker is removed from the hood inner reinforcement for any
reason, it must be replaced with a new unit.

Hood Sensor/Switch (For Alarm): Description and Operation Vehicle Theft Security Hood Ajar
Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The hood ajar switches are interchangeable physically, but not functionally. In each case, the hood
ajar switch is a normally closed switch that is held open as the spring-loaded switch plunger is
depressed by the striker on the inner hood panel reinforcement when the hood panel is closed and
latched. When the hood is opened, the spring-loaded switch plunger extends from the switch body
and the switch contacts are closed.
In the underhood security application (export market vehicles only - dark brown retainer ring), the
switch is connected in series between ground and the hood ajar switch sense input of the Front
Control Module (FCM). The FCM uses an internal resistor pull up to monitor the state of the hood
ajar switch contacts.
In the remote starter system application (domestic market vehicles only - white retainer ring) the
switch has a 1 kilo ohm diagnostic resistor connected in parallel to the switch contacts between the
two switch terminals. The switch is connected in series between an output of the FCM and the
hood ajar switch sense input of the FCM. The FCM continually monitors this circuit and will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that it detects. When the hood switch is closed (hood
is open), the remote start feature is disabled.
In the Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system application (white retainer ring) the switch has a 1 kilo
ohm diagnostic resistor connected in parallel to the switch contacts between the two switch
terminals. The switch is connected in series between ground and the hood ajar switch sense input
of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM continually monitors this circuit and will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that it detects. When the hood switch is closed (hood
is open), the gasoline engine auto-start feature is disabled.
The components of the switch self-adjustment feature include an integral stop on the shaft of the
plunger and a ribbed, ratcheting sleeve-like retainer ring at the top of the switch body from which
the plunger extends. With the switch mounting collar secured in its mounting hole, the plunger is
depressed by the striker on the hood inner reinforcement as the hood is closed. As the plunger is
depressed, the plunger stop contacts the top of the retainer ring and it is driven downward,
ratcheting through the switch mounting collar until the hood is fully closed and latched. The ribs on
the retainer ring are engaged within the mounting collar to maintain this adjusted position.
The hood ajar switch as well as the hard wired circuits between the switch and the FCM or PCM
may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate
wiring information. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the
diagnosis of the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices related
to hood ajar switch operation that provide some features of the export market vehicle theft,
domestic market remote starter or the HEV systems. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the electronic controls and communication related to hood ajar switch operation
requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Parking Assist Distance Sensor: Description and Operation Park Assist Sensor - Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the park assist system have four park assist sensors (1) installed on the
rear bumper fascia. Only the membrane (3) of each sensor is visible through a hole in the outer
vertical surface of the fascia. The remainder of each sensor including the sensor mounting bracket,
the sensor spacer and the sensor wiring connection is concealed behind the fascia. A sensor wire
harness behind the fascia connects the sensors to the vehicle electrical system.
Each of the four sensors is identical in construction and is interchangeable. The electronic circuitry
and a communication chip for each sensor is enclosed and protected within the molded black
plastic sensor housing. The housing includes an integral connector receptacle (4) and two integral
latch tabs (2). The sensor membrane extends from the surface of the sensor housing, and is
finished to match or contrast with the outer surface of the fascia.
The numbering system for the park assist sensors allows for up to twelve sensors on the vehicle,
six front and six rear. The sensors are numbered in a clockwise manner starting at the left front
bumper. The left front sensor (if equipped with front park assist) is the number 1 sensor. The
numbering continues in a clockwise direction around the vehicle. Since this vehicle uses only four
rear sensors, sensor numbers 7 and 12 are omitted, so the left rear sensor is the number 11
sensor.

A resilient O-ring spacer around the circumference of each of the four sensor membranes (2)
isolates the membrane from the openings in the fascia (1). Each sensor is snapped into its own
dedicated molded plastic mounting bracket. Each mounting bracket is heat-staked to the back side
of the rear fascia.
The park assist sensors cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged they must be
replaced. The sensors and the spacers are each available for individual service replacement.

Parking Assist Distance Sensor: Description and Operation Park Assist Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The park assist sensors are ultrasonic transceivers that are completely controlled by the park assist
module. The sensors transmit and receive ultrasonic signals. The sensors each receive battery
current and ground in parallel from the module, but are each connected to individual dedicated
serial bus communication circuits to the module.
Each sensor membrane is oscillated, then quieted by the module in a pulsing fashion. While the
sensor membrane oscillates, it emits an ultrasonic signal. This signal will bounce or echo off of
objects in the path of the vehicle. While quieted, each membrane receives the echoes of the
ultrasonic signals it and the other sensors have transmitted. The sensors then communicate this
echo data over the serial bus lines back to the module. The microprocessor in the module uses the
intervals between the ultrasonic transmission and reception data from the sensors to calculate the
distance to any obstacles identified by the ultrasonic echoes.
The hard wired circuits between components related to the park assist sensors may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. 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.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the park
assist sensors or the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices that
provide some features of the park assist system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means
to diagnose the park assist sensors or the electronic controls and communication related to park
assist sensor operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

OPERATION
The six switches in the two remote radio switch units are normally open, resistor multiplexed
momentary switches that are hard wired to the Instrument cluster through the clockspring. The
instrument cluster sends a five volt reference signal to both switch units on one circuit, and senses
the status of all of the switches by reading the voltage drop on a second circuit.
When the instrument cluster senses an input (voltage drop) from any one of the remote radio
switches, it sends the proper switch status messages on the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus to the radio. The electronic circuitry within the radio is programmed to respond to these remote
radio switch status messages by adjusting the radio settings as requested.

Towing Information: Service and Repair Towing
SPECIFICATIONS
In this article you will find safety tips and information on limits to the type of towing you can
reasonably do with the vehicle. Before towing a trailer carefully review this information to tow the
load as efficiently and safely as possible.
To maintain warranty coverage, follow the requirements and recommendations concerning vehicles
used for trailer towing.
Common Towing Definitions
The following trailer towing related definitions will assist you in understanding the following
information:
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
The GVWR is the total allowable weight of the vehicle. This includes driver, passengers, cargo and
tongue weight. The total load must be limited so that you do not exceed the GVWR.
Gross Trailer Weight (GTW)
The Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) is the weight of the trailer plus the weight of all cargo,
consumables and equipment (permanent or temporary) loaded in or on the trailer in its "loaded and
ready for operation" condition. The recommended way to measure GTW is to put the fully loaded
trailer on a vehicle scale. The entire weight of the trailer must be supported by the scale.
Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR)
The Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) is the total permissible weight of the vehicle and
trailer when weighed in combination. (Note that GCWR ratings include a 150 lbs (68 kg) allowance
for the presence of a driver).
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
The GAWR is the maximum capacity of the front and rear axles. Distribute the load over the front
and rear axles evenly. Make sure that you do not exceed either front or rear GAWR.
WARNING: It is important that you do not exceed the maximum front or rear GAWR. A dangerous
driving condition can result if either
rating is exceeded. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious or fatal injury.
Tongue Weight (TW)
The downward force exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer is the tongue weight. In most cases it
should not be less than 10% or more than 15% of the trailer load. You must consider this as part of
the load on the vehicle.
Frontal Area
The maximum height and maximum width of the front of a trailer.
TSC (Trailer Sway Control) - If Equipped
- Trailer Sway Control - Electronic TSC uses sensors in the vehicle to recognize a swaying trailer
and will take the appropriate actions to attempt to stop the sway. The system will reduce engine
power and apply individual brakes that will counteract the sway of the trailer. TSC will become
active automatically once the swaying trailer is recognized. No driver action is required. TSC
cannot stop all trailers from swaying. Always use caution when towing a trailer and follow the
tongue weight recommendations. Even if the vehicle is equipped with electronic TSC, mechanical
sway control is recommended when appropriate for the size of the trailer.
Trailer Sway Control - Mechanical The trailer sway control is a telescoping link that can be installed
between the hitch receiver and the trailer tongue that typically provides adjustable friction
associated with the telescoping motion to dampen any unwanted trailer swaying motions while
traveling.
Weight-Carrying Hitch
A weight-carrying hitch supports the trailer tongue weight, just as if it were luggage located at a
hitch ball or some other connecting point of the vehicle. These kind of hitches are the most popular
on the market today and they're commonly used to tow small- and medium-sized trailers.
Weight-Distributing Hitch
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Towing Information >
System Information > Service and Repair > Towing > Page 8403
A weight-distributing system works by applying leverage through spring (load) bars. They are
typically used for heavier loads, to distribute trailer tongue weight to the tow vehicle's front axle and
the trailer axle(s). When used in accordance with the manufacturers' directions, it provides for a
more level ride, offering more consistent steering and brake control thereby enhancing towing
safety. The addition of a friction/hydraulic sway control also dampens sway caused by traffic and
crosswinds and contributes positively to tow vehicle and trailer stability. trailer sway control and a
weight distributing (load equalizing) hitch are recommended for heavier tongue weights and may be
required depending on vehicle and trailer configuration/loading to comply with Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) requirements.
WARNING: An improperly adjusted Weight-Distributing Hitch system may reduce handling,
stability, braking performance, and could result
in an accident. Weight-Distributing Systems may not be compatible with surge brake couplers.
Consult with the hitch and trailer manufacturer or a reputable recreational vehicle dealer for
additional information. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious or fatal injury.
Fifth-Wheel Hitch
A fifth-wheel hitch is a special high platform with a coupling that mounts over the rear axle of the
tow vehicle in the truck bed. Connects a vehicle and fifth-wheel trailer with a coupling king pin.
Gooseneck Hitch
The gooseneck hitch employs a pivoted coupling arm which attaches to a ball mounted in the bed
of a pickup truck. The coupling arm connects to the hitch mounted over the rear axle in the truck
bed.
Trailer Hitch Classification
The rear bumper is intended to tow trailers up to 2,000 lbs (907 kg) without added equipment or
alterations to the standard equipment. the vehicle may be factory equipped for safe towing of
trailers weighing over 2,000 lbs (907 kg) with the optional Trailer Tow Prep Package. See the
authorized dealer for package content.
The following chart provides the industry standard for the maximum trailer weight a given trailer
hitch class can tow and should be used to assist you in selecting the correct trailer hitch for the
intended towing condition. Refer to Trailer Towing Weights (Maximum Trailer Weight Ratings) for
the website address that contains the necessary information for the specific drivetrain.

All trailer hitches should be professionally installed on the vehicle.
Trailer Towing Weights (Maximum Trailer Weight Ratings)
Trailer and Tongue Weight
Always load a trailer with 60% to 65% of the weight in the front of the trailer. This places 10% to
15% of the Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) on the tow hitch of the vehicle. Loads balanced over the
wheels or heavier in the rear can cause the trailer to sway severely side to side which will cause
loss of control of vehicle and trailer. Failure to load trailers heavier in front is the cause of many
trailer accidents.
Never exceed the maximum tongue weight stamped on the bumper or trailer hitch.
Consider the following items when computing the weight on the rear axle of the vehicle:
- The tongue weight of the trailer.
- The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment put in or on the vehicle.
- The weight of the driver and all passengers.
NOTE: Remember that everything put into or on the trailer adds to the load on the vehicle. Also,
additional factory-installed options, or
dealer-installed options, must be considered as part of the total load on the vehicle. See:
Maintenance/Wheels and Tires/Service and Repair/Procedures Tire and Loading Information
placard in the Tire Safety Information section.
Towing Requirements
To promote proper break-in of the new vehicle drivetrain components the following guidelines are
recommended:
CAUTION:
- Avoid towing a trailer for the first 500 mi (805 km) of vehicle operation. Doing so may damage the
vehicle.
- During the first 500 mi (805 km) of trailer towing, limit the speed to 50 mph (80 km/h).
When towing a trailer, never exceed the GAWR, or GCWR, ratings.
WARNING: Improper towing can lead to an injury accident. Follow these guidelines to make the
trailer towing as safe as possible:
Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer and will not shift during travel. When trailering
cargo that is not fully secured, dynamic load shifts can occur that may be difficult for the driver to
control. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious or fatal injury.
- When hauling cargo or towing a trailer, do not overload the vehicle or trailer. Overloading can
cause a loss of control, poor performance or damage to brakes, axle, engine, transmission,
steering, suspension, chassis structure or tires.
- Safety chains must always be used between the vehicle and trailer. Always connect the chains to
the frame or hook retainers of the vehicle hitch. Cross the chains under the trailer tongue and allow
enough slack for turning corners.
- Vehicles with trailers should not be parked on a grade. When parking, apply the parking brake on
the tow vehicle. Put the tow vehicle automatic transmission in PARK. With a manual transmission,
shift the transmission into REVERSE. And with four-wheel drive vehicles, make sure the
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Towing Information >
System Information > Service and Repair > Towing > Page 8405
transfer case is not in NEUTRAL. Always, block or "chock" the trailer wheels.
- GCWR must not be exceeded.
- Total weight must be distributed between the tow vehicle and the trailer so that the following four
ratings are not exceeded:
- GVWR
- GTW
- GAWR
- Tongue weight rating for the trailer hitch utilized (This requirement may limit the ability to always
achieve the 10% to 15% range of tongue weight as a percentage of total trailer weight).
Towing Requirements - Tires
- Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact spare tire.
- Proper tire inflation pressures are essential to the safe and satisfactory operation of the vehicle.
Refer to the Tires-General Information section on Tire Pressures for proper tire inflation
procedures.
- Also, check the trailer tires for proper tire inflation pressures before trailer usage.
- Check for signs of tire wear or visible tire damage before towing a trailer.See:
Maintenance/Wheels and Tires/Tires/Description and Operation section on Tread Wear Indicators
for the proper inspection procedure.
- When replacing tires See: Maintenance/Wheels and Tires/Tires/Description and Operation
section on Replacement Tires for proper tire replacement procedures. Replacing tires with a higher
load carrying capacity will not increase the vehicle's GVWR and GAWR limits.
Towing Requirements - Trailer Brakes
- Do not interconnect the hydraulic brake system or vacuum system of the vehicle with that of the
trailer. This could cause inadequate braking and possible personal injury.
- An electronically actuated trailer brake controller is required when towing a trailer with
electronically actuated brakes. When towing a trailer equipped with a hydraulic surge actuated
brake system, an electronic brake controller is not required.
- Trailer brakes are recommended for trailers over 1,000 lbs (454 kg) and required for trailers in
excess of 2,000 lbs (907 kg).
CAUTION: If the trailer weighs more than 454 kg (1,000 lbs) loaded, it should have its own brakes
and they should be of adequate capacity.
Failure to do this could lead to accelerated brake lining wear, higher brake pedal effort, longer
stopping distances and may result in serious or fatal injury.
WARNING: Do not connect trailer brakes to the vehicle's hydraulic brake lines. It can overload the
brake system and cause it to fail. You
might not have brakes when you need them and could have an accident. Towing any trailer will
increase the stopping distance. When towing you should allow for additional space between the
vehicle and the vehicle in front of you. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious or
fatal injury.
Towing Requirements - Trailer Lights AND Wiring
Whenever you pull a trailer, regardless of the trailer size, stop lights and turn signals on the trailer
are required for motoring safety.
The Trailer Tow Package may include a 4- and 7-pin wiring harness. Use a factory approved trailer
harness and connector.
NOTE: Do not cut or splice wiring into the vehicle's wiring harness.
The electrical connections are all complete to the vehicle but you must mate the harness to a trailer
connector. Refer to the illustrations and.

Towing Tips
Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping and backing the trailer in an area away from
heavy traffic.
If using a manual transmission vehicle for trailer towing, all starts must be in FIRST gear to avoid
excessive clutch slippage.
Towing Tips - Automatic Transmission
The D range can be selected when towing. However, if frequent shifting occurs while in this range,
the TOW HAUL feature should be selected.
NOTE: Using the TOW HAUL feature while operating the vehicle under heavy operating conditions
will improve performance and extend
transmission life by reducing excessive shifting and heat build up. This action will also provide
better engine braking.
The automatic transmission fluid and filter should be changed if you REGULARLY tow a trailer for
more than 45 minutes of continuous operation. See: Maintenance for transmission fluid change
intervals.
NOTE: Check the automatic transmission fluid level before towing.
Towing Tips - Tow/Haul (If Equipped)
To reduce potential for automatic transmission overheating, turn the TOW HAUL feature ON when
driving in hilly areas or shift the transmission to Drive position 2 on more severe grades.
Towing Tips - Electronic Speed Control (If Equipped)
- Don't use in hilly terrain or with heavy loads.
- When using the speed control, if you experience speed drops greater than 10 mph (16 km/h),
disengage until you can resume cruising speed.
- Use speed control in flat terrain and with light loads to maximize fuel efficiency.
Towing Tips - Cooling System
To reduce potential for engine and transmission overheating, take the following actions:
- City Driving - When stopped for short periods of time, put transmission in neutral and increase
engine idle speed.
- Highway Driving - Reduce speed.
- Air Conditioning - Turn off temporarily.
- Refer to Cooling System Operating information in the Maintenance section for more information.

Towing Information: Service and Repair Towing Recommendations
TOWING RECOMMENDATIONS
HEV Vehicles
CAUTION: The manufacturer recommends towing with all wheels OFF the ground. Acceptable
methods are to tow the vehicle on a flat bed or
with one end of the vehicle raised and the opposite end on a towing dolly.
A vehicle equipped with SAE- approved wheel lift-type towing equipment can be used to tow all
vehicles. When towing a 4WD vehicle using a wheel-lift towing device, use tow dollies under the
opposite end of the vehicle. A vehicle with a flat bed device can also be used to transport a
disabled vehicle.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: The following safety precautions must be observed when towing a vehicle:
- Secure loose and protruding parts.
- Always use a safety chain system that is independent of the lifting and towing equipment.
- Do not allow towing equipment to contact the disabled vehicle's fuel tank.
- Do not allow anyone under the disabled vehicle while it is lifted by the towing device.
- Do not allow passengers to ride in a vehicle being towed.
- Always observe state and local laws regarding towing regulations.
- Do not tow a vehicle in a manner that could jeopardize the safety of the operator, pedestrians or
other motorists.
- Do not attach tow chains, T-hooks, or J-hooks to a bumper, steering linkage, drive shafts or a
non-reinforced frame hole.
- Do not tow a heavily loaded vehicle. Use a flat bed device to transport a loaded vehicle.
GROUND CLEARANCE
CAUTION: If vehicle is towed with wheels removed, install lug nuts to retain brake drums or rotors.
Raise the towed vehicle until lifted wheels are a minimum 100 mm (4 in) from the ground. Be sure
there is adequate distance above the ground at the opposite end of the vehicle, especially when
towing over rough terrain or steep rises in the road.
RAMP ANGLE
If towing with flat bed equipment, the approach ramp angle should not exceed 15 degrees.
TOWING WHEN KEYS ARE NOT AVAILABLE
When the vehicle is locked and keys are not available, tow with flat bed equipment. A wheel-lift
device can be used on 4WD vehicles provided all the wheels are lifted off the ground using tow
dollies.

HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
Chrysler 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 Chrysler
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. All switches,
components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and the key
removed from the ignition. 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.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol 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 from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
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.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8433
- 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.
- 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. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
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
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory 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.

Trailer Towing Relay: Description and Operation Trailer Tow Relay - Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with an optional factory-installed trailer towing package have two trailer tow
relays, one for the trailer right turn and brake lamps and the other for the trailer left turn and brake
lamps. The trailer tow relays are conventional International Standards Organization (ISO) micro
relays. Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical dimensions, current
capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal functions. Each relay is contained within a small,
rectangular, molded plastic housing and is connected to all of the required inputs and outputs
through five integral male spade-type terminals that extend from the relay base plate.
The trailer tow relays are located in the Integrated Power Module (IPM) in the engine compartment
near the battery. Refer to the layout label on the underside of the IPM cover for specific relay cavity
assignment information.
A trailer tow relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the unit must be
replaced.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Trailer Tow Relay - Description > Page 8465
Trailer Towing Relay: Description and Operation Trailer Tow Relay - Operation
OPERATION
The trailer tow relays are electromechanical switches that use a low current input from the Front
Control Module (FCM) (also referred to as the Integrated Power Module/IPM) to control a high
current output to trailer brake and turn signal lamps. Within each relay are an electromagnetic coil,
a movable contact and two fixed contact points. A resistor is connected in parallel with the coil, and
helps to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be generated as the
field of the relay coil collapses.
The movable common supply 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 field draws the movable contact away from the normally closed contact, and
holds it against the normally open contact. When the relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure
returns the movable contact back against the normally closed contact.
The inputs and outputs of the trailer tow relays include:
- Common Supply Terminal (30) - The common feed terminal is connected to a fused B(+) circuit at
all times.
- Coil Ground Terminal (85) - The coil ground terminal is connected to a fused B(+) circuit at all
times.
- Coil Battery Terminal (86) - The coil battery terminal is connected to a control output of the FCM
through a right or left trailer tow turn relay control circuit. The FCM controls trailer brake and turn
lamp operation by controlling a ground path through this circuit.
- Normally Open Terminal (87) - The normally open terminal is connected to the trailer lamps
through a right or left trailer tow turn relay output circuit and provides battery voltage to the right or
left trailer brake and turn lamps whenever the relay is energized.
- Normally Closed Terminal (87A) - The normally closed terminal is not connected to any circuit in
this application, but will have battery voltage present whenever the relay is de-energized.
The trailer tow relays as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the relays may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
Chrysler 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 Chrysler
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. All switches,
components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and the key
removed from the ignition. 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.

All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol 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 from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
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.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Trailer Connector > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8483
- 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.
- 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. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
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
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory 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.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Trailer Connector > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8484
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.

DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the optional Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system have a Hybrid Gateway
Module (HGM) (1) that is secured with three screws to the stamped steel Transmission Auxiliary Oil
Pump (TAOP) control module mounting bracket located on the left hydro form (frame rail) near the
back of the left front wheel housing within the engine compartment of the vehicle. Concealed within
a hollow in the center of the die cast aluminum HGM housing is the electronic circuitry of the HGM,
which includes a microprocessor and an electronic printed circuit board. A stamped metal cover
plate (2) is sealed and secured to the HGM housing with four screws to enclose and protect the
internal electronic circuitry and components.
Two molded plastic electrical connectors (3), one containing 24 terminal pins and the other
containing 12 terminal pins, exit the forward facing side of the HGM cover plate and are pointed
downward. These terminal pins connect the HGM to the vehicle electrical system through two
dedicated take outs and connectors of the headlamp and dash wire harness. The HGM housing
has integral mounting flanges on two sides with three mounting holes in each flange. The mounting
flange to the left of the connector receptacles is secured to the TAOP control module mounting
bracket with two screws, while the flange on the right side is secured to the bracket with only one
screw.
The HGM cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if damaged or ineffective, it must be replaced.

DESCRIPTION
The Front Control Module (FCM) is a micro controller based module located in the left front corner
of the engine compartment. The front control module mates to the power distribution center to form
the Integrated Power Module (IPM). The IPM connects directly to the battery and provides the
primary means of circuit protection and power distribution for all vehicle electrical systems. The
front control module controls power to some of these vehicle systems electrical and
electromechanical loads based on inputs received from hard wired switch inputs and data received
on the CAN bus circuit.

Description and Operation > Gateway Module - Description > Page 8518
Body Control Module: Description and Operation Front Control Module - Operation
OPERATION
As messages are sent over the CAN bus circuit, the Front Control Module (FCM) reads these
messages and controls power to some of the vehicles electrical systems by completing the circuit
to ground (low side driver) or completing the circuit to 12 volt power (high side driver). The following
functions are controlled by the FCM:
- Front turn signals
- Stop, turn signal and tail lamps
- Front and rear hazard warning lamps
- Headlamps
- Fog Lamps
- Daytime running lamps - if equipped
- Horn
- Windshield and liftgate wiper and washer systems
- Transfer case shifting
- Trailer tow wiring output
- Rear window defroster power and timing
- Air conditioning condenser cooling fan
The FCM provides the following features for the above function:
- It provides a illuminated approach feature that turns the headlamps on when the vehicle is
unlocked with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
- It flashes lamps in response to turn signal, RKE and Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS)
inputs.
- It sounds the horn in response to RKE and VTSS inputs.
- It turns off the horn in the event of excessively long operation that could otherwise damage the
horn.
- It turns off the windshield washer motor after 10 seconds of continuous operation to protect the
motor.
- It minimizes voltage variations to the headlamps to extend bulb life and to equalize the light output
from the lamps, which might otherwise differ due to variations in wiring resistance.
- If the headlamps are left on, it automatically turns them off after eight minutes to protect the
battery from discharge.It monitors battery voltage and turns off non-essential functions such as the
fog lamps, rear window defogger, and heated seats if necessary to conserve battery power.
- It operates the high-beam headlamps at reduced intensity by pulse-width modulation of the power
supply to provide the daytime running lamps.
- It provides the variable delay intermittent windshield and liftgate wiper time delay features, and
the vehicle speed sensitive windshield wiper delay variation.
- It acts as a link between the CAN bus network for critical powertrain and anti-lock brake systems
and the network for body and interior modules.

Description and Operation > Gateway Module - Description > Page 8519
Body Control Module: Description and Operation Gateway Module - Operation
OPERATION
The Hybrid Gateway Module (HGM) provides a communication interface between the electronic
control modules (nodes) in the vehicle, as well as with the diagnostic scan tool connected to the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus system and the nodes connected to the Hybrid Local Area
Network (H-LAN) data bus system. The HGM is the central gateway that processes and transfers
messages between the different bus systems. In addition, the HGM is Local Interface Network
(LIN) bus compatible. It receives a direct input over the LIN bus from a humidity sensor secured to
the inside rear view mirror mount on the inside of the windshield glass, which it then transmits over
the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
The microprocessor-based HGM also provides input and output circuitry that responds to both
digital and analog inputs and provides electronically controlled higher current load outputs through
lower current relay drivers. The HGM uses On-Board Diagnostics (OBD). If the HGM detects a
monitored system fault, it sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) that can be retrieved with a
diagnostic scan tool through the 16-way data link connector located on the driver side lower edge
of the instrument panel. The HGM connects directly to a fused battery current input and to ground,
so that it remains capable of operating, regardless of the ignition switch position.
The hardwired inputs and outputs for the HGM may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic
tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. However, conventional
diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the HGM, the electronic controls or
communication between other modules and devices that provide features of the Hybrid Electric
Vehicle (HEV) control system. The most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose the
HGM, the electronic controls and communication related to HGM operation, requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Hood Sensor/Switch (For Alarm): Description and Operation Vehicle Theft Security Hood Ajar
Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The hood ajar switch is a normally closed, single pole, spring-loaded plunger actuated switch. This
switch has two unique versions that are used in three different applications. One switch is used
only on vehicles equipped with the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) system for sale in certain export
markets where protection of the underhood area is required equipment. The second switch is used
only on domestic market vehicles equipped with either an optional remote starter system or the
optional Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system.
The molded plastic switch body (5) has an integral molded connector receptacle (1) on the lower
end containing two terminal pins. The switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
dedicated take out of the headlamp and dash wire harness. Two integral latches (2) lock the switch
into a keyed mounting hole. For the vehicle theft and remote start applications, the switch is
secured within the stamped metal inner left fender mounting flange within the engine compartment.
For the HEV applications, the switch is secured within the stamped metal inner right fender
mounting flange within the engine compartment. A molded plastic striker secured to the underside
of the hood panel inner reinforcement actuates the switch plunger as the hood panel is closed.
The switch plunger (3) extends through a mounting collar (4) and a sleeve-like retainer ring on the
upper end of the switch body. The retainer ring has a one time, self-adjustment feature that is
activated after the switch is installed by closing the hood. The retainer ring is also color-coded to
aid in identifying the switch application. A dark brown retainer ring identifies the underhood security
switch application, while a white retainer ring identifies the remote starter system or HEV system
application.
An installed hood ajar switch cannot be readjusted or repaired. If the switch is damaged,
ineffective, or requires readjustment, it must be replaced with a new unit. The hood ajar switch
striker is not intended for reuse. If the striker is removed from the hood inner reinforcement for any
reason, it must be replaced with a new unit.

Hood Sensor/Switch (For Alarm): Description and Operation Vehicle Theft Security Hood Ajar
Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The hood ajar switches are interchangeable physically, but not functionally. In each case, the hood
ajar switch is a normally closed switch that is held open as the spring-loaded switch plunger is
depressed by the striker on the inner hood panel reinforcement when the hood panel is closed and
latched. When the hood is opened, the spring-loaded switch plunger extends from the switch body
and the switch contacts are closed.
In the underhood security application (export market vehicles only - dark brown retainer ring), the
switch is connected in series between ground and the hood ajar switch sense input of the Front
Control Module (FCM). The FCM uses an internal resistor pull up to monitor the state of the hood
ajar switch contacts.
In the remote starter system application (domestic market vehicles only - white retainer ring) the
switch has a 1 kilo ohm diagnostic resistor connected in parallel to the switch contacts between the
two switch terminals. The switch is connected in series between an output of the FCM and the
hood ajar switch sense input of the FCM. The FCM continually monitors this circuit and will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that it detects. When the hood switch is closed (hood
is open), the remote start feature is disabled.
In the Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system application (white retainer ring) the switch has a 1 kilo
ohm diagnostic resistor connected in parallel to the switch contacts between the two switch
terminals. The switch is connected in series between ground and the hood ajar switch sense input
of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM continually monitors this circuit and will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that it detects. When the hood switch is closed (hood
is open), the gasoline engine auto-start feature is disabled.
The components of the switch self-adjustment feature include an integral stop on the shaft of the
plunger and a ribbed, ratcheting sleeve-like retainer ring at the top of the switch body from which
the plunger extends. With the switch mounting collar secured in its mounting hole, the plunger is
depressed by the striker on the hood inner reinforcement as the hood is closed. As the plunger is
depressed, the plunger stop contacts the top of the retainer ring and it is driven downward,
ratcheting through the switch mounting collar until the hood is fully closed and latched. The ribs on
the retainer ring are engaged within the mounting collar to maintain this adjusted position.
The hood ajar switch as well as the hard wired circuits between the switch and the FCM or PCM
may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate
wiring information. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the
diagnosis of the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices related
to hood ajar switch operation that provide some features of the export market vehicle theft,
domestic market remote starter or the HEV systems. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the electronic controls and communication related to hood ajar switch operation
requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Power Trunk / Liftgate Control Module: Description and Operation Power Liftgate Control Module Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a power liftgate system utilize a power liftgate control module (4). This
module is located on the left side of the vehicle behind the C-pillar below the quarter glass The
power liftgate control module receives and monitors logic inputs from all the power liftgate system
switches. This module also contains the software technology to detect liftgate obstructions and stop
or reverse the door accordingly.

Module > Component Information > Description and Operation > Power Liftgate Control Module - Description > Page 8745
Power Trunk / Liftgate Control Module: Description and Operation Power Liftgate Control Module Operation
OPERATION
The power liftgate control module contains the electronic circuitry and software used to control the
sequence of events for the power liftgate system. This module communicates on the Controller
Area Network (CAN) to monitor many different inputs and outputs such as door lock status,
transmission gear selector position and vehicle speed.
The power liftgate open/close command can be initiated by either one press of the power liftgate
overhead console switch or two presses of the key fob power liftgate switch. The overhead switch
is hardwired to the power liftgate control module. The key fob, sends a signal out on the Controller
Area Network (CAN) Data Bus circuit. This signal is detected at the Power Liftgate Control Module.
The power liftgate control module then interprets the information to confirm safety requirements are
met before applying power to the power liftgate drive unit to start a power cycle.
During a power liftgate open or close cycle, if the power liftgate control module detects sufficient
resistance to liftgate travel, such as an obstruction in the liftgate's path. The control module will
immediately stop liftgate movement and reverse the direction of travel to the full open or closed
position.
The power liftgate control module has the ability to relearn. After 8 miles have been recorded on
the odometer, anytime the liftgate is fully opened and fully closed using the automatic system, the
module will learn from its cycle. If a replacement power liftgate component is installed or a liftgate
adjustment is made, the module will relearn the effort and time required to open or close the
liftgate. This learn cycle can be performed with a Diagnostic Scan Tool or with a complete cycle of
the liftgate, using either one of the command switches. See: Testing and Inspection/Programming
and Relearning for detailed instructions.

Power Trunk / Liftgate Hazard Sensor: Description and Operation Pinch Sensor - Description
DESCRIPTION
Pinch sensors (2) are located on each side of the liftgate (1). 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 liftgate close cycle. The right side pinch sensor contains a thermistor that is integral to the
pinch sensor assembly. The thermistor is a temperature sensor used by the power liftgate control
module to enable proper liftgate operation in extreme climate conditions.

Power Trunk / Liftgate Hazard Sensor: Description and Operation Pinch Sensor - Operation
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.
The thermistor portion of the right pinch sensor provides the temperature signal to the power
liftgate control module (temperature is provided when the pinch sensor is in an unpinched
condition; when pinched, temperature is unavailable because the thermistor is shorted). As the
outside temperature increases, the resistance reading decreases. As temperature decreases, the
resistance reading increases.

LIFTGATE
The liftgate ajar switch is actuated by the liftgate latch mechanism. When the liftgate is closed and
properly latched, its liftgate ajar switch is an open circuit. When the liftgate is open or only partially
latched, the liftgate ajar switch is a closed circuit. The liftgate ajar switch is hard wired in series
between a body ground and the Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the
Cab Compartment Node/CCN). The EMIC reads the hard wired liftgate ajar switch input through an
internal pull-up, then uses this input to control many electronic functions and features of the
vehicle.
The liftgate ajar switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Vehicles equipped with a power liftgate, utilize a power cinch/release latch. This power liftgate latch
performs the same function as a manual liftgate latch as well as the power cinch/release capability.
The power cinch/release latch function is made possible by a latch actuator attached to the top of
the liftgate latch assembly. This latch actuator contains a small drive gear that meshes with the
latch assemblies internal gears to perform the power cinch/release function. The latch actuator is
controlled by the power liftgate control module, which controls the cinch function and limits actuator
current draw to protect the assembly. The latch is located in the lower center of the liftgate
assembly and contains integral switches. These switches include, liftgate ajar, secondary, pawl,
sector and power liftgate exterior handle.
The power latch cannot be adjusted or repaired and if damaged or inoperative must be replaced.
See: Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement/Power Liftgate Latch - Removal for the
appropriate procedure.

Trunk / Liftgate Latch: Description and Operation Power Liftgate Latch - Operation
OPERATION
NOTE: Power latch "Cinching" will become disabled if the pinch sensors are inoperable or
damaged.
Operating on hardwired inputs from the power liftgate control module, the power liftgate latch
mounted actuator (cinch/release motor) provides the torque required to close the liftgate from the
secondary to the primary closed and latched position. The actuator also releases the liftgate from
the primary closed and latched position to the fully unlatched and movable position.
Following every cinch or release sequence, the power liftgate latch will return to a "home" or
neutral position. If for some reason the latch is unable to return to the "home" position, the power
liftgate control module will recognize this and prevent the latch from releasing. If this condition
exists, activation of the power liftgate feature or exterior handle will result in a short beep from the
power liftgate chime. In this situation, perform the Power Liftgate Latch Homing Procedure, See:
Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning.

Trunk / Liftgate Motor: Description and Operation Power Liftgate Drive Unit - Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a power liftgate system, utilize a power liftgate drive unit (3). The drive unit
assembly consists of a DC motor, gear position sensor, clutch, full-open switch, housing/bracket
assembly and wire harness. The clutch and motor portion of the assembly provides the power and
torque required to open or close the liftgate (5) under most conditions. The Hall Effect position
sensor is used to provide the liftgate control module with a clutch/motor speed signal. This speed
signal is used to monitor any resistance of liftgate travel and allows the liftgate control module to
detect obstructions and control the liftgate accordingly. The clutch assembly is used to allow
automatic power open/close mode and full manual operation, if desired. The full-open switch is
used to let the liftgate control module know when the liftgate is approaching the full open position.
The drive unit (3) is secured to the D-pillar (1) with three retaining bolts (4). The drive unit (3) is
connected the liftgate (5) with the link rod (6).
The drive unit cannot be adjusted or repaired and if damaged or inoperative must be replaced.
See: Service and Repair/Power Liftgate Drive Unit - Removal for the appropriate procedure.

OPERATION
LIFTGATE IS CLOSED
The power liftgate open command can be initiated by either one press of the power liftgate
overhead console switch or two presses of the key fob power liftgate button. The overhead console
switch is hardwired to the power liftgate control module, where as the key fob signal is sent out on
the Controller Area Network (CAN) Data Bus circuit. This signal is detected by the power liftgate
control module. The power liftgate control module then interprets the information to confirm safety
requirements are met. The control module will then signal the liftgate mounted latch assembly to
release the liftgate from its primary closed and latched position to the ajar and movable position.
The power liftgate drive unit then takes over to move the liftgate into the full open position.
LIFTGATE IS OPEN
The power liftgate close command can be initiated by either one press of the power liftgate
overhead console switch or two presses of the key fob power liftgate button. The overhead console
switch is hardwired to the power liftgate control module, where as the key fob signal is sent out on
the Controller Area Network (CAN) Data Bus circuit. This signal is detected by the power liftgate
control module. The power liftgate control module then interprets the information to confirm safety
requirements are met. The control module will then signal the power liftgate drive unit to move the
liftgate into the closed position. Once the liftgate mounted latch reaches the body mounted striker
assembly, the power latch takes over to cinch the liftgate to the fully closed and latched position.
If a obstacle is encountered during a power open or close cycle, the power liftgate control module
will automatically reverse direction of the liftgate to prevent vehicle damage or personal injury.

Trunk / Liftgate Switch: Description and Operation Exterior Handle Switch - Installation
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with a power liftgate exterior handle switch. The switch is integral to the
power liftgate latch assembly. It is activated by the exterior handle, located in the license plate light
bar, through a mechanical link rod attaching the two together. The power liftgate exterior handle
switch is primarily used for manual opening of the liftgate. Activation of the switch during a
automatic power "close" cycle will cause the liftgate to reverse direction. Activation of the switch
during a power "open" cycle will cause the power liftgate to disengage, allowing full manual
operation.
The exterior handle cannot be adjusted or repaired and if damaged it must be replaced. See: Trunk
/ Liftgate Handle/Service and Repair/Exterior Handle - Removal.
The power liftgate exterior handle switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and if damaged or
inoperative the complete power liftgate latch assembly must be replaced. See: Trunk / Liftgate
Latch/Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement/Power Liftgate Latch - Removal.

Trunk / Liftgate Switch: Description and Operation Exterior Handle Switch - Removal
OPERATION
When the exterior liftgate handle is pulled, a mechanical linkage inside the liftgate depresses the
power liftgate exterior handle switch in the power liftgate latch assembly. A hard-wired signal is
then detected by the Power Liftgate Control Module. The power liftgate control module then looks
at the vehicle lock status on the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. If the vehicle is not
locked and the operating conditions are met, the power liftgate control module then applies power
to the latch mounted motor, which moves the liftgate from the primary closed and latched position
to the open and movable position.
If the liftgate is not pulled open within seven seconds, once the latch releases, the latch will
automatically cinch closed.

Battery voltage is supplied to the power liftgate system through a fuse, located in the Integrated
Power Module (IPM) assembly. When the power liftgate switch is pushed, a hardwired signal is
sent to the Power Liftgate Control Module. The power liftgate control module then interprets the
information to confirm safety requirements are met before applying power to the power liftgate drive
unit to start a power cycle.
During a power liftgate open or close cycle, if the power liftgate control module detects sufficient
resistance to liftgate travel, such as an obstruction in the liftgate's path. The control module will
immediately stop liftgate movement and reverse the direction of travel to the full open or closed
position.

