Seat Heater Control Module: Description and Operation Heated Seat Module - Description
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat module (2) is located under the driver front seat. It has a single electrical
connector (1) and a push pin style retainer that secures it to the seat pan (4). The module can be
accessed from under the Driver seat with the seat in the full back and up position.
The heated seat module is a microprocessor designed to use the Local Interface Network (LIN)
data bus messages from the instrument cluster, sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment
Node (CCN). The CCN receives inputs from the heated seat switches and in turn signals the
heated seat module to operate the heated seat elements for both front seats.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Heated Seat Module - Description > Page 59
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 to the body at all times through the electrical connector. Inputs to the module
include Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus messages and standard hardwired 12 volt power
and ground. In response to the LIN inputs the heated seat module will control the battery current to
the appropriate heated seat elements.
When a heated seat switch LIN data 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).
In addition to operating the heated seat elements, the heated seat module sends LED illumination
messages to the instrument cluster, sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN)
via the LIN data bus. The CCN then sends the LED illumination message to the accessory switch
bank so that the appropriate LEDs are illuminated for any given heating level. Pressing the switch
once will select high-level heating. Pressing the switch a second time will select low-level heating.
Pressing the switch a third time will shut the heating elements off.
If the heated seat module detects a heated seat element OPEN or SHORT circuit, it will record and
store the appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).

Seat Heater Control Module: Testing and Inspection
HEATED SEAT MODULE
In order to obtain conclusive testing, the heated seat system and the Local Interface Network (LIN)
data bus circuit must be checked. Any diagnosis of the heated seat system should begin with, the
use of a scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic service information.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information for complete circuit schematic or connector pin-out
information.
NOTE: Vehicles equipped with the heated seat option utilize a low voltage cut-off feature. This
feature turns off power to the heated seat
system anytime vehicle voltage is below 11.7v or above 15.5v. Be certain to check the vehicle
electrical system for proper voltage anytime the power seat system appears inoperative.
Before any testing of the heated seat system is attempted, the battery should be fully-charged.

Trailer Towing Relay: Description and Operation Trailer Tow Relay - Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with an optional trailer tow preparation package have four trailer tow relays, one
each for the trailer tow stop/turn right and left and one each for the trailer stop lamp right and left.
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 included with the trailer tow preparation wire harness that is shipped
loose in the glove box for customer or dealer installation at the rear of the vehicle. A trailer tow
stop/turn relay is located behind the rear fascia below each outer tail lamp, while a trailer stop lamp
relay is located behind the rear fascia below each outboard end of the rear bumper reinforcement.
Each relay and connector is wrapped within an isolator envelope for sound deadening and
anti-rattle protection. Refer to the appropriate wiring information for specific relay cavity assignment
information.
Any of the trailer tow relays cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the
affected unit must be replaced.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Trailer Tow Relay - Description > Page 78
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 Totally
Integrated Power Module (TIPM) to the tail lamps to control a high current output to the 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 of both the left and right trailer tow
stop/turn relays is connected to their respective left or right trailer tow stop/turn signal pins of the
4-way trailer tow connector at all times. The common feed terminals of both the left and right trailer
tow stop relays is connected to the normally closed (87A) terminal of their respective left or right
trailer tow stop/turn relay at all times.
- Coil Ground Terminal (85) - The coil ground terminal of both the left and right trailer tow stop/turn
relays is connected to their respective left or right rear turn signal control circuits from the TIPM at
all times. The coil ground terminals of both the left and right trailer tow stop relays are connected to
the stop lamp control circuit from the TIPM at all times.
- Coil Battery Terminal (86) - The coil battery terminal of both the left and right trailer tow stop/turn
relays is connected to a path to ground at all times. The coil battery terminal of both the left and
right trailer tow stop relays is connected to their respective left or right rear turn signal control
circuits from the TIPM at all times.
- Normally Open Terminal (87) - The normally open terminal of both the left and right trailer tow
stop/turn relays is connected to the stop lamp control circuit from the TIPM whenever that relay is
energized. The normally open terminal of both the left and right trailer tow stop relays is connected
to a path to ground whenever that relay is energized.
- Normally Closed Terminal (87A) - The normally closed terminal of both the left and right trailer tow
stop/turn relays is connected are connected to the common supply (30) terminal of their respective
left or right trailer tow stop relay whenever the relay is de-energized. The normally closed terminal
of both the left and right trailer tow stop relays is not connected to any circuit in this application.
The trailer tow relays and the hard wired circuits for the relays 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 and communication between other modules and devices that provide some
features of the trailer tow turn and stop lamp lighting system. The most reliable, efficient, and
accurate means to diagnose the electronic controls and communication related to trailer tow turn
and stop lamp lighting operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation Anti-Lock Brake System Module Description
DESCRIPTION
The Antilock Brake Module (ABM) is a microprocessor-based device which monitors the antilock
brake system (ABS) during normal braking and controls it when the vehicle is in an ABS stop or
when in a traction control situation. The ABM utilizes a 47-way electrical connector on the vehicle
wiring harness. The power source for the ABM is through the ignition switch in the RUN or ON
position.
NOTE: The ABM is only separately serviceable for non-HSA (Hill Start Assist) equipped vehicles.
Do not remove the ABM for vehicles
equipped with HSA.
The ABM (1) is mounted to the HCU (2) as part of the Integrated Control Unit (ICU). The ICU is
located in the engine compartment below the master cylinder on the front suspension
cradle/crossmember. For information on the ICU, See: Brakes and Traction Control/Antilock Brakes
/ Traction Control Systems/Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes/Description and
Operation/Integrated Control Unit (ICU) - Description - DESCRIPTION).

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation Anti-Lock Brake System Module Operation
OPERATION
The primary functions of the Antilock Brake Module (ABM) are to:
- Monitor the antilock brake system for proper operation.
- Detect wheel locking or wheel slipping tendencies by monitoring the speed of all four wheels of
the vehicle.
- Control fluid modulation to the wheel brakes while the system is in an ABS mode.
- Store diagnostic information.
- Provide communication to the scan tool while in diagnostic mode.
- Illuminate the amber ABS warning indicator lamp.
- Illuminate the ESP function lamp in the message center on the instrument panel when a traction
control event occurs.
- Illuminate the ESP function lamp when the amber ABS warning indicator lamp illuminates.
The ABM constantly monitors the antilock brake system for proper operation. If the ABM detects a
fault, it will turn on the amber ABS warning indicator lamp and disable the antilock braking system.
The normal base braking system will remain operational.
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with traction control, the ESP function lamp will illuminate anytime
the amber ABS warning indicator lamp
illuminates.
The ABM continuously monitors the speed of each wheel through the signals generated by the
wheel speed sensors to determine if any wheel is beginning to lock. When a wheel locking
tendency is detected, the ABM commands the ABM command coils to actuate. The coils then open
and close the valves in the HCU that modulate brake fluid pressure in some or all of the hydraulic
circuits. The ABM continues to control pressure in individual hydraulic circuits until a locking
tendency is no longer present.
The ABM contains a self-diagnostic program that monitors the antilock brake system for system
faults. When a fault is detected, the amber ABS warning indicator lamp is turned on and the fault
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is then stored in a diagnostic program memory. A latched fault will
disable certain system functionality for the current ignition cycle. An unlatched fault will disable
certain system functionality until the fault condition disappears. These DTC's will remain in the
ABM memory even after the ignition has been turned off. The DTC's can be read and cleared from
the ABM memory by a technician using a scan tool. If not cleared with a scan tool, the fault
occurrence and DTC will be automatically cleared from the ABM memory after the identical fault
has not been seen during the next 3,500 miles. Drive-off may be required for the amber ABS
warning indicator lamp to go out on the next ignition cycle.

DESCRIPTION
A blower motor power module is used on this model when 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, instead of the blower motor power
module .
The blower motor power module is mounted to the bottom of the HVAC housing, on the passenger
side of the vehicle. The blower motor power module consists of a molded plastic mounting plate (1)
with an integral connector receptacle (2). Concealed behind the mounting plate is the power
module electronic circuitry (3) and a finned aluminum heat sink (4). The blower motor power
module is accessed for service from under 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 instrument panel wire harness. A second lead and connector of the
instrument panel wire harness is connected to 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 which 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 must be replaced if inoperative or

Control Module HVAC: Description and Operation Rear Blower Motor Power Module - Description
DESCRIPTION
A blower motor power module is used on this model when equipped with the automatic
temperature control (ATC) rear heating-A/C system. Models equipped with the manual temperature
control (MTC) rear heating-A/C system use a blower motor resistor, instead of the blower motor
power module .
The rear blower motor power module (1) is mounted to the inboard side of the rear heating-A/C
housing, located on the right side of the vehicle. The rear blower motor power module consists of a
molded plastic housing with two integral wire connector receptacles (2) for the power module
electronic circuitry, a mounting plate (3) with a gasket and a finned aluminum heat sink (4).
The rear blower motor power module can be accessed for service without removing the rear
heater-A/C housing.

Control Module HVAC: Description and Operation Rear Blower Motor Power Module - Operation
OPERATION
The rear blower motor power module is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
dedicated lead and connector of the rear body wire harness. A second lead and connector of the
wire harness is connected to the rear blower motor. The rear 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 which compares the PWM signal voltage to the
rear 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 rear 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 rear blower motor power module cannot be adjusted or repaired must be replaced if
inoperative or damaged.

DESCRIPTION
An electrical Junction Block (JB) is located next to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM).
The JB combines the functions previously provided by a separate relay center. It also serves to
simplify and centralize numerous electrical components, as well as to distribute electrical current to
many of the accessory systems in the vehicle. It 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 junction block is replaced as part of
the engine harness.

PCM
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is a digital computer containing a microprocessor. The PCM
receives input signals from various switches and sensors referred to as Powertrain Control Module
Inputs. Based on these inputs, the PCM adjusts various engine and vehicle operations through
devices referred to as Powertrain Control Module Outputs.
NOTE: PCM Inputs:
- Air Conditioning Pressure Transducer
- ASD/Main Relay
- Battery Voltage
- Brake Switch
- Camshaft Position Sensor
- Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Distance Sensor (from transmission control module)
- EGR Position Feedback (if equipped)
- Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
- Heated Oxygen Sensors
- Ignition sense
- Inlet Air Temperature Sensor
- Knock Sensor
- Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
- Park/Neutral (from trans range sensor)
- Power Steering Pressure Switch
- Proportional Purge Sense
- CAN C Bus
- Speed Control
- Transmission Control Relay (Switched B+)
- Transmission Pressure Switches
- Transmission Temperature Sensor
- Transmission Input Shaft Speed Sensor
- Transmission Output Shaft Speed Sensor
- Vehicle Speed
NOTE: PCM Outputs:
- Air Conditioning Clutch Relay
- Data Link Connector (CAN C Bus)
- Double Start Override
- EGR Solenoid (if equipped)
- Fuel Injectors
- Generator Field
- High Speed Fan Relay
- Ignition Coils
- Natural Vacuum Leak Detection
- Low Speed Fan Relay
- MTV Actuator
- Proportional Purge Solenoid
- SRV Valve
- Speed Control Relay
- Speed Control Vent Relay
- Speed Control Vacuum Relay
- Torque Reduction Request
- Transmission Control Relay
- Transmission Solenoids
- 5 Volt Output
Based on inputs it receives, the powertrain control module (PCM) adjusts fuel injector pulse width,
idle speed, ignition timing, and canister purge operation and EGR if equipped. The PCM regulates
the cooling fans, air conditioning and speed control systems. The PCM changes generator charge
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Description and Operation >

rate by adjusting the generator field.
The PCM adjusts injector pulse width (air-fuel ratio) based on the following inputs.
- Manifold Absolute Pressure
- Engine Speed (crankshaft position sensor)
- Battery Voltage
- Inlet Air Temperature Sensor
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Exhaust Gas Oxygen Content (heated oxygen sensors)
- Throttle Position
The PCM adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control motor based on the following inputs.
- Brake Switch
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Engine Speed (crankshaft position sensor)
- Park/Neutral
- Transaxle Gear Engagement
- Throttle Position
- Vehicle Speed (from Transmission Control Module)
The PCM adjusts ignition timing based on the following inputs.
- Inlet Air Temperature
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Engine Speed (crankshaft position sensor)
- Knock Sensor
- Manifold Absolute Pressure
- Park/Neutral (from trans range sensor)
- Transaxle Gear Engagement
- Throttle Position
The camshaft and crankshaft signals are sent to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). If the PCM
does not receive both signals within approximately one second of engine cranking, it deactivates
the fuel pump. When deactivated, power is shut off to the fuel injectors, ignition coils, fuel pump
and the heating element in each oxygen sensor.
The PCM contains a voltage converter that changes battery voltage to a regulated 5.0 volts. The
5.0 volts power the camshaft position sensor, and crankshaft position sensor. The PCM also
provides a regulated 5.0 volts supply for the, manifold absolute pressure sensor, throttle position
sensor and EGR (if equipped).
The PCM engine control strategy prevents reduced idle speeds until after the engine operates for
320 km (200 miles). If the PCM is replaced after 320 km (200 miles) of usage, update the mileage
in new PCM. Use the scan tool to change the mileage in the PCM. Refer to the appropriate
Powertrain Diagnostic Manual and the scan tool. If equipped with SKREEM, must use SKREEM
function to program VIN number in new PCM.
TRANSMISSION CONTROL
CVI CALCULATION
An important function of the PCM is to monitor Clutch Volume Index (CVI). CVIs represent the
volume of fluid needed to compress a clutch pack.
The PCM monitors gear ratio changes by monitoring the Input and Output Speed Sensors. The
Input, or Turbine Speed Sensor sends an electrical signal to the PCM that represents input shaft
rpm. The Output Speed Sensor provides the PCM with output shaft speed information.
By comparing the two inputs, the PCM can determine transaxle gear ratio. This is important to the
CVI calculation because the PCM determines CVIs by monitoring how long it takes for a gear
change to occur.
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > 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 383
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 PCM 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 PCM can determine
the volume of fluid used to apply or release a friction element.
The volume of transmission fluid needed to apply the friction elements are continuously updated for
adaptive controls. As friction material wears, the volume of fluid need to apply the element
increases.
Certain mechanical problems within the clutch assemblies (broken return springs, out of position
snap rings, excessive clutch pack clearance, improper assembly, etc.) can cause inadequate or
out-of-range clutch volumes. Also, defective Input/Output Speed Sensors and wiring can cause
these conditions. The following chart identifies the appropriate clutch volumes and when they are
monitored/updated:
SHIFT SCHEDULES
The PCM 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 PCM appropriately adjusts the shift schedule. Refer to the
following chart to determine the appropriate operation expected, depending on driving conditions.

SENSOR RETURN - PCM INPUT
The sensor return circuit provides a low electrical noise ground reference for all of the systems
sensors. The sensor return circuit connects to internal ground circuits within the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM).

PCM REPLACEMENT
DESCRIPTION
Use the scan tool to reprogram the new pcm with the vehicle's original identification number (vin)
and the vehicle's original mileage. If this step is not done a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may be
set.
PCM Ground
PCM GROUND
Ground is provided through multiple pins of the PCM connector. Depending on the vehicle there
may be as many as two different ground pins. There are power grounds and sensor grounds.
The power grounds are used to control the ground side of relays, solenoids, ignition coil or
injectors. The signal ground is used for any input that uses sensor return for ground, and the
ground side of any internal processing component.
The PCM case is shielded to prevent RFI and EMI. The PCM case is grounded and must be firmly
attached to a good, clean body ground.
Internally all grounds are connected together, however there is noise suppression on the sensor

MODULE PROGRAMMING
The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) controls the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS), Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE). When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is in need of replacement, perform
the following steps in order:
NOTE: The PCM and the WIN should never be replaced at the same time. They should be
replaced independently of each other.
1. If applicable, first replace the PCM with the original WIN still connected to the vehicle. 2. Using a
scan tool program the new PCM. (This will ensure the transfer of the Secret Key data from the
original WIN into the new PCM). 3. Replace the WIN, using the scan tool program the new WIN
module. This will transfer the Secret Key data from the PCM into the new WIN. 4. With the scan
tool reprogram the key FOBIK to the new WIN. 5. Ensure all the customer's keys have been
programmed to the new module.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new WIN after the proper procedures
are followed correctly, programming
new keys will be necessary.
PROGRAMMING THE SECRET KEY TO THE WIN
The secret key is an ID code that is unique to each WIN. This code is programmed and stored in
the WIN, the PCM, and each ignition key transponder chip. When the PCM or WIN is replaced, it is
necessary to program the Secret Key Code into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool.
Follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED, WIN
REPLACED, or TIPM REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS
CONTROL MODULE menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Programming the PCM or WIN 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 and 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.
PCM/WIN PROGRAMMING
When an PCM and the WIN are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new WIN. 2. Replace all ignition keys and program them to the new WIN.
PROGRAMMING THE WIN
CAUTION: Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle. 2. Connect the scan tool.
NOTE: Have a unique vehicle PIN readily available before running the routine
CAUTION: If the PCM and WIN are replaced at the same time, the PCM MUST be programmed
before the WIN.
3. Select "ECU View." 4. Select "WIN". 5. Select "Miscellaneous Functions." 6. Select "WIN
Replaced". 7. Enter the PIN when prompted. 8. Cycle ignition key after the successful routine
completion.
NOTE: If the PCM and the WIN are replaced at the same time, all vehicle keys will need to be
replaced and programmed to the new WIN.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE WIN
Each FOBIK has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is manufactured. When a
key is programmed into the WIN, the module learns the transponder ID code and the transponder
acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the WIN.
CAUTION: Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle. 2. Connect the scan tool. 3. Have a unique vehicle PIN
readily available before running the routine.

are followed correctly, programming
new keys will be necessary.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned by the WIN. Once a key is learned by a WIN, that
key has acquired the Secret Key for that
WIN and cannot be transferred to any other WIN or vehicle.

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 near the base of the
dash panel and just forward on the center instrument panel support 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, electronic impact sensors and an
energy storage capacitor. A stamped metal cover plate is secured to the bottom of the ORC
housing with five screws to enclose and protect the internal electronic circuitry and components.
An arrow 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 three integral mounting tabs and two integral locating pins. The molded plastic
electrical connector (3), with two receptacles containing numerous terminal pins, exits the rearward
facing side of the ORC housing. These terminal pins connect the ORC to the vehicle electrical
system through two dedicated take outs and connectors, one from the body wire harness and one
from the instrument panel wire harness.
The impact sensors 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 side curtain airbags or seat (thorax) airbags, with or without third row seating as well as
for those vehicles with domestic or export applications. These variations are necessary for both
equipment needs and for compliance with certain regulatory requirements. 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.
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 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 Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM), and a fused output (run-start) circuit
through a second fuse in the TIPM. The ORC receives ground through a ground circuit and take
out of the instrument panel wire harness that is secured by a ground screw to the body sheet
metal. 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.
Various impact sensors within the ORC are continuously monitored by the ORC logic. These
internal sensors, along with several external impact sensor inputs allow the ORC to determine both
the severity of an impact and to verify the necessity for deployment of any airbags. Two remote
front impact sensors are located on the back of the front end module carrier to the right and left of
the cooling module 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 up to six additional remote side
impact sensors located on the left and right front door module carriers, on the right and left lower
C-pillars and, on vehicles equipped with optional third row seating, on the right and left quarter
inner panels to control deployment of the side curtain airbag units and seat (thorax) airbags.
The impact sensors within the ORC are electronic accelerometer sensors that provide an additional
logic input to the ORC microprocessor. These sensors are used to verify the need for a SRS
component deployment by also 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. On vehicles equipped with side curtain airbags or seat airbags, a separate impact sensor
within the ORC provides confirmation to the ORC microprocessor of side impact forces. This
separate 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 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, the seat airbags 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.

REMOVAL
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with side curtain airbags, disable
the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
before attempting any Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) diagnosis or service. The ORC
contains a rollover sensor, which enables the system to deploy the side SRS components in the
event of a vehicle rollover event. If an ORC is accidentally rolled during service while still
connected to battery power, the side SRS components will deploy. Disconnect and isolate the
battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before
performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to
take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
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

This recall applies only to the above vehicles built from February 19, 2009 through February 25,
2009 (MDH 021910 through 022509).
IMPORTANT:
Many of the vehicles within the above build period have already been inspected or repaired and,
therefore, have been excluded from this recall.
IMPORTANT:
Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to
complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider
this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in for
service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.
Subject
The Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) on about 4,300 of the above vehicles may have the
squib connector wiring reversed for the driver airbag module. This could cause the driver side
airbag not to deploy as intended and increase the risk of injury during a crash.
Repair
The Steering Column Control Module build date code must be inspected on all vehicles. Those
vehicles that have Steering Column Control Modules with a Julian date code of 0409, 0419, or
0429 must receive an additional inspection on the driver airbag squib wires. Steering Column
Control Modules with suspect driver airbag squib wires must be replace.
Alternate Transportation
Dealers should attempt to minimize customer inconvenience by placing the owner in a loaner
vehicle if inspection determines that Steering Column Control Module replacement is required and
the vehicle must be held overnight.
Parts Information
There will be no initial parts distribution. Parts should only be ordered after inspection determines
the need for replacement.

Steering Mounted Controls Communication Module: Description and Operation Steering Column
Module - Description
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Steering Control Module (SCM) that is internal to the left
multi-function switch housing (2). The left (lighting) multi-function switch is located on the left side
of the steering column, just below the steering wheel. This switch is the primary control for the
interior and exterior lighting systems. The only visible components of the switch are the control
stalk (1), control knob and control sleeve that extend through the steering column shrouds on the
left side of the column. The remainder of the switch including its mounting provisions and electrical
connections are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing and controls are constructed of molded black plastic. A single screw (7)
through a mounting tab integral to the back of the switch housing, and a slide tab integral to the
bottom of the switch housing secure the switch to the mounting bracket integral to the clockspring
(3). A connector receptacle containing seven terminal pins is integral to the inboard end of the
switch housing and connects the SCM through a jumper wire harness (5) directly to the right
(wiper) multi-function switch (6). A second connector receptacle containing four terminal pins is
integral to the back of the switch housing and connects the SCM to the vehicle electrical system
through a dedicated takeout and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The SCM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged the entire left multi-function
switch must be replaced. See: Lighting and Horns/Sensors and Switches - Lighting and
Horns/Combination Switch/Service and Repair/Left Multifunction Switch - Removal. The
clockspring (with the multi-function switch mounting bracket), the left multi-function switch (with the
SCM), the right multi-function switch and the jumper wire harness are each available for separate
service replacement.

Steering Mounted Controls Communication Module: Description and Operation Steering Column
Module - Operation
OPERATION
The Steering Control Module (SCM) communicates over the Local Interconnect Network (LIN) data
bus with other electronic modules in the vehicle and/or a diagnostic scan tool. The horn switch
circuits pass through the clockspring to the Cab Compartment Node (CCN) and the CCN sends a
CAN message to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) to control the horn. The CCN stores
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) for the SCM. The right (wiper) multi-function switch has several
inputs to the CCN.
The SCM is connected to a fused B(+) circuit and receives a path to ground at all times. These
connections allow it to remain functional regardless of the ignition switch position. The driver airbag
squib circuits of the clockspring, the horn, and the speed control switch circuits pass through the
SCM, but the SCM does not monitor, and has no control outputs related to these circuits. Any other
input to the SCM that would cause a vehicle system to function but does not require that the
ignition switch be in the On position, such as turning on the lights or sounding the horn, prompts
the SCM to wake up and transmit on the CAN data bus.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the SCM, the CAN data bus, the hard
wired inputs or the electronic communication related to SCM operation requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
The integral SCM is not available for separate service replacement. If found inoperative or
defective, the entire left (lighting) multi-function switch must be replaced See: Lighting and
Horns/Sensors and Switches - Lighting and Horns/Combination Switch/Service and Repair/Left
Multifunction Switch - Removal.

Control Module - Description
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Steering Column Control Module (SCCM). The SCCM is secured
near the top of the steering column below the steering wheel and is completely concealed beneath
the steering column shrouds. It is installed as a modular unit that supports the left (lighting)
multi-function switch (1) and right (wiper) multi-function switch (6). The controls for each of these
switches extend through appropriate clearance holes provided in the steering column shrouds.
The microprocessor-based Steering Control Module (SCM) (2) utilizes integrated circuitry and
information carried on the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus along with several hard wired
analog and multiplexed inputs to monitor both the right and left multi-function switches. The SCCM
uses a Local Interconnect Network (LIN) data bus for exterior lighting and wiper functions. The LIN
data is sent to the Cab Compartment Node (CCN) and the CCN then sends it out on the CAN data
bus See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Information Bus/Description
and Operation/Communication - Description. The SCCM is available for service replacement as a
unit or each individual component:
- Clockspring (with integral Steering Angle Sensor if equipped)
- Left Multi-Function Switch (with integral Steering Control Module)
- Right Multi-Function Switch

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 battery negative
(ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing
further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper
precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
The hard wired circuits between components related to the Steering Control Module (SCM) 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 SCM or
the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices that provide some
features of the SCM. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the SCM or the
electronic controls and communication related to SCM operation requires the use of a diagnostic
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Headlamp Washer Motor Relay: Description and Operation Headlamp Washer Relay - Description
DESCRIPTION
The headlamp washer relay (1) is a conventional International Standards Organization (ISO)
skirted relay. Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical dimensions,
current capacities, terminal patterns (2), 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 headlamp washer relay is located in a dedicated connector on a take out of the Front End
Module (FEM) wire harness, and is secured to the radiator closure panel to the left of the washer
reservoir in front of the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) in the engine compartment, near
the battery. The headlamp washer relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or
damaged, the unit must be replaced.

Motor Relay > Component Information > Description and Operation > Headlamp Washer Relay - Description > Page 525
Headlamp Washer Motor Relay: Description and Operation Headlamp Washer Relay - Operation
OPERATION
The headlamp washer relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current input from the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) to control a high current output to the headlamp washer
pump/motor unit. 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 headlamp washer relay terminals are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
dedicated take out and connector of the Front End Module (FEM) wire harness. The inputs and
outputs of the headlamp washer relay include:
- Common Feed Terminal - The common feed terminal (30) is connected to battery current on a
fused B(+) circuit from a fuse in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) at all times.
Coil Ground Terminal - The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to battery current on a fused run
relay output circuit from a fuse in the TIPM at all times. This circuit is energized by the run relay
only while the engine is running.
- Coil Battery Terminal - The coil battery terminal (86) is connected to a low side driver output from
the TIPM on a headlamp washer relay control circuit. The TIPM controls headlamp washer system
operation through this relay connection.
- Normally Open Terminal - The normally open terminal (87) is connected through a headlamp
washer relay output circuit to the headlamp washer pump/motor unit at all times. When the relay is
energized, the normally open terminal of the relay is connected to battery current from the fuse in
the TIPM.
- Normally Closed Terminal - The normally closed terminal (87A) is not connected to any circuit in
this application, but will have battery current present whenever the headlamp washer relay coil is
not energized.
The headlamp washer 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. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
the electronic controls or the communication between modules and other devices that provide
some features of the headlamp washer system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the headlamp washer relay or the electronic controls and communication related to
headlamp washer system 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 two different applications. One switch is used only
on vehicles equipped with the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) for sale in certain export
markets where protection of the underhood area is required equipment. The second switch is used
only on domestic vehicles equipped with an optional remote starter 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 in the stamped steel switch mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is
secured with screws to the right inner fender shield near the fender ledge in the engine
compartment. 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 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.

Sensor/Switch (For Alarm) > Component Information > Description and Operation > Vehicle Theft Security Hood Ajar Switch
- Description > Page 534
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 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 vehicles only - dark brown retainer ring), the switch is
connected in series between ground and the hood ajar switch sense input of the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM). The TIPM uses an internal resistor pull up to monitor the state of the hood
ajar switch contacts.
In the remote starter system application (domestic vehicles only - white retainer ring) the switch has
a 1 kilohm 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 TIPM and the hood ajar
switch sense input of the TIPM. The TIPM continually monitors this circuit and it will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that it detects.
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 bracket, the plunger is
depressed by 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 TIPM 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 vehicle theft or domestic remote starter
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.

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 two different applications. One switch is used only
on vehicles equipped with the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) for sale in certain export
markets where protection of the underhood area is required equipment. The second switch is used
only on domestic vehicles equipped with an optional remote starter 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 in the stamped steel switch mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is
secured with screws to the right inner fender shield near the fender ledge in the engine
compartment. 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 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.

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 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 vehicles only - dark brown retainer ring), the switch is
connected in series between ground and the hood ajar switch sense input of the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM). The TIPM uses an internal resistor pull up to monitor the state of the hood
ajar switch contacts.
In the remote starter system application (domestic vehicles only - white retainer ring) the switch has
a 1 kilohm 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 TIPM and the hood ajar
switch sense input of the TIPM. The TIPM continually monitors this circuit and it will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that it detects.
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 bracket, the plunger is
depressed by 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 TIPM 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 vehicle theft or domestic remote starter
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 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 track adjuster motor. The selected adjuster motor operates to
move the seat through its drive unit in the selected direction until the switch is released, or until the
travel limit of the adjuster is reached. When the switch is moved in the opposite direction, the
battery feed and ground path to the motor are reversed through the switch contacts. This causes
the adjuster motor to run in the opposite direction.
No power seat switch should be held applied in any direction after the adjuster has reached its
travel limit. The power seat adjuster motors each contain a self-resetting circuit breaker to protect
them from overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting of the circuit breaker may result in
motor damage.

Each heated seat switch (4) provides a resistor-multiplexed signal to the instrument cluster,
sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). Amber Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
on the outside edge of each switch indicate the level of heat in use: Two LEDs are illuminated for
high, one for low, and none for off. Pressing the switch once will select high-level heating. Pressing
the switch a second time will select low-level heating. Pressing the switch a third time will shut the
heating elements off.
The LED indicator lamps in each heated seat switch cannot be repaired. If the LED lamps are
inoperative or damaged, or the switch is inoperative or damaged the complete ASBM assembly
must be replaced, See: Service and Repair/Heated Seat Switch - Removal.

OPERATION
The heated seat switches (4) are active any time the Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus is
active. Depressing the heated seat switch provides a switch status message to the instrument
cluster, sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN), via the LIN data bus. The
CCN is responsible for supplying the LIN data 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.

HEATED SEAT SWITCH
In order to obtain conclusive testing, the heated seat system and the Local Interface Network (LIN)
data bus circuit must be checked. Any diagnosis of the heated seat system should begin with, the
use of a scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic service information.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information for complete circuit schematic or connector pin-out
information.
NOTE: Vehicles equipped with the heated seat option utilize a low voltage cut-off feature. This
feature turns off power to the heated seat
system anytime vehicle voltage is below 11.7v or above 15.5v. Be certain to check the vehicle

Parking Brake Warning Switch: Description and Operation Parking Brake Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
There are two unique park brake switches used on this vehicle, depending upon whether the
vehicle has a foot-operated or hand-operated park brake lever mechanism.
FOOT-OPERATED
Foot-Operated Park Brake Switch
The foot-operated park brake switch (1) is located on the park brake lever mechanism on the cowl
side inner panel below the instrument panel, outboard 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 foot-operated park brake switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged,
it must be replaced.
HAND-OPERATED
Hand-Operated Park Brake Switch
The hand-operated park brake switch (1) is located on the park brake lever mechanism on the floor
panel transmission tunnel below the center floor console. This switch includes a spade-type output
terminal (2) 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 (4) 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 (3) with an integral grounding lug
on one end and an integral actuating lever and follower on the opposite end. The switch is secured
to and grounded by a single screw to the park brake lever mechanism.
The hand-operated 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
Both the foot-operated and hand-operated park brake switch are normally closed, mechanically
actuated leaf contact switches that are operated by the foot or hand 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 as a logic input by the EMIC 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.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the
electronic controls and communication between other modules and devices that rely upon inputs
from the park brake switch. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the
electronic controls and communication related to park brake switch operation requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

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 battery negative
(ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing
further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper
precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
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. 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 C2) 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

MODULE-ASBM
The ESP Off Switch (2) is part of the accessory switch bank module located in the center bezel (2)
on the instrument panel above the radio. The ESP Off switch turns the Electronic Stability Program
off whenever the switch is depressed. Depressing the switch a second time turns the ESP(R) back
on. The switch resets itself each time the ignition is cycled.
When the ESP Off switch is depressed and released, turning ESP(R) off, it does not completely
turn the system off. The ESP(R) system reduces torque management to a lesser amount, but
ESP(R) function can still occur if the system perceives the need.
The ESP Off switch is serviced as part of the accessory switch bank. There are different accessory
switch banks available based on the option content of the vehicle. Ensure the accessory switch
bank being installed matches the vehicle options.

OPERATION
The ABM sends 12 volts to power an Integrated Circuit (IC) in the sensor. The IC supplies a
constant 7 mA power supply to the ABM. The relationship of the magnetic pole encoder to the
permanent magnet in the sensor, signals the IC to enable a second 7 mA power supply. The output
of the sensor, sent to the ABM, is a DC voltage signal with changing voltage and current levels.
The ground for the IC and the current sense circuit is provided by the ABM.
When a pole is properly aligned with the sensor, the voltage signal is approximately 0.8 volts and a
constant 7 mA current is sent to the ABM. As the magnetic pole encoder rotates, the encoder shifts
the magnetic field and the IC enables a second 7 mA current source. The ABM senses a voltage
signal of approximately 1.6 volts and 14 mA. The ABM measures the amperage of the digital signal
for each wheel. The resulting signal is interpreted by the ABM as the wheel speed.

Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Description and Operation Front Ambient
Temperature Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The ambient air temperature sensor is a variable resistor that operates on a 5-volt reference signal
sent by the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). The ambient air temperature sensor is
connected to the TIPM 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 TIPM. The TIPM converts and broadcasts the sensor data over the Controller Area Network
(CAN) IHS bus, where it is read by the ATC A/C-heater control, Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
and other 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.

Temperature Sensor - Description
DESCRIPTION
The evaporator temperature sensor measures the temperature of the conditioned air downstream
of the A/C evaporator. The evaporator temperature sensor is an electrical thermistor (1) mounted
on the end of a molded plastic housing (2) that is inserted into the driver side of the HVAC housing
near the coldest point of the A/C evaporator. The evaporator temperature sensor is retained in the
HVAC housing by two integral retaining tabs (3) and is connected to the vehicle electrical system
by use of a wire lead and connector (4) with two terminals.

Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Front Evaporator
Temperature Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The evaporator temperature sensor monitors the surface temperature of 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.
The A/C-heater control uses the monitored voltage reading as an indication of evaporator
temperature. The A/C-heater control is programmed to respond to this input by requesting the
powertrain control module (PCM) or the engine control module (ECM) (depending on engine
application) to adjust the compressor swash plate angle as necessary to optimize A/C system
performance and to protect the A/C system from evaporator freezing See: Heating and Air
Conditioning/Compressor HVAC/Description and Operation/A/C Compressor - Operation.
The evaporator temperature sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool.
The evaporator temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and it 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 liquid
line at the right front corner of the engine compartment. An internally threaded fitting on the A/C
pressure transducer connects it to the externally threaded Schrader-type fitting. A rubber O-ring
seals the connection between the A/C pressure transducer and the A/C liquid line fitting. The A/C
pressure transducer is connected to the vehicle electrical system by a molded plastic connector
with three terminals.

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 A/C discharge line. The internal resistance of the A/C
pressure transducer changes in response to the pressures it monitors.
The Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) provides a five volt reference signal and a sensor
ground to the A/C pressure transducer. The TIPM then monitors the output voltage of the
transducer on a sensor return circuit to determine refrigerant pressure and sends a message to the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or the Engine Control Module (ECM) (depending on engine
application) over the CAN C BUS.
With 3.5L 5-Passenger and all 7-Passenger models, the PCM is programmed to respond to this
and other sensor inputs by controlling the operation of the swash plate within the A/C compressor
and the radiator cooling fan to help optimize A/C system performance and to protect the system
components from damage. The PCM adjusts the swash plate to nearly a zero degree angle (low
compressor displacement) when high side pressure rises above 3130 kPa (454 psi) and readjusts
the swash plate to a greater angle (higher compressor displacement) when high side pressure
drops below 1999 kPa (290 psi). The A/C pressure transducer also reduces the swash plate angle
if the high side pressure drops below 200 kPa (29 psi) and will increase the swash plate angle
when the high side pressure rises above 234 - 262 kPa (34 - 38 psi). When the refrigerant pressure
rises above 1655 kPa (240 psi), the PCM will actuate the cooling fan.
With 2.4L 5-Passenger models, A/C compressor clutch engagement is controlled by the PCM or
ECM, depending on engine application. When the A/C-heater control is set to any A/C position, it
sends a request signal on the CAN-IHS bus to the TIPM, which then transfers the request on the
CAN-C Bus to the PCM/ECM, which determines if operating conditions are correct for A/C clutch
engagement. When all operating conditions have been met, the PCM/ECM sends a signal on a
dedicated hard-wired circuit back to the TIPM to energize the internal A/C clutch high side driver.
When energized, the A/C clutch high side driver provides battery current to the A/C clutch field coil.
A Schrader-type valve in the A/C discharge line fitting permits the A/C pressure transducer to be
removed or installed without disturbing the refrigerant in the A/C system.
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.

DESCRIPTION
The infrared temperature sensor is located in the overhead console and consists of an infrared
transducer concealed behind a clear lens (2) in a molded plastic housing with an integral wire
connector receptacle (1) and mounting tab (3).
The infrared sensor is used only on models equipped with the automatic temperature control (ATC)
heating-A/C system.

Information > Description and Operation > Infrared Temperature Sensor - Description > Page 788
Solar Sensor: Description and Operation Infrared Temperature Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The infrared sensor detects thermal radiation emitted by the driver and front passenger seat
occupants and surroundings and converts its data into a linear Pulse Width Modulated (PWM)
output signal which 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 levels. 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 A/C-heater control
continually monitors the infrared sensor circuits, and will store Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
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.

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.

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 may result in an
accidental airbag deployment and possible serious 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 or 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 instrument panel 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.

Dimmer Switch: Description and Operation Left Multifunction Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The left (lighting) multi-function switch is located on the left side of the steering column, just below
the steering wheel. This switch is the primary control for the interior and exterior lighting systems.
The only visible components of the switch are the control stalk (2), control knob (1) and control
sleeve (3) that extend through the steering column shrouds on the left side of the column. The
remainder of the switch including its mounting provisions, its electrical connection, and the turn
signal cancel actuator are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing (2) and controls (1) 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. A single screw (7) through a mounting tab integral to the back of the
switch housing, and a slide tab integral to the bottom of the switch housing secure the switch to the
mounting bracket integral to the clockspring (3).
The Steering Control Module (SCM) is internal to the switch housing. The switch outputs are
internally connected directly to the SCM. A single connector receptacle containing seven terminal
pins is integral to the inboard end of the switch housing and connects the right multi-function switch
(6) through a jumper wire harness (5) directly to the SCM. An integral connector receptacle on the
back of the switch housing connects the SCM to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The left multi-function switch provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the following
exterior lighting functions:
- Automatic Headlamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob
provides detent switching for the optional automatic headlamps.
- Front Fog Lamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob provides
detent switching for the optional front fog lamps.
- Headlamps - The left multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching for the

beams.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The left multi-function switch control stalk includes momentary switching
of the headlamp high beam circuits to provide an optical horn feature (sometimes referred to as
flash-to-pass), which allows the vehicle operator to momentarily flash the headlamp high beams as
an optical signalling device.
- Park Lamps - The left multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching for the park
lamps.
Rear Fog Lamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob provides
detent switching for the optional rear fog lamps. Rear fog lamps are optional only for vehicles
manufactured for certain export markets, where they are required.
- Turn Signal Control - The left multi-function switch control stalk provides both momentary
non-detent switching and detent switching with automatic cancellation for both the left and right turn
signal lamps.
The left multi-function switch also provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the
following interior lighting functions:
- Interior Lamps Defeat - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching to
defeat the illumination of all interior courtesy lamps when a door or the liftgate is opened.
- Interior Lamps On - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching to
illuminate all interior courtesy lamps simultaneously.
- Panel Lamps Dimming - The left multi-function switch control ring provides simultaneous
adjustable control of the illumination intensity of all instrument panel lighting at one of six available
illumination intensity levels.
Parade Mode - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching for a parade
mode that maximizes the illumination intensity of all instrument panel lighting for visibility when
driving in daylight with the exterior lamps turned on.
The left 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 unit must be replaced. The clockspring
(with the multi-function switch mounting bracket), the left multi-function switch (with the SCM), the
right multi-function switch and the jumper wire harness are each available for separate service
replacement.

Dimmer Switch: Description and Operation Left Multifunction Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The left (lighting) multi-function switch uses resistor multiplexing to control the many functions and
features it provides using a minimal number of hard wired circuits. The switch receives clean
grounds from the Steering Control Module (SCM), then provides resistor multiplexed return outputs
to the SCM to indicate the selected switch positions. The SCM then sends electronic switch status
messages over a Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus to the ElectroMechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN), and the EMIC relays electronic
switch request messages over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to other electronic
modules in the vehicle.
If the SCM detects no inputs from the left multi-function switch, it transmits an electronic Signal Not
Available (SNA) status message over the LIN data bus. The SNA status signals the EMIC to
request other electronic modules to implement a failsafe mode of operation for the exterior lighting
system. The failsafe mode automatically turns the exterior lighting ON when the ignition switch is in
the ON position, and OFF when the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
The hard wired inputs and outputs of the left multi-function switch and SCM may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, the most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose this component requires the
use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
exterior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Automatic Headlamps - The optional automatic headlamps feature is requested when the left
multi-function switch control knob is rotated to the automatic (AUTO) detent position with the
ignition switch in the ON position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left
multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN
data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the
CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Front Fog Lamps - The optional front fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The
switch control knob incorporates an internal cam mechanism that will only allow the front fog lamps
to be selected while the headlamp ON position is also selected, and will automatically move the
control knob to the front fog lamps OFF position when the control knob is rotated to deselect the
headlamps.
- Headlamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is
rotated to the headlamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The headlamp high beams are selected when the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pushed forward to the high beam selection detent position. The low beams
are selected when the control stalk is pulled rearward to the low beam selection detent position.
The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an
electronic beam select switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an
electronic beam select switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules
in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The headlamp optical horn is selected each time the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pulled fully rearward to a momentary position. The headlamp high beams will
remain illuminated for as long as the control stalk is held in this momentary position and the low
beams will be restored when the control stalk is released. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed
input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic beam select switch status message
over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic beam select switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Park Lamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is
rotated to the park lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Rear Fog Lamps - The optional rear fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position and then rotated to the rear fog
lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function
switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus
to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The switch control knob incorporates an internal cam
mechanism that will only allow the rear fog lamps to be selected while the front fog lamps ON
position is also selected, and will automatically move the control knob to the rear fog lamp OFF
position when the control knob is pushed in to deselect the front fog lamps.
- Turn Signal Control - The turn signals are requested when the left multi-function switch control
stalk is moved downward (left signal) or upward (right signal). The control stalk 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, a cancel actuator extends through an opening in the side of
the clockspring case toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is
integral to the clockspring rotor rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the
cancel

actuator when it is extended from the left multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated
during a turning maneuver, one of the 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. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and
sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC,
which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other
electronic modules in the vehicle.
INTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of the how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
interior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Interior Lamps Defeat - The interior lamps defeat feature is requested when the left multi-function
switch control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps DEFEAT detent position. The SCM reads the
resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting
switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior
lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Interior Lamps On - The interior lamps ON feature is requested when the left multi-function switch
control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Panel Lamps Dimming - The panel lamps dimming function is active only when the left
multi-function switch control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting
ON, the panel lamps dimming level is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is

OPERATION
FWD
The front wheel drive (FWD) fuel pump module is located inside the fuel tank with a fuel level
sending unit and pressure regulator. The fuel pump module is a positive displacement, gerotor,
driven by a 12 volt DC permanent magnet electric motor.
The fuel pump module draws fuel through a internal filter and pushes it through the motor to an
outlet pipe. The fuel pump module contains two check valves. One valve relieves internal fuel
pump pressure and regulates maximum pump output. The second valve, in the pump outlet,
maintains pump pressure during engine off conditions.
The fuel pump pressure regulator contains a calibrated spring which forces a diaphragm against
the fuel filter return port. When pressure exceeds the calibrated amount, the diaphragm retracts,
allowing excess fuel pressure in the fuel pump module to purge into the fuel tank.
The maximum deadhead pressure is approximately 880 kPa (130 psi). The fuel pump pressure
regulator adjusts fuel system pressure to approximately 400 ± 34 kPa (58 ± 5 psi).
AWD
Operation of the all wheel drive (AWD) main fuel pump module is similar to the FWD with the
addition of a auxiliary fuel pump module with a auxiliary fuel level sending unit and draws fuel from
the base of the auxiliary fuel pump module (2) through an internal tube.
The auxiliary fuel pump module flow rate is greater than the vehicle fuel consumption rate so that
the auxiliary side of the tank is emptied before fuel is depleted from the primary side.

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.
The resistance in the sensor changes as temperature changes, changing the temperature sensor
signal circuit voltage to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). Based upon the resistance in
the sensor, the instrument cluster, sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN),
display senses a specific voltage on the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus circuit, which
corresponds to a specific temperature. The applicable instrument cluster display then displays the
proper ambient temperature.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Instrument Panel > Outside Temperature
Display Sensor > Component Information > Description and Operation > Page 840
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, the Local Area Network (LIN) data bus and the Totally
Integrated Power Module (TIPM). When the sensor is exposed to temperatures above 60° C (130°
F), or if the sensor circuit is shorted, 60° C (130° F) will appear in the 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, - 40° C (- 40° F) will appear in the display.
The ambient temperature sensor circuit can be diagnosed using the following Temperature System
Test, and Sensor Test. If the temperature sensor and circuit are confirmed to be OK, but the
temperature display is inoperative or incorrect, further testing of the instrument cluster may be
necessary. See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Instrument Cluster /
Carrier/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics for the appropriate
procedure.
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 kilohms. At 55° C (130° F), the sensor
resistance is 2.488 kilohms. The sensor resistance should read between these two values. If OK,
further testing of the instrument cluster may be necessary. See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and
Warning Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics for the appropriate procedure. 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.
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.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position. Disconnect the wire harness connector from the
ambient temperature sensor. 2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position. The display should
now read - 40° C (- 40° 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.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position. The display should now read 60° C (130° F). If OK,
go to 5. 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.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position. Remove the jumper wire. Turn the ignition switch
to the "ON" position and wait until the display
again reads - 40° C (- 40° F). Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position. Reconnect the ambient
temperature sensor. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position. The 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 6
6. Clear any Diagnostic Trouble Codes that may have been set while performing the test. Perform
further diagnosis of the CAN data bus circuit, the
LIN data bus circuit, the TIPM and the ambient temperature sensor (refer to the SENSOR TEST).

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 as a logic input by the EMIC 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.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the
electronic controls and communication between other modules and devices that rely upon inputs
from the park brake switch. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the
electronic controls and communication related to park brake switch operation requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Backup Lamp Switch: Description and Operation Backup Lamp Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a manual transmission (2) have a normally open, spring-loaded plunger
type backup lamp switch (1). Vehicles with an optional electronic automatic transmission have a
Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) that is used to perform several functions, including that of the
backup lamp switch. The TRS is described in further detail elsewhere in this service information.
Refer to the service and diagnostic information for the automatic transmission type installed in the
vehicle.
The backup lamp switch is located in a threaded hole on the left facing surface of the manual
transmission housing. The switch has a threaded body and a hex formation near the plunger end of
the switch. An integral connector receptacle at the end of the switch opposite the plunger connects
the switch to the vehicle electrical system through a take out and connector of the engine wire
harness. When installed, only the switch connector and the hex formation are visible on the outside
of the transmission housing.
The backup lamp switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the entire
switch unit must be replaced. Refer to the service and diagnostic information for the manual
transmission type installed in the vehicle.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Backup Lamp Switch - Description > Page 864
Backup Lamp Switch: Description and Operation Backup Lamp Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The backup lamp switch controls a path to ground for the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM)
on the reverse switch signal circuit. The TIPM reads this input through an internal pull-up, then
controls an output through a high side driver that regulates the flow of battery voltage to the backup
lamp bulbs as appropriate on the backup lamp feed circuit. The switch plunger is mechanically
actuated by the gearshift mechanism within the transmission, which will depress the switch plunger
and close the switch contacts whenever the REVERSE gear has been selected. The switch
receives ground at all times through a take out and eyelet terminal of the wire harness that is
secured to the body sheet metal.
The backup 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. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
the electronic controls and communication between other modules and devices that rely upon
inputs from the backup lamp switch. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
the electronic controls and communication related to backup lamp switch operation requires the
use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Brake Light Switch: Description and Operation Stop Lamp Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
Two unique brake lamp switches are used in this vehicle, depending upon whether the vehicle was
built during early or late production. These switches are not interchangeable and both are
illustrated and described in the paragraphs that follow.
EARLY PRODUCTION
This brake lamp switch (2) is a three circuit, spring-loaded plunger actuated switch that is secured
to the brake pedal support bracket on the dash panel 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 body 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.
This 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.
LATE PRODUCTION
This brake lamp switch (1) is a three circuit, spring-loaded plunger actuated switch that is secured
to the brake pedal support bracket under the instrument panel on the driver side of the vehicle. The
molded plastic switch housing has an integral connector receptacle (4) containing six terminal pins.
The switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out of the body
wire harness.
The switch plunger (3) extends through a mounting collar (2) on one end of the switch housing. The
plunger has a telescoping self-adjustment feature that is activated after the switch is installed by
pulling the brake pedal upward to its normal at-rest position. The telescoping plunger can be pulled
outward from the switch housing to repeat the self-adjustment procedure if necessary.

Brake Light Switch: Description and Operation Stop Lamp Switch - Operation
OPERATION
Both the early and late production brake lamp switches control 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 Center High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) and the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) 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 signal 1 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 Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) on an ignition run/start control output circuit, and
supplies this battery voltage to the PCM on a brake signal 2 circuit only when the brake pedal is
released (brake lamp switch plunger is depressed).
The PCM sends electronic brake lamp switch status messages to other electronic modules in the
vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus for use as an additional logic input for
controlling many other vehicle functions and features.
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. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
the electronic controls and communication that provide some features related to brake lamp switch
operation. The most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose the electronic controls and
communication related to brake lamp switch operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

DESCRIPTION
The left (lighting) multi-function switch is located on the left side of the steering column, just below
the steering wheel. This switch is the primary control for the interior and exterior lighting systems.
The only visible components of the switch are the control stalk (2), control knob (1) and control
sleeve (3) that extend through the steering column shrouds on the left side of the column. The
remainder of the switch including its mounting provisions, its electrical connection, and the turn
signal cancel actuator are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing (2) and controls (1) 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. A single screw (7) through a mounting tab integral to the back of the
switch housing, and a slide tab integral to the bottom of the switch housing secure the switch to the
mounting bracket integral to the clockspring (3).
The Steering Control Module (SCM) is internal to the switch housing. The switch outputs are
internally connected directly to the SCM. A single connector receptacle containing seven terminal
pins is integral to the inboard end of the switch housing and connects the right multi-function switch
(6) through a jumper wire harness (5) directly to the SCM. An integral connector receptacle on the
back of the switch housing connects the SCM to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The left multi-function switch provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the following
exterior lighting functions:
- Automatic Headlamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob
provides detent switching for the optional automatic headlamps.
- Front Fog Lamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob provides
detent switching for the optional front fog lamps.
- Headlamps - The left multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching for the

Combination Switch: Description and Operation Left Multifunction Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The left (lighting) multi-function switch uses resistor multiplexing to control the many functions and
features it provides using a minimal number of hard wired circuits. The switch receives clean
grounds from the Steering Control Module (SCM), then provides resistor multiplexed return outputs
to the SCM to indicate the selected switch positions. The SCM then sends electronic switch status
messages over a Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus to the ElectroMechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN), and the EMIC relays electronic
switch request messages over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to other electronic
modules in the vehicle.
If the SCM detects no inputs from the left multi-function switch, it transmits an electronic Signal Not
Available (SNA) status message over the LIN data bus. The SNA status signals the EMIC to
request other electronic modules to implement a failsafe mode of operation for the exterior lighting
system. The failsafe mode automatically turns the exterior lighting ON when the ignition switch is in
the ON position, and OFF when the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
The hard wired inputs and outputs of the left multi-function switch and SCM may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, the most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose this component requires the
use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
exterior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Automatic Headlamps - The optional automatic headlamps feature is requested when the left
multi-function switch control knob is rotated to the automatic (AUTO) detent position with the
ignition switch in the ON position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left
multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN
data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the
CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Front Fog Lamps - The optional front fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The
switch control knob incorporates an internal cam mechanism that will only allow the front fog lamps
to be selected while the headlamp ON position is also selected, and will automatically move the
control knob to the front fog lamps OFF position when the control knob is rotated to deselect the
headlamps.
- Headlamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is
rotated to the headlamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The headlamp high beams are selected when the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pushed forward to the high beam selection detent position. The low beams
are selected when the control stalk is pulled rearward to the low beam selection detent position.
The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an
electronic beam select switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an
electronic beam select switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules
in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The headlamp optical horn is selected each time the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pulled fully rearward to a momentary position. The headlamp high beams will
remain illuminated for as long as the control stalk is held in this momentary position and the low
beams will be restored when the control stalk is released. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed
input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic beam select switch status message
over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic beam select switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Park Lamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is
rotated to the park lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Rear Fog Lamps - The optional rear fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position and then rotated to the rear fog
lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function
switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus
to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The switch control knob incorporates an internal cam
mechanism that will only allow the rear fog lamps to be selected while the front fog lamps ON
position is also selected, and will automatically move the control knob to the rear fog lamp OFF
position when the control knob is pushed in to deselect the front fog lamps.
- Turn Signal Control - The turn signals are requested when the left multi-function switch control
stalk is moved downward (left signal) or upward (right signal). The control stalk 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, a cancel actuator extends through an opening in the side of
the clockspring case toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is
integral to the clockspring rotor rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the
cancel

actuator when it is extended from the left multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated
during a turning maneuver, one of the 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. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and
sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC,
which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other
electronic modules in the vehicle.
INTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of the how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
interior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Interior Lamps Defeat - The interior lamps defeat feature is requested when the left multi-function
switch control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps DEFEAT detent position. The SCM reads the
resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting
switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior
lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Interior Lamps On - The interior lamps ON feature is requested when the left multi-function switch
control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Panel Lamps Dimming - The panel lamps dimming function is active only when the left
multi-function switch control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting
ON, the panel lamps dimming level is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is
rotated to any one of five minor detent positions. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Parade Mode - The PARADE (or funeral) mode is active only when the left multi-function switch
control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting ON, the PARADE
mode is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is rotated to the PARADE
mode detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function
switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to
other electronic modules in the vehicle.

Fog/Driving Lamp Switch: Description and Operation Left Multifunction Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The left (lighting) multi-function switch is located on the left side of the steering column, just below
the steering wheel. This switch is the primary control for the interior and exterior lighting systems.
The only visible components of the switch are the control stalk (2), control knob (1) and control
sleeve (3) that extend through the steering column shrouds on the left side of the column. The
remainder of the switch including its mounting provisions, its electrical connection, and the turn
signal cancel actuator are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing (2) and controls (1) 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. A single screw (7) through a mounting tab integral to the back of the
switch housing, and a slide tab integral to the bottom of the switch housing secure the switch to the
mounting bracket integral to the clockspring (3).
The Steering Control Module (SCM) is internal to the switch housing. The switch outputs are
internally connected directly to the SCM. A single connector receptacle containing seven terminal
pins is integral to the inboard end of the switch housing and connects the right multi-function switch
(6) through a jumper wire harness (5) directly to the SCM. An integral connector receptacle on the
back of the switch housing connects the SCM to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.

Hazard Warning Switch: Description and Operation Hazard Warning Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The hazard switch (3) is integral to the instrument panel switch pod (1), which is secured to the
instrument panel center bezel just above the heater and air conditioner controls. A red, stencil-like
International Control and Display Symbol icon for Hazard Warning identifies the hazard switch
button. The remainder of the hazard switch circuitry is concealed within the instrument panel switch
pod.
The hazard switch button has panel lamps dimmer controlled illumination for night visibility. The
switch button latches to a slightly lowered position when the hazard warning system is activated
and the icon on the switch button will illuminate at an increased intensity while the turn signals and
turn signal indicators are flashing. The switch button unlatches to a position flush with the other
push buttons in the switch pod when the hazard warning is deactivated.
All of the circuitry and components of the hazard switch are contained within a molded black plastic
instrument panel switch pod housing. A single connector receptacle is integral to the back of the
switch pod housing. The switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The hazard switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the entire

Hazard Warning Switch: Description and Operation Hazard Warning Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The status of the hazard switch is continually monitored by the circuitry within the instrument panel
switch pod. The switch pod receives battery voltage at all times on a fused battery feed circuit, and
a path to ground at all times through the instrument panel wire harness. The only other inputs to
the switch pod consists of electronic communication with the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster
(EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) over the single wire Local Interface
Network (LIN) data bus.
Whenever the hazard switch is in its unlatched and raised position, the hazard warning system is
selected and the switch pod circuitry provides a hard wired output to the Totally Integrated Power
Module (TIPM). When the TIPM receives a hazard switch input it then controls hazard warning
system operation and flash rate by controlling battery voltage outputs through high side drivers on
the right and left, front and rear turn signal feed circuits. The TIPM also sends the appropriate
electronic messages back to the EMIC to control the illumination and flash rate of the right and left
turn signal indicators, as well as to control the click rate of an electromechanical relay soldered
onto the EMIC electronic circuit board that emulates the sound emitted by a conventional hazard
warning flasher.
The hard wired circuits for the instrument panel switch pod 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 hazard warning
switch or the electronic controls and communication between other modules and devices that
provide some features of the hazard warning system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the hazard switch or the electronic controls and communication related to
hazard warning system operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Headlamp Dimmer Switch: Description and Operation Left Multifunction Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The left (lighting) multi-function switch is located on the left side of the steering column, just below
the steering wheel. This switch is the primary control for the interior and exterior lighting systems.
The only visible components of the switch are the control stalk (2), control knob (1) and control
sleeve (3) that extend through the steering column shrouds on the left side of the column. The
remainder of the switch including its mounting provisions, its electrical connection, and the turn
signal cancel actuator are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing (2) and controls (1) 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. A single screw (7) through a mounting tab integral to the back of the
switch housing, and a slide tab integral to the bottom of the switch housing secure the switch to the
mounting bracket integral to the clockspring (3).
The Steering Control Module (SCM) is internal to the switch housing. The switch outputs are
internally connected directly to the SCM. A single connector receptacle containing seven terminal
pins is integral to the inboard end of the switch housing and connects the right multi-function switch
(6) through a jumper wire harness (5) directly to the SCM. An integral connector receptacle on the
back of the switch housing connects the SCM to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The left multi-function switch provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the following
exterior lighting functions:
- Automatic Headlamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob
provides detent switching for the optional automatic headlamps.
- Front Fog Lamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob provides
detent switching for the optional front fog lamps.
- Headlamps - The left multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching for the
headlamps.

beams.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The left multi-function switch control stalk includes momentary switching
of the headlamp high beam circuits to provide an optical horn feature (sometimes referred to as
flash-to-pass), which allows the vehicle operator to momentarily flash the headlamp high beams as
an optical signalling device.
- Park Lamps - The left multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching for the park
lamps.
Rear Fog Lamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob provides
detent switching for the optional rear fog lamps. Rear fog lamps are optional only for vehicles
manufactured for certain export markets, where they are required.
- Turn Signal Control - The left multi-function switch control stalk provides both momentary
non-detent switching and detent switching with automatic cancellation for both the left and right turn
signal lamps.
The left multi-function switch also provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the
following interior lighting functions:
- Interior Lamps Defeat - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching to
defeat the illumination of all interior courtesy lamps when a door or the liftgate is opened.
- Interior Lamps On - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching to
illuminate all interior courtesy lamps simultaneously.
- Panel Lamps Dimming - The left multi-function switch control ring provides simultaneous
adjustable control of the illumination intensity of all instrument panel lighting at one of six available
illumination intensity levels.
Parade Mode - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching for a parade
mode that maximizes the illumination intensity of all instrument panel lighting for visibility when
driving in daylight with the exterior lamps turned on.
The left 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 unit must be replaced. The clockspring
(with the multi-function switch mounting bracket), the left multi-function switch (with the SCM), the
right multi-function switch and the jumper wire harness are each available for separate service
replacement.

Headlamp Dimmer Switch: Description and Operation Left Multifunction Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The left (lighting) multi-function switch uses resistor multiplexing to control the many functions and
features it provides using a minimal number of hard wired circuits. The switch receives clean
grounds from the Steering Control Module (SCM), then provides resistor multiplexed return outputs
to the SCM to indicate the selected switch positions. The SCM then sends electronic switch status
messages over a Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus to the ElectroMechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN), and the EMIC relays electronic
switch request messages over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to other electronic
modules in the vehicle.
If the SCM detects no inputs from the left multi-function switch, it transmits an electronic Signal Not
Available (SNA) status message over the LIN data bus. The SNA status signals the EMIC to
request other electronic modules to implement a failsafe mode of operation for the exterior lighting
system. The failsafe mode automatically turns the exterior lighting ON when the ignition switch is in
the ON position, and OFF when the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
The hard wired inputs and outputs of the left multi-function switch and SCM may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, the most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose this component requires the
use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
exterior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Automatic Headlamps - The optional automatic headlamps feature is requested when the left
multi-function switch control knob is rotated to the automatic (AUTO) detent position with the
ignition switch in the ON position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left
multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN
data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the
CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Front Fog Lamps - The optional front fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The
switch control knob incorporates an internal cam mechanism that will only allow the front fog lamps
to be selected while the headlamp ON position is also selected, and will automatically move the
control knob to the front fog lamps OFF position when the control knob is rotated to deselect the
headlamps.
- Headlamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is
rotated to the headlamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The headlamp high beams are selected when the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pushed forward to the high beam selection detent position. The low beams
are selected when the control stalk is pulled rearward to the low beam selection detent position.
The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an
electronic beam select switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an
electronic beam select switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules
in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The headlamp optical horn is selected each time the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pulled fully rearward to a momentary position. The headlamp high beams will
remain illuminated for as long as the control stalk is held in this momentary position and the low
beams will be restored when the control stalk is released. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed
input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic beam select switch status message
over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic beam select switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Park Lamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is
rotated to the park lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Rear Fog Lamps - The optional rear fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position and then rotated to the rear fog
lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function
switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus
to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The switch control knob incorporates an internal cam
mechanism that will only allow the rear fog lamps to be selected while the front fog lamps ON
position is also selected, and will automatically move the control knob to the rear fog lamp OFF
position when the control knob is pushed in to deselect the front fog lamps.
- Turn Signal Control - The turn signals are requested when the left multi-function switch control
stalk is moved downward (left signal) or upward (right signal). The control stalk 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, a cancel actuator extends through an opening in the side of
the clockspring case toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is
integral to the clockspring rotor rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the
cancel

actuator when it is extended from the left multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated
during a turning maneuver, one of the 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. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and
sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC,
which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other
electronic modules in the vehicle.
INTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of the how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
interior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Interior Lamps Defeat - The interior lamps defeat feature is requested when the left multi-function
switch control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps DEFEAT detent position. The SCM reads the
resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting
switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior
lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Interior Lamps On - The interior lamps ON feature is requested when the left multi-function switch
control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Panel Lamps Dimming - The panel lamps dimming function is active only when the left
multi-function switch control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting
ON, the panel lamps dimming level is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is
rotated to any one of five minor detent positions. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Parade Mode - The PARADE (or funeral) mode is active only when the left multi-function switch
control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting ON, the PARADE
mode is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is rotated to the PARADE
mode detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function
switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to
other electronic modules in the vehicle.

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. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and
sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC,
which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other
electronic modules in the vehicle.
INTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of the how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
interior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Interior Lamps Defeat - The interior lamps defeat feature is requested when the left multi-function
switch control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps DEFEAT detent position. The SCM reads the
resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting
switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior
lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Interior Lamps On - The interior lamps ON feature is requested when the left multi-function switch
control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Panel Lamps Dimming - The panel lamps dimming function is active only when the left
multi-function switch control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting
ON, the panel lamps dimming level is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is
rotated to any one of five minor detent positions. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Parade Mode - The PARADE (or funeral) mode is active only when the left multi-function switch
control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting ON, the PARADE
mode is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is rotated to the PARADE
mode detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function
switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to
other electronic modules in the vehicle.

Fuel Level Sensor: Description and Operation Fuel Pump Module - Operation
OPERATION
FWD
The front wheel drive (FWD) fuel pump module is located inside the fuel tank with a fuel level
sending unit and pressure regulator. The fuel pump module is a positive displacement, gerotor,
driven by a 12 volt DC permanent magnet electric motor.
The fuel pump module draws fuel through a internal filter and pushes it through the motor to an
outlet pipe. The fuel pump module contains two check valves. One valve relieves internal fuel
pump pressure and regulates maximum pump output. The second valve, in the pump outlet,
maintains pump pressure during engine off conditions.
The fuel pump pressure regulator contains a calibrated spring which forces a diaphragm against
the fuel filter return port. When pressure exceeds the calibrated amount, the diaphragm retracts,
allowing excess fuel pressure in the fuel pump module to purge into the fuel tank.
The maximum deadhead pressure is approximately 880 kPa (130 psi). The fuel pump pressure
regulator adjusts fuel system pressure to approximately 400 ± 34 kPa (58 ± 5 psi).
AWD
Operation of the all wheel drive (AWD) main fuel pump module is similar to the FWD with the
addition of a auxiliary fuel pump module with a auxiliary fuel level sending unit and draws fuel from
the base of the auxiliary fuel pump module (2) through an internal tube.
The auxiliary fuel pump module flow rate is greater than the vehicle fuel consumption rate so that
the auxiliary side of the tank is emptied before fuel is depleted from the primary side.

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
the diagram pages.

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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Ignition System > Ignition Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions >
Page 1142
- 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.

Ignition Switch: Description and Operation Wireless Ignition Node Receiver - Description
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) (1). The WIN and the FOB with
Integrated Key (FOBIK) are the primary components of the keyless ignition system. The only visible
component of the WIN is the ignition switch (5) located on the face of the instrument panel just to
the inboard side of the steering column.
The WIN housing is constructed of molded black plastic and it includes four integral mounting
bosses (4), which are secured to the instrument panel structure with screws. Two connector
receptacles are integral to the back of the switch housing. One (3) connects the WIN to the vehicle
electrical system through a dedicated takeout and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The other (2) is a dedicated connector for the coaxial cable input from the optional remote start
system external antenna module.
The WIN is an integrated electronic receiver that replaces the ignition switch. It communicates with
other electronic modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The WIN interfaces with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) FOBIK and the Tire Pressure Monitor
(TPM) sensors (if equipped) using Radio Frequency (RF) communication, with the Sentry Key
Immobilizer System (SKIS) transponder within the FOBIK using Low Frequency (LF)
communication. It also communicates with the TPM trigger transponders (if equipped) and steering
column lock module (if equipped) using a Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus connection.
The WIN provides a switched 12-volt source through an isolated switch for the steering column lock
module required for certain export market vehicles. It also contains a key removal inhibit solenoid,
an electronic Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) solenoid, a key-in warning contact and it
serves as the real time vehicle clock by transmitting the clock information to other electronic
modules over the CAN data bus.
The WIN cannot be adjusted or repaired, but is flash update capable. If ineffective or damaged, the
entire WIN must be replaced. When replacing the WIN, you must also replace the steering column
lock module (if equipped).

Ignition Switch: Description and Operation Wireless Ignition Node Receiver - Operation
OPERATION
Following are brief descriptions of the systems that the WIN controls.
IGNITION SWITCH
The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) incorporates an integral ignition switch that consists of four rotary
positions with three detent positions and one spring-loaded position. The one extreme clockwise
position is a spring-loaded momentary contact "START" position. When released from the "START"
position, the switch will automatically return to the detent "ON" position. The other position includes
a detent "ACCESSORY" position and a detent "LOCK" position.
The WIN reads the position of the ignition switch and transmits the data via the CAN data bus.
These positions include "LOCK" with ignition key-out, "LOCK" with ignition key-in,
"ACCESSORY,""RUN," and "START."
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (SKIS)
Upon failure of proper Sentry Key Immobilizer (SKIS) communication to the Powertrain Control
Module, (PCM), the PCM will not allow the vehicle to crank. The engine will not re-crank on the key
cycle that the failure occurred, a full key down sequence must be performed for the engine to crank
again. See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Description and
Operation/Vehicle Theft Security System - Operation.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), transmitter uses Radio Frequency (RF) signals to communicate
with the WIN, and the WIN relays the RKE requests to other modules in the vehicle over the CAN
data bus. See: Body and Frame/Locks/Power Locks/Description and Operation/Power Locks Operation
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING (TPM)
The Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system uses radio and sensor technology to monitor tire air
pressure levels. See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Tire Monitoring
System/Description and Operation/Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) - Operation.
REMOTE START WITH/EXTENDED RANGE ANTENNA
Further information concerning the Remote Start System. See: Accessories and Optional
Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Keyless Entry/Keyless Starting System/Description and
Operation/Starting System - Operation
BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK (BTSI)
The Brake Transmission Shifter/Ignition Interlock (BTSI) is controlled by the WIN. The BTSI
prevents the transmission gear shifter from being moved out of PARK without a driver in place.
PARK SHIFT INTERLOCK
The key removal inhibit solenoid internal to the WIN prevents the FOB with Integrated KEY
(FOBIK) from being rotated in the ignition switch to the LOCK position for all vehicles with an
automatic transmission unless the transmission shift lever is in the PARK position. The WIN
module monitors a hard wired input from a switch integral to the automatic transmission shifter
module to control this feature. The key removal inhibit solenoid is electronically disabled internally
by the WIN on vehicles with a manual transmission.

DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Wireless Ignition Node (WIN). The WIN, along with the FOB with
Integrated Key (FOBIK) are the primary components of the keyless ignition system. The only visible
component of the WIN is the ignition switch located on the face of the instrument panel just to the
inboard side of the steering column. The remainder of the WIN including its mounting provisions
and electrical connections are concealed within the instrument panel.
In addition to replacing a conventional keyed ignition switch, the WIN is an integrated electronic
receiver that serves as the base station in the vehicle. It communicates with other electronic
modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The WIN interfaces with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) FOBIK and the Tire Pressure Monitor
(TPM) sensors (if equipped) using Radio Frequency (RF) communication, with the Sentry Key

FOBIK TRAPPED IN WIN
The Fob with Integrated Key (FOBIK) cannot be rotated to the LOCK position, allowing it to be
removed from the ignition switch also referred to as the Wireless Ignition Node/WIN. The automatic
transmission or transaxle is shifted mechanically through a cable from the gearshift lever
mechanism to the transmission or transaxle valve body. A gated park switch is physically located
on and integral to the gearshift lever mechanism and is hard wired directly to the WIN. The gated
park switch is a simple plunger-like actuated open or closed contact switch that could be
considered redundant to the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) except that it monitors the position
selected with the gearshift lever, while the TRS monitors the position or gear of the transmission or
transaxle that is actually engaged. A damaged or improperly adjusted gearshift cable could result in
a different gear being engaged than that which is selected. The WIN uses the gated park switch
input to control an internal key lock solenoid, which controls whether the FOBIK can be rotated to
the LOCK position. When the gearshift lever is not in the PARK position, the gated park switch is a
closed circuit, the key lock solenoid is energized and the FOBIK cannot be rotated to the LOCK
position for removal.

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation Impact Sensor - Operation
Vehicle Front
VEHICLE FRONT
The acceleration-type 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 front 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 commands 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 current in the sensor plus circuit.
The hard wired circuits between the acceleration-type 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 (SRS). The most reliable,
efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the impact sensors or the electronic controls and
communication related to acceleration-type front impact sensor operation requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
Side - Front Door
SIDE - FRONT DOOR
The pressure-type front door side impact sensors recognize a side impact in the front door area by
monitoring changes in pressure within the front door cavity, which manifests itself as a sudden
pressure wave as the door collapses during 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 side 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

Seat Belt Buckle Switch: Description and Operation 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 Seat Belt Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The driver side front seat belt switch is designed to control a path to ground for the seat belt switch
sense input of the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). The TIPM provides electronic driver
side seat belt switch status messages 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 controls the seat belt indicator based upon the electronic driver side seat belt switch
status message inputs.
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 seat belt switch is connected in series between ground and the seat belt switch sense input of
the TIPM. 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 TIPM monitors the condition of the driver seat belt switch
circuits and will send an electronic message to illuminate the airbag indicator in the EMIC then
store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that is detected.
The hard wired circuits between the driver side seat belt switch and the TIPM 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 switch
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 driver side seat belt switch or the electronic controls and communication related to
seat belt switch 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 - Description
DESCRIPTION
The seat track position sensor (2) is a Hall Effect-type sensor used on some vehicles. 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 a mounting slot containing an integral latch feature (1) and slides and
latches onto a stamped metal blade-type bracket located on the inboard side of the upper inboard
seat adjuster track near the rear of the driver side front seat. A molded connector receptacle (3)
integral to the sensor housing is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a connector
and take out of the driver side front 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 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 sends messages over the 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.

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.

Ignition Switch: 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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Starting and Charging > Ignition Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1246
- 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 1247
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.

Ignition Switch: Description and Operation Wireless Ignition Node Receiver - Description
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) (1). The WIN and the FOB with
Integrated Key (FOBIK) are the primary components of the keyless ignition system. The only visible
component of the WIN is the ignition switch (5) located on the face of the instrument panel just to
the inboard side of the steering column.
The WIN housing is constructed of molded black plastic and it includes four integral mounting
bosses (4), which are secured to the instrument panel structure with screws. Two connector
receptacles are integral to the back of the switch housing. One (3) connects the WIN to the vehicle
electrical system through a dedicated takeout and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The other (2) is a dedicated connector for the coaxial cable input from the optional remote start
system external antenna module.
The WIN is an integrated electronic receiver that replaces the ignition switch. It communicates with
other electronic modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The WIN interfaces with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) FOBIK and the Tire Pressure Monitor
(TPM) sensors (if equipped) using Radio Frequency (RF) communication, with the Sentry Key
Immobilizer System (SKIS) transponder within the FOBIK using Low Frequency (LF)
communication. It also communicates with the TPM trigger transponders (if equipped) and steering
column lock module (if equipped) using a Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus connection.
The WIN provides a switched 12-volt source through an isolated switch for the steering column lock
module required for certain export market vehicles. It also contains a key removal inhibit solenoid,
an electronic Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) solenoid, a key-in warning contact and it
serves as the real time vehicle clock by transmitting the clock information to other electronic
modules over the CAN data bus.
The WIN cannot be adjusted or repaired, but is flash update capable. If ineffective or damaged, the
entire WIN must be replaced. When replacing the WIN, you must also replace the steering column
lock module (if equipped).

Ignition Switch: Description and Operation Wireless Ignition Node Receiver - Operation
OPERATION
Following are brief descriptions of the systems that the WIN controls.
IGNITION SWITCH
The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) incorporates an integral ignition switch that consists of four rotary
positions with three detent positions and one spring-loaded position. The one extreme clockwise
position is a spring-loaded momentary contact "START" position. When released from the "START"
position, the switch will automatically return to the detent "ON" position. The other position includes
a detent "ACCESSORY" position and a detent "LOCK" position.
The WIN reads the position of the ignition switch and transmits the data via the CAN data bus.
These positions include "LOCK" with ignition key-out, "LOCK" with ignition key-in,
"ACCESSORY,""RUN," and "START."
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (SKIS)
Upon failure of proper Sentry Key Immobilizer (SKIS) communication to the Powertrain Control
Module, (PCM), the PCM will not allow the vehicle to crank. The engine will not re-crank on the key
cycle that the failure occurred, a full key down sequence must be performed for the engine to crank
again. See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Description and
Operation/Vehicle Theft Security System - Operation.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), transmitter uses Radio Frequency (RF) signals to communicate
with the WIN, and the WIN relays the RKE requests to other modules in the vehicle over the CAN
data bus. See: Body and Frame/Locks/Power Locks/Description and Operation/Power Locks Operation
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING (TPM)
The Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system uses radio and sensor technology to monitor tire air
pressure levels. See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Tire Monitoring
System/Description and Operation/Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) - Operation.
REMOTE START WITH/EXTENDED RANGE ANTENNA
Further information concerning the Remote Start System. See: Accessories and Optional
Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Keyless Entry/Keyless Starting System/Description and
Operation/Starting System - Operation
BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK (BTSI)
The Brake Transmission Shifter/Ignition Interlock (BTSI) is controlled by the WIN. The BTSI
prevents the transmission gear shifter from being moved out of PARK without a driver in place.
PARK SHIFT INTERLOCK
The key removal inhibit solenoid internal to the WIN prevents the FOB with Integrated KEY
(FOBIK) from being rotated in the ignition switch to the LOCK position for all vehicles with an
automatic transmission unless the transmission shift lever is in the PARK position. The WIN
module monitors a hard wired input from a switch integral to the automatic transmission shifter
module to control this feature. The key removal inhibit solenoid is electronically disabled internally
by the WIN on vehicles with a manual transmission.

DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Wireless Ignition Node (WIN). The WIN, along with the FOB with
Integrated Key (FOBIK) are the primary components of the keyless ignition system. The only visible
component of the WIN is the ignition switch located on the face of the instrument panel just to the
inboard side of the steering column. The remainder of the WIN including its mounting provisions
and electrical connections are concealed within the instrument panel.
In addition to replacing a conventional keyed ignition switch, the WIN is an integrated electronic
receiver that serves as the base station in the vehicle. It communicates with other electronic
modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The WIN interfaces with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) FOBIK and the Tire Pressure Monitor
(TPM) sensors (if equipped) using Radio Frequency (RF) communication, with the Sentry Key

FOBIK TRAPPED IN WIN
The Fob with Integrated Key (FOBIK) cannot be rotated to the LOCK position, allowing it to be
removed from the ignition switch also referred to as the Wireless Ignition Node/WIN. The automatic
transmission or transaxle is shifted mechanically through a cable from the gearshift lever
mechanism to the transmission or transaxle valve body. A gated park switch is physically located
on and integral to the gearshift lever mechanism and is hard wired directly to the WIN. The gated
park switch is a simple plunger-like actuated open or closed contact switch that could be
considered redundant to the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) except that it monitors the position
selected with the gearshift lever, while the TRS monitors the position or gear of the transmission or
transaxle that is actually engaged. A damaged or improperly adjusted gearshift cable could result in
a different gear being engaged than that which is selected. The WIN uses the gated park switch
input to control an internal key lock solenoid, which controls whether the FOBIK can be rotated to
the LOCK position. When the gearshift lever is not in the PARK position, the gated park switch is a
closed circuit, the key lock solenoid is energized and the FOBIK cannot be rotated to the LOCK
position for removal.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPM system
pressures have been established for the tire size equipped on the vehicle. Undesirable system
operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same
size, type, or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire
sealants or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with TPM, as damage to the sensors may
result.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. Use tire
pressure sensors in original style factory wheels
only. If aftermarket wheels are installed, and therefore do not contain tire pressure sensors, the
system will not function properly and the driver will be continuously notified of a system
malfunction.
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 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: Any time a sensor is to be installed in a wheel, it is necessary to install a new
sensor-to-wheel seal, metal washer and valve stem
nut, to ensure air tight sealing.
CAUTION: When installing the valve core, be sure to tighten the core to specifications See:
Maintenance/Wheels and Tires/Wheels/Specifications
. Overtightening by a little as three or four inch pounds can damage the sensor.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensor Description
DESCRIPTION
On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM), one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel (5) 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 433 MHz radio frequency. The 433 MHz sensors (1) can be easily
identified by the part number.
CAUTION: Although additional sensors operating at 433 MHz sensors are available and are used
in other applications, they are not
interchangeable. Always make sure the correct sensor is being used and be sure to replace the
sensor with the correct part number.
NOTE: Once mounted inside a tire and wheel assembly you are not able to visually see the
difference between this sensor and other 315 MHz
and 433 MHz sensors. At that point, the TPM/RKE Analyzer 9936, with the Scan Tool may be used
to identify the sensor frequency or the tire can be dismounted allowing visual inspection of the
sensor body and part number.
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). Do not attempt to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. 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.

Switches - Wheels and Tires > Tire Pressure Sensor > Component Information > Description and Operation > Tire Pressure
Monitoring (TPM) Sensor - Description > Page 1271
The serviceable components of the tire pressure sensor are:
- Sensor-To-Wheel Seal (2) and Metal Washer (1)
- Valve Stem Cap (4)
- Valve Stem Core
- Valve Stem Nut (with pressed-in washer) (3)
NOTE: Any time a sensor is installed on a wheel, a new Sensor-To-Wheel Seal (2), Metal Washer
(1) and Valve Stem Nut (3) must be installed
to ensure air tight sealing. A service kit is available.
The valve stem caps and cores 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 by using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer. Using a TPM-RKE
Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission from a sensor.
NOTE: The TPM-RKE Analyzer will not define the mode.
The TPM sensor can be in one of the following operating modes:
- OFF MODE - A new TPM sensor will be in this mode. In this mode the sensor does not transmit
periodically on its own. By forcing a transmission from the sensor with the TPM-RKE Analyzer, it
will change to the STATIONARY MODE. The sensor will also automatically change from OFF
mode to the STATIONARY MODE once it experiences a great increase in pressure (i.e. installation
into a wheel/tire assembly and then inflated).
- WAL MODE - This is the operating mode the sensor assumes when the vehicle is driven over
15mph (24km/h), but only after the vehicle was previously parked for a duration of 18 minutes or
greater. In WAL MODE the sensors transmit every 33 seconds and these transmissions contain
left/right information that allows the TPM Module to determine sensor location on the vehicle. WAL
MODE lasts for the first 10 minutes of consecutive driving, then NORMAL DRIVE mode ensues.
- FACTORY MODE- This is a special case of WAL MODE. If a TPM sensor has just been taken out
of OFF MODE, then for the first 3 minutes of the WAL period (10 minutes) the sensors transmit at
an accelerated rate of every 10 seconds. After the first 20 drives, then the sensors never again
transmit out of FACTORY MODE.
- NORMAL MODE - This is the operating mode the sensor assumes after the first 10 minutes of a
drive. In NORMAL MODE the sensors transmit every 66 seconds and cease transmitting left/right
information.
- SERVICE MODE- Once a vehicle stops, the sensors go into SERVICE MODE. After 18 minutes
of no driving then the sensors go into the STATIONARY MODE. If the vehicle was stopped for less
than 18 minutes and driving resumes, then the sensors go back to the NORMAL MODE.
- STATIONARY MODE - When a vehicle has been stopped for more then 18 minutes, then the
sensor is forced into STATIONARY MODE. In STATIONARY MODE the sensor never transmits
any pressure information. The sensor leaves STATIONARY MODE and enters WAL MODE when
the vehicle is driven above 15mph (24km/h).
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the TPM module can monitor the
state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The TPM module can automatically
learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 20 minutes continuously above 15 mph (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 TPM module can also learn the sensor's ID using the
TPM-RKE Analyzer, Special Tool 9936, with the Scan Tool following the procedure listed in the
appropriate diagnostic information.

1. Raise and support vehicle. See: Maintenance 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.
Retain this valve stem cap for reuse. 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.

8. Lower vehicle. 9. Perform one of the following to make the system learn the new sensor ID.
a. Use the TPM-RKE Analyzer, Special Tool 9936, with the Scan Tool to program the WIN with the
tire pressure sensor ID. This is part of the
TPM Diagnostic Verification Test, See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated
Procedures/Verification Tests/Vehicle Theft Security Verification Tests/Tire Pressure Monitor
(TPM) Verification Test.
b. Once the vehicle has remained stationary for more than 20 minutes, drive vehicle for a minimum
of 10 minutes while maintaining a continuous
speed above 15 mph (24 km/h). During this time, the system will learn the new sensor ID. This is
part of the TPM Diagnostic Verification Test, See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated
Procedures/Verification Tests/Vehicle Theft Security Verification Tests/Tire Pressure Monitor
(TPM) Verification Test.

Heated Glass Element Switch: Description and Operation Rear Defogger Switch - Operation
OPERATION
An amber indicator will illuminate when the rear window defogger switch is activated. When
activated, the switch sends a request signal to the totally integrated power module (TIPM) to
energize the internal EBL high side driver to provide battery current to the rear window defogger
grid lines and to the heated side view mirrors, when equipped.
NOTE: The EBL system turns off automatically after 10 minutes of initial operation. Each following
activation cycle of the EBL system will
last 5 minutes.
The EBL system will automatically turn off after an initial programmed time interval of about 10
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 5 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 is diagnosed using a scan tool See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Tests and Associated Procedures.
The rear window defogger switch and indicator cannot be adjusted or repaired. The A/C-heater
control must be replaced if the rear window defogger switch or indicator is inoperative or damaged
See: Heating and Air Conditioning/Control Assembly/Service and Repair/A/C and Heater Control Removal.

Power Window Switch: Testing and Inspection
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
For switch testing, remove the switch. See: Service and Repair/Power Window Switch - Removal.
Using an ohmmeter, refer to Window Switch Continuity Charts to determine if continuity is correct.
If the results are not obtained, replace the switch.
The master window switch has an Auto-Down feature. Actuation of the master switch to the second
down position will move the drivers side window completely down. The electronic switch will
automatically disconnect the motor approximately 1 second after the window bottoms out. Failure
of the electronic switch to detect stall current, will cause the switch to disconnect after
approximately 13 seconds. The auto down function can be canceled by any movement of that
switch.

Washer Fluid Level Switch: Description and Operation Washer Fluid Level Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The washer fluid level switch (3) is a two-pin conductivity sensor with no moving parts mounted on
the rearward facing side of the washer reservoir on the upper left corner of the cooling module on
the Front End Module (FEM). Only the molded plastic switch mounting flange and the integral
connector receptacle (4) are visible when the switch is installed in the reservoir.
A short nipple formation (1) extends from the inner surface of the switch mounting flange, and a
barb on the nipple is pressed through a rubber grommet seal installed in the mounting hole of the
reservoir. Two over-molded pins or electrodes (2) extend from the back of the nipple formation. The
switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of
the FEM wire harness.
The washer fluid level switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the switch
must be replaced.

Washer Fluid Level Switch: Description and Operation Washer Fluid Level Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The washer fluid level switch uses fluid conductivity to monitor the level of the washer fluid in the
washer reservoir. Electricity is conducted between the two switch pins or electrodes only when they
are immersed in the washer fluid, which closes the switch circuit. When the fluid level in the washer
reservoir falls below the pins, electrical current cannot be conducted and the switch becomes an
open circuit, which signals a low fluid condition.
In order to prevent an electrical charge from accumulating in the electrical leads of the switch, the
switch receives current that is pulsed from the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) located in
the engine compartment near the battery. The TIPM 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 request message to the ElectroMechanical 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 is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take
out and connector of the Front End Module (FEM) wire harness. The switch is connected in series
between a sensor return circuit and the washer fluid switch sense input to the TIPM.
The washer fluid level switch and the hard wired circuits between the switch and the TIPM 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 indicator or the electronic controls or communication between other modules
and devices that provide some features of the washer system. The most reliable, efficient, and
accurate means to diagnose the washer fluid level indicator 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.

Wiper Switch: Description and Operation Right Multifunction Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The right (wiper) multi-function switch is located on the right side of the steering column, just below
the steering wheel. This switch is the primary control for the front and rear wiper and washer
systems. The only visible components of the switch are the control stalk (1), control knob (2) and
control sleeve (3) that extend through the steering column shrouds on the right side of the column.
The remainder of the switch including its mounting provisions and electrical connection are
concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing and controls (6) 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. A single screw (7) through a mounting tab integral to the back of the
switch housing, and a slide tab integral to the bottom of the switch housing secure the switch to the
mounting bracket integral to the clockspring (3). A single connector receptacle containing seven
terminal pins is integral to the inboard end of the switch housing and is connected by a jumper wire
harness (5) directly to the Steering Control Module (SCM), which is internal to the housing (2) of
the left multi-function switch (1).
The right (wiper) multi-function switch provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the
following wiper and washer system functions:
- Continuous Front Wipers - The right multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching
for two continuous front wipe modes, low speed or high speed.
- Intermittent Front Wipers - The right multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching
for the intermittent front wipe mode with five minor detent delay interval positions.
- Front Wiper Mist Mode - The right multi-function switch control stalk includes momentary
switching of the front wiper motor low speed circuit to provide a mist mode features (sometimes
referred to as pulse wipe), which allows the vehicle operator to momentarily operate the front
wipers for one or more complete cycles.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Wiper and Washer Systems > Wiper Switch
> Component Information > Description and Operation > Right Multifunction Switch - Description > Page 1376
- Front Washer Mode - The right multi-function switch control stalk provides momentary switching
for control of the front washer system operation.
- Intermittent Rear Wipe Mode - The right multi-function switch control sleeve provides detent
switching for a single fixed interval intermittent rear wiper mode.
- Rear Washer Mode - The right multi-function switch control sleeve provides one momentary
switch positions for control of rear washer system operation.
The right 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 unit must be replaced. The clockspring
(with the multi-function switch mounting bracket), the left multi-function switch (with the SCM), the
right multi-function switch and the jumper wire harness are each available for separate service
replacement.

Wiper Switch: Description and Operation Right Multifunction Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The right (wiper) multi-function switch uses a combination of resistor multiplexing and conventional
analog switching to control the many functions and features it provides. The switch receives a
clean ground from the Steering Control Module (SCM), then provides resistor multiplexed and
conventional analog return outputs to the SCM to indicate the selected switch positions. The SCM
then sends electronic switch status messages over a Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN),
and the EMIC relays electronic wiper and washer switch request messages over the Controller
Area Network (CAN) data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
If the SCM detects no inputs from the right multi-function switch, it transmits an electronic Signal
Not Available (SNA) status message over the LIN data bus. The SNA status signals the EMIC to
request other electronic modules to implement a failsafe mode of operation for the front and rear
wiper systems. The failsafe mode will maintain the last selected front and rear wiper system
operation for the remainder of the current ignition cycle, after which both wiper systems will default
to OFF.
The right 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. However, the most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose this component
requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
Following are descriptions of how the right multi-function switch is operated to control the many
front and rear wiper and washer system functions and features it provides:
- Front Wiper Control - The control knob on the end of the right multi-function switch control stalk is
rotated to one of the two continuous wiper detents, to one of five intermittent wiper detents, or to
the OFF position to select the front wiper mode. The SCM reads the input from the right
multi-function switch and sends electronic wiper switch status messages over the LIN data bus to
the EMIC, which relays an electronic wiper switch request message over the CAN data bus to other
electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Front Wiper Mist Mode - The front wiper mist mode is requested when the right multi-function
switch control stalk is depressed downward towards the floor to a momentary MIST position. The
front wiper motor will continue to operate, one complete cycle at a time, for as long as the control
stalk is held in this position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the right
multi-function switch and sends an electronic wiper switch status message over the LIN data bus to
the EMIC, which relays an electronic wiper switch request message over the CAN data bus to other
electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Front Washer Control - The right multi-function switch control stalk is pulled rearward towards the
steering wheel to a momentary WASH position to activate the washer pump/motor in the front
washer mode. The washer pump/motor will continue to operate for as long as the control stalk is
held in this position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the right multi-function
switch and sends an electronic washer switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC,
which relays an electronic washer switch request message over the CAN data bus to other
electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Rear Wiper Control - The rear wiper mode is selected when the right multi-function switch control
sleeve is rotated to the fixed interval intermittent rear wipe detent position, or the OFF detent
position. The SCM reads the input from the right multi-function switch and sends an electronic
wiper switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic wiper
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Rear Washer Control - The right multi-function switch control sleeve is rotated to one of two
momentary WASH positions, either fully forward or fully rearward, to activate the washer
pump/motor in the rear washer mode. The washer pump/motor will continue to operate in the rear
washer mode until the control sleeve is released. The SCM reads the input from the right
multi-function switch and sends an electronic washer switch status message over the LIN data bus
to the EMIC, which relays an electronic washer switch request message over the CAN data bus to
other electronic modules in the vehicle.

Alignment: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
Vehicle wheel alignment is the positioning of all interrelated front and rear suspension angles.
These angles affect the handling and steering of the vehicle when it is in motion. Proper wheel
alignment is essential for efficient steering, good directional stability, and proper tire wear.
The method of checking a vehicle's front and rear wheel alignment varies depending on the
manufacturer and type of equipment used. The manufacturer's instructions should always be
followed to ensure accuracy of the alignment, except when Chrysler Corporation's wheel alignment
specifications differ.
On this vehicle, the suspension angles that can be adjusted are as follows:
Front
- Camber (with cradle shift or service adjustment bolt package)
- Caster (limited adjustment with cradle shift)
- Toe
Rear
- Toe
Check the wheel alignment and make all wheel alignment adjustments with the vehicle standing at
its proper curb height specification. Curb height is the normal riding height of the vehicle. It is
measured from a certain point on the vehicle to the ground or a designated area while the vehicle
is sitting on a flat, level surface. Refer to Curb Height Measurement for additional information. See:
Service and Repair/Curb Height Measurement
Typical wheel alignment angles and measurements are described in the following paragraphs.
CAMBER
Camber is the inward or outward tilt of the top of the tire and wheel assembly. Inward tilt (2) is
known as negative camber. Outward tilt (1) is known as
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 1390
positive camber. Camber is measured in degrees of angle relative to a true vertical line. Camber is
a tire wearing angle.
- Excessive negative camber will cause tread wear at the inside of the tire.
- Excessive positive camber will cause tread wear on the outside of the tire.
CROSS CAMBER
Cross camber is the difference between left and right camber. To achieve the cross camber
reading, subtract the right side camber reading from the left. For example, if the left camber is -0.7°
and the right camber is -0.5°, the cross camber would be -0.2° (-0.7 - (-0.5) = -0.7 + 0.5 = -0.2).
CASTER
Caster is the forward or rearward tilt of the steering knuckle in reference to the position of the upper
and lower ball joints. Caster is measured in degrees of angle relative to a true vertical center line.
This line is viewed from the side of the tire and wheel assembly.
- Forward tilt (upper ball joint ahead of lower) results in a negative caster angle.
- Rearward tilt (upper ball joint trailing lower) results in a positive caster angle.
Although caster does not affect tire wear, a caster imbalance between the two front wheels may
cause the vehicle to lead to the side with the least positive caster.
CROSS CASTER
Cross caster is the difference between left and right caster. To achieve the cross caster reading,
subtract the right side caster reading from the left. For example, if the left caster is 2.5° and the
right caster is 2.7°, the cross caster would be -0.2° (2.5 - 2.7 = -0.2).
TOE
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 1391
Toe is the inward or outward angle of the wheels as viewed from above the vehicle.
- Toe-in (1) is produced when the front edges of the wheels on the same axle are closer together
than the rear edges.
- Toe-out (2) is produced when the front edges of the wheels on the same axle are farther apart
than the rear edges.
Toe-in and toe-out can occur at the front wheels and the rear wheels.
Toe is measured in degrees or inches. The measurement identifies the amount that the front of the
wheels point inward (toe-in) or outward (toe-out). Toe is measured at the spindle height. Zero toe
means the front and rear edges of the wheels on the same axle are equal distant.
TOE-OUT ON TURNS
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 1392
Toe-out on turns (1), sometimes referred to as Ackerman Steering, is the relative positioning of the
front wheels while steering through a turn. This compensates for each front wheel's turning radius.
As the vehicle encounters a turn, the outboard wheel must travel in a larger radius circle than the
inboard wheel. The steering system is designed to make each wheel follow its particular radius
circle. To accomplish this, the front wheels must progressively toe outward as the steering is turned
from center. This eliminates tire scrubbing and undue tire wear when steering a vehicle through a
turn.
DYNAMIC TOE PATTERN
Dynamic toe pattern is the inward and outward toe movement of the front and rear tires through the
suspension's jounce and rebound travel. As the vehicle's suspension moves up and down, the toe
pattern varies. Toe pattern is critical in controlling the directional stability of the vehicle while in
motion. Front and rear dynamic toe pattern is preset by the factory at the time the vehicle is
assembled.
It is not necessary to check or adjust front or rear dynamic toe pattern when doing a normal wheel
alignment. The only time dynamic toe pattern needs to be checked or adjusted is if the frame of the
vehicle has been damaged.
STEERING AXIS INCLINATION (S.A.I.)
Steering axis inclination (1) is the angle between a true vertical line starting at the center of the tire
at the road contact point and a line drawn through the center of the upper ball joint (or strut) and
the lower ball joint. S.A.I. is built into the vehicle and is not an adjustable angle. If S.A.I. is not
within specifications, a bent or damaged suspension component may be the cause.
INCLUDED ANGLE (I.A.)
Included angle (3) is the sum of the S.A.I. angle (1) plus or minus the camber angle (2), depending
on whether or not the wheel has positive or negative camber. If camber is positive, add the camber
angle to the S.A.I angle. If camber is negative, subtract the camber angle from the S.A.I. angle.
Included angle is not adjustable, but can be used to diagnose a frame misalignment or bent
suspension component (spindle, strut).
THRUST ANGLE
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 1393
Thrust angle is the averaged direction the rear wheels are pointing in relation to the vehicle's center
line. The presence of negative or positive thrust angle causes the rear tires to track improperly to
the left or right of the front tires (dog tracking).
- Negative thrust angle means the rear tires are tracking to the left of the front tires.
- Positive thrust angle means the rear tires are tracking to the right of the front tires.
Improper tracking can cause undue tire wear, a lead or pull and a crooked steering wheel.
Excessive thrust angle can usually be corrected by adjusting the rear wheel toe so that each wheel
has one-half of the total toe measurement.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT
PRE-WHEEL ALIGNMENT INSPECTION
Before any attempt is made to change or correct the wheel alignment, the following inspection and
necessary corrections must be made to the vehicle to ensure proper alignment.
1. Verify the fuel tank is full of fuel. If the fuel tank is not full, the reduction in weight will affect the
curb height of the vehicle and the alignment
specifications.
2. The passenger and luggage compartments of the vehicle should be free of any load that is not
factory equipment. 3. Check the tires on the vehicle. The tires are to be inflated to the
recommended air pressure. All tires must be the same size and in good condition
with approximately the same tread wear.
4. Check the front tire and wheel assemblies for excessive radial runout. 5. Inspect all suspension
component fasteners for looseness and proper torque. 6. Inspect the lower front ball joints and all
steering linkage for looseness and any sign of wear or damage. 7. Inspect the rubber bushings on
all the suspension components for signs of wear or deterioration. If any bushings show signs of
wear or
deterioration, they should be replaced prior to aligning the vehicle.
8. Check vehicle curb height to verify it is within specifications. See:
WHEEL ALIGNMENT SETUP
1. Position the vehicle on an alignment rack. 2. Install all required alignment equipment on the
vehicle, per the alignment equipment manufacturer's instructions. On this vehicle, a four-wheel
alignment is recommended.
NOTE: Prior to reading the vehicle's alignment readouts, the front and rear of vehicle should be
jounced. Induce jounce (rear first, then
front) by grasping the center of the bumper and jouncing each end of vehicle an equal number of
times. The bumper should always be released when vehicle is at the bottom of the jounce cycle.
3. Read the vehicle's current front and rear alignment settings. Compare the vehicle's current
alignment settings to the vehicle specifications for
camber, caster and toe-in. See: Specifications/Wheel Alignment Specifications
REAR CAMBER
Rear camber settings on this vehicle are determined at the time the vehicle is designed, by the
location of the vehicle's suspension components. This is referred to as Net Build. The result is no
required adjustment of camber after the vehicle is built or when servicing the suspension
components. Thus, when performing a wheel alignment, rear camber is not considered an
adjustable angle.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to adjust the vehicle's wheel alignment by heating or bending any of the
suspension components.
FRONT CAMBER AND CASTER
Front camber and caster settings on this vehicle are determined at the time the vehicle is designed,
by the location of the vehicle's suspension components. This is referred to as Net Build. The result
is no required adjustment of camber and caster after the vehicle is built or when servicing the
suspension components. Thus, when performing a wheel alignment, caster and camber are not
normally considered adjustable angles but some adjustment can be made. Camber and caster
should be checked to ensure they meet vehicle specifications. See: Specifications/Wheel
Alignment Specifications
If individual front camber or caster is found not to meet alignment specifications, each can be
adjusted by shifting the front crossmember or by using an available service adjustment bolt
package. If an adjustment bolt package installation is necessary, inspect the suspension
components for any signs of damage or bending first.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to adjust the vehicle's wheel alignment by heating or bending any of the
suspension components.
ADJUSTMENT BY SHIFTING CROSSMEMBER
CAUTION: Always use care when shifting crossmember to avoid damaging other components on
the vehicle.
1. Loosen the four bolts fastening the front crossmember to the frame just enough to allow

Alignment: Service and Repair Curb Height Measurement
CURB HEIGHT MEASUREMENT
The wheel alignment is to be checked and all alignment adjustments made with the vehicle at its
required curb height specification.
Vehicle height is to be checked with the vehicle on a flat, level surface, preferably a vehicle
alignment rack. The tires are to be inflated to the recommended pressure. All tires are to be the
same size as standard equipment. Vehicle height is checked with the fuel tank full of fuel, and no
passenger or luggage compartment load.
Vehicle height is not adjustable. If the measurement is not within specifications, inspect the vehicle
for bent or weak suspension components. Compare the parts tag on the suspect coil spring(s) to
the parts book and the vehicle sales code, checking for a match. Once removed from the vehicle,
compare the coil spring height to a correct new or known good coil spring. The heights should vary
if the suspect spring is weak.
NOTE: Prior to reading the curb height measurement, the front and rear of the vehicle must be
jounced to settle the suspension. Induce jounce by pushing down on the center of the bumper
(fascia), using care not to damage the vehicle, moving the vehicle up and down, gradually
increasing the suspension travel with each stroke. Release the bumper at the bottom of each
stroke, repeating this action several times. Perform this to both front and rear suspensions an equal
amount of times.
Measure curb height as follows:
1. Jounce the vehicle. Refer to above note.
NOTE: On some vehicles it may be necessary to remove an engine belly pan in order to gain
access to the lower control arm pivot bolt.
2. Front - On each side of the vehicle, measure the distance 2 from the flat surface behind the PLP
hole 1 to the floor or alignment rack/lift

runway surface. It may be necessary to measure to the bottom of a straight edge 3, placed from lift
runway to runway, to get an accurate measurement.
3. Rear - On each side of the vehicle, measure the distance 2 from the flat surface below the rear
toe adjustment cam bolt 1 to the floor or
alignment rack/lift runway surface. It may be necessary to measure to the bottom of a straight edge
3, placed from lift runway to runway, to get an accurate measurement.
4. Compare the measurements to specifications listed in the following CURB HEIGHT
SPECIFICATIONS chart. Maximum left-to-right
differential is not to exceed 12.5 mm (0.5 in.).
5. If curb height is found to be out of specification and there is no sign of excessive body damage,
curb height can be changed by replacing the
applicable spring with a spring offering a different check load.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
CYLINDER COMPRESSION PRESSURE TEST
The results of a cylinder compression pressure test can be utilized to diagnose several engine
malfunctions.
Ensure the battery is completely charged and the engine starter motor is in good operating
condition. Otherwise the indicated compression pressures may not be valid for diagnosis purposes.
1. Check engine oil level and add oil if necessary. 2. Drive the vehicle until engine reaches normal
operating temperature. Select a route free from traffic and other forms of congestion, observe all
traffic laws, and accelerate through the gears several times briskly.
3. Remove all spark plugs from engine. As spark plugs are being removed, check electrodes for
abnormal firing indicators such as fouled, hot, oily,
etc. Record cylinder number of spark plug for future reference.
4. Remove the Auto Shutdown (ASD) relay from the TIPM. 5. Install a suitable compression test
gauge into the number 1 spark plug hole in cylinder head. 6. Crank engine until maximum pressure
is reached on gauge. Record this pressure as #1 cylinder pressure. 7. Repeat the previous step for
all remaining cylinders. 8. Compression should not be less than 689 kPa (100 psi) and not vary
more than 25 percent from cylinder to cylinder. 9. If one or more cylinders have abnormally low
compression pressures, repeat the compression test.
10. If the same cylinder or cylinders repeat an abnormally low reading on the second compression
test, it could indicate the existence of a problem in
the cylinder in question. The recommended compression pressures are to be used only as a guide
to diagnosing engine problems. An engine should not be disassembled to determine the cause of
low compression unless some malfunction is present.

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: Description and Operation
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(R) Brake Fluid or 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. Swelling indicates 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 the fluid
separates into layers, there is mineral oil or other fluid contamination of the brake fluid.
If the brake fluid is contaminated, drain and thoroughly flush the brake system. Replace all the
rubber parts or components containing rubber coming into contact with the brake fluid including:
the master cylinder and reservoir; proportioning valves (non-ABS); caliper seals; wheel cylinder
seals; ABS hydraulic control unit; and all hydraulic fluid hoses.

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL CHECKING
NOTE: Brake fluid level should be checked a minimum of twice a year.
Master cylinder reservoirs are marked, FULL and ADD, indicating the allowable brake fluid level
range in the master cylinder fluid reservoir.
CAUTION: Use only Mopar(R) Brake Fluid DOT 3 Motor Vehicle or equivalent from a tightly sealed
container. Do not use petroleum-based
fluid because seal damage in the brake system will result. See: Specifications
NOTE: Although there is a range, the preferred level is FULL.
1. Remove the cap. 2. Adjust the brake fluid level to the FULL mark listed on the side of the master
cylinder fluid reservoir as necessary. Do not overfill the system. 3. Install the cap.

ENGINE COOLANT
GAS ENGINES
WARNING: Antifreeze is an ethylene glycol based 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 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 boiling 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 requires special corrosion
protection. Mopar(R) Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769), or the
equivalent ethylene glycol based coolant with hybrid 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.
The green coolant MUST NOT BE MIXED with the orange or magenta coolants. When replacing
coolant the complete system flush must be performed before using the replacement coolant.
CAUTION: Mopar(R) Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769) may not be
mixed with any other type of antifreeze. Doing
so will reduce the corrosion protection and may result in premature water pump seal failure. If
non-HOAT coolant is introduced into the cooling system in an emergency, it should be replaced
with the specified coolant as soon as possible.

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

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/MANUAL TRANSAXLE FLUID
NOTE: All transaxles have a common transmission and differential sump. Filling the transaxle
accommodates the differential as well.
Mopar (R) ATF+4 (Automatic Transmission Fluid) is required in the automatic and T355/BG6
manual transaxles. Substitute fluids can induce torque converter clutch shudder, or premature
geartrain 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.
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.

Fluid - A/T: Service and Repair Fluid Level and Condition Check
FLUID LEVEL AND CONDITION CHECK
FLUID LEVEL CHECK USING THE SCAN TOOL
1. Verify that the vehicle is parked on a level surface. 2. Remove the dipstick tube cap.
WARNING: There is a risk of accident from vehicle starting off by itself when engine is running.
There is a risk of injury from contusions and
burns if you insert your hands into the engine when it is started 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.
3. Actuate the service brake. Start engine and let it run at idle speed in selector lever position "P".
4. Shift through the transmission modes several times with the vehicle stationary and the engine
idling.
NOTE: When inserting dipstick special tool 9336A, excess insertion force may cause the dipstick to
slip past the stop on the bracket in the
transmission oil pan. An approximate distance that the dipstick should be inserted into the fill tube
is 424 mm (16.69 in.).
5. Warm up the transmission, wait at least 2 minutes and check the oil level with the engine
running. Push the Oil Dipstick 9336A into transmission
fill tube until the dipstick tip contacts the oil pan and pull out again, read off oil level, repeat if
necessary.
NOTE: The dipstick will protrude from the fill tube when installed.
6. Check transmission oil temperature using the appropriate scan tool. 7. The transmission Oil
Dipstick 9336A has indicator marks every 10 mm. Determine the height of the oil level on the
dipstick and using the height,
the Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) as viewed with the scan too, and the Transmission Fluid
Graph, determine if the transmission oil level

8. Add or remove oil as necessary and recheck the oil level. 9. Once the oil level is correct, install
the dipstick tube cap.
FLUID CONDITION
Along with fluid level, it is important to check the condition of the fluid. When the fluid smells
burned, and is contaminated with metal or friction material particles, a complete transaxle
recondition is probably required. Be sure to examine the fluid on the dipstick closely. If there is any
doubt about its condition, drain out a sample for a double check.
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.
After the fluid has been checked, seat the dipstick fully to seal out water and dirt.

FLUID AND FILTER SERVICE
FLUID/FILTER SERVICE (RECOMMENDED)
NOTE: Refer to the maintenance schedules in LUBRICATION and MAINTENANCE for the
recommended maintenance (fluid/filter change)
intervals for this transaxle.
NOTE: Only fluids of the type labeled MOPAR(R) ATF+4 should be used. A filter change should be
made at the time of the transmission oil
change. The magnet (on the inside of the oil pan) should also be cleaned with a clean, dry cloth.
NOTE: If the transaxle is disassembled for any reason, the fluid and filter should be changed.
1. Raise vehicle on a hoist. Refer to LUBRICATION and MAINTENANCE for proper procedures.
Place a drain container with a large opening,
under transaxle oil pan.
2. Loosen pan bolts and tap the pan at one corner to break it loose allowing fluid to drain, then
remove the oil pan. 3. Remove nuts at the oil filter. 4. Install a new filter and nuts, tighten to 5 Nm
(40 in. lbs.). 5. Install the fluid filter oil pan, use a bead of MOPAR(R) ATF RTV (MS-GF41). 6.
Clean the oil pan and magnet. Reinstall pan using new MOPAR(R) Silicone Adhesive sealant.
Tighten oil pan bolts to 6 Nm (50 in. lbs.). 7. Pour four Quarts of MOPAR(R) ATF+4 through the
dipstick opening. 8. Start engine and allow to idle for at least one minute. Then, with parking and
service brakes applied, move selector lever momentarily to each
position, ending in the park or neutral position.
9. Check the transaxle fluid level and add an appropriate amount to bring the transaxle fluid level to
3 mm (1/8 in.) below the lowest mark on the
dipstick.
10. Recheck the fluid level after the transaxle has reached normal operating temperature 82° C
(180°F). Refer to Fluid Level and Condition Check for
the proper fluid fill procedure See: Transmission and Drivetrain/Automatic
Transmission/Transaxle/Service and Repair/Procedures/Fluid Level and Condition Check.
11. To prevent dirt from entering transaxle, make certain that dipstick is fully seated into the
dipstick opening.

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 recommends that only Mopar(R) brand parts, lubricants and
chemicals be used. Mopar(R) provides the best engineered products for servicing Chrysler
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 CERTIFICATION AND LICENSE SYMBOL
Use an engine oil that is API Certified and Licensed to display the certification mark. MOPAR(R)
provides engine oils that meet or exceed, Material Standard MS-6395 requirement.
SAE VISCOSITY
Engine oils are designed to improve low temperature starting and vehicle fuel economy. Refer to
the engine oil filler cap for the preferred engine oil viscosity grade for each vehicle. SAE viscosity
grades are used to specify the correct viscosity oil for an engine. Use only Multi-Viscosity oils.
These are specified with a dual SAE viscosity grade which indicates the cold (5W) to hot (20, 30)
temperature performance range of the oil.
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.
CONTAINER IDENTIFICATION
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fluids > Engine Oil > Component Information > Specifications > Page 1629
The Engine Oil Certification Mark was developed and trademarked by the API to refer customers to
those engine oils preferred by the automobile manufacturers. This symbol means that the oil has
been certified and licensed by the American Petroleum Institute (API). This certification mark will
only be found on the front of the oil containers. Those oils that do not display the "Mark" on the
front of the container should not be used.
Chrysler only recommends API Certified engine oils that meet the requirements of Material
Standard MS-6395. Use Mopar or an equivalent oil meeting the specification MS-6395.
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 are certified by the American Petroleum
Institute (API) to display the "Certification Mark" and show SAE viscosity grade recommended for
each vehicle. 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 and emission systems by:
- Increasing the level of Phosphorus and Sulfur in the engine oil. The API Certified Engine Oils
control the Phosphorus and Sulfur contents of the oil to levels that reduce the contamination effect
on the vehicles emission control system.
- 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.
The engine oils contain a performance additive system carefully developed to optimize the oils
performance in the engine. The addition of supplements may cause the oil to thicken prematurely,
cause excessive deposit build-up and potentially shorten engine life.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level
reading. Remove dipstick (1), and observe oil level. Add oil only when the level is at or below the
SAFE mark. If the oil level is in the safe (2) range, do not add oil.
CAUTION: Do not operate engine if the oil level is above the MAX mark on the dipstick. Excessive
oil volume can cause oil aeration which can
lead to engine failure due to loss of oil pressure or increase in oil temperature.

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
The recommended fluid for the power steering system is Mopar(R) Power Steering fluid + 4 or
Mopar(R) ATF+4 Automatic Transmission Fluid. Both Fluids have the same material standard
specifications (MS-9602).
Mopar(R) ATF+4 (and Mopar(R) Power Steering fluid + 4), when new, is red in color. ATF+4 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, ATF+4 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.
The power steering system is filled-for-life at the factory and requires no regular maintenance.
Although not required at specific intervals, the fluid level may be checked periodically. Check the
fluid level anytime there is a system noise or fluid leak suspected. See: Steering and
Suspension/Steering/Service and Repair/Power Steering Fluid Level Checking

Power Steering Fluid: Service and Repair
POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL CHECKING
WARNING: Fluid level should be checked with the engine OFF to prevent personal injury from
moving parts and to assure an accurate fluid
level reading.
CAUTION: Mopar(R) Power Steering Fluid + 4 or Mopar(R) ATF+4 Automatic Transmission Fluid is
to be used in the power steering system.
Both fluids have the same material standard specifications (MS-9602). No other power steering or
automatic transmission fluid is to be used in the system. Damage may result to the power steering
pump and system if another fluid is used. Do not overfill the system.
NOTE: Although not required at specific intervals, the fluid level may be checked periodically.
Check the fluid level anytime there is a system
noise or fluid leak suspected.
The power steering fluid level can be viewed through the side of the power steering fluid reservoir.
Compare the fluid level to the markings on the side of the reservoir. 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 MAX. and MIN. markings. When the fluid is hot, fluid level is allowed to read up to the
MAX. line.

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.

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 poly alkylene 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: Refer to the applicable warnings and cautions for this system before performing the
following operation 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.
NOTE: If equipped with the rear heating-A/C system, use a heat gun to heat the underbody lines to
help remove any trapped refrigerant from
the rear A/C system.
When servicing the A/C system, a 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.). Refer to 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
CAUTION: Do NOT run the engine with a vacuum pump in operation or with a vacuum present
within the A/C system. Failure to follow this
caution will result in serious A/C compressor damage.
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 A/C compressor.
If an A/C 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. With the engine OFF, 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. Do not operate the engine with a vacuum on the A/C system.
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 to the lowest degree of vacuum
possible (approximately -88 kPa (- 26 in. Hg) 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.

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.
NOTE: The Underhood HVAC Specification Label contains the refrigerant fill specification of the
vehicle being serviced.
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/Specifications/Capacity Specifications.
When charging the A/C system, a R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging station that meets
SAE standard J2788 must be used (1). Per SAE standard J2788, refrigerant recovery stations must
charge the system to an accuracy of 14 grams (0.5 oz.). Refer to the operating instructions
supplied by the equipment manufacturer for proper care and use of this equipment.
CHARGING PROCEDURE
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.
1. Evacuate the refrigerant system See: Heating and Air Conditioning/Service and
Repair/Refrigerant System Evacuate. 2. Connect a manifold gauge set or 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 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 engaged 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 engage, test the compressor clutch control circuit 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. 9. Reinstall the caps onto the refrigerant system service ports.

DESCRIPTION
The refrigerant oil used in R-134a refrigerant systems is a synthetic-based, poly alkylene glycol
(PAG), wax-free lubricant. Mineral-based R-12 refrigerant oils are not compatible with PAG oils and
should never be introduced to an R-134a refrigerant system.
There are different PAG oils available and each contain a different additive package. Always use
only the type of refrigerant oil recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
CAUTION: Be certain to adjust the refrigerant system oil level when replacing an A/C compressor
See: Heating and Air Conditioning/Service
and Repair/Refrigerant Oil Level . Failure to properly adjust the refrigerant oil level can prevent the
A/C system from operating as designed and can cause serious A/C compressor damage.
The A/C compressors used in this vehicle is designed to use ND-8 PAG refrigerant oil. Use only
this type of refrigerant oil in the refrigerant system.

OPERATION
After performing any refrigerant recovery or recycling operation, always replenish the refrigerant
system with the same amount of the recommended refrigerant oil as was removed. Too little
refrigerant oil can cause 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.

Refrigerant Oil: Service and Repair
REFRIGERANT OIL LEVEL
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: Be certain to adjust the refrigerant system oil level when replacing an A/C compressor.
Drain the refrigerant oil from the A/C
compressor using the procedures described below. Failure to properly drain the refrigerant oil from
the A/C compressor can prevent the A/C system from operating as designed and cause serious
compressor damage.
CAUTION: ND-8 PAG refrigerant oil is used in the A/C system. Only refrigerant oil of the same type
should be used to service this R-134a
A/C system. Do not use any other refrigerant oil. The refrigerant oil container should be kept tightly
capped until it is ready for use and then tightly capped after use to prevent contamination from
moisture and dirt. Refrigerant oil will quickly absorb any moisture it comes in contact with,
therefore, special effort must be used to keep all R-134a system components moisture-free.
Moisture in the 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 amount of refrigerant oil being removed
during the recovery process. This
amount of refrigerant oil should always be added back into the refrigerant system. Refer to the
reclaim/recycling equipment manufacturers instructions.
It will not be necessary to check the oil level within the A/C refrigerant system or to add oil, unless
there has been an oil loss. A refrigerant oil loss may occur due to component replacement or a
rupture or leak from a refrigerant line, connector fitting, component or component seal. If a leak
does occurs, add 30 milliliters (1 fluid ounce) of the recommended 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 receiver/drier, A/C evaporator or A/C condenser is
replaced. Refer to the Refrigerant Oil Capacities charts.
The refrigerant oil level in a new A/C compressor must first be adjusted prior to compressor
installation. Refer to the following COMPRESSOR OIL DRAIN PROCEDURE.
REFRIGERANT OIL CAPACITIES
COMPRESSOR OIL DRAIN PROCEDURE - DENSO 6SEU16 VARIABLE DISPLACEMENT
CAUTION: Be certain to adjust the refrigerant system oil level when replacing an A/C compressor.
The refrigerant oil in the Denso 6SEU16
A/C compressor can only be drained using the procedure described below. Failure to properly drain
the refrigerant oil from the A/C compressor can prevent the A/C system from operating as designed
and cause serious compressor damage.
If the Denso 6SEU16 A/C compressor is being replaced, some refrigerant oil must first be drained
from the replacement A/C compressor. The 6SEU16 A/C compressor is filled with 100 milliliters
(3.4 oz.) from the factory. Drain 50 milliliters (1.7 oz.) of refrigerant oil from the replacement
6SEU16 compressor. Use the following procedure to drain and measure refrigerant oil from the
Denso 6SEU16 A/C compressor.

1. Place the replacement A/C compressor (2) on a workbench and remove the drain plug (1).
CAUTION: The 6SEU16 A/C compressor is filled with 100 milliliters (3.4 oz.) from the factory. Drain
50 milliliters (1.7 oz.) of refrigerant oil
from the new 6SEU16 compressor when replacing only the compressor.
NOTE: When replacing multiple A/C system components, see the Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart
to determine how much oil should be
removed from the replacement A/C compressor (example: new 6SEU16 compressor and
receiver/drier requires 80 ml. (2.7 oz.) of oil to be added to the system. 100 ml. (3.4 oz.) of oil is in
replacement compressor. 100 ml. (3.4 oz.) minus 80 ml. (2.7 oz.) equals 20 ml. (0.7 oz.) oil to be
drained from replacement compressor).
2. Position the replacement A/C compressor so that the refrigerant oil can drain out of the drain
port into a suitable clean measured container. Hold
the replacement A/C compressor in this position until the required amount of refrigerant oil is
drained from the compressor.
CAUTION: Failure to properly adjust the refrigerant oil level prior to installation of a replacement
compressor can prevent the A/C system
from operating as designed and cause serious compressor damage.
3. Reinstall the drain plug. Tighten the drain plug securely. 4. Install the replacement A/C
compressor onto the engine See: Heating and Air Conditioning/Compressor HVAC/Service and

The Denso 10SR15 and 10SR17 A/C compressors are filled with refrigerant oil from the factory.
Use the following procedure to drain and measure refrigerant oil from the Denso 10SR15 and
10SR17 A/C compressors.
1. Position the original A/C compressor so that the refrigerant oil can drain out of the suction and
discharge ports into a suitable clean measured
container. Hold the original A/C compressor in this position until all of the refrigerant oil is drained
from the compressor.
2. Drain all of the refrigerant oil from the replacement A/C compressor into a clean measured
container. 3. Refill the replacement A/C compressor with the same amount of refrigerant oil that
was drained out of the original compressor. Use only clean
refrigerant oil of the type recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
CAUTION: Failure to properly adjust the refrigerant oil level prior to installation of a replacement
compressor can prevent the A/C system
from operating as designed and cause serious compressor damage.