Trailer Towing Relay: Description and Operation Trailer Tow Relay - Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with an optional factory-installed trailer towing package have two trailer tow
relays, one for the trailer right turn and brake lamps and the other for the trailer left turn and brake
lamps. The trailer tow relays are conventional International Standards Organization (ISO) micro
relays. Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical dimensions, current
capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal functions. Each relay is contained within a small,
rectangular, molded plastic housing and is connected to all of the required inputs and outputs
through five integral male spade-type terminals that extend from the relay base plate.
The trailer tow relays are located in the Integrated Power Module (IPM) in the engine compartment
near the battery. Refer to the layout label on the underside of the IPM cover for specific relay cavity
assignment information.
A trailer tow relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the unit must be
replaced.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Frame > Trailer Towing Relay > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Trailer Tow Relay - Description > Page 8905
Trailer Towing Relay: Description and Operation Trailer Tow Relay - Operation
OPERATION
The trailer tow relays are electromechanical switches that use a low current input from the Front
Control Module (FCM) (also referred to as the Integrated Power Module/IPM) to control a high
current output to trailer brake and turn signal lamps. Within each relay are an electromagnetic coil,
a movable contact and two fixed contact points. A resistor is connected in parallel with the coil, and
helps to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be generated as the
field of the relay coil collapses.
The movable common supply 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 field draws the movable contact away from the normally closed contact, and
holds it against the normally open contact. When the relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure
returns the movable contact back against the normally closed contact.
The inputs and outputs of the trailer tow relays include:
- Common Supply Terminal (30) - The common feed terminal is connected to a fused B(+) circuit at
all times.
- Coil Ground Terminal (85) - The coil ground terminal is connected to a fused B(+) circuit at all
times.
- Coil Battery Terminal (86) - The coil battery terminal is connected to a control output of the FCM
through a right or left trailer tow turn relay control circuit. The FCM controls trailer brake and turn
lamp operation by controlling a ground path through this circuit.
- Normally Open Terminal (87) - The normally open terminal is connected to the trailer lamps
through a right or left trailer tow turn relay output circuit and provides battery voltage to the right or
left trailer brake and turn lamps whenever the relay is energized.
- Normally Closed Terminal (87A) - The normally closed terminal is not connected to any circuit in
this application, but will have battery voltage present whenever the relay is de-energized.
The trailer tow relays as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the relays may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

Door Module: Description and Operation Door Module - Description
DESCRIPTION
There are two Door Modules, Driver Door Module (DDM) and Passenger Door Modules (PDM).
One located in the driver door and one in the passenger door, just behind the door trim panel. The
modules send a bus message to the power mirrors to adjust them to a preset position when a
memory recall request has been made.
The memory mirror modules also act as an interface in each door for electrical functions (door lock
switches and door ajar switches).
The Memory System makes available for immediate recall personalized preferences of the
following:
- Automatic temperature control settings.
- Outside mirror positions.
- Power adjustable brake and accelerator pedal position.
- Power seat horizontal, vertical, recliner, and easy entry positions.
- Radio push button station selections.
The major components of the Memory System are:
- Memory Selector Switch - located in the driver door trim panel.
- Driver Door Module (DDM) - located in the driver door, behind the trim panel.
- Passenger Door Module (PDM) - located in the passenger door, behind the trim panel.
- Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM) - located at ignition key cylinder.
- Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter - located with ignition key.
- Memory Seat Module (MSM) - located underneath the driver seat and also controls the Adjustable
Pedals.
- Radio - located in the instrument panel center stack.
- Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) - located in the instrument panel center stack.
The memory recall is available at the press of a button on the drivers door trim panel or, by using
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter if it is programmed to trigger the recall.
Radio settings include up to 20 push button presets (10 AM and 10 FM), and the last station
selection, even if it is not one of the 20 preset selections.

Door Module: Description and Operation Door Module - Operation
OPERATION
The door modules receives input from the door lock switches and sends that message to the
cluster for door lock operation (vehicles equipped with memory system only). It also controls the
mirror adjustment by receiving input from the mirror switch on the door trim panel. Sensors in the
mirrors act as inputs to the memory mirror module in order to position the mirrors to presets by the
driver(s). The power supply to the mirrors is supplied by the door modules. On vehicles equipped
with a memory system, the front door ajar switches are inputs to the door module. The modules
use this information for door lock inhibit etc.
A memory setting is saved by pressing the "set" button, then pressing either the memory "1" or "2"
button within 5 seconds of pressing the "set" button.
A memory setting is recalled by pressing either the memory "1" or "2" button, or by pressing the
unlock button on a "linked" Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
For driver safety, memorized settings can not be recalled if the transmission is in a position other
than Park or the seat belt is latched.
Both driver and passenger modules provide active and stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) to
aid in diagnosis.
Both modules are identical in appearance with the exception of an extra ground wire on the driver
side memory mirror module.

SKREEM PROGRAMMING
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a gasoline engine, or an Engine Control Module
(ECM) for a diesel engine and the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as the
Wireless Control Module/WCM) on vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
NOTE: If the PCM and the SKREEM are replaced at the same time, program the PCM VIN into the
PCM first.
1. If applicable first replace the PCM/ECM with the original WCM still connected to the vehicle. 2.
Using the appropriate service information program the new PCM/ECM. (This will ensure the Secret
Key Transfer from the original WCM into the
new PCM/ECM).
3. Now replace and program the WCM. This will retain the Secret Key from the PCM/ECM back
into the new WCM. 4. With the scan tool, select Miscellaneous Functions, WCM/Wireless Control
Module. Then select the desired procedure and follow the display on
the scan tool.
5. If the vehicle is equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System program the Placard Pressure
Values into the WCM/SKREEM. 6. Ensure all the customer's keys have been programmed into the
new module if necessary.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly,
programming new keys will be necessary.
PROGRAMMING THE SKREEM
The SKIS Secret Key is an ID code that is unique to each SKREEM/WCM. This code is
programmed and stored in the SKREEM/WCM, the PCM/ECM, and each ignition key transponder
chip. When the PCM/ECM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret
Key into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in
the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED, ECM REPLACED, WCM REPLACED, or
GATEWAY REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL
MODULE/WCM menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Programming the PCM/ECM or SKREEM is done using a diagnostic scan tool and a PIN to
enter secure access mode. If three
attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an incorrect PIN, secure access mode will
be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn the ignition to the RUN position for one
hour then enter the correct PIN. Be certain that all accessories are turned OFF. Also monitor the
battery state and connect a battery charger if necessary.
NOTE: Before replacing the ECU 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 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.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When a ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM 3. Replace all ignition keys and program them
to the new SKIM.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When an ECM (Bosch) and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in
order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM (Bosch) 3. Replace all ignition keys and
program them to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING THE SKIM
CAUTION: Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle. 2. Connect the StarSCAN(R).
CAUTION: If the ECM/PCM and SKREEM/WCM are replaced at the same time, the ECM/PCM
MUST be programmed before the
SKREEM/WCM.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Keyless Entry > Keyless Entry Module > Component Information >
Locations > Page 8996
3. Select "ECU View". 4. Select "WCM Wireless Control Module". 5. Select "Miscellaneous
Functions". 6. Select WCM replaced. 7. Enter the PIN when prompted. 8. Verify the correct
information.
NOTE: If the ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time, all vehicle keys will need to be
replaced and programmed to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE/WCM menu item.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly,
programming new keys will be necessary.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret
Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
PROGRAMMING NOT ATTEMPTED - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status
and there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- PROGRAMMING KEY FAILED (POSSIBLE USED KEY FROM WRONG VEHICLE) - SKREEM is
unable to program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is ineffective.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.
- 8 KEYS ALREADY LEARNED, PROGRAMMING NOT DONE - The SKREEM transponder ID
memory is full.
- LEARNED KEY IN IGNITION - The ID for the ignition key transponder currently in the ignition lock
cylinder is already programmed into SKREEM memory.

Power Door Lock Switch: Description and Operation Power Lock Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
A window/lock switch located in each front door trim panel. The driver's side window/lock switch
includes the following:
- Power Lock Switch - A two-way, momentary, resistor multiplexed switch to control the power lock
system.
- Power Window Lockout Switch - A two-way, latching, push-button switch allows the vehicle
operator to lock out the power window switches on each passenger door so that the passenger
door power windows may be operated only from the master switches.
- Power Window Switches - A two-way, momentary power window switch for the driver side front
door also has a second detent in the Down direction and internal circuitry to provide an Auto-Down
feature for the driver side front door power window. In addition to the power window switch for its
own door, the window/lock switch houses individual master switches for each passenger door
power window.
The passenger side window/lock switch includes the following:
- Power Lock Switch - A two-way, momentary, resistor multiplexed switch to control the power lock
system.
- Power Window Switch - A two-way, momentary power window switch for the passenger side front
door.

Power Door Lock Switch: Description and Operation Power Lock Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The driver side window/lock switch combines a power lock switch, a driver power window switch
with an Auto-down feature, master switches for each passenger door power window, a power
window lockout switch, a power mirror selector switch, and four power mirror adjustment switches
in a single assembly. The switches in the window/lock switch can be diagnosed using conventional
diagnostic tools and methods.
Power Lock Switch
The power lock switch circuitry is connected in series between ground and the driver door switch
mux input of the instrument cluster (without memory). If equipped with the memory system, the
circuitry is connected to the memory mirror module. Each power lock switch position (Lock, Unlock,
and Neutral) provides a different resistance value to the instrument cluster or memory mirror input,
which allows the instrument cluster or memory module to sense the switch position. Based upon
the power lock switch input, the instrument cluster or memory module controls the battery and
ground feed outputs to the individual power lock motors to lock or unlock the door latches. The
Light-Emitting Diode (LED) in the power lock switch is connected to battery current through the
power window circuit breaker in the Integrated Power Module (IPM) on a fused ignition switch
output (run-acc) circuit so that the switch will be illuminated whenever the ignition switch is in the
On or Accessory positions.
Power Window Switches
The power window switch circuitry is connected to battery current through a circuit breaker in the
Integrated Power Module (IPM) on a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit so that the power
windows will operate whenever the ignition switch is in the On or Accessory positions. Each
two-way, momentary master passenger power window switch in the window/lock switch provides
battery current and ground to the individual power window switches on each passenger door so
that the power window switch controls the battery current and ground feeds to its respective power
window motor. The switch for the driver side front door power window includes an auto-down
feature. When this switch is depressed to a second momentary detent position and released, the
driver door power window is automatically operated through an internal circuit and relay to its fully
lowered position. The Auto-down event is cancelled if the switch paddle is depressed a second
time in either the Up or Down direction. When the two position window lockout switch in the
window/lock switch is depressed and latched in the lockout position, the battery current feed to
each of the individual passenger power window switches is interrupted so that the passenger door
power windows can only be operated from the switches in the window/lock switch. The window
lockout switch also controls the battery current feed for the LED in each passenger power window
switch so that the switch will not be illuminated when it is locked out.

Power Door Lock Switch: Testing and Inspection
WINDOW/DOOR LOCK SWITCH
The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) illumination lamps for all of the window/lock switch power window
and power lock switches receive battery current through the circuit breaker in the Integrated Power
Module (IPM). If only one LED in the door module is inoperative, replace the faulty door module. If
the driver side front door power window operates in a normal manner, but the Auto-Down feature is
inoperative, replace the faulty window/lock switch. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable. Remove the window/lock switch from the door
trim panel. Disconnect the door wire electrical
connectors from the switch.
2. Test the switch continuity. See the Switch Tests chart to determine if the continuity is correct for
the suspect switches in each switch position. If
not OK, replace the faulty window/lock switch as required.

DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The scan tool standardization process must be performed on the Memory Seat Module
(MSM) any time a new module is installed or
the existing module is reflashed.
The Memory Seat Module (MSM) is located underneath the driver seat, towards the front and on
the outboard side. It is used in conjunction with the other modules in the memory system See:
Memory Seat Module - Operation to recall the seat to one of two preset seat functional adjustments
(horizontal, vertical, and recliner). The switch for the memory seat programming and selection
mounts on the driver door trim panel. The MSM also controls the adjustable pedals, both for the
memory and manual functionality. The adjustable accelerator and brake pedals are available on
SLT and Limited models. On Limited, their positioning can be stored for recall by the memory
system, allowing for two drivers to have unique, pre-programmed settings.

Memory Positioning Module: Description and Operation Memory Seat Module - Operation
OPERATION
POWER/MEMORY SEAT
The memory seat module receives input from the 8-way power seat switch, the driver seat position
sensors, adjustable pedal control circuits (switch, sensor, and motor), and the data bus circuit. The
memory switch, is wired to the memory mirror module which sends the message over the data bus.
The memory seat module performs the following functions:
- Positions the driver seat (vertical, horizontal, and recliner positions) and adjustable pedals.
- Sends the memory save or recall (#1 or #2) command over the data bus circuit to the memory
mirror modules, HVAC, and radio.
- Provides for "linking" the key FOBs to memory.
- Provides for the easy entry/exit feature.
- Provides the tilt mirrors in reverse feature
When a memory button is pressed (#1 or #2) on the memory switch, the driver door memory mirror
module sends a recall message to the memory seat module (MSM). Then the MSM will position the
driver seat and adjustable pedals to its preprogrammed location/setting. When the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) Transmitter button is pressed, depending on which transmitter (#1 or #2), the
SKREEM (RKE Receiver) sends the recall request and FOB number (#1 or #2) data message. This
RKE transmitter function depends on if the MSM is programmed to trigger the recall (linked FOBs).
A memory setting is saved by pressing the "set" button, then pressing either the memory "1" or "2"
button within 5 seconds of pressing the "set" button.
A memory setting is recalled by pressing either the memory "1" or "2" button, or by pressing the
unlock button on a "linked" Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
For driver safety, memorized settings can not be recalled if the transmission is in any position other
than park or the seat belt is latched.
A key FOB is "linked" to a memory setting by pressing the "set" button and then pressing either the
memory "1" or "2" button within 5 seconds of pressing the set button, then by pressing the "lock"
button on the selected key FOB.
The memory system "Easy Entry and /Exit" feature provides the driver with more room to enter or
exit the vehicle. The Easy Entry and Exit feature is disabled when the vehicle leaves the factory. An
authorized dealer can enable this feature. When the seat is in a memorized position, it will move
rearward 55 millimeters or to the end of its travel, whichever occurs first, when the key is removed
from the ignition switch lock cylinder. The seat will return to the memory position when the driver
turns the vehicle's ignition switch out of the LOCK position.
The memory system "learns" the seat and adjustable pedal motor maximum end positions when
the motor reaches the limit of travel in any direction and stalls. Subsequently, movement will stop
just short of that position to avoid extra stress on the motors and mechanisms. If the system
learned a maximum position as a result of an obstruction, as for instance if a large object was
placed on the floor behind the seat, the system can relearn the "true" maximum position through
manually operating the power seat after the obstruction is removed.
NOTE: It is normal for the power accessories contained in the memory system to stop at the
maximum "learned" position and then continue
to the "true" maximum position when the control switch is released and then applied in the same
direction a second time.
Certain functions and features of the memory system rely upon resources shared with other
electronic modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. The CAN bus 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. For
diagnosis of these electronic modules or of the CAN bus, the use of a scan tool and the proper
diagnostic information are needed.
The tilt mirrors in reverse feature provides for tilting the sideview (outside) mirrors down a
predetermined angle, providing a better view of the ground next to the rear portion of the vehicle.
The tilt mirrors in reverse feature is disabled when the vehicle leaves the factory. An authorized
dealer can enable this feature. Operation of the tilt mirrors is as follows:
- Sideview mirrors will tilt down when the vehicle transmission is shifted into Reverse.
- Sideview mirrors will return to the original position when the vehicle transmission is shifted out of
Reverse.
ADJUSTABLE PEDALS
The pedals swing on a large arc, the radius and angle of which were selected on the basis of
ergonomic studies, that puts them in the proper position for use by the smaller driver - higher and
angled upward as well as rearward. Powered by the small electric motor driving a gear train at
each pedal, adjustment is precise, quiet, and smooth throughout the range. A paddle-type switch
on the instrument panel to the left of the steering column actuates the electric motor-driven
mechanism through the memory seat module (MSM). Pushing up the paddle brings the pedals
closer and vice versa. Movement

stops when the switch is released. MSM logic prevents pedal adjustment when the automatic
speed control (cruise control) is set (controlling speed), and when the transmission is in reverse.
This feature protects against a loss of reference position when neither foot is on the pedal.

Paint: Description and Operation Basecoat/Clearcoat Finish - Description
DESCRIPTION
The original equipment paint finish is a multi step process that involves cleaning, applying electro
de-position (E-coat), anti-chip primer, basecoat, and clearcoat steps.
CAUTION: Do not use abrasive chemicals, abrasive compounds or harsh alkaline based cleaning
solvents on the painted surfaces of a vehicle.
Failure to follow this caution can result in damage to vehicle finish.
On most vehicles a two-part paint application (basecoat/clearcoat) is used. Color paint that is
applied to primer is called basecoat. A clear coat paint is then applied to protect the basecoat from
ultraviolet light and to provide a durable high-gloss finish.

Keyless Entry Module: Testing and Inspection
SKREEM PROGRAMMING
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a gasoline engine, or an Engine Control Module
(ECM) for a diesel engine and the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as the
Wireless Control Module/WCM) on vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
NOTE: If the PCM and the SKREEM are replaced at the same time, program the PCM VIN into the
PCM first.
1. If applicable first replace the PCM/ECM with the original WCM still connected to the vehicle. 2.
Using the appropriate service information program the new PCM/ECM. (This will ensure the Secret
Key Transfer from the original WCM into the
new PCM/ECM).
3. Now replace and program the WCM. This will retain the Secret Key from the PCM/ECM back
into the new WCM. 4. With the scan tool, select Miscellaneous Functions, WCM/Wireless Control
Module. Then select the desired procedure and follow the display on
the scan tool.
5. If the vehicle is equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System program the Placard Pressure
Values into the WCM/SKREEM. 6. Ensure all the customer's keys have been programmed into the
new module if necessary.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly,
programming new keys will be necessary.
PROGRAMMING THE SKREEM
The SKIS Secret Key is an ID code that is unique to each SKREEM/WCM. This code is
programmed and stored in the SKREEM/WCM, the PCM/ECM, and each ignition key transponder
chip. When the PCM/ECM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret
Key into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in
the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED, ECM REPLACED, WCM REPLACED, or
GATEWAY REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL
MODULE/WCM menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Programming the PCM/ECM or SKREEM is done using a diagnostic scan tool and a PIN to
enter secure access mode. If three
attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an incorrect PIN, secure access mode will
be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn the ignition to the RUN position for one
hour then enter the correct PIN. Be certain that all accessories are turned OFF. Also monitor the
battery state and connect a battery charger if necessary.
NOTE: Before replacing the ECU 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 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.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When a ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM 3. Replace all ignition keys and program them
to the new SKIM.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When an ECM (Bosch) and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in
order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM (Bosch) 3. Replace all ignition keys and
program them to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING THE SKIM
CAUTION: Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle. 2. Connect the StarSCAN(R).
CAUTION: If the ECM/PCM and SKREEM/WCM are replaced at the same time, the ECM/PCM
MUST be programmed before the
SKREEM/WCM.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Relays and Modules - Body and Frame > Keyless Entry Module >
Component Information > Locations > Page 9089
3. Select "ECU View". 4. Select "WCM Wireless Control Module". 5. Select "Miscellaneous
Functions". 6. Select WCM replaced. 7. Enter the PIN when prompted. 8. Verify the correct
information.
NOTE: If the ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time, all vehicle keys will need to be
replaced and programmed to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE/WCM menu item.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly,
programming new keys will be necessary.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret
Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
PROGRAMMING NOT ATTEMPTED - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status
and there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- PROGRAMMING KEY FAILED (POSSIBLE USED KEY FROM WRONG VEHICLE) - SKREEM is
unable to program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is ineffective.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.
- 8 KEYS ALREADY LEARNED, PROGRAMMING NOT DONE - The SKREEM transponder ID
memory is full.
- LEARNED KEY IN IGNITION - The ID for the ignition key transponder currently in the ignition lock
cylinder is already programmed into SKREEM memory.

DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The scan tool standardization process must be performed on the Memory Seat Module
(MSM) any time a new module is installed or
the existing module is reflashed.
The Memory Seat Module (MSM) is located underneath the driver seat, towards the front and on
the outboard side. It is used in conjunction with the other modules in the memory system See:
Memory Seat Module - Operation to recall the seat to one of two preset seat functional adjustments
(horizontal, vertical, and recliner). The switch for the memory seat programming and selection
mounts on the driver door trim panel. The MSM also controls the adjustable pedals, both for the
memory and manual functionality. The adjustable accelerator and brake pedals are available on
SLT and Limited models. On Limited, their positioning can be stored for recall by the memory
system, allowing for two drivers to have unique, pre-programmed settings.

Memory Positioning Module: Description and Operation Memory Seat Module - Operation
OPERATION
POWER/MEMORY SEAT
The memory seat module receives input from the 8-way power seat switch, the driver seat position
sensors, adjustable pedal control circuits (switch, sensor, and motor), and the data bus circuit. The
memory switch, is wired to the memory mirror module which sends the message over the data bus.
The memory seat module performs the following functions:
- Positions the driver seat (vertical, horizontal, and recliner positions) and adjustable pedals.
- Sends the memory save or recall (#1 or #2) command over the data bus circuit to the memory
mirror modules, HVAC, and radio.
- Provides for "linking" the key FOBs to memory.
- Provides for the easy entry/exit feature.
- Provides the tilt mirrors in reverse feature
When a memory button is pressed (#1 or #2) on the memory switch, the driver door memory mirror
module sends a recall message to the memory seat module (MSM). Then the MSM will position the
driver seat and adjustable pedals to its preprogrammed location/setting. When the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) Transmitter button is pressed, depending on which transmitter (#1 or #2), the
SKREEM (RKE Receiver) sends the recall request and FOB number (#1 or #2) data message. This
RKE transmitter function depends on if the MSM is programmed to trigger the recall (linked FOBs).
A memory setting is saved by pressing the "set" button, then pressing either the memory "1" or "2"
button within 5 seconds of pressing the "set" button.
A memory setting is recalled by pressing either the memory "1" or "2" button, or by pressing the
unlock button on a "linked" Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
For driver safety, memorized settings can not be recalled if the transmission is in any position other
than park or the seat belt is latched.
A key FOB is "linked" to a memory setting by pressing the "set" button and then pressing either the
memory "1" or "2" button within 5 seconds of pressing the set button, then by pressing the "lock"
button on the selected key FOB.
The memory system "Easy Entry and /Exit" feature provides the driver with more room to enter or
exit the vehicle. The Easy Entry and Exit feature is disabled when the vehicle leaves the factory. An
authorized dealer can enable this feature. When the seat is in a memorized position, it will move
rearward 55 millimeters or to the end of its travel, whichever occurs first, when the key is removed
from the ignition switch lock cylinder. The seat will return to the memory position when the driver
turns the vehicle's ignition switch out of the LOCK position.
The memory system "learns" the seat and adjustable pedal motor maximum end positions when
the motor reaches the limit of travel in any direction and stalls. Subsequently, movement will stop
just short of that position to avoid extra stress on the motors and mechanisms. If the system
learned a maximum position as a result of an obstruction, as for instance if a large object was
placed on the floor behind the seat, the system can relearn the "true" maximum position through
manually operating the power seat after the obstruction is removed.
NOTE: It is normal for the power accessories contained in the memory system to stop at the
maximum "learned" position and then continue
to the "true" maximum position when the control switch is released and then applied in the same
direction a second time.
Certain functions and features of the memory system rely upon resources shared with other
electronic modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. The CAN bus 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. For
diagnosis of these electronic modules or of the CAN bus, the use of a scan tool and the proper
diagnostic information are needed.
The tilt mirrors in reverse feature provides for tilting the sideview (outside) mirrors down a
predetermined angle, providing a better view of the ground next to the rear portion of the vehicle.
The tilt mirrors in reverse feature is disabled when the vehicle leaves the factory. An authorized
dealer can enable this feature. Operation of the tilt mirrors is as follows:
- Sideview mirrors will tilt down when the vehicle transmission is shifted into Reverse.
- Sideview mirrors will return to the original position when the vehicle transmission is shifted out of
Reverse.
ADJUSTABLE PEDALS
The pedals swing on a large arc, the radius and angle of which were selected on the basis of
ergonomic studies, that puts them in the proper position for use by the smaller driver - higher and
angled upward as well as rearward. Powered by the small electric motor driving a gear train at
each pedal, adjustment is precise, quiet, and smooth throughout the range. A paddle-type switch
on the instrument panel to the left of the steering column actuates the electric motor-driven
mechanism through the memory seat module (MSM). Pushing up the paddle brings the pedals
closer and vice versa. Movement

stops when the switch is released. MSM logic prevents pedal adjustment when the automatic
speed control (cruise control) is set (controlling speed), and when the transmission is in reverse.
This feature protects against a loss of reference position when neither foot is on the pedal.

Power Trunk / Liftgate Control Module: Description and Operation Power Liftgate Control Module Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a power liftgate system utilize a power liftgate control module (4). This
module is located on the left side of the vehicle behind the C-pillar below the quarter glass The
power liftgate control module receives and monitors logic inputs from all the power liftgate system
switches. This module also contains the software technology to detect liftgate obstructions and stop
or reverse the door accordingly.

Power Trunk / Liftgate Control Module: Description and Operation Power Liftgate Control Module Operation
OPERATION
The power liftgate control module contains the electronic circuitry and software used to control the
sequence of events for the power liftgate system. This module communicates on the Controller
Area Network (CAN) to monitor many different inputs and outputs such as door lock status,
transmission gear selector position and vehicle speed.
The power liftgate open/close command can be initiated by either one press of the power liftgate
overhead console switch or two presses of the key fob power liftgate switch. The overhead switch
is hardwired to the power liftgate control module. The key fob, sends a signal out on the Controller
Area Network (CAN) Data Bus circuit. This signal is detected at the Power Liftgate Control Module.
The power liftgate control module then interprets the information to confirm safety requirements are
met before applying power to the power liftgate drive unit to start a power cycle.
During a power liftgate open or close cycle, if the power liftgate control module detects sufficient
resistance to liftgate travel, such as an obstruction in the liftgate's path. The control module will
immediately stop liftgate movement and reverse the direction of travel to the full open or closed
position.
The power liftgate control module has the ability to relearn. After 8 miles have been recorded on
the odometer, anytime the liftgate is fully opened and fully closed using the automatic system, the
module will learn from its cycle. If a replacement power liftgate component is installed or a liftgate
adjustment is made, the module will relearn the effort and time required to open or close the
liftgate. This learn cycle can be performed with a Diagnostic Scan Tool or with a complete cycle of
the liftgate, using either one of the command switches. See: Doors, Hood and Trunk/Trunk /
Liftgate/Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning for detailed instructions.

OPERATION
The heated seat module operates on fused battery current received from the ignition switch. The
module is grounded at all times through a ground lug on the right rear D-pillar. Inputs to the module
include CAN bus messages and standard hardwired 12volt power and ground. In response to
those inputs the heated seat module controls the battery current to the heated seat elements.
When a heated seat switch CAN bus signal is received by the heated seat module, the module
energizes the selected heated seat element. 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 heated seat module detects a heated seat element OPEN or SHORT circuit, it will record and
store an diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

Trailer Towing Relay: Description and Operation Trailer Tow Relay - Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with an optional factory-installed trailer towing package have two trailer tow
relays, one for the trailer right turn and brake lamps and the other for the trailer left turn and brake
lamps. The trailer tow relays are conventional International Standards Organization (ISO) micro
relays. Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical dimensions, current
capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal functions. Each relay is contained within a small,
rectangular, molded plastic housing and is connected to all of the required inputs and outputs
through five integral male spade-type terminals that extend from the relay base plate.
The trailer tow relays are located in the Integrated Power Module (IPM) in the engine compartment
near the battery. Refer to the layout label on the underside of the IPM cover for specific relay cavity
assignment information.
A trailer tow relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the unit must be
replaced.

Trailer Towing Relay: Description and Operation Trailer Tow Relay - Operation
OPERATION
The trailer tow relays are electromechanical switches that use a low current input from the Front
Control Module (FCM) (also referred to as the Integrated Power Module/IPM) to control a high
current output to trailer brake and turn signal lamps. Within each relay are an electromagnetic coil,
a movable contact and two fixed contact points. A resistor is connected in parallel with the coil, and
helps to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be generated as the
field of the relay coil collapses.
The movable common supply 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 field draws the movable contact away from the normally closed contact, and
holds it against the normally open contact. When the relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure
returns the movable contact back against the normally closed contact.
The inputs and outputs of the trailer tow relays include:
- Common Supply Terminal (30) - The common feed terminal is connected to a fused B(+) circuit at
all times.
- Coil Ground Terminal (85) - The coil ground terminal is connected to a fused B(+) circuit at all
times.
- Coil Battery Terminal (86) - The coil battery terminal is connected to a control output of the FCM
through a right or left trailer tow turn relay control circuit. The FCM controls trailer brake and turn
lamp operation by controlling a ground path through this circuit.
- Normally Open Terminal (87) - The normally open terminal is connected to the trailer lamps
through a right or left trailer tow turn relay output circuit and provides battery voltage to the right or
left trailer brake and turn lamps whenever the relay is energized.
- Normally Closed Terminal (87A) - The normally closed terminal is not connected to any circuit in
this application, but will have battery voltage present whenever the relay is de-energized.
The trailer tow relays as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the relays may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The scan tool standardization process must be performed on the Memory Seat Module
(MSM) any time a new module is installed or
the existing module is reflashed.
The Memory Seat Module (MSM) is located underneath the driver seat, towards the front and on
the outboard side. It is used in conjunction with the other modules in the memory system See:
Memory Seat Module - Operation to recall the seat to one of two preset seat functional adjustments
(horizontal, vertical, and recliner). The switch for the memory seat programming and selection
mounts on the driver door trim panel. The MSM also controls the adjustable pedals, both for the
memory and manual functionality. The adjustable accelerator and brake pedals are available on
SLT and Limited models. On Limited, their positioning can be stored for recall by the memory
system, allowing for two drivers to have unique, pre-programmed settings.

The memory seat module receives input from the 8-way power seat switch, the driver seat position
sensors, adjustable pedal control circuits (switch, sensor, and motor), and the data bus circuit. The
memory switch, is wired to the memory mirror module which sends the message over the data bus.
The memory seat module performs the following functions:
- Positions the driver seat (vertical, horizontal, and recliner positions) and adjustable pedals.
- Sends the memory save or recall (#1 or #2) command over the data bus circuit to the memory
mirror modules, HVAC, and radio.
- Provides for "linking" the key FOBs to memory.
- Provides for the easy entry/exit feature.
- Provides the tilt mirrors in reverse feature
When a memory button is pressed (#1 or #2) on the memory switch, the driver door memory mirror
module sends a recall message to the memory seat module (MSM). Then the MSM will position the
driver seat and adjustable pedals to its preprogrammed location/setting. When the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) Transmitter button is pressed, depending on which transmitter (#1 or #2), the
SKREEM (RKE Receiver) sends the recall request and FOB number (#1 or #2) data message. This
RKE transmitter function depends on if the MSM is programmed to trigger the recall (linked FOBs).
A memory setting is saved by pressing the "set" button, then pressing either the memory "1" or "2"
button within 5 seconds of pressing the "set" button.
A memory setting is recalled by pressing either the memory "1" or "2" button, or by pressing the
unlock button on a "linked" Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
For driver safety, memorized settings can not be recalled if the transmission is in any position other
than park or the seat belt is latched.
A key FOB is "linked" to a memory setting by pressing the "set" button and then pressing either the
memory "1" or "2" button within 5 seconds of pressing the set button, then by pressing the "lock"
button on the selected key FOB.
The memory system "Easy Entry and /Exit" feature provides the driver with more room to enter or
exit the vehicle. The Easy Entry and Exit feature is disabled when the vehicle leaves the factory. An
authorized dealer can enable this feature. When the seat is in a memorized position, it will move
rearward 55 millimeters or to the end of its travel, whichever occurs first, when the key is removed
from the ignition switch lock cylinder. The seat will return to the memory position when the driver
turns the vehicle's ignition switch out of the LOCK position.
The memory system "learns" the seat and adjustable pedal motor maximum end positions when
the motor reaches the limit of travel in any direction and stalls. Subsequently, movement will stop
just short of that position to avoid extra stress on the motors and mechanisms. If the system
learned a maximum position as a result of an obstruction, as for instance if a large object was
placed on the floor behind the seat, the system can relearn the "true" maximum position through
manually operating the power seat after the obstruction is removed.
NOTE: It is normal for the power accessories contained in the memory system to stop at the
maximum "learned" position and then continue
to the "true" maximum position when the control switch is released and then applied in the same
direction a second time.
Certain functions and features of the memory system rely upon resources shared with other
electronic modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. The CAN bus 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. For
diagnosis of these electronic modules or of the CAN bus, the use of a scan tool and the proper
diagnostic information are needed.
The tilt mirrors in reverse feature provides for tilting the sideview (outside) mirrors down a
predetermined angle, providing a better view of the ground next to the rear portion of the vehicle.
The tilt mirrors in reverse feature is disabled when the vehicle leaves the factory. An authorized
dealer can enable this feature. Operation of the tilt mirrors is as follows:
- Sideview mirrors will tilt down when the vehicle transmission is shifted into Reverse.
- Sideview mirrors will return to the original position when the vehicle transmission is shifted out of
Reverse.
ADJUSTABLE PEDALS
The pedals swing on a large arc, the radius and angle of which were selected on the basis of
ergonomic studies, that puts them in the proper position for use by the smaller driver - higher and
angled upward as well as rearward. Powered by the small electric motor driving a gear train at
each pedal, adjustment is precise, quiet, and smooth throughout the range. A paddle-type switch
on the instrument panel to the left of the steering column actuates the electric motor-driven
mechanism through the memory seat module (MSM). Pushing up the paddle brings the pedals
closer and vice versa. Movement

stops when the switch is released. MSM logic prevents pedal adjustment when the automatic
speed control (cruise control) is set (controlling speed), and when the transmission is in reverse.
This feature protects against a loss of reference position when neither foot is on the pedal.

DESCRIPTION
The driver power seat can be adjusted in eight different ways using the power seat switch. The
passenger power seat can be adjusted in four different ways. The power seat switch is located on
the lower outboard side of the seat cushion on the seat cushion side shield on all models.
The individual switches in the power seat switch assembly cannot be repaired. If one switch is
damaged or inoperative, the entire power seat switch must be replaced.

Operation > Power Seat Switch - Description > Page 9264
Power Seat Switch: Description and Operation Power Seat Switch - Operation
OPERATION
When a power seat switch is actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are applied through the
switch contacts to the power seat adjuster or recliner adjuster motor. The selected adjuster motor
operates to move the seat 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.
On vehicles equipped with memory system, a resistance signal is sent to the Memory Seat Module
(MSM) via the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus circuit, when the driver memory seat switch
control knob is actuated. The MSM is responsible for the 12v battery feed and ground path to the
power seat adjuster motor. The adjuster motor operates to move the power seat adjuster
mechanism through its drive unit in the selected direction until the switch is released, or until the
travel limit of the adjuster is reached.
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 may result in
motor damage.

> Heated Seats - Description > Page 9315
Seat Heater: Description and Operation Heated Seats - Operation
Front Heated Seat System
OPERATION
The heated seat system operates on battery current received through a fuse in the Integrated
Power Module (IPM). Fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuits are used, so that the heated
seat system will only operate when the ignition switch is in the On or Accessory positions. The
heated seat system will turn Off automatically whenever the ignition switch is turned to any position
except On or Accessory.
A Heated Seat Module is used to control the heated seat system. The module responds to heated
seat switch messages and ignition switch status inputs by controlling the 12v output to the front
seat heating elements through integral solid-state relays.
When either of the heated seat switches are depressed a resistance signal is sent to the Cab
Compartment Node (CCN) or instrument cluster. The Cab Compartment Node (CCN) then sends a
CAN bus message to the heated seat module, signaling the module to energize the heating
element for the selected seat. The Cab Compartment Node (CCN) also turns on the HI and LO
LED indicators on each of the heated seat switches.
The heated seat module energizes an integral solid-state relay, which supplies battery current to
the heating elements. When the pre-programmed duty-cycle has been achieved (approx. 2 hours),
the module de-energizes the solid-state relay. The module will continue to cycle the solid-state
relay as needed to maintain the temperature set point. No heated seat sensors are used with the
heated seat system option.
The module will automatically turn off the heating elements if it detects an OPEN or LOW short in
the heating element circuit. See the vehicle glove box for more information on the features, use and
operation of the heated seat system.
Second Row Heated Seat System
OPERATION
The heated second row seat system operates on battery current received through a fuse in the
Integrated Power Module (IPM). Fused ignition switch output (run) circuits are used, so that the
heated second row seat system will only operate when the ignition switch is in the On position. The
system will turn Off automatically whenever the ignition switch is turned to any position except On.
A Heated Seat Switch/Module is used to control the heated second row seat system. The
switch/module responds to heated seat switch/module button input and ignition switch status inputs
by controlling the 12v output to the second row seat heating elements through integral solid-state
relays.
When either of the heated seat switch/module buttons are depressed the heating element for the
selected seat is energized. Amber Light Emitting Diodes (LEDS) on the side of each switch/module
indicate the level of heat in use: Two LEDs are illuminated for high, one for low, and none for off.
Pressing the switch/module button once will select high-level heating. Pressing the button a second
time will select low-level heating. Pressing the button a third time will shut the heating elements off.
The heated seat switch/module energizes an integral solid-state relay, which supplies battery
current to the heating elements. When high-temperature heating is selected, the heaters provide a
boosted heat level during the first four minutes of operation after heating is activated. The heat
output then drops to the normal high-temperature level. If high-level heating is selected, the control
system will automatically switch to the low level after thirty minutes of continuous operation. At that
time, the number of illuminated LEDs changes from two to one, indicating the change. Operation
on the low setting will continue for another thirty minutes and the system will then be automatically
turned off.
The system will automatically turn off the heating elements if it detects an OPEN or LOW short in
the heating element circuit.

Front Seats
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the optional heated seat system have two heated seat element located in
each front seat. One heating element is used for each seat cushion and another for each seat
back.
Each of the heated seat element consists of a single length of resistor wire that is routed in a
zigzag pattern and captured between the leather trim cover and the seat cushion assembly. Short
pigtail wires with connectors are soldered to each end of each resistor wire element grid, which
connect all of the element grids to each other in series with the heated seat module through the
wire harness.
The heated seat elements cannot be repaired. If found to be damaged or faulty, a new heating
element assembly must be installed.
Second Row
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the optional heated second row seat system have four, carbon fiber heated
second row seat elements. One element for each second row seat back and seat cushion. The
elements are integral to the second row seat cushion and seat back foam and cannot be removed,
once installed at the factory.
Each of the heated second row seat elements consists of multiple heating circuits operating in
parallel throughout the carbon fiber element. The heated second row seat elements are
permanently secured to the seat foam assembly. If a malfunction occurs in one or more of the
individual carbon fiber circuits, the others will continue to provide heat.
The heated second row seat elements cannot be repaired. If found to be damaged or inoperative, a
new heating element assembly must be installed.

Seat Heater: Description and Operation Heater Pad - Operation
Front Seats
OPERATION
One end of the heated seat element resistor wire is connected to ground at all times through a
splice under the seat. Battery current is directed to the other end of the heated seat element
resistor wire by the energized N-channel Field Effect Transistor located within the heated seat
module. The heated seat module will energize the N-FET when the heated seat switch is
depressed in the Low or High position.
As electrical current passes through the heating element grid, the resistance of the wire used in the
element disperses some of that electrical current in the form of heat. The heat produced by the
heated seat element grid then radiates through the underside of the seat cushion and seat back
trim covers, warming the seat cover and its occupant.
Second Row
OPERATION
One end of the heated second row seat element is connected to ground at all times through a
splice and connector under the rear center floor console. Battery current is directed to the other
end of the heated second row seat element by the heated seat switch/module. The heated seat
switch/module will energize the heated second row seat element when the heated seat
switch/module button is depressed in the Low or High position.
As electrical current passes through the heated second row seat element, the resistance of the
wire used in the element disperses some of the electrical current in the form of heat. The heat
produced by the heated second row seat element then radiates through the underside of the seat
cushion and seat back trim covers, warming the seat cover and its occupant.