NOTE: This bleeding procedure is only for the vehicle's base brakes hydraulic system. For
bleeding the antilock brakes hydraulic system, See:
CAUTION: Before removing the master cylinder reservoir cap, thoroughly clean the cap and master
cylinder fluid reservoir to prevent dirt
and other foreign matter from dropping into the master cylinder fluid reservoir.
NOTE: The following wheel sequence should be used when bleeding the brake hydraulic system.
The use of this wheel sequence will ensure
adequate removal of all trapped air from the brake hydraulic system.
- Left Rear Wheel
- Right Front Wheel
- Right Rear Wheel
- Left Front Wheel
NOTE: When bleeding the brake system, some air may be trapped in the brake lines far upstream,
as much as ten feet from the bleeder screw.
Therefore, it is essential to have a fast flow of a large volume of brake fluid when bleeding the
brakes to ensure all the air gets out.
Pressure bleeding the brakes is recommended, although the brakes may be manually bled or
pressure bled. Refer to the appropriate following procedure.
PRESSURE BLEEDING PROCEDURE
Follow the pressure bleeder manufacturer's instructions for use of the pressure bleeding
equipment.
1. Install Master Cylinder Pressure Bleed Cap, Special Tool 6921, or equivalent on the master
cylinder fluid reservoir. Attach the fluid hose from the
pressure bleeder to the fitting on Special Tool 6921.
2. Attach a clear plastic hose (1) to the bleeder screw and feed the hose into a clear jar (2)
containing enough fresh brake fluid to submerge the end of
the hose.
3. Open the bleeder screw at least one full turn or more to obtain a steady stream of brake fluid. 4.
After approximately 120-240 ml (4-8 ounces) of fluid have been bled through the brake circuit and
an air-free flow is maintained in the clear
plastic hose and jar, close the bleeder screw.
5. Repeat this procedure at all the remaining bleeder screws. 6. Check and adjust brake fluid level
to the FULL mark on the reservoir. 7. Check brake pedal travel and feel. If pedal travel is excessive
or if the pedal feels excessively spongy, some air may still be trapped in the system.
Re-bleed the brakes as necessary including the IPB Caliper Brake Bleeding Procedure on the rear
calipers as listed below.
8. Test drive the vehicle to verify the brakes are operating properly and pedal feel is correct.
MANUAL BLEEDING PROCEDURE
NOTE: To bleed the brakes manually, the aid of a helper will be required.

1. Attach a clear plastic hose (1) to the bleeder screw and feed the hose into a clear jar (2)
containing enough fresh brake fluid to submerge the end of
the hose.
2. Have a helper pump the brake pedal three or four times and hold it in the down position. 3. With
the pedal in the down position, open the bleeder screw at least one full turn. 4. Once the brake
pedal has dropped, close the bleeder screw. After the bleeder screw is closed, release the brake
pedal. 5. Repeat the above steps until all trapped air is removed from that wheel circuit (usually
four or five times).
6. Bleed the remaining wheel circuits in the same manner until all air is removed from the brake
system. Monitor the fluid level in the master cylinder
reservoir to make sure it does not go dry.
7. Check and adjust brake fluid level to the FULL mark. 8. Check brake pedal travel and feel. If
pedal travel is excessive or if the pedal feels excessively spongy, some air may still be trapped in
the system.
Re-bleed the brakes as necessary including the IPB Caliper Brake Bleeding Procedure on the rear
calipers as listed below.
9. Test drive the vehicle to verify the brakes are operating properly and pedal feel is correct.
IPB CALIPER BRAKE BLEEDING PROCEDURE

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Antilock Brake System Bleeding
ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM BLEEDING
The base brake's hydraulic system must be bled anytime air enters the hydraulic system. The ABS
must always be bled anytime it is suspected that the HCU has ingested air.
Brake systems with ABS must be bled as two independent braking systems. The non-ABS portion
of the brake system with ABS is to be bled the same as any non-ABS system.
The ABS portion of the brake system must be bled separately. Use the following procedure to
properly bleed the brake hydraulic system including the ABS.
NOTE: During the brake bleeding procedure, be sure the brake fluid level remains close to the
FULL level in the master cylinder fluid
reservoir. Check the fluid level periodically during the bleeding procedure and add Mopar(R) DOT 3
brake fluid as required.
BLEEDING
When bleeding the ABS system, the following bleeding sequence must be followed to insure
complete and adequate bleeding.
1. Make sure all hydraulic fluid lines are installed and properly torqued. 2. Connect the scan tool to
the diagnostics connector. The diagnostic connector is located under the lower steering column
cover to the left of the
steering column.
3. Using the scan tool, check to make sure the ABM does not have any fault codes stored. If it
does, clear them.
WARNING: When bleeding the brake system wear safety glasses. A clear bleed tube (1) must be
attached to the bleeder screws and submerged
in a clear container filled part way with clean brake fluid (2). Direct the flow of brake fluid away from
yourself and the painted surfaces of the vehicle. Brake fluid at high pressure may come out of the
bleeder screws when opened.
NOTE: Pressure bleeding is recommended to bleed the base brake system to ensure all air is
removed from system. Manual bleeding may also
be used, but additional time is needed to remove all air from system.
4. Bleed the base brake system. See: 5. Using the scan tool, select ECU VIEW, followed by ABS
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS to access bleeding. Follow the instructions
displayed. When finished, disconnect the scan tool and proceed.
6. Bleed the base brake system a second time. Check brake fluid level in the reservoir periodically
to prevent emptying, causing air to enter the
hydraulic system.
7. Fill the master cylinder fluid reservoir to the FULL level. 8. Test drive the vehicle to be sure the
brakes are operating correctly and that the brake pedal does not feel spongy.

DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) fuse that is disconnected within the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) when the vehicle is shipped from the factory. Dealer
personnel are to reconnect the IOD fuse in the TIPM as part of the preparation procedures
performed just prior to new vehicle delivery.

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, including the clock. 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 by
both vehicle transportation company and dealer personnel.
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 only another Fused B(+) circuit fuse. The IOD fuse serves no useful purpose to the
dealer technician in the service or diagnosis of any vehicle system or condition, other than the
same purpose as that of any other standard circuit protection device.
The IOD fuse can be used by the vehicle owner as a convenient means of reducing battery
depletion when a vehicle is to be stored for periods not to exceed about thirty days. However, it
must be remembered that 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.

REMOVAL
NOTE: When removing or installing the Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse, it is important that the ignition
switch be in the OFF position. Failure
to place the ignition switch in the OFF position can cause the radio display to become scrambled
when the IOD fuse is installed. Removing and installing the IOD fuse again with the ignition switch
in the OFF position will usually correct the scrambled radio display condition.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. 2. Remove the cover from the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM). 3. Pull on IOD fuse (J13) holder until it reaches the first detent.

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
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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse Block > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1722
- 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.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPM system
pressures have been established for the tire size equipped on the vehicle. Undesirable system
operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same
size, type, or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire
sealants or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with TPM, as damage to the sensors may
result.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. Use tire
pressure sensors in original style factory wheels
only. If aftermarket wheels are installed, and therefore do not contain tire pressure sensors, the
system will not function properly and the driver will be continuously notified of a system
malfunction.
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 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: Any time a sensor is to be installed in a wheel, it is necessary to install a new
sensor-to-wheel seal, metal washer and valve stem
nut, to ensure air tight sealing.
CAUTION: When installing the valve core, be sure to tighten the core to specifications See:
Wheels/Specifications . Overtightening by a little as
three or four inch pounds can damage the sensor.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensor Description
DESCRIPTION
On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM), one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel (5) 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 433 MHz radio frequency. The 433 MHz sensors (1) can be easily
identified by the part number.
CAUTION: Although additional sensors operating at 433 MHz sensors are available and are used
in other applications, they are not
interchangeable. Always make sure the correct sensor is being used and be sure to replace the
sensor with the correct part number.
NOTE: Once mounted inside a tire and wheel assembly you are not able to visually see the
difference between this sensor and other 315 MHz
and 433 MHz sensors. At that point, the TPM/RKE Analyzer 9936, with the Scan Tool may be used
to identify the sensor frequency or the tire can be dismounted allowing visual inspection of the
sensor body and part number.
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). Do not attempt to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. 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.

Page 1760
The serviceable components of the tire pressure sensor are:
- Sensor-To-Wheel Seal (2) and Metal Washer (1)
- Valve Stem Cap (4)
- Valve Stem Core
- Valve Stem Nut (with pressed-in washer) (3)
NOTE: Any time a sensor is installed on a wheel, a new Sensor-To-Wheel Seal (2), Metal Washer
(1) and Valve Stem Nut (3) must be installed
to ensure air tight sealing. A service kit is available.
The valve stem caps and cores 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 by using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer. Using a TPM-RKE
Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission from a sensor.
NOTE: The TPM-RKE Analyzer will not define the mode.
The TPM sensor can be in one of the following operating modes:
- OFF MODE - A new TPM sensor will be in this mode. In this mode the sensor does not transmit
periodically on its own. By forcing a transmission from the sensor with the TPM-RKE Analyzer, it
will change to the STATIONARY MODE. The sensor will also automatically change from OFF
mode to the STATIONARY MODE once it experiences a great increase in pressure (i.e. installation
into a wheel/tire assembly and then inflated).
- WAL MODE - This is the operating mode the sensor assumes when the vehicle is driven over
15mph (24km/h), but only after the vehicle was previously parked for a duration of 18 minutes or
greater. In WAL MODE the sensors transmit every 33 seconds and these transmissions contain
left/right information that allows the TPM Module to determine sensor location on the vehicle. WAL
MODE lasts for the first 10 minutes of consecutive driving, then NORMAL DRIVE mode ensues.
- FACTORY MODE- This is a special case of WAL MODE. If a TPM sensor has just been taken out
of OFF MODE, then for the first 3 minutes of the WAL period (10 minutes) the sensors transmit at
an accelerated rate of every 10 seconds. After the first 20 drives, then the sensors never again
transmit out of FACTORY MODE.
- NORMAL MODE - This is the operating mode the sensor assumes after the first 10 minutes of a
drive. In NORMAL MODE the sensors transmit every 66 seconds and cease transmitting left/right
information.
- SERVICE MODE- Once a vehicle stops, the sensors go into SERVICE MODE. After 18 minutes
of no driving then the sensors go into the STATIONARY MODE. If the vehicle was stopped for less
than 18 minutes and driving resumes, then the sensors go back to the NORMAL MODE.
- STATIONARY MODE - When a vehicle has been stopped for more then 18 minutes, then the
sensor is forced into STATIONARY MODE. In STATIONARY MODE the sensor never transmits
any pressure information. The sensor leaves STATIONARY MODE and enters WAL MODE when
the vehicle is driven above 15mph (24km/h).
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the TPM module can monitor the
state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The TPM module can automatically
learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 20 minutes continuously above 15 mph (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 TPM module can also learn the sensor's ID using the
TPM-RKE Analyzer, Special Tool 9936, with the Scan Tool following the procedure listed in the
appropriate diagnostic information.

REMOVAL
1. Raise and support vehicle. See: 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.
Retain this valve stem cap for reuse. 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.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPM system
pressures have been established for the tire size equipped on the vehicle. Undesirable system
operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same
size, type, or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire
sealants or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with TPM, as damage to the sensors may
result.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. Use tire
pressure sensors in original style factory wheels
only. If aftermarket wheels are installed, and therefore do not contain tire pressure sensors, the
system will not function properly and the driver will be continuously notified of a system
malfunction.
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 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: Any time a sensor is to be installed in a wheel, it is necessary to install a new
sensor-to-wheel seal, metal washer and valve stem
nut, to ensure air tight sealing.
CAUTION: When installing the valve core, be sure to tighten the core to specifications See:
Wheels/Specifications . Overtightening by a little as
three or four inch pounds can damage the sensor.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensor Description
DESCRIPTION
On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM), one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel (5) 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 433 MHz radio frequency. The 433 MHz sensors (1) can be easily
identified by the part number.
CAUTION: Although additional sensors operating at 433 MHz sensors are available and are used
in other applications, they are not
interchangeable. Always make sure the correct sensor is being used and be sure to replace the
sensor with the correct part number.
NOTE: Once mounted inside a tire and wheel assembly you are not able to visually see the
difference between this sensor and other 315 MHz
and 433 MHz sensors. At that point, the TPM/RKE Analyzer 9936, with the Scan Tool may be used
to identify the sensor frequency or the tire can be dismounted allowing visual inspection of the
sensor body and part number.
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). Do not attempt to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. 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.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tire Monitoring System > Tire Pressure Sensor >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensor - Description > Page 1774
The serviceable components of the tire pressure sensor are:
- Sensor-To-Wheel Seal (2) and Metal Washer (1)
- Valve Stem Cap (4)
- Valve Stem Core
- Valve Stem Nut (with pressed-in washer) (3)
NOTE: Any time a sensor is installed on a wheel, a new Sensor-To-Wheel Seal (2), Metal Washer
(1) and Valve Stem Nut (3) must be installed
to ensure air tight sealing. A service kit is available.
The valve stem caps and cores 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 by using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer. Using a TPM-RKE
Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission from a sensor.
NOTE: The TPM-RKE Analyzer will not define the mode.
The TPM sensor can be in one of the following operating modes:
- OFF MODE - A new TPM sensor will be in this mode. In this mode the sensor does not transmit
periodically on its own. By forcing a transmission from the sensor with the TPM-RKE Analyzer, it
will change to the STATIONARY MODE. The sensor will also automatically change from OFF
mode to the STATIONARY MODE once it experiences a great increase in pressure (i.e. installation
into a wheel/tire assembly and then inflated).
- WAL MODE - This is the operating mode the sensor assumes when the vehicle is driven over
15mph (24km/h), but only after the vehicle was previously parked for a duration of 18 minutes or
greater. In WAL MODE the sensors transmit every 33 seconds and these transmissions contain
left/right information that allows the TPM Module to determine sensor location on the vehicle. WAL
MODE lasts for the first 10 minutes of consecutive driving, then NORMAL DRIVE mode ensues.
- FACTORY MODE- This is a special case of WAL MODE. If a TPM sensor has just been taken out
of OFF MODE, then for the first 3 minutes of the WAL period (10 minutes) the sensors transmit at
an accelerated rate of every 10 seconds. After the first 20 drives, then the sensors never again
transmit out of FACTORY MODE.
- NORMAL MODE - This is the operating mode the sensor assumes after the first 10 minutes of a
drive. In NORMAL MODE the sensors transmit every 66 seconds and cease transmitting left/right
information.
- SERVICE MODE- Once a vehicle stops, the sensors go into SERVICE MODE. After 18 minutes
of no driving then the sensors go into the STATIONARY MODE. If the vehicle was stopped for less
than 18 minutes and driving resumes, then the sensors go back to the NORMAL MODE.
- STATIONARY MODE - When a vehicle has been stopped for more then 18 minutes, then the
sensor is forced into STATIONARY MODE. In STATIONARY MODE the sensor never transmits
any pressure information. The sensor leaves STATIONARY MODE and enters WAL MODE when
the vehicle is driven above 15mph (24km/h).
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the TPM module can monitor the
state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The TPM module can automatically
learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 20 minutes continuously above 15 mph (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 TPM module can also learn the sensor's ID using the
TPM-RKE Analyzer, Special Tool 9936, with the Scan Tool following the procedure listed in the
appropriate diagnostic information.

REMOVAL
1. Raise and support vehicle. See: 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.
Retain this valve stem cap for reuse. 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.

DISCUSSION: Tires used on the Journey models include nylon cap material as part of their
construction.
Tires that include Nylon can temporarily "flat spot" when vehicles are shipped by car hauler or rail
and if vehicles are stored for an extended period.
Immediately following delivery, some vehicles may exhibit a vibration / shake due to temporary tire
flat-spotting. The vibration may be felt in the steering wheel and / or seat, and may be most
noticeable at highway speeds, 60mph (96 kph). This may be misinterpreted as an out of balance
tire.
NOTE:
Do not attempt to rebalance the wheel/tire assembly until the vehicle has been driven for an
extended period (20 minutes or more) at highway speeds.
If the tires are flat-spotted, the vehicle vibration will go away after the tires are warmed up,
(normally 10 to 20 minutes of highway driving depending on outside temperatures). If highway
driving doesn't resolve the vehicle vibration, follow the procedures found in DealerCONNECT >
TechCONNECT > Group 22 - Tires and Wheels > Tire and Wheel Vibration.
Replacing tires should only be done as a last resort after all appropriate wheel and tire diagnostics
have been completed. U.S. dealers can contact the MOPAR tire program if assistance is needed
with obtaining any tire.

Tires: Description and Operation Tires
TIRE
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 application of brakes
- High-speed driving
- Taking turns at excessive speeds
- Striking curbs and other obstacles
- Operating vehicle with over or under inflated tire pressures
Radial ply tires are more prone to irregular tread wear. It is important to follow the tire rotation
interval on Tire Rotation. This will help to achieve a greater tread-life potential.
TIRE IDENTIFICATION
Tire type, size, load index and speed rating are encoded in the letters and numbers imprinted on
the side wall of the tire. Refer to the Tire Identification chart to decipher the code. For example
purposes, the tire size P225/60 R 16 97 T is used in the chart. An All Season type tire will also
have either M + S, M AND S, or M - S (indicating mud and snow traction) imprinted on the side
wall. An Extra or Light Load marking "XL" or "LL" may also be listed on the sidewall. The absence
of an "XL" or "LL" marking infers a standard load tire.

Export vehicles are equipped with the TIREFIT tire repair kit as standard equipment in place of a
spare tire. It is to be used to repair small punctures in the tire as necessary. A compact spare tire is
optional.
The compact spare tire is designed for emergency use only. The original tire should be repaired or
replaced at the first opportunity, then reinstalled. Do not exceed speeds of 80 km/h (50 mph) when
using the compact spare tire.

Tires: Description and Operation Replacement Tires
REPLACEMENT TIRES
WARNING: Failure to equip the vehicle with tires having adequate speed capability can result in
sudden tire failure.
WARNING: In order to maintain the speed capability of the vehicle, replacement tires must have
speed ratings equal to or higher than those
fitted to the vehicle as original equipment. If tires with lower speed ratings are fitted, the vehicle's
handling may be affected and the speed capability of the vehicle may be lowered to the maximum
speed capability of the replacement tires. To avoid an accident resulting in severe or fatal injury,
consult the tire manufacturer in regards to maximum speed ratings.
It is recommended that tires equivalent to the original equipment tires be used when replacement is
needed.
Failure to use equivalent replacement tires may adversely affect the safety and handling of the
vehicle.
The original equipment tires provide a proper combination of many characteristics such as:
- Ride
- Noise
- Handling
- Durability
- Tread life
- Traction
- Rolling resistance
- Speed capability
The use of tires smaller than the minimum tire size approved for the vehicle can result in tire
overloading and failure.
Use tires that have the approved load rating for the vehicle and never overload them. Failure to
equip the vehicle with tires having adequate speed capability can result in sudden tire failure and
loss of vehicle control.
The use of oversize tires may cause interference with vehicle components. Under extremes of
suspension and steering travel, interference with vehicle components may cause tire damage.

Tire Wear Patterns
Tires: Testing and Inspection Tire Wear Patterns
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.

Tires: Testing and Inspection Tread Wear Indicators
TREAD WEAR INDICATORS
Tread wear indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. When tread depth is 1.6
mm (1/16 in.), the tread wear indicators will appear as a 13 mm (1/2 in.) band (3).
Tire replacement is necessary when indicators appear in two or more grooves or if localized
balding occurs.

Cleaning
TIRE CLEANING
Before delivery of a vehicle, remove the protective coating on the tires with white sidewalls or
raised white letters. To remove the protective coating, apply warm water and let it soak for a few
minutes. Afterwards, scrub the coating away with a soft bristle brush. Steam cleaning may also be
used to remove the coating.
CAUTION: DO NOT use gasoline, mineral oil, oil-based solvent or a wire brush for cleaning.
Tire Inflation Pressures
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES
The specified tire pressures have been chosen to provide safe operation, vehicle stability, and a
smooth ride. The proper tire pressure specification can be found on the Tire And Loading
Information Label provided with the vehicle (usually on the driver's door opening (B-pillar) or rear
shutface of driver's door).
A quality air pressure gauge is recommended to check tire air pressure. Tire pressure should be
checked cold once per month. Check tire pressure more frequently when the weather temperature
varies widely. Tire pressure will decrease when the outdoor temperature drops. After checking the
air pressure, replace valve cap finger tight.
Inflation pressures specified on the Tire Inflation Pressure Label are always the cold inflation
pressure of the tire. Cold inflation pressure is obtained after the vehicle has not been operated for
at least 3 hours, or the vehicle is driven less than one mile after being inoperative for 3 hours. Tire
inflation pressures may increase from 2 to 6 pounds per square inch (psi) during operation. Do not
reduce this normal pressure buildup.
Improper inflation can cause:
- Uneven wear patterns
- Reduced tread life
- Reduced fuel economy
- Unsatisfactory ride
- The vehicle to drift.
WARNING: Over or Under inflated tires can affect vehicle handling. The tire can fail suddenly,
resulting in loss of vehicle control.
Under inflation causes rapid shoulder wear, tire flexing, and can result in tire failure (1).

Tires: Removal and Replacement
TIRE LEAK REPAIRING
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 attempting to dismount the tire from the wheel. Use a lubricant 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 progressively tighten the five wheel nuts to a torque of 135 Nm (100 ft.
lbs.).

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
All vehicles use either steel or cast aluminum drop center wheels. The original equipment wheels
are designed for proper operation at all loads up to the specified maximum vehicle capacity.
Every wheel has raised sections between the rim flanges (1) and drop well (3) called safety humps
(2). In case of air loss, these raised sections help hold the tire in position on the wheel until the
vehicle can be brought to a safe stop. When being installed on the wheel, initial inflation of the tire
forces the tire bead over these raised sections into place.
The wheel studs and nuts are designed for specific wheel applications and must be replaced with
equivalent parts. Do not use replacement parts of lesser quality or of a substitute design. All
aluminum and steel wheels have wheel stud nuts with an enlarged nose. This enlarged nose is
necessary to ensure proper retention of the wheels.

Wheels: Testing and Inspection
WHEEL INSPECTION
Inspect wheels for:
- Excessive runout
- Dents, cracks or irregular bends
- Damaged wheel stud (lug) holes
- Air Leaks
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.
WARNING: Replacement with used wheels is 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 (93 degrees Celsius).
- 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.

Wheels: Service and Repair
WHEEL AND WHEEL TRIM CARE
All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated, should be cleaned regularly
using mild soap and water to maintain their luster and to prevent corrosion. Wash them with the
same soap solution recommended for the body of the vehicle.
When cleaning extremely dirty wheels, care must be taken in the selection of tire and wheel
cleaning chemicals and equipment to prevent damage to the wheels. Mopar(R) Tire AND Wheel
Cleaner, Mopar(R) Wheel Treatment or Mopar(R) Chrome Cleaner is recommended. Any of the
"DO NOT USE" items listed below can damage wheels and wheel trim.
DO NOT USE:
- Any abrasive cleaner
- Any abrasive cleaning pad (such as steel wool) or abrasive brush
- Any cleaner that contains an acid which can react with and discolor the chrome surface. Many
wheel cleaners contain acids that can harm the wheel surface.
- Oven cleaner
- A car wash that uses carbide-tipped wheel cleaning brushes or acidic solutions.

HUB AND BEARING
NOTE: The wheel bearing is designed to last for the life of the vehicle and requires no type of
periodic maintenance.
The following procedure may be used for diagnosing the condition of the hub and bearing.
1. Remove the wheel and tire assembly, disc brake caliper and brake rotor. See: Brakes and
Traction Control/Disc Brake System/Brake
Rotor/Disc/Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement/Brake Rotor - Removal
2. Rotate the wheel hub checking for resistance or roughness.
Any roughness or resistance to rotation may indicate dirt intrusion or a failed hub bearing. If the
bearing exhibits any of these conditions, the hub bearing will require replacement. Do not attempt
to disassemble the bearing for repair. If the wheel bearing is disassembled for any reason, it must
be replaced.
Damaged bearing seals and the resulting excessive grease loss may also require hub and bearing
replacement. Moderate grease weeping from the bearing is considered normal and should not
require replacement of the hub and bearing.

JUMP STARTING
WARNING: Do not jump start a frozen battery, personal injury can result. Do not jump start a
vehicle when the battery fluid is below the top
of lead plates. Do not allow jumper cable clamps to touch each other when connected to a booster
source. Do not use open flame near battery. Remove metallic jewelry worn on hands or wrists to
avoid injury by accidental arcing of battery current. When using a high output boosting device, do
not allow battery voltage to exceed 16 volts. Refer to instructions provided with device being used.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury or death.
CAUTION: When using another vehicle as a booster, do not allow vehicles to touch. Electrical
systems can be damaged on either vehicle.
NOTE: For information on accessing the battery for service or replacement See: Starting and
Charging/Battery/Service and Repair/Removal and
Replacement/Battery - Removal
TO JUMP START A DISABLED VEHICLE:
WARNING:
- Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can start anytime the
ignition switch is ON. You can be hurt by the fan.
- Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. Vehicles equipped with an automatic
transaxle cannot be started this way. Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic converter and once
the engine has started, ignite and damage the converter and vehicle. If the vehicle has a
discharged battery, booster cables may be used to obtain a start from another vehicle. This type of
start can be dangerous if done improperly, so follow this procedure carefully.
- Do not use a booster battery or any other booster source with an output that exceeds 12 Volts.
WARNING:
- Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution; do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin, or
clothing. Don't lean over battery when attaching clamps or allow the clamps to touch each other. If
acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush contaminated area immediately with large quantities of
water.
- A battery generates hydrogen gas, which is flammable and explosive. Keep flame or spark away
from the vent holes.
NOTE: The battery is stored in a compartment that is located behind the left front fender and is
accessible through the wheel well. Remote
jump-start terminals are located in the engine compartment.
1. Wear eye protection and remove any metal jewelry such as watchbands or bracelets that might
make an inadvertent electrical contact. 2. When boosting from a battery in another vehicle, park
that vehicle within booster cable reach, but without allowing the vehicles to touch. Set
parking brake, place automatic transaxle in PARK, and turn ignition to LOCK for both vehicles.
WARNING: Do not permit vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground connection
and personal injury could result.
3. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical loads.
4. Remove the protective cover (1) over the remote jump-start positive battery post (2) (+) in the
engine compartment. Connect one end of the jumper
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Jump Starting > System Information > Service and Repair > Page 1867
cable to the positive battery post (2). Connect the other end of the same cable to the positive
terminal of the booster battery.
5. Connect the other cable, first to the negative terminal of the booster battery and then to the
engine ground (-) of the vehicle with the discharged
battery (5). Make sure you have a good contact on the engine ground.
6. If the vehicle is equipped with Sentry Key Immobilizer, turn the ignition switch to the ON position
for three seconds before moving the ignition
switch to the START position.
7. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a few minutes, and
then start the engine in the vehicle with the
discharged battery.
8. When removing the jumper cables, reverse the sequence exactly. Be careful of the moving belts
and fan. 9. Reinstall the protective cover over the remote jump-start positive battery post.
WARNING: During cold weather when temperatures are below freezing point, electrolyte in a
discharged battery may freeze. Do not attempt

SPECIFICATION - TOWING, Trailer - NAFTA, Puerto Rico
you will find safety tips and information on limits to the type of towing you can reasonably do with
your vehicle. Before towing a trailer, carefully review this information to tow your 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 Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is the total allowable weight of your 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 your 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 your 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 Gross Axle Weight Rating (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. You could lose control of the vehicle and have an accident. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
Tongue Weight (TW)
Tongue weight (TW) is the downward force exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer. 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 your vehicle.
Frontal Area
Frontal area is the maximum height and maximum width of the front of a trailer.
Trailer Sway Control - Electronic
For information on this system, See: Brakes and Traction Control/Description and Operation.
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 kinds of hitches are the most
popular on the market today and they are commonly used to tow small- and medium-sized trailers.
Weight-Distributing Hitch
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Towing Information > System Information > Service and Repair > Trailer
Towing - NAFTA, Puerto Rico > Page 1872
Weight Distributing Hitch System
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 (TW) and
may be required depending on vehicle and trailer configuration / loading to comply with Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR) requirements.
Improper Adjustment of Weight Distributing System
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 your
hitch and trailer manufacturer or a reputable recreational vehicle dealer for additional information.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
Trailer Hitch Classification
Your 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 your 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 your
intended towing condition.
All trailer hitches should be professionally installed on your vehicle.
Trailer Towing Weights (Maximum Trailer Weight Ratings)
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Towing Information > System Information > Service and Repair > Trailer
Towing - NAFTA, Puerto Rico > Page 1873
The following chart provides the maximum trailer weight ratings towable for your given drivetrain.
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 your 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 the 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 your bumper or trailer hitch.
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Towing Information > System Information > Service and Repair > Trailer
Towing - NAFTA, Puerto Rico > Page 1874
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 your vehicle.
- The weight of the driver and all passengers.
NOTE: Remember that everything put into or on the trailer adds to the load on your vehicle. Also,
additional factory-installed options or
authorized dealer-installed options must be considered as part of the total load on your vehicle.
Refer to the "Tire and Loading Information" placard for the maximum combined weight of
occupants and cargo for your vehicle.
Towing Requirements
To promote proper break-in of your 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).
WARNING: Improper towing can lead to an injury accident. Follow these guidelines to make your
trailer towing as safe as possible:
Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer and that it 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. You could lose control of your vehicle and have an accident. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
- When hauling cargo or towing a trailer, do not overload your vehicle or trailer. Overloading can
cause a loss of control, poor performance, or damage to brakes, axle, engine, transaxle, steering,
suspension, chassis structure, or tires.
- Safety chains must always be used between your 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 transaxle in PARK. Always, block or "chock" the
trailer wheels.
- GCWR must not be exceeded.
- Total weight must be distributed between the tow vehicle and the trailer such 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 your vehicle.
Refer to "Tires-General Information" for information on tire pressures and 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. Refer to "Tires-General
Information" for information on tread wear indicators and for the proper inspection procedure.
- When replacing tires, See: Wheels and Tires/Tires/Description and Operation for information on
replacement tires and for the 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 your 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 1,000 lbs (454 kg) 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, and longer
stopping distances.
WARNING: Do not connect trailer brakes to your vehicle's hydraulic brake lines. It can overload
your 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 your stopping distance. When towing, you should allow for additional space between your
vehicle and the vehicle in front of you. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible
serious or fatal injury.

Towing Requirements - Trailer Lights AND Wiring
4 - Pin Connector
Whenever you pull a trailer, regardless of the trailer size, stoplights 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 vehicles wiring harness.
The electrical connections are all complete to the vehicle but you must mate the harness to a trailer
connector. Refer to the following illustrations.
7- Pin Connector
Towing Tips
Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping, and backing up the trailer in an area located
away from heavy traffic.
Towing Tips - Automatic Transaxle
The DRIVE range can be selected when towing. However, if frequent shifting occurs while in this
range, select the "3" range for 4-speed automatic or the "5" range for 6-speed automatic.
NOTE: Using the "3" or "5" range while operating the vehicle under heavy operating conditions will
improve performance and extend
transaxle life by reducing excessive shifting and heat build up. This action will also provide better
engine braking.
If you REGULARLY tow a trailer for more than 45 minutes of continuous operation, then change
the automatic transaxle fluid and filter according to the interval specified for "police, taxi, fleet, or
frequent trailer towing" in the Maintenance Schedule.
NOTE: Check the 4-speed automatic transaxle fluid level before towing. The 6-speed transaxle is
sealed and the fluid level cannot be checked.
See your authorized dealer for assistance.
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 get back to cruising speed.
- Use speed control in flat terrain and with light loads to maximize fuel efficiency.
Towing Tips - Autostick (R) (If Equipped)
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Towing Information > System Information > Service and Repair > Trailer
Towing - NAFTA, Puerto Rico > Page 1876
- By using the Autostick(R) modes and selecting a specific gear range, frequent shifting can be
avoided. The highest gear range should be selected that allows for adequate performance. For
example, choose "4" if the desired speed can be maintained. Choose "3" or "2" if needed to
maintain the desired speed.
- Extended driving at high RPM should be avoided to prevent excess heat generation. A reduction
in vehicle speed may be required to avoid extended driving at high RPM. Return to a higher gear
range or vehicle speed when road conditions and RPM level allows.
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.

CYLINDER COMPRESSION PRESSURE TEST
The results of a cylinder compression pressure test can be utilized to diagnose several engine
malfunctions.
Ensure the battery is completely charged and the engine starter motor is in good operating
condition. Otherwise the indicated compression pressures may not be valid for diagnosis purposes.
1. Check engine oil level and add oil if necessary. 2. Drive the vehicle until engine reaches normal
operating temperature. Select a route free from traffic and other forms of congestion, observe all
traffic laws, and accelerate through the gears several times briskly.
3. Remove all spark plugs from engine. As spark plugs are being removed, check electrodes for
abnormal firing indicators such as fouled, hot, oily,
etc. Record cylinder number of spark plug for future reference.
4. Remove the Auto Shutdown (ASD) relay from the TIPM. 5. Install a suitable compression test
gauge into the number 1 spark plug hole in cylinder head. 6. Crank engine until maximum pressure
is reached on gauge. Record this pressure as #1 cylinder pressure. 7. Repeat the previous step for
all remaining cylinders. 8. Compression should not be less than 689 kPa (100 psi) and not vary
more than 25 percent from cylinder to cylinder. 9. If one or more cylinders have abnormally low
compression pressures, repeat the compression test.
10. If the same cylinder or cylinders repeat an abnormally low reading on the second compression
test, it could indicate the existence of a problem in
the cylinder in question. The recommended compression pressures are to be used only as a guide
to diagnosing engine problems. An engine should not be disassembled to determine the cause of
low compression unless some malfunction is present.

DESCRIPTION
A single overhead camshaft per cylinder head provides valve actuation. The left camshaft
accommodates a cam sensor pick-up wheel and is therefore longer. Each camshaft is supported
by four bearing journals. A thrust plate attached to the rear of each cylinder head controls camshaft
end play. Right and left camshaft driving sprockets support a timing mark, are keyed, and not
interchangeable because of the cam sensor pick-up wheel on the left sprocket. Camshaft bearing
lubrication is provided via a oil supply passage through each rocker shaft pedestal dowel.

Camshaft: Description and Operation Camshaft - Operation
OPERATION
The camshaft is driven by the crankshaft via drive sprockets and belt. As the crankshaft turns, the
timing belt turns the camshaft. The camshaft lobes press the lifters which in turn open the valves at
the correct time. The valve spring returns the valve to the closed state.
The camshaft has precisely machined lobes to provide accurate valve timing and duration.

INSPECTION
1. Inspect camshaft bearing journals for damage and binding. If journals are binding, check the
cylinder head for damage. Also check cylinder head
oil holes for clogging.
2. Check the cam lobe and bearing surfaces for abnormal wear and damage. Replace camshaft if

ROCKER ARM SHAFTS
The rocker arm shafts are tubular steel and supported by several forged aluminum alloy pedestals,
which are fastened to the cylinder head. Four shafts are used, one for each intake and exhaust
rocker arm bank on each cylinder head. The shafts are hollow to provide a duct for lubricating oil
flow from the cylinder head to the valve mechanisms. One hollow dowel per pedestal is used to
locate the pedestal to the cylinder head, orient the exhaust rocker shaft, and serve as a cam
bearing oil feed passage.

Crankshaft Main Bearing: Procedures
CRANKSHAFT MAIN BEARING FITTING
The main bearings use a "select fit" system to achieve proper oil clearances between the bearings
and the crankshaft. When main bearings are being selected for a new crankshaft, the block and
crankshaft grade identification marks must be used to identify the correct main bearings to use.
The cylinder block main bearing bore grade codes (1) are located on the left side front of the
engine block, just below the cylinder head mounting surface. These grade marks (1, 2, 3, or 4) are
read left to right, corresponding to main bearing bore 1, 2, 3, or 4.
The grade marks for the crankshaft are located on the rearmost crankshaft counter weight. The
crankshaft journal grade marks (A, B, or C) are read left to right, corresponding with journal number
1, 2, 3, 4. For an example, if the main bore grade on the side of the engine block is 3 and the
journal grade on the #9 counterweight of the crankshaft is B, the proper select fit bearing would be
a (2) +0.003 mm (+0.0001 in.).
Refer to the EXAMPLE CRANKSHAFT MAIN BEARING SELECTION DATA for a more detailed
example of how to properly select the main bearings.
NOTE: Service main bearings have a number from (1-5) marked in ink on the bearing surface. For
verification, refer to the MAIN BEARING
SELECTION CHART for number to size identification.

DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft is constructed of a forged micro alloy steel. A six throw, nine counterweight
crankshaft is supported by four select fit main bearings with number two serving as the thrust
washer location. The six separate connecting rod throws are an even-firing design which reduces
torque fluctuations while a torsional vibration damper is used to control torsion caused vibration of
the crankshaft. Rubber lipped seals are used at front and rear. The front seal is retained in the oil
pump case and the rear seal is retained in a block-mounted housing.

Rocker Arm Assembly: Description and Operation Rocker Arm Shaft - Description
ROCKER ARM SHAFTS
The rocker arm shafts are tubular steel and supported by several forged aluminum alloy pedestals,
which are fastened to the cylinder head. Four shafts are used, one for each intake and exhaust
rocker arm bank on each cylinder head. The shafts are hollow to provide a duct for lubricating oil
flow from the cylinder head to the valve mechanisms. One hollow dowel per pedestal is used to
locate the pedestal to the cylinder head, orient the exhaust rocker shaft, and serve as a cam
bearing oil feed passage.

INSPECTION
When valves have been removed for inspection, reconditioning or replacement, valve springs
should be tested. As an example; the compression length of the spring to be tested is 38.00 mm
(1.496 in.). Turn table of Tool C-647 until surface is in line with the 38.00 mm (1.496 inches.) mark
on the threaded stud and the zero mark on the front. Place spring over stud on the table and lift
compressing lever to set tone device. Pull on torque wrench until ping is heard. Take reading on
torque wrench at this instant. Multiply this reading by two. This will give the spring load at test
length. Fractional measurements are indicated on the table for finer adjustments. Refer to Engine
Specifications to obtain specified height and allowable tensions See: Specifications/Engine Specifications. Replace springs that do not meet specifications.

VALVES
1. Inspect the remaining margin after the valves are refaced See: Specifications/Engine Specifications.
VALVE SEATS
1. When refacing valve seats, it is important that the correct size valve guide pilot be used for
re-seating stones. A true and complete surface must be
obtained.
2. Measure the concentricity of valve seat using dial indicator. Total runout should not exceed
0.051 mm (0.002 inch.) total indicator reading.
3. Inspect the valve seat with Prussian blue to determine where the valve contacts the seat. To do
this, coat valve seat LIGHTLYwith Prussian blue
then set valve in place. Rotate the valve with light pressure. If the blue is transferred to the center
of valve face, contact is satisfactory. If the blue is transferred to top edge of valve face, then lower
valve seat with a 15 degree stone. If the blue is transferred to the bottom edge of valve face, then
raise valve seat with a 65 degree stone.

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 recommends that only Mopar(R) brand parts, lubricants and
chemicals be used. Mopar(R) provides the best engineered products for servicing Chrysler
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 CERTIFICATION AND LICENSE SYMBOL
Use an engine oil that is API Certified and Licensed to display the certification mark. MOPAR(R)
provides engine oils that meet or exceed, Material Standard MS-6395 requirement.
SAE VISCOSITY
Engine oils are designed to improve low temperature starting and vehicle fuel economy. Refer to
the engine oil filler cap for the preferred engine oil viscosity grade for each vehicle. SAE viscosity
grades are used to specify the correct viscosity oil for an engine. Use only Multi-Viscosity oils.
These are specified with a dual SAE viscosity grade which indicates the cold (5W) to hot (20, 30)
temperature performance range of the oil.
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.
CONTAINER IDENTIFICATION
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Engine Lubrication > Engine Oil > Component
Information > Specifications > Page 2098
The Engine Oil Certification Mark was developed and trademarked by the API to refer customers to
those engine oils preferred by the automobile manufacturers. This symbol means that the oil has
been certified and licensed by the American Petroleum Institute (API). This certification mark will
only be found on the front of the oil containers. Those oils that do not display the "Mark" on the
front of the container should not be used.
Chrysler only recommends API Certified engine oils that meet the requirements of Material
Standard MS-6395. Use Mopar or an equivalent oil meeting the specification MS-6395.
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 are certified by the American Petroleum
Institute (API) to display the "Certification Mark" and show SAE viscosity grade recommended for
each vehicle. 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 and emission systems by:
- Increasing the level of Phosphorus and Sulfur in the engine oil. The API Certified Engine Oils
control the Phosphorus and Sulfur contents of the oil to levels that reduce the contamination effect
on the vehicles emission control system.
- 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.
The engine oils contain a performance additive system carefully developed to optimize the oils
performance in the engine. The addition of supplements may cause the oil to thicken prematurely,
cause excessive deposit build-up and potentially shorten engine life.

Engine Oil: Service and Repair Engine Oil Level Check
ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level
reading. Remove dipstick (1), and observe oil level. Add oil only when the level is at or below the
SAFE mark. If the oil level is in the safe (2) range, do not add oil.
CAUTION: Do not operate engine if the oil level is above the MAX mark on the dipstick. Excessive
oil volume can cause oil aeration which can
lead to engine failure due to loss of oil pressure or increase in oil temperature.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
CYLINDER COMPRESSION PRESSURE TEST
The results of a cylinder compression pressure test can be utilized to diagnose several engine
malfunctions.
Ensure the battery is completely charged and the engine starter motor is in good operating
condition. Otherwise the indicated compression pressures may not be valid for diagnosis purposes.
1. Check engine oil level and add oil if necessary. 2. Drive the vehicle until engine reaches normal
operating temperature. Select a route free from traffic and other forms of congestion, observe all
traffic laws, and accelerate through the gears several times briskly.
3. Remove all spark plugs from engine. As spark plugs are being removed, check electrodes for
abnormal firing indicators such as fouled, hot, oily,
etc. Record cylinder number of spark plug for future reference.
4. Remove the Auto Shutdown (ASD) relay from the TIPM. 5. Install a suitable compression test
gauge into the number 1 spark plug hole in cylinder head. 6. Crank engine until maximum pressure
is reached on gauge. Record this pressure as #1 cylinder pressure. 7. Repeat the previous step for
all remaining cylinders. 8. Compression should not be less than 689 kPa (100 psi) and not vary
more than 25 percent from cylinder to cylinder. 9. If one or more cylinders have abnormally low
compression pressures, repeat the compression test.
10. If the same cylinder or cylinders repeat an abnormally low reading on the second compression
test, it could indicate the existence of a problem in
the cylinder in question. The recommended compression pressures are to be used only as a guide
to diagnosing engine problems. An engine should not be disassembled to determine the cause of
low compression unless some malfunction is present.

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 airlocks 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 Pentastar 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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Water Pump > Component Information > Service and
Repair > Procedures > Page 2268
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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Water Pump > Component Information > Service and
Repair > Procedures > Page 2269
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 airlocks 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.

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.

GAS ENGINES
WARNING: Antifreeze is an ethylene glycol based 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 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 boiling 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 requires special corrosion
protection. Mopar(R) Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769), or the
equivalent ethylene glycol based coolant with hybrid 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.
The green coolant MUST NOT BE MIXED with the orange or magenta coolants. When replacing
coolant the complete system flush must be performed before using the replacement coolant.
CAUTION: Mopar(R) Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769) may not be
mixed with any other type of antifreeze. Doing
so will reduce the corrosion protection and may result in premature water pump seal failure. If
non-HOAT coolant is introduced into the cooling system in an emergency, it should be replaced
with the specified coolant as soon as possible.

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

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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (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 2325
- 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.

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 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 it must be replaced if inoperative, leaking or damaged.

Description and Operation > Radiator Cap - Description
Radiator Cap: Description and Operation Radiator Cap - Description
DESCRIPTION
The cooling system is equipped with a pressure cap that releases built up pressure, maintaining a
range of 97-124 kPa (14-18 psi).
There is also a vent valve in the center of the cap. This valve also opens when coolant is cooling
and contracting, allowing coolant to return to radiator from coolant reserve/recovery system
container by vacuum through connecting hose. If valve is stuck shut, the radiator hoses will be
collapsed on cool down. Clean the vent valve to ensure proper sealing when boiling point is
reached.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Radiator Cap > Component Information >
Description and Operation > Radiator Cap - Description > Page 2375
Radiator Cap: Description and Operation Radiator Cap - Operation
OPERATION
The pressure cap allows the cooling system to operate at higher than atmospheric pressure. The
higher pressure raises the coolant boiling point; this allows increased radiator cooling capacity.
The gasket in the cap seals the filler neck, so that vacuum can be maintained, allowing coolant to
be drawn back into the cooling system from the reserve container.

Radiator Cap: Testing and Inspection Radiator Pressure Cap
RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP TESTING
CAUTION: Vehicles equipped with 2.4L engines use a different pressure cap than vehicles
equipped with 2.7L engines. The pressure caps are
NOT interchangeable. Verify proper pressure cap part number.
Dip the pressure cap in water. Clean any deposits off the vent valve or its seat and apply cap to
end of the Pressure Cap Test Adaptor that is included with the Cooling System Tester 7700.
Working the plunger, bring the pressure to 104 kPa (15 psi) on the gauge. If the pressure cap fails
to hold pressure of at least 97 kPa (14 psi), replace the pressure cap.
CAUTION: The Cooling System Tester Tool is very sensitive to small air leaks that will not cause
cooling system problems. A pressure cap that
does not have a history of coolant loss should not be replaced just because it leaks slowly when
tested with this tool. Add water to the tool. Turn tool upside down and recheck pressure cap to
confirm that cap is bad.
If the pressure cap tests properly while positioned on Cooling System Tester but will not hold
pressure or vacuum when positioned on the filler neck. Inspect the filler neck and cap top gasket
for irregularities that may prevent the cap from sealing properly.

Radiator Cap: Testing and Inspection Pressure Relief Test
PRESSURE RELIEF TESTING
WARNING: The warning words "DO NOT OPEN HOT" on the pressure cap is a safety precaution.
When hot, the cooling system builds up
pressure. To prevent scalding or other injury, the pressure cap should not be removed while the
system is hot and/or under pressure.
CAUTION: Vehicles equipped with 2.4L engines use a different pressure cap than vehicles
equipped with 2.7L engines. The pressure caps are
NOT interchangeable. Verify proper pressure cap part number.
The pressure cap upper gasket to filler neck seal can be checked by removing the overflow hose at
the filler neck overflow nipple. Attach the radiator pressure tester to the filler neck overflow nipple,
and pump air into the system. The pressure cap upper gasket should relieve pressure at 69-124
kPa (10-18 psi), and hold pressure at 55 kPa (8 psi) minimum.
There is no need to remove the pressure cap at any time except for the following purposes:
- Check and adjust coolant freeze point
- Refill system with new coolant
- Conducting service procedures
- Checking for leaks
WARNING: If vehicle has been run recently, wait 15 minutes before removing cap. Place a shop
towel over the cap, and without pushing down,
rotate it counterclockwise to the first stop. Allow fluids to escape through the overflow tube. When
the system stops pushing coolant and steam into the coolant recovery tank and pressure drops,
push down on the cap and remove it completely. Squeezing the radiator inlet hose with a shop
towel (to check pressure) before and after turning to the first stop is recommended.

Thermostat: Description and Operation Engine Coolant Thermostat - Description
3.5L
The thermostat is located on the lower left side of engine, near the front. The thermostat is on the
inlet side of the water pump. It has an air bleed located in the thermostat flange. The air bleed
allows internal trapped air during cooling system filling to be released.

Thermostat: Description and Operation Engine Coolant Thermostat - Operation
OPERATION
The engine cooling thermostat is a wax pellet driven, reverse poppet choke type. The thermostat is
designed to provide the fastest warm up possible by preventing leakage through it and to
guarantee a minimum engine operating temperature of 88 to 93°C (192 to 199°F). The thermostat
also will automatically reach wide open so it will not restrict flow to the radiator as temperature of
the coolant rises in hot weather to around 104°C (220°F). Above this temperature the coolant
temperature is controlled by the radiator, fan, and ambient temperature, not the thermostat.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Thermostat, Engine Cooling > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Page 2411
Thermostat: Testing and Inspection
ENGINE COOLANT THERMOSTAT TESTING
The thermostat is operated by a wax filled container (pellet) which is sealed. When heated coolant
reaches a predetermined temperature the wax pellet expands enough to overcome the closing
spring and water pump pressure, which forces the valve to open. Coolant leakage into the pellet
will cause a thermostat to fail open. Do not attempt to free up a thermostat with a screwdriver.
The thermostat that opens too soon type failure mode is included in the on-board diagnosis. The
check engine light will be lit by an open too soon condition. If it has failed open, a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) will be set. Do not change a thermostat for lack of heater performance or
temperature gauge position, unless a DTC is present. For other probable causes, See: Testing and
Inspection. Thermostat failing shut is the normal long term mode of failure, and normally, only on
high mileage vehicles. The temperature gauge will indicate this.

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 airlocks 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 Pentastar 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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Water Pump > Component Information >
Service and Repair > Procedures > Page 2425
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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Water Pump > Component Information >
Service and Repair > Procedures > Page 2426
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 airlocks 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.

PCM
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is a digital computer containing a microprocessor. The PCM
receives input signals from various switches and sensors referred to as Powertrain Control Module
Inputs. Based on these inputs, the PCM adjusts various engine and vehicle operations through
devices referred to as Powertrain Control Module Outputs.
NOTE: PCM Inputs:
- Air Conditioning Pressure Transducer
- ASD/Main Relay
- Battery Voltage
- Brake Switch
- Camshaft Position Sensor
- Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Distance Sensor (from transmission control module)
- EGR Position Feedback (if equipped)
- Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
- Heated Oxygen Sensors
- Ignition sense
- Inlet Air Temperature Sensor
- Knock Sensor
- Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
- Park/Neutral (from trans range sensor)
- Power Steering Pressure Switch
- Proportional Purge Sense
- CAN C Bus
- Speed Control
- Transmission Control Relay (Switched B+)
- Transmission Pressure Switches
- Transmission Temperature Sensor
- Transmission Input Shaft Speed Sensor
- Transmission Output Shaft Speed Sensor
- Vehicle Speed
NOTE: PCM Outputs:
- Air Conditioning Clutch Relay
- Data Link Connector (CAN C Bus)
- Double Start Override
- EGR Solenoid (if equipped)
- Fuel Injectors
- Generator Field
- High Speed Fan Relay
- Ignition Coils
- Natural Vacuum Leak Detection
- Low Speed Fan Relay
- MTV Actuator
- Proportional Purge Solenoid
- SRV Valve
- Speed Control Relay
- Speed Control Vent Relay
- Speed Control Vacuum Relay
- Torque Reduction Request
- Transmission Control Relay
- Transmission Solenoids
- 5 Volt Output
Based on inputs it receives, the powertrain control module (PCM) adjusts fuel injector pulse width,
idle speed, ignition timing, and canister purge operation and EGR if equipped. The PCM regulates
the cooling fans, air conditioning and speed control systems. The PCM changes generator charge

rate by adjusting the generator field.
The PCM adjusts injector pulse width (air-fuel ratio) based on the following inputs.
- Manifold Absolute Pressure
- Engine Speed (crankshaft position sensor)
- Battery Voltage
- Inlet Air Temperature Sensor
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Exhaust Gas Oxygen Content (heated oxygen sensors)
- Throttle Position
The PCM adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control motor based on the following inputs.
- Brake Switch
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Engine Speed (crankshaft position sensor)
- Park/Neutral
- Transaxle Gear Engagement
- Throttle Position
- Vehicle Speed (from Transmission Control Module)
The PCM adjusts ignition timing based on the following inputs.
- Inlet Air Temperature
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Engine Speed (crankshaft position sensor)
- Knock Sensor
- Manifold Absolute Pressure
- Park/Neutral (from trans range sensor)
- Transaxle Gear Engagement
- Throttle Position
The camshaft and crankshaft signals are sent to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). If the PCM
does not receive both signals within approximately one second of engine cranking, it deactivates
the fuel pump. When deactivated, power is shut off to the fuel injectors, ignition coils, fuel pump
and the heating element in each oxygen sensor.
The PCM contains a voltage converter that changes battery voltage to a regulated 5.0 volts. The
5.0 volts power the camshaft position sensor, and crankshaft position sensor. The PCM also
provides a regulated 5.0 volts supply for the, manifold absolute pressure sensor, throttle position
sensor and EGR (if equipped).
The PCM engine control strategy prevents reduced idle speeds until after the engine operates for
320 km (200 miles). If the PCM is replaced after 320 km (200 miles) of usage, update the mileage
in new PCM. Use the scan tool to change the mileage in the PCM. Refer to the appropriate
Powertrain Diagnostic Manual and the scan tool. If equipped with SKREEM, must use SKREEM
function to program VIN number in new PCM.
TRANSMISSION CONTROL
CVI CALCULATION
An important function of the PCM is to monitor Clutch Volume Index (CVI). CVIs represent the
volume of fluid needed to compress a clutch pack.
The PCM monitors gear ratio changes by monitoring the Input and Output Speed Sensors. The
Input, or Turbine Speed Sensor sends an electrical signal to the PCM that represents input shaft
rpm. The Output Speed Sensor provides the PCM with output shaft speed information.
By comparing the two inputs, the PCM can determine transaxle gear ratio. This is important to the
CVI calculation because the PCM determines CVIs by monitoring how long it takes for a gear
change to occur.
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (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 2648
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 PCM 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 PCM can determine
the volume of fluid used to apply or release a friction element.
The volume of transmission fluid needed to apply the friction elements are continuously updated for
adaptive controls. As friction material wears, the volume of fluid need to apply the element
increases.
Certain mechanical problems within the clutch assemblies (broken return springs, out of position
snap rings, excessive clutch pack clearance, improper assembly, etc.) can cause inadequate or
out-of-range clutch volumes. Also, defective Input/Output Speed Sensors and wiring can cause
these conditions. The following chart identifies the appropriate clutch volumes and when they are
monitored/updated:
SHIFT SCHEDULES
The PCM 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 PCM appropriately adjusts the shift schedule. Refer to the
following chart to determine the appropriate operation expected, depending on driving conditions.

Sensor Return - PCM Input
SENSOR RETURN - PCM INPUT
The sensor return circuit provides a low electrical noise ground reference for all of the systems
sensors. The sensor return circuit connects to internal ground circuits within the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM).
PCM Replacement
PCM REPLACEMENT
DESCRIPTION
Use the scan tool to reprogram the new pcm with the vehicle's original identification number (vin)
and the vehicle's original mileage. If this step is not done a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may be
set.
PCM Ground
PCM GROUND
Ground is provided through multiple pins of the PCM connector. Depending on the vehicle there
may be as many as two different ground pins. There are power grounds and sensor grounds.
The power grounds are used to control the ground side of relays, solenoids, ignition coil or
injectors. The signal ground is used for any input that uses sensor return for ground, and the
ground side of any internal processing component.
The PCM case is shielded to prevent RFI and EMI. The PCM case is grounded and must be firmly
attached to a good, clean body ground.
Internally all grounds are connected together, however there is noise suppression on the sensor
ground. For EMI and RFI protection the housing and cover are also grounded via the mounting
screws AND bracket to the chassis, separately from the ground pins.

TECH TIPS and INFORMATION:
CAUTION: 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 module can only be reprogrammed to a more recent version of that calibration.
1. The wiTECH(TM) Diagnostic Application is the preferred method for flashing any Chrysler
vehicle ECU. For more information, training tutorials
are available under the "HELP" tab in the wiTECH(TM) Diagnostic Application, under the 'Training
Aids' link.
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 'DealerCONNECT > Service > StarSCAN(R)
and StarMOBILE(R) Tools > Training Aids', under the 'Training Aids' link.
3. If the flash process is interrupted or aborted, the flash should be restarted. 4. Due to the
PCM/ECM / 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.
5. Do not allow the battery charger to time out or the charging rate to climb above 13.5 Volts during
the flash process. 6. 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 'DealerCONNECT >
Service > StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(R) Tools > Online Documentation', under the download
center.
7. 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 'DealerCONNECT > Service > StarSCAN(R)

MODULE PROGRAMMING
The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) controls the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS), Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE). When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is in need of replacement, perform
the following steps in order:
NOTE: The PCM and the WIN should never be replaced at the same time. They should be
replaced independently of each other.
1. If applicable, first replace the PCM with the original WIN still connected to the vehicle. 2. Using a
scan tool program the new PCM. (This will ensure the transfer of the Secret Key data from the
original WIN into the new PCM). 3. Replace the WIN, using the scan tool program the new WIN
module. This will transfer the Secret Key data from the PCM into the new WIN. 4. With the scan
tool reprogram the key FOBIK to the new WIN. 5. Ensure all the customer's keys have been
programmed to the new module.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new WIN after the proper procedures
are followed correctly, programming
new keys will be necessary.
PROGRAMMING THE SECRET KEY TO THE WIN
The secret key is an ID code that is unique to each WIN. This code is programmed and stored in
the WIN, the PCM, and each ignition key transponder chip. When the PCM or WIN is replaced, it is
necessary to program the Secret Key Code into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool.
Follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED, WIN
REPLACED, or TIPM REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS
CONTROL MODULE menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Programming the PCM or WIN 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 and 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.
PCM/WIN PROGRAMMING
When an PCM and the WIN are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new WIN. 2. Replace all ignition keys and program them to the new WIN.
PROGRAMMING THE WIN
CAUTION: Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle. 2. Connect the scan tool.
NOTE: Have a unique vehicle PIN readily available before running the routine
CAUTION: If the PCM and WIN are replaced at the same time, the PCM MUST be programmed
before the WIN.
3. Select "ECU View." 4. Select "WIN". 5. Select "Miscellaneous Functions." 6. Select "WIN
Replaced". 7. Enter the PIN when prompted. 8. Cycle ignition key after the successful routine
completion.
NOTE: If the PCM and the WIN are replaced at the same time, all vehicle keys will need to be
replaced and programmed to the new WIN.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE WIN
Each FOBIK has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is manufactured. When a
key is programmed into the WIN, the module learns the transponder ID code and the transponder
acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the WIN.
CAUTION: Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle. 2. Connect the scan tool. 3. Have a unique vehicle PIN
readily available before running the routine.

4. Ignition key should be in RUN position. 5. Select "ECU View". 6. Select "WIN Wireless Control".
7. Select "Miscellaneous Functions." 8. Select "Program Ignition Keys or Key FOBs", Start 9. Enter
the PIN when prompted.
10. Verify the correct information. 11. Cycle ignition key after the successful routine completion.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new WIN after the proper procedures
are followed correctly, programming
new keys will be necessary.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned by the WIN. Once a key is learned by a WIN, that
key has acquired the Secret Key for that
WIN and cannot be transferred to any other WIN or vehicle.
PROGRAMMING THE PCM
CAUTION: Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle. 2. Connect the scan tool. 3. Have a unique vehicle PIN
readily available before running the routine. 4. Ignition key should be in RUN position.

DESCRIPTION
FWD
The front wheel drive (FWD) fuel pump module contains the electric fuel pump, fuel pump
reservoir, fuel level sending unit, fuel pressure regulator, and fuel filter.
The fuel level sending unit is serviceable See: Fuel Delivery and Air Induction/Fuel Tank/Fuel
Gauge Sender/Service and Repair/Removal.
The fuel pump module, fuel pump reservoir, fuel pressure regulator, and fuel filter is serviced as an
assembly See: Fuel Delivery and Air Induction/Fuel Tank/Fuel Gauge Sender/Service and
Repair/Fuel Pump Module - Removal.
AWD
The all wheel drive (AWD) vehicles with the saddle fuel tank configurations have a main (1) and
auxiliary (2) fuel pump modules.
The AWD fuel pump modules contains the main fuel pump module (1), auxiliary fuel pump module
(2), main fuel level sending unit, auxiliary fuel level sending unit, fuel pump reservoir, fuel pressure
regulator and fuel filter.
The main fuel level sending unit is located on the main fuel pump reservoir (1) is serviceable See:
Fuel Delivery and Air Induction/Fuel Tank/Fuel Gauge Sender/Service and Repair/Removal. The
auxiliary fuel level sending unit (2) is integrated with the auxiliary fuel pump module and is serviced

Fuel Level Sensor: Description and Operation Fuel Pump Module - Operation
OPERATION
FWD
The front wheel drive (FWD) fuel pump module is located inside the fuel tank with a fuel level
sending unit and pressure regulator. The fuel pump module is a positive displacement, gerotor,
driven by a 12 volt DC permanent magnet electric motor.
The fuel pump module draws fuel through a internal filter and pushes it through the motor to an
outlet pipe. The fuel pump module contains two check valves. One valve relieves internal fuel
pump pressure and regulates maximum pump output. The second valve, in the pump outlet,
maintains pump pressure during engine off conditions.
The fuel pump pressure regulator contains a calibrated spring which forces a diaphragm against
the fuel filter return port. When pressure exceeds the calibrated amount, the diaphragm retracts,
allowing excess fuel pressure in the fuel pump module to purge into the fuel tank.
The maximum deadhead pressure is approximately 880 kPa (130 psi). The fuel pump pressure
regulator adjusts fuel system pressure to approximately 400 ± 34 kPa (58 ± 5 psi).
AWD
Operation of the all wheel drive (AWD) main fuel pump module is similar to the FWD with the
addition of a auxiliary fuel pump module with a auxiliary fuel level sending unit and draws fuel from
the base of the auxiliary fuel pump module (2) through an internal tube.
The auxiliary fuel pump module flow rate is greater than the vehicle fuel consumption rate so that
the auxiliary side of the tank is emptied before fuel is depleted from the primary side.

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.

Connector, Ground and Splice Information
CONNECTOR, GROUND AND SPLICE INFORMATION
CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some connectors are serviced only with a harness. A
typical example might be the Supplemental
Restraint System connectors. Always check parts availability before attempting a repair.
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.
LOCATIONS
Section 8W-91 contains connector/ground/splice location illustrations. The illustrations contain the
connector name (or number)/ground number/splice number and component identification.
Connector/ground/splice location charts in section 8W-91 reference the figure numbers of the
illustrations. The abbreviation T/O is used in the component location section to indicate a point in
which the wiring harness branches out to a component. The abbreviation N/S means Not Shown in

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.

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

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.

Switches - Ignition System > Ignition Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions >
Page 2881
- 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.

Ignition Switch: Description and Operation Wireless Ignition Node Receiver - Description
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) (1). The WIN and the FOB with
Integrated Key (FOBIK) are the primary components of the keyless ignition system. The only visible
component of the WIN is the ignition switch (5) located on the face of the instrument panel just to
the inboard side of the steering column.
The WIN housing is constructed of molded black plastic and it includes four integral mounting
bosses (4), which are secured to the instrument panel structure with screws. Two connector
receptacles are integral to the back of the switch housing. One (3) connects the WIN to the vehicle
electrical system through a dedicated takeout and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The other (2) is a dedicated connector for the coaxial cable input from the optional remote start
system external antenna module.
The WIN is an integrated electronic receiver that replaces the ignition switch. It communicates with
other electronic modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The WIN interfaces with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) FOBIK and the Tire Pressure Monitor
(TPM) sensors (if equipped) using Radio Frequency (RF) communication, with the Sentry Key
Immobilizer System (SKIS) transponder within the FOBIK using Low Frequency (LF)
communication. It also communicates with the TPM trigger transponders (if equipped) and steering
column lock module (if equipped) using a Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus connection.
The WIN provides a switched 12-volt source through an isolated switch for the steering column lock
module required for certain export market vehicles. It also contains a key removal inhibit solenoid,
an electronic Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) solenoid, a key-in warning contact and it
serves as the real time vehicle clock by transmitting the clock information to other electronic
modules over the CAN data bus.
The WIN cannot be adjusted or repaired, but is flash update capable. If ineffective or damaged, the
entire WIN must be replaced. When replacing the WIN, you must also replace the steering column
lock module (if equipped).

Ignition Switch: Description and Operation Wireless Ignition Node Receiver - Operation
OPERATION
Following are brief descriptions of the systems that the WIN controls.
IGNITION SWITCH
The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) incorporates an integral ignition switch that consists of four rotary
positions with three detent positions and one spring-loaded position. The one extreme clockwise
position is a spring-loaded momentary contact "START" position. When released from the "START"
position, the switch will automatically return to the detent "ON" position. The other position includes
a detent "ACCESSORY" position and a detent "LOCK" position.
The WIN reads the position of the ignition switch and transmits the data via the CAN data bus.
These positions include "LOCK" with ignition key-out, "LOCK" with ignition key-in,
"ACCESSORY,""RUN," and "START."
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (SKIS)
Upon failure of proper Sentry Key Immobilizer (SKIS) communication to the Powertrain Control
Module, (PCM), the PCM will not allow the vehicle to crank. The engine will not re-crank on the key
cycle that the failure occurred, a full key down sequence must be performed for the engine to crank
again. See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Description and
Operation/Vehicle Theft Security System - Operation.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), transmitter uses Radio Frequency (RF) signals to communicate
with the WIN, and the WIN relays the RKE requests to other modules in the vehicle over the CAN
data bus. See: Body and Frame/Locks/Power Locks/Description and Operation/Power Locks Operation
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING (TPM)
The Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system uses radio and sensor technology to monitor tire air
pressure levels. See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Tire Monitoring
System/Description and Operation/Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) - Operation.
REMOTE START WITH/EXTENDED RANGE ANTENNA
Further information concerning the Remote Start System. See: Accessories and Optional
Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Keyless Entry/Keyless Starting System/Description and
Operation/Starting System - Operation
BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK (BTSI)
The Brake Transmission Shifter/Ignition Interlock (BTSI) is controlled by the WIN. The BTSI
prevents the transmission gear shifter from being moved out of PARK without a driver in place.
PARK SHIFT INTERLOCK
The key removal inhibit solenoid internal to the WIN prevents the FOB with Integrated KEY
(FOBIK) from being rotated in the ignition switch to the LOCK position for all vehicles with an
automatic transmission unless the transmission shift lever is in the PARK position. The WIN
module monitors a hard wired input from a switch integral to the automatic transmission shifter
module to control this feature. The key removal inhibit solenoid is electronically disabled internally
by the WIN on vehicles with a manual transmission.

DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Wireless Ignition Node (WIN). The WIN, along with the FOB with
Integrated Key (FOBIK) are the primary components of the keyless ignition system. The only visible
component of the WIN is the ignition switch located on the face of the instrument panel just to the
inboard side of the steering column. The remainder of the WIN including its mounting provisions
and electrical connections are concealed within the instrument panel.
In addition to replacing a conventional keyed ignition switch, the WIN is an integrated electronic
receiver that serves as the base station in the vehicle. It communicates with other electronic
modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The WIN interfaces with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) FOBIK and the Tire Pressure Monitor
(TPM) sensors (if equipped) using Radio Frequency (RF) communication, with the Sentry Key
Immobilizer System (SKIS) transponder within the FOBIK using Low Frequency (LF) RF
communication.
The WIN cannot be adjusted or repaired, but is flash update capable. If ineffective or damaged the
entire WIN must be replaced See: Service and Repair/Wireless Ignition Node Receiver - Removal.

FOBIK TRAPPED IN WIN
The Fob with Integrated Key (FOBIK) cannot be rotated to the LOCK position, allowing it to be
removed from the ignition switch also referred to as the Wireless Ignition Node/WIN. The automatic
transmission or transaxle is shifted mechanically through a cable from the gearshift lever
mechanism to the transmission or transaxle valve body. A gated park switch is physically located
on and integral to the gearshift lever mechanism and is hard wired directly to the WIN. The gated
park switch is a simple plunger-like actuated open or closed contact switch that could be
considered redundant to the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) except that it monitors the position
selected with the gearshift lever, while the TRS monitors the position or gear of the transmission or
transaxle that is actually engaged. A damaged or improperly adjusted gearshift cable could result in
a different gear being engaged than that which is selected. The WIN uses the gated park switch
input to control an internal key lock solenoid, which controls whether the FOBIK can be rotated to
the LOCK position. When the gearshift lever is not in the PARK position, the gated park switch is a
closed circuit, the key lock solenoid is energized and the FOBIK cannot be rotated to the LOCK
position for removal.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
CYLINDER COMPRESSION PRESSURE TEST
The results of a cylinder compression pressure test can be utilized to diagnose several engine
malfunctions.
Ensure the battery is completely charged and the engine starter motor is in good operating
condition. Otherwise the indicated compression pressures may not be valid for diagnosis purposes.
1. Check engine oil level and add oil if necessary. 2. Drive the vehicle until engine reaches normal
operating temperature. Select a route free from traffic and other forms of congestion, observe all
traffic laws, and accelerate through the gears several times briskly.
3. Remove all spark plugs from engine. As spark plugs are being removed, check electrodes for
abnormal firing indicators such as fouled, hot, oily,
etc. Record cylinder number of spark plug for future reference.
4. Remove the Auto Shutdown (ASD) relay from the TIPM. 5. Install a suitable compression test
gauge into the number 1 spark plug hole in cylinder head. 6. Crank engine until maximum pressure
is reached on gauge. Record this pressure as #1 cylinder pressure. 7. Repeat the previous step for
all remaining cylinders. 8. Compression should not be less than 689 kPa (100 psi) and not vary
more than 25 percent from cylinder to cylinder. 9. If one or more cylinders have abnormally low
compression pressures, repeat the compression test.
10. If the same cylinder or cylinders repeat an abnormally low reading on the second compression
test, it could indicate the existence of a problem in
the cylinder in question. The recommended compression pressures are to be used only as a guide
to diagnosing engine problems. An engine should not be disassembled to determine the cause of
low compression unless some malfunction is present.

PCM
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is a digital computer containing a microprocessor. The PCM
receives input signals from various switches and sensors referred to as Powertrain Control Module
Inputs. Based on these inputs, the PCM adjusts various engine and vehicle operations through
devices referred to as Powertrain Control Module Outputs.
NOTE: PCM Inputs:
- Air Conditioning Pressure Transducer
- ASD/Main Relay
- Battery Voltage
- Brake Switch
- Camshaft Position Sensor
- Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Distance Sensor (from transmission control module)
- EGR Position Feedback (if equipped)
- Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
- Heated Oxygen Sensors
- Ignition sense
- Inlet Air Temperature Sensor
- Knock Sensor
- Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
- Park/Neutral (from trans range sensor)
- Power Steering Pressure Switch
- Proportional Purge Sense
- CAN C Bus
- Speed Control
- Transmission Control Relay (Switched B+)
- Transmission Pressure Switches
- Transmission Temperature Sensor
- Transmission Input Shaft Speed Sensor
- Transmission Output Shaft Speed Sensor
- Vehicle Speed
NOTE: PCM Outputs:
- Air Conditioning Clutch Relay
- Data Link Connector (CAN C Bus)
- Double Start Override
- EGR Solenoid (if equipped)
- Fuel Injectors
- Generator Field
- High Speed Fan Relay
- Ignition Coils
- Natural Vacuum Leak Detection
- Low Speed Fan Relay
- MTV Actuator
- Proportional Purge Solenoid
- SRV Valve
- Speed Control Relay
- Speed Control Vent Relay
- Speed Control Vacuum Relay
- Torque Reduction Request
- Transmission Control Relay
- Transmission Solenoids
- 5 Volt Output
Based on inputs it receives, the powertrain control module (PCM) adjusts fuel injector pulse width,
idle speed, ignition timing, and canister purge operation and EGR if equipped. The PCM regulates
the cooling fans, air conditioning and speed control systems. The PCM changes generator charge
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Powertrain Control Module - Description > Page 3133
rate by adjusting the generator field.
The PCM adjusts injector pulse width (air-fuel ratio) based on the following inputs.
- Manifold Absolute Pressure
- Engine Speed (crankshaft position sensor)
- Battery Voltage
- Inlet Air Temperature Sensor
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Exhaust Gas Oxygen Content (heated oxygen sensors)
- Throttle Position
The PCM adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control motor based on the following inputs.
- Brake Switch
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Engine Speed (crankshaft position sensor)
- Park/Neutral
- Transaxle Gear Engagement
- Throttle Position
- Vehicle Speed (from Transmission Control Module)
The PCM adjusts ignition timing based on the following inputs.
- Inlet Air Temperature
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Engine Speed (crankshaft position sensor)
- Knock Sensor
- Manifold Absolute Pressure
- Park/Neutral (from trans range sensor)
- Transaxle Gear Engagement
- Throttle Position
The camshaft and crankshaft signals are sent to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). If the PCM
does not receive both signals within approximately one second of engine cranking, it deactivates
the fuel pump. When deactivated, power is shut off to the fuel injectors, ignition coils, fuel pump
and the heating element in each oxygen sensor.
The PCM contains a voltage converter that changes battery voltage to a regulated 5.0 volts. The
5.0 volts power the camshaft position sensor, and crankshaft position sensor. The PCM also
provides a regulated 5.0 volts supply for the, manifold absolute pressure sensor, throttle position
sensor and EGR (if equipped).
The PCM engine control strategy prevents reduced idle speeds until after the engine operates for
320 km (200 miles). If the PCM is replaced after 320 km (200 miles) of usage, update the mileage
in new PCM. Use the scan tool to change the mileage in the PCM. Refer to the appropriate
Powertrain Diagnostic Manual and the scan tool. If equipped with SKREEM, must use SKREEM
function to program VIN number in new PCM.
TRANSMISSION CONTROL
CVI CALCULATION
An important function of the PCM is to monitor Clutch Volume Index (CVI). CVIs represent the
volume of fluid needed to compress a clutch pack.
The PCM monitors gear ratio changes by monitoring the Input and Output Speed Sensors. The
Input, or Turbine Speed Sensor sends an electrical signal to the PCM that represents input shaft
rpm. The Output Speed Sensor provides the PCM with output shaft speed information.
By comparing the two inputs, the PCM can determine transaxle gear ratio. This is important to the
CVI calculation because the PCM determines CVIs by monitoring how long it takes for a gear
change to occur.
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Powertrain Control Module - Description > Page 3134
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 PCM 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 PCM can determine
the volume of fluid used to apply or release a friction element.
The volume of transmission fluid needed to apply the friction elements are continuously updated for
adaptive controls. As friction material wears, the volume of fluid need to apply the element
increases.
Certain mechanical problems within the clutch assemblies (broken return springs, out of position
snap rings, excessive clutch pack clearance, improper assembly, etc.) can cause inadequate or
out-of-range clutch volumes. Also, defective Input/Output Speed Sensors and wiring can cause
these conditions. The following chart identifies the appropriate clutch volumes and when they are
monitored/updated:
SHIFT SCHEDULES
The PCM 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 PCM appropriately adjusts the shift schedule. Refer to the
following chart to determine the appropriate operation expected, depending on driving conditions.

Sensor Return - PCM Input
SENSOR RETURN - PCM INPUT
The sensor return circuit provides a low electrical noise ground reference for all of the systems
sensors. The sensor return circuit connects to internal ground circuits within the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM).
PCM Replacement
PCM REPLACEMENT
DESCRIPTION
Use the scan tool to reprogram the new pcm with the vehicle's original identification number (vin)
and the vehicle's original mileage. If this step is not done a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may be
set.
PCM Ground
PCM GROUND
Ground is provided through multiple pins of the PCM connector. Depending on the vehicle there
may be as many as two different ground pins. There are power grounds and sensor grounds.
The power grounds are used to control the ground side of relays, solenoids, ignition coil or
injectors. The signal ground is used for any input that uses sensor return for ground, and the
ground side of any internal processing component.
The PCM case is shielded to prevent RFI and EMI. The PCM case is grounded and must be firmly
attached to a good, clean body ground.
Internally all grounds are connected together, however there is noise suppression on the sensor
ground. For EMI and RFI protection the housing and cover are also grounded via the mounting
screws AND bracket to the chassis, separately from the ground pins.

MODULE PROGRAMMING
The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) controls the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS), Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE). When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is in need of replacement, perform
the following steps in order:
NOTE: The PCM and the WIN should never be replaced at the same time. They should be
replaced independently of each other.
1. If applicable, first replace the PCM with the original WIN still connected to the vehicle. 2. Using a
scan tool program the new PCM. (This will ensure the transfer of the Secret Key data from the
original WIN into the new PCM). 3. Replace the WIN, using the scan tool program the new WIN
module. This will transfer the Secret Key data from the PCM into the new WIN. 4. With the scan
tool reprogram the key FOBIK to the new WIN. 5. Ensure all the customer's keys have been
programmed to the new module.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new WIN after the proper procedures
are followed correctly, programming
new keys will be necessary.
PROGRAMMING THE SECRET KEY TO THE WIN
The secret key is an ID code that is unique to each WIN. This code is programmed and stored in
the WIN, the PCM, and each ignition key transponder chip. When the PCM or WIN is replaced, it is
necessary to program the Secret Key Code into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool.
Follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED, WIN
REPLACED, or TIPM REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS
CONTROL MODULE menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Programming the PCM or WIN 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 and 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.
PCM/WIN PROGRAMMING
When an PCM and the WIN are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new WIN. 2. Replace all ignition keys and program them to the new WIN.
PROGRAMMING THE WIN
CAUTION: Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle. 2. Connect the scan tool.
NOTE: Have a unique vehicle PIN readily available before running the routine
CAUTION: If the PCM and WIN are replaced at the same time, the PCM MUST be programmed
before the WIN.
3. Select "ECU View." 4. Select "WIN". 5. Select "Miscellaneous Functions." 6. Select "WIN
Replaced". 7. Enter the PIN when prompted. 8. Cycle ignition key after the successful routine
completion.
NOTE: If the PCM and the WIN are replaced at the same time, all vehicle keys will need to be
replaced and programmed to the new WIN.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE WIN
Each FOBIK has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is manufactured. When a
key is programmed into the WIN, the module learns the transponder ID code and the transponder
acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the WIN.
CAUTION: Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle. 2. Connect the scan tool. 3. Have a unique vehicle PIN
readily available before running the routine.

4. Ignition key should be in RUN position. 5. Select "ECU View". 6. Select "WIN Wireless Control".
7. Select "Miscellaneous Functions." 8. Select "Program Ignition Keys or Key FOBs", Start 9. Enter
the PIN when prompted.
10. Verify the correct information. 11. Cycle ignition key after the successful routine completion.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new WIN after the proper procedures
are followed correctly, programming
new keys will be necessary.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned by the WIN. Once a key is learned by a WIN, that
key has acquired the Secret Key for that
WIN and cannot be transferred to any other WIN or vehicle.
PROGRAMMING THE PCM
CAUTION: Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle. 2. Connect the scan tool. 3. Have a unique vehicle PIN
readily available before running the routine. 4. Ignition key should be in RUN position.

Fuel Level Sensor: Description and Operation Fuel Pump Module - Operation
OPERATION
FWD
The front wheel drive (FWD) fuel pump module is located inside the fuel tank with a fuel level
sending unit and pressure regulator. The fuel pump module is a positive displacement, gerotor,
driven by a 12 volt DC permanent magnet electric motor.
The fuel pump module draws fuel through a internal filter and pushes it through the motor to an
outlet pipe. The fuel pump module contains two check valves. One valve relieves internal fuel
pump pressure and regulates maximum pump output. The second valve, in the pump outlet,
maintains pump pressure during engine off conditions.
The fuel pump pressure regulator contains a calibrated spring which forces a diaphragm against
the fuel filter return port. When pressure exceeds the calibrated amount, the diaphragm retracts,
allowing excess fuel pressure in the fuel pump module to purge into the fuel tank.
The maximum deadhead pressure is approximately 880 kPa (130 psi). The fuel pump pressure
regulator adjusts fuel system pressure to approximately 400 ± 34 kPa (58 ± 5 psi).
AWD
Operation of the all wheel drive (AWD) main fuel pump module is similar to the FWD with the
addition of a auxiliary fuel pump module with a auxiliary fuel level sending unit and draws fuel from
the base of the auxiliary fuel pump module (2) through an internal tube.
The auxiliary fuel pump module flow rate is greater than the vehicle fuel consumption rate so that
the auxiliary side of the tank is emptied before fuel is depleted from the primary side.

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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3201
- 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 3202
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 microprocessor-based electronic control
modules in this vehicle is the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus system. 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 bus is a two-wire multiplex system. 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 most vehicle nodes. However, in addition to the CAN bus network, certain
nodes may also be equipped with a Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus. The LIN data bus is a
single wire low-speed (9.6 Kbps) serial link bus used to provide direct communication between a
LIN master module and certain switch or sensor inputs.
There are actually three separate CAN bus systems used in the vehicle. They are designated: the
CAN-Interior (also known as CAN Interior High Speed/IHS), the CAN-C and the Diagnostic CAN-C.
The CAN-Interior and CAN-C systems provide on-board communication between all nodes in the
vehicle. The CAN-C is the faster of the two systems providing near real-time communication (500
Kbps). The CAN-C is used typically for communications between more critical nodes, while the
slower (125 Kbps) CAN-Interior system is used for communications between less critical nodes.
The added speed of the CAN data bus is many times faster than 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 Totally Integrated Power Module/Central GateWay (TIPM or TIPMCGW) 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.
The TIPM is located in the engine compartment near the battery. The central CAN gateway or hub
module integral to the TIPM is connected 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.

Information Bus: Description and Operation Communication - Operation
OPERATION
The Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus allows all electronic modules or nodes connected to
the bus to share information with each other. Regardless of whether a message originates from a
module on the lower speed CAN-Interior (also known as CAN Interior High Speed/IHS) bus or on
the higher speed CAN-C or CAN-D bus, the message structure and layout is similar, which allows
the Totally Integrated Power Module/Central GateWay (TIPM or TIPMCGW) to process and
transfer messages between the CAN buses. The TIPM 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.
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 CAN bus
message is carried over the bus as a voltage differential between the two bus circuits which, when
strung together, form a message. Each node uses arbitration to sort the message priority if two
competing messages are attempting to be broadcast at the same time.
The Electro Mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN) is the Local Interface Network (LIN) master module in this vehicle and it gathers
information from the compass module, the instrument panel switch bank, the Steering Control
Module (SCM), and the Heated Seat Module (HSM) through the LIN data bus. There is also LIN
bus communication between the individual Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) transponders and the
Wireless Ignition Node (WIN). Both the EMIC and the WIN either act directly upon the information
received through the LIN data bus, relay the information to other nodes in the vehicle using
electronic messages placed on the CAN bus, or both.
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 bus network. On the CAN-C or the IHS bus, 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 kilohm) termination resistance. The dominant nodes on the CAN-C bus are the WIN and
the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The dominant nodes on the IHS bus are the EMIC and the
TIPM.
The termination resistance of two dominant nodes is combined in parallel to provide a total of about
60 ohms. This resistance value may vary somewhat by application, depending upon the number of
non-dominant nodes on the bus. On the CAN-D bus (or Diagnostic CAN-C) all of the 60 ohm
termination resistance is present in the Central GateWay (TIPMCGW).
NOTE: All measurement of termination resistance is done with the vehicle battery disconnected.
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 CAN bus nodes are connected in parallel to the two-wire bus using a twisted pair, where the
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 will carry a higher voltage and is referred to as the CAN
High or CAN bus (+) wire, while the other bus wire will carry a lower voltage and is referred to as
the CAN Low or CAN bus (-) wire. Refer to the CAN Bus Voltages table.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Communication - Description > Page 3214
In order to minimize the potential effects of Ignition-OFF Draw (IOD), the CAN-Interior 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 is awake only when the ignition switch is in the ON or START positions; however, the
TIPM, 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-Interior 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-Interior bus network is asleep, any node on the
bus can awaken it by transmitting a message on the network. The TIPM will keep either the
CAN-Interior 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 TIPM 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 TIPM also has two 64-bit registers, which track
each of the as-built and currently responding nodes on the CAN-Interior and CAN-C buses. The
TIPM 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 TIPM. To aid in CAN network diagnosis, the TIPM will provide CAN-Interior
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 will identify a bus off hardware failure, while the
transceiver in each node on the CAN-Interior bus will identify a general bus hardware failure. The
transceivers for some CAN-Interior nodes will also identify certain failures for both CAN-Interior bus
signal wires.

PCM
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is a digital computer containing a microprocessor. The PCM
receives input signals from various switches and sensors referred to as Powertrain Control Module
Inputs. Based on these inputs, the PCM adjusts various engine and vehicle operations through
devices referred to as Powertrain Control Module Outputs.
NOTE: PCM Inputs:
- Air Conditioning Pressure Transducer
- ASD/Main Relay
- Battery Voltage
- Brake Switch
- Camshaft Position Sensor
- Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Distance Sensor (from transmission control module)
- EGR Position Feedback (if equipped)
- Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
- Heated Oxygen Sensors
- Ignition sense
- Inlet Air Temperature Sensor
- Knock Sensor
- Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
- Park/Neutral (from trans range sensor)
- Power Steering Pressure Switch
- Proportional Purge Sense
- CAN C Bus
- Speed Control
- Transmission Control Relay (Switched B+)
- Transmission Pressure Switches
- Transmission Temperature Sensor
- Transmission Input Shaft Speed Sensor
- Transmission Output Shaft Speed Sensor
- Vehicle Speed
NOTE: PCM Outputs:
- Air Conditioning Clutch Relay
- Data Link Connector (CAN C Bus)
- Double Start Override
- EGR Solenoid (if equipped)
- Fuel Injectors
- Generator Field
- High Speed Fan Relay
- Ignition Coils
- Natural Vacuum Leak Detection
- Low Speed Fan Relay
- MTV Actuator
- Proportional Purge Solenoid
- SRV Valve
- Speed Control Relay
- Speed Control Vent Relay
- Speed Control Vacuum Relay
- Torque Reduction Request
- Transmission Control Relay
- Transmission Solenoids
- 5 Volt Output
Based on inputs it receives, the powertrain control module (PCM) adjusts fuel injector pulse width,
idle speed, ignition timing, and canister purge operation and EGR if equipped. The PCM regulates
the cooling fans, air conditioning and speed control systems. The PCM changes generator charge

rate by adjusting the generator field.
The PCM adjusts injector pulse width (air-fuel ratio) based on the following inputs.
- Manifold Absolute Pressure
- Engine Speed (crankshaft position sensor)
- Battery Voltage
- Inlet Air Temperature Sensor
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Exhaust Gas Oxygen Content (heated oxygen sensors)
- Throttle Position
The PCM adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control motor based on the following inputs.
- Brake Switch
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Engine Speed (crankshaft position sensor)
- Park/Neutral
- Transaxle Gear Engagement
- Throttle Position
- Vehicle Speed (from Transmission Control Module)
The PCM adjusts ignition timing based on the following inputs.
- Inlet Air Temperature
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Engine Speed (crankshaft position sensor)
- Knock Sensor
- Manifold Absolute Pressure
- Park/Neutral (from trans range sensor)
- Transaxle Gear Engagement
- Throttle Position
The camshaft and crankshaft signals are sent to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). If the PCM
does not receive both signals within approximately one second of engine cranking, it deactivates
the fuel pump. When deactivated, power is shut off to the fuel injectors, ignition coils, fuel pump
and the heating element in each oxygen sensor.
The PCM contains a voltage converter that changes battery voltage to a regulated 5.0 volts. The
5.0 volts power the camshaft position sensor, and crankshaft position sensor. The PCM also
provides a regulated 5.0 volts supply for the, manifold absolute pressure sensor, throttle position
sensor and EGR (if equipped).
The PCM engine control strategy prevents reduced idle speeds until after the engine operates for
320 km (200 miles). If the PCM is replaced after 320 km (200 miles) of usage, update the mileage
in new PCM. Use the scan tool to change the mileage in the PCM. Refer to the appropriate
Powertrain Diagnostic Manual and the scan tool. If equipped with SKREEM, must use SKREEM
function to program VIN number in new PCM.
TRANSMISSION CONTROL
CVI CALCULATION
An important function of the PCM is to monitor Clutch Volume Index (CVI). CVIs represent the
volume of fluid needed to compress a clutch pack.
The PCM monitors gear ratio changes by monitoring the Input and Output Speed Sensors. The
Input, or Turbine Speed Sensor sends an electrical signal to the PCM that represents input shaft
rpm. The Output Speed Sensor provides the PCM with output shaft speed information.
By comparing the two inputs, the PCM can determine transaxle gear ratio. This is important to the
CVI calculation because the PCM determines CVIs by monitoring how long it takes for a gear
change to occur.
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Description and Operation >
Powertrain Control Module - Description > Page 3424
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 PCM 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 PCM can determine
the volume of fluid used to apply or release a friction element.
The volume of transmission fluid needed to apply the friction elements are continuously updated for
adaptive controls. As friction material wears, the volume of fluid need to apply the element
increases.
Certain mechanical problems within the clutch assemblies (broken return springs, out of position
snap rings, excessive clutch pack clearance, improper assembly, etc.) can cause inadequate or
out-of-range clutch volumes. Also, defective Input/Output Speed Sensors and wiring can cause
these conditions. The following chart identifies the appropriate clutch volumes and when they are
monitored/updated:
SHIFT SCHEDULES
The PCM 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 PCM appropriately adjusts the shift schedule. Refer to the
following chart to determine the appropriate operation expected, depending on driving conditions.

SENSOR RETURN - PCM INPUT
The sensor return circuit provides a low electrical noise ground reference for all of the systems
sensors. The sensor return circuit connects to internal ground circuits within the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM).

PCM REPLACEMENT
DESCRIPTION
Use the scan tool to reprogram the new pcm with the vehicle's original identification number (vin)
and the vehicle's original mileage. If this step is not done a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may be
set.
PCM Ground
PCM GROUND
Ground is provided through multiple pins of the PCM connector. Depending on the vehicle there
may be as many as two different ground pins. There are power grounds and sensor grounds.
The power grounds are used to control the ground side of relays, solenoids, ignition coil or
injectors. The signal ground is used for any input that uses sensor return for ground, and the
ground side of any internal processing component.
The PCM case is shielded to prevent RFI and EMI. The PCM case is grounded and must be firmly
attached to a good, clean body ground.
Internally all grounds are connected together, however there is noise suppression on the sensor
ground. For EMI and RFI protection the housing and cover are also grounded via the mounting
screws AND bracket to the chassis, separately from the ground pins.

TECH TIPS and INFORMATION:
CAUTION: 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 module can only be reprogrammed to a more recent version of that calibration.
1. The wiTECH(TM) Diagnostic Application is the preferred method for flashing any Chrysler
vehicle ECU. For more information, training tutorials
are available under the "HELP" tab in the wiTECH(TM) Diagnostic Application, under the 'Training
Aids' link.
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

MODULE PROGRAMMING
The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) controls the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS), Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE). When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is in need of replacement, perform
the following steps in order:
NOTE: The PCM and the WIN should never be replaced at the same time. They should be
replaced independently of each other.
1. If applicable, first replace the PCM with the original WIN still connected to the vehicle. 2. Using a
scan tool program the new PCM. (This will ensure the transfer of the Secret Key data from the
original WIN into the new PCM). 3. Replace the WIN, using the scan tool program the new WIN
module. This will transfer the Secret Key data from the PCM into the new WIN. 4. With the scan
tool reprogram the key FOBIK to the new WIN. 5. Ensure all the customer's keys have been
programmed to the new module.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new WIN after the proper procedures
are followed correctly, programming
new keys will be necessary.
PROGRAMMING THE SECRET KEY TO THE WIN
The secret key is an ID code that is unique to each WIN. This code is programmed and stored in
the WIN, the PCM, and each ignition key transponder chip. When the PCM or WIN is replaced, it is
necessary to program the Secret Key Code into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool.
Follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED, WIN
REPLACED, or TIPM REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS
CONTROL MODULE menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Programming the PCM or WIN 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 and 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.
PCM/WIN PROGRAMMING
When an PCM and the WIN are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new WIN. 2. Replace all ignition keys and program them to the new WIN.
PROGRAMMING THE WIN
CAUTION: Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle. 2. Connect the scan tool.
NOTE: Have a unique vehicle PIN readily available before running the routine
CAUTION: If the PCM and WIN are replaced at the same time, the PCM MUST be programmed
before the WIN.
3. Select "ECU View." 4. Select "WIN". 5. Select "Miscellaneous Functions." 6. Select "WIN
Replaced". 7. Enter the PIN when prompted. 8. Cycle ignition key after the successful routine
completion.
NOTE: If the PCM and the WIN are replaced at the same time, all vehicle keys will need to be
replaced and programmed to the new WIN.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE WIN
Each FOBIK has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is manufactured. When a
key is programmed into the WIN, the module learns the transponder ID code and the transponder
acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the WIN.
CAUTION: Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle. 2. Connect the scan tool. 3. Have a unique vehicle PIN
readily available before running the routine.

NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new WIN after the proper procedures
are followed correctly, programming
new keys will be necessary.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned by the WIN. Once a key is learned by a WIN, that
key has acquired the Secret Key for that
WIN and cannot be transferred to any other WIN or vehicle.
PROGRAMMING THE PCM
CAUTION: Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle. 2. Connect the scan tool. 3. Have a unique vehicle PIN

Fuel Level Sensor: Description and Operation Fuel Pump Module - Operation
OPERATION
FWD
The front wheel drive (FWD) fuel pump module is located inside the fuel tank with a fuel level
sending unit and pressure regulator. The fuel pump module is a positive displacement, gerotor,
driven by a 12 volt DC permanent magnet electric motor.
The fuel pump module draws fuel through a internal filter and pushes it through the motor to an
outlet pipe. The fuel pump module contains two check valves. One valve relieves internal fuel
pump pressure and regulates maximum pump output. The second valve, in the pump outlet,
maintains pump pressure during engine off conditions.
The fuel pump pressure regulator contains a calibrated spring which forces a diaphragm against
the fuel filter return port. When pressure exceeds the calibrated amount, the diaphragm retracts,
allowing excess fuel pressure in the fuel pump module to purge into the fuel tank.
The maximum deadhead pressure is approximately 880 kPa (130 psi). The fuel pump pressure
regulator adjusts fuel system pressure to approximately 400 ± 34 kPa (58 ± 5 psi).
AWD
Operation of the all wheel drive (AWD) main fuel pump module is similar to the FWD with the
addition of a auxiliary fuel pump module with a auxiliary fuel level sending unit and draws fuel from
the base of the auxiliary fuel pump module (2) through an internal tube.
The auxiliary fuel pump module flow rate is greater than the vehicle fuel consumption rate so that
the auxiliary side of the tank is emptied before fuel is depleted from the primary side.

Air Injection Pump: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The air injection pump is located on the left side of the engine compartment. The pump is operated
by an internal electrical motor and is mounted to a bracket by rubber isolators. An inlet and outlet
air hoses are attached to the air pump. A heat shield is attached at the air pump mounting bracket
to ensure that the air pump is not damaged by heat coming off the exhaust system.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 3624
Air Injection Pump: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The electric air pump only functions during cold starts. The PCM will not command the electric air
pump to run if the engine coolant temperature is 10° Celsius (18° Fahrenheit) above ambient
temperature or if the engine coolant temperature is above 37° Celsius (98.6° Fahrenheit). The air
pump will not run more than 20 seconds during this cold start condition. The air inlet tube to the
electric air pump is equipped with a mass air flow (MAF) sensor. This MAF sensor monitors air flow
to the exhaust system and is used to diagnose the system by making sure the correct amount of
air, not too much or too little, reaches the exhaust system. Each component of the secondary air
system is diagnosed assuming the other part is functioning correctly. The diagnostic tool can
command the air pump ON with the key ON and engine OFF (KOEO).

Canister Purge Solenoid: Description and Operation
OPERATION
During the cold start warm-up period and the hot start time delay, the PCM does not energize the
solenoid. When de-energized, no vapors are purged.
The proportional purge solenoid operates at a frequency of 200 Hz and is controlled by an engine
controller circuit that senses the current being applied to the proportional purge solenoid and then
adjusts that current to achieve the desired purge flow. The proportional purge solenoid controls the
purge rate of fuel vapors from the vapor canister and fuel tank to the engine intake manifold.

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.

Evaporative Emission Control Canister: Description and Operation
OPERATION
All gasoline fueled vehicles use a maintenance free, evaporative (EVAP) canister. Fuel tank vapors
vent into the canister. The canister temporarily holds the fuel vapors until intake manifold vacuum
draws them into the combustion chamber. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) purges the
canister through the proportional purge solenoid. The PCM purges the canister at predetermined
intervals and engine conditions. The proportional purge solenoid controls the purge rate of fuel
vapors from the vapor canister and fuel tank to the engine intake manifold.

Evaporative Emission Control Canister: Service and Repair Installation
INSTALLATION
The picture displays a typical EVAP Canister and a typical ESIM switch. After installing any ESIM
switch, the electrical connector on the switch must be in the 3 O'clock position. This step must be
done for proper ESIM switch operation.
1. The fresh air hose that attaches to the ESIM must have a clear opening to the atmosphere.
Check the fresh air hose, including the fresh air filter,
for obstructions or restrictions at the ESIM. If a restriction is present, the system will not allow free
flow passage of clean air, and an early shut off of the fuel fill nozzle may occur during fuel fill.
2. Be sure O-ring (2) and EVAP canister opening are clean. 3. Install ESIM (1) to the EVAP
canister (3). 4. Instal mounting brackets to EVAP canister assembly.
5. Install EVAP canister assembly to vehicle. 6. Install purge line (4) to EVAP canister (1) See: Fuel

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.

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 relieve 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 powertrain control module (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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Emission Control Systems > Evaporative Emissions System > Leak
Detector, Evaporative System > Component Information > Locations > Page 3693
- After the vehicle is started, the engine coolant temperature must be within 10° C (50°F) 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 4° C and 37° C (39° F and 98° F) and the elevation level
must be below 8500 feet.
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.
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. 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 stuck
closed monitor to run.
The PCM also uses the ESIM to detect a loose or missing gas cap. The PCM looks for a change in
the fuel level (25% minimum). If a medium/large leak is then detected, a loose gas cap light
illuminates and a pending one-trip fault code is set. This is a three-trip fault before the code
matures.

EGR Valve: Description and Operation Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve - Operation
OPERATION
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 position.

WARNING: The normal operating temperature of the exhaust gas recirculate (EGR) valve and tube
is very high. Therefore, never work
around or attempt to service any engine component until it is completely cooled.
NOTE: It is very important to disconnect the battery due to the addresses (cells) within the engine
controller that store learned values related
to powertrain operation. A malfunctioning EGR system can cause bad values to be stored in these
cells that can cause an erroneous fault to occur after the system is repaired. Disconnecting the
battery for at least two minutes will remove all power from the controller and reset these cells to
normal default values.

Positive Crankcase Ventilation Valve: Description and Operation Positive Crankcase Ventilation
(PCV) Valve - Operation
OPERATION
When the engine is not operating or during an engine backfire, the spring forces the plunger back
against the seat. This prevents vapors from flowing through the valve.
When the engine is at idle or cruising, high manifold vacuum is present. At these times manifold
vacuum is able to completely compress the spring and pull the plunger to the top of the valve. In
this position there is minimal vapor flow through the valve.
During periods of moderate intake manifold vacuum the plunger is only pulled part way back from
the inlet. This results in maximum vapor flow through the valve.

WARNING: apply parking brake and/or block wheels before performing any test or adjustment with
the engine operating.
1. With engine idling, remove the hose from the PCV valve. If the valve is not plugged, a hissing
noise will be heard as air passes through the valve.
A strong vacuum should also be felt when a finger is placed over the valve inlet.
2. Install hose on PCV valve. Remove the make-up air hose from the air plenum at the rear of the
engine. Hold a piece of stiff paper (parts tag)
loosely over the end of the make-up air hose.
3. After allowing approximately one minute for crankcase pressure to reduce, the paper should
draw up against the hose with noticeable force. If the
engine does not draw the paper against the grommet after installing a new valve, replace the PCV
valve hose.
4. Turn the engine off. Remove the PCV valve from intake manifold. The valve should rattle when
shaken. 5. Replace the PCV valve and retest the system if it does not operate as described in the
preceding tests. Do not attempt to clean the old PCV
valve.

Description and Operation
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 gasoline having an octane rating of 87. The use of
premium gasoline is not recommended. The use of premium gasoline will provide no benefit over
high quality regular gasoline, and in some circumstances may result in poorer performance.
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. Chrysler recommends 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.
Chrysler strongly supports 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. Chrysler recommends that gasoline free of MMT
be used in your vehicle. The MMT content of gasoline may not be indicated on the gasoline pump;
therefore, you should ask your gasoline retailer whether or not his/her gasoline contains MMT.
It is even more important to look for gasoline without MMT in Canada because MMT can be used
at 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. Chrysler recommends 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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel > Component Information >
Description and Operation > Page 3780
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.
- 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 Description
DESCRIPTION
The plastic fuel fill cap is a threaded/quarter turn onto the end of the fuel filler tube. Its purpose is to
retain vapors and fuel in the fuel tank.

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.

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.

Fuel Gauge Sender: Description and Operation Fuel Pump Module - Operation
OPERATION
FWD
The front wheel drive (FWD) fuel pump module is located inside the fuel tank with a fuel level
sending unit and pressure regulator. The fuel pump module is a positive displacement, gerotor,
driven by a 12 volt DC permanent magnet electric motor.
The fuel pump module draws fuel through a internal filter and pushes it through the motor to an
outlet pipe. The fuel pump module contains two check valves. One valve relieves internal fuel
pump pressure and regulates maximum pump output. The second valve, in the pump outlet,
maintains pump pressure during engine off conditions.
The fuel pump pressure regulator contains a calibrated spring which forces a diaphragm against
the fuel filter return port. When pressure exceeds the calibrated amount, the diaphragm retracts,
allowing excess fuel pressure in the fuel pump module to purge into the fuel tank.
The maximum deadhead pressure is approximately 880 kPa (130 psi). The fuel pump pressure
regulator adjusts fuel system pressure to approximately 400 ± 34 kPa (58 ± 5 psi).
AWD
Operation of the all wheel drive (AWD) main fuel pump module is similar to the FWD with the
addition of a auxiliary fuel pump module with a auxiliary fuel level sending unit and draws fuel from
the base of the auxiliary fuel pump module (2) through an internal tube.
The auxiliary fuel pump module flow rate is greater than the vehicle fuel consumption rate so that
the auxiliary side of the tank is emptied before fuel is depleted from the primary side.

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.

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
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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Sensors and Switches - Ignition System >
Ignition Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4090
- 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.

Ignition Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4091
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.

Ignition Switch: Description and Operation Wireless Ignition Node Receiver - Description
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) (1). The WIN and the FOB with
Integrated Key (FOBIK) are the primary components of the keyless ignition system. The only visible
component of the WIN is the ignition switch (5) located on the face of the instrument panel just to
the inboard side of the steering column.
The WIN housing is constructed of molded black plastic and it includes four integral mounting
bosses (4), which are secured to the instrument panel structure with screws. Two connector
receptacles are integral to the back of the switch housing. One (3) connects the WIN to the vehicle
electrical system through a dedicated takeout and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The other (2) is a dedicated connector for the coaxial cable input from the optional remote start
system external antenna module.
The WIN is an integrated electronic receiver that replaces the ignition switch. It communicates with
other electronic modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The WIN interfaces with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) FOBIK and the Tire Pressure Monitor
(TPM) sensors (if equipped) using Radio Frequency (RF) communication, with the Sentry Key
Immobilizer System (SKIS) transponder within the FOBIK using Low Frequency (LF)
communication. It also communicates with the TPM trigger transponders (if equipped) and steering
column lock module (if equipped) using a Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus connection.
The WIN provides a switched 12-volt source through an isolated switch for the steering column lock
module required for certain export market vehicles. It also contains a key removal inhibit solenoid,
an electronic Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) solenoid, a key-in warning contact and it
serves as the real time vehicle clock by transmitting the clock information to other electronic
modules over the CAN data bus.
The WIN cannot be adjusted or repaired, but is flash update capable. If ineffective or damaged, the
entire WIN must be replaced. When replacing the WIN, you must also replace the steering column
lock module (if equipped).

Ignition Switch: Description and Operation Wireless Ignition Node Receiver - Operation
OPERATION
Following are brief descriptions of the systems that the WIN controls.
IGNITION SWITCH
The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) incorporates an integral ignition switch that consists of four rotary
positions with three detent positions and one spring-loaded position. The one extreme clockwise
position is a spring-loaded momentary contact "START" position. When released from the "START"
position, the switch will automatically return to the detent "ON" position. The other position includes
a detent "ACCESSORY" position and a detent "LOCK" position.
The WIN reads the position of the ignition switch and transmits the data via the CAN data bus.
These positions include "LOCK" with ignition key-out, "LOCK" with ignition key-in,
"ACCESSORY,""RUN," and "START."
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (SKIS)
Upon failure of proper Sentry Key Immobilizer (SKIS) communication to the Powertrain Control
Module, (PCM), the PCM will not allow the vehicle to crank. The engine will not re-crank on the key
cycle that the failure occurred, a full key down sequence must be performed for the engine to crank
again. See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Description and
Operation/Vehicle Theft Security System - Operation.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), transmitter uses Radio Frequency (RF) signals to communicate
with the WIN, and the WIN relays the RKE requests to other modules in the vehicle over the CAN
data bus. See: Body and Frame/Locks/Power Locks/Description and Operation/Power Locks Operation
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING (TPM)
The Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system uses radio and sensor technology to monitor tire air
pressure levels. See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Tire Monitoring
System/Description and Operation/Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) - Operation.
REMOTE START WITH/EXTENDED RANGE ANTENNA
Further information concerning the Remote Start System. See: Accessories and Optional
Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Keyless Entry/Keyless Starting System/Description and
Operation/Starting System - Operation
BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK (BTSI)
The Brake Transmission Shifter/Ignition Interlock (BTSI) is controlled by the WIN. The BTSI
prevents the transmission gear shifter from being moved out of PARK without a driver in place.
PARK SHIFT INTERLOCK
The key removal inhibit solenoid internal to the WIN prevents the FOB with Integrated KEY
(FOBIK) from being rotated in the ignition switch to the LOCK position for all vehicles with an
automatic transmission unless the transmission shift lever is in the PARK position. The WIN
module monitors a hard wired input from a switch integral to the automatic transmission shifter
module to control this feature. The key removal inhibit solenoid is electronically disabled internally
by the WIN on vehicles with a manual transmission.

Ignition Switch: Description and Operation Ignition Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Wireless Ignition Node (WIN). The WIN, along with the FOB with
Integrated Key (FOBIK) are the primary components of the keyless ignition system. The only visible
component of the WIN is the ignition switch located on the face of the instrument panel just to the
inboard side of the steering column. The remainder of the WIN including its mounting provisions
and electrical connections are concealed within the instrument panel.
In addition to replacing a conventional keyed ignition switch, the WIN is an integrated electronic
receiver that serves as the base station in the vehicle. It communicates with other electronic
modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The WIN interfaces with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) FOBIK and the Tire Pressure Monitor
(TPM) sensors (if equipped) using Radio Frequency (RF) communication, with the Sentry Key
Immobilizer System (SKIS) transponder within the FOBIK using Low Frequency (LF) RF
communication.
The WIN cannot be adjusted or repaired, but is flash update capable. If ineffective or damaged the
entire WIN must be replaced See: Service and Repair/Wireless Ignition Node Receiver - Removal.

Ignition Switch: Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
FOBIK TRAPPED IN WIN
The Fob with Integrated Key (FOBIK) cannot be rotated to the LOCK position, allowing it to be
removed from the ignition switch also referred to as the Wireless Ignition Node/WIN. The automatic
transmission or transaxle is shifted mechanically through a cable from the gearshift lever
mechanism to the transmission or transaxle valve body. A gated park switch is physically located
on and integral to the gearshift lever mechanism and is hard wired directly to the WIN. The gated
park switch is a simple plunger-like actuated open or closed contact switch that could be
considered redundant to the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) except that it monitors the position
selected with the gearshift lever, while the TRS monitors the position or gear of the transmission or
transaxle that is actually engaged. A damaged or improperly adjusted gearshift cable could result in
a different gear being engaged than that which is selected. The WIN uses the gated park switch
input to control an internal key lock solenoid, which controls whether the FOBIK can be rotated to
the LOCK position. When the gearshift lever is not in the PARK position, the gated park switch is a
closed circuit, the key lock solenoid is energized and the FOBIK cannot be rotated to the LOCK
position for removal.

- Clutch Plate and/or Seal Replacement
- Valve Body Replacement or Recondition
To perform the Quick Learn Procedure, the following conditions must be met:
- The brakes must be applied
- The engine speed must be above 500 rpm
- The throttle angle (TPS) must be less than 3 degrees
- The shift lever position must stay until prompted to shift to overdrive
- The shift lever position must stay in overdrive after the Shift to Overdrive prompt until the scan
tool indicates the procedure is complete
- The calculated oil temperature must be above 15.5° C (60° F) and below 93° C (200° F)
1. Plug the scan tool into the diagnostic connector. The connector is located under the instrument
panel. 2. Go to the Transmission screen. 3. Go to the Miscellaneous screen. 4. Select Quick Learn
Procedure. Follow the instructions of the scan tool to perform the Quick Learn Procedure.

PINION FACTOR SETTING
NOTE: This procedure must be performed if the PCM has been replaced with a NEW or
replacement unit. Failure to perform this procedure
will result in an inoperative or improperly calibrated speedometer.
The vehicle speed readings for the speedometer are taken from the output speed sensor. The
PCM must be calibrated to the different combinations of equipment (final drive and tires) available.
Pinion Factor allows the technician to set the Powertrain Control Module initial setting so that the
speedometer readings will be correct. To properly read and/or reset the Pinion Factor, it is
necessary to use a scan tool.
1. Plug the scan tool into the diagnostic connector located under the instrument panel. 2. Select the
Transmission menu. 3. Select the Miscellaneous menu. 4. Select Pinion Factor. Then follow the
instructions on the scan tool screen.

1. Open the hood. Install a battery charger and verify that the charging rate provides 13.0 to 13.5
volts. Do not allow the charger to time out during the flash process. Set the battery charger timer (if
so equipped) to continuous charge.
NOTE:
Use an accurate stand alone voltmeter. The battery charger voltmeter may not be sufficiently
accurate. Voltages outside of the specified range will cause an unsuccessful flash. If voltage
reading is too high, apply an electrical load by activating the park or headlamps and/or HVAC
blower motor to lower the voltage.

Accumulator: Description and Operation Accumulator - Description
DESCRIPTION
The 62TE has six accumulators and are all located in the case under the valve body.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Accumulator - Description > Page 4443
Accumulator: Description and Operation Accumulator - Operation
OPERATION
The function of an accumulator is to cushion the application of a frictional clutch element. When
pressurized fluid is applied to a clutch circuit, the application force is dampened by fluid collecting
in the respective accumulator chamber against the piston and spring(s). The intended result is a
smooth, firm clutch application.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Accumulator - Description > Page 4444
Accumulator: Description and Operation Valve Body - Operation
OPERATION
REGULATOR VALVE
The regulator valve controls hydraulic pressure in the transaxle. It receives unregulated pressure
from the pump, which works against spring tension to maintain oil at specific pressures. A system
of sleeves and ports allows the regulator valve to work at one of three predetermined pressure
levels. Regulated oil pressure is also referred to as "line pressure."
SOLENOID SWITCH VALVE
The solenoid switch valve controls line pressure from the LR/CC solenoid. In one position, it allows
the low/reverse clutch to be pressurized. In the other, it directs line pressure to the converter
control and converter clutch valves.
MANUAL VALVE
The manual valve is operated by the mechanical shift linkage. Its primary responsibility is to send
line pressure to the appropriate hydraulic circuits and solenoids. The valve has three operating
ranges or positions.
CONVERTER CLUTCH SWITCH VALVE
The main responsibility of the converter clutch switch valve is to control hydraulic pressure applied
to the front (off) side of the converter clutch piston. Line pressure from the regulator valve is fed to
the torque converter regulator valve, where it passes through the valve, and is slightly regulated.
The pressure is then directed to the converter clutch switch valve and to the front side of the
converter clutch piston. This pressure pushes the piston back and disengages the converter clutch.
CONVERTER CLUTCH CONTROL VALVE
The converter clutch control valve controls the back (on) side of the torque converter clutch. When
the PCM/TCM energizes or modulates the LR/CC solenoid to apply the converter clutch piston,
both the converter clutch control valve and the converter control valve move, allowing pressure to
be applied to the back side of the clutch.
T/C REGULATOR VALVE
The torque converter regulator valve slightly regulates the flow of fluid to the torque converter.
LOW/REVERSE SWITCH VALVE
The low/reverse clutch is applied from different sources, depending on whether low (1st) gear or
reverse is selected. The low/reverse switch valve alternates positions depending on from which
direction fluid pressure is applied. By design, when the valve is shifted by fluid pressure from one
channel, the opposing channel is blocked. The switch valve alienates the possibility of a sticking
ball check, thus providing consistent application of the low/reverse clutch under all operating
conditions.

Control Module: Service and Repair Quick Learn Procedure
QUICK LEARN PROCEDURE
The quick learn procedure requires the use of the scan tool. This program allows the electronic
transaxle system to recalibrate itself. This will provide the best possible transaxle operation.
NOTE: The quick learn procedure should be performed if any of the following procedures are
performed:
- Transaxle Assembly Replacement
- Powertrain Control Module Replacement
- Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly Replacement
- Clutch Plate and/or Seal Replacement
- Valve Body Replacement or Recondition
To perform the Quick Learn Procedure, the following conditions must be met:
- The brakes must be applied
- The engine speed must be above 500 rpm
- The throttle angle (TPS) must be less than 3 degrees
- The shift lever position must stay until prompted to shift to overdrive
- The shift lever position must stay in overdrive after the Shift to Overdrive prompt until the scan
tool indicates the procedure is complete
- The calculated oil temperature must be above 15.5° C (60° F) and below 93° C (200° F)
1. Plug the scan tool into the diagnostic connector. The connector is located under the instrument
panel. 2. Go to the Transmission screen. 3. Go to the Miscellaneous screen. 4. Select Quick Learn
Procedure. Follow the instructions of the scan tool to perform the Quick Learn Procedure.

Control Module: Service and Repair Pinion Factor Setting
PINION FACTOR SETTING
NOTE: This procedure must be performed if the PCM has been replaced with a NEW or
replacement unit. Failure to perform this procedure
will result in an inoperative or improperly calibrated speedometer.
The vehicle speed readings for the speedometer are taken from the output speed sensor. The
PCM must be calibrated to the different combinations of equipment (final drive and tires) available.
Pinion Factor allows the technician to set the Powertrain Control Module initial setting so that the
speedometer readings will be correct. To properly read and/or reset the Pinion Factor, it is
necessary to use a scan tool.
1. Plug the scan tool into the diagnostic connector located under the instrument panel. 2. Select the
Transmission menu. 3. Select the Miscellaneous menu. 4. Select Pinion Factor. Then follow the
instructions on the scan tool screen.

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.

Information > Specifications > Page 4464
Fluid - A/T: Description and Operation
AUTOMATIC/MANUAL TRANSAXLE FLUID
NOTE: All transaxles have a common transmission and differential sump. Filling the transaxle
accommodates the differential as well.
Mopar (R) ATF+4 (Automatic Transmission Fluid) is required in the automatic and T355/BG6
manual transaxles. Substitute fluids can induce torque converter clutch shudder, or premature
geartrain 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.
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.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Fluid - A/T > Component
Information > Service and Repair > Fluid Level and Condition Check
Fluid - A/T: Service and Repair Fluid Level and Condition Check
FLUID LEVEL AND CONDITION CHECK
FLUID LEVEL CHECK USING THE SCAN TOOL
1. Verify that the vehicle is parked on a level surface. 2. Remove the dipstick tube cap.
WARNING: There is a risk of accident from vehicle starting off by itself when engine is running.
There is a risk of injury from contusions and
burns if you insert your hands into the engine when it is started 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.
3. Actuate the service brake. Start engine and let it run at idle speed in selector lever position "P".
4. Shift through the transmission modes several times with the vehicle stationary and the engine
idling.
NOTE: When inserting dipstick special tool 9336A, excess insertion force may cause the dipstick to
slip past the stop on the bracket in the
transmission oil pan. An approximate distance that the dipstick should be inserted into the fill tube
is 424 mm (16.69 in.).
5. Warm up the transmission, wait at least 2 minutes and check the oil level with the engine
running. Push the Oil Dipstick 9336A into transmission
fill tube until the dipstick tip contacts the oil pan and pull out again, read off oil level, repeat if
necessary.
NOTE: The dipstick will protrude from the fill tube when installed.
6. Check transmission oil temperature using the appropriate scan tool. 7. The transmission Oil
Dipstick 9336A has indicator marks every 10 mm. Determine the height of the oil level on the
dipstick and using the height,
the Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) as viewed with the scan too, and the Transmission Fluid
Graph, determine if the transmission oil level
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Fluid - A/T > Component
Information > Service and Repair > Fluid Level and Condition Check > Page 4467
is correct.
8. Add or remove oil as necessary and recheck the oil level. 9. Once the oil level is correct, install
the dipstick tube cap.
FLUID CONDITION
Along with fluid level, it is important to check the condition of the fluid. When the fluid smells
burned, and is contaminated with metal or friction material particles, a complete transaxle
recondition is probably required. Be sure to examine the fluid on the dipstick closely. If there is any
doubt about its condition, drain out a sample for a double check.
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.
After the fluid has been checked, seat the dipstick fully to seal out water and dirt.

FLUID AND FILTER SERVICE
FLUID/FILTER SERVICE (RECOMMENDED)
NOTE: Refer to the maintenance schedules in LUBRICATION and MAINTENANCE for the
recommended maintenance (fluid/filter change)
intervals for this transaxle.
NOTE: Only fluids of the type labeled MOPAR(R) ATF+4 should be used. A filter change should be
made at the time of the transmission oil
change. The magnet (on the inside of the oil pan) should also be cleaned with a clean, dry cloth.
NOTE: If the transaxle is disassembled for any reason, the fluid and filter should be changed.
1. Raise vehicle on a hoist. Refer to LUBRICATION and MAINTENANCE for proper procedures.
Place a drain container with a large opening,
under transaxle oil pan.
2. Loosen pan bolts and tap the pan at one corner to break it loose allowing fluid to drain, then
remove the oil pan. 3. Remove nuts at the oil filter. 4. Install a new filter and nuts, tighten to 5 Nm
(40 in. lbs.). 5. Install the fluid filter oil pan, use a bead of MOPAR(R) ATF RTV (MS-GF41). 6.
Clean the oil pan and magnet. Reinstall pan using new MOPAR(R) Silicone Adhesive sealant.
Tighten oil pan bolts to 6 Nm (50 in. lbs.). 7. Pour four Quarts of MOPAR(R) ATF+4 through the
dipstick opening. 8. Start engine and allow to idle for at least one minute. Then, with parking and
service brakes applied, move selector lever momentarily to each
position, ending in the park or neutral position.
9. Check the transaxle fluid level and add an appropriate amount to bring the transaxle fluid level to
3 mm (1/8 in.) below the lowest mark on the
dipstick.
10. Recheck the fluid level after the transaxle has reached normal operating temperature 82° C
(180°F). Refer to Fluid Level and Condition Check for
the proper fluid fill procedure See: Service and Repair/Procedures/Fluid Level and Condition
Check.
11. To prevent dirt from entering transaxle, make certain that dipstick is fully seated into the
dipstick opening.

NOTE: This procedure must be performed if the PCM has been replaced with a NEW or
replacement unit. Failure to perform this procedure
will result in an inoperative or improperly calibrated speedometer.
The vehicle speed readings for the speedometer are taken from the output speed sensor. The
PCM must be calibrated to the different combinations of equipment (final drive and tires) available.
Pinion Factor allows the technician to set the Powertrain Control Module initial setting so that the
speedometer readings will be correct. To properly read and/or reset the Pinion Factor, it is
necessary to use a scan tool.
1. Plug the scan tool into the diagnostic connector located under the instrument panel. 2. Select the
Transmission menu. 3. Select the Miscellaneous menu. 4. Select Pinion Factor. Then follow the

Shift Interlock: Description and Operation Shift Interlock System - Description
DESCRIPTION
The Brake Transmission Shifter/Ignition Interlock (BTSI) is a solenoid operated system that
prevents the transmission gear shifter from being moved out of PARK without a driver in place.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Shift Interlock, A/T >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Shift Interlock System - Description > Page 4579
Shift Interlock: Description and Operation Shift Interlock System - Operation
OPERATION
The Brake Transmission Shifter/Ignition Interlock (BTSI) is engaged whenever the ignition switch is
in the LOCK or ACC position. An additional electrically activated feature will prevent shifting out of
the PARK position unless the brake pedal is depressed at least one-half inch. When the key is in
the ON position and the brake pedal is depressed, the shifter is unlocked and will move into any
position.
When service brake pedal is not depressed the solenoid rotating arm (2) is free to rotate. The
shifter gate pin (1) hits the blocking arm (3) and is prevented from moving from park.
When service brake is applied the rotating arm (2) is prevented from rotating by magnetic force
within the solenoid. The shifter gate pin (1) pushes the rotating arm (2) and blocker arm (3)
allowing the shifter to move out of park.