Seat Heater: Testing and Inspection Front Heated Seat System
HEATED SEAT SYSTEM
In order to obtain conclusive testing of the heated seat system, the Controller Area Network (CAN)
data bus system must be checked.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the heated seat system requires the
use of a Scan Tool and the Service and Body Diagnostic Information. The Scan Tool can provide
vital information to the technician trying to find a problem with the heated seat system. Diagnostic
logic is built into the heated seat module and the instrument cluster (CCN) to help the person trying
to locate the problem by the most efficient means possible. Anytime a problem is suspected, a
Scan Tool should be obtained and used to retrieve any stored fault codes in the heated seat
module and/or instrument cluster.
If diagnostic fault codes are present in the module, record them on a piece of paper immediately
before proceeding any further. Then, use these fault codes to identify the problem by verifying the
fault code. Example, If the module records "DRIVER SEAT HEAT OUTPUT OPEN" fault code,
locate the diagnostic procedure for this code in the appropriate Body Diagnostic information and
follow the steps until the specific problem is located and resolved. Once the problem is thought to
be corrected, erase the stored fault code using the Scan Tool and verify correct system operation.
If the heated seat system is functioning correctly, verify that there are no other stored codes in the
module and return the vehicle to service.
If the fault code could not be verified, such as not finding anything wrong when following the
diagnostic steps in the Body Diagnostic information. This is a good indication that a
INTERMITTENT problem may be present. You must than attempt to find the intermittent problem,
such as moving the heating element within the seat while testing continuity or wiggling the wire
harness/electrical connectors under the seat while testing continuity. Always, eliminate all other
potential problems before attempting to replace module.
PRELIMINARY TEST
Before testing the individual components in the heated seat system, check the following:
- Using Scan Tool, check the heated seat module for any stored fault codes. Record these codes
on paper for reference and resolve using the appropriate Body Diagnostic information.
- Check the vehicles battery open-circuit voltage and charging system performance. If the vehicles
electrical system is defective or weak it may not be suppling sufficient energy to operate the heated
seat system.
- If the heated seat switch backlighting does not light with the ignition switch in the On position,
check the fused ignition switch fuse in the integrated power module. If OK, See: Seat Heater
Switch/Testing and Inspection. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component as required and
replace the faulty fuse or repair the open ground circuit as required.
- If the heated seat switch HI/LO LED indicators do not light with the ignition switch in the On
position and the heated seat switch in the Low or High position, check the fused ignition switch fuse
in the integrated power module. If OK, See: Seat Heater Switch/Testing and Inspection. If not OK,
repair the shorted circuit or component as required and replace the faulty fuse.

HEATED SEAT ELEMENT
The wire harness connectors (2AND3) for the heating elements are located under the seat (1).
NOTE: When checking heated seat elements for continuity, be certain to move the heating element
being checked. Moving the element, such
as sitting in the seat will eliminate the possibility of an intermittent open in the element which would
only be evident if the element was in a certain position. Failure to check the element in various
positions could result in an incomplete test.
1. Locate and disconnect the seat electrical connector. 2. Check for continuity between the circuit
leading in and out of the appropriate heated seat element. There should be continuity (less than 6
ohms).
If OK, See: Seat Heater Control Module/Testing and Inspection. If not OK, replace the heated seat
element.

Seat Heater: Testing and Inspection Second Row Heated Seat System
HEATED SECOND ROW SEAT SYSTEM
There are two methods of diagnosing the heated second row seat system. The "HEATED SEAT
SYSTEM SELF-DIAGNOSIS" is to be performed when the system is inoperative and one or more
of the heated seat switch/module Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicator lamps are flashing. The
"HEATED SEAT SYSTEM BASE DIAGNOSIS" is to be performed when the system is inoperative
and no LEDs are flashing or lighting when the switch/module buttons are pressed.
HEATED SEAT SYSTEM SELF-DIAGNOSIS
NOTE: Before testing the individual components in the heated second row seat system, check the
vehicles battery open-circuit voltage and
charging system performance. If the vehicles electrical system is defective or weak it may not be
suppling sufficient energy to operate the heated second row seat system.
The heated second row seat system is capable of performing some self-diagnostics. The following
table depicts the various monitored failures which will be reported to the vehicle operator or
technician by flashing the individual heated seat switch/module Light Emitting Diode (LED)
indicator lamps. Heated Second Row Seat System Self-Diagnosis Table for failure identification.
The left heated seat switch/module indicator lamps will flash if a failure occurs in the left heated
second row seat, and the right heated seat switch/module indicator lamps will flash for a right
heated second row seat failure. If a monitored heated second row seat system failure occurs, the
switch/module indicator lamps will flash at a pulse rate of about one-half second on, followed by
about one-half second off for a duration of about one minute after the switch/module for the
inoperative heated second row seat is depressed in either the Low or High direction. This process
will repeat every time the inoperative heated seat switch/module is actuated until the problem has
been corrected.
For complete circuit 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.

Seat Heater Control Module: Description and Operation Heated Seat Module - Operation
OPERATION
The heated seat module operates on fused battery current received from the ignition switch. The
module is grounded at all times through a ground lug on the right rear D-pillar. Inputs to the module
include CAN bus messages and standard hardwired 12volt power and ground. In response to
those inputs the heated seat module controls the battery current to the heated seat elements.
When a heated seat switch CAN bus signal is received by the heated seat module, the module
energizes the selected heated seat element. 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 heated seat module detects a heated seat element OPEN or SHORT circuit, it will record and
store an diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

DESCRIPTION
The heated seat switches are both mounted in the instrument panel. The two switches are snapped
into mounting holes in the instrument panel center bezel (1). The two heated seat switches (2) and
(3) are identical in appearance and construction, except for the location of a keyway in the
connector receptacle on the back of each switch. The instrument panel wire harness connectors for
the heated seat switches are keyed to match the connector receptacles so that the two heated seat
switches can only be connected to the proper heated seat.
Each momentary, bidirectional rocker-type heated seat switch provides a resistor-multiplexed
signal to the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). Each switch has a center neutral position and
momentary Low and High positions so that the driver and the front seat passenger can select a
preferred seat heating level. Each heated seat switch has two Light-Emitting Diode (LED) indicator
lamps, which indicate the selected level (Low or High) of the seat heater. Each switch also has one
indicator lamp for back lighting of the switch when the ignition switch is in the Run position.
The five LED indicator lamps in each heated seat switch cannot be repaired. If the LED lamps are
faulty or damaged, or the switch is faulty or damaged the individual heated seat switch assembly
must be replaced.

Momentary contact push button switch/modules (2) mounted in the front face of the second row
center floor console (3) operate the heated second row seat system. Each heated seat
switch/module has two Light-Emitting Diode (LED) indicator lamps, which indicate the selected
level (Low or High) of the seat heater. Pressing the switch/module button initiates heat. Heat
remains on until switched off or until the ignition is turned off. If switched off by the ignition, a
switch/module button must be pressed to restart heating.
The switch/modules contain the solid state electronic control and diagnostic logic circuitry for the
heated second row seat system. If any of the heated second row seat elements are inoperative or
damaged one or more of the LED lamps in the switch/module for the effected seat will flash.
The LED indicator lamps in each heated seat switch/module cannot be repaired. If the LED lamps
are inoperative or damaged, or the switch/module is inoperative or damaged the individual heated
seat switch/module assembly must be replaced. See: Service and Repair/Heated Seat Switch Removal for the switch/module replacement procedure.

Seat Heater Switch: Description and Operation Heated Seat Switch - Operation
Front
OPERATION
The heated seat switches receive battery current through a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
when the ignition switch is in the On position. Depressing the heated seat switch rocker to its
momentary High or Low position provides a hard-wired resistor multiplexed signal to the Cabin
Compartment Node (CCN). The CCN is responsible for supplying the CAN bus message to the
heated seat module, signaling the module to power the heated seat element of the selected seat
and maintain the temperature setting.
If the heated seat switch is depressed to a different position (Low or High) than the currently
selected state, the CCN will go through the process again to change the temperature setting. If a
heated seat switch is depressed a second time to the same position as the currently selected state,
the CCN and heated seat module interprets the second input as a request to turn the seat heater
OFF. The CCN will then signal the heated seat module to turn the heated seat elements for that
seat off.
The backlighting LED's in each of the heated seat switches receive battery current through a fused
ignition switch output (run) circuit when the ignition switch is in the On position. The ground side of
the indicator lamp is divided by a separate lamp driver circuit in the CCN.
Second Row
OPERATION
A Heated Seat Switch/Module is used to control the heated second row seat system. The heated
seat switch/modules receive battery current through a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
when the ignition switch is in the On position. The switch/module responds to heated seat
switch/module button input and ignition switch status inputs by controlling the 12v output to the
front seat heating elements through integral solid-state relays.
When either of the heated seat switch/module buttons are depressed the heating element for the
selected seat is energized. Amber Light Emitting Diodes (LEDS) on the side of each switch/module
indicate the level of heat in use: Two LEDs are illuminated for high, one for low, and none for off.
Pressing the switch/module button once will select high-level heating. Pressing the button a second
time will select low-level heating. Pressing the button a third time will shut the heating elements off.
The heated seat switch/module energizes an integral solid-state relay, which supplies battery
current to the heating elements. When high-temperature heating is selected, the heaters provide a
boosted heat level during the first four minutes of operation after heating is activated. The heat
output then drops to the normal high-temperature level. If high-level heating is selected, the control
system will automatically switch to the low level after thirty minutes of continuous operation. At that
time, the number of illuminated LEDs changes from two to one, indicating the change. Operation
on the low setting will continue for another thirty minutes and the system will then be automatically
turned off.

Hood Sensor/Switch (For Alarm): Description and Operation Vehicle Theft Security Hood Ajar
Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The hood ajar switch is a normally closed, single pole, spring-loaded plunger actuated switch. This
switch has two unique versions that are used in three different applications. One switch is used
only on vehicles equipped with the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) system for sale in certain export
markets where protection of the underhood area is required equipment. The second switch is used
only on domestic market vehicles equipped with either an optional remote starter system or the
optional Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system.
The molded plastic switch body (5) has an integral molded connector receptacle (1) on the lower
end containing two terminal pins. The switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
dedicated take out of the headlamp and dash wire harness. Two integral latches (2) lock the switch
into a keyed mounting hole. For the vehicle theft and remote start applications, the switch is
secured within the stamped metal inner left fender mounting flange within the engine compartment.
For the HEV applications, the switch is secured within the stamped metal inner right fender
mounting flange within the engine compartment. A molded plastic striker secured to the underside
of the hood panel inner reinforcement actuates the switch plunger as the hood panel is closed.
The switch plunger (3) extends through a mounting collar (4) and a sleeve-like retainer ring on the
upper end of the switch body. The retainer ring has a one time, self-adjustment feature that is
activated after the switch is installed by closing the hood. The retainer ring is also color-coded to
aid in identifying the switch application. A dark brown retainer ring identifies the underhood security
switch application, while a white retainer ring identifies the remote starter system or HEV system
application.
An installed hood ajar switch cannot be readjusted or repaired. If the switch is damaged,
ineffective, or requires readjustment, it must be replaced with a new unit. The hood ajar switch
striker is not intended for reuse. If the striker is removed from the hood inner reinforcement for any
reason, it must be replaced with a new unit.

ajar switch is a normally closed switch that is held open as the spring-loaded switch plunger is
depressed by the striker on the inner hood panel reinforcement when the hood panel is closed and
latched. When the hood is opened, the spring-loaded switch plunger extends from the switch body
and the switch contacts are closed.
In the underhood security application (export market vehicles only - dark brown retainer ring), the
switch is connected in series between ground and the hood ajar switch sense input of the Front
Control Module (FCM). The FCM uses an internal resistor pull up to monitor the state of the hood
ajar switch contacts.
In the remote starter system application (domestic market vehicles only - white retainer ring) the
switch has a 1 kilo ohm diagnostic resistor connected in parallel to the switch contacts between the
two switch terminals. The switch is connected in series between an output of the FCM and the
hood ajar switch sense input of the FCM. The FCM continually monitors this circuit and will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that it detects. When the hood switch is closed (hood
is open), the remote start feature is disabled.
In the Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system application (white retainer ring) the switch has a 1 kilo
ohm diagnostic resistor connected in parallel to the switch contacts between the two switch
terminals. The switch is connected in series between ground and the hood ajar switch sense input
of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM continually monitors this circuit and will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that it detects. When the hood switch is closed (hood
is open), the gasoline engine auto-start feature is disabled.
The components of the switch self-adjustment feature include an integral stop on the shaft of the
plunger and a ribbed, ratcheting sleeve-like retainer ring at the top of the switch body from which
the plunger extends. With the switch mounting collar secured in its mounting hole, the plunger is
depressed by the striker on the hood inner reinforcement as the hood is closed. As the plunger is
depressed, the plunger stop contacts the top of the retainer ring and it is driven downward,
ratcheting through the switch mounting collar until the hood is fully closed and latched. The ribs on
the retainer ring are engaged within the mounting collar to maintain this adjusted position.
The hood ajar switch as well as the hard wired circuits between the switch and the FCM or PCM
may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate
wiring information. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the
diagnosis of the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices related
to hood ajar switch operation that provide some features of the export market vehicle theft,
domestic market remote starter or the HEV systems. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the electronic controls and communication related to hood ajar switch operation
requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Power Door Lock Switch: Description and Operation Power Lock Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
A window/lock switch located in each front door trim panel. The driver's side window/lock switch
includes the following:
- Power Lock Switch - A two-way, momentary, resistor multiplexed switch to control the power lock
system.
- Power Window Lockout Switch - A two-way, latching, push-button switch allows the vehicle
operator to lock out the power window switches on each passenger door so that the passenger
door power windows may be operated only from the master switches.
- Power Window Switches - A two-way, momentary power window switch for the driver side front
door also has a second detent in the Down direction and internal circuitry to provide an Auto-Down
feature for the driver side front door power window. In addition to the power window switch for its
own door, the window/lock switch houses individual master switches for each passenger door
power window.
The passenger side window/lock switch includes the following:
- Power Lock Switch - A two-way, momentary, resistor multiplexed switch to control the power lock
system.
- Power Window Switch - A two-way, momentary power window switch for the passenger side front
door.

Power Door Lock Switch: Description and Operation Power Lock Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The driver side window/lock switch combines a power lock switch, a driver power window switch
with an Auto-down feature, master switches for each passenger door power window, a power
window lockout switch, a power mirror selector switch, and four power mirror adjustment switches
in a single assembly. The switches in the window/lock switch can be diagnosed using conventional
diagnostic tools and methods.
Power Lock Switch
The power lock switch circuitry is connected in series between ground and the driver door switch
mux input of the instrument cluster (without memory). If equipped with the memory system, the
circuitry is connected to the memory mirror module. Each power lock switch position (Lock, Unlock,
and Neutral) provides a different resistance value to the instrument cluster or memory mirror input,
which allows the instrument cluster or memory module to sense the switch position. Based upon
the power lock switch input, the instrument cluster or memory module controls the battery and
ground feed outputs to the individual power lock motors to lock or unlock the door latches. The
Light-Emitting Diode (LED) in the power lock switch is connected to battery current through the
power window circuit breaker in the Integrated Power Module (IPM) on a fused ignition switch
output (run-acc) circuit so that the switch will be illuminated whenever the ignition switch is in the
On or Accessory positions.
Power Window Switches
The power window switch circuitry is connected to battery current through a circuit breaker in the
Integrated Power Module (IPM) on a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit so that the power
windows will operate whenever the ignition switch is in the On or Accessory positions. Each
two-way, momentary master passenger power window switch in the window/lock switch provides
battery current and ground to the individual power window switches on each passenger door so
that the power window switch controls the battery current and ground feeds to its respective power
window motor. The switch for the driver side front door power window includes an auto-down
feature. When this switch is depressed to a second momentary detent position and released, the
driver door power window is automatically operated through an internal circuit and relay to its fully
lowered position. The Auto-down event is cancelled if the switch paddle is depressed a second
time in either the Up or Down direction. When the two position window lockout switch in the
window/lock switch is depressed and latched in the lockout position, the battery current feed to
each of the individual passenger power window switches is interrupted so that the passenger door
power windows can only be operated from the switches in the window/lock switch. The window
lockout switch also controls the battery current feed for the LED in each passenger power window
switch so that the switch will not be illuminated when it is locked out.

Power Door Lock Switch: Testing and Inspection
WINDOW/DOOR LOCK SWITCH
The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) illumination lamps for all of the window/lock switch power window
and power lock switches receive battery current through the circuit breaker in the Integrated Power
Module (IPM). If only one LED in the door module is inoperative, replace the faulty door module. If
the driver side front door power window operates in a normal manner, but the Auto-Down feature is
inoperative, replace the faulty window/lock switch. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable. Remove the window/lock switch from the door
trim panel. Disconnect the door wire electrical
connectors from the switch.
2. Test the switch continuity. See the Switch Tests chart to determine if the continuity is correct for
the suspect switches in each switch position. If
not OK, replace the faulty window/lock switch as required.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Power Mirror Switch - Description > Page 9411
Power Mirror Switch: Description and Operation Power Mirror Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The power mirror switch circuitry is connected to battery current through a fuse in the IPM on a
fused B(+) circuit so that the power mirrors remain operational regardless of the ignition switch
position. A rotary joystick selector switch has three positions, one to select the right mirror, one to
select the left mirror, and a center Off position. After the right or left mirror is selected, the joystick
is moved to move the selected mirror Up, Down, Right or Left. In vehicles without Memory Mirrors
the power mirror switch circuitry controls the battery current and ground feeds to each of the four
(two in each mirror head) power mirror motors. In vehicles with Memory Mirrors the mirror switch
connects to the driver power mirror module. The driver memory mirror module uses the mirror
switch inputs to control the battery current and ground feeds to driver mirror motor and sends a
CAN Bus message to the passenger mirror module. The passenger mirror module controls the
battery current and ground feeds to passenger mirror motors based on the CAN bus message from
the driver memory module.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Power Seat Switch - Description > Page 9426
Power Seat Switch: Description and Operation Power Seat Switch - Operation
OPERATION
When a power seat switch is actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are applied through the
switch contacts to the power seat adjuster or recliner adjuster motor. The selected adjuster motor
operates to move the seat 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.
On vehicles equipped with memory system, a resistance signal is sent to the Memory Seat Module
(MSM) via the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus circuit, when the driver memory seat switch
control knob is actuated. The MSM is responsible for the 12v battery feed and ground path to the
power seat adjuster motor. The adjuster motor operates to move the power seat adjuster
mechanism through its drive unit in the selected direction until the switch is released, or until the
travel limit of the adjuster is reached.
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 may result in
motor damage.

Power Trunk / Liftgate Hazard Sensor: Description and Operation Pinch Sensor - Description
DESCRIPTION
Pinch sensors (2) are located on each side of the liftgate (1). 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 liftgate close cycle. The right side pinch sensor contains a thermistor that is integral to the
pinch sensor assembly. The thermistor is a temperature sensor used by the power liftgate control
module to enable proper liftgate operation in extreme climate conditions.

Power Trunk / Liftgate Hazard Sensor: Description and Operation Pinch Sensor - Operation
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.
The thermistor portion of the right pinch sensor provides the temperature signal to the power
liftgate control module (temperature is provided when the pinch sensor is in an unpinched
condition; when pinched, temperature is unavailable because the thermistor is shorted). As the
outside temperature increases, the resistance reading decreases. As temperature decreases, the
resistance reading increases.

RIGHT PINCH SENSOR/THERMISTOR
The thermistor portion of the right pinch sensor provides the temperature signal to the power

DESCRIPTION
The heated seat switches are both mounted in the instrument panel. The two switches are snapped
into mounting holes in the instrument panel center bezel (1). The two heated seat switches (2) and
(3) are identical in appearance and construction, except for the location of a keyway in the
connector receptacle on the back of each switch. The instrument panel wire harness connectors for
the heated seat switches are keyed to match the connector receptacles so that the two heated seat
switches can only be connected to the proper heated seat.
Each momentary, bidirectional rocker-type heated seat switch provides a resistor-multiplexed
signal to the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). Each switch has a center neutral position and
momentary Low and High positions so that the driver and the front seat passenger can select a
preferred seat heating level. Each heated seat switch has two Light-Emitting Diode (LED) indicator
lamps, which indicate the selected level (Low or High) of the seat heater. Each switch also has one
indicator lamp for back lighting of the switch when the ignition switch is in the Run position.
The five LED indicator lamps in each heated seat switch cannot be repaired. If the LED lamps are
faulty or damaged, or the switch is faulty or damaged the individual heated seat switch assembly
must be replaced.

Momentary contact push button switch/modules (2) mounted in the front face of the second row
center floor console (3) operate the heated second row seat system. Each heated seat
switch/module has two Light-Emitting Diode (LED) indicator lamps, which indicate the selected
level (Low or High) of the seat heater. Pressing the switch/module button initiates heat. Heat
remains on until switched off or until the ignition is turned off. If switched off by the ignition, a
switch/module button must be pressed to restart heating.
The switch/modules contain the solid state electronic control and diagnostic logic circuitry for the
heated second row seat system. If any of the heated second row seat elements are inoperative or
damaged one or more of the LED lamps in the switch/module for the effected seat will flash.
The LED indicator lamps in each heated seat switch/module cannot be repaired. If the LED lamps
are inoperative or damaged, or the switch/module is inoperative or damaged the individual heated
seat switch/module assembly must be replaced. See: Service and Repair/Heated Seat Switch Removal for the switch/module replacement procedure.

Seat Heater Switch: Description and Operation Heated Seat Switch - Operation
Front
OPERATION
The heated seat switches receive battery current through a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
when the ignition switch is in the On position. Depressing the heated seat switch rocker to its
momentary High or Low position provides a hard-wired resistor multiplexed signal to the Cabin
Compartment Node (CCN). The CCN is responsible for supplying the CAN bus message to the
heated seat module, signaling the module to power the heated seat element of the selected seat
and maintain the temperature setting.
If the heated seat switch is depressed to a different position (Low or High) than the currently
selected state, the CCN will go through the process again to change the temperature setting. If a
heated seat switch is depressed a second time to the same position as the currently selected state,
the CCN and heated seat module interprets the second input as a request to turn the seat heater
OFF. The CCN will then signal the heated seat module to turn the heated seat elements for that
seat off.
The backlighting LED's in each of the heated seat switches receive battery current through a fused
ignition switch output (run) circuit when the ignition switch is in the On position. The ground side of
the indicator lamp is divided by a separate lamp driver circuit in the CCN.
Second Row
OPERATION
A Heated Seat Switch/Module is used to control the heated second row seat system. The heated
seat switch/modules receive battery current through a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
when the ignition switch is in the On position. The switch/module responds to heated seat
switch/module button input and ignition switch status inputs by controlling the 12v output to the
front seat heating elements through integral solid-state relays.
When either of the heated seat switch/module buttons are depressed the heating element for the
selected seat is energized. Amber Light Emitting Diodes (LEDS) on the side of each switch/module
indicate the level of heat in use: Two LEDs are illuminated for high, one for low, and none for off.
Pressing the switch/module button once will select high-level heating. Pressing the button a second
time will select low-level heating. Pressing the button a third time will shut the heating elements off.
The heated seat switch/module energizes an integral solid-state relay, which supplies battery
current to the heating elements. When high-temperature heating is selected, the heaters provide a
boosted heat level during the first four minutes of operation after heating is activated. The heat
output then drops to the normal high-temperature level. If high-level heating is selected, the control
system will automatically switch to the low level after thirty minutes of continuous operation. At that
time, the number of illuminated LEDs changes from two to one, indicating the change. Operation
on the low setting will continue for another thirty minutes and the system will then be automatically
turned off.

LIFTGATE
A liftgate ajar switch is standard equipment on this vehicle. The switch is concealed within and
integral to the liftgate latch unit. The switch is a momentary leaf contact-type unit that is actuated by
the liftgate latch mechanisms. An integral connector receptacle on the liftgate latch connects the
liftgate ajar switch to the vehicle electrical system through the liftgate wire harness.
The liftgate ajar switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the liftgate
latch unit must be replaced. See: Doors, Hood and Trunk/Trunk / Liftgate/Trunk / Liftgate

LIFTGATE
The liftgate ajar switch is actuated by the liftgate latch mechanism. When the liftgate is closed and
properly latched, its liftgate ajar switch is an open circuit. When the liftgate is open or only partially
latched, the liftgate ajar switch is a closed circuit. The liftgate ajar switch is hard wired in series
between a body ground and the Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the
Cab Compartment Node/CCN). The EMIC reads the hard wired liftgate ajar switch input through an
internal pull-up, then uses this input to control many electronic functions and features of the
vehicle.
The liftgate ajar switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Trunk / Liftgate Switch: Description and Operation Exterior Handle Switch - Installation
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with a power liftgate exterior handle switch. The switch is integral to the
power liftgate latch assembly. It is activated by the exterior handle, located in the license plate light
bar, through a mechanical link rod attaching the two together. The power liftgate exterior handle
switch is primarily used for manual opening of the liftgate. Activation of the switch during a
automatic power "close" cycle will cause the liftgate to reverse direction. Activation of the switch
during a power "open" cycle will cause the power liftgate to disengage, allowing full manual
operation.
The exterior handle cannot be adjusted or repaired and if damaged it must be replaced. See:
Doors, Hood and Trunk/Trunk / Liftgate/Trunk / Liftgate Handle/Service and Repair/Exterior Handle
- Removal.
The power liftgate exterior handle switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and if damaged or
inoperative the complete power liftgate latch assembly must be replaced. See: Doors, Hood and
Trunk/Trunk / Liftgate/Trunk / Liftgate Latch/Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement/Power

Trunk / Liftgate Switch: Description and Operation Exterior Handle Switch - Removal
OPERATION
When the exterior liftgate handle is pulled, a mechanical linkage inside the liftgate depresses the
power liftgate exterior handle switch in the power liftgate latch assembly. A hard-wired signal is
then detected by the Power Liftgate Control Module. The power liftgate control module then looks
at the vehicle lock status on the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. If the vehicle is not
locked and the operating conditions are met, the power liftgate control module then applies power
to the latch mounted motor, which moves the liftgate from the primary closed and latched position
to the open and movable position.
If the liftgate is not pulled open within seven seconds, once the latch releases, the latch will
automatically cinch closed.

OPERATION
Battery voltage is supplied to the power liftgate system through a fuse, located in the Integrated
Power Module (IPM) assembly. When the power liftgate switch is pushed, a hardwired signal is
sent to the Power Liftgate Control Module. The power liftgate control module then interprets the
information to confirm safety requirements are met before applying power to the power liftgate drive
unit to start a power cycle.
During a power liftgate open or close cycle, if the power liftgate control module detects sufficient
resistance to liftgate travel, such as an obstruction in the liftgate's path. The control module will
immediately stop liftgate movement and reverse the direction of travel to the full open or closed
position.

Cruise Control Switch: Description and Operation Speed Control Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
Two separate switch pods operate the speed control system. The steering-wheel-mounted
switches use multiplexed circuits to provide inputs to the PCM for ON, OFF, RESUME,
ACCELERATE, SET, DECEL and CANCEL modes. Refer to the Owner's Manual for more
information on speed control switch functions and setting procedures.
The individual switches cannot be repaired. If one switch fails, the entire switch module must be
replaced.

> Speed Control Switch - Description > Page 9572
Cruise Control Switch: Description and Operation Speed Control Switch - Operation
OPERATION
When speed control is selected by depressing the ON, OFF switch, the PCM allows a set speed to
be stored in its RAM for speed control. To store a set speed, depress the SET switch while the
vehicle is moving at a speed between approximately 35 (56.2kph) and 85 mph (136.8kph). 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.
The speed control can be disengaged also by any of the following conditions:
- An indication of Park or Neutral (auto. trans.)
- The VSS signal increases at a rate of 10 mph (16 kph) per second (indicates that the co-efficient
of friction between the road surface and tires is extremely low)
- Depressing the clutch pedal (manual trans.).
- Excessive engine rpm (indicates that the transmission may be in a low gear)
- The VSS signal decreases at a rate of 10 mph (16 kph) per second (indicates that the vehicle
may have decelerated at an extremely high rate)
- If the actual speed is not within 20 mph (32.1 kph) of the set speed
The previous disengagement conditions are programmed for added safety. Once the speed control
has been disengaged, depressing the ACCEL switch restores the vehicle to the target speed that
was stored in the PCM's RAM
NOTE: Depressing the OFF switch will erase the set speed stored in the PCM's RAM.
If, while the speed control is engaged, the driver wishes to increase vehicle speed, the PCM is
programmed for an acceleration feature. With the ACCEL switch held closed, the vehicle
accelerates slowly to the desired speed. The new target speed is stored in the PCM's RAM when
the ACCEL switch is released. The PCM also has a "tap-up" feature in which vehicle speed
increases at a rate of approximately 2 mph (3.2 kph) for each momentary switch activation of the
ACCEL switch.
The PCM also provides a means to decelerate without disengaging speed control. To decelerate
from an existing recorded target speed, depress and hold the COAST switch until the desired
speed is reached. Then release the switch. The ON, OFF switch operates two components: the
PCM's ON, OFF input, and the battery voltage to the brake switch.

ABS Light: Description and Operation ABS Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
An Antilock Brake System (ABS) indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This
indicator serves both the standard equipment Rear Wheel Anti-Lock (RWAL) and optional
equipment 4-Wheel Anti-Lock (4WAL) brake systems. This indicator is located near the upper edge
of the instrument cluster, between the tachometer and the speedometer.
The ABS indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol
icon for Failure of Anti-lock Braking System in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay.
The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The ABS indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

ABS Light: Description and Operation ABS Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The ABS indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the ABS system, or a circuit or
component of the system is ineffective. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument
cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the
cluster from the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The ABS indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED is
always be off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the ABS indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the ON position the ABS indicator illuminates for
about four seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the CAB.
- ABS Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic ABS indicator
lamp-on message from the CAB, the ABS indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated
until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the CAB, or until the ignition switch turns to the
OFF position, whichever occurs first.
Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-on or lamp-off messages from the CAB for
five consecutive message cycles, the ABS indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated
until the cluster receives a valid message from the CAB, or until the ignition switch turns to the OFF
position, whichever occurs first.
- Self Test - Each time the instrument cluster is put through the self test, the ABS indicator turns on,
then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and
the cluster control circuitry.
- ABS Diagnostic Test - The ABS indicator blinks on and off by lamp-on and lamp-off messages
from the CAB during the performance of the ABS diagnostic tests.
The CAB continually monitors the ABS circuits and sensors to decide whether the system is in
good operating condition. The CAB then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the
instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). If the CAB sends a lamp-on
message after the bulb test, it indicates that the CAB has detected a system malfunction or that the
ABS system has become ineffective. The CAB stores a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any
malfunction it detects. Each time the ABS indicator fails to light due to an open or short in the
cluster ABS indicator circuit, the cluster sends a message notifying the CAB of the condition, then
the instrument cluster and the CAB each store a DTC.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the antilock brake system, the CAB, the CCN,
the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to ABS indicator operation. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Chime Warning System
CHIME WARNING SYSTEM
A chime warning system is standard factory-installed equipment. The chime warning system uses
an electromechanical transducer and an electromechanical relay that are soldered onto the
electronic circuit board of the instrument cluster (1). This warning system provides audible
indications of various vehicle conditions that may require the attention of the vehicle operator or
occupants. The instrument cluster also includes the hardware and software necessary to serve as
the electronic body control module and is sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node
(CCN).
The electromechanical transducer generates beep tones and chime tones, while the
electromechanical relay generates click tones to emulate the sounds associated with conventional
turn signal and hazard warning flasher operation. The microprocessor-based CCN uses electronic
chime request messages received from other modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area
Network (CAN) data bus, along with hardwired inputs to monitor many sensors and switches
throughout the vehicle. In response to those inputs, the circuitry and programming of the CCN
allow it to control the audible outputs that are produced through its on-board transducer and relay.
The CCN is capable of producing the following audible outputs:
- Slow-Rate Repetitive Click - Repeated click tones generated at a rate of 50 clicks per minute.
- Fast-Rate Repetitive Click - Repeated click tones generated at a rate of 100 clicks per minute.
- Fixed Duration Beep - A short, sharp, single beep tone.
- Single Chime Tone - A single chime tone.
- Slow-Rate Repetitive Chime - Repeated chime tones generated at a rate of 50 chimes per
minute.
Fast-Rate Repetitive Chime - Repeated chime tones generated at a rate of 180 chimes per minute.
Hardwired circuitry connects the CCN and the various chime warning system switch and sensor
inputs to their modules and to each other through the electrical system of the vehicle. These
hardwired 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 CCN through the use of a combination of soldered splices,
splice block connectors, and many different types of wire harness terminal connectors and
insulators. 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 CCN chime warning system circuits and components cannot be adjusted or repaired. If any of
the circuitry, the on-board transducer or the relay are damaged or ineffective, the instrument cluster
assembly must be replaced.

PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
A park assist system is an optional factory-installed electronic parking aid. During parking and other
similar vehicle maneuvers this system alerts the vehicle operator to obstacles located in the path
immediately behind the vehicle which, due to the surrounding rear vehicle structure, might be
otherwise difficult to perceive. When an object is detected, the system uses an electromechanical
transducer and Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicators within the park assist display unit to provide
the vehicle operator with visual and audible indications of the presence and proximity of such
objects.
The park assist system includes the following major components, which are described in further
detail elsewhere in this service information:
- Electronic Vehicle Information Center (1) - In vehicles equipped with the optional park assist
system, the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) in the overhead console displays textual
warnings and error messages and emits audible warnings related to the current operating status of
the park assist system and provides an interface that allows the vehicle operator to manually
disable or enable the system using the customer programmable features option.
- Park Assist Display (3) - Vehicles equipped with the park assist system have a park assist display
unit mounted in the rear of the headliner just forward of the liftgate opening. The body of the display
is concealed above the headliner where it is secured by a retainer on the back of the headliner
substrate. Only the narrow, oval-shaped smoked clear lens of the display is visible on the outer
surface of the headliner.
- Park Assist Module (2) - Vehicles equipped with the park assist system include a park assist
module which is secured through integral mounting tabs by push-in type fasteners to the quarter
inner panel above the left rear wheel housing where it is concealed beneath the quarter inner trim
panel.
- Park Assist Sensors (4) - Vehicles equipped with the park assist system have four ultrasonic park
assist sensors that are concealed behind the rear bumper fascia. Each sensor is snapped into an
individual molded plastic mounting bracket located at horizontal intervals along the back side of the
rear bumper fascia.
Hard wired circuitry connects the various park assist 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 and to the vehicle electrical system through the use of a
combination of soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many different types of wire harness
terminal connectors and insulators. 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 park assist system components cannot be adjusted or repaired. If any of the park assist
system components is damaged or ineffective, that component must be replaced.

Audible Warning Device: Description and Operation Chime/Buzzer - Operation
Chime Warning System
CHIME WARNING SYSTEM
The chime warning system operates on battery voltage received through a fuse in the Junction
Block (JB) on a non switched fused B(+) circuit so that the system may operate regardless of the
ignition switch position. The chime warning system also monitors the ignition switch position so that
some chime features are functional only with the ignition switch in the ON position, while others are
functional regardless of the ignition switch position.
The chime warning system provides an audible indication to the vehicle operator or occupants
under the following conditions:
- Airbag Indicator Warning - The instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node
(CCN) transducer generates one short chime when the ignition switch is in the ON position, and an
electronic message is received over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus from the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) requesting airbag indicator illumination. This warning only
occurs following completion of the airbag indicator bulb test, and only occurs once during any
ignition cycle.
- Door Ajar Indicator Warning - The CCN transducer generates one short chime when the ignition
switch is in the ON position, a hardwired input is received indicating that the status of any door ajar
switch has changed, and an electronic message is received over the CAN data bus indicating that
the vehicle is moving.
- Electronic Stability Program/Brake Assist System Warning - The CCN transducer generates one
short chime when the Electronic Stability Program (ESP)/Brake Assist System (BAS) has been
manually disabled by the vehicle operator using the ESP/BAS traction control switch on the
instrument panel.
- Electronic Stability Program/Brake Assist System Fault Warning - The CCN transducer generates
one short chime each time the Electronic Stability Program (ESP)/Brake Assist System (BAS)
indicator is illuminated in the instrument cluster. This warning indicates a failure condition has been
monitored affecting the operation of the ESP/BAS related components or circuits. This warning only
occurs following completion of the ESP/BAS indicator bulb test, and only occurs once during any
ignition cycle.
- Electronic Vehicle Information Center Data Reset - The CCN transducer generates one short
chime when the ignition switch is in the ON position, and an electronic message is received over
the CAN data bus from the optional Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) requesting that
the EVIC average fuel economy, trip odometer, distance to empty or customer programmable
features data be reset. The EVIC monitors hardwired inputs from the EVIC control push button
switches to determine the proper reset messages to send to the CCN.
Fasten Seat Belt Indicator Warning- The CCN transducer repetitive chimes at a slow rate to
announce that a hardwired input from the seatbelt switch indicates that the driver side front seat
belt is not fastened with the ignition switch in the ON position. The chime warning system also
supports the enhanced seatbelt reminder (beltminder) when this feature is enabled. See: Seat Belt
Reminder Lamp/Description and Operation/Seat Belt Warning Lamp - Operation.
- Gate Ajar Indicator Warning - The CCN transducer generates one short chime when the ignition
switch is in the ON position, a hardwired input is received indicating that the status of the liftgate
ajar switch has changed, and an electronic message is received over the CAN data bus indicating
that the vehicle is moving.
- Head/Park Lamps-On Warning - The CCN transducer will generate repetitive chimes at a fast rate
to indicate that hard wired inputs from the driver door ajar switch, the headlamp switch, and the
ignition switch indicate that the exterior lamps are turned on with the driver side front door opened
and the ignition switch in the OFF position. The chimes continues to sound until the exterior lamps
are turned off, the driver side front door is closed, or the ignition switch is turned to the ON position,
whichever occurs first.
- Key-In-Ignition Warning - The CCN transducer generates repetitive chimes at a fast rate to
indicate that hardwired inputs from the driver door ajar switch, the ignition switch, and the key-in
ignition switch circuitry of the ignition switch indicate that the key is in the ignition lock cylinder with
the driver side front door open and the ignition switch in the OFF position. The chimes continues to
sound until the key is removed from the ignition lock cylinder, the driver side front door is closed, or
the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, whichever occurs first.
- Low Fuel Indicator Warning - The CCN transducer generates one short chime when the low fuel
indicator is illuminated by the instrument cluster circuitry. This chime only occurs once during any
ignition cycle.
- Low Wash Indicator Warning - The CCN transducer generates one short chime when the low
washer fluid indicator is illuminated by the instrument cluster circuitry. This chime only occurs once
during any ignition cycle.
- Overspeed Warning - The CCN transducer generates repetitive chimes at a slow rate to indicate
that the vehicle speed is over a pre-programmed speed value. The CCN monitors electronic
vehicle speed messages received over the CAN data bus. This feature is only enabled on a CCN
that has been programmed with a Middle East Gulf Coast Country (GCC) country code.
- Park Brake Reminder - The CCN transducer generates one short chime to announce that the
hardwired input from the park brake switch and an electronic vehicle speed message received over
the CAN data bus indicate that the park brake is applied and the vehicle is moving. This chime
repeats each time the input conditions are met.
Sentry Key Customer Learn Mode Announcement - The CCN transducer generates one short
chime to confirm that an electronic Customer Learn mode message has been received over the
CAN data bus to indicate that the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) is prepared for
programming additional sentry key transponders. This chime feature is only active on vehicles
equipped with the optional Sentry Key system, and sold in a market where Customer Learn
programming is an allowed feature.
- Transmission Overtemp Indicator Warning- The CCN transducer generates repetitive chimes at a
slow rate when the transmission overtemp indicator is illuminated by the instrument cluster circuitry
for a high or critical transmission fluid temperature condition. This chime repeats each time the
trans overtemp indicator is cycled from off to on.
- Turn Signal/Hazard Warning Flasher Emulation - The CCN relay generates repetitive clicks at a
slow rate to emulate an electromechanical
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Audible Warning Device > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Chime/Buzzer - Description > Page 9623
flasher when the turn signal or hazard warning system are operating. The relay generates repetitive
clicks at a fast rate to indicate that the right or left turn signal are operating with one or more bulbs
ineffective. In either case, the clicks continues until the turn signal and hazard warning systems are
turned off.
- Turn Signal On Warning - The CCN transducer generates repetitive chimes at a slow rate to
indicate that a turn signal has been active continuously for 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) with the vehicle
speed greater than 22 kilometers-per-hour (15 miles-per hour). Vehicles built for markets other
than the United States and Canada have a revised distance threshold of 4 kilometers (2.49 miles)
for this feature. The chime continues until the turn signal input becomes inactive or until the
electronic vehicle speed message indicates that the speed is less than 22 kilometers-per-hour (15
miles-per-hour), whichever occurs first. The hazard warning flashers will not activate this chime
feature.
- Warning Indicator Announcement - The CCN transducer generates one short chime each time the
check gauges indicator is illuminated by the instrument cluster circuitry. The check gauges
indicator may be illuminated when any critical engine or transmission systems are operating
outside of their normal parameters. The instrument cluster monitors electronic messages received
over the CAN data bus to determine when to illuminate the check gauges indicator.
The CCN provides chime service for all available features in the chime warning system. The CCN
relies upon its internal programming, numerous hardwired inputs, and electronic message inputs
received from other modules over the CAN data bus network to provide the chime warning system
features. The internal programming of the CCN determines the priority of each chime request input
that is received, as well as the rate and duration of each chime that is to be generated.
The hardwired circuits between components related to the chime warning system may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. 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.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the chime
warning system or the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices
that provide some features of the chime warning system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the chime warning system or the electronic controls and communication related
to chime warning system operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.
Park Assist System
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
The park assist system is active only when the ignition switch is in the ON or START positions, the
parking brake is released, the transmission gear selector lever is in either the REVERSE position
and the vehicle speed is less than 16 kph (10 mph) or, the DRIVE position and the vehicle speed is
less than 14 kph (8 mph) on deceleration, or 18 kph (12 mph) on acceleration. In vehicles equipped
with this option, the system is enabled from the factory as a default. The system can be manually
disabled and enabled by the vehicle operator using the customer programmable features option of
the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) in the overhead console.
Reasons for disabling the system include trailer towing and off road use. With a trailer attached to
the vehicle the audible and visible park assist alerts would be incessant whenever the gear selector
lever was in the REVERSE position due to the proximity of the trailer to the rear of the vehicle.
Similarly, operating the vehicle off road may cause the park assist alerts to become distracting due
to the proximity of large trees or boulders and the extreme rear approach angles that may be
encountered while maneuvering on off road trails or terrain. When the system is disabled, a PARK
ASSIST DISABLED textual message will appear in the EVIC display whenever the gear selector
lever is in the REVERSE position.
The microprocessor based park assist module is the central component of the park assist system.
It supplies voltage to the park assist sensors and the park assist display, receives and analyzes
data from the sensors, calculates and communicates the proper display information to the park
assist display, performs system diagnostics, and communicates with other electronic modules in
the vehicle or with a diagnostic scan tool over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. The
module operates on battery voltage received through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB), and is
grounded through a take out and eyelet terminal of the body wire harness that is secured by a
screw to the left inner D-pillar.
Four ultrasonic park assist sensors in the rear bumper fascia allow the park assist system to locate
and identify the proximity of nearby obstacles. These sensors each generate ultrasonic sound
pulses when triggered by the park assist module, then signal the module when an echo of the
reflected sound pulses is received. The detection distance range from the rear of the vehicle is
about 0.3 meters (11.8 inches) to about 2.0 meters (80 inches), and the detection height range
from the ground is about 0.2 meters (7.8 inches) to about 0.8 meters (31 inches). The detection
area extends somewhat around both rear sides (corners) of the vehicle.
The park assist display unit provides the vehicle operator with both visible and audible warnings
indicating the relative range of a detected object. The display is visible to the vehicle operator over
an inboard shoulder when looking rearward while backing the vehicle up, but is not visible in a
properly adjusted inside rear view mirror when looking forward. The display contains two sets of
eight Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicator units, one set dedicated to each side of the vehicle, and
an audible chime tone transducer. The LED units are concealed beneath a smoked oval lens and
are not clearly visible when they are not illuminated. When the park assist system is active and no
obstacles are detected (stand-by mode), the two rectangular amber LED units in the display are
illuminated at a reduced intensity to provide visual confirmation that the system is operating.
The display provides a visual indication of a detected object and its proximity by illuminating one or
more LED indicators, beginning with the outer most round amber indicators and moving toward the
center of the display as the vehicle gets closer to the object. As the vehicle comes to within about
200 centimeters (about 78.7 inches) of the object, one or both of the inner most rectangular amber
LED indicators illuminate at full intensity and the display

emits a single half-second audible beep. As the vehicle comes to within about 50 centimeters (19.7
inches) of the object, all of the amber indicators and the first red LED indicator are illuminated and
the display emits a series of short, intermittent, audible beeps. If the audio system is turned ON, the
audio output will be muted automatically while the park assist audible warning is being generated.
The audible warning changes from intermittent beeps to a continuous tone as the final red indicator
is illuminated and the vehicle comes to within 30 centimeters (11.8 inches) of a detected object.
When the park assist module monitors a problem in any of the park assist system circuits or
components, it stores a fault code or Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in its memory circuit,
illuminates all four red LED units in the park assist display, sends an electronic message to the
EVIC, and a SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM textual message is displayed in the EVIC display.
The hard wired circuits between components related to the park assist system may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. 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.