Shift Interlock: Testing and Inspection
SHIFT INTERLOCK SYSTEM
The following chart describes the normal operation of the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI)
system. If the "expected response" differs from the vehicle's response, then system repair is
necessary.
Refer to the following chart that expected shifter response, depending on ignition key/switch and
brake pedal positions.
If the shifter cannot be moved out of the PARK position, refer to Shifter Locked In Place below. If
the shift lever can be shifted out of PARK without the brake pedal depressed, refer to Circuit Test
below.
SHIFTER LOCKED IN PLACE
1. Gain access to the brake transmission shift interlock (BTSI) solenoid. The solenoid is part of the
shifter assembly. 2. Disconnect the wire connector from the rear of the BTSI solenoid. 3. Insert the
ignition key and turn it to the ON position. 4. With the brakes applied, try moving the shifter out of
the PARK position.
- If the lever now moves freely in and out of PARK, perform the Circuit Test.
If the shift lever now moves freely in and out of the park position, the BTSI solenoid is faulty and
the shifter must be replaced. If the shift lever still does not move from the park position, the
problem is in the shift lever assembly.
If the above test pass and the shifter can still be moved freely in and out of PARK without the brake
pedal depressed, replace shifter assembly.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Torque Converter - Description
Torque Converter: Description and Operation Torque Converter - Description
DESCRIPTION
The torque converter is a hydraulic device that couples the engine crankshaft to the transmission.
The torque converter consists of an outer shell with an internal turbine (1), a stator (4), an
over-running clutch, an impeller (2) and an electronically applied converter clutch (5). The converter
clutch provides reduced engine speed and greater fuel economy when engaged. Clutch
engagement also provides reduced transmission fluid temperatures. The converter clutch engages
in third gear. The torque converter hub (3) drives the transmission oil (fluid) pump.
The torque converter is a sealed, welded unit that is not repairable and is serviced as an assembly.
IMPELLER
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Torque Converter >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Torque Converter - Description > Page 4612
The impeller (3) is an integral part of the converter housing. The impeller consists of curved blades
placed radially along the inside of the housing on the transmission side of the converter. As the
converter housing is rotated by the engine (4,5), so is the impeller, because they are one and the
same and are the driving member of the system.
TURBINE
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Torque Converter >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Torque Converter - Description > Page 4613
The turbine (1) is the output, or driven, member of the converter. The turbine is mounted within the
housing opposite the impeller, but is not attached to the housing. The input shaft (3) is inserted
through the center of the impeller and splined into the turbine. The design of the turbine is similar to
the impeller, except the blades of the turbine are curved in the opposite direction.
STATOR
The stator assembly (1) is mounted on a stationary shaft which is an integral part of the oil pump.
The stator is located between the impeller (2) and turbine (4) within the torque converter case. The
stator contains an over-running clutch, which allows the stator to rotate only in a clockwise
direction. When the stator is locked against the over-running clutch, the torque multiplication
feature of the torque converter is operational.
TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC)
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Torque Converter >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Torque Converter - Description > Page 4614
The TCC was installed to improve the efficiency of the torque converter that is lost to the slippage
of the fluid coupling. Although the fluid coupling provides smooth, shock-free power transfer, it is
natural for all fluid couplings to slip. If the impeller (3) and turbine (5) were mechanically locked
together, a zero slippage condition could be obtained. A hydraulic piston (6) was added to the
turbine (5), and a friction material (7) was added to the inside of the front cover (1) to provide this
mechanical lock-up.
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Torque Converter >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Torque Converter - Description > Page 4615
Torque Converter: Description and Operation Torque Converter - Operation
OPERATION
The converter impeller (driving member), which is integral to the converter housing and bolted to
the engine drive plate, rotates at engine speed. The converter turbine (driven member), which
reacts from fluid pressure generated by the impeller, rotates and turns the transmission input shaft.
TURBINE
As the fluid that was put into motion by the impeller blades strikes the blades of the turbine, some
of the energy and rotational force is transferred into the turbine and the input shaft. This causes
both of them (turbine and input shaft) to rotate in a clockwise direction following the impeller. As the
fluid is leaving the trailing edges of the turbine's blades, it continues in a "hindering" direction back
toward the impeller. If the fluid is not redirected before it strikes the impeller, it will strike the
impeller in such a direction that it would tend to slow it down.
STATOR
Torque multiplication is achieved by locking the stator's over-running clutch to its shaft. Under stall
conditions (the turbine is stationary), the oil leaving the turbine blades strikes the face of the stator
blades and tries to rotate them in a counterclockwise direction. When this happens the
over-running clutch of the stator locks and holds the stator from rotating. With the stator locked, the
oil strikes the stator blades and is redirected into a "helping" direction
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Torque Converter >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Torque Converter - Description > Page 4616
before it enters the impeller. This circulation of oil from impeller to turbine, turbine to stator, and
stator to impeller, can produce a maximum torque multiplication of about 2.4:1. As the turbine
begins to match the speed of the impeller, the fluid that was hitting the stator in such as way as to
cause it to lock-up is no longer doing so. In this condition of operation, the stator begins to free
wheel and the converter acts as a fluid coupling.
TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC)
In a standard torque converter, the impeller and turbine are rotating at about the same speed and
the stator is freewheeling, providing no torque multiplication. By applying the turbine's piston to the
front cover's friction material, a total converter engagement can be obtained. The result of this
engagement is a direct 1:1 mechanical link between the engine and the transmission.
The engagement and disengagement of the TCC are automatic and controlled by the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). The engagement cannot be activated in the lower gears because it
eliminates the torque multiplication effect of the torque converter necessary for acceleration. Inputs
that determine clutch engagement are: coolant temperature, vehicle speed and throttle position.
The torque converter clutch is engaged by the clutch solenoid on the valve body. The clutch will
engage at approximately 56 km/h (35 mph) with light throttle, after the shift to third gear.

Component Information > Description and Operation
Valve Body: Description and Operation
OPERATION
REGULATOR VALVE
The regulator valve controls hydraulic pressure in the transaxle. It receives unregulated pressure
from the pump, which works against spring tension to maintain oil at specific pressures. A system
of sleeves and ports allows the regulator valve to work at one of three predetermined pressure
levels. Regulated oil pressure is also referred to as "line pressure."
SOLENOID SWITCH VALVE
The solenoid switch valve controls line pressure from the LR/CC solenoid. In one position, it allows
the low/reverse clutch to be pressurized. In the other, it directs line pressure to the converter
control and converter clutch valves.
MANUAL VALVE
The manual valve is operated by the mechanical shift linkage. Its primary responsibility is to send
line pressure to the appropriate hydraulic circuits and solenoids. The valve has three operating
ranges or positions.
CONVERTER CLUTCH SWITCH VALVE
The main responsibility of the converter clutch switch valve is to control hydraulic pressure applied
to the front (off) side of the converter clutch piston. Line pressure from the regulator valve is fed to
the torque converter regulator valve, where it passes through the valve, and is slightly regulated.
The pressure is then directed to the converter clutch switch valve and to the front side of the
converter clutch piston. This pressure pushes the piston back and disengages the converter clutch.
CONVERTER CLUTCH CONTROL VALVE
The converter clutch control valve controls the back (on) side of the torque converter clutch. When
the PCM/TCM energizes or modulates the LR/CC solenoid to apply the converter clutch piston,
both the converter clutch control valve and the converter control valve move, allowing pressure to
be applied to the back side of the clutch.
T/C REGULATOR VALVE
The torque converter regulator valve slightly regulates the flow of fluid to the torque converter.
LOW/REVERSE SWITCH VALVE
The low/reverse clutch is applied from different sources, depending on whether low (1st) gear or
reverse is selected. The low/reverse switch valve alternates positions depending on from which
direction fluid pressure is applied. By design, when the valve is shifted by fluid pressure from one
channel, the opposing channel is blocked. The switch valve alienates the possibility of a sticking
ball check, thus providing consistent application of the low/reverse clutch under all operating
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.

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.

Wheel Bearing: Description and Operation Front Hub and Bearing - Description
DESCRIPTION
The front wheel bearing and wheel hub of this vehicle are a one piece sealed unit or hub and
bearing unit type assembly.
The hub and bearing (1) is mounted to the knuckle using four mounting bolts (2) and to the axle
half shaft using a retaining nut. The center of the hub and bearing is splined to match the outer joint
of the axle half shaft.
Each front hub and bearing has five wheel mounting studs on the hub flange for mounting the
wheel to the vehicle. The wheel mounting studs are the only replaceable components of the hub
and bearing. Otherwise, the hub and bearing is serviced as a complete assembly.

HUB AND BEARING
NOTE: The wheel bearing is designed to last for the life of the vehicle and requires no type of
periodic maintenance.
The following procedure may be used for diagnosing the condition of the hub and bearing.
1. Remove the wheel and tire assembly, disc brake caliper and brake rotor. See: Brakes and
Traction Control/Disc Brake System/Brake
Rotor/Disc/Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement/Brake Rotor - Removal
2. Rotate the wheel hub checking for resistance or roughness.
Any roughness or resistance to rotation may indicate dirt intrusion or a failed hub bearing. If the
bearing exhibits any of these conditions, the hub bearing will require replacement. Do not attempt
to disassemble the bearing for repair. If the wheel bearing is disassembled for any reason, it must
be replaced.
Damaged bearing seals and the resulting excessive grease loss may also require hub and bearing
replacement. Moderate grease weeping from the bearing is considered normal and should not
require replacement of the hub and bearing.
To diagnose a bent hub, measure hub runout. See: Brakes and Traction Control/Disc Brake

5. Clean the rotor mounting face of the hub and bearing (1) to remove any dirt or corrosion. 6.
Install the brake rotor (2) over the hub and bearing (1).
CAUTION: If the brake rotor or brake pads are being replaced, the rear caliper piston must be
seated (bottomed) to compensate for the new
brake rotor or lining. Because the parking brake self-adjuster mechanism is attached to the piston,
a special seating method is required. The only acceptable method is by rotating the piston back
into the bore using Retractor, Special Tool 8807, as described below. Any other seating method will
damage the self-adjuster mechanism.
7. If necessary, seat (bottom) the caliper piston in the bore as follows:
a. Assemble a 3/8 in. drive ratchet handle and an extension (3). b. Insert the extension through
Special Tool 8807-1 (2). c. Place Special Tool 8807-2 (1) on the end of the extension. d. Insert lugs
on Special Tool 8807-2 into notches in face of caliper piston (5). e. Thread the screw drive on
8807-1 down until it contacts the top of 8807-2 which is against the caliper piston. Do not over
tighten the
screw-drive. Damage to the piston can occur.
f. Turn 8807-2 with the ratchet, rotating the piston in a clockwise direction until fully seated
(bottomed) in the bore. It may be necessary to turn 8807-1 with 8807-2 to start the process of
piston retraction.

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.

PINION FACTOR SETTING
NOTE: This procedure must be performed if the PCM has been replaced with a NEW or
replacement unit. Failure to perform this procedure
will result in an inoperative or improperly calibrated speedometer.
The vehicle speed readings for the speedometer are taken from the output speed sensor. The
PCM must be calibrated to the different combinations of equipment (final drive and tires) available.
Pinion Factor allows the technician to set the Powertrain Control Module initial setting so that the
speedometer readings will be correct. To properly read and/or reset the Pinion Factor, it is
necessary to use a scan tool.
1. Plug the scan tool into the diagnostic connector located under the instrument panel. 2. Select the
Transmission menu. 3. Select the Miscellaneous menu. 4. Select Pinion Factor. Then follow the
instructions on the scan tool screen.

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.

PINION FACTOR SETTING
NOTE: This procedure must be performed if the PCM has been replaced with a NEW or
replacement unit. Failure to perform this procedure
will result in an inoperative or improperly calibrated speedometer.
The vehicle speed readings for the speedometer are taken from the output speed sensor. The
PCM must be calibrated to the different combinations of equipment (final drive and tires) available.
Pinion Factor allows the technician to set the Powertrain Control Module initial setting so that the
speedometer readings will be correct. To properly read and/or reset the Pinion Factor, it is
necessary to use a scan tool.
1. Plug the scan tool into the diagnostic connector located under the instrument panel. 2. Select the
Transmission menu. 3. Select the Miscellaneous menu. 4. Select Pinion Factor. Then follow the
instructions on the scan tool screen.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation Anti-Lock Brake System Module Description
DESCRIPTION
The Antilock Brake Module (ABM) is a microprocessor-based device which monitors the antilock
brake system (ABS) during normal braking and controls it when the vehicle is in an ABS stop or
when in a traction control situation. The ABM utilizes a 47-way electrical connector on the vehicle
wiring harness. The power source for the ABM is through the ignition switch in the RUN or ON
position.
NOTE: The ABM is only separately serviceable for non-HSA (Hill Start Assist) equipped vehicles.
Do not remove the ABM for vehicles
equipped with HSA.
The ABM (1) is mounted to the HCU (2) as part of the Integrated Control Unit (ICU). The ICU is
located in the engine compartment below the master cylinder on the front suspension
cradle/crossmember. For information on the ICU, See: Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock
Brakes/Description and Operation/Integrated Control Unit (ICU) - Description - DESCRIPTION).

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation Anti-Lock Brake System Module Operation
OPERATION
The primary functions of the Antilock Brake Module (ABM) are to:
- Monitor the antilock brake system for proper operation.
- Detect wheel locking or wheel slipping tendencies by monitoring the speed of all four wheels of
the vehicle.
- Control fluid modulation to the wheel brakes while the system is in an ABS mode.
- Store diagnostic information.
- Provide communication to the scan tool while in diagnostic mode.
- Illuminate the amber ABS warning indicator lamp.
- Illuminate the ESP function lamp in the message center on the instrument panel when a traction
control event occurs.
- Illuminate the ESP function lamp when the amber ABS warning indicator lamp illuminates.
The ABM constantly monitors the antilock brake system for proper operation. If the ABM detects a
fault, it will turn on the amber ABS warning indicator lamp and disable the antilock braking system.
The normal base braking system will remain operational.
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with traction control, the ESP function lamp will illuminate anytime
the amber ABS warning indicator lamp
illuminates.
The ABM continuously monitors the speed of each wheel through the signals generated by the
wheel speed sensors to determine if any wheel is beginning to lock. When a wheel locking
tendency is detected, the ABM commands the ABM command coils to actuate. The coils then open
and close the valves in the HCU that modulate brake fluid pressure in some or all of the hydraulic
circuits. The ABM continues to control pressure in individual hydraulic circuits until a locking
tendency is no longer present.
The ABM contains a self-diagnostic program that monitors the antilock brake system for system
faults. When a fault is detected, the amber ABS warning indicator lamp is turned on and the fault
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is then stored in a diagnostic program memory. A latched fault will
disable certain system functionality for the current ignition cycle. An unlatched fault will disable
certain system functionality until the fault condition disappears. These DTC's will remain in the
ABM memory even after the ignition has been turned off. The DTC's can be read and cleared from
the ABM memory by a technician using a scan tool. If not cleared with a scan tool, the fault
occurrence and DTC will be automatically cleared from the ABM memory after the identical fault
has not been seen during the next 3,500 miles. Drive-off may be required for the amber ABS
warning indicator lamp to go out on the next ignition cycle.

The antilock brake system uses two-wire wheel speed sensors, known as active wheel speed
sensors. The sensors use an electronic principle known as magneto-resistive to help increase
performance and durability. The sensors convert wheel speed into a small digital signal. A Wheel
Speed Sensor (WSS) is used at each wheel. A magnetic pole encoder serves as the trigger
mechanism for each sensor. At each wheel of the vehicle there is one wheel speed sensor and one
encoder.
A front wheel speed sensor (2) is attached to a mounting boss on each front knuckle (3). The
encoder is an integral part of the hub and bearing.

OPERATION
The ABM sends 12 volts to power an Integrated Circuit (IC) in the sensor. The IC supplies a
constant 7 mA power supply to the ABM. The relationship of the magnetic pole encoder to the
permanent magnet in the sensor, signals the IC to enable a second 7 mA power supply. The output
of the sensor, sent to the ABM, is a DC voltage signal with changing voltage and current levels.
The ground for the IC and the current sense circuit is provided by the ABM.
When a pole is properly aligned with the sensor, the voltage signal is approximately 0.8 volts and a
constant 7 mA current is sent to the ABM. As the magnetic pole encoder rotates, the encoder shifts
the magnetic field and the IC enables a second 7 mA current source. The ABM senses a voltage
signal of approximately 1.6 volts and 14 mA. The ABM measures the amperage of the digital signal
for each wheel. The resulting signal is interpreted by the ABM as the wheel speed.

of the sensor, sent to the ABM, is a DC voltage signal with changing voltage and current levels.
The ground for the IC and the current sense circuit is provided by the ABM.
When a pole is properly aligned with the sensor, the voltage signal is approximately 0.8 volts and a
constant 7 mA current is sent to the ABM. As the magnetic pole encoder rotates, the encoder shifts
the magnetic field and the IC enables a second 7 mA current source. The ABM senses a voltage
signal of approximately 1.6 volts and 14 mA. The ABM measures the amperage of the digital signal
for each wheel. The resulting signal is interpreted by the ABM as the wheel speed.

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Base Brake Bleeding
BASE BRAKE BLEEDING
NOTE: This bleeding procedure is only for the vehicle's base brakes hydraulic system. For
bleeding the antilock brakes hydraulic system, See:
CAUTION: Before removing the master cylinder reservoir cap, thoroughly clean the cap and master
cylinder fluid reservoir to prevent dirt
and other foreign matter from dropping into the master cylinder fluid reservoir.
NOTE: The following wheel sequence should be used when bleeding the brake hydraulic system.
The use of this wheel sequence will ensure
adequate removal of all trapped air from the brake hydraulic system.
- Left Rear Wheel
- Right Front Wheel
- Right Rear Wheel
- Left Front Wheel
NOTE: When bleeding the brake system, some air may be trapped in the brake lines far upstream,
as much as ten feet from the bleeder screw.
Therefore, it is essential to have a fast flow of a large volume of brake fluid when bleeding the
brakes to ensure all the air gets out.
Pressure bleeding the brakes is recommended, although the brakes may be manually bled or
pressure bled. Refer to the appropriate following procedure.
PRESSURE BLEEDING PROCEDURE
Follow the pressure bleeder manufacturer's instructions for use of the pressure bleeding
equipment.
1. Install Master Cylinder Pressure Bleed Cap, Special Tool 6921, or equivalent on the master
cylinder fluid reservoir. Attach the fluid hose from the
pressure bleeder to the fitting on Special Tool 6921.
2. Attach a clear plastic hose (1) to the bleeder screw and feed the hose into a clear jar (2)
containing enough fresh brake fluid to submerge the end of
the hose.
3. Open the bleeder screw at least one full turn or more to obtain a steady stream of brake fluid. 4.
After approximately 120-240 ml (4-8 ounces) of fluid have been bled through the brake circuit and
an air-free flow is maintained in the clear
plastic hose and jar, close the bleeder screw.
5. Repeat this procedure at all the remaining bleeder screws. 6. Check and adjust brake fluid level
to the FULL mark on the reservoir. 7. Check brake pedal travel and feel. If pedal travel is excessive
or if the pedal feels excessively spongy, some air may still be trapped in the system.
Re-bleed the brakes as necessary including the IPB Caliper Brake Bleeding Procedure on the rear
calipers as listed below.
8. Test drive the vehicle to verify the brakes are operating properly and pedal feel is correct.
MANUAL BLEEDING PROCEDURE
NOTE: To bleed the brakes manually, the aid of a helper will be required.
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Brake Bleeding > System Information > Service and Repair >
Base Brake Bleeding > Page 5070
1. Attach a clear plastic hose (1) to the bleeder screw and feed the hose into a clear jar (2)
containing enough fresh brake fluid to submerge the end of
the hose.
2. Have a helper pump the brake pedal three or four times and hold it in the down position. 3. With
the pedal in the down position, open the bleeder screw at least one full turn. 4. Once the brake
pedal has dropped, close the bleeder screw. After the bleeder screw is closed, release the brake
pedal. 5. Repeat the above steps until all trapped air is removed from that wheel circuit (usually
four or five times).
6. Bleed the remaining wheel circuits in the same manner until all air is removed from the brake
system. Monitor the fluid level in the master cylinder
reservoir to make sure it does not go dry.
7. Check and adjust brake fluid level to the FULL mark. 8. Check brake pedal travel and feel. If
pedal travel is excessive or if the pedal feels excessively spongy, some air may still be trapped in
the system.
Re-bleed the brakes as necessary including the IPB Caliper Brake Bleeding Procedure on the rear
calipers as listed below.
9. Test drive the vehicle to verify the brakes are operating properly and pedal feel is correct.
IPB CALIPER BRAKE BLEEDING PROCEDURE

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Antilock Brake System Bleeding
ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM BLEEDING
The base brake's hydraulic system must be bled anytime air enters the hydraulic system. The ABS
must always be bled anytime it is suspected that the HCU has ingested air.
Brake systems with ABS must be bled as two independent braking systems. The non-ABS portion
of the brake system with ABS is to be bled the same as any non-ABS system.
The ABS portion of the brake system must be bled separately. Use the following procedure to
properly bleed the brake hydraulic system including the ABS.
NOTE: During the brake bleeding procedure, be sure the brake fluid level remains close to the
FULL level in the master cylinder fluid
reservoir. Check the fluid level periodically during the bleeding procedure and add Mopar(R) DOT 3
brake fluid as required.
BLEEDING
When bleeding the ABS system, the following bleeding sequence must be followed to insure
complete and adequate bleeding.
1. Make sure all hydraulic fluid lines are installed and properly torqued. 2. Connect the scan tool to
the diagnostics connector. The diagnostic connector is located under the lower steering column
cover to the left of the
steering column.
3. Using the scan tool, check to make sure the ABM does not have any fault codes stored. If it
does, clear them.
WARNING: When bleeding the brake system wear safety glasses. A clear bleed tube (1) must be
attached to the bleeder screws and submerged
in a clear container filled part way with clean brake fluid (2). Direct the flow of brake fluid away from
yourself and the painted surfaces of the vehicle. Brake fluid at high pressure may come out of the
bleeder screws when opened.
NOTE: Pressure bleeding is recommended to bleed the base brake system to ensure all air is
removed from system. Manual bleeding may also
be used, but additional time is needed to remove all air from system.
4. Bleed the base brake system. See: 5. Using the scan tool, select ECU VIEW, followed by ABS
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS to access bleeding. Follow the instructions
displayed. When finished, disconnect the scan tool and proceed.
6. Bleed the base brake system a second time. Check brake fluid level in the reservoir periodically
to prevent emptying, causing air to enter the
hydraulic system.
7. Fill the master cylinder fluid reservoir to the FULL level. 8. Test drive the vehicle to be sure the
brakes are operating correctly and that the brake pedal does not feel spongy.

Brake Rotor/Disc: Testing and Inspection
BRAKE ROTOR
Any servicing of the rotor requires extreme care to maintain the rotor within service tolerances to
ensure proper brake action.
Excessive runout or wobble in a rotor can increase pedal travel due to piston knock-back. This
increases guide pin sleeve wear due to the tendency of the caliper to follow the rotor wobble.
When diagnosing a brake noise or pulsation, the machined disc braking surface should be
inspected.
BRAKING SURFACE INSPECTION
Light braking surface scoring and wear is acceptable. If heavy scoring or warping is evident, the
rotor must be refaced or replaced. See: Service and Repair/Procedures.
Excessive wear and scoring of the rotor can cause improper lining contact on the rotor's braking
surface. If the ridges on the rotor are not removed before new brake shoes are installed, improper
wear of the shoes will result.
If a vehicle has not been driven for a period of time, the rotor's braking surface will rust in the areas
not covered by the brake shoes at that time. Once the vehicle is driven, noise and chatter from the
disc brakes can result when the brakes are applied.
Some discoloration or wear of the rotor surface is normal and does not require resurfacing when
linings are replaced. If cracks or burned spots are evident, the rotor must be replaced.
ROTOR MINIMUM THICKNESS
Measure rotor thickness (1) at the center of the brake pad contact surface. Replace the rotor if it is
worn below minimum thickness or if machining the rotor will cause its thickness to fall below
specifications.
CAUTION: Do not machine the rotor if it will cause the rotor to fall below minimum thickness.
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 5144
Minimum thickness specifications are cast on the rotor's un-machined surface (1). Limits can also
be found in this component's specification table. See: Specifications
ROTOR THICKNESS VARIATION
Thickness variation in a rotor's braking surface can result in pedal pulsation, chatter and surge.
This can also be caused by excessive runout in the rotor or the hub.
Rotor thickness variation measurements should be made in conjunction with measuring runout.
Measure thickness of the brake rotor (2) at 12 equal points around the rotor braking surface with a
micrometer (1) at a radius approximately 25 mm (1 inch) from edge of rotor. If thickness
measurements vary beyond the specification listed in the specification table See: Specifications ,
the rotor should be refaced or replaced. See: Service and Repair/Procedures.
ROTOR RUNOUT
On-vehicle rotor runout is the combination of the individual runout of the hub face and the runout of
the brake rotor (hub runout can be measured separately). To measure rotor runout on the vehicle:
1. Raise and support the vehicle. See: Maintenance 2. Remove the tire and wheel assembly. See:
Maintenance/Wheels and Tires/Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement/Tires and Wheels Removal
3. Install standard wheel mounting nuts, flat side to rotor, on all the wheel studs (2). Progressively
tighten the nuts in a crisscross (star) pattern to 135
Nm (100 ft. lbs.).
NOTE: Dial Indicator, Special Tool 9524, can be used in conjunction with C-3339A to measure in
millimeters instead of inches. Dial indicator
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 5145
9524 includes a finer scale to measure lower, tighter tolerances.
4. Mount Dial Indicator (1), Special Tool C-3339A, with Wheel, Special Tool 25w, or equivalent, to
the knuckle. Position the dial indicator wheel to
contact the rotor braking surface approximately 10 millimeters from the outer edge of the rotor (3).
5. Slowly rotate the brake rotor checking lateral runout, marking the low and high spots. Record
these measurements. 6. Check and record the runout on the opposite side of the rotor in the same
fashion, marking the low and high spots. 7. Compare runout measurement to specifications.See:
Specifications
If runout is in excess of specifications, check the lateral runout of the hub face. Before removing the
rotor from the hub, place a chalk mark across both the rotor (1) and the one wheel stud (2) closest
to where the high runout measurement was taken. This way, the original mounting spot of the rotor
on the hub is indexed.
8. Remove the rotor from the hub. See: Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement/Brake
Rotor - Removal
NOTE: Before measuring hub runout, clean the hub face surface with an appropriate cleaner. This
provides a clean surface to get an accurate
indicator reading.
NOTE: Dial Indicator, Special Tool 9524, can be used in conjunction with C-3339A to measure in
millimeters instead of inches. Dial indicator
9524 includes a finer scale to measure lower, tighter tolerances.
9. Mount Dial Indicator (2), Special Tool C-3339A, to the knuckle. Position the dial indicator stem
so it contacts the hub face (1) near the outer
diameter. Care must be taken to position the stem outside of the stud circle, but inside of the
chamfer on the hub rim.
10. Slowly rotate the hub measuring runout. Hub runout should not exceed 0.01 mm (0.0004 inch).
If runout exceeds this specification, the hub must
be replaced. See: Steering and Suspension/Steering/Front Steering Knuckle/Service and
Repair/Front Steering Knuckle - Removal See: Maintenance/Wheels and Tires/Wheel
Bearing/Service and Repair/Rear Hub and Bearing - Removal

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 5146
11. If hub runout does not exceed this specification, install the original rotor back on the hub,
aligning the chalk mark on the rotor (2) with a wheel
mounting stud, two studs apart from the original stud (1).
12. Install standard wheel mounting nuts, flat side to rotor, on all the wheel studs (2). Progressively
tighten the nuts in a crisscross (star) pattern to 135
Nm (100 ft. lbs.).
13. Mount the Dial Indicator (1), Special Tool C-3339A, and remeasure runout on both sides of the
brake rotor as explained in earlier steps to see if
runout is now within specifications. See: Specifications
14. If runout is still not within specifications, reface or replace brake rotor. See: Service and
Repair/Procedures

Brake Rotor/Disc: Procedures
BRAKE ROTOR MACHINING
NOTE: Refacing the rotor is not required each time the brake pads are replaced, only when the
need is foreseen.
Any servicing of the rotor requires extreme care to maintain the rotor within service tolerances to
ensure proper brake action.
If the rotor surface is deeply scored or warped, or there is a complaint of brake roughness or brake
pedal pulsation, the rotor should be refaced using a hub-mounted on-car brake lathe (1), or
replaced.
The use of a hub-mounted on-car brake lathe (1) is highly recommended to eliminate the possibility
of excessive runout. It trues the brake rotor to the vehicle's hub and bearing.
NOTE: All brake rotors (2) have markings for minimum allowable thickness cast on an
un-machined surface of the rotor (1) or stamped into
the hat section. Minimum thickness specifications can also be found in this component's
specification table. See: Specifications
Minimum allowable thickness is the minimum thickness which the brake rotor machined surface
may be cut to.
CAUTION: Do not machine the rotor if it will cause the rotor to fall below minimum thickness.
Before lathe installation, verify the brake rotor face and the hub adapters are free of any chips, rust,
or contamination.
When mounting and using the brake lathe, strict attention to the brake lathe manufacturer's
operating instructions is required.
Machine both sides of the brake rotor at the same time. Cutting both sides at the same time
minimizes the possibility of a tapered or uneven cut.
When refacing a rotor, the required TIR (Total Indicator Reading) and thickness variation limits
MUST BE MAINTAINED. Extreme care in the operation of rotor turning equipment is required.
Specifications for brake rotor machining can be founds specification table. See: Specifications

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Base Brake Bleeding
BASE BRAKE BLEEDING
NOTE: This bleeding procedure is only for the vehicle's base brakes hydraulic system. For
bleeding the antilock brakes hydraulic system, See:
CAUTION: Before removing the master cylinder reservoir cap, thoroughly clean the cap and master
cylinder fluid reservoir to prevent dirt
and other foreign matter from dropping into the master cylinder fluid reservoir.
NOTE: The following wheel sequence should be used when bleeding the brake hydraulic system.
The use of this wheel sequence will ensure
adequate removal of all trapped air from the brake hydraulic system.
- Left Rear Wheel
- Right Front Wheel
- Right Rear Wheel
- Left Front Wheel
NOTE: When bleeding the brake system, some air may be trapped in the brake lines far upstream,
as much as ten feet from the bleeder screw.
Therefore, it is essential to have a fast flow of a large volume of brake fluid when bleeding the
brakes to ensure all the air gets out.
Pressure bleeding the brakes is recommended, although the brakes may be manually bled or
pressure bled. Refer to the appropriate following procedure.
PRESSURE BLEEDING PROCEDURE
Follow the pressure bleeder manufacturer's instructions for use of the pressure bleeding
equipment.
1. Install Master Cylinder Pressure Bleed Cap, Special Tool 6921, or equivalent on the master
cylinder fluid reservoir. Attach the fluid hose from the
pressure bleeder to the fitting on Special Tool 6921.
2. Attach a clear plastic hose (1) to the bleeder screw and feed the hose into a clear jar (2)
containing enough fresh brake fluid to submerge the end of
the hose.
3. Open the bleeder screw at least one full turn or more to obtain a steady stream of brake fluid. 4.
After approximately 120-240 ml (4-8 ounces) of fluid have been bled through the brake circuit and
an air-free flow is maintained in the clear
plastic hose and jar, close the bleeder screw.
5. Repeat this procedure at all the remaining bleeder screws. 6. Check and adjust brake fluid level
to the FULL mark on the reservoir. 7. Check brake pedal travel and feel. If pedal travel is excessive
or if the pedal feels excessively spongy, some air may still be trapped in the system.
Re-bleed the brakes as necessary including the IPB Caliper Brake Bleeding Procedure on the rear
calipers as listed below.
8. Test drive the vehicle to verify the brakes are operating properly and pedal feel is correct.
MANUAL BLEEDING PROCEDURE
NOTE: To bleed the brakes manually, the aid of a helper will be required.
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Hydraulic System, Brakes > Brake Bleeding > System
Information > Service and Repair > Base Brake Bleeding > Page 5160
1. Attach a clear plastic hose (1) to the bleeder screw and feed the hose into a clear jar (2)
containing enough fresh brake fluid to submerge the end of
the hose.
2. Have a helper pump the brake pedal three or four times and hold it in the down position. 3. With
the pedal in the down position, open the bleeder screw at least one full turn. 4. Once the brake
pedal has dropped, close the bleeder screw. After the bleeder screw is closed, release the brake
pedal. 5. Repeat the above steps until all trapped air is removed from that wheel circuit (usually
four or five times).
6. Bleed the remaining wheel circuits in the same manner until all air is removed from the brake
system. Monitor the fluid level in the master cylinder
reservoir to make sure it does not go dry.
7. Check and adjust brake fluid level to the FULL mark. 8. Check brake pedal travel and feel. If
pedal travel is excessive or if the pedal feels excessively spongy, some air may still be trapped in
the system.
Re-bleed the brakes as necessary including the IPB Caliper Brake Bleeding Procedure on the rear
calipers as listed below.
9. Test drive the vehicle to verify the brakes are operating properly and pedal feel is correct.
IPB CALIPER BRAKE BLEEDING PROCEDURE

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Antilock Brake System Bleeding
ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM BLEEDING
The base brake's hydraulic system must be bled anytime air enters the hydraulic system. The ABS
must always be bled anytime it is suspected that the HCU has ingested air.
Brake systems with ABS must be bled as two independent braking systems. The non-ABS portion
of the brake system with ABS is to be bled the same as any non-ABS system.
The ABS portion of the brake system must be bled separately. Use the following procedure to
properly bleed the brake hydraulic system including the ABS.
NOTE: During the brake bleeding procedure, be sure the brake fluid level remains close to the
FULL level in the master cylinder fluid
reservoir. Check the fluid level periodically during the bleeding procedure and add Mopar(R) DOT 3
brake fluid as required.
BLEEDING
When bleeding the ABS system, the following bleeding sequence must be followed to insure
complete and adequate bleeding.
1. Make sure all hydraulic fluid lines are installed and properly torqued. 2. Connect the scan tool to
the diagnostics connector. The diagnostic connector is located under the lower steering column
cover to the left of the
steering column.
3. Using the scan tool, check to make sure the ABM does not have any fault codes stored. If it
does, clear them.
WARNING: When bleeding the brake system wear safety glasses. A clear bleed tube (1) must be
attached to the bleeder screws and submerged
in a clear container filled part way with clean brake fluid (2). Direct the flow of brake fluid away from
yourself and the painted surfaces of the vehicle. Brake fluid at high pressure may come out of the
bleeder screws when opened.
NOTE: Pressure bleeding is recommended to bleed the base brake system to ensure all air is
removed from system. Manual bleeding may also
be used, but additional time is needed to remove all air from system.
4. Bleed the base brake system. See: 5. Using the scan tool, select ECU VIEW, followed by ABS
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS to access bleeding. Follow the instructions
displayed. When finished, disconnect the scan tool and proceed.

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: Description and Operation
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(R) Brake Fluid or 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. Swelling indicates 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 the fluid
separates into layers, there is mineral oil or other fluid contamination of the brake fluid.
If the brake fluid is contaminated, drain and thoroughly flush the brake system. Replace all the
rubber parts or components containing rubber coming into contact with the brake fluid including:
the master cylinder and reservoir; proportioning valves (non-ABS); caliper seals; wheel cylinder
seals; ABS hydraulic control unit; and all hydraulic fluid hoses.

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL CHECKING
NOTE: Brake fluid level should be checked a minimum of twice a year.
Master cylinder reservoirs are marked, FULL and ADD, indicating the allowable brake fluid level
range in the master cylinder fluid reservoir.
CAUTION: Use only Mopar(R) Brake Fluid DOT 3 Motor Vehicle or equivalent from a tightly sealed
container. Do not use petroleum-based
fluid because seal damage in the brake system will result. See: Specifications
NOTE: Although there is a range, the preferred level is FULL.
1. Remove the cap. 2. Adjust the brake fluid level to the FULL mark listed on the side of the master
cylinder fluid reservoir as necessary. Do not overfill the system. 3. Install the cap.

Brake Hose/Line: Service and Repair
INSPECTION
Brake tubing should be inspected periodically for evidence of physical damage or contact with
moving or hot components.
Flexible rubber hose is used at both the front and rear wheel brakes. Inspection of the flexible
brake hoses should be performed whenever the brake system is serviced and every 12,000 km
(7,500 miles) or 12 months, whichever comes first. Inspect hydraulic brake hoses for surface
cracking, scuffing, or worn spots. If the fabric casing of the hose becomes exposed due to cracks
or abrasions in the hose cover, the hose should be replaced immediately. Eventual deterioration of
the hose can take place with possible burst failure. Faulty installation can cause twisting, resulting
in wheel, tire, or chassis interference.
NOTE: This vehicle is equipped with more than one size (diameter) brake tube depending on
location on the vehicle. If a brake tube must be
replaced, always use the same size brake tubing as that being replaced. Never use under-size
brake tubing.

Brake Master Cylinder: Description and Operation Brake Master Cylinder - Description
DESCRIPTION
All master cylinders (2) are a two-outlet design and the brake tubes from these primary and
secondary outlet ports lead directly to the Integrated Control Unit (ICU) before going to each wheel
brake.
All master cylinders mount to the power brake booster in the same manner.
The master cylinder body is an anodized aluminum casting. It has a machined bore to accept the
master cylinder pistons and also has threaded ports with seats for hydraulic brake tube
connections.
The master cylinder has the brake fluid reservoir mounted on top of it which gravity feeds brake
fluid to the master cylinder when it is required. On manual transmission model vehicles the brake
fluid reservoir also feeds the clutch hydraulic circuit. The reservoir is made of see-through plastic
and it houses the brake fluid level switch. A removable brake fluid level switch is mounted in the
right side.

Brake Master Cylinder: Description and Operation Brake Master Cylinder - Operation
OPERATION
When the brake pedal is pressed, the master cylinder primary and secondary pistons apply brake
pressure through the chassis brake tubes to each brake assembly. The brake fluid reservoir
supplies the brake hydraulic system with the necessary fluid to operate properly.
The master cylinder's outlet ports supply hydraulic pressure to the Integrated Control Unit (ICU)
where it is distributed to the individual wheel brakes.
The master cylinder reservoir cap diaphragm is slit to allow atmospheric pressure to equalize on
both sides of the diaphragm.

1. Clamp the master cylinder in a vise with soft-jaw caps.
2. Thread a Bleeder Tube (2), Special Tool 8358-1, into the primary and secondary ports. Tighten
bleeder tube nuts to 17 Nm (150 in. lbs.). 3. Flex each Bleeder Tube and place the open ends into
the neck of the master cylinder reservoir. Position the open ends of the tubes into the
reservoir so their outlets are below the surface of the brake fluid in the reservoir when filled.
NOTE: Make sure the ends of the Bleeder Tubes stay below the surface of the brake fluid in the
reservoir at all times during the bleeding
procedure.
4. Fill the brake fluid reservoir with fresh Mopar(R) Brake Fluid DOT 3 Motor Vehicle, or equivalent.
See: Brake Fluid/Specifications
5. Using an appropriately sized wooden dowel as a pushrod (1), slowly press the pistons inward
discharging brake fluid through the Bleeder Tubes
(2), then release the pressure, allowing the pistons to return to the released position. Repeat this
several times until all air bubbles are expelled from the master cylinder bore and Bleeder Tubes.
6. Remove the Bleeder Tubes from the master cylinder and plug the master cylinder outlet ports. 7.
Install the fill cap on the reservoir. 8. Remove the master cylinder from the vise. 9. Install the

Parking Brake Warning Switch: Description and Operation Parking Brake Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
There are two unique park brake switches used on this vehicle, depending upon whether the
vehicle has a foot-operated or hand-operated park brake lever mechanism.
FOOT-OPERATED
Foot-Operated Park Brake Switch
The foot-operated park brake switch (1) is located on the park brake lever mechanism on the cowl
side inner panel below the instrument panel, outboard 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 foot-operated park brake switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged,
it must be replaced.
HAND-OPERATED
Hand-Operated Park Brake Switch
The hand-operated park brake switch (1) is located on the park brake lever mechanism on the floor
panel transmission tunnel below the center floor console. This switch includes a spade-type output
terminal (2) 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 (4) 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 (3) with an integral grounding lug
on one end and an integral actuating lever and follower on the opposite end. The switch is secured
to and grounded by a single screw to the park brake lever mechanism.
The hand-operated 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
Both the foot-operated and hand-operated park brake switch are normally closed, mechanically
actuated leaf contact switches that are operated by the foot or hand 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 as a logic input by the EMIC 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.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the
electronic controls and communication between other modules and devices that rely upon inputs
from the park brake switch. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the
electronic controls and communication related to park brake switch operation requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

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 battery negative
(ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing
further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper
precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
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.

Vacuum Brake Booster: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The power brake booster (3) is mounted to the engine side of the dash panel. The master cylinder
is bolted to the front of the booster. A vacuum check valve is also mounted on the front of the
booster. A vacuum line connects the check valve to engine source vacuum. The booster input rod
extends through the dash panel and connects to the brake pedal.
This vehicle uses a tandem diaphragm, single rate vacuum power brake booster with 203 and 229
mm (8 and 9 in.) diaphragms. Power brake boosters are internally tuned differently depending on
whether the vehicle is equipped with ABS or without ABS. If the power brake booster requires
replacement, be sure it is replaced with the correct part.
The power brake booster can be identified by the tag attached to the body of the booster. This tag
contains the following information:
- The production part number
- The date it was built, and
- The booster manufacturer.

Vacuum Brake Booster: Testing and Inspection
POWER BRAKE BOOSTER
BASIC TEST
1. With engine off, depress and release the brake pedal several times to purge all vacuum from the
power brake booster. 2. Depress and hold the pedal with light effort (15 to 25 lbs. (6.8 to 11.3 kg)
pressure), then start the engine.
The pedal should fall slightly, then hold. Less effort should be needed to apply the pedal at this
time. If the pedal fell as indicated, perform the VACUUM LEAK TEST listed after the BASIC TEST.
If the pedal did not fall, continue on with this BASIC TEST.
3. Disconnect the vacuum hose at the vacuum check and tee-in a vacuum gauge. 4. Start the
engine. 5. When the engine is at warm operating temperature, allow it to idle and check the
vacuum at the gauge.
If the vacuum supply is 12 inches Hg (40.5 kPa) or more, the power brake booster is defective and
must be replaced. If the vacuum supply is below 12 inches Hg, continue on with this BASIC TEST.
6. Shut off the engine. 7. Connect the vacuum gauge to the vacuum reference port on the engine
intake manifold. 8. Start the engine and observe the vacuum gauge.
If the vacuum is still low, check the engine tune and repair as necessary. If the vacuum is above 12
inches, the hose or check to the booster has a restriction or leak.
Once an adequate vacuum supply is obtained, repeat the BASIC TEST.
VACUUM LEAK TEST
1. Disconnect the vacuum hose at the vacuum check and tee-in a vacuum gauge. 2. Start the
engine. 3. Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature and engine idle. 4. Using
vacuum line pliers, close off the vacuum supply hose near the booster and observe the vacuum
gauge.
If the vacuum drop exceeds 1.0 inch Hg (3.3 kPa) in one minute, repeat the above steps to confirm
the reading. The vacuum loss should be less than 1.0 inch Hg in one minute time span. If the loss
is more than 1.0 inch Hg, replace the power brake booster. If it is not, continue on with this test.
5. Remove the pliers from the hose temporarily. 6. Apply light effort (approximately 15 lbs. (6.8 kg)
of force) to the brake pedal and hold the pedal steady. Do not move the pedal once the pressure
is applied or the test results may vary.
7. Have an assistant reattach the pliers to the vacuum supply hose. 8. Allow 5 seconds for
stabilization, then observe the vacuum gauge.
If the vacuum drop exceeds 3.0 inches Hg (10 kPa) in 15 seconds, repeat the above steps to
confirm the reading. The vacuum loss should be less than 3.0 inches Hg in 15 seconds time span.
If the loss is more than 3.0 inches Hg, replace the power brake booster. If it is not, the booster is
not defective.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation Anti-Lock Brake System Module Description
DESCRIPTION
The Antilock Brake Module (ABM) is a microprocessor-based device which monitors the antilock
brake system (ABS) during normal braking and controls it when the vehicle is in an ABS stop or
when in a traction control situation. The ABM utilizes a 47-way electrical connector on the vehicle
wiring harness. The power source for the ABM is through the ignition switch in the RUN or ON
position.
NOTE: The ABM is only separately serviceable for non-HSA (Hill Start Assist) equipped vehicles.
Do not remove the ABM for vehicles
equipped with HSA.
The ABM (1) is mounted to the HCU (2) as part of the Integrated Control Unit (ICU). The ICU is
located in the engine compartment below the master cylinder on the front suspension
cradle/crossmember. For information on the ICU, See: Antilock Brakes / Traction Control
Systems/Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes/Description and Operation/Integrated
Control Unit (ICU) - Description - DESCRIPTION).

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation Anti-Lock Brake System Module Operation
OPERATION
The primary functions of the Antilock Brake Module (ABM) are to:
- Monitor the antilock brake system for proper operation.
- Detect wheel locking or wheel slipping tendencies by monitoring the speed of all four wheels of
the vehicle.
- Control fluid modulation to the wheel brakes while the system is in an ABS mode.
- Store diagnostic information.
- Provide communication to the scan tool while in diagnostic mode.
- Illuminate the amber ABS warning indicator lamp.
- Illuminate the ESP function lamp in the message center on the instrument panel when a traction
control event occurs.
- Illuminate the ESP function lamp when the amber ABS warning indicator lamp illuminates.
The ABM constantly monitors the antilock brake system for proper operation. If the ABM detects a
fault, it will turn on the amber ABS warning indicator lamp and disable the antilock braking system.
The normal base braking system will remain operational.
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with traction control, the ESP function lamp will illuminate anytime
the amber ABS warning indicator lamp
illuminates.
The ABM continuously monitors the speed of each wheel through the signals generated by the
wheel speed sensors to determine if any wheel is beginning to lock. When a wheel locking
tendency is detected, the ABM commands the ABM command coils to actuate. The coils then open
and close the valves in the HCU that modulate brake fluid pressure in some or all of the hydraulic
circuits. The ABM continues to control pressure in individual hydraulic circuits until a locking
tendency is no longer present.
The ABM contains a self-diagnostic program that monitors the antilock brake system for system
faults. When a fault is detected, the amber ABS warning indicator lamp is turned on and the fault
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is then stored in a diagnostic program memory. A latched fault will
disable certain system functionality for the current ignition cycle. An unlatched fault will disable
certain system functionality until the fault condition disappears. These DTC's will remain in the
ABM memory even after the ignition has been turned off. The DTC's can be read and cleared from
the ABM memory by a technician using a scan tool. If not cleared with a scan tool, the fault
occurrence and DTC will be automatically cleared from the ABM memory after the identical fault
has not been seen during the next 3,500 miles. Drive-off may be required for the amber ABS
warning indicator lamp to go out on the next ignition cycle.

Parking Brake Warning Switch: Description and Operation Parking Brake Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
There are two unique park brake switches used on this vehicle, depending upon whether the
vehicle has a foot-operated or hand-operated park brake lever mechanism.
FOOT-OPERATED
Foot-Operated Park Brake Switch
The foot-operated park brake switch (1) is located on the park brake lever mechanism on the cowl
side inner panel below the instrument panel, outboard 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 foot-operated park brake switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged,
it must be replaced.
HAND-OPERATED
Hand-Operated Park Brake Switch
The hand-operated park brake switch (1) is located on the park brake lever mechanism on the floor
panel transmission tunnel below the center floor console. This switch includes a spade-type output
terminal (2) 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 (4) 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 (3) with an integral grounding lug
on one end and an integral actuating lever and follower on the opposite end. The switch is secured
to and grounded by a single screw to the park brake lever mechanism.
The hand-operated 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
Both the foot-operated and hand-operated park brake switch are normally closed, mechanically
actuated leaf contact switches that are operated by the foot or hand 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 as a logic input by the EMIC 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.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the
electronic controls and communication between other modules and devices that rely upon inputs
from the park brake switch. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the
electronic controls and communication related to park brake switch operation requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

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 battery negative
(ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing
further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper
precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
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. Disconnect the body wire harness connector
for the park brake switch from the switch terminal.

OPERATION
The ABM sends 12 volts to power an Integrated Circuit (IC) in the sensor. The IC supplies a
constant 7 mA power supply to the ABM. The relationship of the magnetic pole encoder to the
permanent magnet in the sensor, signals the IC to enable a second 7 mA power supply. The output
of the sensor, sent to the ABM, is a DC voltage signal with changing voltage and current levels.
The ground for the IC and the current sense circuit is provided by the ABM.
When a pole is properly aligned with the sensor, the voltage signal is approximately 0.8 volts and a
constant 7 mA current is sent to the ABM. As the magnetic pole encoder rotates, the encoder shifts
the magnetic field and the IC enables a second 7 mA current source. The ABM senses a voltage
signal of approximately 1.6 volts and 14 mA. The ABM measures the amperage of the digital signal
for each wheel. The resulting signal is interpreted by the ABM as the wheel speed.
Rear
OPERATION
The ABM sends 12 volts to power an Integrated Circuit (IC) in the sensor. The IC supplies a
constant 7 mA power supply to the ABM. The relationship of the magnetic pole encoder to the
permanent magnet in the sensor, signals the IC to enable a second 7 mA power supply. The output
of the sensor, sent to the ABM, is a DC voltage signal with changing voltage and current levels.
The ground for the IC and the current sense circuit is provided by the ABM.
When a pole is properly aligned with the sensor, the voltage signal is approximately 0.8 volts and a
constant 7 mA current is sent to the ABM. As the magnetic pole encoder rotates, the encoder shifts
the magnetic field and the IC enables a second 7 mA current source. The ABM senses a voltage
signal of approximately 1.6 volts and 14 mA. The ABM measures the amperage of the digital signal
for each wheel. The resulting signal is interpreted by the ABM as the wheel speed.

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

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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Sensors and Switches - Starting and Charging > Ignition Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5427
- 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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Sensors and Switches - Starting and Charging > Ignition Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5428
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.

Ignition Switch: Description and Operation Wireless Ignition Node Receiver - Description
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) (1). The WIN and the FOB with
Integrated Key (FOBIK) are the primary components of the keyless ignition system. The only visible
component of the WIN is the ignition switch (5) located on the face of the instrument panel just to
the inboard side of the steering column.
The WIN housing is constructed of molded black plastic and it includes four integral mounting
bosses (4), which are secured to the instrument panel structure with screws. Two connector
receptacles are integral to the back of the switch housing. One (3) connects the WIN to the vehicle
electrical system through a dedicated takeout and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The other (2) is a dedicated connector for the coaxial cable input from the optional remote start
system external antenna module.
The WIN is an integrated electronic receiver that replaces the ignition switch. It communicates with
other electronic modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The WIN interfaces with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) FOBIK and the Tire Pressure Monitor
(TPM) sensors (if equipped) using Radio Frequency (RF) communication, with the Sentry Key
Immobilizer System (SKIS) transponder within the FOBIK using Low Frequency (LF)
communication. It also communicates with the TPM trigger transponders (if equipped) and steering
column lock module (if equipped) using a Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus connection.
The WIN provides a switched 12-volt source through an isolated switch for the steering column lock
module required for certain export market vehicles. It also contains a key removal inhibit solenoid,
an electronic Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) solenoid, a key-in warning contact and it
serves as the real time vehicle clock by transmitting the clock information to other electronic
modules over the CAN data bus.
The WIN cannot be adjusted or repaired, but is flash update capable. If ineffective or damaged, the
entire WIN must be replaced. When replacing the WIN, you must also replace the steering column
lock module (if equipped).

Ignition Switch: Description and Operation Wireless Ignition Node Receiver - Operation
OPERATION
Following are brief descriptions of the systems that the WIN controls.
IGNITION SWITCH
The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) incorporates an integral ignition switch that consists of four rotary
positions with three detent positions and one spring-loaded position. The one extreme clockwise
position is a spring-loaded momentary contact "START" position. When released from the "START"
position, the switch will automatically return to the detent "ON" position. The other position includes
a detent "ACCESSORY" position and a detent "LOCK" position.
The WIN reads the position of the ignition switch and transmits the data via the CAN data bus.
These positions include "LOCK" with ignition key-out, "LOCK" with ignition key-in,
"ACCESSORY,""RUN," and "START."
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (SKIS)
Upon failure of proper Sentry Key Immobilizer (SKIS) communication to the Powertrain Control
Module, (PCM), the PCM will not allow the vehicle to crank. The engine will not re-crank on the key
cycle that the failure occurred, a full key down sequence must be performed for the engine to crank
again. See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Description and
Operation/Vehicle Theft Security System - Operation.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), transmitter uses Radio Frequency (RF) signals to communicate
with the WIN, and the WIN relays the RKE requests to other modules in the vehicle over the CAN
data bus. See: Body and Frame/Locks/Power Locks/Description and Operation/Power Locks Operation
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING (TPM)
The Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system uses radio and sensor technology to monitor tire air
pressure levels. See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Tire Monitoring
System/Description and Operation/Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) - Operation.
REMOTE START WITH/EXTENDED RANGE ANTENNA
Further information concerning the Remote Start System. See: Starting System/Keyless Starting
System/Description and Operation/Starting System - Operation
BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK (BTSI)
The Brake Transmission Shifter/Ignition Interlock (BTSI) is controlled by the WIN. The BTSI
prevents the transmission gear shifter from being moved out of PARK without a driver in place.
PARK SHIFT INTERLOCK
The key removal inhibit solenoid internal to the WIN prevents the FOB with Integrated KEY
(FOBIK) from being rotated in the ignition switch to the LOCK position for all vehicles with an
automatic transmission unless the transmission shift lever is in the PARK position. The WIN
module monitors a hard wired input from a switch integral to the automatic transmission shifter
module to control this feature. The key removal inhibit solenoid is electronically disabled internally
by the WIN on vehicles with a manual transmission.

DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Wireless Ignition Node (WIN). The WIN, along with the FOB with
Integrated Key (FOBIK) are the primary components of the keyless ignition system. The only visible
component of the WIN is the ignition switch located on the face of the instrument panel just to the
inboard side of the steering column. The remainder of the WIN including its mounting provisions
and electrical connections are concealed within the instrument panel.
In addition to replacing a conventional keyed ignition switch, the WIN is an integrated electronic
receiver that serves as the base station in the vehicle. It communicates with other electronic
modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The WIN interfaces with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) FOBIK and the Tire Pressure Monitor
(TPM) sensors (if equipped) using Radio Frequency (RF) communication, with the Sentry Key
Immobilizer System (SKIS) transponder within the FOBIK using Low Frequency (LF) RF
communication.
The WIN cannot be adjusted or repaired, but is flash update capable. If ineffective or damaged the
entire WIN must be replaced See: Service and Repair/Wireless Ignition Node Receiver - Removal.

Ignition Switch: Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
FOBIK TRAPPED IN WIN
The Fob with Integrated Key (FOBIK) cannot be rotated to the LOCK position, allowing it to be
removed from the ignition switch also referred to as the Wireless Ignition Node/WIN. The automatic
transmission or transaxle is shifted mechanically through a cable from the gearshift lever
mechanism to the transmission or transaxle valve body. A gated park switch is physically located
on and integral to the gearshift lever mechanism and is hard wired directly to the WIN. The gated
park switch is a simple plunger-like actuated open or closed contact switch that could be
considered redundant to the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) except that it monitors the position
selected with the gearshift lever, while the TRS monitors the position or gear of the transmission or
transaxle that is actually engaged. A damaged or improperly adjusted gearshift cable could result in
a different gear being engaged than that which is selected. The WIN uses the gated park switch
input to control an internal key lock solenoid, which controls whether the FOBIK can be rotated to
the LOCK position. When the gearshift lever is not in the PARK position, the gated park switch is a
closed circuit, the key lock solenoid is energized and the FOBIK cannot be rotated to the LOCK
position for removal.

CAUTION: When using another vehicle as a booster, do not allow vehicles to touch. Electrical
systems can be damaged on either vehicle.
NOTE: For information on accessing the battery for service or replacement See: Service and
Repair/Removal and Replacement/Battery Removal
TO JUMP START A DISABLED VEHICLE:
WARNING:
- Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can start anytime the
ignition switch is ON. You can be hurt by the fan.
- Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. Vehicles equipped with an automatic
transaxle cannot be started this way. Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic converter and once
the engine has started, ignite and damage the converter and vehicle. If the vehicle has a
discharged battery, booster cables may be used to obtain a start from another vehicle. This type of
start can be dangerous if done improperly, so follow this procedure carefully.
- Do not use a booster battery or any other booster source with an output that exceeds 12 Volts.
WARNING:
- Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution; do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin, or
clothing. Don't lean over battery when attaching clamps or allow the clamps to touch each other. If
acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush contaminated area immediately with large quantities of
water.
- A battery generates hydrogen gas, which is flammable and explosive. Keep flame or spark away
from the vent holes.
NOTE: The battery is stored in a compartment that is located behind the left front fender and is
accessible through the wheel well. Remote
jump-start terminals are located in the engine compartment.
1. Wear eye protection and remove any metal jewelry such as watchbands or bracelets that might
make an inadvertent electrical contact. 2. When boosting from a battery in another vehicle, park
that vehicle within booster cable reach, but without allowing the vehicles to touch. Set
parking brake, place automatic transaxle in PARK, and turn ignition to LOCK for both vehicles.
WARNING: Do not permit vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground connection
and personal injury could result.
3. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical loads.

terminal of the booster battery.
5. Connect the other cable, first to the negative terminal of the booster battery and then to the
engine ground (-) of the vehicle with the discharged
battery (5). Make sure you have a good contact on the engine ground.
6. If the vehicle is equipped with Sentry Key Immobilizer, turn the ignition switch to the ON position
for three seconds before moving the ignition
switch to the START position.
7. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a few minutes, and
then start the engine in the vehicle with the
discharged battery.
8. When removing the jumper cables, reverse the sequence exactly. Be careful of the moving belts
and fan. 9. Reinstall the protective cover over the remote jump-start positive battery post.
WARNING: During cold weather when temperatures are below freezing point, electrolyte in a
discharged battery may freeze. Do not attempt
jump-starting because the battery could rupture or explode. The battery temperature must be
brought up above freezing point before attempting jump-start.
WARNING: Any procedure other than above could result in:
- Personal injury caused by electrolyte squirting out the battery vent;
- Personal injury or property damage due to battery explosion;
Damage to charging system of booster vehicle or of immobilized vehicle.

Battery Cable: Description and Operation Battery Cables - Description
DESCRIPTION
The battery cables are large gauge, stranded copper wires sheathed within a heavy plastic or
synthetic rubber insulating jacket. The wire used in the battery cables combines excellent flexibility
and reliability with high electrical current carrying capacity. The battery cables feature a clamping
type female battery terminal made of stamped sheet metal that is die cast onto one end of the
battery cable wire. A pinch-bolt and nut are installed at the open end of the female battery terminal
clamp. Large eyelet type terminals are crimped onto the opposite end of the battery cable wire and
then soldered. The battery positive cable wires feature a larger female battery terminal clamp to
allow connection to the larger battery positive terminal post. The battery negative cable wires have
a smaller female battery terminal clamp.
There are two separate battery cable harnesses used on this vehicle. The battery harness includes
both the battery positive and negative cables to the remote battery connection and may include
portions of the wiring circuits for other components on some vehicles. The starter harness includes
both the battery positive and negative cables from the remote battery connection down to the
starter and engine ground location. These two harnesses are sold as separate assemblies.

Battery Cable: Description and Operation Battery Cables - Operation
OPERATION
The battery cables connect the battery terminal posts to the vehicle electrical system. These cables
also provide a path back to the battery for electrical current generated by the charging system for
restoring the voltage potential of the battery. The female battery terminal clamps on the ends of the
battery cable wires provide a strong and reliable connection of the battery cable to the battery
terminal posts. The terminal pinch bolts allow the female terminal clamps to be tightened around
the male terminal posts on the top of the battery. The eyelet terminals secured to the opposite ends
of the battery cable wires from the female battery terminal clamps provide secure and reliable
connection of the battery cables to the vehicle electrical system.
One wire has an eyelet terminal that connects the battery positive cable to the B(+) terminal stud of
the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM), and the other wire has an eyelet terminal that
connects the battery positive cable to the B(+) terminal stud of the engine starter motor solenoid.
The battery negative cable terminal clamp has one wire as an eyelet terminal that connects the
battery negative cable to the vehicle powertrain through a ground connection, typically on the
engine cylinder block.