Brake Warning Indicator: Description and Operation Brake/Parking Brake Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A brake indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located in the
center of the speedometer, in the area below and right of the speedometer needle hub.
The brake indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the word BRAKE (all clusters with a
miles-per-hour primary speedometer scale), or the International Control and Display Symbol icon
for Brake Failure (all clusters with a kilometers-per-hour primary scale) in the opaque layer of the
instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the
opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer
layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The brake indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Brake Warning Indicator: Description and Operation Brake/Parking Brake Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The brake indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the parking brake is applied,
when there are certain brake hydraulic system malfunctions as indicated by a low brake hydraulic
fluid level condition, or when the brake fluid level switch is disconnected. The brake indicator can
also give an indication when certain faults are detected in the Antilock Brake System (ABS). This
indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster
programming, electronic messages received by the cluster from the Controller Antilock Brake
(CAB) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus, and a hard wired input from the park
brake switch.
The brake indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED is
always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the brake indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the ON position the brake indicator illuminates
for about four seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the CAB.
- Brake Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic brake indicator
lamp-on message from the CAB, the brake indicator illuminates. The CAB may also send lamp-on
messages as feedback during ABS diagnostic procedures. The indicator remains illuminated until
the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the CAB, or until the ignition switch is turned to the
OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Park Brake Switch Input - Each time the cluster detects ground on the park brake switch sense
circuit (park brake switch closed = park brake applied or not fully released) while the ignition switch
is in the ON position, the brake indicator flashes on and off. The indicator continues to flash until
the park brake switch sense input to the cluster is an open circuit (park brake switch open = park
brake fully released), or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs
first.
- Self Test - Each time the instrument cluster is put through the self test, the brake indicator turns
on, then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED
and the cluster control circuitry.
The park brake switch on the park brake pedal mechanism provides a hardwired ground input to
the instrument cluster circuitry through the park brake switch sense circuit whenever the park brake
is applied or not fully released. The CAB continually monitors the ABS system circuits and sensors,
including the brake fluid level switch on the brake master cylinder reservoir, to decide whether the
system is in good operating condition. The CAB then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off
message to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). If the CAB
sends a lamp-on message after the bulb test, it indicates that the CAB has detected a brake
hydraulic system malfunction or that the ABS system has become ineffective. The CAB stores a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any malfunction it detects.
For further diagnosis of the brake indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED,
See: Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection. Use conventional diagnostic tools and
procedures for the hardwired park brake switch input to the instrument cluster. Refer to the
appropriate wiring information. Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the brake fluid
level switch, the ABS, the CAB, the CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication
related to brake indicator operation. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Brake Warning Indicator: Description and Operation Regenerative Brake Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A Regenerative Brake System (RBS) indicator is only found in the instrument clusters of vehicles
equipped with the optional Hybrid Electrical Vehicle (HEV) system. This indicator is located below
the minor gauge set on the left side of the cluster.
The RBS indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol
icon for Failure of Anti-lock Braking System in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay,
but with the letter R replacing the letter A in the ABS acronym. The dark outer layer of the overlay
prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting
Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in
amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the
LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The RBS indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Brake Warning Indicator: Description and Operation Regenerative Brake Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The Regenerative Brake System (RBS) indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when
the RBS system, or a circuit or component of the system is ineffective. This indicator is controlled
by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and
electronic messages received by the cluster from the Regenerative Brake Controller (RBC) (also
known as the Controller Antilock Brake/CAB) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The RBS indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED is
always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the RBS indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turns to the on position the RBS indicator is illuminated
for about four seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the RBC.
- RBS Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic RBS indicator
lamp-on message from the RBC, the RBS indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated
until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the RBC, or until the ignition switch turns to the
OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-on or lamp-off messages from the RBC for
five consecutive message cycles, the RBS indicator is illuminated. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a valid message from the RBC, or until the ignition switch is
turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Self Test - Each time the instrument cluster is put through the self test, the RBS indicator turns
on, then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED
and the cluster control circuitry.
- RBS Diagnostic Test - The RBS indicator is blinked on and off by lamp-on and lamp-off messages
from the RBC during the performance of the RBS diagnostic tests.
The RBC continually monitors the RBS circuits and sensors to decide whether the system is in
good operating condition. The RBC then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the
instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). If the RBC sends a lamp-on
message after the bulb test, it indicates that the RBC has detected a system malfunction or that the
RBS system has become ineffective. The RBC stores a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any
malfunction it detects. Each time the RBS indicator fails to light due to an open or short in the
cluster RBS indicator circuit, the cluster sends a message notifying the RBC of the condition, then
the instrument cluster and the RBC will each store a DTC.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the regenerative brake system, the RBC, the
CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to RBS indicator operation. Refer
to the appropriate diagnostic information.

BRAKE INDICATOR
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before
attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or
instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery
(ground) cable. Wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further
diagnosis or service. On vehicles equipped with the optional Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system,
a technician trained in proper HEV service safety procedures must also remove the high voltage
service disconnect from the high voltage battery pack. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS.
Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
The hardwired park brake switch input to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab
Compartment Node, (CCN) may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire harness 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.
However, conventional diagnostic methods may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the CCN,
the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB), the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus or the electronic
message inputs also used by the CCN to provide brake indicator operation. The most reliable,
efficient and accurate means to diagnose the CCN, the CAB, the CAN data bus or the electronic
communication related to brake indicator operation, requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Charge Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Charging Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A charging indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located near
the upper edge of the instrument cluster, between the tachometer and the speedometer.
The charging indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display
Symbol icon for Battery Charging Condition in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay.
The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay
causes the indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is
illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board.
The charging indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Charge Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Charging Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The charging indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the electrical system
voltage is too low or too high. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster
circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster
from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The charging indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED is
always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the charging indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the on position the charging indicator is
illuminated by the instrument cluster for about two seconds as a bulb test.
- Voltage Low Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic system voltage message
from the PCM indicating the voltage is low (less than about 11.5 volts is a charge fail condition), the
charging indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a
message from the PCM indicating the voltage is normal (greater than about 12.0 volts, but less
than 16.0 volts), or until the ignition switch turns to the off position, whichever occurs first.
- Voltage High Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic system voltage message
from the PCM indicating the voltage is high (greater than about 16.0 volts), the charging indicator
illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a message from the PCM
indicating the voltage is normal (less than about 15.5 volts, but greater than 11.5 volts), or until the
ignition switch turns to the off position, whichever occurs first.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the charging indicator turns on, then
off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the
cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the electrical system voltage to control the generator output. The
PCM then sends the proper messages to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab
Compartment Node (CCN). If the instrument cluster turns on the charging indicator due to a charge
fail or voltage high condition, it may indicate that the charging system requires service. For further
diagnosis of the charging indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the indicator,
See: Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the charging system, the PCM, the CCN, the
CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to charging indicator operation. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
Chrysler 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 Chrysler
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. All switches,
components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and the key
removed from the ignition. 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.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
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.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9657
- 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.
- 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. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
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
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory 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.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9658
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.

NOTE: Whenever the compass is calibrated manually, the variance number must also be reset.
See: Driver/Vehicle Information
Display/Adjustments for the appropriate procedure.
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 the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) displays "CAL", perform the following manual
calibration procedure. Also, any time EVIC service replacement components are installed, they
must be 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.
Calibrate the compass manually as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the On/Run position. Press and release the MENU push button (1)
until "Personal Settings" is displayed. 2. Press the STEP push button (2) until "Calibrate Compass
YES" is displayed. 3. Momentarily depress and release the RESET push button (4) to initiate the
calibration procedure. The message "CAL will appear in the Compass
/Temperature display.
4. Slowly drive the vehicle on a level surface, away from large metal objects and power lines,
through one or two complete circles not exceeding 8
km/h (5 mph). The "CAL" message will disappear from the display to indicate that the compass is
now calibrated.
NOTE: A blank compass display indicates that vehicle degaussing (demagnetizing) may be
necessary.
NOTE: If the "CAL" message remains in the display, either there is excessive magnetism near the
compass, or the EVIC is inoperative.
Attempt the calibration procedure at least one more time before performing EVIC diagnosis.
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 manual calibration procedure in another location.

Compass: Adjustments Compass Variance Adjustment
COMPASS VARIANCE ADJUSTMENT
Variance Settings Map
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 must be set.
NOTE: If the vehicle is taken on long trips into a new variance zone the compass function may be
effected. Compass variance may need to be
adjusted to the new zone number to function properly.
NOTE: The default for the compass variance from the factory is 8.
To set the compass variance:
1. Using the Variance Settings Map, find your geographic location and note the zone number.

Compass: Service and Repair
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.
To demagnetize the roof panel proceed as follows:
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. 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, See: Adjustments/Compass Variance
Adjustment.

Cruise Control Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Cruise Control Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A cruise indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not
equipped with the optional speed control system, this indicator is electronically disabled. The cruise
indicator is located below the minor gauge set on the left side of the cluster.
The cruise indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the word CRUISE in the opaque layer of the
instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A green Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in
the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in green through the translucent
outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
When the exterior lighting is turned ON the illumination intensity of the cruise indicator is dimmable,
which is adjusted along with the cluster general illumination lighting using the panel lamps dimmer
thumbwheel on the headlamp switch.
The cruise indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Cruise Control Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Cruise Control Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The cruise indicator indicates to the driver when the speed control system is on, regardless of
whether or not the speed control is engaged. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the
instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received
by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN)
data bus.
The cruise indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit, and that logic only allows this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives
a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED is
always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns the cruise indicator on for the following reasons:
- Cruise Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic cruise indicator
lamp-on message from the PCM indicating the speed control system is on, the cruise indicator is
illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from
the PCM or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the cruise indicator is turned on, then
off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the
cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the speed control switches to determine the appropriate outputs to
control the vehicle speed. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the
instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the
cruise indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, See: Instrument Cluster /
Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
A diagnostic scan tool is required for proper diagnosis of the speed control system, the PCM, the
CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to cruise indicator operation. Refer
to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Door/Trunk Ajar Indicator/Lamp: Description and Operation Door Ajar Warning Indicator Description
DESCRIPTION
A door ajar indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located
within the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. The door ajar indicator
consists of the text DOOR, which appears in place of the odometer/trip odometer information in the
odometer VFD unit. However, on vehicles equipped with the optional Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC), an additional International Standards Organization (ISO) symbol for an open door is
also provided by the EVIC.
The odometer VFD is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board, and is visible through a
window with a smoked clear lens located on the lower edge of the tachometer gauge dial face of
the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD prevents it from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. The door ajar indicator appears in the same blue-green color and at the same lighting
level as the odometer/trip odometer information when it is illuminated by the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The door ajar indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD in the instrument cluster.

Door/Trunk Ajar Indicator/Lamp: Description and Operation Door Ajar Warning Indicator Operation
OPERATION
The door ajar indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator that one or more of the
passenger compartment doors may be open or not completely latched. This indicator is controlled
by the instrument cluster logic circuit based upon cluster programming and hardwired inputs
received by the cluster from the door ajar switches located in each door latch unit.
The door ajar indicator function of the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) is completely controlled
by the instrument cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the
instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start)
circuit. Therefore, the VFD door ajar indication is always off when the ignition switch is in any
position except ON or START. The instrument cluster turns on the door ajar indicator for the
following reasons:
- Door Ajar switch input - Each time the cluster detects ground on any one of the door ajar switch
sense circuits (door ajar switch closed = door is open or not completely latched) the door ajar
indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated until all of the door ajar switch sense inputs
to the cluster are an open circuit (door ajar switch open = door fully closed), until the cluster has
completed an interior lamps load shed (about five minutes), or until the ignition switch turns to the
OFF position, whichever occurs first.
The instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN) continually monitors the
door ajar switches to determine the status of the doors. For further diagnosis of the door ajar
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the indicator, See: Instrument Cluster /
Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use conventional diagnostic tools and procedures for the hardwired door ajar switches and circuits
related to door ajar indicator operation. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

DOOR
This vehicle has four door ajar switches, one for each door. Each switch is concealed within and
integral to its respective door latch unit. The switches are momentary leaf contact-type units that
are actuated by the mechanisms internal to the door latch. A short pigtail wire and connector on
each door latch connects the door ajar switch to the vehicle electrical system through its respective
door wire harness.
The door ajar switches cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the door latch
unit must be replaced. See: Body and Frame/Doors, Hood and Trunk/Doors/Front Door/Front Door

Door Switch: Description and Operation Door Ajar Switch - Operation
DOOR
The door ajar switches are actuated by the mechanisms internal to the door latch. When a door is
closed and properly latched, its door ajar switch is an open circuit. When a door is open or only
partially latched, the door ajar switch is a closed circuit. The rear door ajar switches are hard wired
in series between a body ground and the Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also
known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). On vehicles not equipped with the optional memory
system, the front door ajar switches are also hard wired in series between ground and the EMIC.
On vehicles equipped with the optional memory system each front door ajar switch is hard wired in
series between ground and its respective driver or passenger Memory Mirror Module (MMM)
located in the front door. The MMM then sends electronic door ajar switch status messages to the
EMIC over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. Both the EMIC and the MMM read the
hard wired door ajar switch inputs through internal pull-ups, then use these inputs to control many
electronic functions and features of the vehicle.
The door ajar switches as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switches may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
Chrysler 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 Chrysler
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. All switches,
components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and the key
removed from the ignition. 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.

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

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol 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 from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
Testing Of Voltage Potential
TESTING OF VOLTAGE POTENTIAL
1. Connect the ground lead of a voltmeter to a known good ground. 2. Connect the other lead of
the voltmeter to the selected test point. The vehicle ignition may need to be turned ON to check
voltage. Refer to the
appropriate test procedure.

1. Remove the fuse (1) for the circuit being checked or, disconnect the battery. 2. Connect one lead
of the ohmmeter to one side of the circuit being tested 3. Connect the other lead to the other end of
the circuit being tested. Low or no resistance means good continuity.
Testing For A Short To Ground
TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Remove the fuse and disconnect all items involved with the fuse. 2. Connect a test light or a
voltmeter across the terminals of the fuse. 3. Starting at the fuse block, wiggle the wiring harness
about six to eight inches apart and watch the voltmeter/test lamp. 4. If the voltmeter registers
voltage or the test lamp glows, there is a short to ground in that general area of the wiring harness.
Testing For A Short To Ground On Fuses Powering Several Loads
TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND ON FUSES POWERING SEVERAL LOADS
1. Refer to the wiring diagrams and disconnect or isolate all items on the suspected fused circuits.
2. Replace the blown fuse. 3. Supply power to the fuse by turning ON the ignition switch or
re-connecting the battery. 4. Start connecting or energizing the items in the fuse circuit one at a
time. When the fuse blows the circuit with the short to ground has been isolated.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
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.
Dodge Durango 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L Hybrid (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Driver/Vehicle Information Display >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9715
- 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.
- 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. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
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
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory 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.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9716
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.

Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Description and Operation Liftgate Ajar Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A gate ajar indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located
within the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. The gate ajar indicator
consists of the text GATE, which appears in place of the odometer/trip odometer information in the
odometer VFD unit. However, on vehicles equipped with the optional Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC), an additional International Standards Organization (ISO) symbol for open liftgate is
also provided by the EVIC.
The odometer VFD is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board, and is visible through a
window with a smoked clear lens located on the lower edge of the tachometer gauge dial face of
the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD prevents it from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. The gate ajar indicator appears in the same blue-green color and at the same lighting
level as the odometer/trip odometer information when it is illuminated by the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The gate ajar indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD unit in the instrument cluster.

Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Description and Operation Liftgate Ajar Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The gate ajar indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator that the rear liftgate may be open
or not completely latched. This indicator is controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit based
upon cluster programming and a hardwired input received by the cluster from the liftgate ajar
switch integral to the liftgate latch unit.
The gate ajar indicator function of the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) is completely controlled
by the instrument cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the
instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start)
circuit. Therefore, the VFD gate ajar indication is always off when the ignition switch is in any
position except ON or START. The instrument cluster turns on the gate ajar indicator for the
following reasons:
- Liftgate Ajar Switch Input - Each time the cluster detects ground on the liftgate ajar switch sense
circuit (liftgate ajar switch closed = gate is open or not completely latched) the gate ajar indicator
illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated until the liftgate ajar switch sense input to the cluster
is an open circuit (liftgate ajar switch open = liftgate fully closed), until the cluster has completed an
interior lamps load shed (about five minutes), or until the ignition switch turns to the off position,
whichever occurs first.
The instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN) continually monitors the
liftgate ajar switch to determine the status of the liftgate. For further diagnosis of the liftgate ajar
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the indicator, See: Instrument Cluster /
Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use conventional diagnostic tools and procedures for the hardwired liftgate ajar switch and circuits
related to gate ajar indicator operation. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Description and Operation No Bus Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A no-bus indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The no-bus indication appears
within the fixed segment odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. The odometer no-bus
indicator consists of a textual No-BUS message that appears in place of the odometer/trip
odometer information.
The odometer VFD is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board and is visible through a
window with a smoked clear lens located at the base of the cluster overlay right gauge dial face,
(Dodge) or the tachometer dial face (Chrysler). The dark lens over the VFD prevents it from being
clearly visible when not illuminated. The no-bus textual message appears in the same blue-green
color and at the same lighting level as the other information displayed in the odometer VFD unit
when illuminated by the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
During daylight hours, (exterior lamps are off) the odometer VFD unit illuminates at full brightness
for clear visibility. At night (exterior lamps are on), the VFD lighting level adjusts with the other
cluster illumination lamps using the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel of the headlamp switch on
the instrument panel. However, a Parade mode position of the thumbwheel allows the VFD unit to
illuminate at full brightness if the exterior lamps are turned on during daylight hours.
The no-bus indicator is serviced as a unit with the odometer VFD unit in the instrument cluster.

Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Description and Operation No Bus Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The no-bus indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the electronic communication
data bus is ineffective. This indicator is controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit based upon
cluster programming and electronic messages not being received over the Controller Area Network
(CAN) data bus from the Front Control Module (FCM).
The no-bus indicator function of the odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit is
completely controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to
operate when the instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch
output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the odometer VFD no-bus indicator is always off when the
ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The instrument cluster turns ON the no bus
indicator for the following reasons:
- No Electronic Communication Messages - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position and the cluster does not receive electronic communication messages over the CAN data
bus, the no-bus indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated until CAN bus
communication is restored or until the ignition switch turns to the OFF position, whichever occurs
first.
The instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN) continually monitors the
CAN data bus to determine the status of many sensors and systems throughout the vehicle. If bus
communication is interrupted, the CCN cannot provide accurate displays and outputs.
Use a diagnostic scan tool is required for proper diagnosis of the no-bus indicator, the CCN, the
CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to no-bus indicator operation. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

No Fuse Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A no fuse indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The no fuse indication
appears within the odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. The no fuse indicator
consists of a textual noFUSE message which appears in place of the odometer information in the
odometer display.
The odometer VFD is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board, and is visible through a

No Fuse Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The no-fuse indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the Ignition Off Draw (IOD)
fuse is ineffective or is not installed. This indicator is controlled by the instrument cluster logic
circuit based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received over the Controller Area
Network (CAN) data bus from the Front Control Module (FCM).
The no-fuse indicator function of the odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit is

operate when the instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch
output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the odometer VFD no-fuse indication is always off when the
ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The instrument cluster turns on the no-fuse
indicator for the following reasons:
- No-Fuse indicator lamp-on message - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position
and the cluster receives an electronic no-fuse indicator lamp-on message from the FCM indicating
that the IOD fuse is missing or ineffective, the no-fuse indicator illuminates. The indicator remains
illuminated for about three seconds, until the IOD fuse installs, until the trip odometer reset switch
button pressed or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
The FCM continually monitors the IOD circuit to determine the status of the IOD fuse, then sends
the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab
Compartment Node (CCN) over the CAN data bus.
Use a diagnostic scan tool is required for proper diagnosis of the no-fuse indicator, the FCM, the

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Driver/Vehicle Information Display >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Liftgate Ajar Indicator - Description > Page 9730
DESCRIPTION
A service 4WD indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not
equipped with the optional four-wheel drive system and electronically shifted transfer case, this
indicator is electronically disabled. This indicator is located below the minor gauge set on the left
side of the cluster.
The service 4WD indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text SVC 4WD in the opaque layer
of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from
being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the
cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the
translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is
soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The service 4WD indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
Service 4WD Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The service 4WD indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the Front Control
Module (FCM) has recorded a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for an electronic transfer case
circuit or component malfunction. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument
cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the
cluster from the FCM over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The service 4WD indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED is always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the service 4WD indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the ON position the service 4WD indicator is
illuminated for about two seconds as a bulb test.
- Service 4WD Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic service
4WD indicator lamp-on message from the FCM, the service 4WD indicator illuminates. The
indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the FCM, or until
the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-ON or lamp-off messages from the FCM for
10 seconds, the service 4WD indicator is illuminated by the cluster to indicate a loss of FCM
communication. The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid
message is received from the FCM.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the service 4WD indicator turns on,
then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and
the cluster control circuitry.
The FCM continually monitors the electronic transfer case control circuits and transfer case shift
motor/mode sensor assembly to determine the condition of the system. The FCM then sends the
proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab
Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the service 4WD indicator or the instrument
cluster circuitry that controls the LED, See: Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the FCM, the CCN, the CAN data bus or the
electronic communication related to service 4WD indicator operation. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.
Transmission Temperature Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A transmission over-temperature indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This
indicator is located in the center of the speedometer, in the area above and to the right of the
speedometer needle hub.
The transmission over-temperature indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International
Control and Display Symbol icon for Transmission Temperature in the opaque layer of the
instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the
opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer
layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.

The transmission over-temperature indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
Transmission Temperature Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The transmission over-temperature indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the
transmission fluid temperature is excessive, which may lead to accelerated transmission
component wear or failure. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster
circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster
from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The transmission over-temperature indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by
the instrument cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the
instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start)
circuit. Therefore, the LED is always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or
START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster turns on the transmission over-temperature indicator for the
following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the transmission over
temperature indicator is illuminated for about two seconds as a bulb test.
- Trans Over-Temp Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic
transmission over temp indicator lamp-on message from the PCM indicating that the transmission
fluid temperature is 135 °C (275 °F) or higher, the indicator illuminates and a single chime tone is
sounded. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the
PCM, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. The chime
tone feature only repeats during the same ignition cycle if the indicator is cycled off and then on
again by the appropriate lamp-on and lamp-off messages from the PCM.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the transmission over temperature
indicator turns on, then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the
functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the transmission temperature sensor to determine the transmission
operating condition. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the
instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). If the instrument cluster
illuminates the transmission over temperature indicator due to a high transmission oil temperature
condition, it may indicate that the transmission or the transmission cooling system are being
overloaded, or that they require service. For further diagnosis of the transmission over-temperature
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, See: Instrument Cluster /
Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the transmission temperature sensor, the PCM,
the CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to transmission
over-temperature indicator operation. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Testing and Inspection
ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) data is obtained from several components on the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus circuit. The EVIC will not function properly if the bus
messages from any of these components is not received. If no EVIC data is displayed, check the
CAN data bus circuit communications, the instrument cluster also known as Cab Compartment
Node (CCN) functions and the Integrated Power Module (IPM).
If the problem with the EVIC is an inaccurate or scrambled display, refer to theSELF- DIAGNOSTIC
TEST. If the problem with the EVIC is incorrect Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) dimming levels,
use a scan tool and the proper diagnostic procedures information to test for the correct dimming
message inputs being received from the CCN or TIPM over the CAN data bus circuit. If the
problem is a no-display condition, use the following procedure.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and harness 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. Remove the overhead console from the headliner. See: Body and Frame/Interior Moulding /
Trim/Console/Service and Repair/Overhead Console
- Removal.
2. Inspect the Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse in the IPM. If the IOD fuse is ok and in place, go to 3. If
not ok, repair the open IOD fuse circuit as
required.
3. Check for battery voltage at the overhead console electrical connector. If ok, go to 4. If not ok,
check for battery voltage at the appropriate B(+)
fuse in the IPM. Repair the open fused B(+) circuit as required.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Check the fused ignition switch output circuit(s) at the
overhead console electrical connector. If ok, go
to 5. If not ok, repair the open or shorted circuit as required.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit
cavity of the overhead console electrical connector and a good ground. There should be continuity.
If ok, refer to theSELF- DIAGNOSTIC TEST for further diagnosis of the EVIC module and the CAN
data bus circuit. If not ok, repair the open ground circuit as required.
SELF- DIAGNOSTIC TEST
NOTE: The EVIC Self-Test can also be performed using a scan tool. Navigate to the Auto Self-Test
screen under System Tests of the scan tool
and initiate the EVIC Self-Test.
A self-diagnostic test is used to determine that the EVIC is operating properly electrically. Initiate
the self-diagnostic test as follows:
1. With the ignition switch in the Off position, simultaneously press and hold the STEP and RESET
buttons while rotating the ignition switch to the
Run/On position.
2. Continue to hold both buttons pressed until the EVIC enters the display segment test. In this test,
all of the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD)
segments are lighted while the EVIC performs the following checks: Non-Volatile Memory Status (NVM)
- RAM Status
- ROM Status
- ASIC Communication Status
- Compass Status
- DC Status
- CAN Data Bus Communications Status
NOTE: If the EVIC module is equipped with the universal transmitter (also known as HomeLink(R)),
the module also checks HomeLink(R)
communication test status.
3. Following completion of these tests, the EVIC displays one of two messages: "Self Test: FAIL" or
"Self Test: PASS." In addition to the
FAIL/PASS message the EVIC displays the current software version (SW V xx.xx.xxx) below the
FAIL/PASS info. Press the RESET or STEP button to exit and enter normal mode. Respond to
these test results as follows: If no test result message displays, but EVIC operation is still improper, Use a scan tool and the
proper diagnostic procedures information are required for further diagnosis.
- If the "Self Test: FAIL" message displays, the EVIC is inoperative and must be replaced.
- If the "Self Test: PASS" message displays, the EVIC is ok, no faults are present.
- If any VFD segment does not light during the display segment test, the EVIC is inoperative and
must be replaced.
If the first seven tests pass, the EVIC verifies that all the required CAN bus messages are present
on the CAN bus. If all required messages are present on the CAN bus, the EVIC automatically
returns to normal operation after sixty seconds. The EVIC can also be returned to normal operation
anytime during the test by pressing the STEP, C/T, RESET or US/M buttons.
NOTE: Pressing the STEP or RESET buttons during any portion of the EVIC Self - Diagnostic Test
procedure causes the EVIC to exit diagnostics

and return to compass/temperature mode.
NOTE: If the compass functions, but accuracy is suspect, it may be necessary to perform a
variance adjustment. This procedure allows the
compass unit to accommodate variations in the earths magnetic field strength based on geographic
location.
NOTE: If the compass reading blanks out, and only "CAL" appears in the display, demagnetizing
may be necessary to remove excessive
residual magnetic fields from the vehicle. Check for stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and
follow the proper diagnostic procedures information as needed.

MANUAL COMPASS CALIBRATION
CAUTION: Do not place any external magnets, such as magnetic roof mount antennas, in the
vicinity of the overhead console. Do not use
magnetic tools when servicing the overhead console.
NOTE: Whenever the compass is calibrated manually, the variance number must also be reset.
See: for the appropriate procedure.
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 the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) displays "CAL", perform the following manual
calibration procedure. Also, any time EVIC service replacement components are installed, they
must be 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.
Calibrate the compass manually as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the On/Run position. Press and release the MENU push button (1)
until "Personal Settings" is displayed. 2. Press the STEP push button (2) until "Calibrate Compass
YES" is displayed. 3. Momentarily depress and release the RESET push button (4) to initiate the
calibration procedure. The message "CAL will appear in the
Compass/Temperature display.
4. Slowly drive the vehicle on a level surface, away from large metal objects and power lines,
through one or two complete circles not exceeding 8
km/h (5 mph). The "CAL" message will disappear from the display to indicate that the compass is
now calibrated.
NOTE: A blank compass display indicates that vehicle degaussing (demagnetizing) may be
necessary.
NOTE: If the "CAL" message remains in the display, either there is excessive magnetism near the
compass, or the EVIC is inoperative.
Attempt the calibration procedure at least one more time before performing EVIC diagnosis.
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 manual calibration procedure in another location.

COMPASS VARIANCE ADJUSTMENT
Variance Settings Map
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 must be set.
NOTE: If the vehicle is taken on long trips into a new variance zone the compass function may be
effected. Compass variance may need to be
adjusted to the new zone number to function properly.
NOTE: The default for the compass variance from the factory is 8.
To set the compass variance:

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.
To demagnetize the roof panel proceed as follows:
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. 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, See: Compass/Adjustments/Compass

Electronic Throttle Control Indicator: Description and Operation ETC Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
An Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters.
However, on vehicles not equipped with ETC, this indicator is electronically disabled. This indicator
is located in the center of the speedometer, in the area to the right of the speedometer needle hub.
The ETC indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol
icon for Electronic Throttle Control in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark
outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated.
A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the
indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated
from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The ETC indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Electronic Throttle Control Indicator: Description and Operation ETC Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the
ETC system, or a circuit or component of the system is ineffective. The ETC indicator is controlled
by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and
electronic messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The ETC indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED is
always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the ETC indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the ON position the ETC indicator illuminates for
about 15 seconds. The entire bulb test is a function of the PCM.
- ETC Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic ETC indicator
lamp-on message from the PCM, the ETC indicator illuminates. The indicator can be flashed on
and off, or illuminated solid, as dictated by the PCM message. The indicator remains illuminated
solid or continues to flash for about 12 seconds or until the cluster receives a lamp-off message
from the PCM, whichever is longer. If the indicator is illuminated solid with the engine running the
vehicle will usually remain drivable. If the indicator is flashing with the engine running the vehicle
may require towing. A flashing indicator means the ETC system requires immediate service. The
indicator is extinguished when the ignition switch turns to the off position.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-on or lamp-off messages from the PCM for
three consecutive seconds, the ETC indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated until
the cluster receives a single lamp-off message from the PCM.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the ETC indicator is turns on, then off
again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the
cluster control circuitry. The actuator test illumination of the ETC indicator is a function of the PCM.
The PCM continually monitors the ETC system circuits and sensors to decide whether the system
is in good operating condition. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the
instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). If the PCM sends a lamp-on
message after the bulb test, it indicates that the PCM has detected an ETC system malfunction or
that the ETC system is ineffective. The PCM stores a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any
malfunction it detects. Each time the ETC indicator fails to illuminate due to an open or short in the
cluster ETC indicator circuit, the cluster sends a message notifying the PCM of the condition, then
the instrument cluster and the PCM will each store a DTC.
Using a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the ETC system, the PCM, the CCN, the CAN
data bus or the electronic communication related to ETC indicator operation. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Fog/Driving Lamp Indicator: Description and Operation Fog Lamp Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A fog lamp indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not
equipped with optional fog lamps, this indicator is electronically disabled. This indicator is located
within the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit.
The fog lamp indicator consists of the International Control and Display Symbol icon for Front Fog
Light in the lower left corner of the VFD unit. The VFD unit is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board, and is visible through a window with a smoked clear lens located on the
lower edge of the speedometer gauge dial face of the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD
prevents the icon from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. The fog lamp indicator icon
appears in a blue-green color and at the same lighting level as the odometer information when it is
illuminated by the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
During daylight hours (exterior lamps are OFF) the VFD unit is illuminated at full brightness for
clear visibility. At night (exterior lamps are ON), the VFD unit lighting level is adjusted with the other
cluster illumination lamps using the panel lamps dimmer function of the interior lighting thumbwheel
on the headlamp switch. However, a PARADE mode position of the thumbwheel allows the VFD
unit to be illuminated at full brightness if the exterior lamps are turned ON during daylight hours.
The fog lamp indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD unit in the instrument cluster.

Fog/Driving Lamp Indicator: Description and Operation Fog Lamp Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The fog lamp indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator whenever the optional fog lamps
are illuminated. This indicator is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon
cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Front Control
Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The fog lamp indicator is completely controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit. This logic only
allows the indicator to operate whenever the instrument cluster receives a battery current input on
the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the indicator is always off when the
ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The indicator only illuminates when it is
energized by the instrument cluster logic circuit. The instrument cluster turns on the fog lamp
indicator for the following reasons:
- Fog Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic fog indicator
lamp-on message from the FCM indicating the fog lamp relay is energized, the fog lamp indicator
illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from
the FCM, until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position or until the exterior lamp load
shedding (battery saver) timed interval expires, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the fog lamp indicator turns
on, then off again during the VFD portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the VFD and the
cluster control circuitry.
The FCM continually monitors electronic exterior lighting switch status messages from the
instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN) to determine the appropriate
outputs to the fog lamp relay. The FCM activates or deactivates the fog lamp relay then sends the
proper lamp-on or lamp-off message back to the CCN. For further diagnosis of the fog lamp
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the indicator, See: Instrument Cluster /
Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the fog lamp system, the FCM, the CCN, the
CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to fog lamp indicator operation. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

4WD INDICATOR
The 4WD indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the electronic transfer case has
been shifted into a 4WD mode. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster
circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster
from the Front Control Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The 4WD indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster

cluster turns on the 4WD indicator for the following reasons:
- 4WD Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic 4WD indicator
lamp-on message from the FCM, the indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated until
the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the FCM, or until the ignition switch is turned to the

A gas cap indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The gas cap indication
appears within the odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. The gas cap indicator
consists of a textual GASCAP message which appears in place of the odometer/trip odometer
information in the display.
The odometer VFD is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board, and is visible through a
window with a smoked clear lens located on the lower edge of the tachometer gauge dial face of
the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD prevents it from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. The gas cap textual message appears in the same blue-green color and at the same

Fuel Filler Cap Warning Indicator: Description and Operation Gas Cap Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The gas cap indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when there is a gross leak
detected in the on board fuel vapor recovery system. This indicator is controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The gas cap indicator function of the odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit is
completely controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to
operate when the instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch
output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the VFD gas cap indication is always off when the ignition
switch is in any position except ON or START. The instrument cluster turns on the gas cap
indicator for the following reasons:
- Gas Cap Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic gas cap
indicator lamp-on message from the PCM indicating there is a gross leak in the vapor recovery
system, the gas cap indicator illuminates. If the ignition switch is in the ON position and the vehicle
is not moving when the message is received, the VFD repeatedly and sequentially cycles the gas
cap indication in two second intervals with the odometer/trip odometer information and any other
active textual warnings. If the vehicle is moving, or once the cluster of a non-moving vehicle
receives an electronic vehicle speed message from the PCM indicating a speed greater than zero,
the warning sequence consists of three complete display cycles with an audible single chime tone
accompanying each cycle, then revert to only the visual gas cap indication and odometer/trip
odometer display cycling until the cluster receives a message indicating there is no gross leak in
the vapor recovery system, or until the ignition switch turns to the off position, whichever occurs
first. The VFD can be reverted to the odometer display and any currently displayed textual
messages suspended by momentarily depressing and releasing the odometer/trip odometer reset
switch button on the front of the cluster.
The PCM continually monitors the on board vapor recovery system to determine whether there are
air leaks in the system. The PCM then sends the proper electronic messages to the instrument
cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). If the CCN turns on the gas cap
indicator due to a monitored gross leak in the vapor recovery system, it may indicate that the gas
cap has been removed or is improperly installed.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the on board vapor recovery system, the PCM,
the CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to gas cap indicator operation.

Fuel Gauge: Description and Operation Fuel Gauge - Description
DESCRIPTION
A fuel gauge is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This gauge is part of the minor
gauge set with the engine coolant temperature gauge located on the left side of the instrument
cluster, just left of the speedometer. This gauge consists of a movable gauge needle or pointer
controlled by the instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 90 degree gauge scale on the cluster
overlay that reads bottom-to-top from E (or Empty) to F (or Full). An International Control and
Display Symbol icon for Fuel is located on the cluster overlay, in the center of the gauge directly
below the bottom end of the scale. An arrowhead pointed to the left side of the vehicle is imprinted
on the cluster overlay next to the Fuel icon on the gauge to provide the driver with a reminder as to
the location of the fuel filler access.
The fuel gauge graphics are black against a white field except for a single red graduation at the low
end of the gauge scale, making them clearly visible within the instrument cluster in daylight. When
illuminated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled cluster general illumination lighting
with the exterior lamps turned ON, the white gauge dial face appears blue-green with the black
graphics silhouetted against the illuminated background and the red graphics and the red gauge
needle still appear red. Gauge illumination is provided by an integral electro-luminescent lamp that
is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
The fuel gauge is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Fuel Gauge: Description and Operation Fuel Gauge - Operation
OPERATION
The fuel gauge gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the level of fuel in the fuel tank. This
gauge is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and a
hardwired input received by the cluster from the fuel level sending unit on the fuel pump module in
the fuel tank.
The fuel gauge is an air core magnetic unit that receives battery current on the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board through the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit whenever the
ignition switch is in the ON or START positions. The cluster is programmed to move the gauge
needle back to the low end of the scale after the ignition switch turns to the off position. The
instrument cluster circuitry controls the gauge needle position and provides the following features:
- Fuel Level Sending Unit Input - The cluster provides a constant current source to the fuel level
sending unit and monitors a return input on a fuel level sense circuit. The resistance through the
fuel level sending unit increases as the fuel level falls and decreases as the fuel level rises causing
changes in the fuel level sense input voltage. The cluster programming applies an algorithm to
calculate the proper fuel gauge needle position based upon the fuel level sense input, then moves
the gauge needle to the proper relative position on the gauge scale. This algorithm is used to
dampen gauge needle movement against the negative effect that fuel sloshing within the fuel tank
can have on accurate inputs from the fuel tank sending unit to the cluster.
- Less Than 15 Percent Tank Full Input - Each time the fuel level sense input to the cluster
indicates the fuel tank is about 15 percent full or less for 10 consecutive seconds and the vehicle
speed is zero, or for 60 consecutive seconds and the vehicle speed is greater than zero, the gauge
needle moves to about the one-sixteenth graduation on the gauge scale, the low fuel indicator
illuminates, and a single chime tone is sounded. The low fuel indicator remains illuminated until the
fuel level sense input indicates that the fuel tank is greater than about 15 percent full for 10
consecutive seconds and the vehicle speed is zero, or for 60 consecutive seconds and the vehicle
speed is greater than zero, or until the ignition switch turns to the off position, whichever occurs
first. The chime tone feature only repeats during the same ignition cycle if the low fuel indicator is
cycled off then on again by the appropriate inputs from the fuel level sending unit.
- Less Than Empty Stop Input - Each time the cluster receives a fuel level sense input that
indicates the fuel level in the fuel tank is less than the Empty gauge needle stop position, the gauge
needle moves to the low end of the gauge scale and the low fuel indicator illuminates immediately.
This input would indicate that the fuel level sense input to the cluster is a short circuit.
- More Than Full Stop Input - Each time the cluster receives a fuel level sense input that indicates
the fuel level in the fuel tank is more than the Full gauge needle stop position, the gauge needle
moves to the low end of the gauge scale and the low fuel indicator illuminates immediately. This
input would indicate that the fuel level sense input to the cluster is an open circuit.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the fuel gauge needle is swept to
several calibration points on the gauge scale in a prescribed sequence in order to confirm the
functionality of the gauge and the cluster control circuitry.
The instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN) continually monitors the
fuel tank sending unit to determine the level of fuel in the fuel tank. The CCN then sends the proper
electronic fuel level messages to other electronic modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area
Network (CAN) data bus. For further diagnosis of the fuel gauge or the instrument cluster circuitry
that controls the gauge, See: Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the fuel tank sending unit, the CCN, the CAN
data bus or the electronic communication related to fuel gauge operation or fuel level data
processing. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Low Fuel Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Low Fuel Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A low fuel indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located near
the upper edge of the instrument cluster, between the minor gauge set and the speedometer.
The low fuel indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display
Symbol icon for Fuel in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of
the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber
Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the
indicator to appear in amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated
from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The low fuel indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Low Fuel Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Low Fuel Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The low fuel indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the level of fuel in the fuel
tank becomes low. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board
based upon cluster programming and a hardwired input received by the cluster from the fuel level
sending unit on the fuel pump module in the fuel tank.
The low fuel indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED is
always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the low fuel indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the ON position the low fuel indicator is
illuminated for about two seconds as a bulb test.
- Less Than 15 Percent Tank Full Input - The cluster provides a constant current source to the fuel
level sending unit and monitors a return input on a fuel level sense circuit. The resistance through
the fuel level sending unit increases as the fuel level falls and decreases as the fuel level rises
causing changes in the sense input voltage. Each time the fuel level sense input to the cluster
indicates the fuel tank is about 15 percent full or less for 10 consecutive seconds and the vehicle
speed is zero, or for 60 consecutive seconds and the vehicle speed is greater than zero, the fuel
gauge needle is moved to about the one-sixteenth graduation on the gauge scale, the low fuel
indicator illuminates, and a single chime tone is sounded. The low fuel indicator remains illuminated
until the fuel level sense input indicates that the fuel tank is greater than about 15 percent full for 10
consecutive seconds and the vehicle speed is zero, or for 60 consecutive seconds and the vehicle
speed is greater than zero, or until the ignition switch turns to the OFF position, whichever occurs
first. The chime tone feature only repeats during the same ignition cycle if the low fuel indicator is
cycled off then on again by the appropriate inputs from the fuel level sending unit.
- Less Than Empty Stop Input - Each time the cluster receives a fuel level sense input that
indicates the fuel level in the fuel tank is less than the E (or Empty) gauge needle stop position, the
gauge needle moves to the low end of the gauge scale and the low fuel indicator illuminates
immediately. This input would indicate that the fuel level sense input to the cluster is a short circuit.
- More Than Full Stop Input - Each time the cluster receives a fuel level sense input that indicates
the fuel level in the fuel tank is more than the F (or Full) gauge needle stop position, the gauge
needle moves to the low end of the gauge scale and the low fuel indicator illuminates immediately.
This input would indicate that the fuel level sense input to the cluster is an open circuit.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the low fuel indicator turns on, then
off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the
cluster control circuitry.
The instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node, (CCN) continually monitors the
fuel tank sending unit to determine the level of fuel in the fuel tank. The cluster then sends the
proper electronic fuel level messages to other electronic modules in the vehicle over the Controller
Area Network (CAN) data bus. For further diagnosis of the low fuel indicator or the instrument
cluster circuitry that controls the LED, See: Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the fuel tank sending unit, the CCN, the CAN
data bus or the electronic communication related to low fuel indicator operation or fuel level data
processing. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Description and Operation Low Tire Pressure Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However,
on vehicles not equipped with the optional TPM, this indicator is electronically disabled. This
indicator is located in the speedometer dial face to the left of the speedometer needle hub in the
instrument cluster overlay.
The TPM indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of an icon that represents a cross-section of a
tire with a centered exclamation point in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The
dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The TPM indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Description and Operation Low Tire Pressure Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the status
of the TPM system. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit
board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the
Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM), over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The TPM indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED
always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the TPM indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the SKREEM sends an
electronic TPM indicator lamp-on message to the cluster to illuminate the TPM indicator for about
three seconds as a bulb test.
- TPM Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic TPM indicator
lamp-on message from the SKREEM, the TPM indicator illuminates. The indicator can be flashed
on and off, or illuminated solid, as dictated by the SKREEM message. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the SKREEM or until the ignition
switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no TPM lamp-on or lamp-off messages from the
SKREEM for six consecutive seconds, the TPM indicator is illuminated by the instrument cluster.
The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid lamp-on or lamp-off
message is received from the SKREEM.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the TPM indicator turns on, then off
again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the
cluster control circuitry.
The SKREEM performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position to
decide whether the TPM system is in good operating condition and whether the tire inflation
pressures are too high or low. The SKREEM then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message
to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). If the instrument
cluster turns on the TPM indicator after the bulb test, it indicates that the inflation pressure of a tire
is too low or that a malfunction has occurred and the TPM system is ineffective.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the TPM system, the SKREEM, the CCN, the
CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to TPM indicator operation. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Maintenance Required Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Oil Change Indicator Description
DESCRIPTION
A change oil indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles
manufactured for export markets, this indicator is electronically disabled. This indicator is located
within the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. However, on vehicles
equipped with the optional Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), the change oil indicator in
the odometer VFD is electronically suppressed so as not to duplicate indications that are provided
by the EVIC. The change oil indicator consists of cycling textual CHAngE and OIL messages which
appear in place of the odometer/trip odometer information in the odometer VFD unit.
The odometer VFD is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board, and is visible through a
window with a smoked clear lens located on the lower edge of the tachometer gauge dial face of
the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD prevents it from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. The change oil textual messages appear in the same blue-green color and at the same
lighting level as the odometer information when they are illuminated by the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The change oil indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD in the instrument cluster.

Maintenance Required Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Oil Change Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The change oil indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when a duty-cycle algorithm
contained within the software of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) determines that a
recommended oil change interval has been attained. This indicator is controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus from the PCM.
The change oil indicator function of the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) is completely controlled
by the instrument cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the
instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start)
circuit. Therefore, the VFD change oil indication is always off when the ignition switch is in any
position except ON or START. The instrument cluster turns on the change oil indicator for the
following reasons:
- Change Oil Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position and the cluster receives an electronic change oil indicator lamp-on message from the PCM
indicating that a duty-cycle based recommended oil change interval has been attained, the change
oil indicator illuminates for about three seconds, until the trip odometer reset switch button is
depressed, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Change Oil Indicator Reset Procedure - Once an engine oil change has been completed, the
PCM duty cycle counters can be reset using the following procedure. Turn the ignition switch to the
on position, butDo not start the engine. Slowly depress and release the accelerator pedal fully three
times within ten seconds. Turn the ignition switch to the off position. If the change oil indicator
illuminates the next time the engine is started, repeat this procedure.
The PCM continually monitors numerous sensor inputs to determine the duty-cycles to which the
engine is being subjected. A pre-programmed algorithm within the PCM then determines when to
send the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab
Compartment Node (CCN).
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the change oil indicator, the PCM, the CCN, the
CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to change oil indicator operation. Refer to
the appropriate diagnostic information.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Malfunction Indicator Lamp - Operation
OPERATION
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has recorded a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for an On-Board
Diagnostics II (OBDII) emissions-related circuit or component malfunction. The MIL is controlled by
a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic
messages received by the cluster from the PCM over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The MIL Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit.
This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a battery
current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED is always off
when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only illuminates when it
is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument cluster turns on
the MIL for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the on position the indicator is illuminated for
about 15 seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the PCM.
- MIL Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic MIL lamp-on message from
the PCM, the indicator illuminates. The indicator can be flashed on and off, or illuminated solid, as
dictated by the PCM message. For some DTCs, if a problem does not recur, the PCM sends a
lamp-off message automatically. Other DTCs may require that a fault be repaired and the PCM be
reset before a lamp-off message is sent. For more information on the PCM, and the DTC set and
reset parameters, See: Powertrain Management/Emission Control Systems/Testing and Inspection.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-on or lamp-off messages from the PCM for
10 consecutive message cycles, the MIL is illuminated by the instrument cluster to indicate a loss
of bus communication. The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid
message is received from the PCM.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the MIL indicator turns on during the
bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the fuel and emissions system circuits and sensors to decide
whether the system is in good operating condition. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-on or
lamp-off message to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). For
further diagnosis of the MIL or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, See:
Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection. If the CCN turns on the MIL after the bulb test,
it may indicate that a malfunction has occurred and that the fuel and emissions systems may
require service.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the fuel and emissions systems, the PCM, the
CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to MIL operation. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

OPERATION
The Regenerative Brake System (RBS) indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when
the RBS system, or a circuit or component of the system is ineffective. This indicator is controlled
by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and
electronic messages received by the cluster from the Regenerative Brake Controller (RBC) (also
known as the Controller Antilock Brake/CAB) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The RBS indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED is
always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the RBS indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turns to the on position the RBS indicator is illuminated
for about four seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the RBC.
- RBS Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic RBS indicator
lamp-on message from the RBC, the RBS indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated
until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the RBC, or until the ignition switch turns to the
OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-on or lamp-off messages from the RBC for
five consecutive message cycles, the RBS indicator is illuminated. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a valid message from the RBC, or until the ignition switch is
turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Self Test - Each time the instrument cluster is put through the self test, the RBS indicator turns
on, then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED
and the cluster control circuitry.
- RBS Diagnostic Test - The RBS indicator is blinked on and off by lamp-on and lamp-off messages
from the RBC during the performance of the RBS diagnostic tests.
The RBC continually monitors the RBS circuits and sensors to decide whether the system is in
good operating condition. The RBC then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the
instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). If the RBC sends a lamp-on
message after the bulb test, it indicates that the RBC has detected a system malfunction or that the
RBS system has become ineffective. The RBC stores a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any
malfunction it detects. Each time the RBS indicator fails to light due to an open or short in the
cluster RBS indicator circuit, the cluster sends a message notifying the RBC of the condition, then
the instrument cluster and the RBC will each store a DTC.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the regenerative brake system, the RBC, the
CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to RBS indicator operation. Refer
to the appropriate diagnostic information.

- Service 4WD Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic service
4WD indicator lamp-on message from the FCM, the service 4WD indicator illuminates. The
indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the FCM, or until
the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-ON or lamp-off messages from the FCM for
10 seconds, the service 4WD indicator is illuminated by the cluster to indicate a loss of FCM
communication. The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid
message is received from the FCM.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the service 4WD indicator turns on,
then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and
the cluster control circuitry.
The FCM continually monitors the electronic transfer case control circuits and transfer case shift
motor/mode sensor assembly to determine the condition of the system. The FCM then sends the
proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab
Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the service 4WD indicator or the instrument
cluster circuitry that controls the LED, See: Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the FCM, the CCN, the CAN data bus or the
electronic communication related to service 4WD indicator operation. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

Odometer: Description and Operation Odometer - Description
DESCRIPTION
An odometer and trip odometer are standard factory-installed equipment in all instrument clusters.
The odometer, trip odometer, and engine hours information are displayed in a common electronic,
blue-green Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. This VFD unit is soldered onto the cluster
electronic circuit board and is visible through a window with a smoked clear lens located below the
tachometer in the lower right area of the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD prevents the
indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated.
The odometer, trip odometer, and engine hours information are not displayed simultaneously. The
trip odometer reset switch on the instrument cluster circuit board toggles the display between
odometer and trip odometer modes by depressing the odometer/trip odometer switch button that
extends through the lower edge of the cluster lens, just left of the minor gauge set. When the trip
odometer information is displayed, the word TRIP is also illuminated in the lower right corner of the
odometer/trip odometer VFD in a blue-green color and at the same lighting level as the trip
odometer information. The engine hours information replaces the selected odometer or trip
odometer information whenever the ignition switch is in the ON position and the engine is not
running.
The odometer, trip odometer, and engine hours information is stored in the instrument cluster
memory. This information can be increased when the proper inputs are provided to the instrument
cluster, but the information cannot be decreased. The odometer can display values up to 999,999
kilometers (999,999 miles). The odometer latches at these values, and will not roll over to zero.
The trip odometer can display values up to 999.9 kilometers (999.9 miles) before it rolls over to
zero. Engine hours are displayed in the format, hr9999. The cluster will accumulate values up to
9,999 hours before the display rolls over to zero.
The odometer display does not have a decimal point and will not show values less than a full unit
(kilometer or mile), while the trip odometer display does have a decimal point and will show tenths
of a unit (kilometer or mile). The unit of measure (kilometers or miles) for the odometer and trip
odometer display is not shown in the VFD. The unit of measure for the instrument cluster
odometer/trip odometer is selected at the time that it is manufactured, and cannot be changed. The
odometer also has a RENTAL CAR mode, which will illuminate the odometer information in the
VFD whenever the driver side front door is opened with the ignition switch in the OFF or
ACCESSORY positions.
During daylight hours (exterior lamps are OFF) the odometer VFD is illuminated at full brightness
for clear visibility. At night (exterior lamps are ON), the VFD lighting level is adjusted with the other
cluster general illumination lamps using the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the headlamp
switch. However, a PARADE mode position of the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel allows the
VFD to be illuminated at full brightness if the exterior lamps are turned ON during daylight hours.
The odometer/trip odometer VFD, the trip odometer switch, and the trip odometer switch button are
serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Odometer: Description and Operation Odometer - Operation
OPERATION
The odometer and trip odometer give an indication to the vehicle operator of the distance the
vehicle has traveled. The engine hours give an indication of the cumulative engine-on time. This
indicator is controlled by the instrument cluster circuitry based upon cluster programming and
electronic messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The odometer, trip odometer and engine hours information is displayed by the instrument cluster
odometer/trip odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD). The VFD displays the odometer
information whenever any door is opened with the ignition switch in the OFF or ACCESSORY
positions, and displays the last previously selected odometer or trip odometer information when the
ignition switch turns to the ON or START positions. The instrument cluster circuitry controls the
VFD and provides the following features:
- Odometer/Trip Odometer Display Toggling - Actuating the trip odometer reset switch button
momentarily with the VFD illuminated toggles the display between the odometer and trip odometer
information. Each time the VFD is illuminated with the ignition switch in the ON or START positions,
the display automatically returns to the last mode previously selected (odometer or trip odometer).
- Engine Hours Display Toggling - When the trip odometer reset switch button is pressed and held
for longer than about six seconds with the ignition switch in the ON position and the engine speed
message from the PCM is zero, the trip odometer information momentarily displays, then the
engine hours information displays. The VFD must display the odometer information when the trip
odometer reset switch button is pressed in order to toggle to the engine hours display. The engine
hours remains displayed for about 30 seconds, until the engine speed message is greater than
zero, or until the ignition switch turns to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Trip Odometer Reset - When the trip odometer reset switch button is pressed and held for longer
than about two seconds with the ignition switch in the ON or START positions, the trip odometer
resets to 0.0 kilometers (miles). The VFD must display the trip odometer information in order for the
trip odometer information to be reset.
- GASCAP Message Display - On vehicles manufactured with a United States country code, each
time the cluster receives an electronic message from the PCM indicating a monitored leak in the
evaporative emissions system, the cluster replaces the displayed odometer/trip odometer value
with the textual message, GASCAP. This message serves as a reminder to the vehicle operator to
check that the gas cap is properly installed and tightened, but could also indicate another source of
air leakage in the on-board evaporative and vapor recovery emissions systems. Unless the leak is
corrected, this message latches and remains displayed during the current and each subsequent
ignition cycle until the trip odometer reset button is pressed and released momentarily, which
reverts the display to the odometer/trip odometer information that was last displayed for the
remainder of that ignition cycle. Once the source of a leak has been corrected, either momentarily
pressing the trip odometer reset button or cycling the ignition switch unlatches the message and
return the odometer/trip odometer to normal operation.
- NO-FUSE Message Display - Each time the cluster receives an electronic message from the
Front Control Module (FCM) indicating the Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) feed for the cluster is an open
circuit, the cluster replaces the displayed odometer/trip odometer value with the textual message,
NO-FUSE. This message indicates that the IOD fuse is missing, blown or that the IOD feed circuit
is ineffective. Unless the problem is corrected, this message latches and remains displayed during
the current and each subsequent ignition cycle until the trip odometer reset button is pressed and
released momentarily, which reverts the display to the odometer/trip odometer information that was
last displayed for the remainder of that ignition cycle. Once the problem has been corrected, either
momentarily pressing the trip odometer reset button or cycling the ignition switch unlatches the
message and return the odometer/trip odometer to normal operation.
- Ambient Temperature Display - On vehicles that are not equipped with the optional Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), each time the cluster receives an electronic ambient
temperature message from the FCM, the cluster replaces the displayed odometer/trip odometer
value with the ambient temperature value. This value displays and updates during the current
ignition cycle until the trip odometer reset button is pressed and released momentarily, which
reverts the display to the odometer/trip odometer information that was last displayed for the
remainder of that ignition cycle.
- Communication Error - If the cluster fails to receive an electronic distance message during normal
operation, it holds and displays the last data received until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF
position. If the cluster does not receive a distance message within one second after the ignition
switch turns to the ON position, it displays the last distance value stored in the cluster memory. If
the cluster is unable to display distance information due to an error internal to the cluster, the VFD
displays Error.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the odometer VFD displays all of its
segments simultaneously, then step through each character segment individually during the VFD
portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the VFD and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the vehicle speed pulse information received from the Vehicle
Speed Sensor (VSS) and engine speed pulse information received from the crankshaft position
sensor, then sends the proper messages to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab
Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the odometer/trip odometer or the instrument
cluster circuitry that controls these functions, See: Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and
Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the VSS, the crankshaft position sensor, the
PCM, the CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to odometer/trip
odometer operation. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Low Oil Pressure Indicator Description
DESCRIPTION
A low oil pressure indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is
located near the upper edge of the instrument cluster, between the tachometer and the
speedometer.
The low oil pressure indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and
Display Symbol icon for Engine Oil in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark
outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated.
A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the
icon to appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from
behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The low oil pressure indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Low Oil Pressure Indicator Operation
OPERATION
The low oil pressure indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the engine oil
pressure reading reflects a condition requiring immediate attention. This indicator is controlled by a
transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic
messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller
Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The low oil pressure indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED is always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the low oil pressure indicator for the following reasons:
- Engine Oil Pressure Low Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic engine oil
pressure message from the PCM indicating the pressure is about 6.9 kPa (1 psi) or lower, the low
oil pressure indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a
message from the PCM indicating that the pressure is above about 6.9 kPa (1 psi), or until the
ignition switch turns to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. The cluster only turns the indicator
on in response to low engine oil pressure if the engine speed is greater than zero.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the low oil pressure indicator turns on,
then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and
the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the engine oil pressure sensor to determine the engine oil pressure.
The PCM then sends the proper messages to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab
Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the low oil pressure indicator or the instrument
cluster circuitry that controls the LED, See: Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the engine oil pressure sensor, the PCM, the
CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to low oil pressure indicator
operation. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

DESCRIPTION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable resistor mounted to a bracket that is secured with a
screw to the right side of the radiator yoke, behind the radiator grille and in front of the engine
compartment.
For complete circuit diagrams refer to Wiring. The ambient temperature sensor cannot be adjusted

Outside Temperature Display Sensor: Description and Operation Ambient Temperature Sensor Operation
OPERATION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable resistor that operates on a five-volt reference signal
sent to it by the A/C-heater control. The resistance in the sensor changes as temperature changes,
changing the temperature sensor signal circuit voltage to the A/C-heater control. Based upon the
resistance in the sensor, the A/C-heater control senses a specific voltage on the temperature
sensor signal circuit, which it is programmed to correspond to a specific temperature.

Outside Temperature Display Sensor: Testing and Inspection
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The temperature function is supported by the ambient temperature sensor, a wiring circuit, the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus circuit and the Integrated Power Module (IPM). When the
sensor is exposed to temperatures above 55° C (131° F), or if the sensor circuit is shorted, 60° C
(130/140° F) will appear in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) display in place of the
temperature. When the sensor is exposed to temperatures below -40° C (-40° F) or if the sensor
circuit is open, - - ° C (- - ° F) will be displayed on the EVIC.
The ambient temperature sensor and circuit can also be diagnosed using the following Sensor
Test, and Sensor Circuit Test. If the temperature sensor and circuit are confirmed to be OK, but the
temperature display is inoperative or incorrect, further testing of the CAN data bus, IPM and base
EVIC system is necessary.
SENSOR TEST
1. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor harness
connector. 2. Measure the resistance of the ambient temperature sensor. At - 40° C (- 40° F), the
sensor resistance is 336 kilo ohms. At 55° C (130° F), the
sensor resistance is 2.488 kilo ohms. The sensor resistance should read between these two
values. If OK, perform further diagnosis of the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
system, See: Driver/Vehicle Information Display/Testing and Inspection. If not OK, replace the
inoperative ambient temperature sensor.
SENSOR CIRCUIT TEST
For complete circuit 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. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Disconnect the wire harness connector from the
ambient temperature sensor.
NOTE: Temperature readings do not update immediately. Allow up to 60 seconds after the ignition
switch is turned to the On position for
readings to meet test specifications.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. The EVIC display should now read - - ° C (- - ° F). If
OK, go to 3. If not OK, repair the shorted sensor
return circuit or ambient temperature sensor signal circuit to the ambient temperature sensor as
required.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Taking care not to damage the wire terminals,
connect a jumper wire between the two terminals in the
body half of the ambient temperature sensor harness connector. Turn the ignition switch to the On
position. The EVIC display should now read 60 ° C (130/140° F). If OK, go to 4. If not OK, repair
the open sensor return circuit or ambient temperature sensor signal circuit to the ambient
temperature sensor as required.
NOTE: If the EVIC display does not show the ambient temperature in step 4, the vehicle may need
to be driven several miles at a speed
greater than 32 km/h (20 mph) for the temperature to update.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Remove the jumper wire. Turn the ignition switch to
the On position and wait until the EVIC display
again reads - - ° C (- - ° F). Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Reconnect the ambient
temperature sensor. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. The EVIC display should now read
the ambient temperature. If OK, the problem is intermittent. Perform further diagnosis while
manipulating the related wire harnesses and components. If not OK, go to 5
5. Clear any Diagnostic Trouble Codes that may have been set while performing the test. Perform
further diagnosis of the CAN data bus circuit, the
IPM and the ambient temperature sensor (refer to the SENSOR TEST).

Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Tow/Haul Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A tow/haul indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The tow/haul indicator is
located below the minor gauge set on the left side of the cluster.
The tow/haul indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text TOW/HAUL in the opaque layer of
the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in
the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent
outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
When the exterior lighting is turned ON, the illumination intensity of the tow/haul indicator is
dimmable, which is adjusted along with the cluster general illumination lighting using the panel
lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the headlamp switch.
The tow/haul indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Tow/Haul Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The tow/haul indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the tow/haul function switch
has been selected, revising the shift schedule of the electronically controlled automatic
transmission. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board
based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The tow/haul indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED is
always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the tow/haul indicator for the following reasons:
- Tow/Haul Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic tow/haul
indicator lamp-on message from the PCM indicating that the tow/haul shift schedule has been
selected, the indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a
lamp-off message from the PCM, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position,
whichever occurs first.
- self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the tow/haul indicator turns on, then
off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the
cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the tow/haul switch to determine the proper outputs to the automatic
transmission. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the instrument
cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the tow/haul
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, See: Instrument Cluster /
Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the transmission control system, the PCM, the
CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to tow/haul indicator operation.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Parking Assist Warning Indicator: Description and Operation Chime/Buzzer - Description
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
A park assist system is an optional factory-installed electronic parking aid. During parking and other
similar vehicle maneuvers this system alerts the vehicle operator to obstacles located in the path
immediately behind the vehicle which, due to the surrounding rear vehicle structure, might be
otherwise difficult to perceive. When an object is detected, the system uses an electromechanical
transducer and Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicators within the park assist display unit to provide
the vehicle operator with visual and audible indications of the presence and proximity of such
objects.
The park assist system includes the following major components, which are described in further
detail elsewhere in this service information:
- Electronic Vehicle Information Center (1) - In vehicles equipped with the optional park assist
system, the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) in the overhead console displays textual
warnings and error messages and emits audible warnings related to the current operating status of
the park assist system and provides an interface that allows the vehicle operator to manually
disable or enable the system using the customer programmable features option.
- Park Assist Display (3) - Vehicles equipped with the park assist system have a park assist display
unit mounted in the rear of the headliner just forward of the liftgate opening. The body of the display
is concealed above the headliner where it is secured by a retainer on the back of the headliner
substrate. Only the narrow, oval-shaped smoked clear lens of the display is visible on the outer
surface of the headliner.
- Park Assist Module (2) - Vehicles equipped with the park assist system include a park assist
module which is secured through integral mounting tabs by push-in type fasteners to the quarter
inner panel above the left rear wheel housing where it is concealed beneath the quarter inner trim
panel.

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 and to the vehicle electrical system through the use of a
combination of soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many different types of wire harness
terminal connectors and insulators. 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.

Parking Assist Warning Indicator: Description and Operation Chime/Buzzer - Operation
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
The park assist system is active only when the ignition switch is in the ON or START positions, the
parking brake is released, the transmission gear selector lever is in either the REVERSE position
and the vehicle speed is less than 16 kph (10 mph) or, the DRIVE position and the vehicle speed is
less than 14 kph (8 mph) on deceleration, or 18 kph (12 mph) on acceleration. In vehicles equipped
with this option, the system is enabled from the factory as a default. The system can be manually
disabled and enabled by the vehicle operator using the customer programmable features option of
the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) in the overhead console.
Reasons for disabling the system include trailer towing and off road use. With a trailer attached to
the vehicle the audible and visible park assist alerts would be incessant whenever the gear selector
lever was in the REVERSE position due to the proximity of the trailer to the rear of the vehicle.
Similarly, operating the vehicle off road may cause the park assist alerts to become distracting due
to the proximity of large trees or boulders and the extreme rear approach angles that may be
encountered while maneuvering on off road trails or terrain. When the system is disabled, a PARK
ASSIST DISABLED textual message will appear in the EVIC display whenever the gear selector
lever is in the REVERSE position.
The microprocessor based park assist module is the central component of the park assist system.
It supplies voltage to the park assist sensors and the park assist display, receives and analyzes
data from the sensors, calculates and communicates the proper display information to the park
assist display, performs system diagnostics, and communicates with other electronic modules in
the vehicle or with a diagnostic scan tool over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. The
module operates on battery voltage received through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB), and is
grounded through a take out and eyelet terminal of the body wire harness that is secured by a
screw to the left inner D-pillar.
Four ultrasonic park assist sensors in the rear bumper fascia allow the park assist system to locate
and identify the proximity of nearby obstacles. These sensors each generate ultrasonic sound
pulses when triggered by the park assist module, then signal the module when an echo of the
reflected sound pulses is received. The detection distance range from the rear of the vehicle is
about 0.3 meters (11.8 inches) to about 2.0 meters (80 inches), and the detection height range
from the ground is about 0.2 meters (7.8 inches) to about 0.8 meters (31 inches). The detection
area extends somewhat around both rear sides (corners) of the vehicle.
The park assist display unit provides the vehicle operator with both visible and audible warnings
indicating the relative range of a detected object. The display is visible to the vehicle operator over
an inboard shoulder when looking rearward while backing the vehicle up, but is not visible in a
properly adjusted inside rear view mirror when looking forward. The display contains two sets of
eight Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicator units, one set dedicated to each side of the vehicle, and
an audible chime tone transducer. The LED units are concealed beneath a smoked oval lens and
are not clearly visible when they are not illuminated. When the park assist system is active and no
obstacles are detected (stand-by mode), the two rectangular amber LED units in the display are
illuminated at a reduced intensity to provide visual confirmation that the system is operating.
The display provides a visual indication of a detected object and its proximity by illuminating one or
more LED indicators, beginning with the outer most round amber indicators and moving toward the
center of the display as the vehicle gets closer to the object. As the vehicle comes to within about
200 centimeters (about 78.7 inches) of the object, one or both of the inner most rectangular amber
LED indicators illuminate at full intensity and the display emits a single half-second audible beep.
As the vehicle comes to within about 50 centimeters (19.7 inches) of the object, all of the amber
indicators and the first red LED indicator are illuminated and the display emits a series of short,
intermittent, audible beeps. If the audio system is turned ON, the audio output will be muted
automatically while the park assist audible warning is being generated. The audible warning
changes from intermittent beeps to a continuous tone as the final red indicator is illuminated and
the vehicle comes to within 30 centimeters (11.8 inches) of a detected object.
When the park assist module monitors a problem in any of the park assist system circuits or
components, it stores a fault code or Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in its memory circuit,
illuminates all four red LED units in the park assist display, sends an electronic message to the
EVIC, and a SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM textual message is displayed in the EVIC display.
The hard wired circuits between components related to the park assist system may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. 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.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the park
assist system or the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices that
provide some features of the park assist system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means
to diagnose the park assist system or the electronic controls and communication related to park
assist system operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

DESCRIPTION
The park assist display (1) is located in the headliner at the rear of the vehicle, just forward of the
upper liftgate opening header. Only the smoked clear plastic display lens (3) is visible on the
headliner. The lens prevents the 4 red Light Emitting Diode (LED) units and 12 amber LED units
from being clearly visible unless they are illuminated by the electronic circuitry of the display.
The remainder of the display including the mounting provisions and the electrical connection are
concealed above the headliner. A molded plastic housing with an integral connector receptacle (2)
at one end contains and protects the electronic circuitry of the display, including an audible tone
transducer and an electronic communication chip.
A molded plastic retainer (1) with three integral tabs (2) engages three slots integral to the display
housing above the lens. The retainer is installed over the display housing above the headliner
substrate to engage and securely lock the display into the opening in the headliner. An arrow and
the text REAR are molded into an integral installation tab (3) to ensure correct retainer orientation.
The park assist display is serviced only as a complete unit. It cannot be adjusted or repaired. If
ineffective or damaged, the entire display unit must be replaced.

Parking Assist Warning Indicator: Description and Operation Park Assist Display - Operation
OPERATION
The park assist display provides the vehicle operator with visual feedback by illuminating amber or
red Light Emitting Diode (LED) units individually or in unison, and audible feedback by energizing
an audible tone transducer on the display electronic circuit board to emit either an intermittent or a
continuous tone. While the park assist system is active, the number, position and color of the
illuminated LED units as well as the audible signal frequency indicate the relative position and
distance of obstacles detected at the rear of the vehicle.
The park assist display receives battery current and ground from and is completely controlled by
the park assist module. The display also contains an electronic communication chip that allows
bi-directional communication to occur with the park assist module over a dedicated serial bus line.
The microprocessor in the park assist module completely controls the display outputs, continually
monitors the display status, and will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in memory for any
monitored fault it detects in the park assist display. The illumination intensity of the LED units is
also controlled by the park assist module based upon internal programming and electronic panel
lamps dimming messages received over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, all 16 of the LED units in the display will
illuminate in unison for approximately 1 second as a bulb test. This output will be interrupted if the
system is active and senses an obstacle. Following the conclusion of the bulb test, when the
system is active but no obstacle is detected, the display will indicate system readiness by
illuminating the two inner most amber LED units (1) at a reduced intensity. As an obstacle is
detected, the outermost amber LED unit (5) on the side of the vehicle where the obstacle was
detected will be illuminated at normal intensity and a single short audible tone (one-half second
duration) is sounded. Then additional amber LED units (6) will begin illuminating inward (2 or 4) as
the obstacle gets closer until, finally, the two red LED units (7) are illuminated.
When the final red LED unit (3) is illuminated, the obstacle is approximately 40 centimeters (16
inches) from the rear corner of the vehicle or approximately 50 centimeters (19.7 inches) from the
rear bumper face and an intermittent audible tone will be generated. The frequency of the audible
tone will increase as the obstacle continues to become closer until the tone is continuous when the
obstacle is about 15 centimeters (6 inches) from the rear corner of the vehicle or about 30
centimeters (11.8 inches) from the rear bumper face. Whenever a park assist audible tone is being
generated, the park assist module sends electronic messages to the radio over the CAN data bus
to mute the audio system. The audible tone will be cancelled after about two seconds if the
detected distance to the obstacle remains constant. See the Park Assist Display Outputs table for
additional details.
The hard wired circuits between components related to the park assist display may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. 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.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the park

Parking Brake Warning Lamp: Description and Operation Brake/Parking Brake Indicator Description
DESCRIPTION
A brake indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located in the
center of the speedometer, in the area below and right of the speedometer needle hub.
The brake indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the word BRAKE (all clusters with a
miles-per-hour primary speedometer scale), or the International Control and Display Symbol icon
for Brake Failure (all clusters with a kilometers-per-hour primary scale) in the opaque layer of the
instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the
opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer
layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The brake indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Parking Brake Warning Lamp: Description and Operation Brake/Parking Brake Indicator Operation
OPERATION
The brake indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the parking brake is applied,
when there are certain brake hydraulic system malfunctions as indicated by a low brake hydraulic
fluid level condition, or when the brake fluid level switch is disconnected. The brake indicator can
also give an indication when certain faults are detected in the Antilock Brake System (ABS). This
indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster
programming, electronic messages received by the cluster from the Controller Antilock Brake
(CAB) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus, and a hard wired input from the park
brake switch.
The brake indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED is
always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the brake indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the ON position the brake indicator illuminates
for about four seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the CAB.
- Brake Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic brake indicator
lamp-on message from the CAB, the brake indicator illuminates. The CAB may also send lamp-on
messages as feedback during ABS diagnostic procedures. The indicator remains illuminated until
the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the CAB, or until the ignition switch is turned to the
OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Park Brake Switch Input - Each time the cluster detects ground on the park brake switch sense
circuit (park brake switch closed = park brake applied or not fully released) while the ignition switch
is in the ON position, the brake indicator flashes on and off. The indicator continues to flash until
the park brake switch sense input to the cluster is an open circuit (park brake switch open = park
brake fully released), or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs
first.
- Self Test - Each time the instrument cluster is put through the self test, the brake indicator turns
on, then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED
and the cluster control circuitry.
The park brake switch on the park brake pedal mechanism provides a hardwired ground input to
the instrument cluster circuitry through the park brake switch sense circuit whenever the park brake
is applied or not fully released. The CAB continually monitors the ABS system circuits and sensors,
including the brake fluid level switch on the brake master cylinder reservoir, to decide whether the
system is in good operating condition. The CAB then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off
message to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). If the CAB
sends a lamp-on message after the bulb test, it indicates that the CAB has detected a brake
hydraulic system malfunction or that the ABS system has become ineffective. The CAB stores a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any malfunction it detects.
For further diagnosis of the brake indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED,
See: Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection. Use conventional diagnostic tools and
procedures for the hardwired park brake switch input to the instrument cluster. Refer to the
appropriate wiring information. Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the brake fluid
level switch, the ABS, the CAB, the CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication
related to brake indicator operation. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Seat Belt Reminder Lamp: Description and Operation Seat Belt Warning Lamp - Description
DESCRIPTION
A seatbelt indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located near
the upper edge of the instrument cluster, between the minor gauge set and the speedometer.
The seatbelt indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display
Symbol icon for Seat Belt in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer
layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red
Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the
indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated
from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The seatbelt indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Seat Belt Reminder Lamp: Description and Operation Seat Belt Warning Lamp - Operation
OPERATION
The seatbelt indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the status of the driver side front
seatbelt. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based
upon cluster programming and a hardwired input from the seatbelt switch in the driver side front
seatbelt retractor through the seat belt indicator driver circuit.
The seatbelt indicator also includes a programmable enhanced seatbelt reminder or beltminder
feature that is enabled when the vehicle is shipped from the factory. This beltminder feature can be
disabled and enabled by the customer using a specific programming event sequence, or by the
dealer using a diagnostic scan tool.
The seatbelt indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED will
always be off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the seatbelt indicator for the following reasons:
Seatbelt Reminder Function - Each time the cluster receives a battery current input on the fused
ignition switch output (run-start) circuit, the indicator illuminates as a seatbelt reminder for about six
seconds, or until the ignition switch turns to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. This reminder
function occurs regardless of the status of the seatbelt switch input to the cluster.
- Driver Side Front Seatbelt Not Buckled - Beltminder Active - Following the seatbelt reminder
function, each time the cluster detects an open circuit on the seat belt indicator driver circuit
(seatbelt switch open = seatbelt unbuckled) with the ignition switch in the START or ON positions,
the indicator illuminates. In addition, if the driver side front seatbelt remains unbuckled about 60
seconds after the conclusion of the seatbelt reminder function with the vehicle speed greater than
about 8 kilometers-per-hour (5 miles-per-hour), the seatbelt indicator begins to cycle between
flashing on and off for 3 seconds, then lighting solid for 2 seconds. The seatbelt indicator continues
to cycle between flashing and solid illumination for 13 complete cycles, until the seatbelt indicator
driver input to the cluster is closed to ground (seatbelt switch closed = seatbelt buckled), or until the
ignition switch turns to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Driver Side Front Seatbelt Not Buckled - Beltminder Inactive - Following the seatbelt reminder
function, each time the cluster detects an open circuit on the seatbelt indicator driver circuit
(seatbelt switch open = seatbelt unbuckled) with the ignition switch in the START or ON positions,
the indicator illuminates. The seatbelt indicator remains illuminated until the seatbelt indicator driver
input to the cluster is closed to ground (seatbelt switch closed = seatbelt buckled), or until the
ignition switch turns to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Airbag Indicator Backup - If the instrument cluster detects a fault in the airbag indicator circuit it
sends an electronic message indicating the fault to the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), then
flash the seatbelt indicator on and off. The cluster continues to flash the indicator until the airbag
indicator circuit fault is resolved, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever
occurs first.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the seatbelt indicator will be turned
on, then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED
and the cluster control circuitry.
The seatbelt switch is connected in series between ground and the seatbelt indicator driver input to
the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). Use conventional
diagnostic tools and procedures to diagnose the hardwired seatbelt switch input to the instrument
cluster. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

Seat Belt Reminder Lamp: Testing and Inspection
ENHANCED SEATBELT REMINDER PROGRAMMING
The seatbelt indicator also includes a programmable enhanced seatbelt reminder or BELTMINDER
feature that is enabled when the vehicle is shipped from the factory. This BELTMINDER feature
provides extended and modified visual seatbelt indicator and audible chime warning responses to
an unbuckled driver side front seat belt. The BELTMINDER feature may be disabled or enabled by
the customer using the programming sequence that follows, or by the dealer using a diagnostic
scan tool.
CUSTOMER PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE
NOTE: The following sequence of events must occur within 60 seconds of the ignition switch being
placed in the ON position in order for the
programming to be completed successfully.
1. With all doors closed and the ignition switch in any position except ON or START, buckle the
driver side front seat belt. 2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and wait for the seatbelt
indicator reminder function to conclude (about six seconds). 3. Unbuckle and buckle the driver side
front seat belt three or more times, ending with the belt buckled. 4. Turn the ignition switch to any
position except ON or START to toggle the BELTMINDER feature from its current setting (from
active to
inactive, or from inactive to active). A single chime tone will provide an audible confirmation that the
programming sequence has been successfully completed.