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 cable. If excessive resistance is found in the battery cable connections,
the connection point should be disassembled, cleaned of all corrosion or foreign material, then
reassembled. Following reassembly, check the voltage drop for the battery cable connection and
the battery cable again to confirm repair.
When performing the voltage drop test, it is important to remember that the voltage drop is giving
an indication of the resistance between the two points at which the voltmeter probes are attached.
EXAMPLE: When testing the resistance of the battery positive cable, touch the voltmeter leads to
the battery positive cable terminal clamp and to the battery positive cable eyelet terminal at the
starter solenoid B(+) terminal stud. If you probe the battery positive terminal post and the battery
positive cable eyelet terminal at the starter solenoid B(+) terminal stud, you are reading the
combined voltage drop in the battery positive cable terminal clamp-to-terminal post connection and
the battery positive cable.
VOLTAGE DROP TEST
The following operation will require a voltmeter accurate to 1/10 (0.10) volt. Before performing this
test, be certain that the following procedures are accomplished:
- The battery is fully-charged and load tested. Refer to Standard Procedures for the proper battery
charging and load test procedures. See: Service and Repair/Procedures/Battery Charging
- Fully engage the parking brake.
- If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, place the gearshift selector lever in the
Park position. If the vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission, place the gearshift selector
lever in the Neutral position and block the clutch pedal in the fully depressed position.
- Verify that all lamps and accessories are turned off.
- To prevent the engine from starting, remove the Automatic Shut Down (ASD) relay. The ASD
relay can be found in the Junction Block located in the left front engine compartment area. See the
layout label affixed to the underside of the Junction Block cover for ASD relay identification and
location.
1. Connect the positive lead of the voltmeter (1) to the battery (2) negative terminal post. Connect
the negative lead of the voltmeter (1) to the battery
(2) negative cable terminal clamp. Rotate and hold the ignition switch in the Start position. Observe
the voltmeter. If voltage is detected, correct the poor connection between the battery negative
cable terminal clamp and the battery negative terminal post.

As the energized rotor begins to rotate within the generator, the spinning magnetic field induces a
current into the windings of the stator coil.
The Y type stator winding connections deliver the induced AC current to positive and negative
diodes for rectification. From the diodes, rectified DC current is delivered to the vehicles electrical
system through the generator, battery, and ground terminals.
Noise emitting from the generator may be caused by:
- Worn, loose or defective bearings
- Loose or defective drive pulley
- Incorrect, worn, damaged or misadjusted drive belt
- Loose mounting bolts
- Misaligned drive pulley
- Defective stator or diode
- Damaged internal fins

Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5514
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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Starting System > Ignition Switch > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5526
- 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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Starting System > Ignition Switch > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5527
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.

component of the WIN is the ignition switch (5) located on the face of the instrument panel just to
the inboard side of the steering column.
The WIN housing is constructed of molded black plastic and it includes four integral mounting
bosses (4), which are secured to the instrument panel structure with screws. Two connector
receptacles are integral to the back of the switch housing. One (3) connects the WIN to the vehicle
electrical system through a dedicated takeout and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The other (2) is a dedicated connector for the coaxial cable input from the optional remote start
system external antenna module.
The WIN is an integrated electronic receiver that replaces the ignition switch. It communicates with
other electronic modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The WIN interfaces with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) FOBIK and the Tire Pressure Monitor
(TPM) sensors (if equipped) using Radio Frequency (RF) communication, with the Sentry Key
Immobilizer System (SKIS) transponder within the FOBIK using Low Frequency (LF)
communication. It also communicates with the TPM trigger transponders (if equipped) and steering
column lock module (if equipped) using a Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus connection.
The WIN provides a switched 12-volt source through an isolated switch for the steering column lock
module required for certain export market vehicles. It also contains a key removal inhibit solenoid,
an electronic Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) solenoid, a key-in warning contact and it
serves as the real time vehicle clock by transmitting the clock information to other electronic
modules over the CAN data bus.
The WIN cannot be adjusted or repaired, but is flash update capable. If ineffective or damaged, the
entire WIN must be replaced. When replacing the WIN, you must also replace the steering column
lock module (if equipped).

Ignition Switch: Description and Operation Wireless Ignition Node Receiver - Operation
OPERATION
Following are brief descriptions of the systems that the WIN controls.
IGNITION SWITCH
The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) incorporates an integral ignition switch that consists of four rotary
positions with three detent positions and one spring-loaded position. The one extreme clockwise
position is a spring-loaded momentary contact "START" position. When released from the "START"
position, the switch will automatically return to the detent "ON" position. The other position includes
a detent "ACCESSORY" position and a detent "LOCK" position.
The WIN reads the position of the ignition switch and transmits the data via the CAN data bus.
These positions include "LOCK" with ignition key-out, "LOCK" with ignition key-in,
"ACCESSORY,""RUN," and "START."
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (SKIS)
Upon failure of proper Sentry Key Immobilizer (SKIS) communication to the Powertrain Control
Module, (PCM), the PCM will not allow the vehicle to crank. The engine will not re-crank on the key
cycle that the failure occurred, a full key down sequence must be performed for the engine to crank
again. See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Description and
Operation/Vehicle Theft Security System - Operation.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), transmitter uses Radio Frequency (RF) signals to communicate
with the WIN, and the WIN relays the RKE requests to other modules in the vehicle over the CAN
data bus. See: Body and Frame/Locks/Power Locks/Description and Operation/Power Locks Operation
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING (TPM)
The Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system uses radio and sensor technology to monitor tire air
pressure levels. See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Tire Monitoring
System/Description and Operation/Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) - Operation.
REMOTE START WITH/EXTENDED RANGE ANTENNA
Further information concerning the Remote Start System. See: Keyless Starting
System/Description and Operation/Starting System - Operation
BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK (BTSI)
The Brake Transmission Shifter/Ignition Interlock (BTSI) is controlled by the WIN. The BTSI
prevents the transmission gear shifter from being moved out of PARK without a driver in place.
PARK SHIFT INTERLOCK
The key removal inhibit solenoid internal to the WIN prevents the FOB with Integrated KEY
(FOBIK) from being rotated in the ignition switch to the LOCK position for all vehicles with an
automatic transmission unless the transmission shift lever is in the PARK position. The WIN
module monitors a hard wired input from a switch integral to the automatic transmission shifter
module to control this feature. The key removal inhibit solenoid is electronically disabled internally
by the WIN on vehicles with a manual transmission.

DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Wireless Ignition Node (WIN). The WIN, along with the FOB with
Integrated Key (FOBIK) are the primary components of the keyless ignition system. The only visible
component of the WIN is the ignition switch located on the face of the instrument panel just to the
inboard side of the steering column. The remainder of the WIN including its mounting provisions
and electrical connections are concealed within the instrument panel.
In addition to replacing a conventional keyed ignition switch, the WIN is an integrated electronic
receiver that serves as the base station in the vehicle. It communicates with other electronic
modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The WIN interfaces with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) FOBIK and the Tire Pressure Monitor
(TPM) sensors (if equipped) using Radio Frequency (RF) communication, with the Sentry Key
Immobilizer System (SKIS) transponder within the FOBIK using Low Frequency (LF) RF
communication.
The WIN cannot be adjusted or repaired, but is flash update capable. If ineffective or damaged the
entire WIN must be replaced See: Service and Repair/Wireless Ignition Node Receiver - Removal.

FOBIK TRAPPED IN WIN
The Fob with Integrated Key (FOBIK) cannot be rotated to the LOCK position, allowing it to be
removed from the ignition switch also referred to as the Wireless Ignition Node/WIN. The automatic
transmission or transaxle is shifted mechanically through a cable from the gearshift lever
mechanism to the transmission or transaxle valve body. A gated park switch is physically located
on and integral to the gearshift lever mechanism and is hard wired directly to the WIN. The gated
park switch is a simple plunger-like actuated open or closed contact switch that could be
considered redundant to the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) except that it monitors the position
selected with the gearshift lever, while the TRS monitors the position or gear of the transmission or
transaxle that is actually engaged. A damaged or improperly adjusted gearshift cable could result in
a different gear being engaged than that which is selected. The WIN uses the gated park switch
input to control an internal key lock solenoid, which controls whether the FOBIK can be rotated to
the LOCK position. When the gearshift lever is not in the PARK position, the gated park switch is a
closed circuit, the key lock solenoid is energized and the FOBIK cannot be rotated to the LOCK
position for removal.

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
the diagram pages.

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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5601
- 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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5602
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: Description and Operation IOD Fuse - Description
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) fuse that is disconnected within the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) when the vehicle is shipped from the factory. Dealer
personnel are to reconnect the IOD fuse in the TIPM as part of the preparation procedures
performed just prior to new vehicle delivery.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information >
Description and Operation > IOD Fuse - Description > Page 5641
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, including the clock. 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 by
both vehicle transportation company and dealer personnel.
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 only another Fused B(+) circuit fuse. The IOD fuse serves no useful purpose to the
dealer technician in the service or diagnosis of any vehicle system or condition, other than the
same purpose as that of any other standard circuit protection device.
The IOD fuse can be used by the vehicle owner as a convenient means of reducing battery
depletion when a vehicle is to be stored for periods not to exceed about thirty days. However, it
must be remembered that 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.

REMOVAL
NOTE: When removing or installing the Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse, it is important that the ignition
switch be in the OFF position. Failure
to place the ignition switch in the OFF position can cause the radio display to become scrambled
when the IOD fuse is installed. Removing and installing the IOD fuse again with the ignition switch
in the OFF position will usually correct the scrambled radio display condition.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. 2. Remove the cover from the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM). 3. Pull on IOD fuse (J13) holder until it reaches the first detent.

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
the diagram pages.

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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5661
- 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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5662
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
DESCRIPTION
An electrical Junction Block (JB) is located next to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM).
The JB combines the functions previously provided by a separate relay center. It also serves to
simplify and centralize numerous electrical components, as well as to distribute electrical current to
many of the accessory systems in the vehicle. It 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 junction block is replaced as part of
the engine harness.

DESCRIPTION
An electrical Junction Block (JB) is located next to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM).
The JB combines the functions previously provided by a separate relay center. It also serves to
simplify and centralize numerous electrical components, as well as to distribute electrical current to
many of the accessory systems in the vehicle. It 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 junction block is replaced as part of
the engine harness.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5890
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.

Connector, Ground and Splice Information
CONNECTOR, GROUND AND SPLICE INFORMATION
CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some connectors are serviced only with a harness. A
typical example might be the Supplemental
Restraint System connectors. Always check parts availability before attempting a repair.
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.
LOCATIONS
Section 8W-91 contains connector/ground/splice location illustrations. The illustrations contain the
connector name (or number)/ground number/splice number and component identification.
Connector/ground/splice location charts in section 8W-91 reference the figure numbers of the
illustrations. The abbreviation T/O is used in the component location section to indicate a point in
which the wiring harness branches out to a component. The abbreviation N/S means Not Shown in
the illustrations

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

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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5902
- 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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5903
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: Description and Operation IOD Fuse - Description
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) fuse that is disconnected within the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) when the vehicle is shipped from the factory. Dealer
personnel are to reconnect the IOD fuse in the TIPM as part of the preparation procedures
performed just prior to new vehicle delivery.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information > Description and Operation
> IOD Fuse - Description > Page 5942
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, including the clock. 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 by
both vehicle transportation company and dealer personnel.
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 only another Fused B(+) circuit fuse. The IOD fuse serves no useful purpose to the
dealer technician in the service or diagnosis of any vehicle system or condition, other than the
same purpose as that of any other standard circuit protection device.
The IOD fuse can be used by the vehicle owner as a convenient means of reducing battery
depletion when a vehicle is to be stored for periods not to exceed about thirty days. However, it
must be remembered that 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.

REMOVAL
NOTE: When removing or installing the Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse, it is important that the ignition
switch be in the OFF position. Failure
to place the ignition switch in the OFF position can cause the radio display to become scrambled
when the IOD fuse is installed. Removing and installing the IOD fuse again with the ignition switch
in the OFF position will usually correct the scrambled radio display condition.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. 2. Remove the cover from the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM). 3. Pull on IOD fuse (J13) holder until it reaches the first detent.

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

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

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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 5962
- 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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 5963
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
DESCRIPTION
An electrical Junction Block (JB) is located next to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM).
The JB combines the functions previously provided by a separate relay center. It also serves to
simplify and centralize numerous electrical components, as well as to distribute electrical current to
many of the accessory systems in the vehicle. It 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 junction block is replaced as part of
the engine harness.

DESCRIPTION
An electrical Junction Block (JB) is located next to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM).
The JB combines the functions previously provided by a separate relay center. It also serves to
simplify and centralize numerous electrical components, as well as to distribute electrical current to
many of the accessory systems in the vehicle. It 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 junction block is replaced as part of
the engine harness.

Alignment: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
Vehicle wheel alignment is the positioning of all interrelated front and rear suspension angles.
These angles affect the handling and steering of the vehicle when it is in motion. Proper wheel
alignment is essential for efficient steering, good directional stability, and proper tire wear.
The method of checking a vehicle's front and rear wheel alignment varies depending on the
manufacturer and type of equipment used. The manufacturer's instructions should always be
followed to ensure accuracy of the alignment, except when Chrysler Corporation's wheel alignment
specifications differ.
On this vehicle, the suspension angles that can be adjusted are as follows:
Front
- Camber (with cradle shift or service adjustment bolt package)
- Caster (limited adjustment with cradle shift)
- Toe
Rear
- Toe
Check the wheel alignment and make all wheel alignment adjustments with the vehicle standing at
its proper curb height specification. Curb height is the normal riding height of the vehicle. It is
measured from a certain point on the vehicle to the ground or a designated area while the vehicle
is sitting on a flat, level surface. Refer to Curb Height Measurement for additional information. See:
Service and Repair/Curb Height Measurement
Typical wheel alignment angles and measurements are described in the following paragraphs.
CAMBER
Camber is the inward or outward tilt of the top of the tire and wheel assembly. Inward tilt (2) is
known as negative camber. Outward tilt (1) is known as
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 6184
positive camber. Camber is measured in degrees of angle relative to a true vertical line. Camber is
a tire wearing angle.
- Excessive negative camber will cause tread wear at the inside of the tire.
- Excessive positive camber will cause tread wear on the outside of the tire.
CROSS CAMBER
Cross camber is the difference between left and right camber. To achieve the cross camber
reading, subtract the right side camber reading from the left. For example, if the left camber is -0.7°
and the right camber is -0.5°, the cross camber would be -0.2° (-0.7 - (-0.5) = -0.7 + 0.5 = -0.2).
CASTER
Caster is the forward or rearward tilt of the steering knuckle in reference to the position of the upper
and lower ball joints. Caster is measured in degrees of angle relative to a true vertical center line.
This line is viewed from the side of the tire and wheel assembly.
- Forward tilt (upper ball joint ahead of lower) results in a negative caster angle.
- Rearward tilt (upper ball joint trailing lower) results in a positive caster angle.
Although caster does not affect tire wear, a caster imbalance between the two front wheels may
cause the vehicle to lead to the side with the least positive caster.
CROSS CASTER
Cross caster is the difference between left and right caster. To achieve the cross caster reading,
subtract the right side caster reading from the left. For example, if the left caster is 2.5° and the
right caster is 2.7°, the cross caster would be -0.2° (2.5 - 2.7 = -0.2).
TOE
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 6185
Toe is the inward or outward angle of the wheels as viewed from above the vehicle.
- Toe-in (1) is produced when the front edges of the wheels on the same axle are closer together
than the rear edges.
- Toe-out (2) is produced when the front edges of the wheels on the same axle are farther apart
than the rear edges.
Toe-in and toe-out can occur at the front wheels and the rear wheels.
Toe is measured in degrees or inches. The measurement identifies the amount that the front of the
wheels point inward (toe-in) or outward (toe-out). Toe is measured at the spindle height. Zero toe
means the front and rear edges of the wheels on the same axle are equal distant.
TOE-OUT ON TURNS
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 6186
Toe-out on turns (1), sometimes referred to as Ackerman Steering, is the relative positioning of the
front wheels while steering through a turn. This compensates for each front wheel's turning radius.
As the vehicle encounters a turn, the outboard wheel must travel in a larger radius circle than the
inboard wheel. The steering system is designed to make each wheel follow its particular radius
circle. To accomplish this, the front wheels must progressively toe outward as the steering is turned
from center. This eliminates tire scrubbing and undue tire wear when steering a vehicle through a
turn.
DYNAMIC TOE PATTERN
Dynamic toe pattern is the inward and outward toe movement of the front and rear tires through the
suspension's jounce and rebound travel. As the vehicle's suspension moves up and down, the toe
pattern varies. Toe pattern is critical in controlling the directional stability of the vehicle while in
motion. Front and rear dynamic toe pattern is preset by the factory at the time the vehicle is
assembled.
It is not necessary to check or adjust front or rear dynamic toe pattern when doing a normal wheel
alignment. The only time dynamic toe pattern needs to be checked or adjusted is if the frame of the
vehicle has been damaged.
STEERING AXIS INCLINATION (S.A.I.)
Steering axis inclination (1) is the angle between a true vertical line starting at the center of the tire
at the road contact point and a line drawn through the center of the upper ball joint (or strut) and
the lower ball joint. S.A.I. is built into the vehicle and is not an adjustable angle. If S.A.I. is not
within specifications, a bent or damaged suspension component may be the cause.
INCLUDED ANGLE (I.A.)
Included angle (3) is the sum of the S.A.I. angle (1) plus or minus the camber angle (2), depending
on whether or not the wheel has positive or negative camber. If camber is positive, add the camber
angle to the S.A.I angle. If camber is negative, subtract the camber angle from the S.A.I. angle.
Included angle is not adjustable, but can be used to diagnose a frame misalignment or bent
suspension component (spindle, strut).
THRUST ANGLE
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 6187
Thrust angle is the averaged direction the rear wheels are pointing in relation to the vehicle's center
line. The presence of negative or positive thrust angle causes the rear tires to track improperly to
the left or right of the front tires (dog tracking).
- Negative thrust angle means the rear tires are tracking to the left of the front tires.
- Positive thrust angle means the rear tires are tracking to the right of the front tires.
Improper tracking can cause undue tire wear, a lead or pull and a crooked steering wheel.
Excessive thrust angle can usually be corrected by adjusting the rear wheel toe so that each wheel
has one-half of the total toe measurement.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT
PRE-WHEEL ALIGNMENT INSPECTION
Before any attempt is made to change or correct the wheel alignment, the following inspection and
necessary corrections must be made to the vehicle to ensure proper alignment.
1. Verify the fuel tank is full of fuel. If the fuel tank is not full, the reduction in weight will affect the
curb height of the vehicle and the alignment
specifications.
2. The passenger and luggage compartments of the vehicle should be free of any load that is not
factory equipment. 3. Check the tires on the vehicle. The tires are to be inflated to the
recommended air pressure. All tires must be the same size and in good condition
with approximately the same tread wear.
4. Check the front tire and wheel assemblies for excessive radial runout. 5. Inspect all suspension
component fasteners for looseness and proper torque. 6. Inspect the lower front ball joints and all
steering linkage for looseness and any sign of wear or damage. 7. Inspect the rubber bushings on
all the suspension components for signs of wear or deterioration. If any bushings show signs of
wear or
deterioration, they should be replaced prior to aligning the vehicle.
8. Check vehicle curb height to verify it is within specifications. See:
WHEEL ALIGNMENT SETUP
1. Position the vehicle on an alignment rack. 2. Install all required alignment equipment on the
vehicle, per the alignment equipment manufacturer's instructions. On this vehicle, a four-wheel
alignment is recommended.
NOTE: Prior to reading the vehicle's alignment readouts, the front and rear of vehicle should be
jounced. Induce jounce (rear first, then
front) by grasping the center of the bumper and jouncing each end of vehicle an equal number of
times. The bumper should always be released when vehicle is at the bottom of the jounce cycle.
3. Read the vehicle's current front and rear alignment settings. Compare the vehicle's current
alignment settings to the vehicle specifications for
camber, caster and toe-in. See: Specifications/Wheel Alignment Specifications
REAR CAMBER
Rear camber settings on this vehicle are determined at the time the vehicle is designed, by the
location of the vehicle's suspension components. This is referred to as Net Build. The result is no
required adjustment of camber after the vehicle is built or when servicing the suspension
components. Thus, when performing a wheel alignment, rear camber is not considered an
adjustable angle.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to adjust the vehicle's wheel alignment by heating or bending any of the
suspension components.
FRONT CAMBER AND CASTER
Front camber and caster settings on this vehicle are determined at the time the vehicle is designed,
by the location of the vehicle's suspension components. This is referred to as Net Build. The result
is no required adjustment of camber and caster after the vehicle is built or when servicing the
suspension components. Thus, when performing a wheel alignment, caster and camber are not
normally considered adjustable angles but some adjustment can be made. Camber and caster
should be checked to ensure they meet vehicle specifications. See: Specifications/Wheel
Alignment Specifications
If individual front camber or caster is found not to meet alignment specifications, each can be
adjusted by shifting the front crossmember or by using an available service adjustment bolt
package. If an adjustment bolt package installation is necessary, inspect the suspension
components for any signs of damage or bending first.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to adjust the vehicle's wheel alignment by heating or bending any of the
suspension components.
ADJUSTMENT BY SHIFTING CROSSMEMBER
CAUTION: Always use care when shifting crossmember to avoid damaging other components on
the vehicle.
1. Loosen the four bolts fastening the front crossmember to the frame just enough to allow
movement of the crossmember. See:
Suspension/Cross-Member/Service and Repair/Crossmember - Removal
2. Loosen the bolts fastening the fore/aft crossmember to the frame just enough to allow movement
of the crossmember. See:
Suspension/Cross-Member/Service and Repair/Crossmember - Removal
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Service and Repair > Wheel
Alignment > Page 6190
CAUTION: When shifting the front crossmember, keep in mind that the front and rear engine
mounts are attached to the front crossmember
and fore/aft crossmember and should be inspected following the crossmember shift to make sure
they are properly aligned.
3. Shift front crossmember as necessary (See following tables) to bring camber or caster into
specifications. When shifting crossmember, use care not
to move other angles (camber or caster) that are within specifications, out of specifications.
4. Tighten all previously loosened fasteners (bolts) securing the crossmember to the vehicle to
specifications. See:
Suspension/Cross-Member/Service and Repair/Crossmember - Installation
5. Jounce the rear, then front of the vehicle an equal amount of times. 6. Measure camber and
caster. If camber and caster are within specifications, proceed to TOE. If camber cannot be brought
into specifications,
perform the CAMBER ADJUSTMENT BOLT PACKAGE INSTALLATION below.
CAMBER ADJUSTMENT BOLT PACKAGE INSTALLATION
1. Raise the vehicle until its tires are not supporting the weight of the vehicle. See: Maintenance
2. Remove the wheel mounting nuts (3), then the front tire and wheel assembly (1).
CAUTION: The strut clevis-to-knuckle attaching bolt shanks are serrated and must not be turned
during removal. Remove the nuts while
holding the bolts stationary, then tap the bolts out using a punch.
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Service and Repair > Wheel

Alignment: Service and Repair Curb Height Measurement
CURB HEIGHT MEASUREMENT
The wheel alignment is to be checked and all alignment adjustments made with the vehicle at its
required curb height specification.
Vehicle height is to be checked with the vehicle on a flat, level surface, preferably a vehicle
alignment rack. The tires are to be inflated to the recommended pressure. All tires are to be the
same size as standard equipment. Vehicle height is checked with the fuel tank full of fuel, and no
passenger or luggage compartment load.
Vehicle height is not adjustable. If the measurement is not within specifications, inspect the vehicle
for bent or weak suspension components. Compare the parts tag on the suspect coil spring(s) to
the parts book and the vehicle sales code, checking for a match. Once removed from the vehicle,
compare the coil spring height to a correct new or known good coil spring. The heights should vary
if the suspect spring is weak.
NOTE: Prior to reading the curb height measurement, the front and rear of the vehicle must be
jounced to settle the suspension. Induce jounce by pushing down on the center of the bumper
(fascia), using care not to damage the vehicle, moving the vehicle up and down, gradually
increasing the suspension travel with each stroke. Release the bumper at the bottom of each
stroke, repeating this action several times. Perform this to both front and rear suspensions an equal
amount of times.
Measure curb height as follows:
1. Jounce the vehicle. Refer to above note.
NOTE: On some vehicles it may be necessary to remove an engine belly pan in order to gain
access to the lower control arm pivot bolt.
2. Front - On each side of the vehicle, measure the distance 2 from the flat surface behind the PLP
hole 1 to the floor or alignment rack/lift
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Service and Repair > Wheel
Alignment > Page 6195
runway surface. It may be necessary to measure to the bottom of a straight edge 3, placed from lift
runway to runway, to get an accurate measurement.
3. Rear - On each side of the vehicle, measure the distance 2 from the flat surface below the rear
toe adjustment cam bolt 1 to the floor or
alignment rack/lift runway surface. It may be necessary to measure to the bottom of a straight edge
3, placed from lift runway to runway, to get an accurate measurement.
4. Compare the measurements to specifications listed in the following CURB HEIGHT
SPECIFICATIONS chart. Maximum left-to-right
differential is not to exceed 12.5 mm (0.5 in.).
5. If curb height is found to be out of specification and there is no sign of excessive body damage,
curb height can be changed by replacing the
applicable spring with a spring offering a different check load.

DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Steering Control Module (SCM) that is internal to the left
multi-function switch housing (2). The left (lighting) multi-function switch is located on the left side
of the steering column, just below the steering wheel. This switch is the primary control for the
interior and exterior lighting systems. The only visible components of the switch are the control
stalk (1), control knob and control sleeve that extend through the steering column shrouds on the
left side of the column. The remainder of the switch including its mounting provisions and electrical
connections are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing and controls are constructed of molded black plastic. A single screw (7)
through a mounting tab integral to the back of the switch housing, and a slide tab integral to the
bottom of the switch housing secure the switch to the mounting bracket integral to the clockspring
(3). A connector receptacle containing seven terminal pins is integral to the inboard end of the
switch housing and connects the SCM through a jumper wire harness (5) directly to the right
(wiper) multi-function switch (6). A second connector receptacle containing four terminal pins is
integral to the back of the switch housing and connects the SCM to the vehicle electrical system
through a dedicated takeout and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The SCM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged the entire left multi-function
switch must be replaced. See: Lighting and Horns/Sensors and Switches - Lighting and
Horns/Combination Switch/Service and Repair/Left Multifunction Switch - Removal. The
clockspring (with the multi-function switch mounting bracket), the left multi-function switch (with the
SCM), the right multi-function switch and the jumper wire harness are each available for separate
service replacement.

Module - Operation
OPERATION
The Steering Control Module (SCM) communicates over the Local Interconnect Network (LIN) data
bus with other electronic modules in the vehicle and/or a diagnostic scan tool. The horn switch
circuits pass through the clockspring to the Cab Compartment Node (CCN) and the CCN sends a
CAN message to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) to control the horn. The CCN stores
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) for the SCM. The right (wiper) multi-function switch has several
inputs to the CCN.
The SCM is connected to a fused B(+) circuit and receives a path to ground at all times. These
connections allow it to remain functional regardless of the ignition switch position. The driver airbag
squib circuits of the clockspring, the horn, and the speed control switch circuits pass through the
SCM, but the SCM does not monitor, and has no control outputs related to these circuits. Any other
input to the SCM that would cause a vehicle system to function but does not require that the
ignition switch be in the On position, such as turning on the lights or sounding the horn, prompts
the SCM to wake up and transmit on the CAN data bus.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the SCM, the CAN data bus, the hard
wired inputs or the electronic communication related to SCM operation requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
The integral SCM is not available for separate service replacement. If found inoperative or
defective, the entire left (lighting) multi-function switch must be replaced See: Lighting and
Horns/Sensors and Switches - Lighting and Horns/Combination Switch/Service and Repair/Left
Multifunction Switch - Removal.

Control Module - Description
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Steering Column Control Module (SCCM). The SCCM is secured
near the top of the steering column below the steering wheel and is completely concealed beneath
the steering column shrouds. It is installed as a modular unit that supports the left (lighting)
multi-function switch (1) and right (wiper) multi-function switch (6). The controls for each of these
switches extend through appropriate clearance holes provided in the steering column shrouds.
The microprocessor-based Steering Control Module (SCM) (2) utilizes integrated circuitry and
information carried on the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus along with several hard wired
analog and multiplexed inputs to monitor both the right and left multi-function switches. The SCCM
uses a Local Interconnect Network (LIN) data bus for exterior lighting and wiper functions. The LIN
data is sent to the Cab Compartment Node (CCN) and the CCN then sends it out on the CAN data
bus See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Information Bus/Description
and Operation/Communication - Description. The SCCM is available for service replacement as a
unit or each individual component:
- Clockspring (with integral Steering Angle Sensor if equipped)
- Left Multi-Function Switch (with integral Steering Control Module)
- Right Multi-Function Switch

STEERING CONTROL MODULE
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 battery negative
(ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing
further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper
precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
The hard wired circuits between components related to the Steering Control Module (SCM) 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 SCM or
the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices that provide some
features of the SCM. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the SCM or the
electronic controls and communication related to SCM operation requires the use of a diagnostic
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPM system
pressures have been established for the tire size equipped on the vehicle. Undesirable system
operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same
size, type, or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire
sealants or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with TPM, as damage to the sensors may
result.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. Use tire
pressure sensors in original style factory wheels
only. If aftermarket wheels are installed, and therefore do not contain tire pressure sensors, the
system will not function properly and the driver will be continuously notified of a system
malfunction.
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 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: Any time a sensor is to be installed in a wheel, it is necessary to install a new
sensor-to-wheel seal, metal washer and valve stem
nut, to ensure air tight sealing.
CAUTION: When installing the valve core, be sure to tighten the core to specifications See: Wheels
and Tires/Wheels/Specifications .
Overtightening by a little as three or four inch pounds can damage the sensor.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensor Description
DESCRIPTION
On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM), one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel (5) 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 433 MHz radio frequency. The 433 MHz sensors (1) can be easily
identified by the part number.
CAUTION: Although additional sensors operating at 433 MHz sensors are available and are used
in other applications, they are not
interchangeable. Always make sure the correct sensor is being used and be sure to replace the
sensor with the correct part number.
NOTE: Once mounted inside a tire and wheel assembly you are not able to visually see the
difference between this sensor and other 315 MHz
and 433 MHz sensors. At that point, the TPM/RKE Analyzer 9936, with the Scan Tool may be used
to identify the sensor frequency or the tire can be dismounted allowing visual inspection of the
sensor body and part number.
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). Do not attempt to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. 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.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Sensors and Switches - Steering and Suspension > Sensors and
Switches - Wheels and Tires > Tire Pressure Sensor > Component Information > Description and Operation > Tire Pressure
Monitoring (TPM) Sensor - Description > Page 6256
The serviceable components of the tire pressure sensor are:
- Sensor-To-Wheel Seal (2) and Metal Washer (1)
- Valve Stem Cap (4)
- Valve Stem Core
- Valve Stem Nut (with pressed-in washer) (3)
NOTE: Any time a sensor is installed on a wheel, a new Sensor-To-Wheel Seal (2), Metal Washer
(1) and Valve Stem Nut (3) must be installed
to ensure air tight sealing. A service kit is available.
The valve stem caps and cores 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.

Monitoring (TPM) Sensor - Description > Page 6257
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 by using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer. Using a TPM-RKE
Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission from a sensor.
NOTE: The TPM-RKE Analyzer will not define the mode.
The TPM sensor can be in one of the following operating modes:
- OFF MODE - A new TPM sensor will be in this mode. In this mode the sensor does not transmit
periodically on its own. By forcing a transmission from the sensor with the TPM-RKE Analyzer, it
will change to the STATIONARY MODE. The sensor will also automatically change from OFF
mode to the STATIONARY MODE once it experiences a great increase in pressure (i.e. installation
into a wheel/tire assembly and then inflated).
- WAL MODE - This is the operating mode the sensor assumes when the vehicle is driven over
15mph (24km/h), but only after the vehicle was previously parked for a duration of 18 minutes or
greater. In WAL MODE the sensors transmit every 33 seconds and these transmissions contain
left/right information that allows the TPM Module to determine sensor location on the vehicle. WAL
MODE lasts for the first 10 minutes of consecutive driving, then NORMAL DRIVE mode ensues.
- FACTORY MODE- This is a special case of WAL MODE. If a TPM sensor has just been taken out
of OFF MODE, then for the first 3 minutes of the WAL period (10 minutes) the sensors transmit at
an accelerated rate of every 10 seconds. After the first 20 drives, then the sensors never again
transmit out of FACTORY MODE.
- NORMAL MODE - This is the operating mode the sensor assumes after the first 10 minutes of a
drive. In NORMAL MODE the sensors transmit every 66 seconds and cease transmitting left/right
information.
- SERVICE MODE- Once a vehicle stops, the sensors go into SERVICE MODE. After 18 minutes
of no driving then the sensors go into the STATIONARY MODE. If the vehicle was stopped for less
than 18 minutes and driving resumes, then the sensors go back to the NORMAL MODE.
- STATIONARY MODE - When a vehicle has been stopped for more then 18 minutes, then the
sensor is forced into STATIONARY MODE. In STATIONARY MODE the sensor never transmits
any pressure information. The sensor leaves STATIONARY MODE and enters WAL MODE when
the vehicle is driven above 15mph (24km/h).
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the TPM module can monitor the
state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The TPM module can automatically
learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 20 minutes continuously above 15 mph (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 TPM module can also learn the sensor's ID using the
TPM-RKE Analyzer, Special Tool 9936, with the Scan Tool following the procedure listed in the
appropriate diagnostic information.

REMOVAL
1. Raise and support vehicle. See: Maintenance 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.
Retain this valve stem cap for reuse. 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.

8. Lower vehicle. 9. Perform one of the following to make the system learn the new sensor ID.
a. Use the TPM-RKE Analyzer, Special Tool 9936, with the Scan Tool to program the WIN with the
tire pressure sensor ID. This is part of the
TPM Diagnostic Verification Test, See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated
Procedures/Verification Tests/Vehicle Theft Security Verification Tests/Tire Pressure Monitor
(TPM) Verification Test.
b. Once the vehicle has remained stationary for more than 20 minutes, drive vehicle for a minimum
of 10 minutes while maintaining a continuous
speed above 15 mph (24 km/h). During this time, the system will learn the new sensor ID. This is
part of the TPM Diagnostic Verification Test, See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control

POWER STEERING SYSTEM BLEEDING
WARNING: The fluid level should be checked with engine off to prevent injury from moving
components.
CAUTION: Mopar(R) Power Steering Fluid + 4 or Mopar(R) ATF+4 Automatic Transmission Fluid is
to be used in the power steering system.
Both Fluids have the same material standard specifications (MS-9602). No other power steering or
automatic transmission fluid is to be used in the system. Damage may result to the power steering
pump and system if another fluid is used. Do not overfill the system.
CAUTION: If the air is not purged from the power steering system correctly, pump failure could
result.
NOTE: Be sure the vacuum tool used in the following procedure is clean and free of any fluids.
1. Check the fluid level. As measured on the side of the reservoir, the level should indicate between
MAX and MIN when the fluid is at normal
ambient temperature. Adjust the fluid level as necessary.See: Service and Repair/Power Steering
Fluid Level Checking
2. Tightly insert Power Steering Cap Adapter (4), Special Tool 9688, into the mouth of the reservoir
(3).
CAUTION: Failure to use a vacuum pump reservoir (1) may allow power steering fluid to be sucked
into the hand vacuum pump.
3. Attach Hand Vacuum Pump (2), Special Tool C-4207 or equivalent, with reservoir (1) attached,
to the Power Steering Cap Adapter (4).
CAUTION: Do not run the engine while vacuum is applied to the power steering system. Damage
to the power steering pump can occur.
NOTE: When performing the following step make sure the vacuum level is maintained during the
entire time period.
4. Using Hand Vacuum Pump (2), apply 68-85 kPa (20-25 in. Hg) of vacuum to the system for a
minimum of three minutes. 5. Slowly release the vacuum and remove the special tools. 6. Adjust
the fluid level as necessary. Refer to 1.
7. Repeat 1 through 6 until the fluid no longer drops when vacuum is applied. 8. Start the engine
and cycle the steering wheel lock-to-lock three times.
NOTE: Do not hold the steering wheel at the stops.
9. Stop the engine and check for leaks at all connections.
10. Check for any signs of air in the reservoir and check the fluid level. If air is present, repeat the
procedure as necessary.

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.

specifications (MS-9602).
Mopar(R) ATF+4 (and Mopar(R) Power Steering fluid + 4), when new, is red in color. ATF+4 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, ATF+4 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.
The power steering system is filled-for-life at the factory and requires no regular maintenance.
Although not required at specific intervals, the fluid level may be checked periodically. Check the
fluid level anytime there is a system noise or fluid leak suspected. See: Service and Repair/Power
Steering Fluid Level Checking

Power Steering Fluid: Service and Repair
POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL CHECKING
WARNING: Fluid level should be checked with the engine OFF to prevent personal injury from
moving parts and to assure an accurate fluid
level reading.
CAUTION: Mopar(R) Power Steering Fluid + 4 or Mopar(R) ATF+4 Automatic Transmission Fluid is
to be used in the power steering system.
Both fluids have the same material standard specifications (MS-9602). No other power steering or
automatic transmission fluid is to be used in the system. Damage may result to the power steering
pump and system if another fluid is used. Do not overfill the system.
NOTE: Although not required at specific intervals, the fluid level may be checked periodically.
Check the fluid level anytime there is a system
noise or fluid leak suspected.
The power steering fluid level can be viewed through the side of the power steering fluid reservoir.
Compare the fluid level to the markings on the side of the reservoir. 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 MAX. and MIN. markings. When the fluid is hot, fluid level is allowed to read up to the
MAX. line.

INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Do not hammer on power steering pump pulley (2) or pump shaft to install pulley. This
action will damage pulley and power
steering pump.
1. Place power steering pump pulley (2) squarely on end of power steering pump shaft. 2. Place
Installation Spacer 6936 (1), on top of pump pulley (2).
NOTE: Later build pumps feature a shaft with internal threads that are not as deep as earlier
production, thus requiring a stack of washers,
approximately 13 mm (0.5 in.) thickness (3), placed over Spacer 6936 (2), before mounting Installer
C-4063C (1) on the pump. To know if a replacement pump requires the stack of washers, measure
the depth of the shaft hole. A later build pump will have a depth of 20 mm (0.78 in.) while an earlier
build pump will have a depth of 32 mm (1.25 in.).

Module - Description
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Steering Control Module (SCM) that is internal to the left
multi-function switch housing (2). The left (lighting) multi-function switch is located on the left side
of the steering column, just below the steering wheel. This switch is the primary control for the
interior and exterior lighting systems. The only visible components of the switch are the control
stalk (1), control knob and control sleeve that extend through the steering column shrouds on the
left side of the column. The remainder of the switch including its mounting provisions and electrical
connections are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing and controls are constructed of molded black plastic. A single screw (7)
through a mounting tab integral to the back of the switch housing, and a slide tab integral to the
bottom of the switch housing secure the switch to the mounting bracket integral to the clockspring
(3). A connector receptacle containing seven terminal pins is integral to the inboard end of the
switch housing and connects the SCM through a jumper wire harness (5) directly to the right
(wiper) multi-function switch (6). A second connector receptacle containing four terminal pins is
integral to the back of the switch housing and connects the SCM to the vehicle electrical system
through a dedicated takeout and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The SCM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged the entire left multi-function
switch must be replaced. See: Lighting and Horns/Sensors and Switches - Lighting and
Horns/Combination Switch/Service and Repair/Left Multifunction Switch - Removal. The
clockspring (with the multi-function switch mounting bracket), the left multi-function switch (with the
SCM), the right multi-function switch and the jumper wire harness are each available for separate
service replacement.

Steering Mounted Controls Communication Module: Description and Operation Steering Column
Module - Operation
OPERATION
The Steering Control Module (SCM) communicates over the Local Interconnect Network (LIN) data
bus with other electronic modules in the vehicle and/or a diagnostic scan tool. The horn switch
circuits pass through the clockspring to the Cab Compartment Node (CCN) and the CCN sends a
CAN message to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) to control the horn. The CCN stores
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) for the SCM. The right (wiper) multi-function switch has several
inputs to the CCN.
The SCM is connected to a fused B(+) circuit and receives a path to ground at all times. These
connections allow it to remain functional regardless of the ignition switch position. The driver airbag
squib circuits of the clockspring, the horn, and the speed control switch circuits pass through the
SCM, but the SCM does not monitor, and has no control outputs related to these circuits. Any other
input to the SCM that would cause a vehicle system to function but does not require that the
ignition switch be in the On position, such as turning on the lights or sounding the horn, prompts
the SCM to wake up and transmit on the CAN data bus.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the SCM, the CAN data bus, the hard
wired inputs or the electronic communication related to SCM operation requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
The integral SCM is not available for separate service replacement. If found inoperative or
defective, the entire left (lighting) multi-function switch must be replaced See: Lighting and
Horns/Sensors and Switches - Lighting and Horns/Combination Switch/Service and Repair/Left
Multifunction Switch - Removal.

Control Module - Description
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Steering Column Control Module (SCCM). The SCCM is secured
near the top of the steering column below the steering wheel and is completely concealed beneath
the steering column shrouds. It is installed as a modular unit that supports the left (lighting)
multi-function switch (1) and right (wiper) multi-function switch (6). The controls for each of these
switches extend through appropriate clearance holes provided in the steering column shrouds.
The microprocessor-based Steering Control Module (SCM) (2) utilizes integrated circuitry and
information carried on the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus along with several hard wired
analog and multiplexed inputs to monitor both the right and left multi-function switches. The SCCM
uses a Local Interconnect Network (LIN) data bus for exterior lighting and wiper functions. The LIN
data is sent to the Cab Compartment Node (CCN) and the CCN then sends it out on the CAN data
bus See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Information Bus/Description
and Operation/Communication - Description. The SCCM is available for service replacement as a
unit or each individual component:
- Clockspring (with integral Steering Angle Sensor if equipped)
- Left Multi-Function Switch (with integral Steering Control Module)
- Right Multi-Function Switch

Steering Mounted Controls Communication Module: Testing and Inspection
STEERING CONTROL MODULE
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 battery negative
(ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing
further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper
precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
The hard wired circuits between components related to the Steering Control Module (SCM) 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 SCM or
the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices that provide some
features of the SCM. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the SCM or the
electronic controls and communication related to SCM operation requires the use of a diagnostic
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

NOTE:
This recall applies only to the above vehicles built from February 19, 2009 through February 25,
2009 (MDH 021910 through 022509).
IMPORTANT:
Many of the vehicles within the above build period have already been inspected or repaired and,
therefore, have been excluded from this recall.
IMPORTANT:
Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to
complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider
this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in for
service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.
Subject
The Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) on about 4,300 of the above vehicles may have the
squib connector wiring reversed for the driver airbag module. This could cause the driver side
airbag not to deploy as intended and increase the risk of injury during a crash.
Repair
The Steering Column Control Module build date code must be inspected on all vehicles. Those
vehicles that have Steering Column Control Modules with a Julian date code of 0409, 0419, or
0429 must receive an additional inspection on the driver airbag squib wires. Steering Column
Control Modules with suspect driver airbag squib wires must be replace.
Alternate Transportation
Dealers should attempt to minimize customer inconvenience by placing the owner in a loaner
vehicle if inspection determines that Steering Column Control Module replacement is required and
the vehicle must be held overnight.
Parts Information
There will be no initial parts distribution. Parts should only be ordered after inspection determines
the need for replacement.

Steering Column Lock: Description and Operation Shaft Lock Module - Description
DESCRIPTION
A shaft lock module (1) is part of the premium version of the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS)
in the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS). The premium version of the SKIS is only available in
vehicles built for certain markets, where the additional features offered by this system are required.
The shaft lock module is located in a bracket integral to the lower end of the steering column
housing casting below the instrument panel in the passenger compartment. This unit is designed to
work in conjunction with the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN), sometimes referred to as the Sentry Key
REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) to control a locking bolt (2) that engages a machined slot in the
steering shaft to prevent shaft rotation whenever there is not a valid key present in the ignition lock
cylinder on the instrument panel.
Concealed within the module is the electronic circuitry of the module, and a bi-directional electric
motor that actuates the locking bolt. The module is connected to the vehicle electrical system
through the instrument panel wire harness.
The mounting provisions for the shaft lock module are designed to resist unauthorized tampering.
The module cannot be removed from the steering column while the locking bolt is in the locked
position, or while the steering column is installed in the vehicle. The shaft lock module unit cannot
be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the entire steering column must be
replaced.

Steering Column Lock: Description and Operation Shaft Lock Module - Operation
OPERATION
The electronic circuitry within the shaft lock module contains all of the logic circuits and
components to monitor and control the operation of the shaft locking bolt. The module uses a serial
data bus for bi-directional communication with the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) , sometimes
referred to as the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM). If the module detects a problem
with the positioning or operation of the locking bolt, it sends an error message to the WIN. The WIN
then stores a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and sends an electronic error message to the
Instrument Cluster, sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN), over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The shaft lock module continuously monitors inputs from the WIN and energizes the electric motor
to move the locking bolt to the locked or unlocked position based upon that input. If the WIN
indicates that the key present in the ignition lock cylinder is invalid, the locking bolt remains in the
locked position. When the WIN indicates that a valid key is present in the ignition lock cylinder, the
shaft lock module operates a motor to move the locking bolt to the unlocked position. However, to
prevent inadvertent column locking due to a failure while the vehicle is being operated, the module
cannot move the locking bolt from the unlocked position to the locked position as long as a key
remains in the ignition lock cylinder.
The shaft lock module receives ground at all times through a hard wired remote ground point. The
module receives battery voltage to operate and to move the locking bolt in the unlocked direction
on a B(+) circuit, and receives battery voltage to operate the locking bolt in the locked direction only
when the key is removed from the ignition switch. These connections allow the module to remain
operational, regardless of the ignition switch position.
For added system security, the shaft lock module learns a unique Secret Key code from the WIN
over the serial data bus upon initialization. This code is stored in the memory of the module and
cannot be changed. Therefore, if the WIN requires service replacement, a new shaft lock module
will also be required. Another security code, called a PIN, is used to gain access to the WIN
Secured Access Mode. The Secured Access Mode is required during service to initialize a new
shaft lock module. The shaft lock module is not available for separate service replacement. It is
integral to the steering column so a complete column must be installed if the module is damaged or
inoperative See: Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement/Steering Column - Removal.

REMOVAL
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 battery negative
(ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing
further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper
precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
NOTE: The shaft lock module cannot be removed from the steering column while the locking bolt is
in the locked position without irreversibly
damaging the column. Before attempting service, insert a valid FOB with Integrated Key (FOBIK)
into the ignition switch, then rotate the steering wheel from side to side. If the steering wheel can be
rotated, the locking bolt is in the unlocked position. Leave the FOBIK in the ignition switch until
service has been completed. If the steering wheel cannot be rotated, test and repair the wiring
circuits between the module and the ignition switch as required. If no problem is found in these
circuits, the module has failed with the locking bolt in the locked position and both the module and
the steering column must be replaced with new units.
1. Insert a FOB with Integrated Key (FOBIK) into the ignition switch to move the shaft lock module
locking bolt to the unlocked position. Leave the
FOBIK in the ignition switch while the shaft lock module service is being completed.
2. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. 3. Disconnect the instrument panel wire
harness connector (3) from the shaft lock module (2) connector receptacle. 4. Remove the steering
column from the vehicle. See: Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement/Steering Column Removal. 5. Depress the two spring clips that secure the shaft lock module to the mounting bracket
on the steering column by inserting a suitable drift or punch
into the release holes (1) on the upper surface of the bracket opposite the module.
6. While holding both of the spring clips depressed, slide the module toward the base of the column
far enough to disengage the engagement tabs and
slide tabs on the module from the slots and channels in the bracket.
7. Remove the module from the steering column bracket.

Module - Description
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Steering Control Module (SCM) that is internal to the left
multi-function switch housing (2). The left (lighting) multi-function switch is located on the left side
of the steering column, just below the steering wheel. This switch is the primary control for the
interior and exterior lighting systems. The only visible components of the switch are the control
stalk (1), control knob and control sleeve that extend through the steering column shrouds on the
left side of the column. The remainder of the switch including its mounting provisions and electrical
connections are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing and controls are constructed of molded black plastic. A single screw (7)
through a mounting tab integral to the back of the switch housing, and a slide tab integral to the
bottom of the switch housing secure the switch to the mounting bracket integral to the clockspring
(3). A connector receptacle containing seven terminal pins is integral to the inboard end of the
switch housing and connects the SCM through a jumper wire harness (5) directly to the right
(wiper) multi-function switch (6). A second connector receptacle containing four terminal pins is
integral to the back of the switch housing and connects the SCM to the vehicle electrical system
through a dedicated takeout and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The SCM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged the entire left multi-function
switch must be replaced. See: Lighting and Horns/Sensors and Switches - Lighting and
Horns/Combination Switch/Service and Repair/Left Multifunction Switch - Removal. The
clockspring (with the multi-function switch mounting bracket), the left multi-function switch (with the
SCM), the right multi-function switch and the jumper wire harness are each available for separate
service replacement.

Steering Mounted Controls Communication Module: Description and Operation Steering Column
Module - Operation
OPERATION
The Steering Control Module (SCM) communicates over the Local Interconnect Network (LIN) data
bus with other electronic modules in the vehicle and/or a diagnostic scan tool. The horn switch
circuits pass through the clockspring to the Cab Compartment Node (CCN) and the CCN sends a
CAN message to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) to control the horn. The CCN stores
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) for the SCM. The right (wiper) multi-function switch has several
inputs to the CCN.
The SCM is connected to a fused B(+) circuit and receives a path to ground at all times. These
connections allow it to remain functional regardless of the ignition switch position. The driver airbag
squib circuits of the clockspring, the horn, and the speed control switch circuits pass through the
SCM, but the SCM does not monitor, and has no control outputs related to these circuits. Any other
input to the SCM that would cause a vehicle system to function but does not require that the
ignition switch be in the On position, such as turning on the lights or sounding the horn, prompts
the SCM to wake up and transmit on the CAN data bus.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the SCM, the CAN data bus, the hard
wired inputs or the electronic communication related to SCM operation requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
The integral SCM is not available for separate service replacement. If found inoperative or
defective, the entire left (lighting) multi-function switch must be replaced See: Lighting and
Horns/Sensors and Switches - Lighting and Horns/Combination Switch/Service and Repair/Left
Multifunction Switch - Removal.

Control Module - Description
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Steering Column Control Module (SCCM). The SCCM is secured
near the top of the steering column below the steering wheel and is completely concealed beneath
the steering column shrouds. It is installed as a modular unit that supports the left (lighting)
multi-function switch (1) and right (wiper) multi-function switch (6). The controls for each of these
switches extend through appropriate clearance holes provided in the steering column shrouds.
The microprocessor-based Steering Control Module (SCM) (2) utilizes integrated circuitry and
information carried on the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus along with several hard wired
analog and multiplexed inputs to monitor both the right and left multi-function switches. The SCCM
uses a Local Interconnect Network (LIN) data bus for exterior lighting and wiper functions. The LIN
data is sent to the Cab Compartment Node (CCN) and the CCN then sends it out on the CAN data
bus See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Information Bus/Description
and Operation/Communication - Description. The SCCM is available for service replacement as a
unit or each individual component:
- Clockspring (with integral Steering Angle Sensor if equipped)
- Left Multi-Function Switch (with integral Steering Control Module)
- Right Multi-Function Switch

Suspension Strut / Shock Absorber: Description and Operation Front Suspension Strut Assembly Description
DESCRIPTION
A Macpherson type design strut assembly is used in place of the traditional front suspension upper
control arm and upper ball joint. The bottom of the strut mounts directly to the steering knuckle
using two attaching bolts and nuts going through the strut clevis bracket and knuckle. The top of
the strut mounts directly to the strut tower of the vehicle using the three threaded studs on the strut
assembly's upper mount.
The strut assembly includes the following components:
- Upper mount (2)
- Bearing and upper spring seat (3)
- Upper spring isolator (4)
- Dust shield (5)
- Jounce bumper (6)
- Coil spring (7)
- Lower spring isolator (8)
- Strut (damper) (9)
Each component is serviced by removing the strut assembly from the vehicle and disassembling it.
Coil springs are rated separately for each corner or side of the vehicle depending on optional
equipment and type of vehicle service. If a coil spring requires replacement, be sure that it is
replaced with a spring meeting the correct load rating for the vehicle and its specific options.

Suspension Strut / Shock Absorber: Description and Operation Front Suspension Strut Assembly Operation
OPERATION
The strut assembly cushions the ride of the vehicle, controlling vibration, jounce and rebound of the
suspension.
The coil spring controls ride quality and maintains proper ride height.
The spring isolators isolate the coil spring at the top and bottom from coming into metal-to-metal
contact with the upper mounting seat and the strut.
The jounce bumper limits suspension travel and metal-to-metal contact under full jounce condition.
The strut dampens jounce and rebound motions of the coil spring and suspension.

Suspension Strut / Shock Absorber: Description and Operation Rear Shock Absorber - Description
DESCRIPTION
A coil-over shock absorber assembly supports each side of the vehicle. The bottom of the shock
assembly mounts to the lower control arm. The top of the shock assembly mounts to the body.
The shock assembly includes the following major components:
- Upper bushing (3)
- Upper mounting bracket (4)
- Sleeve (5)
- Lower bushing (6)
- Jounce bumper (8)
- Dust shield (9)
- Upper spring isolator (10)
- Coil spring (11)
- Lower spring isolator (12)
- Shock absorber (damper) (13)
Each component is serviced by removing the shock assembly from the vehicle and disassembling
it.
Coil springs are rated separately for each corner or side of the vehicle depending on optional
equipment and type of vehicle service. If a coil spring requires replacement, be sure that it is
replaced with a spring meeting the correct load rating for the vehicle and its specific options.

Suspension Strut / Shock Absorber: Testing and Inspection Front Suspension Strut Assembly
STRUT ASSEMBLY
Inspect the strut assembly for the following conditions:
- Inspect for a damaged or broken coil spring (7).
- Inspect for a torn or damaged dust shield (5).
- Inspect for torn or deteriorated spring isolators (4, 8).
- Lift the dust shield and inspect the strut assembly for evidence of fluid running from the upper end
of the strut fluid reservoir. (Actual leakage will be a stream of fluid running down the side and
dripping off lower end of unit). A slight amount of seepage between the strut shaft and strut shaft
seal is not unusual and does not affect performance of the strut assembly.
- Inspect the jounce bumper (6) for signs of damage or deterioration.
- Inspect the clearance between the shock tower and the coil spring. Make sure no fasteners are
protruding through the shock tower possibly contacting the coil spring and strut. Because of the
minimum clearance in this area, installation of metal fasteners could damage the coil spring coating
and lead to a corrosion failure of the spring.
CAUTION: At no time when servicing a vehicle can a sheet metal screw, bolt or other metal
fastener be installed into the strut tower (1) to
take the place of an original plastic clip. Also, do not drill holes into the front strut tower for the
installation of any metal fasteners into the shock tower area indicated (3).

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPM system
pressures have been established for the tire size equipped on the vehicle. Undesirable system
operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same
size, type, or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire
sealants or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with TPM, as damage to the sensors may
result.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. Use tire
pressure sensors in original style factory wheels
only. If aftermarket wheels are installed, and therefore do not contain tire pressure sensors, the
system will not function properly and the driver will be continuously notified of a system
malfunction.
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 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: Any time a sensor is to be installed in a wheel, it is necessary to install a new
sensor-to-wheel seal, metal washer and valve stem
nut, to ensure air tight sealing.
CAUTION: When installing the valve core, be sure to tighten the core to specifications See:
Wheels/Specifications . Overtightening by a little as
three or four inch pounds can damage the sensor.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensor Description
DESCRIPTION
On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM), one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel (5) 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 433 MHz radio frequency. The 433 MHz sensors (1) can be easily
identified by the part number.
CAUTION: Although additional sensors operating at 433 MHz sensors are available and are used
in other applications, they are not
interchangeable. Always make sure the correct sensor is being used and be sure to replace the
sensor with the correct part number.
NOTE: Once mounted inside a tire and wheel assembly you are not able to visually see the
difference between this sensor and other 315 MHz
and 433 MHz sensors. At that point, the TPM/RKE Analyzer 9936, with the Scan Tool may be used
to identify the sensor frequency or the tire can be dismounted allowing visual inspection of the
sensor body and part number.
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). Do not attempt to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. 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 serviceable components of the tire pressure sensor are:
- Sensor-To-Wheel Seal (2) and Metal Washer (1)
- Valve Stem Cap (4)
- Valve Stem Core
- Valve Stem Nut (with pressed-in washer) (3)
NOTE: Any time a sensor is installed on a wheel, a new Sensor-To-Wheel Seal (2), Metal Washer
(1) and Valve Stem Nut (3) must be installed
to ensure air tight sealing. A service kit is available.
The valve stem caps and cores 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 by using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer. Using a TPM-RKE
Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission from a sensor.
NOTE: The TPM-RKE Analyzer will not define the mode.
The TPM sensor can be in one of the following operating modes:
- OFF MODE - A new TPM sensor will be in this mode. In this mode the sensor does not transmit
periodically on its own. By forcing a transmission from the sensor with the TPM-RKE Analyzer, it
will change to the STATIONARY MODE. The sensor will also automatically change from OFF
mode to the STATIONARY MODE once it experiences a great increase in pressure (i.e. installation
into a wheel/tire assembly and then inflated).
- WAL MODE - This is the operating mode the sensor assumes when the vehicle is driven over
15mph (24km/h), but only after the vehicle was previously parked for a duration of 18 minutes or
greater. In WAL MODE the sensors transmit every 33 seconds and these transmissions contain
left/right information that allows the TPM Module to determine sensor location on the vehicle. WAL
MODE lasts for the first 10 minutes of consecutive driving, then NORMAL DRIVE mode ensues.
- FACTORY MODE- This is a special case of WAL MODE. If a TPM sensor has just been taken out
of OFF MODE, then for the first 3 minutes of the WAL period (10 minutes) the sensors transmit at
an accelerated rate of every 10 seconds. After the first 20 drives, then the sensors never again
transmit out of FACTORY MODE.
- NORMAL MODE - This is the operating mode the sensor assumes after the first 10 minutes of a
drive. In NORMAL MODE the sensors transmit every 66 seconds and cease transmitting left/right
information.
- SERVICE MODE- Once a vehicle stops, the sensors go into SERVICE MODE. After 18 minutes
of no driving then the sensors go into the STATIONARY MODE. If the vehicle was stopped for less
than 18 minutes and driving resumes, then the sensors go back to the NORMAL MODE.
- STATIONARY MODE - When a vehicle has been stopped for more then 18 minutes, then the
sensor is forced into STATIONARY MODE. In STATIONARY MODE the sensor never transmits
any pressure information. The sensor leaves STATIONARY MODE and enters WAL MODE when
the vehicle is driven above 15mph (24km/h).
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the TPM module can monitor the
state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The TPM module can automatically
learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 20 minutes continuously above 15 mph (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 TPM module can also learn the sensor's ID using the
TPM-RKE Analyzer, Special Tool 9936, with the Scan Tool following the procedure listed in the
appropriate diagnostic information.

OVERVIEW: This bulletin provides information to diagnose vehicle vibration concerns.
MODELS:
2009-**2010** (JC) Journey
DISCUSSION: Tires used on the Journey models include nylon cap material as part of their
construction.
Tires that include Nylon can temporarily "flat spot" when vehicles are shipped by car hauler or rail
and if vehicles are stored for an extended period.
Immediately following delivery, some vehicles may exhibit a vibration / shake due to temporary tire
flat-spotting. The vibration may be felt in the steering wheel and / or seat, and may be most
noticeable at highway speeds, 60mph (96 kph). This may be misinterpreted as an out of balance
tire.
NOTE:
Do not attempt to rebalance the wheel/tire assembly until the vehicle has been driven for an
extended period (20 minutes or more) at highway speeds.
If the tires are flat-spotted, the vehicle vibration will go away after the tires are warmed up,
(normally 10 to 20 minutes of highway driving depending on outside temperatures). If highway
driving doesn't resolve the vehicle vibration, follow the procedures found in DealerCONNECT >
TechCONNECT > Group 22 - Tires and Wheels > Tire and Wheel Vibration.
Replacing tires should only be done as a last resort after all appropriate wheel and tire diagnostics
have been completed. U.S. dealers can contact the MOPAR tire program if assistance is needed
with obtaining any tire.