DOOR
This vehicle has four door ajar switches, one for each door. Each switch is concealed within and
integral to its respective door latch unit. The switches are momentary leaf contact-type units that
are actuated by the mechanisms internal to the door latch. A short pigtail wire and connector on
each door latch connects the door ajar switch to the vehicle electrical system through its respective
door wire harness.
The door ajar switches cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the door latch
unit must be replaced. See: Body and Frame/Doors, Hood and Trunk/Doors/Front Door/Front Door

Door Switch: Description and Operation Door Ajar Switch - Operation
DOOR
The door ajar switches are actuated by the mechanisms internal to the door latch. When a door is
closed and properly latched, its door ajar switch is an open circuit. When a door is open or only
partially latched, the door ajar switch is a closed circuit. The rear door ajar switches are hard wired
in series between a body ground and the Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also
known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). On vehicles not equipped with the optional memory
system, the front door ajar switches are also hard wired in series between ground and the EMIC.
On vehicles equipped with the optional memory system each front door ajar switch is hard wired in
series between ground and its respective driver or passenger Memory Mirror Module (MMM)
located in the front door. The MMM then sends electronic door ajar switch status messages to the
EMIC over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. Both the EMIC and the MMM read the
hard wired door ajar switch inputs through internal pull-ups, then use these inputs to control many
electronic functions and features of the vehicle.
The door ajar switches as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switches may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Outside Temperature Display Sensor: Description and Operation Ambient Temperature Sensor Operation
OPERATION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable resistor that operates on a five-volt reference signal
sent to it by the A/C-heater control. The resistance in the sensor changes as temperature changes,
changing the temperature sensor signal circuit voltage to the A/C-heater control. Based upon the
resistance in the sensor, the A/C-heater control senses a specific voltage on the temperature
sensor signal circuit, which it is programmed to correspond to a specific temperature.

Outside Temperature Display Sensor: Testing and Inspection
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The temperature function is supported by the ambient temperature sensor, a wiring circuit, the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus circuit and the Integrated Power Module (IPM). When the
sensor is exposed to temperatures above 55° C (131° F), or if the sensor circuit is shorted, 60° C
(130/140° F) will appear in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) display in place of the
temperature. When the sensor is exposed to temperatures below -40° C (-40° F) or if the sensor
circuit is open, - - ° C (- - ° F) will be displayed on the EVIC.
The ambient temperature sensor and circuit can also be diagnosed using the following Sensor
Test, and Sensor Circuit Test. If the temperature sensor and circuit are confirmed to be OK, but the
temperature display is inoperative or incorrect, further testing of the CAN data bus, IPM and base
EVIC system is necessary.
SENSOR TEST
1. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor harness
connector. 2. Measure the resistance of the ambient temperature sensor. At - 40° C (- 40° F), the
sensor resistance is 336 kilo ohms. At 55° C (130° F), the
sensor resistance is 2.488 kilo ohms. The sensor resistance should read between these two
values. If OK, perform further diagnosis of the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
system, See: Driver/Vehicle Information Display/Testing and Inspection. If not OK, replace the
inoperative ambient temperature sensor.
SENSOR CIRCUIT TEST
For complete circuit 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. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Disconnect the wire harness connector from the
ambient temperature sensor.
NOTE: Temperature readings do not update immediately. Allow up to 60 seconds after the ignition
switch is turned to the On position for
readings to meet test specifications.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. The EVIC display should now read - - ° C (- - ° F). If
OK, go to 3. If not OK, repair the shorted sensor
return circuit or ambient temperature sensor signal circuit to the ambient temperature sensor as
required.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Taking care not to damage the wire terminals,
connect a jumper wire between the two terminals in the
body half of the ambient temperature sensor harness connector. Turn the ignition switch to the On
position. The EVIC display should now read 60 ° C (130/140° F). If OK, go to 4. If not OK, repair
the open sensor return circuit or ambient temperature sensor signal circuit to the ambient
temperature sensor as required.
NOTE: If the EVIC display does not show the ambient temperature in step 4, the vehicle may need
to be driven several miles at a speed
greater than 32 km/h (20 mph) for the temperature to update.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Remove the jumper wire. Turn the ignition switch to
the On position and wait until the EVIC display
again reads - - ° C (- - ° F). Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Reconnect the ambient
temperature sensor. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. The EVIC display should now read
the ambient temperature. If OK, the problem is intermittent. Perform further diagnosis while
manipulating the related wire harnesses and components. If not OK, go to 5
5. Clear any Diagnostic Trouble Codes that may have been set while performing the test. Perform
further diagnosis of the CAN data bus circuit, the
IPM and the ambient temperature sensor (refer to the SENSOR TEST).

Speedometer Head: Description and Operation Speedometer - Description
DESCRIPTION
A speedometer is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The speedometer is located in the
center of the instrument cluster, between the tachometer and the minor gauge set. The
speedometer consists of a movable gauge needle or pointer controlled by the instrument cluster
circuitry and a fixed 210 degree primary scale on the gauge dial face that reads left-to-right either
from 0 to 120 mph, or from 0 to 200 km/h, depending upon the market for which the vehicle is
manufactured. Each version also has a secondary inner scale on the gauge dial face that provides
the equivalent opposite units from the primary scale. Text appearing on the cluster overlay above
the hub of the speedometer needle abbreviates the unit of measure for the primary scale (either
MPH or km/h), followed by the unit of measure for the secondary scale.
The speedometer graphics are black (primary scale) and blue (secondary scale) against a white
field, making them clearly visible within the instrument cluster in daylight. When illuminated from
behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled cluster general illumination lighting with the exterior
lamps turned ON, the white gauge dial face appears blue-green with the black and blue graphics
silhouetted against the illuminated background and the red gauge needle still appears red. Gauge
illumination is provided by an integral electro-luminescent lamp that is serviced as a unit with the
instrument cluster.
The speedometer is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Speedometer Head: Description and Operation Speedometer - Operation
OPERATION
The speedometer gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the vehicle road speed. This gauge
is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic
messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller
Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The speedometer is an air core magnetic unit that receives battery current on the instrument
cluster electronic circuit board through the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit whenever
the ignition switch is in the ON or START positions. The cluster is programmed to move the gauge
needle back to the low end of the scale after the ignition switch turns to the OFF position. The
instrument cluster circuitry controls the gauge needle position and provides the following features:
- Vehicle Speed Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic vehicle speed message
from the PCM it calculates the correct vehicle speed reading and position the gauge needle at that
relative speed position on the gauge scale. The cluster receives a new message and reposition the
gauge pointer accordingly about every 88 milliseconds. The gauge needle continually positions at
the relative vehicle speed position on the gauge scale until the vehicle stops moving, or until the
ignition switch turns to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster fails to receive a speed message, it holds the gauge needle
at the last indication for about three seconds, or until the ignition switch turns to the OFF position,
whichever occurs first. After three seconds, the gauge needle returns to the left end of the gauge
scale.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the speedometer needle is swept to
several calibration points on the gauge scale in a prescribed sequence in order to confirm the
functionality of the gauge and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) to determine the vehicle road
speed. The PCM then sends the proper vehicle speed messages to the instrument cluster, also
known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the speedometer or the
instrument cluster circuitry that controls the gauge, See: Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and
Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the VSS, the PCM, the CCN, the CAN data bus
or the electronic communication related to speedometer operation. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

DESCRIPTION
A tachometer is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The tachometer is located to the
right side of the instrument cluster, just right of the speedometer. The tachometer consists of a
movable gauge needle or pointer controlled by the instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 210
degree scale on the gauge dial face that reads left-to-right from 0 to 7. The text RPM X 1000
imprinted on the cluster overlay directly above the hub of the tachometer needle identifies that each
number on the tachometer scale is to be multiplied by 1000 rpm.
The tachometer graphics are black against a white field, making them clearly visible within the
instrument cluster in daylight. When illuminated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled
cluster general illumination lighting with the exterior lamps turned ON, the white gauge dial face
appears blue-green with the black graphics silhouetted against the illuminated background and the

Temperature Gauge: Description and Operation Temperature Gauge - Description
DESCRIPTION
An engine coolant temperature gauge is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This gauge
is part of the minor gauge set with the fuel gauge located on the left side of the instrument cluster,
just left of the speedometer. The gauge consists of a movable gauge needle or pointer controlled
by the instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 90 degree gauge scale on the cluster overlay that
reads bottom-to-top from C (or Cold) to H (or Hot). An International Control and Display Symbol
icon for Engine Coolant Temperature is located on the cluster overlay, directly below the bottom
end of the scale.
The engine coolant temperature gauge graphics are black against a white field except for a single
red graduation at the high end of the gauge scale, making them clearly visible within the instrument
cluster in daylight. When illuminated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled cluster
general illumination lighting with the exterior lamps turned ON, the white gauge dial face appears

Temperature Gauge: Description and Operation Temperature Gauge - Operation
OPERATION
The engine coolant temperature gauge gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the engine
coolant temperature. This gauge is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon
cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The engine coolant temperature gauge is an air core magnetic unit that receives battery current on
the instrument cluster electronic circuit board through the fused ignition switch output (run-start)
circuit whenever the ignition switch is in the ON or START positions. The cluster is programmed to
move the gauge needle back to the low end of the scale after the ignition switch is turned to the off
position. The instrument cluster circuitry controls the gauge needle position and provides the
following features:
- Engine Temperature Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic engine temperature
message from the PCM indicating the temperature is between the low end of normal [about 54 °C
(130 °F)] and the high end of normal [about 122 °C (252 °F)], the gauge needle moves to the actual
relative temperature position on the gauge scale.
- Engine Temperature Low Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic engine
temperature message from the PCM indicating the temperature is below the low end of normal
[about 54 °C (130 °F)], the gauge needle is held at the C increment at the low end of the gauge
scale. The gauge needle remains at the low end of the gauge scale until the cluster receives a
message from the PCM indicating that the temperature is above about 54 °C (130 °F), or until the
ignition switch turns to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Engine Temperature High Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic engine
temperature message from the PCM indicating the temperature is above about 122 °C (252 °F),
the gauge needle moves to the red zone at the high end of the gauge scale, the engine
temperature indicator illuminates and a single chime tone is sounded. The gauge needle remains in
the red zone and the engine temperature indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a
message from the PCM indicating that the temperature is below about 122 °C (252 °F), or until the
ignition switch turns to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. The chime tone feature only
repeats during the same ignition cycle if the engine temperature indicator is cycled off then on
again by the appropriate messages from the PCM.
- Communication Error - If the cluster fails to receive an engine temperature message, it holds the
gauge needle at the last indication for about five seconds or until the ignition switch turns to the
OFF position, whichever occurs first. After five seconds, the cluster moves the gauge needle to the
low end of the gauge scale.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the engine coolant temperature
gauge needle is swept to several calibration points on the gauge scale in a prescribed sequence in
order to confirm the functionality of the gauge and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the engine coolant temperature sensor to determine the engine
operating temperature. The PCM then sends the proper messages to the instrument cluster, also
known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the engine coolant
temperature gauge or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the gauge, See: Instrument
Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection. If the instrument cluster turns on the engine temperature
indicator due to a high engine temperature gauge reading, it may indicate that the engine or the
engine cooling system requires service.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the engine coolant temperature sensor, the
PCM, the CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to engine coolant
temperature gauge operation. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Temperature Warning Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Engine Temperature Lamp Description
DESCRIPTION
An engine temperature indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The engine
temperature indicator is located near the upper edge of the instrument cluster, between the minor
gauge set and the speedometer.
The engine temperature indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and
Display Symbol icon for Engine Coolant Temperature in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster
overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it
is not illuminated. A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The engine temperature indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Temperature Warning Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Engine Temperature Lamp Operation
OPERATION
The engine temperature indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the engine
temperature gauge reading reflects a condition requiring immediate attention. This indicator is
controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming
and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over
the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The engine temperature indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the
instrument cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the LED is always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START.
The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor.
The instrument cluster turns on the engine temperature indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the on position the engine temperature indicator
illuminates for about two seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the PCM.
- Engine Temperature High Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic engine
temperature message from the PCM indicating the temperature is above about 122 °C (252 °F),
the engine temperature indicator illuminates and a single chime tone is sounded. The indicator
remains illuminated until the cluster receives a message from the PCM indicating that the
temperature is below about 119 °C (246 °F), or until the ignition switch is turned to the off position,
whichever occurs first. The chime tone feature only repeats during the same ignition cycle if the
engine temperature indicator is cycled off, then on again by the appropriate messages from the
PCM.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the engine temperature indicator will
be turned on, then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of
the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the engine coolant temperature sensor to determine the engine
operating temperature. The PCM then sends the proper messages to the instrument cluster, also
known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the engine temperature
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, See: Instrument Cluster /
Carrier/Testing and Inspection. If the instrument cluster turns ON the engine temperature indicator
due to a high engine temperature gauge reading, it may indicate that the engine or the engine
cooling system requires service.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the engine coolant temperature sensor, the
PCM, the CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to engine temperature
indicator operation. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

DESCRIPTION
A Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However,
on vehicles not equipped with the optional TPM, this indicator is electronically disabled. This
indicator is located in the speedometer dial face to the left of the speedometer needle hub in the
instrument cluster overlay.
The TPM indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of an icon that represents a cross-section of a
tire with a centered exclamation point in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The
dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The TPM indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Description and Operation Low Tire Pressure Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the status
of the TPM system. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit
board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the
Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM), over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The TPM indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a
battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED
always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster turns on the TPM indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the SKREEM sends an
electronic TPM indicator lamp-on message to the cluster to illuminate the TPM indicator for about
three seconds as a bulb test.
- TPM Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic TPM indicator
lamp-on message from the SKREEM, the TPM indicator illuminates. The indicator can be flashed
on and off, or illuminated solid, as dictated by the SKREEM message. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the SKREEM or until the ignition
switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no TPM lamp-on or lamp-off messages from the
SKREEM for six consecutive seconds, the TPM indicator is illuminated by the instrument cluster.
The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid lamp-on or lamp-off
message is received from the SKREEM.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the TPM indicator turns on, then off
again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the
cluster control circuitry.
The SKREEM performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position to
decide whether the TPM system is in good operating condition and whether the tire inflation
pressures are too high or low. The SKREEM then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message
to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). If the instrument
cluster turns on the TPM indicator after the bulb test, it indicates that the inflation pressure of a tire
is too low or that a malfunction has occurred and the TPM system is ineffective.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the TPM system, the SKREEM, the CCN, the
CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to TPM indicator operation. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

PREMIUM SYSTEM
A transponder, also known as a trigger module, is located in three of the four wheel wells (behind
the wheelhouse splash shields) of the vehicle to provide the WCM/SKREEM with the location of the
tire pressure sensors on the vehicle. A fourth transponder is not necessary in the remaining wheel
well due to the process-of-elimination theory. Once the system knows the location of the first three
sensors it assumes the location of the fourth tire pressure sensor.

(TPM) Transponder - Operation
OPERATION NUMBER: PREMIUM SYSTEM On vehicles equipped with the premium TPM
system, the Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote
Entry Module (SKREEM), uses transponders (trigger modules) located in three of the four wheel
wells on the vehicle to provide it with the location of the tire pressure sensors on the vehicle. Like
the base system, the WCM receives RF signals from all four rotating wheel speed sensors. When
the WCM needs to know which sensor is located at a particular location on the vehicle, it directs
the transponder at that location to send out a low frequency signal to excite the nearby sensor. The
WCM then receives that excited signal and knows where that sensor is located. This auto-locating
process only happens in the first 10 minutes of any WCM cycle while traveling at speeds above 20
mph (32 km/h) (Each WCM cycle ends when the vehicle has been shut off for a time period of
approximately 15 minutes or longer). Once the WCM has performed this to the three locations that
have transponders (left front, right front, and left rear wheel wells), it uses the
process-of-elimination theory to know that the fourth sensor ID signal is coming from the left rear
tire sensor.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures have been established for the tire size
equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. After-market wheels can
cause sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire sealants or balance beads if your vehicle is
equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
NOTE: After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always reinstall the valve stem cap. This will
prevent moisture and dirt from entering
the valve stem, which could damage the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor.
CAUTION: Tire pressure sensor valve stem caps and cores are specially designed for the sensors.
Due to risk of corrosion, do not use a
standard valve stem cap or core in a tire pressure sensor in place of the original equipment style
sensor cap and core.
CAUTION: After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always reinstall the valve stem cap. This
will prevent moisture and dirt from
entering the valve stem, which could damage the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new seal, cap and valve core must
be installed on the stem to ensure air tight
sealing.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system
accuracy.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensor Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System, one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel in place of the
traditional tire valve stem. Each sensor has an internal battery that lasts up to 10 years. The battery
is not serviceable. At the time of battery failure, the sensor must be replaced. The TPM system
operates on a 315 or 433 MHz radio frequency. The 315 MHz sensors can be easily identified by a
black sensor body, with (an oval insignia) (1). The 433 MHz sensors can be identified by a grey
sensor body with an oval insignia.
NOTE: If replacing the WCM, the spare tire must be dismounted from its wheel to access and note
the spare tire pressure sensor ID. Then
follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for "Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID"
under Miscellaneous Functions for the WCM wireless control module menu item as appropriate. In
addition, the placard pressure thresholds must be updated in the new WCM. Go to "Update
Pressure Thresholds" under Miscellaneous Functions for the WCM wireless control module and
follow the procedure.
On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System, one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel in place of the traditional tire valve stem. Each sensor has an internal
battery that lasts up to 10 years. The battery is not serviceable. At the time of battery failure, the
sensor must be replaced.
The TPM system operates on a 315 MHz radio frequency. The 315 MHz sensors can be easily
identified by a black sensor body, with (an oval insignia) (1) and a grey valve cap (2).
The Export TPM system operates on a 433 MHz radio frequency. The 433 MHz sensors can be
easily identified by a gray sensor body (with an oval insignia) and a black valve cap (2).
CAUTION: Although 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and shape, they are not
interchangeable. Always make sure the
correct sensor is being used.
NOTE: Domestic vehicles, use the 315 MHz TPM sensors with the BLACK sensor body. For Export
vehicles, use the 433 MHz TPM sensors
with the GREY sensor body. Although 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and
shape, they are not interchangeable. Always make sure the correct color sensor is being used. A
RKE-TPM Analyzer can be used to determine the sensor's frequency without having to dismount
the tire.
NOTE: If aftermarket wheels are installed and do not contain tire pressure sensors, the system will
not function properly and the driver will
be continuously notified of a system malfunction.
The TPM sensors are designed for original style factory wheels. It is not recommended to install a
tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. (This could cause sealing and system performance
issues).

The serviceable components of the tire pressure sensor are:
- Sensor-To-Wheel Seal (4)
- Valve Stem Cap (2)
- Valve Stem Core
- Valve Stem Nut (3)
The valve stem caps and cores used are specifically designed for the tire pressure monitoring
sensors. Although similar to standard valve stem caps and cores, they are different. The valve
stem cap has a special seal inside to keep moisture and corrosion out. The valve stem core has a
special nickel coating to protect from corrosion.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensor Operation
OPERATION
The battery operated tire pressure sensor is both a transmitter and a receiver. The TPM sensor can
be forced to transmit if using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor's operating mode and to diagnose a
faulty TPM sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission
from a sensor. The TPM sensor can be in one of the following modes:
- Sleep Mode - A new TPM sensor will be in this mode. If placed on the vehicle as a road tire, the
TPM sensor will transmit once every 20 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15 mph
(24 km/h). If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a pressure change greater
then 1 psi (6.9 kPA). Driving the vehicle continuously at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h) for more
then 4 minutes will change the sensor state into 30 BLOCK MODE. The TPM sensor will not return
to SLEEP MODE. Now, if the vehicle has been stopped for 20 minutes, the TPM sensor state will
change to PARK MODE.
- Park Mode - This is the correct operating mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will
transmit once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 1 PSI delta change. The
sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to determine a change
in tire pressure
30 Block Mode - If the vehicle has been stopped for more then 20 minutes, or if the sensor's
operating mode was forced to Park Mode using a TPM-RKE Analyzer, the sensor's operating mode
will transition from Park Mode to 30 Block Mode once the vehicle is driven over 15mph. In this
mode, the sensor will transmit once every 15 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15
mph (24 km/h) for the first 30 transmissions. After about 8 minutes of continuous driving above 15
mph (24 km/h), the sensor's mode will change to Drive Mode
- Drive Mode - In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every minute when the vehicle is driven
at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). At any time that the vehicle speed drops below 15mph, the
sensor will not transmit. The sensor mode will still be in drive mode when the sensor reaches
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). If the vehicle has been stationary for more then 20 minutes, the
TPM sensor will change to PARK MODE.
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the wireless control module (WCM)
can monitor the state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The WCM can
automatically learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 10 minutes continuously above
15 m.p.h. (24 Km/h)" after a sensor has been replaced, The vehicle must be stationary for more
then 20 minutes in order to initiate the learning sequence.
The sensor IDs can also be programmed using the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool. Scan each TPM
sensor at each road wheel, and store each Sensor ID in the correct location. (LEFT FRONT, LEFT
REAR, RIGHT FRONT, and RIGHT REAR) Connect the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool to the Scan Tool.
Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic Scan Tool for "Program Tire Pressure
Sensor ID w/ TPM Tool" under "MISC" for the "WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE".

Traction Control Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation ESP With BAS Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
An Electronic Stability Program/Brake Assist System (ESP/BAS) indicator is standard equipment
on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located in the center of the speedometer, in the area
below and to the left of the speedometer needle hub.
The ESP/BAS indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text ESP BAS in the opaque layer of
the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in
the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent
outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The ESP/BAS indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Traction Control Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation ESP With BAS Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The ESP/BAS indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when a problem has been
detected in the Electronic Stability Program (ESP)/Brake Assist System (BAS). This indicator is
controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming
and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB) and the
Front Control Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The ESP/BAS indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED is always off when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only
illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument
cluster will turn on the ESP/BAS indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch turns to the on position the ESP/BAS indicator
illuminates for about four seconds as a bulb test.
- ESP/BAS Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic ESP/BAS
indicator lamp-on message from the CAB or the FCM, the ESP/BAS indicator illuminates. The
indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the CAB or FCM,
or until the ignition switch is turned to the off position, whichever occurs first.
self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the ESP/BAS indicator turns on, then
off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the
cluster control circuitry.
The CAB and FCM continually monitor the ESP/BAS system circuits and sensors to decide
whether the system is in good operating condition and the proper outputs to the components of the
system. The CAB or FCM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-off message to the instrument
cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN).
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the ESP/BAS system, the CAB, the FCM, the
CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to ESP/BAS indicator operation.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

turns on the traction control indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the traction control indicator
is illuminated for about four seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the CAB.
- Traction Control Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic
traction control indicator lamp-on message from the CAB indicating that the ESP/BAS/TCS has
been activated, the traction control indicator illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated until the
cluster receives a lamp-off message from the CAB, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF
position, whichever occurs first.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the traction control indicator turns on,
then off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and
the cluster control circuitry.
The CAB continually monitors the status of the inputs to the ESP/BAS/TCS systems to determine
the proper outputs to the components of the Antilock Brake System (ABS). The CAB then sends
the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab
Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the traction control indicator or the instrument
cluster circuitry that controls the indicator, See: Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the ESP/BAS/TCS, the CAB, the CCN, the CAN

Transmission Shift Position Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Transmission Range
Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
An electronic automatic transmission gear selector indicator is standard factory-installed equipment
on this vehicle. The gear selector indicator information is displayed in an electronic, blue-green
Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. This VFD unit is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit
board and is visible through a window with a smoked clear lens located below the tachometer in
the lower right area of the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD prevents the indicator from
being clearly visible when it is not illuminated.
The gear selector indicator displays the following characters from left to right: P, R, N, D, 2, and 1.
Each character appears in a blue-green color and at the same lighting level as the odometer
information. Respectively, these characters represent the PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE,
second gear, and first gear positions of the transmission gear selector lever on the steering
column. The indicator also illuminates a rectangular box around the character that represents the
currently selected lever position.
During daylight hours (exterior lamps are OFF) the gear selector indicator is illuminated at full
brightness for clear visibility. At night (exterior lamps are ON), the indicator lighting level is adjusted
with the other cluster general illumination lamps using the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the
headlamp switch. However, a PARADE mode position of the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel
allows the indicator to be illuminated at full brightness if the exterior lamps are turned ON during
daylight hours.
The gear selector indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD unit in the instrument cluster.

Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The electronic gear selector indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the transmission
gear that has been selected with the automatic transmission gear selector lever. This indicator is
controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic
messages received from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller Area Network
(CAN) data bus.
The gear selector indicator information is displayed by the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum
Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board, and
the VFD will not display the gear selector indicator information after the ignition switch turns to the
off position. Each time the cluster is disconnected from battery current for more than about five
minutes, it must configure itself for the automatic transmission type that is in the vehicle once it is
reconnected to battery current. The instrument cluster circuitry operates the gear selector indicator
to provide the following features:
- Selected Gear Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic selected gear message
from the PCM, a box illuminates around the appropriate character in the gear selector indicator.
The box remains illuminated until the cluster receives a different selected gear message, or until
the ignition switch turns to the off position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster fails to receive a selected gear message from the PCM within
three seconds, the instrument cluster circuitry displays all gear selector positions boxed (selected)
until a valid selected gear message is received or until the ignition switch turns to the off position,
whichever occurs first.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the odometer/trip odometer VFD
displays all of its characters at once, then step through each character segment individually during
the VFD portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the VFD and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors a hardwired multiplex input from the Transmission Range Sensor
(TRS), then sends the proper message to the instrument cluster, also known as the Cab
Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the gear selector indicator or the instrument
cluster circuitry that controls this function, See: Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the TRS, the PCM, the CCN, the CAN data bus
or the electronic communication related to gear selector indicator operation. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Brake Lamp Relay: Description and Operation Stop Lamp Inhibit Relay - Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with an optional Electronic Stability Program (ESP)/Traction Control System
(TCS) package have a stop lamp inhibit relay. The relay is contained within a small, rectangular,
molded plastic housing and is connected to all of the required inputs and outputs through four
integral male spade-type terminals that extend from the relay base plate.
The stop lamp inhibit relay is located in the Junction Block (JB) in the passenger compartment on
the driver side cowl side inner panel below the end of the instrument panel.
The stop lamp inhibit relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the unit
must be replaced.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Brake Lamp Relay > Component Information >
Description and Operation > Stop Lamp Inhibit Relay - Description > Page 10009
Brake Lamp Relay: Description and Operation Stop Lamp Inhibit Relay - Operation
OPERATION
The stop lamp inhibit relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current input from the
Controller Antilock Brake (CAB) to interrupt a high current output from the brake lamp switch to the
brake lamps. Within the relay is an electromagnetic coil, a movable contact and two fixed contact
points. A resistor is connected in parallel with the coil, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and
electromagnetic interference that can be generated as the field of the relay coil collapses.
The movable common supply 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 field draws the movable contact away from the normally closed contact, and
holds it against the normally open contact. When the relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure
returns the movable contact back against the normally closed contact.
The inputs and outputs of the stop lamp inhibit relay include:
- Common Supply Terminal (30) - The common feed terminal is connected to the output of the
brake lamp switch at all times.
- Coil Ground Terminal (85) - The coil ground terminal is connected to a control output of the CAB
through a stop lamp inhibit relay control circuit. The CAB controls brake lamp operation by
controlling a ground path through this circuit.
- Coil Battery Terminal (86) - The coil battery terminal is connected to a fused ignition switch output
(run-start) circuit at all times.
- Normally Closed Terminal (87A) - The normally closed terminal is connected to the brake lamps
through a brake lamp switch output circuit and provides battery voltage to the brake lamps
whenever the relay is de-energized.
The stop lamp inhibit relay as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the relay may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Brake Light Switch: Description and Operation Stop Lamp Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The brake lamp switch controls three independent circuits. These circuits are described as follows:
- Brake Lamp Switch Circuit - A normally open brake lamp switch circuit receives a battery voltage
input, and supplies this battery voltage to the brake lamps and the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB)
on a brake lamp switch output circuit only when the brake pedal is depressed (brake lamp switch
plunger released).
- Brake Lamp Switch Signal Circuit - A normally closed brake lamp switch signal circuit receives a
direct path to ground, and supplies this ground input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on a
brake lamp switch sense circuit only when the brake pedal is released (brake lamp switch plunger
is depressed).
- Speed Control Circuit - A normally closed speed control circuit receives a battery voltage input
from the Powertrain Control Module on a speed control supply circuit, and supplies this battery
voltage to the speed control servo solenoids (dump, vacuum, and vent) on a speed control brake
switch output circuit only when the speed control system is turned ON and the brake pedal is
released (brake lamp switch plunger is depressed).
The components of the self-adjusting brake switch plunger consist of a two-piece telescoping
plunger, a split plunger locking collar, and a release wedge. The release lever has a shaft with a
wedge that spreads the plunger locking collar to an open or released position. After the switch is
installed and the brake pedal is released, the plunger telescopes to the correct adjustment position.
When the release lever is moved to the release position, the wedge is disengaged from the locking
collar causing the collar to apply a clamping pressure to the two plunger halves, fixing the plunger
length.
The brake lamp switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

DOOR
The door ajar switches are actuated by the mechanisms internal to the door latch. When a door is
closed and properly latched, its door ajar switch is an open circuit. When a door is open or only
partially latched, the door ajar switch is a closed circuit. The rear door ajar switches are hard wired
in series between a body ground and the Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also
known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). On vehicles not equipped with the optional memory
system, the front door ajar switches are also hard wired in series between ground and the EMIC.
On vehicles equipped with the optional memory system each front door ajar switch is hard wired in
series between ground and its respective driver or passenger Memory Mirror Module (MMM)
located in the front door. The MMM then sends electronic door ajar switch status messages to the
EMIC over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. Both the EMIC and the MMM read the
hard wired door ajar switch inputs through internal pull-ups, then use these inputs to control many
electronic functions and features of the vehicle.
The door ajar switches as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switches may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Fog/Driving Lamp Indicator: Description and Operation Fog Lamp Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A fog lamp indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not
equipped with optional fog lamps, this indicator is electronically disabled. This indicator is located
within the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit.
The fog lamp indicator consists of the International Control and Display Symbol icon for Front Fog
Light in the lower left corner of the VFD unit. The VFD unit is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board, and is visible through a window with a smoked clear lens located on the
lower edge of the speedometer gauge dial face of the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD
prevents the icon from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. The fog lamp indicator icon
appears in a blue-green color and at the same lighting level as the odometer information when it is
illuminated by the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
During daylight hours (exterior lamps are OFF) the VFD unit is illuminated at full brightness for
clear visibility. At night (exterior lamps are ON), the VFD unit lighting level is adjusted with the other
cluster illumination lamps using the panel lamps dimmer function of the interior lighting thumbwheel
on the headlamp switch. However, a PARADE mode position of the thumbwheel allows the VFD
unit to be illuminated at full brightness if the exterior lamps are turned ON during daylight hours.
The fog lamp indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD unit in the instrument cluster.

Fog/Driving Lamp Indicator: Description and Operation Fog Lamp Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The fog lamp indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator whenever the optional fog lamps
are illuminated. This indicator is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon
cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Front Control
Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The fog lamp indicator is completely controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit. This logic only
allows the indicator to operate whenever the instrument cluster receives a battery current input on
the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the indicator is always off when the
ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The indicator only illuminates when it is
energized by the instrument cluster logic circuit. The instrument cluster turns on the fog lamp
indicator for the following reasons:
- Fog Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic fog indicator
lamp-on message from the FCM indicating the fog lamp relay is energized, the fog lamp indicator
illuminates. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from
the FCM, until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position or until the exterior lamp load
shedding (battery saver) timed interval expires, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the fog lamp indicator turns
on, then off again during the VFD portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the VFD and the
cluster control circuitry.
The FCM continually monitors electronic exterior lighting switch status messages from the
instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN) to determine the appropriate
outputs to the fog lamp relay. The FCM activates or deactivates the fog lamp relay then sends the
proper lamp-on or lamp-off message back to the CCN. For further diagnosis of the fog lamp
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the indicator, See: Instrument Panel,
Gauges and Warning Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the fog lamp system, the FCM, the CCN, the
CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to fog lamp indicator operation. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

DESCRIPTION
The front fog lamp relay is a conventional International Standards Organization (ISO) micro relay.
Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical dimensions, current capacities,
terminal patterns, and terminal functions. This relay is contained within a small, rectangular,
molded plastic housing and is connected to all of the required inputs and outputs through five
integral male spade-type terminals that extend from the relay base plate.
The front fog lamp relay is located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) in the engine
compartment near the battery. Refer to the layout label on the underside of the PDC cover for
specific relay cavity assignment information.
The front fog lamp relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the unit
must be replaced.

Fog/Driving Lamp Relay: Description and Operation Front Fog Lamp Relay - Operation
OPERATION
The front fog lamp relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current input from the Front
Control Module (FCM) (also referred to as the Integrated Power Module/IPM) to control a high
current output to the front fog lamps. Within the relay are an electromagnetic coil, a movable
contact and two fixed contact points. A resistor is connected in parallel with the coil, and helps to
dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be generated as the field of the
relay coil collapses.
The movable common supply 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 field draws the movable contact away from the normally closed contact, and
holds it against the normally open contact. When the relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure
returns the movable contact back against the normally closed contact.
The inputs and outputs of the front fog lamp relay include:
- Common Supply Terminal (30) - The common feed terminal is connected to a fused B(+) circuit at
all times.
- Coil Ground Terminal (85) - The coil ground terminal is connected to a fused B(+) circuit at all
times.
- Coil Battery Terminal (86) - The coil battery terminal is connected to a control output of the FCM
through a fog lamp relay control circuit. The FCM controls front fog lamp operation by controlling a
ground path through this circuit.
- Normally Open Terminal (87) - The normally open terminal is connected to the front fog lamps
through a fog lamp relay output circuit and provides battery voltage to the front fog lamps whenever
the relay is energized.
- Normally Closed Terminal (87A) - The normally closed terminal is not connected to any circuit in
this application, but will have battery voltage present whenever the relay is de-energized.
The front fog lamp relay as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the relay may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Headlamp Dimmer Switch: Description and Operation Multifunction Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The multi-function switch (3) is located on the steering column, just below the steering wheel. The
only visible components of the multi-function switch are the control stalk (2) and control knob (1)
that extend through the steering column shrouds on the left side of the column, and the hazard
warning push button (4) that extends through the shroud on the top of the column. The remainder
of the switch including its mounting provisions, its electrical connection, and the turn signal cancel
actuator (5) are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing and controls are constructed of molded black plastic. Each of the switch
controls has white International Control and Display Symbol graphics applied to it, which clearly
identify its many functions. Three integral locating posts on the switch housing, one on the top and
two on the bottom, slide into channels in a receptacle on the left side of the multi-function switch
mounting housing near the top of the steering column to ensure proper positioning of the switch.
Then two screws secure the switch to the mounting housing. A single integral connector receptacle
containing four terminal pins on the back of the switch housing connects the switch to the vehicle
electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The multi-function switch provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the following
functions:
- Front Washer Control - The multi-function switch control knob provides a momentary front WASH
position for front washer system operation.
- Front Wiper Control - The multi-function switch control knob provides two continuous front wipe
switch positions, LOW speed or HIGH speed; and an intermittent front wipe mode with five delay
interval positions.
Hazard Warning Control - The multi-function switch hazard warning push button provides two
detent positions (ON and OFF) to control the hazard warning lamps.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The multi-function switch control stalk provides detent switching for
selection of the headlamp HIGH or LOW beams. There is also an intermediate momentary position
that allows the headlamp high beam circuits to be momentarily flashed to provide an optical horn
feature (sometimes referred to as flash-to-pass) as an optical signalling device.
- Turn Signal Control - The multi-function switch control stalk provides momentary non-detent (lane
change) switching or detent switching with automatic cancellation for both the left and right turn
signal lamps.
The multi-function switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If any function of the switch is ineffective,
or if the switch is damaged, the entire switch must be replaced as a unit.

Headlamp Dimmer Switch: Description and Operation Multifunction Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The multi-function switch uses resistor multiplexing to control the many functions and features it
provides using only three hard wired output circuits. The switch receives a clean ground from the
Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN)
on a multi-function switch return circuit. It then provides outputs to the EMIC on a wash/beam
select switch signal circuit to control front washer and headlamp beam selection, on an intermittent
wiper switch signal circuit to control front wipers, and on a turn lamps switch signal circuit to control
turn signal and hazard warning functions.
The multi-function switch operates as follows:
- Front Washer Control - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch control stalk is
depressed towards the steering column to momentarily activate the washer pump in the front
WASH mode. The washer pump will continue to operate in the front washer mode until the control
knob is released or for 10 continuous seconds, whichever occurs first. The multi-function switch
provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic front washer switch
status messages to the Front Control Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus. The FCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the washer pump in the front washer
mode.
- Front Wiper Control - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch control stalk is
rotated to one of the continuous front wiper detents, to one of five intermittent wiper detents, or to
the OFF position to select the front wiper mode. The multi-function switch provides an output to the
EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic front wiper switch status messages to the
FCM over the CAN data bus. The FCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the wiper on/off
and high/low relays in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) for front wiper system control.
- Hazard Warning Control - The hazard warning push button of the multi-function switch is
depressed to activate the hazard warning system, and depressed again to turn the system OFF.
When the push button is actuated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and
the EMIC responds by sending electronic hazard switch status messages to the FCM over the CAN
data bus. The FCM then energizes and flashes or de-energizes both the left and right turn signal
circuits to provide the visual hazard warning.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The control stalk of the multi-function switch is pulled towards the
steering wheel past a detent to actuate the integral beam select switch circuitry, or to an
intermediate, momentary position before the detent to actuate the optical horn feature. Each time
the control stalk is actuated to a detent position, the opposite headlamp beam from what is
currently selected will be energized. Each time the control stalk is actuated to the momentary
position with the headlamps turned OFF, the headlamp high beams will be illuminated for as long
as the control stalk is held in this position. The multi-function switch provides an output to the
EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic beam select switch status messages to the
FCM over the CAN data bus. The FCM energizes or de-energizes the selected LOW or HIGH
beam circuits.
- Turn Signal Control - The control stalk of the multi-function switch is moved upward to activate the
RIGHT turn signal circuitry, and, downward to activate the LEFT turn signal circuitry. The turn
signal switch has a detent position in each direction that provides turn signals with automatic
cancellation, and an intermediate, momentary position in each direction that automatically provides
three turn signal blinks as a LANE CHANGE feature when the control stalk is tapped or will
energize the turn signals for as long as the control stalk is held in the momentary position. When
the control stalk is moved to a detent turn signal switch position, the cancel actuator extends
toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is integral to the clockspring
rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the cancel actuator when it is extended
from the multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated during a turning maneuver, one
of the two turn signal cancel cam lobes will contact the turn signal cancel actuator. The cancel
actuator latches against the cancel cam rotation in the direction opposite that which is signaled. If
the LEFT turn signal detent is selected, the lobes of the cancel cam will ratchet past the cancel
actuator when the steering wheel is rotated to the left, but will unlatch the cancel actuator as the
steering wheel rotates to the right and returns to center, which will cancel the turn signal event and
release the control stalk from the detent so it returns to the neutral OFF position. When a turn
signal is activated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC
responds by sending electronic turn signal switch status messages to the FCM over the CAN data
bus. The FCM energizes and flashes or de-energizes the selected left or right turn signal circuits.
The multi-function switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Headlamp Switch: Description and Operation Headlamp Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The headlamp switch (1) is located on the instrument panel, to the left of the steering column.
Three different switches are used. The standard switch features a three-position rotary knob (4) for
exterior lighting control and a thumbwheel (2) for panel lamps dimming and interior lighting control.
An optional switch has a momentary push button (3) added for front fog lamp control. A second
optional switch has the same thumbwheel and momentary push button, but has a fourth position
added to the rotary knob for selecting the optional automatic headlamps feature.
Each of these switches is constructed of molded plastic. The rotary knob is molded plastic and
knurled around its circumference to ease operator control. The thumbwheel is also plastic and
knurled. The optional front fog lamp push button is plastic with a smooth finish and an International
Control and Display Symbol icon for Front Fog Light applied to it. The switch face plate is also
labeled with graphics and icons to clearly identify the many functions of the rotary knob and
thumbwheel.
Three screws secure the switch to the back of the cluster bezel through integral mounting flanges
that are molded to each side of the switch housing. The back of the switch housing has an integral
connector receptacle containing terminal pins that connect the switch to the vehicle electrical
system through a dedicated take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness. A panel
dimmer controlled incandescent bulb soldered to the circuit board within the switch provides back
lighting for visibility at night, but is not serviceable.
The headlamp switch cannot be repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, it must be replaced.

Headlamp Switch: Description and Operation Headlamp Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The headlamp switch uses two resistor multiplexed outputs to control the many functions and
features it provides. The switch receives a clean ground from the Electro mechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) on a headlamp switch return
circuit. It then provides outputs to the EMIC on a headlamp switch signal circuit to control exterior
lighting functions, and on a panel lamps dimmer signal circuit to control panel dimmer and interior
lighting functions.
The switch illumination circuit receives a path to ground at all times through the left instrument
panel ground circuit. The illumination level is controlled by a Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM) output
received from the EMIC on a headlamp switch illumination control circuit. The EMIC controls this
output based upon the dimmer signal select mux input from the headlamp switch.
The headlamp switch operates as follows:
- Front Fog Lamps Control - For vehicles so equipped, the fog lamp push button on the headlamp
switch is depressed to activate or deactivate the optional front fog lamps. The headlamp switch
provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic fog lamp switch
status messages to the Front Control Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus. The FCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the front fog lamp relay in the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) and by sending an electronic message back to the EMIC to control the
front fog lamp indicator.
- Exterior Lighting Control - The rotary knob on the headlamp switch is rotated to a detent position
to activate or deactivate the exterior lighting. The headlamp switch provides an output to the EMIC,
and the EMIC responds by sending electronic exterior lighting switch status messages to the FCM
over the CAN data bus. The FCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the park lamp relay in
the PDC and the high or low beam headlamp circuits, and by sending an electronic message back
to the EMIC to control the high beam indicator. The FCM also remembers which headlamp beams
were last selected using the multi-function switch, and energizes those beams by default the next
time the headlamps are turned ON. If the vehicle is equipped with optional automatic headlamps
and the A (Automatic) position is selected, the EMIC also monitors an input from a sun load sensor
on the instrument panel and, based upon the monitored ambient light levels, responds by
automatically sending appropriate messages to the FCM to turn the exterior lighting ON or OFF
while the ignition switch is in the ON position.
- Interior Lighting Control - The thumbwheel on the headlamp switch is rotated to the dome
DEFEAT, dome ON, PARADE mode, or one of the six panel dimmer detent positions to control the
interior courtesy/dome and panel lamps. The headlamp switch provides an output to the EMIC, and
the EMIC responds by providing the appropriate interior lighting control outputs through its internal
courtesy lamp driver circuits, electronic dimming level messages to other modules over the CAN
data bus, and the proper PWM outputs to control dimming levels through several panel dimmer
illumination control driver circuits.
The headlamp switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

Hi-Beam Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation High Beam Indicator Lamp - Description
DESCRIPTION
A high beam indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located
near the upper edge of the instrument cluster, between the minor gauge set and the speedometer.
The high beam indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display
Symbol icon for High Beam in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer
layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A
blue Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the
indicator to appear in blue through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated
from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The high beam indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Hi-Beam Indicator Lamp > Component Information > Description and
Operation > High Beam Indicator Lamp - Description > Page 10107
Hi-Beam Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation High Beam Indicator Lamp - Operation
OPERATION
The high beam indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator whenever the headlamp high
beams are illuminated. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit
board based upon cluster programming and a hardwired multiplex input received by the cluster
from the headlamp beam select switch circuitry of the multifunction switch on the washer/beam
select switch mux circuit.
The high beam indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate whenever the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused B(+) circuit. Therefore, the LED can be illuminated
regardless of the ignition switch position. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to
ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument cluster turns on the high beam indicator
for the following reasons:
- High Beam Headlamps-On Input - Each time the cluster detects a high beam headlamps-on input
from the headlamp beam select switch circuitry of the multifunction switch on the washer/beam
select switch mux circuit, the headlamp high beams and the high beam indicator illuminates. The
indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a high beam headlamps-on input from the
multifunction switch, or until the exterior lamp load shedding (battery saver) timed interval expires,
whichever occurs first.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the high beam indicator turns on, then
off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the
cluster control circuitry.
The instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN) continually monitors the
headlamp switch and the multifunction switch to determine the proper headlamp low beam and
high beam control. The CCN then sends the proper electronic low beam, high beam lamp-on and
lamp-off messages to the Front Control Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN)
data bus and controls the high beam indicator operation accordingly. For further diagnosis of the
high beam indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the indicator, See: Instrument
Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use conventional diagnostic tools and procedures for the hardwired headlamp switch and
multifunction switch inputs and circuits related to high beam indicator operation. Refer to the
appropriate wiring information. Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the FCM, the
CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to high beam indicator operation.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

DESCRIPTION
The park lamp relay is a conventional International Standards Organization (ISO) micro relay.
Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical dimensions, current capacities,
terminal patterns, and terminal functions. This relay is contained within a small, rectangular,
molded plastic housing and is connected to all of the required inputs and outputs through five
integral male spade-type terminals that extend from the relay base plate.
The park lamp relay is located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) in the engine compartment
near the battery. Refer to the layout label on the underside of the PDC cover for specific relay
cavity assignment information.
The park lamp relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the unit must be

Parking Lamp Relay: Description and Operation Parking Lamp Relay - Operation
OPERATION
The park lamp relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current input from the Front
Control Module (FCM) (also referred to as the Integrated Power Module/IPM) to control a high
current output to the park lamps. Within the relay are an electromagnetic coil, a movable contact
and two fixed contact points. A resistor is connected in parallel with the coil, and helps to dissipate
voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be generated as the field of the relay coil
collapses.
The movable common supply 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 field draws the movable contact away from the normally closed contact, and
holds it against the normally open contact. When the relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure
returns the movable contact back against the normally closed contact.
The inputs and outputs of the park lamp relay include:
- Common Supply Terminal (30) - The common feed terminal is connected to a fused B(+) circuit at
all times.
- Coil Ground Terminal (85) - The coil ground terminal is connected to a fused B(+) circuit at all
times.
- Coil Battery Terminal (86) - The coil battery terminal is connected to a control output of the FCM
through a park lamp relay control circuit. The FCM controls park lamp operation by controlling a
ground path through this circuit.
- Normally Open Terminal (87) - The normally open terminal is connected to the park lamps
through a park lamp relay output circuit and provides battery voltage to the park lamps whenever
the relay is energized.
- Normally Closed Terminal (87A) - The normally closed terminal is not connected to any circuit in
this application, but will have battery voltage present whenever the relay is de-energized.
The park lamp relay as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the relay may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

DESCRIPTION
The brake lamp switch (2) is a three circuit, spring-loaded plunger actuated switch that is secured
to the steering column support bracket under the instrument panel on the driver side of the vehicle.
The molded plastic switch housing has an integral connector receptacle (1) containing six terminal
pins and featuring a Connector Position Assurance (CPA) lock. The switch is connected to the
vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out of the instrument panel wire harness.
The switch plunger (3) extends through a mounting collar (4) on one end of the switch housing. The
plunger has a one time telescoping self-adjustment feature that is activated after the switch is
installed by moving an adjustment release lever (5) on the opposite end of the switch housing
clockwise, until it locks into a position that is horizontal and parallel to the connector receptacle.
An installed brake lamp switch cannot be readjusted or repaired. If the switch is damaged,
ineffective, or removed from its mounting position for any reason, it must be replaced with a new
unit.

Brake Light Switch: Description and Operation Stop Lamp Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The brake lamp switch controls three independent circuits. These circuits are described as follows:
- Brake Lamp Switch Circuit - A normally open brake lamp switch circuit receives a battery voltage
input, and supplies this battery voltage to the brake lamps and the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB)
on a brake lamp switch output circuit only when the brake pedal is depressed (brake lamp switch
plunger released).
- Brake Lamp Switch Signal Circuit - A normally closed brake lamp switch signal circuit receives a
direct path to ground, and supplies this ground input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on a
brake lamp switch sense circuit only when the brake pedal is released (brake lamp switch plunger
is depressed).
- Speed Control Circuit - A normally closed speed control circuit receives a battery voltage input
from the Powertrain Control Module on a speed control supply circuit, and supplies this battery
voltage to the speed control servo solenoids (dump, vacuum, and vent) on a speed control brake
switch output circuit only when the speed control system is turned ON and the brake pedal is
released (brake lamp switch plunger is depressed).
The components of the self-adjusting brake switch plunger consist of a two-piece telescoping
plunger, a split plunger locking collar, and a release wedge. The release lever has a shaft with a
wedge that spreads the plunger locking collar to an open or released position. After the switch is
installed and the brake pedal is released, the plunger telescopes to the correct adjustment position.
When the release lever is moved to the release position, the wedge is disengaged from the locking
collar causing the collar to apply a clamping pressure to the two plunger halves, fixing the plunger
length.
The brake lamp switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

warning push button (4) that extends through the shroud on the top of the column. The remainder
of the switch including its mounting provisions, its electrical connection, and the turn signal cancel
actuator (5) are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing and controls are constructed of molded black plastic. Each of the switch
controls has white International Control and Display Symbol graphics applied to it, which clearly
identify its many functions. Three integral locating posts on the switch housing, one on the top and
two on the bottom, slide into channels in a receptacle on the left side of the multi-function switch
mounting housing near the top of the steering column to ensure proper positioning of the switch.
Then two screws secure the switch to the mounting housing. A single integral connector receptacle
containing four terminal pins on the back of the switch housing connects the switch to the vehicle
electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The multi-function switch provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the following
functions:
- Front Washer Control - The multi-function switch control knob provides a momentary front WASH
position for front washer system operation.
- Front Wiper Control - The multi-function switch control knob provides two continuous front wipe
switch positions, LOW speed or HIGH speed; and an intermittent front wipe mode with five delay
interval positions.
Hazard Warning Control - The multi-function switch hazard warning push button provides two
detent positions (ON and OFF) to control the hazard warning lamps.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The multi-function switch control stalk provides detent switching for
selection of the headlamp HIGH or LOW beams. There is also an intermediate momentary position
that allows the headlamp high beam circuits to be momentarily flashed to provide an optical horn
feature (sometimes referred to as flash-to-pass) as an optical signalling device.
- Turn Signal Control - The multi-function switch control stalk provides momentary non-detent (lane
change) switching or detent switching with automatic cancellation for both the left and right turn
signal lamps.
The multi-function switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If any function of the switch is ineffective,
or if the switch is damaged, the entire switch must be replaced as a unit.

Combination Switch: Description and Operation Multifunction Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The multi-function switch uses resistor multiplexing to control the many functions and features it
provides using only three hard wired output circuits. The switch receives a clean ground from the
Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN)
on a multi-function switch return circuit. It then provides outputs to the EMIC on a wash/beam
select switch signal circuit to control front washer and headlamp beam selection, on an intermittent
wiper switch signal circuit to control front wipers, and on a turn lamps switch signal circuit to control
turn signal and hazard warning functions.
The multi-function switch operates as follows:
- Front Washer Control - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch control stalk is
depressed towards the steering column to momentarily activate the washer pump in the front
WASH mode. The washer pump will continue to operate in the front washer mode until the control
knob is released or for 10 continuous seconds, whichever occurs first. The multi-function switch
provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic front washer switch
status messages to the Front Control Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus. The FCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the washer pump in the front washer
mode.
- Front Wiper Control - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch control stalk is
rotated to one of the continuous front wiper detents, to one of five intermittent wiper detents, or to
the OFF position to select the front wiper mode. The multi-function switch provides an output to the
EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic front wiper switch status messages to the
FCM over the CAN data bus. The FCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the wiper on/off
and high/low relays in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) for front wiper system control.
- Hazard Warning Control - The hazard warning push button of the multi-function switch is
depressed to activate the hazard warning system, and depressed again to turn the system OFF.
When the push button is actuated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and
the EMIC responds by sending electronic hazard switch status messages to the FCM over the CAN
data bus. The FCM then energizes and flashes or de-energizes both the left and right turn signal
circuits to provide the visual hazard warning.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The control stalk of the multi-function switch is pulled towards the
steering wheel past a detent to actuate the integral beam select switch circuitry, or to an
intermediate, momentary position before the detent to actuate the optical horn feature. Each time
the control stalk is actuated to a detent position, the opposite headlamp beam from what is
currently selected will be energized. Each time the control stalk is actuated to the momentary
position with the headlamps turned OFF, the headlamp high beams will be illuminated for as long
as the control stalk is held in this position. The multi-function switch provides an output to the
EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic beam select switch status messages to the
FCM over the CAN data bus. The FCM energizes or de-energizes the selected LOW or HIGH
beam circuits.
- Turn Signal Control - The control stalk of the multi-function switch is moved upward to activate the
RIGHT turn signal circuitry, and, downward to activate the LEFT turn signal circuitry. The turn
signal switch has a detent position in each direction that provides turn signals with automatic
cancellation, and an intermediate, momentary position in each direction that automatically provides
three turn signal blinks as a LANE CHANGE feature when the control stalk is tapped or will
energize the turn signals for as long as the control stalk is held in the momentary position. When
the control stalk is moved to a detent turn signal switch position, the cancel actuator extends
toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is integral to the clockspring
rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the cancel actuator when it is extended
from the multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated during a turning maneuver, one
of the two turn signal cancel cam lobes will contact the turn signal cancel actuator. The cancel
actuator latches against the cancel cam rotation in the direction opposite that which is signaled. If
the LEFT turn signal detent is selected, the lobes of the cancel cam will ratchet past the cancel
actuator when the steering wheel is rotated to the left, but will unlatch the cancel actuator as the
steering wheel rotates to the right and returns to center, which will cancel the turn signal event and
release the control stalk from the detent so it returns to the neutral OFF position. When a turn
signal is activated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC
responds by sending electronic turn signal switch status messages to the FCM over the CAN data
bus. The FCM energizes and flashes or de-energizes the selected left or right turn signal circuits.
The multi-function switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

DOOR
This vehicle has four door ajar switches, one for each door. Each switch is concealed within and
integral to its respective door latch unit. The switches are momentary leaf contact-type units that
are actuated by the mechanisms internal to the door latch. A short pigtail wire and connector on
each door latch connects the door ajar switch to the vehicle electrical system through its respective
door wire harness.
The door ajar switches cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the door latch
unit must be replaced. See: Body and Frame/Doors, Hood and Trunk/Doors/Front Door/Front Door

Door Switch: Description and Operation Door Ajar Switch - Operation
DOOR
The door ajar switches are actuated by the mechanisms internal to the door latch. When a door is
closed and properly latched, its door ajar switch is an open circuit. When a door is open or only
partially latched, the door ajar switch is a closed circuit. The rear door ajar switches are hard wired
in series between a body ground and the Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also
known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). On vehicles not equipped with the optional memory
system, the front door ajar switches are also hard wired in series between ground and the EMIC.
On vehicles equipped with the optional memory system each front door ajar switch is hard wired in
series between ground and its respective driver or passenger Memory Mirror Module (MMM)
located in the front door. The MMM then sends electronic door ajar switch status messages to the
EMIC over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. Both the EMIC and the MMM read the
hard wired door ajar switch inputs through internal pull-ups, then use these inputs to control many
electronic functions and features of the vehicle.
The door ajar switches as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switches may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

DESCRIPTION
The multi-function switch (3) is located on the steering column, just below the steering wheel. The
only visible components of the multi-function switch are the control stalk (2) and control knob (1)
that extend through the steering column shrouds on the left side of the column, and the hazard
warning push button (4) that extends through the shroud on the top of the column. The remainder
of the switch including its mounting provisions, its electrical connection, and the turn signal cancel
actuator (5) are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing and controls are constructed of molded black plastic. Each of the switch

Headlamp Dimmer Switch: Description and Operation Multifunction Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The multi-function switch uses resistor multiplexing to control the many functions and features it
provides using only three hard wired output circuits. The switch receives a clean ground from the
Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN)
on a multi-function switch return circuit. It then provides outputs to the EMIC on a wash/beam
select switch signal circuit to control front washer and headlamp beam selection, on an intermittent
wiper switch signal circuit to control front wipers, and on a turn lamps switch signal circuit to control
turn signal and hazard warning functions.
The multi-function switch operates as follows:
- Front Washer Control - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch control stalk is
depressed towards the steering column to momentarily activate the washer pump in the front
WASH mode. The washer pump will continue to operate in the front washer mode until the control
knob is released or for 10 continuous seconds, whichever occurs first. The multi-function switch
provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic front washer switch
status messages to the Front Control Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus. The FCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the washer pump in the front washer
mode.
- Front Wiper Control - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch control stalk is
rotated to one of the continuous front wiper detents, to one of five intermittent wiper detents, or to
the OFF position to select the front wiper mode. The multi-function switch provides an output to the
EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic front wiper switch status messages to the
FCM over the CAN data bus. The FCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the wiper on/off
and high/low relays in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) for front wiper system control.
- Hazard Warning Control - The hazard warning push button of the multi-function switch is
depressed to activate the hazard warning system, and depressed again to turn the system OFF.
When the push button is actuated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and
the EMIC responds by sending electronic hazard switch status messages to the FCM over the CAN
data bus. The FCM then energizes and flashes or de-energizes both the left and right turn signal
circuits to provide the visual hazard warning.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The control stalk of the multi-function switch is pulled towards the
steering wheel past a detent to actuate the integral beam select switch circuitry, or to an
intermediate, momentary position before the detent to actuate the optical horn feature. Each time
the control stalk is actuated to a detent position, the opposite headlamp beam from what is
currently selected will be energized. Each time the control stalk is actuated to the momentary
position with the headlamps turned OFF, the headlamp high beams will be illuminated for as long
as the control stalk is held in this position. The multi-function switch provides an output to the
EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic beam select switch status messages to the
FCM over the CAN data bus. The FCM energizes or de-energizes the selected LOW or HIGH
beam circuits.
- Turn Signal Control - The control stalk of the multi-function switch is moved upward to activate the
RIGHT turn signal circuitry, and, downward to activate the LEFT turn signal circuitry. The turn
signal switch has a detent position in each direction that provides turn signals with automatic
cancellation, and an intermediate, momentary position in each direction that automatically provides
three turn signal blinks as a LANE CHANGE feature when the control stalk is tapped or will
energize the turn signals for as long as the control stalk is held in the momentary position. When
the control stalk is moved to a detent turn signal switch position, the cancel actuator extends
toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is integral to the clockspring
rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the cancel actuator when it is extended
from the multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated during a turning maneuver, one
of the two turn signal cancel cam lobes will contact the turn signal cancel actuator. The cancel
actuator latches against the cancel cam rotation in the direction opposite that which is signaled. If
the LEFT turn signal detent is selected, the lobes of the cancel cam will ratchet past the cancel
actuator when the steering wheel is rotated to the left, but will unlatch the cancel actuator as the
steering wheel rotates to the right and returns to center, which will cancel the turn signal event and
release the control stalk from the detent so it returns to the neutral OFF position. When a turn
signal is activated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC
responds by sending electronic turn signal switch status messages to the FCM over the CAN data
bus. The FCM energizes and flashes or de-energizes the selected left or right turn signal circuits.
The multi-function switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Headlamp Switch: Description and Operation Headlamp Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The headlamp switch (1) is located on the instrument panel, to the left of the steering column.
Three different switches are used. The standard switch features a three-position rotary knob (4) for
exterior lighting control and a thumbwheel (2) for panel lamps dimming and interior lighting control.
An optional switch has a momentary push button (3) added for front fog lamp control. A second
optional switch has the same thumbwheel and momentary push button, but has a fourth position
added to the rotary knob for selecting the optional automatic headlamps feature.
Each of these switches is constructed of molded plastic. The rotary knob is molded plastic and
knurled around its circumference to ease operator control. The thumbwheel is also plastic and
knurled. The optional front fog lamp push button is plastic with a smooth finish and an International
Control and Display Symbol icon for Front Fog Light applied to it. The switch face plate is also
labeled with graphics and icons to clearly identify the many functions of the rotary knob and
thumbwheel.
Three screws secure the switch to the back of the cluster bezel through integral mounting flanges
that are molded to each side of the switch housing. The back of the switch housing has an integral
connector receptacle containing terminal pins that connect the switch to the vehicle electrical
system through a dedicated take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness. A panel
dimmer controlled incandescent bulb soldered to the circuit board within the switch provides back
lighting for visibility at night, but is not serviceable.
The headlamp switch cannot be repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, it must be replaced.

Headlamp Switch: Description and Operation Headlamp Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The headlamp switch uses two resistor multiplexed outputs to control the many functions and
features it provides. The switch receives a clean ground from the Electro mechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) on a headlamp switch return
circuit. It then provides outputs to the EMIC on a headlamp switch signal circuit to control exterior
lighting functions, and on a panel lamps dimmer signal circuit to control panel dimmer and interior
lighting functions.
The switch illumination circuit receives a path to ground at all times through the left instrument
panel ground circuit. The illumination level is controlled by a Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM) output
received from the EMIC on a headlamp switch illumination control circuit. The EMIC controls this
output based upon the dimmer signal select mux input from the headlamp switch.
The headlamp switch operates as follows:
- Front Fog Lamps Control - For vehicles so equipped, the fog lamp push button on the headlamp
switch is depressed to activate or deactivate the optional front fog lamps. The headlamp switch
provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic fog lamp switch
status messages to the Front Control Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus. The FCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the front fog lamp relay in the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) and by sending an electronic message back to the EMIC to control the
front fog lamp indicator.
- Exterior Lighting Control - The rotary knob on the headlamp switch is rotated to a detent position
to activate or deactivate the exterior lighting. The headlamp switch provides an output to the EMIC,
and the EMIC responds by sending electronic exterior lighting switch status messages to the FCM
over the CAN data bus. The FCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the park lamp relay in
the PDC and the high or low beam headlamp circuits, and by sending an electronic message back
to the EMIC to control the high beam indicator. The FCM also remembers which headlamp beams
were last selected using the multi-function switch, and energizes those beams by default the next
time the headlamps are turned ON. If the vehicle is equipped with optional automatic headlamps
and the A (Automatic) position is selected, the EMIC also monitors an input from a sun load sensor
on the instrument panel and, based upon the monitored ambient light levels, responds by
automatically sending appropriate messages to the FCM to turn the exterior lighting ON or OFF
while the ignition switch is in the ON position.
- Interior Lighting Control - The thumbwheel on the headlamp switch is rotated to the dome
DEFEAT, dome ON, PARADE mode, or one of the six panel dimmer detent positions to control the
interior courtesy/dome and panel lamps. The headlamp switch provides an output to the EMIC, and
the EMIC responds by providing the appropriate interior lighting control outputs through its internal
courtesy lamp driver circuits, electronic dimming level messages to other modules over the CAN
data bus, and the proper PWM outputs to control dimming levels through several panel dimmer
illumination control driver circuits.
The headlamp switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

Combination Switch: Description and Operation Multifunction Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The multi-function switch (3) is located on the steering column, just below the steering wheel. The
only visible components of the multi-function switch are the control stalk (2) and control knob (1)
that extend through the steering column shrouds on the left side of the column, and the hazard
warning push button (4) that extends through the shroud on the top of the column. The remainder
of the switch including its mounting provisions, its electrical connection, and the turn signal cancel
actuator (5) are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing and controls are constructed of molded black plastic. Each of the switch
controls has white International Control and Display Symbol graphics applied to it, which clearly
identify its many functions. Three integral locating posts on the switch housing, one on the top and
two on the bottom, slide into channels in a receptacle on the left side of the multi-function switch
mounting housing near the top of the steering column to ensure proper positioning of the switch.
Then two screws secure the switch to the mounting housing. A single integral connector receptacle
containing four terminal pins on the back of the switch housing connects the switch to the vehicle
electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The multi-function switch provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the following
functions:
- Front Washer Control - The multi-function switch control knob provides a momentary front WASH
position for front washer system operation.
- Front Wiper Control - The multi-function switch control knob provides two continuous front wipe
switch positions, LOW speed or HIGH speed; and an intermittent front wipe mode with five delay
interval positions.
Hazard Warning Control - The multi-function switch hazard warning push button provides two
detent positions (ON and OFF) to control the hazard warning lamps.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The multi-function switch control stalk provides detent switching for
selection of the headlamp HIGH or LOW beams. There is also an intermediate momentary position
that allows the headlamp high beam circuits to be momentarily flashed to provide an optical horn
feature (sometimes referred to as flash-to-pass) as an optical signalling device.
- Turn Signal Control - The multi-function switch control stalk provides momentary non-detent (lane
change) switching or detent switching with automatic cancellation for both the left and right turn
signal lamps.
The multi-function switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If any function of the switch is ineffective,
or if the switch is damaged, the entire switch must be replaced as a unit.

Description and Operation > Multifunction Switch - Description > Page 10262
Combination Switch: Description and Operation Multifunction Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The multi-function switch uses resistor multiplexing to control the many functions and features it
provides using only three hard wired output circuits. The switch receives a clean ground from the
Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN)
on a multi-function switch return circuit. It then provides outputs to the EMIC on a wash/beam
select switch signal circuit to control front washer and headlamp beam selection, on an intermittent
wiper switch signal circuit to control front wipers, and on a turn lamps switch signal circuit to control
turn signal and hazard warning functions.
The multi-function switch operates as follows:
- Front Washer Control - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch control stalk is
depressed towards the steering column to momentarily activate the washer pump in the front
WASH mode. The washer pump will continue to operate in the front washer mode until the control
knob is released or for 10 continuous seconds, whichever occurs first. The multi-function switch
provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic front washer switch
status messages to the Front Control Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus. The FCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the washer pump in the front washer
mode.
- Front Wiper Control - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch control stalk is
rotated to one of the continuous front wiper detents, to one of five intermittent wiper detents, or to
the OFF position to select the front wiper mode. The multi-function switch provides an output to the
EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic front wiper switch status messages to the
FCM over the CAN data bus. The FCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the wiper on/off
and high/low relays in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) for front wiper system control.
- Hazard Warning Control - The hazard warning push button of the multi-function switch is
depressed to activate the hazard warning system, and depressed again to turn the system OFF.
When the push button is actuated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and
the EMIC responds by sending electronic hazard switch status messages to the FCM over the CAN
data bus. The FCM then energizes and flashes or de-energizes both the left and right turn signal
circuits to provide the visual hazard warning.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The control stalk of the multi-function switch is pulled towards the
steering wheel past a detent to actuate the integral beam select switch circuitry, or to an
intermediate, momentary position before the detent to actuate the optical horn feature. Each time
the control stalk is actuated to a detent position, the opposite headlamp beam from what is
currently selected will be energized. Each time the control stalk is actuated to the momentary
position with the headlamps turned OFF, the headlamp high beams will be illuminated for as long
as the control stalk is held in this position. The multi-function switch provides an output to the
EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic beam select switch status messages to the
FCM over the CAN data bus. The FCM energizes or de-energizes the selected LOW or HIGH
beam circuits.
- Turn Signal Control - The control stalk of the multi-function switch is moved upward to activate the
RIGHT turn signal circuitry, and, downward to activate the LEFT turn signal circuitry. The turn
signal switch has a detent position in each direction that provides turn signals with automatic
cancellation, and an intermediate, momentary position in each direction that automatically provides
three turn signal blinks as a LANE CHANGE feature when the control stalk is tapped or will
energize the turn signals for as long as the control stalk is held in the momentary position. When
the control stalk is moved to a detent turn signal switch position, the cancel actuator extends
toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is integral to the clockspring
rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the cancel actuator when it is extended
from the multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated during a turning maneuver, one
of the two turn signal cancel cam lobes will contact the turn signal cancel actuator. The cancel
actuator latches against the cancel cam rotation in the direction opposite that which is signaled. If
the LEFT turn signal detent is selected, the lobes of the cancel cam will ratchet past the cancel
actuator when the steering wheel is rotated to the left, but will unlatch the cancel actuator as the
steering wheel rotates to the right and returns to center, which will cancel the turn signal event and
release the control stalk from the detent so it returns to the neutral OFF position. When a turn
signal is activated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC
responds by sending electronic turn signal switch status messages to the FCM over the CAN data
bus. The FCM energizes and flashes or de-energizes the selected left or right turn signal circuits.
The multi-function switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Turn Signal Cancel Cam: Description and Operation Turn Signal Cancel Cam - Operation
OPERATION
When the multi-function switch control stalk is moved to a latched turn signal position, a turn signal
cancel actuator is extended from the inside surface of the switch housing toward the turn signal
cancel cam. As the steering wheel is rotated to complete the turn, one of the two cam lobes will
contact the actuator, automatically cancelling the turn signal event and releasing the latched
multi-function switch control stalk to the neutral position.

Turn Signal Indicator: Description and Operation Turn Signal Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
Two turn signal indicators, one right and one left, are standard equipment on all instrument
clusters. The turn signal indicators are located near the upper edge of the instrument cluster, the
right one is between the speedometer and the tachometer, and the left one is between the
speedometer and the minor gauge set.
Each turn signal indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display
Symbol icon for Turn Warning in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer
layer of the overlay prevents these indicators from being clearly visible when they are not
illuminated. A green Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind each cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes each indicator to appear in green through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The turn signal indicators are serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Turn Signal Indicator: Description and Operation Turn Signal Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The turn signal indicators give an indication to the vehicle operator that a turn signal (left or right
indicator flashing) or the hazard warning (both left and right indicators flashing) have been selected
and are operating. These indicators are controlled by transistors on the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board based upon cluster programming, a hardwired multiplex input received by
the cluster from the turn signal and hazard warning switch circuitry of the multifunction switch on
the turn/hazard switch mux circuit, and electronic messages received from the Front Control
Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
Each turn signal indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit. This logic allows the indicator to operate whenever the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused B(+) circuit. Therefore, each LED can be illuminated
regardless of the ignition switch position. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to
ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument cluster turns on the turn signal
indicators for the following reasons:
- Turn Signal-On Input - Each time the cluster detects a turn signal-ON input from the turn signal
switch circuitry of the multifunction switch on the turn/hazard switch mux circuit, it sends the
appropriate electronic turn signal switch status messages to the FCM over the CAN data bus. The
FCM responds to these messages by controlling a battery voltage output and the flash rate for
either the right or left turn signal lamps. The FCM also sends the appropriate electronic messages
back to the cluster to control the flash rate of the turn signal indicators, as well as to control the
click rate of an electromechanical relay soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board that
emulates the sound emitted by a conventional turn signal flasher. The turn signal indicators
continue to flash on and off until the cluster receives a turn signal-off input from the multifunction
switch, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Hazard Warning-On Input - Each time the cluster detects a hazard warning-ON input from the
hazard warning switch circuitry of the multifunction switch on the turn/hazard switch mux circuit, it
sends the appropriate electronic hazard switch status messages to the FCM over the CAN data
bus. The FCM responds to these messages by controlling a battery voltage output and the flash
rate for each of the right and left turn signal lamps. The FCM also sends the appropriate electronic
messages back to the cluster to control the flash rate of the turn signal indicators, as well as to
control the click rate of an electromechanical relay soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board
that emulates the sound emitted by a conventional hazard warning flasher. The turn signal
indicators continue to flash on and off until the cluster receives a hazard warning-off input from the
multifunction switch.
- Lamp Out Mode - If the FCM detects an ineffective turn signal lamp or circuit, it increases the
flash rate for the remaining operative turn signals and sends an electronic message to the
instrument cluster. The instrument cluster then increases the flash rate of the turn signal indicators
and the click rate of the electromechanical relay to provide an indication of the problem to the
vehicle operator.
- Self Test - Each time the cluster is put through the self test, the turn signal indicators turn on, then
off again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of each LED and the
cluster control circuitry.
The instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node CCN) continually monitors the
multifunction switch and electronic messages from the FCM to determine the proper turn signal and
hazard warning indicator operation. For further diagnosis of the turn signal indicators or the
instrument cluster circuitry that controls the indicators, See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and
Warning Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the turn signal and hazard warning system, the
multifunction switch, the FCM, the CCN, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related
to turn signal indicator operation. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

DESCRIPTION
The rear window defogger (EBL) relay (1) is an International Standards Organization (ISO)-type
relay. Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical dimensions, current
capacities, terminal functions and patterns (2). The EBL relay is a electromechanical device that
switches battery current through a fuse in the power distribution center (PDC) to the rear window
defogger grid and to the outside mirror heating grids. The EBL relay is energized when the relay
coil is provided a ground path by the rear window defogger relay control in the front control module
(FCM).
The EBL relay is located in the junction block (JB) in the passenger compartment.

Heated Glass Element Relay: Description and Operation Rear Defogger Relay - Operation
OPERATION
The ISO-standard rear window defogger (EBL) relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low
current input controlled by the front control module (FCM) to control the high current output to the
rear window defogger grid lines. The movable, common feed relay contact is held against the fixed,
normally closed relay contact by spring pressure. When the electromagnetic relay coil is energized,
it draws the movable common feed relay contact away from the fixed, normally closed relay contact
and, holds it against the fixed, normally open relay contact. This action allows high current to flow
to the rear window defogger grid lines.
When the relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns the movable relay contact back
against the fixed, normally closed contact point. The resistor or diode is connected in parallel with
the relay coil, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be
generated as the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The EBL relay terminals are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a receptacle in the
junction block (JB). The inputs and outputs of the EBL relay include:
- The common feed terminal (30) receives fused battery current at all times.
- The coil ground terminal (85) receives a ground through the EBL relay control circuit only when
the front control module (FCM) electronically pulls the circuit to ground.
- The coil battery terminal (86) receives fused battery current through an ignition switch output
circuit only when the ignition switch is in RUN.
- The normally open terminal (87) provides battery current to the rear window defogger grid lines
through the EBL relay output circuit only when the EBL 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 EBL relay coil is de-energized.
The EBL relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or damaged.
See Wiring Information for diagnosis and testing of the EBL relay and for complete rear window
defogger (EBL) wiring diagrams.

Windshield: Service Precautions
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.
Chrysler 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.

Wiper Relay: Description and Operation High and Low Wiper Relay - Operation
OPERATION
The wiper high/low relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current input from the Front
Control Module (FCM) to control a high current output to the front wiper motor. 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. A resistor 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 wiper high/low relay terminals are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
connector receptacle in the Integrated Power Module (IPM). The inputs and outputs of the wiper
high/low relay include:
- Common Feed Terminal - The common feed terminal (30) is connected to the output of the wiper
on/off relay at all times through the wiper on/off relay output circuit.
Coil Ground Terminal - The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to a control output of the Front
Control Module (FCM) through a wiper high/low relay control circuit. The FCM controls wiper motor
operation by controlling a ground path through this circuit.
- Coil Battery Terminal - The coil battery terminal (86) receives battery current when the ignition
switch is in the On or Accessory positions from a fuse in the IPM through a fused ignition switch
output (run-acc) circuit.
- Normally Open Terminal - The normally open terminal (87) is connected to the high speed brush
of the wiper motor through a wiper high/low relay high speed output circuit, and is connected to the
high speed brush whenever the relay is energized.
- Normally Closed Terminal - The normally closed terminal (87A) is connected to the low speed
brush of the wiper motor through a wiper high/low relay low speed output circuit, and is connected
to the low speed brush whenever the relay is de-energized.
The wiper high/low relay as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the relay may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

The rear wiper relay is a conventional International Standards Organization (ISO) micro relay.
Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical dimensions, current capacities,
terminal patterns, and terminal functions. This relay is contained within a small, rectangular,
molded plastic housing and is connected to all of the required inputs and outputs through five
integral male spade-type terminals that extend from the relay base plate.
The rear wiper relay is located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) in the engine compartment
near the battery. Refer to the layout label on the underside of the PDC cover for specific relay
cavity assignment information.
The rear wiper relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the unit must be
replaced.
Rear Wiper Relay - Operation
OPERATION
The rear wiper relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current input from the Front
Control Module (FCM) to control a high current output to the rear wiper motor. 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. A resistor 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 rear wiper relay terminals are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a connector
receptacle in the Power Distribution Center (PDC). The inputs and outputs of the rear wiper relay
include:
- Common Feed Terminal - The common feed terminal (30) is connected to the rear wiper motor
through the rear wiper motor control circuit. When the rear wiper relay is de-energized, the
common feed terminal is connected to ground. When the rear wiper relay is energized, the
common feed terminal of the relay is connected to battery current from a fuse in the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) through a fused B(+) circuit.
Coil Ground Terminal - The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to the relay control output of the
FCM through the rear wiper relay control circuit. The FCM controls the ground path for this circuit
internally to energize or de-energize the rear wiper relay based upon its programming, rear wiper
and washer request messages received from the Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus, and a hard wired input from the rear wiper motor
park switch.
- Coil Battery Terminal - The coil battery terminal (86) is connected to battery current from a fuse in
the PDC through a fused B(+) circuit at all times.
- Normally Open Terminal - The normally open terminal (87) is connected to battery current from a
fuse in the PDC through a fused B(+) circuit at all times.
- Normally Closed Terminal - The normally closed terminal (87A) is connected to ground at all
times.
The rear wiper relay as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the relay may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

Washer Fluid Level Switch: Description and Operation Washer Fluid Level Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The washer fluid level switch is a single pole, single throw reed-type switch mounted just above the
sump area near the bottom of the washer reservoir. Only the molded plastic switch mounting flange
and the integral connector receptacle are visible when the switch is installed in the reservoir. A
short nipple formation extends from the inner surface of the switch mounting flange, and a barb on
the nipple near the switch mounting flange is pressed through a rubber grommet seal installed in
the mounting hole of the reservoir.
A molded plastic float rides saddle-like over a molded plastic beam that extends axially from the
switch mounting flange. A small permanent magnet is secured in a receptacle on the top of the
float, and the reed switch is concealed within the beam. A diagnostic resistor is connected between
the two switch terminals within the switch mounting flange.
The washer fluid level switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged, it must be
replaced.