Tires: Description and Operation Tires
TIRE
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 application of brakes
- High-speed driving
- Taking turns at excessive speeds
- Striking curbs and other obstacles
- Operating vehicle with over or under inflated tire pressures
Radial ply tires are more prone to irregular tread wear. It is important to follow the tire rotation
interval on Tire Rotation. This will help to achieve a greater tread-life potential.
TIRE IDENTIFICATION
Tire type, size, load index and speed rating are encoded in the letters and numbers imprinted on
the side wall of the tire. Refer to the Tire Identification chart to decipher the code. For example
purposes, the tire size P225/60 R 16 97 T is used in the chart. An All Season type tire will also
have either M + S, M AND S, or M - S (indicating mud and snow traction) imprinted on the side
wall. An Extra or Light Load marking "XL" or "LL" may also be listed on the sidewall. The absence
of an "XL" or "LL" marking infers a standard load tire.

SPARE TIRE
A compact (temporary) spare tire and wheel assembly is standard equipment on this vehicle. A
full-size spare is available on some models.
Export vehicles are equipped with the TIREFIT tire repair kit as standard equipment in place of a
spare tire. It is to be used to repair small punctures in the tire as necessary. A compact spare tire is
optional.
The compact spare tire is designed for emergency use only. The original tire should be repaired or
replaced at the first opportunity, then reinstalled. Do not exceed speeds of 80 km/h (50 mph) when
using the compact spare tire.

Tires: Description and Operation Replacement Tires
REPLACEMENT TIRES
WARNING: Failure to equip the vehicle with tires having adequate speed capability can result in
sudden tire failure.
WARNING: In order to maintain the speed capability of the vehicle, replacement tires must have
speed ratings equal to or higher than those
fitted to the vehicle as original equipment. If tires with lower speed ratings are fitted, the vehicle's
handling may be affected and the speed capability of the vehicle may be lowered to the maximum
speed capability of the replacement tires. To avoid an accident resulting in severe or fatal injury,
consult the tire manufacturer in regards to maximum speed ratings.
It is recommended that tires equivalent to the original equipment tires be used when replacement is
needed.
Failure to use equivalent replacement tires may adversely affect the safety and handling of the
vehicle.
The original equipment tires provide a proper combination of many characteristics such as:
- Ride
- Noise
- Handling
- Durability
- Tread life
- Traction
- Rolling resistance
- Speed capability
The use of tires smaller than the minimum tire size approved for the vehicle can result in tire
overloading and failure.
Use tires that have the approved load rating for the vehicle and never overload them. Failure to
equip the vehicle with tires having adequate speed capability can result in sudden tire failure and
loss of vehicle control.
The use of oversize tires may cause interference with vehicle components. Under extremes of
suspension and steering travel, interference with vehicle components may cause tire damage.

Tires: Testing and Inspection Tire Wear Patterns
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.

Tires: Testing and Inspection Tread Wear Indicators
TREAD WEAR INDICATORS
Tread wear indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. When tread depth is 1.6
mm (1/16 in.), the tread wear indicators will appear as a 13 mm (1/2 in.) band (3).
Tire replacement is necessary when indicators appear in two or more grooves or if localized
balding occurs.

Cleaning
TIRE CLEANING
Before delivery of a vehicle, remove the protective coating on the tires with white sidewalls or
raised white letters. To remove the protective coating, apply warm water and let it soak for a few
minutes. Afterwards, scrub the coating away with a soft bristle brush. Steam cleaning may also be
used to remove the coating.
CAUTION: DO NOT use gasoline, mineral oil, oil-based solvent or a wire brush for cleaning.
Tire Inflation Pressures
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES
The specified tire pressures have been chosen to provide safe operation, vehicle stability, and a
smooth ride. The proper tire pressure specification can be found on the Tire And Loading
Information Label provided with the vehicle (usually on the driver's door opening (B-pillar) or rear
shutface of driver's door).
A quality air pressure gauge is recommended to check tire air pressure. Tire pressure should be
checked cold once per month. Check tire pressure more frequently when the weather temperature
varies widely. Tire pressure will decrease when the outdoor temperature drops. After checking the
air pressure, replace valve cap finger tight.
Inflation pressures specified on the Tire Inflation Pressure Label are always the cold inflation
pressure of the tire. Cold inflation pressure is obtained after the vehicle has not been operated for
at least 3 hours, or the vehicle is driven less than one mile after being inoperative for 3 hours. Tire
inflation pressures may increase from 2 to 6 pounds per square inch (psi) during operation. Do not
reduce this normal pressure buildup.
Improper inflation can cause:
- Uneven wear patterns
- Reduced tread life
- Reduced fuel economy
- Unsatisfactory ride
- The vehicle to drift.
WARNING: Over or Under inflated tires can affect vehicle handling. The tire can fail suddenly,
resulting in loss of vehicle control.
Under inflation causes rapid shoulder wear, tire flexing, and can result in tire failure (1).
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Service and

Tires: Removal and Replacement
TIRE LEAK REPAIRING
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 attempting to dismount the tire from the wheel. Use a lubricant 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 progressively tighten the five wheel nuts to a torque of 135 Nm (100 ft.
lbs.).

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
All vehicles use either steel or cast aluminum drop center wheels. The original equipment wheels
are designed for proper operation at all loads up to the specified maximum vehicle capacity.
Every wheel has raised sections between the rim flanges (1) and drop well (3) called safety humps
(2). In case of air loss, these raised sections help hold the tire in position on the wheel until the
vehicle can be brought to a safe stop. When being installed on the wheel, initial inflation of the tire
forces the tire bead over these raised sections into place.
The wheel studs and nuts are designed for specific wheel applications and must be replaced with
equivalent parts. Do not use replacement parts of lesser quality or of a substitute design. All
aluminum and steel wheels have wheel stud nuts with an enlarged nose. This enlarged nose is
necessary to ensure proper retention of the wheels.

WHEEL INSPECTION
Inspect wheels for:
- Excessive runout
- Dents, cracks or irregular bends
- Damaged wheel stud (lug) holes
- Air Leaks
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.
WARNING: Replacement with used wheels is 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 (93 degrees Celsius).
- 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.

WHEEL AND WHEEL TRIM CARE
All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated, should be cleaned regularly
using mild soap and water to maintain their luster and to prevent corrosion. Wash them with the
same soap solution recommended for the body of the vehicle.
When cleaning extremely dirty wheels, care must be taken in the selection of tire and wheel
cleaning chemicals and equipment to prevent damage to the wheels. Mopar(R) Tire AND Wheel
Cleaner, Mopar(R) Wheel Treatment or Mopar(R) Chrome Cleaner is recommended. Any of the
"DO NOT USE" items listed below can damage wheels and wheel trim.
DO NOT USE:
- Any abrasive cleaner
- Any abrasive cleaning pad (such as steel wool) or abrasive brush
- Any cleaner that contains an acid which can react with and discolor the chrome surface. Many
wheel cleaners contain acids that can harm the wheel surface.
- Oven cleaner
- A car wash that uses carbide-tipped wheel cleaning brushes or acidic solutions.

5. Clean the rotor mounting face of the hub and bearing (1) to remove any dirt or corrosion. 6.
Install the brake rotor (2) over the hub and bearing (1).
CAUTION: If the brake rotor or brake pads are being replaced, the rear caliper piston must be
seated (bottomed) to compensate for the new
brake rotor or lining. Because the parking brake self-adjuster mechanism is attached to the piston,
a special seating method is required. The only acceptable method is by rotating the piston back
into the bore using Retractor, Special Tool 8807, as described below. Any other seating method will
damage the self-adjuster mechanism.
7. If necessary, seat (bottom) the caliper piston in the bore as follows:
a. Assemble a 3/8 in. drive ratchet handle and an extension (3). b. Insert the extension through
Special Tool 8807-1 (2). c. Place Special Tool 8807-2 (1) on the end of the extension. d. Insert lugs
on Special Tool 8807-2 into notches in face of caliper piston (5). e. Thread the screw drive on
8807-1 down until it contacts the top of 8807-2 which is against the caliper piston. Do not over
tighten the
screw-drive. Damage to the piston can occur.
f. Turn 8807-2 with the ratchet, rotating the piston in a clockwise direction until fully seated
(bottomed) in the bore. It may be necessary to turn 8807-1 with 8807-2 to start the process of
piston retraction.

DESCRIPTION
The blend door actuators (1) for the front heating-A/C system are reversible, 12-volt direct current
(DC) servo motors. Models with the front single zone heating-A/C system have a single blend-air
door, which is controlled by a single blend door actuator. Models with the front dual zone
heating-A/C system have dual blend-air doors, which are controlled by two blend door actuators.
The blend door actuator for the single zone heating-A/C system is located on the driver side front
HVAC air distribution housing. For the dual zone heating-A/C system, the same blend door
actuator used for the single zone system becomes the driver side blend door actuator, which is
mechanically connected to only the driver side blend-air door. A second separate blend door
actuator is also located on the passenger side of the front air distribution housing which is
mechanically connected to only the passenger side blend-air door.
The blend door actuators are contained within a black molded plastic housing with an integral wire
connector receptacle (2). An output shaft with splines (3) connect the blend door actuators to the
blend door linkage. Three integral mounting tabs (4) allow the actuators to be secured to the air
distribution housing. The blend door actuators do not require mechanical indexing to the blend door
linkage, as they are electronically calibrated by the A/C-heater control.
The A/C-heater control must be recalibrated each time an actuator motor is replaced See: Testing
and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/HVAC System Test.
The blend door actuators are interchangeable with the actuators for the recirculation and mode-air
doors.

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. 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.

Front
OPERATION
The 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 instrument panel wire harness. The
mode door actuator can move the mode-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
mode-air door will move in one direction. When the A/C-heater control reverses the polarity of the
voltage to the motor, the mode-air door moves in the opposite direction. Once the A/C-heater
control makes the voltage to both connections high or both connections low, the 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 mode door actuator and the mode-air door. The A/C-heater control learns the
mode-air door stop positions during the calibration procedure and will store a diagnostic trouble
code (DTC) for any problems it detects in the mode door actuator circuits See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Tests and Associated Procedures.
The mode door actuator cannot be adjusted or repaired and it must be replaced if inoperative or
damaged.

Front
DESCRIPTION
The blend door actuators (1) for the front heating-A/C system are reversible, 12-volt direct current
(DC) servo motors. Models with the front single zone heating-A/C system have a single blend-air
door, which is controlled by a single blend door actuator. Models with the front dual zone
heating-A/C system have dual blend-air doors, which are controlled by two blend door actuators.
The blend door actuator for the single zone heating-A/C system is located on the driver side front
HVAC air distribution housing. For the dual zone heating-A/C system, the same blend door
actuator used for the single zone system becomes the driver side blend door actuator, which is
mechanically connected to only the driver side blend-air door. A second separate blend door
actuator is also located on the passenger side of the front air distribution housing which is
mechanically connected to only the passenger side blend-air door.
The blend door actuators are contained within a black molded plastic housing with an integral wire
connector receptacle (2). An output shaft with splines (3) connect the blend door actuators to the
blend door linkage. Three integral mounting tabs (4) allow the actuators to be secured to the air
distribution housing. The blend door actuators do not require mechanical indexing to the blend door
linkage, as they are electronically calibrated by the A/C-heater control.
The A/C-heater control must be recalibrated each time an actuator motor is replaced See: Testing

DESCRIPTION
The ambient air temperature sensor is a variable resistor that monitors the air temperature outside
of the vehicle. The ATC system uses the sensor data to maintain optimum cabin temperature
levels. The ambient air temperature sensor is mounted inside the front fascia.

Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Description and Operation Front Ambient
Temperature Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The ambient air temperature sensor is a variable resistor that operates on a 5-volt reference signal
sent by the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). The ambient air temperature sensor is
connected to the TIPM 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 TIPM. The TIPM converts and broadcasts the sensor data over the Controller Area Network
(CAN) IHS bus, where it is read by the ATC A/C-heater control, Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
and other 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.

Information and Instructions > Page 6926
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
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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 6938
- 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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 6939
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.

Blower Motor: Description and Operation Operation - Front
OPERATION
The blower motor controls the velocity of air moving through the HVAC housing by spinning the
blower wheel within the HVAC air inlet housing at the selected speed.
On the Manual Temperature Control (MTC) heating-A/C system, blower motor speed is controlled
by regulating the path to ground through the blower control switch and the blower motor resistor.
With the Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) heating-A/C system, blower motor speed is
controlled by an electronic blower motor power module, that uses a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM)
input from the A/C-heater control and a feedback signal from the blower motor to regulate the
blower motor ground path. On both systems, the blower motor receives battery current through the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) whenever the ignition switch is in the Run position, and
the blower motor control is in any position except Off.
The blower motor can be accessed for service from underneath the instrument panel.
NOTE: The blower motor is supplied with a 12 volt feed from the TIPM whenever the ignition switch
is in the Run position. Due to an open
circuit condition within the blower motor control switch, the TIPM is unable to detect an open circuit
for the blower motor.
The blower motor control system 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 and blower motor wheel are factory balanced as an assembly and cannot be
adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or damaged.

OPERATION
The blower motor resistor is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take
out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness. The blower motor resistor has three
resistors, each of which will reduce the current flow through the blower motor to change the blower
motor speed.
The blower motor control for the heating-A/C system directs the ground path for the blower motor
through the correct resistor 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 resistors.
Each higher speed selected with the blower motor control applies the blower motor ground path
through fewer of the resistors, increasing the blower motor speed. When the blower motor control
is in the highest speed position, the blower motor resistor is bypassed and the blower motor
receives a direct path to ground.
The blower motor resistor cannot be adjusted or repaired and it must be replaced if inoperative or
damaged.

NOTE: Typical A/C clutch assembly shown.
The clutch assembly for the Denso 10SR15 and 10SR17 fixed displacement A/C compressors
consists of a stationary electromagnetic A/C clutch field coil (4), pulley bearing and pulley assembly
(3), clutch plate (2) and shims (7). These components provide the means to engage and disengage
the A/C compressor from the engine accessory drive belt.
The A/C clutch field coil and the pulley bearing and pulley assembly are both retained on the nose
of the A/C compressor with snap rings (5 and 6). The clutch plate is splined to the compressor
shaft and secured with a bolt (1).

Compressor Clutch: Description and Operation A/C Compressor Clutch - Operation
CLUTCH - FIXED DISPLACEMENT A/C COMPRESSOR
The clutch components for the Denso 10SR15 and 10SR17 fixed displacement A/C compressor
provide the means to engage and disengage the 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.
A/C compressor clutch engagement is controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM) or the
engine control module (ECM), depending on engine application. When the A/C-heater control is set
to any A/C position, it sends a request signal on the CAN-IHS bus to the totally integrated power
module (TIPM), which then transfers the request on the CAN-C Bus to the PCM/ECM, which
determines if operating conditions are correct for A/C clutch engagement. When all operating
conditions have been met, the PCM/ECM sends a signal on a dedicated hard-wired circuit back to
the totally integrated power module (TIPM) to energize the internal A/C clutch high side driver.
When energized, the A/C clutch high side driver provides battery current to the A/C clutch field coil.
The A/C clutch control system 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 compressor clutch components cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if
inoperative or damaged.

PRELIMINARY CHECKS
1. Using a scan tool, check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) in the A/C-heater control, TIPM
and PCM/ECM. If no diagnostic trouble codes
(DTCs) are found, go to 2. If any DTCs are found, repair as required.
2. If the A/C 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 COIL RESISTANCE TEST and/or COIL
CURRENT DRAW TEST. If the refrigerant charge level is not OK, adjust the refrigerant charge as
required.
COIL RESISTANCE TEST
1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable. 2. Disconnect the wire harness connector
from the A/C clutch field coil connector. 3. Use an ohm meter and Back Probe Tool 6801 and
measure the resistance of the clutch field coil at the field coil connector terminals. 4. Refer to the
A/C Clutch Field Coil Specifications chart for the acceptable A/C clutch coil resistance.
Specifications apply for a work area
temperature of 21° C (70° F). a. If the A/C clutch coil reading is below specifications, the coil is
shorted and must be replaced. b. If the A/C clutch coil reading is above specifications, the coil is
open and must be replaced.
COIL CURRENT DRAW TEST
1. Verify the battery state of charge See: Starting and Charging/Battery/Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Battery. 2. Connect an ammeter (0 to 10
ampere scale selected) in series with the clutch 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 heater-A/C 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. Refer to the A/C Clutch Field Coil Specifications chart for the acceptable A/C clutch field coil
current draw. 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.

DESCRIPTION
NOTE: A/C condenser with automatic transmission cooler shown. A/C Condenser without cooler
similar.
The A/C condenser (1) is located in the front of the engine compartment behind the grille. 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 cool and change to a liquid state.
The A/C condenser is equipped with mounting tabs (3), a tapping block for the A/C discharge and
liquid lines (4) and a tapping block for the integral automatic transmission cooler (2), when
equipped with an automatic transaxle.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Condenser HVAC > Component Information > Description and
Operation > A/C Condenser - Description > Page 7013
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. 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.

AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL (ATC) DUAL ZONE
The A/C-heater control for the Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) dual zone front heating-A/C
system allows both the driver and the front seat passenger the ability to individually regulate air
temperature for their side of the vehicle. An infrared sensor located in the overhead console
detects thermal radiation emitted by the front seat occupants and their surroundings. Based on the
sensor input, the system automatically adjusts the air temperature, airflow volume, airflow
distribution and amount of inside air recirculation to maintain front seat occupant comfort, even
under changing outside weather conditions. All controls are identified by ISO graphic symbols.
The ATC dual zone heating-A/C system uses a dedicated microprocessor to automatically drive the
electrically operated door actuators. The ATC A/C-heater control obtains vehicle speed, engine
speed, engine coolant temperature, ambient temperature and refrigerant system pressure. The
ATC A/C-heater control communicates with other electrical modules in the vehicle over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) IHC bus.
This ATC system provides the vehicle operator with a number of setting options to help control the
climate and comfort within the vehicle and offers several manual override features such as fan
speed, airflow distribution, defrost mode and when the outside air contains smoke, odors or high
humidity, the interior air can be manually recirculated.

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 instrument panel wire harness. A second lead and connector of the
instrument panel wire harness is connected to 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 which 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 must be replaced if inoperative or

DESCRIPTION
NOTE: LHD model shown.
The A/C evaporator (1) for the heating-A/C system is mounted in the HVAC housing, which is
located behind the instrument panel. The A/C evaporator and its insulator (2) are positioned within
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.
A tapping block (3) and O-ring seals (4) are used to connect and seal the A/C evaporator tubes (5)
to the A/C expansion valve.
The A/C evaporator can only be serviced by removing and disassembling the HVAC housing
assembly.

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.

air entering the housing must pass over the evaporator fins (3) before it is distributed through the
rear heating-A/C system ducts and outlets. However, air passing over the rear evaporator fins will
only be conditioned when the A/C compressor is engaged and circulating refrigerant through the
A/C evaporator.
The A/C expansion valve is connected and sealed to the A/C evaporator tubes (2) by use of rubber
O-ring seals and a tapping plate (1).
The rear A/C evaporator can only be serviced by removing and disassembling the rear heater-A/C

Temperature Sensor - Description
DESCRIPTION
The evaporator temperature sensor measures the temperature of the conditioned air downstream
of the A/C evaporator. The evaporator temperature sensor is an electrical thermistor (1) mounted
on the end of a molded plastic housing (2) that is inserted into the driver side of the HVAC housing
near the coldest point of the A/C evaporator. The evaporator temperature sensor is retained in the
HVAC housing by two integral retaining tabs (3) and is connected to the vehicle electrical system
by use of a wire lead and connector (4) with two terminals.

Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Front Evaporator
Temperature Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The evaporator temperature sensor monitors the surface temperature of 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.
The A/C-heater control uses the monitored voltage reading as an indication of evaporator
temperature. The A/C-heater control is programmed to respond to this input by requesting the
powertrain control module (PCM) or the engine control module (ECM) (depending on engine
application) to adjust the compressor swash plate angle as necessary to optimize A/C system
performance and to protect the A/C system from evaporator freezing See: Compressor
HVAC/Description and Operation/A/C Compressor - Operation.
The evaporator temperature sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool.
The evaporator temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and it 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 high-pressure, low temperature liquid refrigerant from the
A/C liquid line and converts it into a low-pressure, low-temperature mixture of liquid and gas before
it enters the A/C evaporator. A mechanical sensor in the A/C expansion valve monitors the
temperature and pressure of the refrigerant leaving the A/C evaporator through the A/C suction
line, and adjusts the orifice size at the liquid line port to let the proper amount of refrigerant into the
evaporator to meet the vehicle A/C cooling requirements. Controlling the refrigerant flow through
the A/C evaporator ensures that none of the refrigerant leaving the A/C evaporator is still in a liquid
state, which could damage the A/C compressor.
NOTE: Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals is required anytime a refrigerant line is
disconnected from the expansion valve, or if
the expansion valve is removed. Failure to replace the rubber O-ring seals may 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.

The rear 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 rear A/C evaporator. To meet the vehicles A/C cooling requirements, a
mechanical sensor is used in the rear A/C expansion valve to monitor the temperature and
pressure of the refrigerant leaving the rear 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 rear 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.

A/C EXPANSION VALVE
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: The A/C expansion valve should only be tested following testing of the A/C compressor.
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.
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:
1. Connect a charging station or manifold gauge set to the refrigerant system service ports. Verify
the refrigerant charge level. 2. Close all doors, windows and vents to the passenger compartment.
3. Set the A/C-heater controls so that the A/C compressor is operating, the temperature control is
in the highest temperature position, the mode-air
doors is directing air output to the floor and the blower motor operating is operating at the highest
speed.
4. 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.
5. If the refrigerant charge is sufficient, the discharge (high pressure) gauge should read 827 kPa to
1655 kPa (120 psi to 240 psi). The suction (low
pressure) gauge should read 207 kPa to 345 kPa (30 psi to 50 psi). If OK, go to 6. If not OK,
replace the inoperative A/C expansion valve.
WARNING:
Protect the skin and eyes from exposure to liquid CO2 or personal injury can result.
6. If the suction (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 suction (low pressure) gauge reading should drop by 69 kPa (10 psi). If OK, go to
7. If not OK, replace the inoperative A/C expansion valve.
7. Allow the expansion valve control head to thaw. The suction (low pressure) gauge reading
should stabilize at 207 kPa to 345 kPa (30 psi to 50
psi). If not OK, replace the inoperative A/C expansion valve.
8. When expansion valve testing is complete, test the overall A/C system performance See:
Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics.

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 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 it must be replaced if inoperative, 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.

Description and Operation > Front
Housing Assembly HVAC: Description and Operation Front
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: LHD model shown.
All models are equipped with a common HVAC housing assembly that combines A/C and heating
capabilities into a single unit mounted within the passenger compartment. The HVAC housing
assembly consists of three separate housings:
- HVAC housing - The HVAC housing (1) is mounted to the dash panel behind the instrument panel
and contains the A/C evaporator. The HVAC housing consists of an upper and a lower housing that
are attached together and has mounting provisions for the air inlet housing, blower motor and the
air distribution housing.
- Air distribution housing - The air distribution housing (2) is mounted to the rear of the HVAC
housing and contains the heater core, blend-air and mode-air doors and door linkage.
- Air inlet housing - The air inlet housing (3) is mounted to the passenger side end of the HVAC
housing and contains the recirculation-air door and actuator.
The heating-A/C system is a blend-air type system. The blend-air door controls the amount of
conditioned air that is allowed to flow through, or around the heater core.
The A/C system is designed for the use of a non-CFC, R-134a refrigerant and uses an A/C
evaporator 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 electric blend door
actuator, which moves the blend-air door. This allows an almost immediate control of the output air
temperature of the system. The electric mode door actuator operates the mode-air door. The
electric recirculation door actuator operates the recirculation-air door which closes off the fresh air
intake into the HVAC housing and recirculates the air already inside the vehicle. The blower motor
controls the velocity of air flowing through the HVAC housing assembly by spinning the blower
wheel within the HVAC housing at the selected speed by use of the blower motor resistor or power
module (depending on application), which is located on the bottom of the HVAC housing. The
actuators, resistor or power module and the blower motor are connected to the vehicle electrical
system by the instrument panel wire harness.
The air distribution housing must be removed from the HVAC housing and disassembled for
service of the blend-air and mode-air doors. The air inlet housing must be removed from HVAC
housing and disassembled for service of the recirculation-air door. The HVAC housing must be
removed from the vehicle and disassembled for service of the A/C evaporator.

Housing Assembly HVAC: Description and Operation Rear
DESCRIPTION
Models with the rear heating-A/C system use a rear heater-A/C housing (1) that combines A/C and
heating capabilities into a single unit mounted within the rear passenger compartment. The rear
heating-A/C system is a blend-air type system. A blend-air door controls the amount of conditioned
air that is allowed to flow through, or around, the heater core (9). The rear A/C system is designed
for the use of a non-CFC, R-134a refrigerant and uses an A/C expansion valve (7) and A/C
evaporator (6) 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
(3), which moves the blend-air door. This allows an almost immediate control of the output air
temperature of the rear system. The mode control operates the mode door actuator (2) that
positions the mode-air door to direct the flow of the conditioned air out the upper or lower air
outlets, depending on the position selected. Both electric door actuators are connected to the
vehicle electrical system by the rear heater-A/C wire harness (8). The rear blower motor (4)
controls the velocity of air flowing through the rear heater-A/C housing by spinning the blower
wheel within the rear housing at the selected speed by use of the rear blower motor resistor or
power module (5) (depending on manual or automatic control).
The rear heater-A/C housing must be removed from the vehicle for service of the mode door
actuator and blend door actuator and it must be disassembled for service of the A/C evaporator
and the heater core.

Receiver Dryer: Description and Operation Front A/C Receiver Drier - Description
DESCRIPTION
The A/C receiver/drier (1) stores unused refrigerant, filters the refrigerant, helps remove moisture
from the refrigerant and retains any refrigerant vapor that may leave the A/C condenser until it
becomes a liquid.
The A/C receiver/drier is installed on the high-side of the A/C system, below the engine
compartment behind the right side of the front fascia and is connected to the right side of the A/C
condenser by an integral refrigerant line (2). An integral mounting bracket (5) secures the A/C
receiver/drier to the right front frame rail and the connections are sealed by use of rubber O-ring
seals (3) and metal gaskets (4).

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 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 the A/C receiver/drier is
disconnected.
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.

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 poly alkylene 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.

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 these instructions
may result in serious or fatal injury.
NOTE: If equipped with the rear heating-A/C system, use a heat gun to heat the underbody lines to
help remove any trapped refrigerant from
the rear A/C system.
When servicing the A/C system, a 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.). Refer to the operating instructions supplied by the equipment manufacturer for proper care
and use of this equipment.

REFRIGERANT SYSTEM EVACUATE
CAUTION: Do NOT run the engine with a vacuum pump in operation or with a vacuum present
within the A/C system. Failure to follow this
caution will result in serious A/C compressor damage.
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 A/C compressor.
If an A/C 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. With
the engine OFF, 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. Do not operate the
engine with a vacuum on the A/C system.
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 to the lowest degree of vacuum
possible (approximately -88 kPa (- 26 in. Hg) 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.

DESCRIPTION
The refrigerant oil used in R-134a refrigerant systems is a synthetic-based, poly alkylene glycol
(PAG), wax-free lubricant. Mineral-based R-12 refrigerant oils are not compatible with PAG oils and
should never be introduced to an R-134a refrigerant system.
There are different PAG oils available and each contain a different additive package. Always use
only the type of refrigerant oil recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
CAUTION: Be certain to adjust the refrigerant system oil level when replacing an A/C compressor
See: Service and Repair/Refrigerant Oil Level
. Failure to properly adjust the refrigerant oil level can prevent the A/C system from operating as
designed and can cause serious A/C compressor damage.
The A/C compressors used in this vehicle is designed to use ND-8 PAG refrigerant oil. Use only
this type of refrigerant oil in the refrigerant system.

OPERATION
After performing any refrigerant recovery or recycling operation, always replenish the refrigerant
system with the same amount of the recommended refrigerant oil as was removed. Too little
refrigerant oil can cause 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.

Refrigerant Oil: Service and Repair
REFRIGERANT OIL LEVEL
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: Be certain to adjust the refrigerant system oil level when replacing an A/C compressor.
Drain the refrigerant oil from the A/C
compressor using the procedures described below. Failure to properly drain the refrigerant oil from
the A/C compressor can prevent the A/C system from operating as designed and cause serious
compressor damage.
CAUTION: ND-8 PAG refrigerant oil is used in the A/C system. Only refrigerant oil of the same type
should be used to service this R-134a
A/C system. Do not use any other refrigerant oil. The refrigerant oil container should be kept tightly
capped until it is ready for use and then tightly capped after use to prevent contamination from
moisture and dirt. Refrigerant oil will quickly absorb any moisture it comes in contact with,
therefore, special effort must be used to keep all R-134a system components moisture-free.
Moisture in the 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 amount of refrigerant oil being removed
during the recovery process. This
amount of refrigerant oil should always be added back into the refrigerant system. Refer to the
reclaim/recycling equipment manufacturers instructions.
It will not be necessary to check the oil level within the A/C refrigerant system or to add oil, unless
there has been an oil loss. A refrigerant oil loss may occur due to component replacement or a
rupture or leak from a refrigerant line, connector fitting, component or component seal. If a leak
does occurs, add 30 milliliters (1 fluid ounce) of the recommended 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 receiver/drier, A/C evaporator or A/C condenser is
replaced. Refer to the Refrigerant Oil Capacities charts.
The refrigerant oil level in a new A/C compressor must first be adjusted prior to compressor
installation. Refer to the following COMPRESSOR OIL DRAIN PROCEDURE.
REFRIGERANT OIL CAPACITIES
COMPRESSOR OIL DRAIN PROCEDURE - DENSO 6SEU16 VARIABLE DISPLACEMENT
CAUTION: Be certain to adjust the refrigerant system oil level when replacing an A/C compressor.
The refrigerant oil in the Denso 6SEU16
A/C compressor can only be drained using the procedure described below. Failure to properly drain
the refrigerant oil from the A/C compressor can prevent the A/C system from operating as designed
and cause serious compressor damage.
If the Denso 6SEU16 A/C compressor is being replaced, some refrigerant oil must first be drained
from the replacement A/C compressor. The 6SEU16 A/C compressor is filled with 100 milliliters
(3.4 oz.) from the factory. Drain 50 milliliters (1.7 oz.) of refrigerant oil from the replacement
6SEU16 compressor. Use the following procedure to drain and measure refrigerant oil from the

1. Place the replacement A/C compressor (2) on a workbench and remove the drain plug (1).
CAUTION: The 6SEU16 A/C compressor is filled with 100 milliliters (3.4 oz.) from the factory. Drain
50 milliliters (1.7 oz.) of refrigerant oil
from the new 6SEU16 compressor when replacing only the compressor.
NOTE: When replacing multiple A/C system components, see the Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart
to determine how much oil should be
removed from the replacement A/C compressor (example: new 6SEU16 compressor and
receiver/drier requires 80 ml. (2.7 oz.) of oil to be added to the system. 100 ml. (3.4 oz.) of oil is in
replacement compressor. 100 ml. (3.4 oz.) minus 80 ml. (2.7 oz.) equals 20 ml. (0.7 oz.) oil to be
drained from replacement compressor).
2. Position the replacement A/C compressor so that the refrigerant oil can drain out of the drain
port into a suitable clean measured container. Hold
the replacement A/C compressor in this position until the required amount of refrigerant oil is
drained from the compressor.
CAUTION: Failure to properly adjust the refrigerant oil level prior to installation of a replacement
compressor can prevent the A/C system
from operating as designed and cause serious compressor damage.
3. Reinstall the drain plug. Tighten the drain plug securely. 4. Install the replacement A/C
compressor onto the engine See: Compressor HVAC/Service and Repair/A/C Compressor Installation.

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 liquid
line at the right front corner of the engine compartment. An internally threaded fitting on the A/C
pressure transducer connects it to the externally threaded Schrader-type fitting. A rubber O-ring
seals the connection between the A/C pressure transducer and the A/C liquid 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 7265
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 A/C discharge line. The internal resistance of the A/C
pressure transducer changes in response to the pressures it monitors.
The Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) provides a five volt reference signal and a sensor
ground to the A/C pressure transducer. The TIPM then monitors the output voltage of the
transducer on a sensor return circuit to determine refrigerant pressure and sends a message to the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or the Engine Control Module (ECM) (depending on engine
application) over the CAN C BUS.
With 3.5L 5-Passenger and all 7-Passenger models, the PCM is programmed to respond to this
and other sensor inputs by controlling the operation of the swash plate within the A/C compressor
and the radiator cooling fan to help optimize A/C system performance and to protect the system
components from damage. The PCM adjusts the swash plate to nearly a zero degree angle (low
compressor displacement) when high side pressure rises above 3130 kPa (454 psi) and readjusts
the swash plate to a greater angle (higher compressor displacement) when high side pressure
drops below 1999 kPa (290 psi). The A/C pressure transducer also reduces the swash plate angle
if the high side pressure drops below 200 kPa (29 psi) and will increase the swash plate angle
when the high side pressure rises above 234 - 262 kPa (34 - 38 psi). When the refrigerant pressure
rises above 1655 kPa (240 psi), the PCM will actuate the cooling fan.
With 2.4L 5-Passenger models, A/C compressor clutch engagement is controlled by the PCM or
ECM, depending on engine application. When the A/C-heater control is set to any A/C position, it
sends a request signal on the CAN-IHS bus to the TIPM, which then transfers the request on the
CAN-C Bus to the PCM/ECM, which determines if operating conditions are correct for A/C clutch
engagement. When all operating conditions have been met, the PCM/ECM sends a signal on a
dedicated hard-wired circuit back to the TIPM to energize the internal A/C clutch high side driver.
When energized, the A/C clutch high side driver provides battery current to the A/C clutch field coil.
A Schrader-type valve in the A/C discharge line fitting permits the A/C pressure transducer to be
removed or installed without disturbing the refrigerant in the A/C system.
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.

Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Description and Operation Front Ambient
Temperature Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The ambient air temperature sensor is a variable resistor that operates on a 5-volt reference signal
sent by the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). The ambient air temperature sensor is
connected to the TIPM 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 TIPM. The TIPM converts and broadcasts the sensor data over the Controller Area Network
(CAN) IHS bus, where it is read by the ATC A/C-heater control, Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
and other 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.

Temperature Sensor - Description
DESCRIPTION
The evaporator temperature sensor measures the temperature of the conditioned air downstream
of the A/C evaporator. The evaporator temperature sensor is an electrical thermistor (1) mounted
on the end of a molded plastic housing (2) that is inserted into the driver side of the HVAC housing
near the coldest point of the A/C evaporator. The evaporator temperature sensor is retained in the
HVAC housing by two integral retaining tabs (3) and is connected to the vehicle electrical system
by use of a wire lead and connector (4) with two terminals.

Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Front Evaporator
Temperature Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The evaporator temperature sensor monitors the surface temperature of 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.
The A/C-heater control uses the monitored voltage reading as an indication of evaporator
temperature. The A/C-heater control is programmed to respond to this input by requesting the
powertrain control module (PCM) or the engine control module (ECM) (depending on engine
application) to adjust the compressor swash plate angle as necessary to optimize A/C system
performance and to protect the A/C system from evaporator freezing See: Compressor
HVAC/Description and Operation/A/C Compressor - Operation.
The evaporator temperature sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool.
The evaporator temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and it 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 liquid
line at the right front corner of the engine compartment. An internally threaded fitting on the A/C
pressure transducer connects it to the externally threaded Schrader-type fitting. A rubber O-ring
seals the connection between the A/C pressure transducer and the A/C liquid line fitting. The A/C
pressure transducer is connected to the vehicle electrical system by a molded plastic connector
with three terminals.

Page 7339
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 A/C discharge line. The internal resistance of the A/C
pressure transducer changes in response to the pressures it monitors.
The Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) provides a five volt reference signal and a sensor
ground to the A/C pressure transducer. The TIPM then monitors the output voltage of the
transducer on a sensor return circuit to determine refrigerant pressure and sends a message to the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or the Engine Control Module (ECM) (depending on engine
application) over the CAN C BUS.
With 3.5L 5-Passenger and all 7-Passenger models, the PCM is programmed to respond to this
and other sensor inputs by controlling the operation of the swash plate within the A/C compressor
and the radiator cooling fan to help optimize A/C system performance and to protect the system
components from damage. The PCM adjusts the swash plate to nearly a zero degree angle (low
compressor displacement) when high side pressure rises above 3130 kPa (454 psi) and readjusts
the swash plate to a greater angle (higher compressor displacement) when high side pressure
drops below 1999 kPa (290 psi). The A/C pressure transducer also reduces the swash plate angle
if the high side pressure drops below 200 kPa (29 psi) and will increase the swash plate angle
when the high side pressure rises above 234 - 262 kPa (34 - 38 psi). When the refrigerant pressure
rises above 1655 kPa (240 psi), the PCM will actuate the cooling fan.
With 2.4L 5-Passenger models, A/C compressor clutch engagement is controlled by the PCM or
ECM, depending on engine application. When the A/C-heater control is set to any A/C position, it
sends a request signal on the CAN-IHS bus to the TIPM, which then transfers the request on the
CAN-C Bus to the PCM/ECM, which determines if operating conditions are correct for A/C clutch
engagement. When all operating conditions have been met, the PCM/ECM sends a signal on a
dedicated hard-wired circuit back to the TIPM to energize the internal A/C clutch high side driver.
When energized, the A/C clutch high side driver provides battery current to the A/C clutch field coil.
A Schrader-type valve in the A/C discharge line fitting permits the A/C pressure transducer to be
removed or installed without disturbing the refrigerant in the A/C system.
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.

DESCRIPTION
The infrared temperature sensor is located in the overhead console and consists of an infrared
transducer concealed behind a clear lens (2) in a molded plastic housing with an integral wire
connector receptacle (1) and mounting tab (3).
The infrared sensor is used only on models equipped with the automatic temperature control (ATC)
heating-A/C system.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Infrared Temperature Sensor - Description > Page 7354
Solar Sensor: Description and Operation Infrared Temperature Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The infrared sensor detects thermal radiation emitted by the driver and front passenger seat
occupants and surroundings and converts its data into a linear Pulse Width Modulated (PWM)
output signal which 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 levels. 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 A/C-heater control
continually monitors the infrared sensor circuits, and will store Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
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.

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 may result in an
accidental airbag deployment and possible serious 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 or 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 instrument panel 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.

Solar Sensor: Description and Operation Infrared Temperature Sensor - Description
DESCRIPTION
The infrared temperature sensor is located in the overhead console and consists of an infrared
transducer concealed behind a clear lens (2) in a molded plastic housing with an integral wire
connector receptacle (1) and mounting tab (3).
The infrared sensor is used only on models equipped with the automatic temperature control (ATC)
heating-A/C system.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Solar Sensor, HVAC > Component Information > Description
and Operation > Infrared Temperature Sensor - Description > Page 7380
Solar Sensor: Description and Operation Infrared Temperature Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The infrared sensor detects thermal radiation emitted by the driver and front passenger seat
occupants and surroundings and converts its data into a linear Pulse Width Modulated (PWM)
output signal which 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 levels. 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 A/C-heater control
continually monitors the infrared sensor circuits, and will store Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
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.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Solar Sensor, HVAC > Component Information > Description
and Operation > Infrared Temperature Sensor - Description > Page 7382
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.

SUN SENSOR
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 may result in an
accidental airbag deployment and possible serious 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 or 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 instrument panel 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 instrument panel top pad must be replaced.
The seat belt tensioners are deployed in conjunction with front airbags, but can also be deployed
with seat (thorax) or side airbags. The seat belt tensioners must be replaced if either front airbag
has been deployed, and must be inspected if either seat or side airbag has been deployed. If a
seat airbag is deployed, the seat back frame, the seat back foam and the seat back trim cover on
the same side of the vehicle as the deployed airbag must also be replaced.
If a side curtain airbag has been deployed, the headliner as well as the upper A, B, C and, on
vehicles with the optional seven-passenger seating, the 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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Repairs and Inspections Required After a Collision > System Information
> Service and Repair > Page 7393
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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Repairs and Inspections Required After a Collision > System Information
> Service and Repair > Page 7394
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.

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 near the base of the
dash panel and just forward on the center instrument panel support 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, electronic impact sensors and an
energy storage capacitor. A stamped metal cover plate is secured to the bottom of the ORC
housing with five screws to enclose and protect the internal electronic circuitry and components.
An arrow 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 three integral mounting tabs and two integral locating pins. The molded plastic
electrical connector (3), with two receptacles containing numerous terminal pins, exits the rearward
facing side of the ORC housing. These terminal pins connect the ORC to the vehicle electrical
system through two dedicated take outs and connectors, one from the body wire harness and one
from the instrument panel wire harness.
The impact sensors 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 side curtain airbags or seat (thorax) airbags, with or without third row seating as well as
for those vehicles with domestic or export applications. These variations are necessary for both
equipment needs and for compliance with certain regulatory requirements. 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.
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 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 Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM), and a fused output (run-start) circuit
through a second fuse in the TIPM. The ORC receives ground through a ground circuit and take
out of the instrument panel wire harness that is secured by a ground screw to the body sheet
metal. 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.
Various impact sensors within the ORC are continuously monitored by the ORC logic. These
internal sensors, along with several external impact sensor inputs allow the ORC to determine both
the severity of an impact and to verify the necessity for deployment of any airbags. Two remote
front impact sensors are located on the back of the front end module carrier to the right and left of
the cooling module 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 up to six additional remote side
impact sensors located on the left and right front door module carriers, on the right and left lower
C-pillars and, on vehicles equipped with optional third row seating, on the right and left quarter
inner panels to control deployment of the side curtain airbag units and seat (thorax) airbags.
The impact sensors within the ORC are electronic accelerometer sensors that provide an additional
logic input to the ORC microprocessor. These sensors are used to verify the need for a SRS
component deployment by also 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. On vehicles equipped with side curtain airbags or seat airbags, a separate impact sensor
within the ORC provides confirmation to the ORC microprocessor of side impact forces. This
separate 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 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, the seat airbags 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.

Clockspring Assembly / Spiral Cable: Description and Operation Clockspring - Description
DESCRIPTION
The clockspring (3) for this vehicle is secured near the top of the steering column below the
steering wheel. The clockspring also includes an integral, internal turn signal cancel cam and a
Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) that are both serviced as a unit with the clockspring. The clockspring
also supports the left (lighting) multi-function switch (1), the Steering Control Module (SCM) internal
to the left multi-function switch housing (2), and the right (wiper) multi-function switch (6). Each of
these switches and the jumper wire harness (5) between the two multi-function switches can be
separated from and are serviced individually from the clockspring.
The clockspring case includes integral tabs for mounting the unit with three screws to the steering
column lock housing as well as integral provisions for mounting and supporting both multi-function
switches. The multi-function switches are each secured to the clockspring with a single screw (7).
The SAS within the clockspring includes an electronic circuit board and a microprocessor, which
allows it to communicate with other electronic modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area
Network (CAN) data bus. The SAS circuitry, the clockspring, and the turn signal cancel cam are all
contained within a flat, molded plastic case.
The clockspring case includes three connector receptacles that face toward the instrument panel.
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, two short pigtail wires with connectors, and a
connector receptacle that faces toward the steering wheel. The lower surface of the rotor has an
integral dowel or drive pin that also faces toward the steering wheel. Wound around the rotor spool
within the case 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 two of the connector
receptacles that face the instrument panel, while the inner end of the tape terminates at the pigtail
wires and connector receptacle on the hub of the clockspring rotor that face the steering wheel.
The outer surface of the rotor hub rim within the clockspring case also has the integral lobes of the
turn signal cancel cam.
The service replacement clockspring is shipped pre-centered and with a molded plastic locking pin
(4) installed. The locking pin secures the centered clockspring rotor to the clockspring case during
shipment and handling, but must be removed after the clockspring is installed on the steering
column and the steering wheel is installed. See: Service and Repair/Procedures.
The clockspring cannot be repaired. If the clockspring is ineffective, damaged, or if the driver airbag
has been deployed, the clockspring/turn signal cancel cam/SAS unit 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 certain 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 switch, the remote radio
switches and the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) control switches, if the vehicle is so
equipped. The clockspring is positioned and secured near the top of the steering column. The fixed
connector receptacles on the back of the fixed clockspring case connect the clockspring to the
vehicle electrical system through three take outs with connectors from the instrument panel wire
harness.
The turn signal cancel cam is integral to the rim of the clockspring rotor hub within the clockspring
case so it also moves with the rotation of the steering wheel. Two short, black-sleeved pigtail wires
on the upper surface of the clockspring rotor connect the clockspring to the driver airbag, while a
steering wheel wire harness connected to the connector receptacle on the upper surface of the
clockspring rotor complete circuits to the horn switch, the speed control switch and, if the vehicle is
so equipped, to the optional remote radio switches and EVIC control switches on the steering
wheel. The third connector receptacle is dedicated to the inputs and outputs of the Steering Angle
Sensor (SAS) internal to the clockspring case.
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 steering wheel is removed from the
steering column, 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 other
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 steering wheel has been installed on the steering
column. If the locking pin is removed before the steering wheel is installed on a steering column,
the clockspring centering procedure must be performed. See: Service and Repair/Procedures.
Proper clockspring installation may be confirmed by viewing the SAS data using a diagnostic scan
tool.
The hard wired clockspring circuits as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the SAS 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 SAS or the electronic controls or communication between other modules and devices that
provide features of the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) or Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS). The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the SAS or the electronic
controls and communication related to ESP or SRS operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

CLOCKSPRING CENTERING
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 battery negative
(ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing
further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper
precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
NOTE: A service replacement clockspring is shipped with the clockspring pre-centered and with a
molded plastic locking pin installed. This
locking pin should not be removed until the steering wheel has been installed on the steering
column. If the locking pin is removed before the steering wheel is installed, the clockspring
centering procedure must be performed.
NOTE: When a clockspring is installed into a vehicle without properly centering and locking the
entire steering system, the Steering Angle
Sensor (SAS) data does not agree with the true position of the steering system and causes the
Electronic Stability Program (ESP) system to shut down. This may also damage the clockspring
without any immediate malfunction. Unlike some other Chrysler vehicles, this SAS never requires
calibration. However, upon each new ignition ON cycle, the steering wheel must be rotated slightly
to initialize the SAS.
NOTE: Determining if the clockspring/SAS is centered is also possible electrically using the
diagnostic scan tool. Steering wheel position is
displayed as ANGLE with a range of up to 900 degrees. Refer to the appropriate menu item on the
diagnostic scan tool.
NOTE: Before starting this procedure, be certain to turn the steering wheel until the front wheels
are in the straight-ahead position and that
the entire steering system is locked or inhibited from rotation.
NOTE: The clockspring may be centered and the rotor may be rotated freely once the steering
wheel has been removed.
1. Place the front wheels in the straight-ahead position and inhibit the steering column shaft from
rotation. 2. Remove the steering wheel from the steering shaft. See: Steering and
Suspension/Steering/Steering Wheel/Service and Repair/Removal. 3. Rotate the clockspring rotor
(1) clockwise to the end of its travel. Do not apply excessive torque. 4. From the end of the
clockwise travel, rotate the rotor about two and one-half turns counterclockwise. Turn the rotor
slightly clockwise or
counterclockwise as necessary so that the clockspring airbag pigtail wires (3) and connector
receptacle are at the top and the dowel or drive pin (5) is at the bottom.
5. The clockspring is now centered. Secure the clockspring rotor to the clockspring case using a
locking pin (2) or some similar device to maintain
clockspring centering until the steering wheel is reinstalled on the steering column.

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation Impact Sensor - Operation
Vehicle Front
VEHICLE FRONT
The acceleration-type 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 front 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 commands 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 current in the sensor plus circuit.
The hard wired circuits between the acceleration-type 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 (SRS). The most reliable,
efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the impact sensors or the electronic controls and
communication related to acceleration-type front impact sensor operation requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
Side - Front Door
SIDE - FRONT DOOR
The pressure-type front door side impact sensors recognize a side impact in the front door area by
monitoring changes in pressure within the front door cavity, which manifests itself as a sudden
pressure wave as the door collapses during an impact. Each sensor also contains an electronic

Seat Position Sensor: Description and Operation Seat Track Position Sensor - Description
DESCRIPTION
The seat track position sensor (2) is a Hall Effect-type sensor used on some vehicles. 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 a mounting slot containing an integral latch feature (1) and slides and
latches onto a stamped metal blade-type bracket located on the inboard side of the upper inboard
seat adjuster track near the rear of the driver side front seat. A molded connector receptacle (3)
integral to the sensor housing is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a connector
and take out of the driver side front 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.

Description and Operation > Seat Track Position Sensor - Description > Page 7485
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 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 sends messages over the 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.

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 near the base of the
dash panel and just forward on the center instrument panel support 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, electronic impact sensors and an
energy storage capacitor. A stamped metal cover plate is secured to the bottom of the ORC
housing with five screws to enclose and protect the internal electronic circuitry and components.
An arrow 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 three integral mounting tabs and two integral locating pins. The molded plastic
electrical connector (3), with two receptacles containing numerous terminal pins, exits the rearward
facing side of the ORC housing. These terminal pins connect the ORC to the vehicle electrical
system through two dedicated take outs and connectors, one from the body wire harness and one
from the instrument panel wire harness.
The impact sensors 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 side curtain airbags or seat (thorax) airbags, with or without third row seating as well as
for those vehicles with domestic or export applications. These variations are necessary for both
equipment needs and for compliance with certain regulatory requirements. 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.
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 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 Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM), and a fused output (run-start) circuit
through a second fuse in the TIPM. The ORC receives ground through a ground circuit and take
out of the instrument panel wire harness that is secured by a ground screw to the body sheet
metal. 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.
Various impact sensors within the ORC are continuously monitored by the ORC logic. These
internal sensors, along with several external impact sensor inputs allow the ORC to determine both
the severity of an impact and to verify the necessity for deployment of any airbags. Two remote
front impact sensors are located on the back of the front end module carrier to the right and left of
the cooling module 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 up to six additional remote side
impact sensors located on the left and right front door module carriers, on the right and left lower
C-pillars and, on vehicles equipped with optional third row seating, on the right and left quarter
inner panels to control deployment of the side curtain airbag units and seat (thorax) airbags.
The impact sensors within the ORC are electronic accelerometer sensors that provide an additional
logic input to the ORC microprocessor. These sensors are used to verify the need for a SRS
component deployment by also 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. On vehicles equipped with side curtain airbags or seat airbags, a separate impact sensor
within the ORC provides confirmation to the ORC microprocessor of side impact forces. This
separate 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 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, the seat airbags 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 - Description
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Lower Anchors and Tether for Children, or LATCH child restraint
anchorage system. The LATCH system provides for the installation of suitable child restraints in
certain seating positions without using the standard equipment seat belt provided for that seating
position. The second row seats in this vehicle are equipped with three fixed-position child restraint
upper tether anchors and five child restraint lower anchors. These anchorages allow for the
installation of suitable child restraints to be installed in either both second row outboard seating
positions or in just the second row center seating position.
The second row upper tether anchors (1) are integral to the seat cushion frames (2). These
anchors are each constructed from a heavy-gauge steel wire loop that is securely welded to the
seat cushion frame. The second row child restraint upper tether anchors cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, they must be replaced as a unit with their respective
second row seat cushion frame unit.
The lower anchors (4) for this vehicle are also integral to their respective second row seat cushion
frame. Sewn tags (2) with an embroidered child seat icon on the second row seat back trim cover
(1) help identify the anchor locations because they may be otherwise difficult to see with the seat
back in the upright position. These anchors are also constructed from a heavy-gauge steel wire
loop that is securely welded to the seat cushion frame. They are each accessed from the front of
the second row seat, where the seat back meets the seat cushion (3). These lower anchors cannot
be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, they must be replaced as a unit with the
second row seat cushion frame unit.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury during and following any seat belt or child restraint
anchor service, carefully inspect all seat belts,
buckles, mounting hardware, retractors, tether straps, and anchors for proper installation,

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 has two pairs of anchor provisions for installing a
LATCH-compatible child seat in each outboard seating position. Also, a single center anchor
provision may be used in combination with the inboard anchor for either outboard seating position
allowing a single seat to be mounted in the second row center 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 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 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.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Seat Belt Systems > Seat Belt Buckle Switch > Component Information >
Description and Operation > Seat Belt Switch - Description > Page 7554
Seat Belt Buckle Switch: Description and Operation Seat Belt Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The driver side front seat belt switch is designed to control a path to ground for the seat belt switch
sense input of the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). The TIPM provides electronic driver
side seat belt switch status messages 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 controls the seat belt indicator based upon the electronic driver side seat belt switch
status message inputs.
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 seat belt switch is connected in series between ground and the seat belt switch sense input of
the TIPM. 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 TIPM monitors the condition of the driver seat belt switch
circuits and will send an electronic message to illuminate the airbag indicator in the EMIC then
store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that is detected.
The hard wired circuits between the driver side seat belt switch and the TIPM 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 switch
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 driver side seat belt switch or the electronic controls and communication related to
seat belt switch operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

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 all seating
positions except the driver side front and the second row center are 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 these seating positions 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 seat belt retractor unit and is concealed
beneath a molded plastic cover located on the side of the retractor spool. The automatic locking
mechanism cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the entire 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
The seat belt tensioners are integral to the front seat belt retractor units (4), which are secured to
the inner B-pillar on the right and left sides of the vehicle.
The seat belt tensioner consists primarily of a sprocket/pinion, a steel tube (3), a cast metal
housing, numerous steel balls, a stamped metal ball trap (2), a torsion bar and a small
pyrotechnically activated gas generator with a connector receptacle (1). 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 7590
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. They may also be deployed in certain vehicle rollover
events in conjunction with the side curtain airbags and the seat (thorax) airbags. 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 - Operation
Vehicle Front
VEHICLE FRONT
The acceleration-type 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 front 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 commands 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 current in the sensor plus circuit.
The hard wired circuits between the acceleration-type 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 (SRS). The most reliable,
efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the impact sensors or the electronic controls and
communication related to acceleration-type front impact sensor operation requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
Side - Front Door
SIDE - FRONT DOOR
The pressure-type front door side impact sensors recognize a side impact in the front door area by
monitoring changes in pressure within the front door cavity, which manifests itself as a sudden
pressure wave as the door collapses during 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 side passive restraint system electrical
circuits to determine the system readiness. If the ORC detects a monitored system fault, it sets a

Seat Belt Buckle Switch: Description and Operation 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.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Seat Belt Switch - Description > Page 7645
Seat Belt Buckle Switch: Description and Operation Seat Belt Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The driver side front seat belt switch is designed to control a path to ground for the seat belt switch
sense input of the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). The TIPM provides electronic driver
side seat belt switch status messages 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 controls the seat belt indicator based upon the electronic driver side seat belt switch
status message inputs.
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 seat belt switch is connected in series between ground and the seat belt switch sense input of
the TIPM. 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 TIPM monitors the condition of the driver seat belt switch
circuits and will send an electronic message to illuminate the airbag indicator in the EMIC then
store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that is detected.
The hard wired circuits between the driver side seat belt switch and the TIPM 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 switch
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 driver side seat belt switch or the electronic controls and communication related to
seat belt switch 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 - Description
DESCRIPTION
The seat track position sensor (2) is a Hall Effect-type sensor used on some vehicles. 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 a mounting slot containing an integral latch feature (1) and slides and
latches onto a stamped metal blade-type bracket located on the inboard side of the upper inboard
seat adjuster track near the rear of the driver side front seat. A molded connector receptacle (3)
integral to the sensor housing is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a connector
and take out of the driver side front 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 7650
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 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 sends messages over the 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 System Transponder: Description and Operation Transponder Key - Description
DESCRIPTION
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) has a transponder chip included on the circuit board
beneath the cover of each FOB with Integrated Key (FOBIK) (1) included with the vehicle. The
FOBIK includes an integral mechanical valet key which is stored within the bottom of the FOBIK
housing until it is released using the latch button (2). The valet key is cut to match the mechanical
coding of the door and glove box lock cylinders. Each new replacement FOBIK must be
programmed for operation of the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system and has a unique
transponder identification code that is permanently programmed into it by the manufacturer. This
identification code must be programmed into the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) to be recognized by
the SKIS as a valid key.
The FOBIK transponder cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the entire
FOBIK and RKE transmitter unit must be replaced.

Transponder > Component Information > Description and Operation > Transponder Key - Description > Page 7718
Alarm System Transponder: Description and Operation Transponder Key - Operation
OPERATION
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN)
communicates through its antenna with the Sentry Key transponder within the FOB with Integrated
Key (FOBIK) using a Low Frequency (LF) signal. The Sentry Key transponder chip is within the
range of the WIN transceiver antenna ring when it is inserted into the ignition switch.
The WIN determines whether a valid FOBIK is present in the ignition switch based upon the signal
from the transponder. If a valid FOBIK is detected, that fact is communicated by the WIN to the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus, and the PCM
allows the engine to start. If the PCM receives an invalid key message, or receives no message
from the WIN over the CAN data bus, the engine will be disabled. 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 FOBIK has a unique transponder identification code permanently programmed
into it by the manufacturer. Likewise, the WIN has a unique Secret Key code programmed into it by
the manufacturer. When a Sentry Key FOBIK is programmed into the memory of the WIN, the WIN
stores the transponder identification code from the Sentry Key FOBIK and the Sentry Key FOBIK
learns the Secret Key code from the WIN. Once the Sentry Key FOBIK learns the Secret Key code
of the WIN, it is permanently stored in the memory of the transponder. Therefore, once a FOBIK
has been programmed to a particular vehicle, it cannot be used on any other vehicle.
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (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 WIN memory if a Sentry Key FOBIK transponder problem is detected. The
Sentry Key FOBIK transponder chip can be diagnosed, and any stored DTC can be retrieved using
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 two different applications. One switch is used only
on vehicles equipped with the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) for sale in certain export
markets where protection of the underhood area is required equipment. The second switch is used
only on domestic vehicles equipped with an optional remote starter 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 in the stamped steel switch mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is
secured with screws to the right inner fender shield near the fender ledge in the engine
compartment. 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 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.

> Page 7725
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 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 vehicles only - dark brown retainer ring), the switch is
connected in series between ground and the hood ajar switch sense input of the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM). The TIPM uses an internal resistor pull up to monitor the state of the hood
ajar switch contacts.
In the remote starter system application (domestic vehicles only - white retainer ring) the switch has
a 1 kilohm 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 TIPM and the hood ajar
switch sense input of the TIPM. The TIPM continually monitors this circuit and it will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that it detects.
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 bracket, the plunger is
depressed by 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 TIPM 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 vehicle theft or domestic remote starter
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.

Cellular Phone: Description and Operation Navigation/Telecommunication - Description
DESCRIPTION
TELECOMMUNICATIONS
The hands-free cellular system on this vehicle 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 rearview mirror picks
up vehicle occupant's voices. If a call is in progress when the ignition is switched off, the call will be
transferred to the hand-held telephone.
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.
The hands free module is contained within the radio for premium systems. With the low line radio,
the hands free module is located on the left side of the instrument panel to the left of the steering
column.
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
- Save current position
- Personal menu, including Guide Me Home (Go Home), Trip Itinerary, List of Saved Locations,
Favorite Points of Interest (from a data base), Manage Personal User and Choose User
- Personal Interests including recent routes, address book, Where Am I Now, Emergency (police
stations, Dodge dealerships, fire stations, hospitals and emergency care centers), Trail and geocoordinates
- Route options include shortest, quickest, maximize freeways, minimize freeways, avoid toll roads
and avoid ferries
- Navigation can be put into DEMO mode to enhance trip planning
This navigation system will support Traffic Messaging. Traffic Messaging displays voice and pop up
warning messages for medium and high priority situations on the route such as road closures due
to accidents/hazardous situations and it can even generate a traffic detour for a traffic event
located on the route.

TELECOMMUNICATION
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. The system includes the following features:
- Phone book - Stores telephone numbers for later recall by name or other verbal identification,
called a voice tag, and memory location.
- Four memory locations - Home, Work, Mobile, and Pager. A maximum of 32 unique names or
voice tags may be stored at the same time, with a different number in each of the four memory
locations.
- Voice tag dialing - Dials the number associated with a voice tag and memory location.
- Digit dialing - Dials the telephone number by recognizing the names of the digits as they are
spoken.
- Receiving calls - A voice prompt notifies the user of an incoming call. Pressing the U Connect
button accepts or rejects the call.
- Privacy Mode - Switches the call to the handheld telephone and the hands-free system and back
again using the "voice recognition" (or "voice command") button and a voice command, if desired.

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.

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 lightbar 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.