Washer Fluid Level Switch: Description and Operation Washer Fluid Level Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The washer fluid level switch uses a float to monitor the level of the washer fluid in the washer
reservoir. The float contains a small magnet. When the float moves, the proximity of this magnet to
a stationary reed switch within the beam formation of the switch changes. When the fluid level in
the washer reservoir is at or above the float level, the float rises and the influence of the float
magnetic field is removed from the reed switch causing the normally open reed switch contacts to
open. When the fluid level in the washer reservoir falls below the level of the float, the float falls and
the influence of the float magnetic field is applied to the reed switch, causing the contacts of the
normally open reed switch to close.
The washer fluid level switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take
out and connector of the headlamp and dash wire harness. The switch is connected in series
between ground and the washer fluid switch sense input to the Front Control Module (FCM) located
in the engine compartment near the battery. The FCM monitors the switch return signal and is
programmed to respond to three consecutive open switch readings by sending an electronic
washer fluid indicator lamp-ON message to the Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also
known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The EMIC responds to this message by illuminating the washer fluid indicator and by sounding an
audible chime tone warning.
The washer fluid level switch and the hard wired circuits between the switch and the FCM may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
the washer fluid level switch or the electronic controls or communication between other modules
and devices that provide some features of the wiper and washer systems. The most reliable,
efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the washer fluid level switch or the electronic controls
and communication related to washer fluid level switch operation requires the use of a diagnostic
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Windshield Washer Switch: Description and Operation Multifunction Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The multi-function switch (3) is located on the steering column, just below the steering wheel. The
only visible components of the multi-function switch are the control stalk (2) and control knob (1)
that extend through the steering column shrouds on the left side of the column, and the hazard
warning push button (4) that extends through the shroud on the top of the column. The remainder
of the switch including its mounting provisions, its electrical connection, and the turn signal cancel
actuator (5) are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing and controls are constructed of molded black plastic. Each of the switch
controls has white International Control and Display Symbol graphics applied to it, which clearly
identify its many functions. Three integral locating posts on the switch housing, one on the top and
two on the bottom, slide into channels in a receptacle on the left side of the multi-function switch
mounting housing near the top of the steering column to ensure proper positioning of the switch.
Then two screws secure the switch to the mounting housing. A single integral connector receptacle
containing four terminal pins on the back of the switch housing connects the switch to the vehicle
electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The multi-function switch provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the following
functions:
- Front Washer Control - The multi-function switch control knob provides a momentary front WASH
position for front washer system operation.
- Front Wiper Control - The multi-function switch control knob provides two continuous front wipe
switch positions, LOW speed or HIGH speed; and an intermittent front wipe mode with five delay
interval positions.
Hazard Warning Control - The multi-function switch hazard warning push button provides two
detent positions (ON and OFF) to control the hazard warning lamps.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The multi-function switch control stalk provides detent switching for
selection of the headlamp HIGH or LOW beams. There is also an intermediate momentary position
that allows the headlamp high beam circuits to be momentarily flashed to provide an optical horn
feature (sometimes referred to as flash-to-pass) as an optical signalling device.
- Turn Signal Control - The multi-function switch control stalk provides momentary non-detent (lane
change) switching or detent switching with automatic cancellation for both the left and right turn
signal lamps.
The multi-function switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If any function of the switch is ineffective,
or if the switch is damaged, the entire switch must be replaced as a unit.

Windshield Washer Switch: Description and Operation Multifunction Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The multi-function switch uses resistor multiplexing to control the many functions and features it
provides using only three hard wired output circuits. The switch receives a clean ground from the
Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN)
on a multi-function switch return circuit. It then provides outputs to the EMIC on a wash/beam
select switch signal circuit to control front washer and headlamp beam selection, on an intermittent
wiper switch signal circuit to control front wipers, and on a turn lamps switch signal circuit to control
turn signal and hazard warning functions.
The multi-function switch operates as follows:
- Front Washer Control - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch control stalk is
depressed towards the steering column to momentarily activate the washer pump in the front
WASH mode. The washer pump will continue to operate in the front washer mode until the control
knob is released or for 10 continuous seconds, whichever occurs first. The multi-function switch
provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic front washer switch
status messages to the Front Control Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus. The FCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the washer pump in the front washer
mode.
- Front Wiper Control - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch control stalk is
rotated to one of the continuous front wiper detents, to one of five intermittent wiper detents, or to
the OFF position to select the front wiper mode. The multi-function switch provides an output to the
EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic front wiper switch status messages to the
FCM over the CAN data bus. The FCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the wiper on/off
and high/low relays in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) for front wiper system control.
- Hazard Warning Control - The hazard warning push button of the multi-function switch is
depressed to activate the hazard warning system, and depressed again to turn the system OFF.
When the push button is actuated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and
the EMIC responds by sending electronic hazard switch status messages to the FCM over the CAN
data bus. The FCM then energizes and flashes or de-energizes both the left and right turn signal
circuits to provide the visual hazard warning.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The control stalk of the multi-function switch is pulled towards the
steering wheel past a detent to actuate the integral beam select switch circuitry, or to an
intermediate, momentary position before the detent to actuate the optical horn feature. Each time
the control stalk is actuated to a detent position, the opposite headlamp beam from what is
currently selected will be energized. Each time the control stalk is actuated to the momentary
position with the headlamps turned OFF, the headlamp high beams will be illuminated for as long
as the control stalk is held in this position. The multi-function switch provides an output to the
EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic beam select switch status messages to the
FCM over the CAN data bus. The FCM energizes or de-energizes the selected LOW or HIGH
beam circuits.
- Turn Signal Control - The control stalk of the multi-function switch is moved upward to activate the
RIGHT turn signal circuitry, and, downward to activate the LEFT turn signal circuitry. The turn
signal switch has a detent position in each direction that provides turn signals with automatic
cancellation, and an intermediate, momentary position in each direction that automatically provides
three turn signal blinks as a LANE CHANGE feature when the control stalk is tapped or will
energize the turn signals for as long as the control stalk is held in the momentary position. When
the control stalk is moved to a detent turn signal switch position, the cancel actuator extends
toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is integral to the clockspring
rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the cancel actuator when it is extended
from the multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated during a turning maneuver, one
of the two turn signal cancel cam lobes will contact the turn signal cancel actuator. The cancel
actuator latches against the cancel cam rotation in the direction opposite that which is signaled. If
the LEFT turn signal detent is selected, the lobes of the cancel cam will ratchet past the cancel
actuator when the steering wheel is rotated to the left, but will unlatch the cancel actuator as the
steering wheel rotates to the right and returns to center, which will cancel the turn signal event and
release the control stalk from the detent so it returns to the neutral OFF position. When a turn
signal is activated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC
responds by sending electronic turn signal switch status messages to the FCM over the CAN data
bus. The FCM energizes and flashes or de-energizes the selected left or right turn signal circuits.
The multi-function switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

the control stalk is moved to a detent turn signal switch position, the cancel actuator extends
toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is integral to the clockspring
rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the cancel actuator when it is extended
from the multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated during a turning maneuver, one
of the two turn signal cancel cam lobes will contact the turn signal cancel actuator. The cancel
actuator latches against the cancel cam rotation in the direction opposite that which is signaled. If
the LEFT turn signal detent is selected, the lobes of the cancel cam will ratchet past the cancel
actuator when the steering wheel is rotated to the left, but will unlatch the cancel actuator as the
steering wheel rotates to the right and returns to center, which will cancel the turn signal event and
release the control stalk from the detent so it returns to the neutral OFF position. When a turn
signal is activated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC
responds by sending electronic turn signal switch status messages to the FCM over the CAN data
bus. The FCM energizes and flashes or de-energizes the selected left or right turn signal circuits.
The multi-function switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Washer Fluid Level Indicator: Description and Operation Washer Fluid Level Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A washer fluid indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located
within the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. However, on vehicles
equipped with the optional Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) the washer fluid indicator
in the odometer VFD is electronically suppressed so as not to duplicate indications that are
provided by the EVIC. The washer fluid indicator consists of the text LOWASH, which appears in
place of the odometer/trip odometer information in the odometer VFD unit.
The odometer VFD is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board and is visible through a
window with a smoked clear lens located on the lower edge of the tachometer gauge dial face of
the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD prevents it from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. The washer fluid indicator appears in the same blue-green color and at the same
lighting level as the odometer/trip odometer information when it is illuminated by the instrument
cluster electronic circuit board.
The washer fluid indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Washer Fluid Level Indicator: Description and Operation Washer Fluid Level Indicator - Operation
OPERATION
The washer fluid indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator that the fluid level in the
washer reservoir is low. This indicator is controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit based
upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Front Control
Module (FCM) (also known as the Integrated Power Module/IPM or Power Distribution
Center/PDC) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The washer fluid indicator function of the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) is completely
controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit. This logic only allows the indicator to operate when
the instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start)
circuit. Therefore, the VFD washer fluid indication is always off when the ignition switch is in any
position except ON or START. The instrument cluster turns on the washer fluid indicator for the
following reasons:
- Washer Fluid Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic washer
fluid indicator lamp-on message from the FCM indicating that a low washer condition has been
detected for 60 consecutive seconds, the washer fluid indicator is illuminated and a single chime
tone is sounded. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives lamp-off messages for
60 consecutive seconds from the FCM, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position,
whichever occurs first. The chime tone feature only repeats during the same ignition cycle if the
washer fluid indicator is cycled off then on again by the appropriate lamp-on and lamp-off
messages from the FCM.
The FCM continually monitors the washer fluid level switch in the washer reservoir to determine the
level of the washer fluid. The FCM then sends the proper lamp-on or lamp-off message to the
instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). For further diagnosis of the
washer fluid indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the indicator, See: Instrument
Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection.
Use a diagnostic scan tool for proper diagnosis of the washer fluid level switch, the FCM, the CCN,
the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to washer fluid indicator operation. Refer
to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Washer Fluid Level Switch: Description and Operation Washer Fluid Level Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The washer fluid level switch is a single pole, single throw reed-type switch mounted just above the
sump area near the bottom of the washer reservoir. Only the molded plastic switch mounting flange
and the integral connector receptacle are visible when the switch is installed in the reservoir. A
short nipple formation extends from the inner surface of the switch mounting flange, and a barb on
the nipple near the switch mounting flange is pressed through a rubber grommet seal installed in
the mounting hole of the reservoir.
A molded plastic float rides saddle-like over a molded plastic beam that extends axially from the
switch mounting flange. A small permanent magnet is secured in a receptacle on the top of the
float, and the reed switch is concealed within the beam. A diagnostic resistor is connected between
the two switch terminals within the switch mounting flange.
The washer fluid level switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged, it must be
replaced.

Description and Operation > Washer Fluid Level Switch - Description > Page 10492
Washer Fluid Level Switch: Description and Operation Washer Fluid Level Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The washer fluid level switch uses a float to monitor the level of the washer fluid in the washer
reservoir. The float contains a small magnet. When the float moves, the proximity of this magnet to
a stationary reed switch within the beam formation of the switch changes. When the fluid level in
the washer reservoir is at or above the float level, the float rises and the influence of the float
magnetic field is removed from the reed switch causing the normally open reed switch contacts to
open. When the fluid level in the washer reservoir falls below the level of the float, the float falls and
the influence of the float magnetic field is applied to the reed switch, causing the contacts of the
normally open reed switch to close.
The washer fluid level switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take
out and connector of the headlamp and dash wire harness. The switch is connected in series
between ground and the washer fluid switch sense input to the Front Control Module (FCM) located
in the engine compartment near the battery. The FCM monitors the switch return signal and is
programmed to respond to three consecutive open switch readings by sending an electronic
washer fluid indicator lamp-ON message to the Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also
known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The EMIC responds to this message by illuminating the washer fluid indicator and by sounding an
audible chime tone warning.
The washer fluid level switch and the hard wired circuits between the switch and the FCM may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
the washer fluid level switch or the electronic controls or communication between other modules
and devices that provide some features of the wiper and washer systems. The most reliable,
efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the washer fluid level switch or the electronic controls
and communication related to washer fluid level switch operation requires the use of a diagnostic
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

DESCRIPTION
The washer pump/motor unit is located on the rearward facing side of the washer reservoir, in the
left front fender wheel house ahead of the front wheel and the left front wheel house splash shield.
A small permanently lubricated and sealed reversible electric motor (3) is coupled to the rotor-type
washer pump (4). The use of an integral valve body (7) allows the washer pump/motor unit to
provide washer fluid to either the front or the rear washer systems, depending upon the direction of
the pump impeller rotation.
An inlet nipple (6) on the pump housing passes through a rubber grommet seal/filter screen
installed in a dedicated mounting hole of the washer reservoir sump. The filter screen prevents
most debris from entering the pump housing. When the pump is installed in the reservoir the front
barbed outlet nipple (5) on the pump valve body housing connects the unit to the front washer
hose, and the rear barbed outlet nipple (8) connects the unit to the rear washer hose. The letters F
and R molded into the valve body housing adjacent to each nipple provide further clarification of
the nipple assignments.
The washer pump/motor unit is retained on the reservoir by the interference fit between the pump
inlet nipple and the grommet seal, and by a snap post (2) at the top of the pump motor housing that
is engaged into a receptacle on the reservoir which is a light snap fit. An integral connector
receptacle (1) on the top of the motor housing connects the unit to the vehicle electrical system
through a dedicated take out and connector of the headlamp and dash wire harness.
The washer pump/motor unit cannot be repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the entire washer
pump/motor unit must be replaced.

Description and Operation > Windshield Washer Pump - Description > Page 10509
Windshield Washer Pump: Description and Operation Windshield Washer Pump - Operation
OPERATION
The washer pump/motor unit features a reversible electric motor. The direction of the motor is
controlled by hard wired outputs from the Front Control Module (FCM). When battery current and
ground are applied to the two pump motor terminals, the motor rotates in one direction. When the
polarity of these connections is reversed, the motor rotates in the opposite direction. When the
pump motor is energized, the rotor-type pump pressurizes the washer fluid and forces it through
one of the two pump outlet nipples, and into the front or rear washer plumbing.
The FCM controls the hard wired outputs to the pump motor based upon electronic washer request
messages received over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus from the Electro mechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). The EMIC monitors
a resistor multiplexed input from the front washer switch circuitry contained within the multi-function
switch, and electronic rear washer switch status messages received over the CAN data bus from
the A/C-heater control on the instrument panel to determine the proper washer request message to
send. Whenever the low washer fluid indicator is illuminated, the EMIC is programmed to suppress
all rear washer requests in order to give priority to the need for forward visibility.
Washer fluid is gravity-fed from the washer reservoir to the inlet port of the washer pump housing.
An integral valve body is located in a housing on the outlet port side (2) of the pump housing. A
diaphragm (4) in this valve body controls which washer system plumbing receives the washer fluid
being pressurized by the pump. When the pump is not operating the diaphragm is biased to close
all washer fluid flow in the rear washer system and, in this way it also performs the function of the
rear washer system check valve.
When the pump impeller (1) rotates in the counterclockwise direction (viewed from the bottom), the
biased diaphragm is sealing off the rear washer system outlet and nipple so the pressurized
washer fluid is pushed out through the pump front outlet port and the front washer outlet nipple (5).
When the pump impeller rotates in the clockwise direction (viewed from the bottom), pressurized
washer fluid is pushed out through the pump rear outlet port and moves the diaphragm to open the
rear washer outlet nipple and seal off the front washer outlet nipple, then the pressurized washer
fluid is pushed out through the rear washer outlet nipple (3).
The washer pump/motor unit and the hard wired motor control circuits from the FCM may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
the washer pump/motor unit or the electronic controls or communication between other modules
and devices that provide some features of the front and rear wiper and washer system. The most
reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the washer pump/motor unit or the electronic
controls and communication related to washer pump/motor unit operation requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Windshield Washer Reservoir: Description and Operation Windshield Washer Reservoir Description
DESCRIPTION
The molded plastic washer fluid reservoir is integral to the engine coolant overflow bottle located on
the left end of the air conditioning condenser module in the left front corner of the engine
compartment. A single washer fluid reservoir is used for both the front and rear washer systems.
A bright yellow plastic filler cap with a rubber seal and an International Control and Display Symbol
icon for Windshield Washer and the text WASHER FLUID ONLY molded into it snaps over the
open end of the filler neck. The cap hinges on and is secured to a molded-in hook formation on the
top of the reservoir just behind the filler neck when it is removed for inspecting or adjusting the fluid
level in the reservoir.
There are separate, dedicated holes on the lower rearward facing side of the reservoir provided for
the mounting of the washer/pump motor unit and the washer fluid level switch. A snap post
receptacle for the washer pump is molded into the reservoir to allow for mounting of the washer
pump/motor unit without the use of fasteners.
The washer reservoir is serviced only as a unit with the engine coolant reserve bottle. The washer
reservoir cannot be repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the coolant reserve bottle/washer
reservoir unit must be replaced. The grommet seals for the washer pump/motor unit and the
washer fluid level switch, and the filler cap are each available for individual service replacement.

Windshield Washer Reservoir: Description and Operation Windshield Washer Reservoir Operation
OPERATION
The washer fluid reservoir provides a secure, on-vehicle storage location for a large reserve of
washer fluid for operation of the front and rear washer systems. The washer reservoir filler neck
provides a clearly marked and readily accessible point from which to add washer fluid to the
reservoir.
The washer/pump motor unit is located in a sump area near the bottom of the reservoir to be
certain that washer fluid will be available to the pump as the fluid level in the reservoir becomes
depleted. The washer fluid level switch is mounted just above the sump area of the reservoir so
that there will be adequate warning to the vehicle operator that the washer fluid level is low, before
the front washer system will no longer operate. The Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
is programmed to suppress rear washer system operation upon illumination of the low washer fluid
indicator so that the front washers can remain operational until the fluid level can be replenished.

Windshield Washer Spray Nozzle: Description and Operation Washer Nozzle - Operation
Front
FRONT
The two front washer nozzles are designed to dispense washer fluid into the wiper pattern area on
the outside of the windshield glass. Pressurized washer fluid is fed to each nozzle from the washer
reservoir by the washer pump/motor unit through a single hose, which is attached to a barbed
nipple on each washer nozzle below the hood panel. A fluidic matrix within the washer nozzle
causes the pressurized washer fluid to be emitted from the nozzle orifice as an oscillating stream to
more effectively cover a larger area of the glass to be cleaned.
The integral check valve prevents washer fluid from draining out of the washer supply hoses back
to the washer reservoir. This drain-back would result in a delay from when the washer pump is
energized until washer fluid was dispensed through the nozzles. Such a drain-back condition could
also result in water, dirt, or other outside contaminants being siphoned into the washer system
through the washer nozzle orifice. This water could subsequently freeze and plug the nozzle, while
other contaminants could interfere with proper nozzle operation and cause improper nozzle spray
patterns.
When the washer pump pressurizes and pumps washer fluid from the reservoir through the washer
plumbing, the fluid pressure unseats a diaphragm from over a sump well within the nozzle. With the
diaphragm unseated, washer fluid is allowed to flow through the washer nozzle. When the washer
pump stops operating, the diaphragm seats over the sump well in the valve and fluid flow in either
direction within the washer plumbing is prevented.

Windshield Washer Switch: Description and Operation Multifunction Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The multi-function switch (3) is located on the steering column, just below the steering wheel. The
only visible components of the multi-function switch are the control stalk (2) and control knob (1)
that extend through the steering column shrouds on the left side of the column, and the hazard
warning push button (4) that extends through the shroud on the top of the column. The remainder
of the switch including its mounting provisions, its electrical connection, and the turn signal cancel
actuator (5) are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing and controls are constructed of molded black plastic. Each of the switch
controls has white International Control and Display Symbol graphics applied to it, which clearly
identify its many functions. Three integral locating posts on the switch housing, one on the top and
two on the bottom, slide into channels in a receptacle on the left side of the multi-function switch
mounting housing near the top of the steering column to ensure proper positioning of the switch.
Then two screws secure the switch to the mounting housing. A single integral connector receptacle
containing four terminal pins on the back of the switch housing connects the switch to the vehicle
electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The multi-function switch provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the following
functions:
- Front Washer Control - The multi-function switch control knob provides a momentary front WASH
position for front washer system operation.
- Front Wiper Control - The multi-function switch control knob provides two continuous front wipe
switch positions, LOW speed or HIGH speed; and an intermittent front wipe mode with five delay
interval positions.
Hazard Warning Control - The multi-function switch hazard warning push button provides two
detent positions (ON and OFF) to control the hazard warning lamps.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The multi-function switch control stalk provides detent switching for
selection of the headlamp HIGH or LOW beams. There is also an intermediate momentary position
that allows the headlamp high beam circuits to be momentarily flashed to provide an optical horn
feature (sometimes referred to as flash-to-pass) as an optical signalling device.
- Turn Signal Control - The multi-function switch control stalk provides momentary non-detent (lane
change) switching or detent switching with automatic cancellation for both the left and right turn
signal lamps.
The multi-function switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If any function of the switch is ineffective,
or if the switch is damaged, the entire switch must be replaced as a unit.

Description and Operation > Multifunction Switch - Description > Page 10532
Windshield Washer Switch: Description and Operation Multifunction Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The multi-function switch uses resistor multiplexing to control the many functions and features it
provides using only three hard wired output circuits. The switch receives a clean ground from the
Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN)
on a multi-function switch return circuit. It then provides outputs to the EMIC on a wash/beam
select switch signal circuit to control front washer and headlamp beam selection, on an intermittent
wiper switch signal circuit to control front wipers, and on a turn lamps switch signal circuit to control
turn signal and hazard warning functions.
The multi-function switch operates as follows:
- Front Washer Control - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch control stalk is
depressed towards the steering column to momentarily activate the washer pump in the front
WASH mode. The washer pump will continue to operate in the front washer mode until the control
knob is released or for 10 continuous seconds, whichever occurs first. The multi-function switch
provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic front washer switch
status messages to the Front Control Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus. The FCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the washer pump in the front washer
mode.
- Front Wiper Control - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch control stalk is
rotated to one of the continuous front wiper detents, to one of five intermittent wiper detents, or to
the OFF position to select the front wiper mode. The multi-function switch provides an output to the
EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic front wiper switch status messages to the
FCM over the CAN data bus. The FCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the wiper on/off
and high/low relays in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) for front wiper system control.
- Hazard Warning Control - The hazard warning push button of the multi-function switch is
depressed to activate the hazard warning system, and depressed again to turn the system OFF.
When the push button is actuated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and
the EMIC responds by sending electronic hazard switch status messages to the FCM over the CAN
data bus. The FCM then energizes and flashes or de-energizes both the left and right turn signal
circuits to provide the visual hazard warning.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The control stalk of the multi-function switch is pulled towards the
steering wheel past a detent to actuate the integral beam select switch circuitry, or to an
intermediate, momentary position before the detent to actuate the optical horn feature. Each time
the control stalk is actuated to a detent position, the opposite headlamp beam from what is
currently selected will be energized. Each time the control stalk is actuated to the momentary
position with the headlamps turned OFF, the headlamp high beams will be illuminated for as long
as the control stalk is held in this position. The multi-function switch provides an output to the
EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic beam select switch status messages to the
FCM over the CAN data bus. The FCM energizes or de-energizes the selected LOW or HIGH
beam circuits.
- Turn Signal Control - The control stalk of the multi-function switch is moved upward to activate the
RIGHT turn signal circuitry, and, downward to activate the LEFT turn signal circuitry. The turn
signal switch has a detent position in each direction that provides turn signals with automatic
cancellation, and an intermediate, momentary position in each direction that automatically provides
three turn signal blinks as a LANE CHANGE feature when the control stalk is tapped or will
energize the turn signals for as long as the control stalk is held in the momentary position. When
the control stalk is moved to a detent turn signal switch position, the cancel actuator extends
toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is integral to the clockspring
rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the cancel actuator when it is extended
from the multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated during a turning maneuver, one
of the two turn signal cancel cam lobes will contact the turn signal cancel actuator. The cancel
actuator latches against the cancel cam rotation in the direction opposite that which is signaled. If
the LEFT turn signal detent is selected, the lobes of the cancel cam will ratchet past the cancel
actuator when the steering wheel is rotated to the left, but will unlatch the cancel actuator as the
steering wheel rotates to the right and returns to center, which will cancel the turn signal event and
release the control stalk from the detent so it returns to the neutral OFF position. When a turn
signal is activated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC
responds by sending electronic turn signal switch status messages to the FCM over the CAN data
bus. The FCM energizes and flashes or de-energizes the selected left or right turn signal circuits.
The multi-function switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Each front wiper blade is secured by an integral latching pivot block (3) to the hook formation on
the tip of each wiper arm, and rests on the glass near the base of the windshield when the wipers
are not in operation. The wiper blade consists of the following components:
- Superstructure (1) - The superstructure includes several stamped steel bridges and links with
claw formations that grip the wiper blade element. Also included in this unit is the latching, molded
plastic pivot block that secures the superstructure to the wiper arm. All of the metal components of
the wiper blade have a satin black finish applied.
- Element (2) - The wiper element or squeegee is the resilient rubber member of the wiper blade
that contacts the glass.
- Flexor (7) - The flexor is a rigid metal component running along the length of each side of the
wiper element where it is gripped by the claws (6) of the superstructure. The flexor is also designed
to provide a predetermined curvature that best fits the curvature of glass throughout the wipe
pattern.
The right wiper blade is 53.00 centimeters (20.87 inches) long, and the left blade is 65.09
centimeters (25.63 inches) long. Both have non-replaceable rubber elements (squeegees). The
wiper blades cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective, worn, or damaged the entire wiper blade
unit must be replaced.

The wiper blades are moved back and forth across the glass by the wiper arms when the wipers
are being operated. The wiper blade superstructure is the flexible frame that grips the wiper blade
element and evenly distributes the force of the spring-loaded wiper arm along the length of the
element. The combination of the wiper arm force and the flexibility of the superstructure makes the
element conform to and maintain proper contact with the glass, even as the blade is moved over
the varied curvature that may be encountered across the glass surface.
The wiper element flexor provides the claws of the blade superstructure with a rigid, yet flexible
component on the element which can be gripped. The rubber element is designed to be stiff
enough to maintain an even cleaning edge as it is drawn across the glass, yet resilient enough to
conform to the glass surface and flip from one cleaning edge to the other each time the wiper blade

DESCRIPTION
The front wiper module is secured with screws through four rubber grommet-type insulators (4) to
the cowl plenum panel and the left front fender ledge. The module is located in the rear of the
engine compartment where it is concealed beneath the molded plastic cowl plenum cover/grille
panel between the base of the windshield and the rear edge of the hood panel. The ends of the
pivot shafts protruding through openings in the cowl plenum cover/grille panel are the only visible
components of the wiper module. The wiper module consists of the following major components:
- Bracket (5) - The wiper module bracket is a single die cast aluminum unit that includes provisions
for mounting the wiper motor and wiper pivots as well as for the for rubber insulators used in
mounting the bracket to the vehicle.
- Crank Arm (6) - The wiper motor crank arm is a stamped steel unit with an internally splined hole
on the driven end that is secured to the wiper motor output shaft with a nut, and has a long ball
stud secured to the drive end to accept the wiper linkage.
- Linkage (3) - The two wiper linkage members are each constructed of stamped steel. A driver
side drive link with a plastic socket-type bushing in the left end, and a plastic sleeve-type bushing in
the right end. The socket bushing is snap-fit over the pivot ball stud on the left pivot lever arm,
while the sleeve bushing is fit over the longer pivot stud on the wiper motor crank arm. The
passenger side drive link has a plastic socket-type bushing on each end. One end of this drive link
is snap-fit over the ball stud on the right pivot lever arm, while the other end is snap-fit over the top
of the driver side drive link on the ball stud of the wiper motor crank arm.
- Motor (7) - The wiper motor is secured on the underside of the module bracket near the center
with three screws. The wiper motor output shaft passes through a hole in the module bracket,
where a nut secures the wiper motor crank arm to the motor output shaft. The two-speed
permanent magnet wiper motor features an integral transmission, an internal park switch, and an
internal Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) circuit breaker.
- Pivots (1 and 2) - This module features two driven pivots (2) and one drone pivot (1) for the
articulating link of the right wiper arm. The two driven wiper pivot shafts have lever arms with ball
studs at their base to accept the wiper linkage. The upper end of all three pivot shafts has a
threaded stud with a tapered and serrated area just below the threads to accept the left wiper arm
or the right wiper arm links.
The front wiper module cannot be adjusted or repaired. The front wiper motor is available for
separate service replacement. If any other component of the module is ineffective or damaged, the
entire front wiper module unit must be replaced.

OPERATION
The front wiper module operation is controlled by the battery current inputs received by the wiper
motor through the wiper on/off and wiper high/low relays. The wiper motor speed is controlled by
current flow to either the low speed or the high speed set of brushes. The park switch is a single
pole, single throw, momentary switch within the wiper motor that is mechanically actuated by the
wiper motor transmission components. The park switch alternately opens and closes the wiper park
switch sense circuit to ground, depending upon the position of the wipers on the glass. This feature
allows the motor to complete its current wipe cycle after the wiper system has been turned OFF,
and to park the wiper blades in the lowest portion of the wipe pattern. The automatic resetting
circuit breaker protects the motor from overloads.
The wiper motor crank arm, the two wiper linkage members, and the two driven wiper pivots
mechanically convert the rotary output of the wiper motor to the back and forth wiping motion of the
wiper arms and blades on the glass. The drone pivot provides an anchor point for the articulating
link of the right wiper arm.
The hard wired inputs and outputs of the front wiper motor may be diagnosed using conventional
diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. However,
conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the front wiper motor
or the electronic controls or communication between other modules and devices that provide some
features of the front wiper and washer system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the front wiper motor or the electronic controls and communication related to front wiper
motor operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information.

Wiper Motor: Description and Operation Wiper Motor - Operation
REAR
The rear wiper motor operation is controlled by the rear wiper relay, which controls battery current
flow to the rear wiper motor brushes based upon control outputs from the Front Control Module
(FCM). The FCM uses internal programming, hard wired outputs from the rear wiper motor park
switch, and electronic messages received over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus from
the Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) and from rear wiper and washer switches in the
heater-A/C control to determine when to energize or de-energize the rear wiper relay.
The rear wiper motor park switch is a single pole, single throw, momentary switch within the wiper
motor that is mechanically actuated by the wiper motor transmission components. The park switch
alternately closes and opens a path to ground for the rear wiper motor control circuit input to the
FCM, depending upon the position of the rear wiper blade on the liftgate glass. This feature allows
the FCM to monitor the number of rear wiper motor cycles, as well as to keep the rear wiper relay
energized long enough for the motor to complete its current wipe cycle after the wiper system or
the ignition has been turned OFF, and to park the wiper blade in the lowest portion of the wipe
pattern.
The rear wiper motor is grounded at all times through a take out with an eyelet terminal connector
in the body wire harness that is secured to a ground location in the passenger compartment. The
automatic resetting circuit breaker protects the motor from overloads. The rear wiper motor
transmission converts the rotary output of the wiper motor to the back and forth wiping motion of
the rear wiper arm and blade on the liftgate glass.
The hard wired inputs and outputs of the rear wiper motor may be diagnosed using conventional
diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. However,
conventional diagnostic methods may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the rear wiper motor,
the EMIC, the FCM, the heater-A/C control, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication
between these modules. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the rear
wiper motor, the EMIC, the FCM, the heater-A/C control, the CAN data bus or the electronic
communication related to rear wiper motor operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool.

Wiper Relay: Description and Operation High and Low Wiper Relay - Operation
OPERATION
The wiper high/low relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current input from the Front
Control Module (FCM) to control a high current output to the front wiper motor. 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. A resistor 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 wiper high/low relay terminals are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
connector receptacle in the Integrated Power Module (IPM). The inputs and outputs of the wiper
high/low relay include:
- Common Feed Terminal - The common feed terminal (30) is connected to the output of the wiper
on/off relay at all times through the wiper on/off relay output circuit.
Coil Ground Terminal - The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to a control output of the Front
Control Module (FCM) through a wiper high/low relay control circuit. The FCM controls wiper motor
operation by controlling a ground path through this circuit.
- Coil Battery Terminal - The coil battery terminal (86) receives battery current when the ignition
switch is in the On or Accessory positions from a fuse in the IPM through a fused ignition switch
output (run-acc) circuit.
- Normally Open Terminal - The normally open terminal (87) is connected to the high speed brush
of the wiper motor through a wiper high/low relay high speed output circuit, and is connected to the
high speed brush whenever the relay is energized.
- Normally Closed Terminal - The normally closed terminal (87A) is connected to the low speed
brush of the wiper motor through a wiper high/low relay low speed output circuit, and is connected
to the low speed brush whenever the relay is de-energized.
The wiper high/low relay as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the relay may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Wiper Switch: Description and Operation Multifunction Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The multi-function switch (3) is located on the steering column, just below the steering wheel. The
only visible components of the multi-function switch are the control stalk (2) and control knob (1)
that extend through the steering column shrouds on the left side of the column, and the hazard
warning push button (4) that extends through the shroud on the top of the column. The remainder
of the switch including its mounting provisions, its electrical connection, and the turn signal cancel
actuator (5) are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing and controls are constructed of molded black plastic. Each of the switch
controls has white International Control and Display Symbol graphics applied to it, which clearly
identify its many functions. Three integral locating posts on the switch housing, one on the top and
two on the bottom, slide into channels in a receptacle on the left side of the multi-function switch
mounting housing near the top of the steering column to ensure proper positioning of the switch.
Then two screws secure the switch to the mounting housing. A single integral connector receptacle
containing four terminal pins on the back of the switch housing connects the switch to the vehicle
electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The multi-function switch provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the following
functions:
- Front Washer Control - The multi-function switch control knob provides a momentary front WASH
position for front washer system operation.
- Front Wiper Control - The multi-function switch control knob provides two continuous front wipe
switch positions, LOW speed or HIGH speed; and an intermittent front wipe mode with five delay
interval positions.
Hazard Warning Control - The multi-function switch hazard warning push button provides two
detent positions (ON and OFF) to control the hazard warning lamps.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The multi-function switch control stalk provides detent switching for
selection of the headlamp HIGH or LOW beams. There is also an intermediate momentary position
that allows the headlamp high beam circuits to be momentarily flashed to provide an optical horn
feature (sometimes referred to as flash-to-pass) as an optical signalling device.
- Turn Signal Control - The multi-function switch control stalk provides momentary non-detent (lane
change) switching or detent switching with automatic cancellation for both the left and right turn
signal lamps.
The multi-function switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If any function of the switch is ineffective,
or if the switch is damaged, the entire switch must be replaced as a unit.

Wiper Switch: Description and Operation Multifunction Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The multi-function switch uses resistor multiplexing to control the many functions and features it
provides using only three hard wired output circuits. The switch receives a clean ground from the
Electro mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN)
on a multi-function switch return circuit. It then provides outputs to the EMIC on a wash/beam
select switch signal circuit to control front washer and headlamp beam selection, on an intermittent
wiper switch signal circuit to control front wipers, and on a turn lamps switch signal circuit to control
turn signal and hazard warning functions.
The multi-function switch operates as follows:
- Front Washer Control - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch control stalk is
depressed towards the steering column to momentarily activate the washer pump in the front
WASH mode. The washer pump will continue to operate in the front washer mode until the control
knob is released or for 10 continuous seconds, whichever occurs first. The multi-function switch
provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic front washer switch
status messages to the Front Control Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus. The FCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the washer pump in the front washer
mode.
- Front Wiper Control - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch control stalk is
rotated to one of the continuous front wiper detents, to one of five intermittent wiper detents, or to
the OFF position to select the front wiper mode. The multi-function switch provides an output to the
EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic front wiper switch status messages to the
FCM over the CAN data bus. The FCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the wiper on/off
and high/low relays in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) for front wiper system control.
- Hazard Warning Control - The hazard warning push button of the multi-function switch is
depressed to activate the hazard warning system, and depressed again to turn the system OFF.
When the push button is actuated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and
the EMIC responds by sending electronic hazard switch status messages to the FCM over the CAN
data bus. The FCM then energizes and flashes or de-energizes both the left and right turn signal
circuits to provide the visual hazard warning.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The control stalk of the multi-function switch is pulled towards the
steering wheel past a detent to actuate the integral beam select switch circuitry, or to an
intermediate, momentary position before the detent to actuate the optical horn feature. Each time
the control stalk is actuated to a detent position, the opposite headlamp beam from what is
currently selected will be energized. Each time the control stalk is actuated to the momentary
position with the headlamps turned OFF, the headlamp high beams will be illuminated for as long
as the control stalk is held in this position. The multi-function switch provides an output to the
EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic beam select switch status messages to the
FCM over the CAN data bus. The FCM energizes or de-energizes the selected LOW or HIGH
beam circuits.
- Turn Signal Control - The control stalk of the multi-function switch is moved upward to activate the
RIGHT turn signal circuitry, and, downward to activate the LEFT turn signal circuitry. The turn
signal switch has a detent position in each direction that provides turn signals with automatic
cancellation, and an intermediate, momentary position in each direction that automatically provides
three turn signal blinks as a LANE CHANGE feature when the control stalk is tapped or will
energize the turn signals for as long as the control stalk is held in the momentary position. When
the control stalk is moved to a detent turn signal switch position, the cancel actuator extends
toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is integral to the clockspring
rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the cancel actuator when it is extended
from the multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated during a turning maneuver, one
of the two turn signal cancel cam lobes will contact the turn signal cancel actuator. The cancel
actuator latches against the cancel cam rotation in the direction opposite that which is signaled. If
the LEFT turn signal detent is selected, the lobes of the cancel cam will ratchet past the cancel
actuator when the steering wheel is rotated to the left, but will unlatch the cancel actuator as the
steering wheel rotates to the right and returns to center, which will cancel the turn signal event and
release the control stalk from the detent so it returns to the neutral OFF position. When a turn
signal is activated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC
responds by sending electronic turn signal switch status messages to the FCM over the CAN data
bus. The FCM energizes and flashes or de-energizes the selected left or right turn signal circuits.
The multi-function switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before
attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or
instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery
(ground) cable. Wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further
diagnosis or service. On vehicles equipped with the optional Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system,
a technician trained in proper HEV service safety procedures must also remove the high voltage
service disconnect from the high voltage battery pack. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS.
Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
1. Slide the multi-function switch (1) into the multi-function switch mounting housing (3) from the left

top and bottom of the switch are properly engaged in the channels of the mounting housing.
2. Rotate the steering wheel far enough to install and tighten the two screws (4) that secure the
switch to the mounting housing. Tighten the screws to
2 Nm (20 in. lbs.).
3. Reconnect the wire harness connector (2) to the back of the switch.
4. Position the lower shroud (3) onto the steering column (4). 5. From below the steering column,
install and tighten the one center screw that secures the lower shroud to the steering column.
Tighten the screw to
2 Nm (20 in. lbs.).
6. Position the upper shroud (1) onto the steering column over the lower shroud. Be certain to
engage the gearshift lever gap hider into the opening in
the right side of both shroud halves.
7. Align the snap features on the upper shroud with the receptacles in the lower shroud and apply
hand pressure to snap them together. 8. Install and tighten the two outboard screws that secure the
upper shroud to the lower shroud. Tighten the screws to 2 Nm (20 in. lbs.).