Rear Vision Camera: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
Rear Camera
The hardwired circuits of the Rear View Camera (RVC) and those between the RVC and the radio
receiver 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 RVC or
the radio receiver. The most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose the electronic
controls and communication related to radio receiver operation, as well as the retrieval or erasure
of a DTC requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic 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 battery negative
(ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing
further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper
precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
NOTE: Be certain to confirm both of the following prior to attempting any further diagnosis or
testing of the RVC. Use a diagnostic scan tool
to confirm the rear view camera is setup in the vehicle configuration. From the initial start up screen
of the diagnostic scan tool, navigate to ECU VIEW, select TIPMCGW CENTRAL GATEWAY,
MORE OPTIONS, ECU DETAILS and then CONFIG INFO. Verify that REAR CAMERA PRESET - - - SET is present. If not, the Sales Code XAC (Park View Rear Back-Up Camera) will have to be
added to the vehicle configuration to enable the RVC, in vehicles equipped with a MyGIG
multimedia entertainment system (Sales Codes RE1, REN, REP, RER, REU, REW, REX or REZ),
be certain that the RVC is set to ENABLED using the CAMERA SETUP option in the MyGIG
system settings.

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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Driver/Vehicle Information Display > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7797
- 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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Driver/Vehicle Information Display > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7798
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.

MANUAL COMPASS CALIBRATION
CAUTION: Do not place any external magnets, such as magnetic roof mount antennas, in the
vicinity of the compass. Do not place any
electronic devices (cell phones, laptop computers, PDAs, portable DVD players, etc), on or near
the instrument panel as the Remote Compass Module (RCM) performance may be effected. Do not
use magnetic tools when servicing the RCM.
NOTE: Calibration is required anytime a new RCM is installed. Upon installation of the new RCM
the "CAL" message will appear in the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) display. The RCM will automatically calibrate if the
vehicle is driven in two or more circles, slowly, and away from large metal objects. The RCM can
also be calibrated by performing the following procedure.
NOTE: Confirmation that the proper variance zone is programmed, is recommended whenever
manual compass calibration is performed.
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:
NOTE: 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.
1. Start the engine but leave the vehicle in "PARK". 2. Press and release the MENU push button
(1) until "Personal Settings" is displayed. 3. Once in the "Personal Settings" menu depress and
release the STEP button (4) several times until "Calibrate Compass (Yes)" is displayed. 4.
Momentarily depress and release the RESET push button (3) to initiate the calibration procedure.
The "CAL" symbol will come on solid in the
EVIC display.
5. 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" symbol will disappear from the display to indicate successful compass
calibration.
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.

Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Adjustments Compass Variance Adjustment
COMPASS VARIANCE ADJUSTMENT
Compass variance, also known as magnetic declination, is the difference in angle between
magnetic north and true geographic north. In some geographic locations, the difference between
magnetic and geographic north is great enough to cause the compass to give false readings. If this
problem occurs, the compass variance 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 will need to be
updated 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 DEMAGNETIZING
DEGAUSSING TOOL #6029
A degaussing tool (Special Tool 6029) is used to demagnetize, or degauss, the roof panel of the
vehicle. 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 proceed as follows:
1. Be certain that the ignition switch is in the Off position, before you begin the demagnetizing
procedure.
2. 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.
3. Connect the degaussing tool to an electrical outlet, while keeping the tool at least 61 centimeters
(2 feet) away from the vehicle. 4. Slowly approach the center line of the roof panel at the windshield
header, with the degaussing tool connected. 5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Calibrate the compass, See: Adjustments and adjust the compass variance, See: Adjustments.

Garage Door Opener Transmitter: Description and Operation Universal Transmitter - Description
DESCRIPTION
Some vehicles are equipped with the HomeLink(R) transceiver (1). The transceiver is located in the
driver side sun visor assembly (2). The only visible component of the HomeLink(R) transceiver are
the three push buttons. 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 transmitter
channel. Each of these three channels can be trained to transmit a different radio frequency signal
for the remote operation of garage door openers, motorized gate openers, home or office lighting,
security systems or just about any other device that can be equipped with a radio receiver in the
280 to 418 MegaHertz (MHz) frequency range for remote operation. The transceiver is capable of
operating systems using either rolling code or non-rolling code technology. The system will not
transmit operating signals if the Vehicle Theft Security System is armed.
The HomeLink(R) transceiver cannot be repaired, and is available for service only with the visor
assembly. If any part of the component is inoperative or damaged, the complete visor assembly
must be replaced, See: Body and Frame/Interior Moulding / Trim/Sun Visor/Service and
Repair/Visor - Removal.

Garage Door Opener Transmitter: Description and Operation Universal Transmitter - Operation
OPERATION
The HomeLink(R) transceiver operates on a direct battery feed so the unit will remain functional,
regardless of the ignition switch position. The transceiver has a security ground and will become
disabled any time the vehicle security alarm is armed. For more information on the features,
programming procedures and operation of the HomeLink(R) transceiver, see the owner's manual in
the vehicle glove box.

Garage Door Opener Transmitter: Programming and Relearning
Programming Homelink(R) Transceiver Codes
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK(R) TRANSCEIVER 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. A moving door or gate can cause serious injury or death to people and pets or
damage to objects.
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 the HomeLink(R)
transceiver 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 Owner's Manual for the
current customer assistance phone number.
- Press and hold the two outer HomeLink(R) transceiver buttons, and release only when the
indicator light begins to flash (after 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.
- Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 3-8 cm (1-3 inches) away from the HomeLink(R)
transceiver buttons while keeping the indicator light 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.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.
- The HomeLink(R) transceiver indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink(R)
successfully receives the frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons
after the indicator light changes from the slow to rapid flash.
- Press and hold the just trained HomeLink(R) transceiver button and observe the indicator light. If
the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and your device should activate
when the button is pressed and released. NOTE: To program the remaining two buttons, begin with
"Programming" step 2. Do not repeat step 1. If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and
then turns to a constant light, continue with "Programming" steps 6-8 to complete the programming
of a rolling code equipped device (most commonly a garage door opener).
- 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, hold for two seconds and 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 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 indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly. 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 indicator light begins to
flash-after 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: .

Amplifier: Description and Operation Amplifier - Operation
OPERATION
The power amplifier electronically increases the frequency response of the normal audio signal
output from the radio amplifier in order to improve the acoustic performance of the speakers. On
vehicles equipped with an amplifier, the amplifier section of the radio becomes a pre-amplifier.
The amplifier receives audio signal inputs for speaker channels from the radio, then sends
amplified audio outputs through eight separate channels with dedicated feed and return circuits to
the individual speakers.

Remote Switch: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
Remote radio control switches are rocker-type switch units are mounted in the upper spoke covers
of the rear (instrument panel side) steering wheel trim cover. The switch unit on the left side is the
seek switch and has seek up, seek down, and preset station advance switch functions. The switch
unit on the right side is the volume control switch and has volume up, volume down, and mode
advance switch functions.
The two remote radio switch units are each retained in a mounting hole located on opposite sides
of the rear steering wheel trim cover by four integral snap features. A plastic bracket on the back of
each switch unit provides additional support for the unit by extending towards the center of the
steering wheel where it is clamped between the steering wheel armature and the steering wheel
rear trim cover mounting boss by the trim cover mounting screw.
The two remote radio switch units share a common steering wheel wire harness with the vehicle
speed control switches. The steering wheel wire harness is connected to the instrument panel wire
harness through the clockspring.

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 two different applications. One switch is used only
on vehicles equipped with the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) for sale in certain export
markets where protection of the underhood area is required equipment. The second switch is used
only on domestic vehicles equipped with an optional remote starter 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 in the stamped steel switch mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is
secured with screws to the right inner fender shield near the fender ledge in the engine
compartment. 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 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.

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 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 vehicles only - dark brown retainer ring), the switch is
connected in series between ground and the hood ajar switch sense input of the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM). The TIPM uses an internal resistor pull up to monitor the state of the hood
ajar switch contacts.
In the remote starter system application (domestic vehicles only - white retainer ring) the switch has
a 1 kilohm 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 TIPM and the hood ajar
switch sense input of the TIPM. The TIPM continually monitors this circuit and it will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that it detects.
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 bracket, the plunger is
depressed by 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 TIPM 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 vehicle theft or domestic remote starter
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.

DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Steering Control Module (SCM) that is internal to the left
multi-function switch housing (2). The left (lighting) multi-function switch is located on the left side
of the steering column, just below the steering wheel. This switch is the primary control for the
interior and exterior lighting systems. The only visible components of the switch are the control
stalk (1), control knob and control sleeve that extend through the steering column shrouds on the
left side of the column. The remainder of the switch including its mounting provisions and electrical
connections are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing and controls are constructed of molded black plastic. A single screw (7)
through a mounting tab integral to the back of the switch housing, and a slide tab integral to the
bottom of the switch housing secure the switch to the mounting bracket integral to the clockspring
(3). A connector receptacle containing seven terminal pins is integral to the inboard end of the
switch housing and connects the SCM through a jumper wire harness (5) directly to the right
(wiper) multi-function switch (6). A second connector receptacle containing four terminal pins is
integral to the back of the switch housing and connects the SCM to the vehicle electrical system
through a dedicated takeout and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The SCM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged the entire left multi-function
switch must be replaced. See: Lighting and Horns/Sensors and Switches - Lighting and
Horns/Combination Switch/Service and Repair/Left Multifunction Switch - Removal. The
clockspring (with the multi-function switch mounting bracket), the left multi-function switch (with the
SCM), the right multi-function switch and the jumper wire harness are each available for separate
service replacement.

Module - Operation
OPERATION
The Steering Control Module (SCM) communicates over the Local Interconnect Network (LIN) data
bus with other electronic modules in the vehicle and/or a diagnostic scan tool. The horn switch
circuits pass through the clockspring to the Cab Compartment Node (CCN) and the CCN sends a
CAN message to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) to control the horn. The CCN stores
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) for the SCM. The right (wiper) multi-function switch has several
inputs to the CCN.
The SCM is connected to a fused B(+) circuit and receives a path to ground at all times. These
connections allow it to remain functional regardless of the ignition switch position. The driver airbag
squib circuits of the clockspring, the horn, and the speed control switch circuits pass through the
SCM, but the SCM does not monitor, and has no control outputs related to these circuits. Any other
input to the SCM that would cause a vehicle system to function but does not require that the
ignition switch be in the On position, such as turning on the lights or sounding the horn, prompts
the SCM to wake up and transmit on the CAN data bus.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the SCM, the CAN data bus, the hard
wired inputs or the electronic communication related to SCM operation requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
The integral SCM is not available for separate service replacement. If found inoperative or
defective, the entire left (lighting) multi-function switch must be replaced See: Lighting and
Horns/Sensors and Switches - Lighting and Horns/Combination Switch/Service and Repair/Left

DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Steering Column Control Module (SCCM). The SCCM is secured
near the top of the steering column below the steering wheel and is completely concealed beneath
the steering column shrouds. It is installed as a modular unit that supports the left (lighting)
multi-function switch (1) and right (wiper) multi-function switch (6). The controls for each of these
switches extend through appropriate clearance holes provided in the steering column shrouds.
The microprocessor-based Steering Control Module (SCM) (2) utilizes integrated circuitry and
information carried on the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus along with several hard wired
analog and multiplexed inputs to monitor both the right and left multi-function switches. The SCCM
uses a Local Interconnect Network (LIN) data bus for exterior lighting and wiper functions. The LIN
data is sent to the Cab Compartment Node (CCN) and the CCN then sends it out on the CAN data
bus See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Information Bus/Description
and Operation/Communication - Description. The SCCM is available for service replacement as a
unit or each individual component:
- Clockspring (with integral Steering Angle Sensor if equipped)
- Left Multi-Function Switch (with integral Steering Control Module)
- Right Multi-Function 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 battery negative
(ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing
further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper
precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
The hard wired circuits between components related to the Steering Control Module (SCM) 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 SCM or
the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices that provide some
features of the SCM. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the SCM or the
electronic controls and communication related to SCM operation requires the use of a diagnostic
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

SPECIFICATION - TOWING, Trailer - NAFTA, Puerto Rico
you will find safety tips and information on limits to the type of towing you can reasonably do with
your vehicle. Before towing a trailer, carefully review this information to tow your 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 Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is the total allowable weight of your 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 your 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 your 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 Gross Axle Weight Rating (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. You could lose control of the vehicle and have an accident. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
Tongue Weight (TW)
Tongue weight (TW) is the downward force exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer. 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 your vehicle.
Frontal Area
Frontal area is the maximum height and maximum width of the front of a trailer.
Trailer Sway Control - Electronic
For information on this system, See: Brakes and Traction Control/Description and Operation.
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 kinds of hitches are the most
popular on the market today and they are commonly used to tow small- and medium-sized trailers.
Weight-Distributing Hitch
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Towing Information >
System Information > Service and Repair > Trailer Towing - NAFTA, Puerto Rico > Page 8039
Weight Distributing Hitch System
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 (TW) and
may be required depending on vehicle and trailer configuration / loading to comply with Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR) requirements.
Improper Adjustment of Weight Distributing System
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 your
hitch and trailer manufacturer or a reputable recreational vehicle dealer for additional information.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
Trailer Hitch Classification
Your 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 your 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 your
intended towing condition.
All trailer hitches should be professionally installed on your vehicle.
Trailer Towing Weights (Maximum Trailer Weight Ratings)
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Towing Information >
System Information > Service and Repair > Trailer Towing - NAFTA, Puerto Rico > Page 8040
The following chart provides the maximum trailer weight ratings towable for your given drivetrain.
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 your 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 the 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 your bumper or trailer hitch.
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Towing Information >
System Information > Service and Repair > Trailer Towing - NAFTA, Puerto Rico > Page 8041
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 your vehicle.
- The weight of the driver and all passengers.
NOTE: Remember that everything put into or on the trailer adds to the load on your vehicle. Also,
additional factory-installed options or
authorized dealer-installed options must be considered as part of the total load on your vehicle.
Refer to the "Tire and Loading Information" placard for the maximum combined weight of
occupants and cargo for your vehicle.
Towing Requirements
To promote proper break-in of your 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).
WARNING: Improper towing can lead to an injury accident. Follow these guidelines to make your
trailer towing as safe as possible:
Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer and that it 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. You could lose control of your vehicle and have an accident. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
- When hauling cargo or towing a trailer, do not overload your vehicle or trailer. Overloading can
cause a loss of control, poor performance, or damage to brakes, axle, engine, transaxle, steering,
suspension, chassis structure, or tires.
- Safety chains must always be used between your 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 transaxle in PARK. Always, block or "chock" the
trailer wheels.
- GCWR must not be exceeded.
- Total weight must be distributed between the tow vehicle and the trailer such 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 your vehicle.
Refer to "Tires-General Information" for information on tire pressures and 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. Refer to "Tires-General
Information" for information on tread wear indicators and for the proper inspection procedure.
- When replacing tires, See: Maintenance/Wheels and Tires/Tires/Description and Operation for
information on replacement tires and for the 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 your 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 1,000 lbs (454 kg) 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, and longer
stopping distances.
WARNING: Do not connect trailer brakes to your vehicle's hydraulic brake lines. It can overload
your 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 your stopping distance. When towing, you should allow for additional space between your
vehicle and the vehicle in front of you. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible
serious or fatal injury.

Towing Requirements - Trailer Lights AND Wiring
4 - Pin Connector
Whenever you pull a trailer, regardless of the trailer size, stoplights 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 vehicles wiring harness.
The electrical connections are all complete to the vehicle but you must mate the harness to a trailer
connector. Refer to the following illustrations.
7- Pin Connector
Towing Tips
Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping, and backing up the trailer in an area located
away from heavy traffic.
Towing Tips - Automatic Transaxle
The DRIVE range can be selected when towing. However, if frequent shifting occurs while in this
range, select the "3" range for 4-speed automatic or the "5" range for 6-speed automatic.
NOTE: Using the "3" or "5" range while operating the vehicle under heavy operating conditions will
improve performance and extend
transaxle life by reducing excessive shifting and heat build up. This action will also provide better
engine braking.
If you REGULARLY tow a trailer for more than 45 minutes of continuous operation, then change
the automatic transaxle fluid and filter according to the interval specified for "police, taxi, fleet, or
frequent trailer towing" in the Maintenance Schedule.
NOTE: Check the 4-speed automatic transaxle fluid level before towing. The 6-speed transaxle is
sealed and the fluid level cannot be checked.
See your authorized dealer for assistance.
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 get back to cruising speed.
- Use speed control in flat terrain and with light loads to maximize fuel efficiency.
Towing Tips - Autostick (R) (If Equipped)
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Towing Information >
System Information > Service and Repair > Trailer Towing - NAFTA, Puerto Rico > Page 8043
- By using the Autostick(R) modes and selecting a specific gear range, frequent shifting can be
avoided. The highest gear range should be selected that allows for adequate performance. For
example, choose "4" if the desired speed can be maintained. Choose "3" or "2" if needed to
maintain the desired speed.
- Extended driving at high RPM should be avoided to prevent excess heat generation. A reduction
in vehicle speed may be required to avoid extended driving at high RPM. Return to a higher gear
range or vehicle speed when road conditions and RPM level allows.
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.

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
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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8070
- 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 trailer tow preparation package have four trailer tow relays, one
each for the trailer tow stop/turn right and left and one each for the trailer stop lamp right and left.
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 included with the trailer tow preparation wire harness that is shipped
loose in the glove box for customer or dealer installation at the rear of the vehicle. A trailer tow
stop/turn relay is located behind the rear fascia below each outer tail lamp, while a trailer stop lamp
relay is located behind the rear fascia below each outboard end of the rear bumper reinforcement.
Each relay and connector is wrapped within an isolator envelope for sound deadening and
anti-rattle protection. Refer to the appropriate wiring information for specific relay cavity assignment
information.
Any of the trailer tow relays cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the
affected unit must be replaced.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Trailer Tow Relay - Description > Page 8092
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 Totally
Integrated Power Module (TIPM) to the tail lamps to control a high current output to the 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 of both the left and right trailer tow
stop/turn relays is connected to their respective left or right trailer tow stop/turn signal pins of the
4-way trailer tow connector at all times. The common feed terminals of both the left and right trailer
tow stop relays is connected to the normally closed (87A) terminal of their respective left or right
trailer tow stop/turn relay at all times.
- Coil Ground Terminal (85) - The coil ground terminal of both the left and right trailer tow stop/turn
relays is connected to their respective left or right rear turn signal control circuits from the TIPM at
all times. The coil ground terminals of both the left and right trailer tow stop relays are connected to
the stop lamp control circuit from the TIPM at all times.
- Coil Battery Terminal (86) - The coil battery terminal of both the left and right trailer tow stop/turn
relays is connected to a path to ground at all times. The coil battery terminal of both the left and
right trailer tow stop relays is connected to their respective left or right rear turn signal control
circuits from the TIPM at all times.
- Normally Open Terminal (87) - The normally open terminal of both the left and right trailer tow
stop/turn relays is connected to the stop lamp control circuit from the TIPM whenever that relay is
energized. The normally open terminal of both the left and right trailer tow stop relays is connected
to a path to ground whenever that relay is energized.
- Normally Closed Terminal (87A) - The normally closed terminal of both the left and right trailer tow
stop/turn relays is connected are connected to the common supply (30) terminal of their respective
left or right trailer tow stop relay whenever the relay is de-energized. The normally closed terminal
of both the left and right trailer tow stop relays is not connected to any circuit in this application.
The trailer tow relays and the hard wired circuits for the relays 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 and communication between other modules and devices that provide some
features of the trailer tow turn and stop lamp lighting system. The most reliable, efficient, and
accurate means to diagnose the electronic controls and communication related to trailer tow turn
and stop lamp lighting operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. 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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Trailer Connector > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8113
- 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.

Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8114
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.

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.

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.
Testing For Continuity
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
Dodge Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Body Control Systems > System Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8146
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.
Testing For A Voltage Drop
TESTING FOR A VOLTAGE DROP
1. Connect the positive lead of the voltmeter to the side of the circuit closest to the battery. 2.
Connect the other lead of the voltmeter to the other side of the switch, component or circuit. 3.
Operate the item. 4. The voltmeter will show the difference in voltage between the two points.
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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Body Control Systems > System Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8147
- 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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Body Control Systems > System Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8148
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.

markets where protection of the underhood area is required equipment. The second switch is used
only on domestic vehicles equipped with an optional remote starter 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 in the stamped steel switch mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is
secured with screws to the right inner fender shield near the fender ledge in the engine
compartment. 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 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.

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 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 vehicles only - dark brown retainer ring), the switch is
connected in series between ground and the hood ajar switch sense input of the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM). The TIPM uses an internal resistor pull up to monitor the state of the hood
ajar switch contacts.
In the remote starter system application (domestic vehicles only - white retainer ring) the switch has
a 1 kilohm 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 TIPM and the hood ajar
switch sense input of the TIPM. The TIPM continually monitors this circuit and it will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that it detects.
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 bracket, the plunger is
depressed by 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 TIPM 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 vehicle theft or domestic remote starter
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.

Trailer Towing Relay: Description and Operation Trailer Tow Relay - Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with an optional trailer tow preparation package have four trailer tow relays, one
each for the trailer tow stop/turn right and left and one each for the trailer stop lamp right and left.
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 included with the trailer tow preparation wire harness that is shipped
loose in the glove box for customer or dealer installation at the rear of the vehicle. A trailer tow
stop/turn relay is located behind the rear fascia below each outer tail lamp, while a trailer stop lamp
relay is located behind the rear fascia below each outboard end of the rear bumper reinforcement.
Each relay and connector is wrapped within an isolator envelope for sound deadening and
anti-rattle protection. Refer to the appropriate wiring information for specific relay cavity assignment
information.
Any of the trailer tow relays cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the
affected unit must be replaced.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Frame > Trailer Towing Relay > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Trailer Tow Relay - Description > Page 8604
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 Totally
Integrated Power Module (TIPM) to the tail lamps to control a high current output to the 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 of both the left and right trailer tow
stop/turn relays is connected to their respective left or right trailer tow stop/turn signal pins of the
4-way trailer tow connector at all times. The common feed terminals of both the left and right trailer
tow stop relays is connected to the normally closed (87A) terminal of their respective left or right
trailer tow stop/turn relay at all times.
- Coil Ground Terminal (85) - The coil ground terminal of both the left and right trailer tow stop/turn
relays is connected to their respective left or right rear turn signal control circuits from the TIPM at
all times. The coil ground terminals of both the left and right trailer tow stop relays are connected to
the stop lamp control circuit from the TIPM at all times.
- Coil Battery Terminal (86) - The coil battery terminal of both the left and right trailer tow stop/turn
relays is connected to a path to ground at all times. The coil battery terminal of both the left and
right trailer tow stop relays is connected to their respective left or right rear turn signal control
circuits from the TIPM at all times.
- Normally Open Terminal (87) - The normally open terminal of both the left and right trailer tow
stop/turn relays is connected to the stop lamp control circuit from the TIPM whenever that relay is
energized. The normally open terminal of both the left and right trailer tow stop relays is connected
to a path to ground whenever that relay is energized.
- Normally Closed Terminal (87A) - The normally closed terminal of both the left and right trailer tow
stop/turn relays is connected are connected to the common supply (30) terminal of their respective
left or right trailer tow stop relay whenever the relay is de-energized. The normally closed terminal
of both the left and right trailer tow stop relays is not connected to any circuit in this application.
The trailer tow relays and the hard wired circuits for the relays 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 and communication between other modules and devices that provide some
features of the trailer tow turn and stop lamp lighting system. The most reliable, efficient, and
accurate means to diagnose the electronic controls and communication related to trailer tow turn
and stop lamp lighting operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

Power Door Lock Actuator: Testing and Inspection
DOOR LOCK MOTOR
Make certain battery is in normal condition before circuits are tested.
To determine which motor is faulty, check each individual door for electrical lock and unlock or
disconnect the motor connectors one at a time, while operating the door lock switch. In the event
that none of the motors work, the problem maybe caused by a shorted motor, a bad switch, or a
bad relay. Disconnecting a defective motor will allow the others to work.
To test an individual door lock motor, disconnect the electrical connector from the motor. To lock
the door, connect a 12 volt power source to the positive pin of the lock motor and a ground wire to
the other pin. To unlock the door reverse the wire connections at the motor pin terminals. If these
results are NOT obtained, replace the motor.
The door lock motor is integral to the door latch. If faulty, the entire door latch must be replaced.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
VOLTAGE
The following wiring test sequence determines whether or not voltage is continuous through the
body harness to switch.
1. Remove switch from door trim panel. 2. Carefully separate multiple terminal block on wiring
harness from switch body. 3. Connect one lead of test light to a ground terminal:
- Touch other test light lead to battery feed B+ terminal.
- If test light comes on, the wiring circuit between the battery and switch is functional.
- If test light does not come on, check for a blown fuse. Refer to Wiring Diagrams for circuit
information.
DOOR LOCK SWITCH
NOTE: Vehicles equipped with the auto-express feature for power windows, the local interface
network (LIN) controls the lock, mirror and
window features.
Remove the non-express switch from its mounting location. Using an ohmmeter, refer to the DOOR
LOCK SWITCH CONTINUITY table to determine if the continuity is correct in the LOCK and
UNLOCK switch positions. If these results are not obtained, replace the switch.

DESCRIPTION
When a painted metal surface has been scratched or chipped, it should be touched up as soon as
possible to avoid corrosion. For best results, use Mopar(R) Scratch Filler/Primer, Touch Up Paints
and Clear Top Coat. For a description of the paint codes, See: Application and ID.
WARNING: Use an OSHA approved respirator and safety glasses when spraying paint or solvents
in a confined area. Personal injury can
result.
TOUCH UP PROCEDURE
1. Scrape loose paint and corrosion from inside scratch or chip. 2. Clean affected area with
Mopar(R) Tar/Road Oil Remover, and allow to dry. 3. Fill the inside of the scratch or chip with a
coat of filler/primer. Do not overlap primer onto good surface finish. The applicator brush should be
wet enough to puddle-fill the scratch or chip without running. Do not stroke brush applicator on
body surface. Allow the filler/primer to dry hard.
4. Cover the filler/primer with color touch up paint. Do not overlap touch up color onto the original
color coat around the scratch or chip. Butt the
new color to the original color, if possible. Do not stroke applicator brush on body surface. Allow
touch up paint to dry hard.
5. On vehicles without clearcoat, the touch up color can be lightly finesse sanded (1500 grit) and
polished with rubbing compound. 6. On vehicles with clearcoat, apply clear top coat to touch up
paint with the same technique as described in 4. Allow clear top coat to dry hard. If
desired, 5 can be performed on clear top coat.
WARNING: Avoid prolonged skin contact with petroleum or alcohol - based cleaning solvents.
Personal injury can result.

Seat Heater Control Module: Description and Operation Heated Seat Module - Description
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat module (2) is located under the driver front seat. It has a single electrical
connector (1) and a push pin style retainer that secures it to the seat pan (4). The module can be
accessed from under the Driver seat with the seat in the full back and up position.
The heated seat module is a microprocessor designed to use the Local Interface Network (LIN)
data bus messages from the instrument cluster, sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment
Node (CCN). The CCN receives inputs from the heated seat switches and in turn signals the
heated seat module to operate the heated seat elements for both front seats.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Heated Seat Module - Description > Page 8837
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 to the body at all times through the electrical connector. Inputs to the module
include Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus messages and standard hardwired 12 volt power
and ground. In response to the LIN inputs the heated seat module will control the battery current to
the appropriate heated seat elements.
When a heated seat switch LIN data 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).
In addition to operating the heated seat elements, the heated seat module sends LED illumination
messages to the instrument cluster, sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN)
via the LIN data bus. The CCN then sends the LED illumination message to the accessory switch
bank so that the appropriate LEDs are illuminated for any given heating level. Pressing the switch
once will select high-level heating. Pressing the switch a second time will select low-level heating.
Pressing the switch a third time will shut the heating elements off.
If the heated seat module detects a heated seat element OPEN or SHORT circuit, it will record and
store the appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).

Seat Heater Control Module: Testing and Inspection
HEATED SEAT MODULE
In order to obtain conclusive testing, the heated seat system and the Local Interface Network (LIN)
data bus circuit must be checked. Any diagnosis of the heated seat system should begin with, the
use of a scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic service information.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information for complete circuit schematic or connector pin-out
information.
NOTE: Vehicles equipped with the heated seat option utilize a low voltage cut-off feature. This
feature turns off power to the heated seat
system anytime vehicle voltage is below 11.7v or above 15.5v. Be certain to check the vehicle
electrical system for proper voltage anytime the power seat system appears inoperative.
Before any testing of the heated seat system is attempted, the battery should be fully-charged.

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 Totally
Integrated Power Module (TIPM) to the tail lamps to control a high current output to the 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 of both the left and right trailer tow
stop/turn relays is connected to their respective left or right trailer tow stop/turn signal pins of the
4-way trailer tow connector at all times. The common feed terminals of both the left and right trailer
tow stop relays is connected to the normally closed (87A) terminal of their respective left or right
trailer tow stop/turn relay at all times.
- Coil Ground Terminal (85) - The coil ground terminal of both the left and right trailer tow stop/turn
relays is connected to their respective left or right rear turn signal control circuits from the TIPM at
all times. The coil ground terminals of both the left and right trailer tow stop relays are connected to
the stop lamp control circuit from the TIPM at all times.
- Coil Battery Terminal (86) - The coil battery terminal of both the left and right trailer tow stop/turn
relays is connected to a path to ground at all times. The coil battery terminal of both the left and
right trailer tow stop relays is connected to their respective left or right rear turn signal control
circuits from the TIPM at all times.
- Normally Open Terminal (87) - The normally open terminal of both the left and right trailer tow
stop/turn relays is connected to the stop lamp control circuit from the TIPM whenever that relay is
energized. The normally open terminal of both the left and right trailer tow stop relays is connected
to a path to ground whenever that relay is energized.
- Normally Closed Terminal (87A) - The normally closed terminal of both the left and right trailer tow
stop/turn relays is connected are connected to the common supply (30) terminal of their respective
left or right trailer tow stop relay whenever the relay is de-energized. The normally closed terminal
of both the left and right trailer tow stop relays is not connected to any circuit in this application.
The trailer tow relays and the hard wired circuits for the relays 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 and communication between other modules and devices that provide some
features of the trailer tow turn and stop lamp lighting system. The most reliable, efficient, and
accurate means to diagnose the electronic controls and communication related to trailer tow turn
and stop lamp lighting operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

Sunroof / Moonroof Switch: Description and Operation Sunroof Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The sunroof is electrically operated from two switches located in the headliner on the
courtesy/reading lamp assembly. The power sunroof switch is hard wired to the sunroof
motor/module assembly. The "VENT" switch is a push button type switch and opens the sunroof to
the vent position only. The other switch "OPEN/CLOSED" is a rocker type switch for opening and
closing the sunroof. Pressing and releasing the open button once, the sunroof will express open
and the wind deflector will raise. If the button is pressed a second time the sunroof will stop in that
position. Pressing and releasing the close button once will express close the sunroof. If the close
button is pressed a second time during the express close operation the sunroof will stop in that
position.
The switch is grounded at one terminal and receives a 5 volt signal from the sunroof motor/module
on the remaining three terminals. The switch pulls down the 5 volt reference voltage from the
module signaling it to perform the desired function.
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.

Power Seat Switch: Description and Operation Power Seat Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The driver power seat can be adjusted in six different ways using the power seat switch. The power
seat switch (2) is located on the lower outboard side of the seat cushion (1) on the seat cushion
side shield (3). The power seat system incorporates a seat switch with a seat cushion control
paddle.
The individual components in the power seat switch assembly cannot be repaired. If the switch is
damaged or inoperative, the entire power seat switch must be replaced.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Power Seat Switch > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Power Seat Switch - Description > Page 8956
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 track adjuster motor. The selected adjuster motor operates to
move the seat through its drive unit in the selected direction until the switch is released, or until the
travel limit of the adjuster is reached. When the switch is moved in the opposite direction, the
battery feed and ground path to the motor are reversed through the switch contacts. This causes
the adjuster motor to run in the opposite direction.
No power seat switch should be held applied in any direction after the adjuster has reached its
travel limit. The power seat adjuster motors each contain a self-resetting circuit breaker to protect
them from overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting of the circuit breaker may result in
motor damage.

DESCRIPTION
MODULE-ASBM
Vehicles with the heated seat option can be visually identified by the two heated seat switches (1)
located in the center stack of the instrument panel. The switches are located on the outer edges of
the Accessory Switch Bank Module (ASBM). The ASBM is located just below the vents and just
above the heater and air conditioner controls in the center stack area of the instrument panel.
The heated seat system allows the driver and front seat passenger to select from two different
levels of electrical seat heating (HI/LO). The heated seat system includes the following major
components:
- Heated Seat Elements - Four heated seat elements are used per vehicle. Two heated seat
elements are integral to each seat, one in the seat back and the other in the seat cushion.
- Heated Seat Module - One heated seat module is used per vehicle. The Heated Seat Module is
mounted under the Driver front seat. This module contains the control logic and software for the
front heated seat system. The module communicates on the Local Interface Network (LIN) data
bus.
- Heated Seat Switches - Two heated seat switches are used per vehicle, one for each heated
seat. Both switches are integral to the ASBM mounted in the instrument panel center stack.
- Instrument Cluster (CCN) - The instrument cluster, sometimes referred to as the Cab
Compartment Node (CCN) utilizes integrated software and information carried on the LIN data bus.
The CCN serves as the link between the heated seat switches and the heated seat module.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Description and Operation
> Heated Seats - Description > Page 9025
Seat Heater: Description and Operation Heated Seats - Operation
OPERATION
The heated seat system operates on battery current received through a fuse in the Totally
Integrated Power Module (TIPM). Fused ignition switch output (Run) circuits are used, so that the
heated seat system will only operate when the ignition switch is in the ON position. The heated
seat system will turn Off automatically whenever the ignition switch is turned to any position except
ON.
A Heated Seat Module (2) is used to control the heated seat system. The module is located under
the driver front seat mounted to the seat pan (4). The heated seat 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 (1) are depressed a switch status message is sent to the
instrument cluster, sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN), via the Local
Interface Network (LIN) data bus. The CCN then sends a message via the LIN data bus to the
heated seat module, signaling the module to energize the heating element for the selected seat.
Amber Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) in the top portion of each switch indicate the level of heat in
use: Two LEDs are illuminated for high, one for low, and none for off. The heated seat module
sends the LED illumination message to the CNN via the LIN data bus. The CNN then sends the
LED illumination message to the accessory switch bank so that the appropriate LEDs are
illuminated for any given heating level. Pressing the switch once will select high-level heating.
Pressing the switch a second time will select low-level heating. Pressing the switch a third time will
shut the heating elements off.
The heated seat 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 26 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 also turns off automatically after 30 minutes.
The module will automatically turn off the heating elements if it detects an OPEN or LOW short in
the heating element circuit.

DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the optional heated seat system have two carbon fiber heated seat
elements 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 elements consist of multiple heating circuits operating in parallel
throughout the carbon fiber element. The heated seat elements are captured between the leather
trim cover and the seat cushion assembly. If a malfunction occurs in one or more of the individual
carbon fiber circuits, the others will continue to provide heat.
The heated seat elements cannot be repaired. If found to be damaged or inoperative, a new
heating element assembly must be installed.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Description and Operation
> Heated Seats - Description > Page 9027
Seat Heater: Description and Operation Heater Pad - Operation
OPERATION
One end of the heated seat element 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 by the heated seat
module. The heated seat module will energize the heated seat element when the heated seat
switch is depressed in the LOW or HIGH position.
As electrical current passes through the heated 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 seat element then radiates through the underside of the seat cushion and seat back trim
covers, warming the seat cover and its occupant.

HEATED SEAT SYSTEM
In order to obtain conclusive testing, the heated seat system and the Local Interface Network (LIN)
data bus circuit must be checked. Any diagnosis of the heated seat system should begin with, the
use of a scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic service information.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information for complete circuit schematic or connector pin-out
information.
NOTE: Vehicles equipped with the heated seat option utilize a low voltage cut-off feature. This
feature turns off power to the heated seat
system anytime vehicle voltage is below 11.7v or above 15.5v. Be certain to check the vehicle
electrical system for proper voltage anytime the power seat system appears inoperative.
Before any testing of the heated seat system is attempted, the battery should be fully-charged.

Refer to the appropriate wiring information for complete circuit schematic or connector pin-out
information.
The wire harness connectors for the heating elements are located under the seat.
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 element electrical connector. 2. Check the resistance between
the circuit leading in and out of the suspect heated seat element. The resistance should be
between 3.0 - 5.5 ohms for
a seat cushion element and 4.0 - 6.0 ohms for a seat back element. If OK, See: Heated Seat
System. If not OK, replace the inoperative heated seat element.

DESCRIPTION
The heated seat module (2) is located under the driver front seat. It has a single electrical
connector (1) and a push pin style retainer that secures it to the seat pan (4). The module can be
accessed from under the Driver seat with the seat in the full back and up position.
The heated seat module is a microprocessor designed to use the Local Interface Network (LIN)
data bus messages from the instrument cluster, sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment
Node (CCN). The CCN receives inputs from the heated seat switches and in turn signals the
heated seat module to operate the heated seat elements for both front seats.

Description and Operation > Heated Seat Module - Description > Page 9040
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 to the body at all times through the electrical connector. Inputs to the module
include Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus messages and standard hardwired 12 volt power
and ground. In response to the LIN inputs the heated seat module will control the battery current to
the appropriate heated seat elements.
When a heated seat switch LIN data 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).
In addition to operating the heated seat elements, the heated seat module sends LED illumination
messages to the instrument cluster, sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN)
via the LIN data bus. The CCN then sends the LED illumination message to the accessory switch
bank so that the appropriate LEDs are illuminated for any given heating level. Pressing the switch
once will select high-level heating. Pressing the switch a second time will select low-level heating.
Pressing the switch a third time will shut the heating elements off.
If the heated seat module detects a heated seat element OPEN or SHORT circuit, it will record and
store the appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).

system anytime vehicle voltage is below 11.7v or above 15.5v. Be certain to check the vehicle
electrical system for proper voltage anytime the power seat system appears inoperative.
Before any testing of the heated seat system is attempted, the battery should be fully-charged.

Seat Heater Switch: Description and Operation Heated Seat Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
Two heated seat switches are located in the center stack of the instrument panel. The switches are
located on the outer edges of the Accessory Switch Bank Module (ASBM). The ASBM (3) is
located just below the radio (1) and just above the heater and air conditioner controls (2) in the
center stack area of the instrument panel. If either of the switches is damaged or inoperative the
complete ASBM assembly must be replaced.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater Switch > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Heated Seat Switch - Description > Page 9049
Each heated seat switch (4) provides a resistor-multiplexed signal to the instrument cluster,
sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). Amber Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
on the outside edge of each switch indicate the level of heat in use: Two LEDs are illuminated for
high, one for low, and none for off. Pressing the switch once will select high-level heating. Pressing
the switch a second time will select low-level heating. Pressing the switch a third time will shut the
heating elements off.
The LED indicator lamps in each heated seat switch cannot be repaired. If the LED lamps are
inoperative or damaged, or the switch is inoperative or damaged the complete ASBM assembly
must be replaced, See: Service and Repair/Heated Seat Switch - Removal.

Seat Heater Switch: Description and Operation Heated Seat Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The heated seat switches (4) are active any time the Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus is
active. Depressing the heated seat switch provides a switch status message to the instrument
cluster, sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN), via the LIN data bus. The
CCN is responsible for supplying the LIN data 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.

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 two different applications. One switch is used only
on vehicles equipped with the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) for sale in certain export
markets where protection of the underhood area is required equipment. The second switch is used
only on domestic vehicles equipped with an optional remote starter 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 in the stamped steel switch mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is
secured with screws to the right inner fender shield near the fender ledge in the engine
compartment. 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 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.

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 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 vehicles only - dark brown retainer ring), the switch is
connected in series between ground and the hood ajar switch sense input of the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM). The TIPM uses an internal resistor pull up to monitor the state of the hood
ajar switch contacts.
In the remote starter system application (domestic vehicles only - white retainer ring) the switch has
a 1 kilohm 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 TIPM and the hood ajar
switch sense input of the TIPM. The TIPM continually monitors this circuit and it will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that it detects.
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 bracket, the plunger is
depressed by 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 TIPM 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 vehicle theft or domestic remote starter
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 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 track adjuster motor. The selected adjuster motor operates to
move the seat through its drive unit in the selected direction until the switch is released, or until the
travel limit of the adjuster is reached. When the switch is moved in the opposite direction, the
battery feed and ground path to the motor are reversed through the switch contacts. This causes
the adjuster motor to run in the opposite direction.
No power seat switch should be held applied in any direction after the adjuster has reached its
travel limit. The power seat adjuster motors each contain a self-resetting circuit breaker to protect
them from overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting of the circuit breaker may result in
motor damage.

Each heated seat switch (4) provides a resistor-multiplexed signal to the instrument cluster,
sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). Amber Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
on the outside edge of each switch indicate the level of heat in use: Two LEDs are illuminated for
high, one for low, and none for off. Pressing the switch once will select high-level heating. Pressing
the switch a second time will select low-level heating. Pressing the switch a third time will shut the
heating elements off.
The LED indicator lamps in each heated seat switch cannot be repaired. If the LED lamps are
inoperative or damaged, or the switch is inoperative or damaged the complete ASBM assembly
must be replaced, See: Service and Repair/Heated Seat Switch - Removal.

Seat Heater Switch: Description and Operation Heated Seat Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The heated seat switches (4) are active any time the Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus is
active. Depressing the heated seat switch provides a switch status message to the instrument
cluster, sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN), via the LIN data bus. The
CCN is responsible for supplying the LIN data 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.

Seat Heater Switch: Testing and Inspection
HEATED SEAT SWITCH
In order to obtain conclusive testing, the heated seat system and the Local Interface Network (LIN)
data bus circuit must be checked. Any diagnosis of the heated seat system should begin with, the
use of a scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic service information.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information for complete circuit schematic or connector pin-out
information.
NOTE: Vehicles equipped with the heated seat option utilize a low voltage cut-off feature. This
feature turns off power to the heated seat
system anytime vehicle voltage is below 11.7v or above 15.5v. Be certain to check the vehicle
electrical system for proper voltage anytime the power seat system appears inoperative.
Before any testing of the heated seat system is attempted, the battery should be fully-charged.

DESCRIPTION
The power sunroof switch (3) is a combination push-button and rocker switch module mounted in
the overhead console assembly (1). The sunroof switch is a direct contact unit that is directly wired
to the sunroof motor/module assembly. The sunroof switch performs the following functions:
- Power sunroof open (back of switch pushed)
- Power sunroof express open (back of switch pushed and released)
- Power sunroof closed (front of switch pushed)
- Power sunroof express closed (front of switch pushed and released)
- Power sunroof vent (switch center button pushed)
The power sunroof switch cannot be repaired. If the individual components are damaged or
inoperative the switch assembly must be replaced, See: Service and Repair/Sunroof Switch Removal.

Sunroof / Moonroof Switch: Description and Operation Sunroof Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The sunroof is electrically operated from two switches located in the headliner on the
courtesy/reading lamp assembly. The power sunroof switch is hard wired to the sunroof
motor/module assembly. The "VENT" switch is a push button type switch and opens the sunroof to
the vent position only. The other switch "OPEN/CLOSED" is a rocker type switch for opening and
closing the sunroof. Pressing and releasing the open button once, the sunroof will express open
and the wind deflector will raise. If the button is pressed a second time the sunroof will stop in that
position. Pressing and releasing the close button once will express close the sunroof. If the close
button is pressed a second time during the express close operation the sunroof will stop in that
position.
The switch is grounded at one terminal and receives a 5 volt signal from the sunroof motor/module
on the remaining three terminals. The switch pulls down the 5 volt reference voltage from the
module signaling it to perform the desired function.
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.

Audible Warning Device: Description and Operation Chime/Buzzer - Description
DESCRIPTION
The chime warning system uses an electromechanical transducer and an electromechanical relay
that are soldered onto the circuit board of the instrument cluster also known as the Cab
Compartment Node (CCN) to provide audible indications of various vehicle conditions that may
require the attention of the vehicle operator or occupants. The CCN also includes the necessary
hardware and software to serve as the vehicle's electronic body control module.
The electromechanical transducer generates 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 utilizes electronic chime request
messages received from other modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus along with hard-wired 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 that are issued at a slow rate of about 90 clicks
per minute.
- Fast Rate Repetitive Click - Repeated click tones that are issued at a fast rate of more than about
180 clicks per minute.
Single Chime Tone - A single chime tone.
- Continuous Repetitive Chime Tone - Repeated chime tones that are issued continuously.
Hard-wired 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
hard-wired circuits are integral to several wire harnesses that are routed throughout the vehicle and
they are retained by many different methods. These circuits may be connected to each other, to the
vehicle electrical system, and to the CCN through 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, procedures for
proper wire and connector repair, further details on wire harness routing and retention, and pin-out
and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices, and grounds.
The chime warning system circuits and components cannot be adjusted or repaired. If the CCN
circuitry, the on-board transducer, or the relay is damaged or ineffective, the instrument cluster
assembly must be replaced.

Audible Warning Device: Description and Operation Chime/Buzzer - Operation
OPERATION
DOOR AJAR CHIME
The Cab Compartment Node (CCN) will sound an audible chime when the key is in the ignition and
the driver's door is open. This is to prevent partial closing of vehicle doors.
An audible chime will sound when the vehicle begins to move and the transmission range indicator
display will indicate DOOR.
ENHANCED SEAT BELT REMINDER
If all the following are met after sixty seconds with the engine ON, then the enhanced seat belt
reminder feature will be activated.
- Driver seat belt is unbuckled for ten seconds or more.
- Vehicle speed is greater than five mph (8 km/h).
- The gear positioning is not in REVERSE (except in MTX vehicles where the reverse position
cannot be detected).
The seat belt indicator will periodically blink, accompanied with a continuous chime for
approximately ninety-six seconds or until the driver seat belt is buckled. When the enhanced seat
belt feature is not initiated or if the feature is disabled, the seat belt indicator will be turned ON
continuously until the driver seat belt is buckled.
In the same ignition cycle, if the seat belt is again unbuckled for more than ten seconds with the
vehicle speed greater than five mph (8 km/h), the enhanced seat belt reminder feature will again be
initiated.
The enhanced seat belt reminder feature is customer programmable and can be enabled/disabled
with the use of a Scan Tool, or by the customer completing a sequence of steps.
CUSTOMER PROGRAMMING OF ENHANCED SEAT BELT REMINDER FEATURE
1. With the ignition not in RUN or START, buckle the driver seat belt. 2. Turn the ignition switch to
the RUN or START position and wait for the seat belt reminder check to be completed. 3. Unbuckle
and then re-buckle the driver seat belt causing the indicator to go ON and OFF three or more times
ending with the seat belt buckled. 4. Return the ignition switch back to a non-RUN or no-START
position (the feature will toggle from the current status) and a confirmation chime
will sound indicating to the customer the proper sequence to enable/disable the feature was
performed.
EXTERIOR LAMPS LEFT ON
An audible chime tone that indicates the exterior lamps were left on.
FASTEN SEAT BELTS
At power up, the instrument cluster will conduct a seat belt lamp bulb check. If the driver side seat
belt buckle is unbuckled during the bulb check, an accompanying chime will sound within the
duration of the bulb check.
KEY LEFT IN IGNITION
An audible chime tone that indicates the key was left in ignition.
SINGLE WARNING CHIME
After a bulb check at power-up, if any of the following indicators are still activated, the CCN will
sound a single chime tone. ABS, Air Bag, Check Engine, Charging System, Engine Temperature,
Low Fuel (after 10 seconds for accurate fuel information), and BRAKE (if speed is greater than 2
mph).

Audible Warning Device: Testing and Inspection
CHIME WARNING SYSTEM
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 battery negative
(ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing
further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper
precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
The hard-wired 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, procedures for proper wire and
connector repair, 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.

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.

- 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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9226
- 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 9227
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.

REMOTE COMPASS MODULE
The Remote Compass Module (RCM) data is transferred on the Controller Area Network (CAN)
Data Bus circuit. The RCM and Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will not function
properly if the bus messages are not properly received. If no EVIC data is displayed, check the
CAN Data Bus circuit communications, the RCM, the Instrument Cluster functions and the Totally
Integrated Power Module (TIPM). Any diagnosis of the RCM and EVIC display should begin with
the use of a scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic service information.
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.

Compass: Adjustments Manual Compass Calibration
MANUAL COMPASS CALIBRATION
CAUTION: Do not place any external magnets, such as magnetic roof mount antennas, in the
vicinity of the compass. Do not place any
electronic devices (cell phones, laptop computers, PDAs, portable DVD players, etc), on or near
the instrument panel as the Remote Compass Module (RCM) performance may be effected. Do not
use magnetic tools when servicing the RCM.
NOTE: Calibration is required anytime a new RCM is installed. Upon installation of the new RCM
the "CAL" message will appear in the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) display. The RCM will automatically calibrate if the
vehicle is driven in two or more circles, slowly, and away from large metal objects. The RCM can
also be calibrated by performing the following procedure.
NOTE: Confirmation that the proper variance zone is programmed, is recommended whenever
manual compass calibration is performed.
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:
NOTE: 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.
1. Start the engine but leave the vehicle in "PARK". 2. Press and release the MENU push button
(1) until "Personal Settings" is displayed. 3. Once in the "Personal Settings" menu depress and
release the STEP button (4) several times until "Calibrate Compass (Yes)" is displayed. 4.
Momentarily depress and release the RESET push button (3) to initiate the calibration procedure.
The "CAL" symbol will come on solid in the
EVIC display.
5. 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" symbol will disappear from the display to indicate successful compass
calibration.
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
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 will need to be
updated 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.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. Press and release the MENU push button (1)
until "Personal Settings" is displayed. 3. Press the STEP push button (4) until "Compass Variance"
is displayed. The "Compass Variance" message and the current variance zone number
will be displayed.
4. Press and release the RESET push button (3) to toggle through the zone numbers (1-15), until
the zone number for your geographic location
appears in the display.
NOTE: The default for the compass variance from the factory is 8. During programming, the Zone
value will wrap around from Zone 15 to
Zone 1.
5. Press and release the Compass Temperature (C/T) push button (2) to enter the displayed zone
number into the compass unit memory. 6. Confirm that the correct directions are now indicated by

COMPASS DEMAGNETIZING
DEGAUSSING TOOL #6029
A degaussing tool (Special Tool 6029) is used to demagnetize, or degauss, the roof panel of the
vehicle. 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 proceed as follows:
1. Be certain that the ignition switch is in the Off position, before you begin the demagnetizing
procedure.
2. 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.
3. Connect the degaussing tool to an electrical outlet, while keeping the tool at least 61 centimeters
(2 feet) away from the vehicle. 4. Slowly approach the center line of the roof panel at the windshield
header, with the degaussing tool connected. 5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Calibrate the compass, See: Driver/Vehicle Information Display/Adjustments and adjust the
compass variance, See: Driver/Vehicle Information
Display/Adjustments.

Dimmer Switch: Description and Operation Left Multifunction Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The left (lighting) multi-function switch is located on the left side of the steering column, just below
the steering wheel. This switch is the primary control for the interior and exterior lighting systems.
The only visible components of the switch are the control stalk (2), control knob (1) and control
sleeve (3) that extend through the steering column shrouds on the left side of the column. The
remainder of the switch including its mounting provisions, its electrical connection, and the turn
signal cancel actuator are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing (2) and controls (1) 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. A single screw (7) through a mounting tab integral to the back of the
switch housing, and a slide tab integral to the bottom of the switch housing secure the switch to the
mounting bracket integral to the clockspring (3).
The Steering Control Module (SCM) is internal to the switch housing. The switch outputs are
internally connected directly to the SCM. A single connector receptacle containing seven terminal
pins is integral to the inboard end of the switch housing and connects the right multi-function switch
(6) through a jumper wire harness (5) directly to the SCM. An integral connector receptacle on the
back of the switch housing connects the SCM to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The left multi-function switch provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the following
exterior lighting functions:
- Automatic Headlamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob
provides detent switching for the optional automatic headlamps.
- Front Fog Lamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob provides
detent switching for the optional front fog lamps.
- Headlamps - The left multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching for the
headlamps.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The left multi-function switch control stalk provides detent switching
for selection of the headlamp high or low

beams.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The left multi-function switch control stalk includes momentary switching
of the headlamp high beam circuits to provide an optical horn feature (sometimes referred to as
flash-to-pass), which allows the vehicle operator to momentarily flash the headlamp high beams as
an optical signalling device.
- Park Lamps - The left multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching for the park
lamps.
Rear Fog Lamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob provides
detent switching for the optional rear fog lamps. Rear fog lamps are optional only for vehicles
manufactured for certain export markets, where they are required.
- Turn Signal Control - The left multi-function switch control stalk provides both momentary
non-detent switching and detent switching with automatic cancellation for both the left and right turn
signal lamps.
The left multi-function switch also provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the
following interior lighting functions:
- Interior Lamps Defeat - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching to
defeat the illumination of all interior courtesy lamps when a door or the liftgate is opened.
- Interior Lamps On - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching to
illuminate all interior courtesy lamps simultaneously.
- Panel Lamps Dimming - The left multi-function switch control ring provides simultaneous
adjustable control of the illumination intensity of all instrument panel lighting at one of six available
illumination intensity levels.
Parade Mode - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching for a parade
mode that maximizes the illumination intensity of all instrument panel lighting for visibility when
driving in daylight with the exterior lamps turned on.
The left 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 unit must be replaced. The clockspring
(with the multi-function switch mounting bracket), the left multi-function switch (with the SCM), the
right multi-function switch and the jumper wire harness are each available for separate service
replacement.

Dimmer Switch: Description and Operation Left Multifunction Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The left (lighting) multi-function switch uses resistor multiplexing to control the many functions and
features it provides using a minimal number of hard wired circuits. The switch receives clean
grounds from the Steering Control Module (SCM), then provides resistor multiplexed return outputs
to the SCM to indicate the selected switch positions. The SCM then sends electronic switch status
messages over a Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus to the ElectroMechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN), and the EMIC relays electronic
switch request messages over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to other electronic
modules in the vehicle.
If the SCM detects no inputs from the left multi-function switch, it transmits an electronic Signal Not
Available (SNA) status message over the LIN data bus. The SNA status signals the EMIC to
request other electronic modules to implement a failsafe mode of operation for the exterior lighting
system. The failsafe mode automatically turns the exterior lighting ON when the ignition switch is in
the ON position, and OFF when the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
The hard wired inputs and outputs of the left multi-function switch and SCM may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, the most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose this component requires the
use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
exterior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Automatic Headlamps - The optional automatic headlamps feature is requested when the left
multi-function switch control knob is rotated to the automatic (AUTO) detent position with the
ignition switch in the ON position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left
multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN
data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the
CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Front Fog Lamps - The optional front fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The
switch control knob incorporates an internal cam mechanism that will only allow the front fog lamps
to be selected while the headlamp ON position is also selected, and will automatically move the
control knob to the front fog lamps OFF position when the control knob is rotated to deselect the
headlamps.
- Headlamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is
rotated to the headlamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The headlamp high beams are selected when the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pushed forward to the high beam selection detent position. The low beams
are selected when the control stalk is pulled rearward to the low beam selection detent position.
The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an
electronic beam select switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an
electronic beam select switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules
in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The headlamp optical horn is selected each time the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pulled fully rearward to a momentary position. The headlamp high beams will
remain illuminated for as long as the control stalk is held in this momentary position and the low
beams will be restored when the control stalk is released. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed
input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic beam select switch status message
over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic beam select switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Park Lamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is
rotated to the park lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Rear Fog Lamps - The optional rear fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position and then rotated to the rear fog
lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function
switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus
to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The switch control knob incorporates an internal cam
mechanism that will only allow the rear fog lamps to be selected while the front fog lamps ON
position is also selected, and will automatically move the control knob to the rear fog lamp OFF
position when the control knob is pushed in to deselect the front fog lamps.
- Turn Signal Control - The turn signals are requested when the left multi-function switch control
stalk is moved downward (left signal) or upward (right signal). The control stalk 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, a cancel actuator extends through an opening in the side of
the clockspring case toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is
integral to the clockspring rotor rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the
cancel

actuator when it is extended from the left multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated
during a turning maneuver, one of the 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. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and
sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC,
which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other
electronic modules in the vehicle.
INTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of the how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
interior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Interior Lamps Defeat - The interior lamps defeat feature is requested when the left multi-function
switch control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps DEFEAT detent position. The SCM reads the
resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting
switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior
lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Interior Lamps On - The interior lamps ON feature is requested when the left multi-function switch
control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Panel Lamps Dimming - The panel lamps dimming function is active only when the left
multi-function switch control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting
ON, the panel lamps dimming level is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is
rotated to any one of five minor detent positions. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Parade Mode - The PARADE (or funeral) mode is active only when the left multi-function switch
control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting ON, the PARADE
mode is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is rotated to the PARADE
mode detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function
switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to
other electronic modules in the vehicle.

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
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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Driver/Vehicle Information Display >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9275
- 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 Journey Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (2009))

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9276
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.

MANUAL COMPASS CALIBRATION
CAUTION: Do not place any external magnets, such as magnetic roof mount antennas, in the
vicinity of the compass. Do not place any
electronic devices (cell phones, laptop computers, PDAs, portable DVD players, etc), on or near
the instrument panel as the Remote Compass Module (RCM) performance may be effected. Do not
use magnetic tools when servicing the RCM.
NOTE: Calibration is required anytime a new RCM is installed. Upon installation of the new RCM
the "CAL" message will appear in the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) display. The RCM will automatically calibrate if the
vehicle is driven in two or more circles, slowly, and away from large metal objects. The RCM can
also be calibrated by performing the following procedure.
NOTE: Confirmation that the proper variance zone is programmed, is recommended whenever
manual compass calibration is performed.
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:
NOTE: 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.
1. Start the engine but leave the vehicle in "PARK". 2. Press and release the MENU push button
(1) until "Personal Settings" is displayed. 3. Once in the "Personal Settings" menu depress and
release the STEP button (4) several times until "Calibrate Compass (Yes)" is displayed. 4.
Momentarily depress and release the RESET push button (3) to initiate the calibration procedure.
The "CAL" symbol will come on solid in the
EVIC display.
5. 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" symbol will disappear from the display to indicate successful compass
calibration.
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.

Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Adjustments Compass Variance Adjustment
COMPASS VARIANCE ADJUSTMENT
Compass variance, also known as magnetic declination, is the difference in angle between
magnetic north and true geographic north. In some geographic locations, the difference between
magnetic and geographic north is great enough to cause the compass to give false readings. If this
problem occurs, the compass variance 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 will need to be
updated 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 DEMAGNETIZING
DEGAUSSING TOOL #6029
A degaussing tool (Special Tool 6029) is used to demagnetize, or degauss, the roof panel of the
vehicle. 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 proceed as follows:
1. Be certain that the ignition switch is in the Off position, before you begin the demagnetizing
procedure.
2. 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.
3. Connect the degaussing tool to an electrical outlet, while keeping the tool at least 61 centimeters
(2 feet) away from the vehicle. 4. Slowly approach the center line of the roof panel at the windshield
header, with the degaussing tool connected. 5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Calibrate the compass, See: Adjustments and adjust the compass variance, See: Adjustments.

Fuel Gauge Sender: Description and Operation Fuel Pump Module - Operation
OPERATION
FWD
The front wheel drive (FWD) fuel pump module is located inside the fuel tank with a fuel level
sending unit and pressure regulator. The fuel pump module is a positive displacement, gerotor,
driven by a 12 volt DC permanent magnet electric motor.
The fuel pump module draws fuel through a internal filter and pushes it through the motor to an
outlet pipe. The fuel pump module contains two check valves. One valve relieves internal fuel
pump pressure and regulates maximum pump output. The second valve, in the pump outlet,
maintains pump pressure during engine off conditions.
The fuel pump pressure regulator contains a calibrated spring which forces a diaphragm against
the fuel filter return port. When pressure exceeds the calibrated amount, the diaphragm retracts,
allowing excess fuel pressure in the fuel pump module to purge into the fuel tank.
The maximum deadhead pressure is approximately 880 kPa (130 psi). The fuel pump pressure
regulator adjusts fuel system pressure to approximately 400 ± 34 kPa (58 ± 5 psi).
AWD
Operation of the all wheel drive (AWD) main fuel pump module is similar to the FWD with the
addition of a auxiliary fuel pump module with a auxiliary fuel level sending unit and draws fuel from
the base of the auxiliary fuel pump module (2) through an internal tube.
The auxiliary fuel pump module flow rate is greater than the vehicle fuel consumption rate so that
the auxiliary side of the tank is emptied before fuel is depleted from the primary side.

Outside Temperature Display Sensor: Description and Operation Ambient Temperature Sensor Description
DESCRIPTION
The ambient temperature sensor (1) is a variable resistor located under the bottom right side of the
front bumper reinforcement (2). The sensor is attached to the power steering line bracket with a
pushpin style retainer and can be accessed through the right opening in the front fascia assembly.
The ambient temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if inoperative or damaged,
must be replaced.

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.
The resistance in the sensor changes as temperature changes, changing the temperature sensor
signal circuit voltage to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). Based upon the resistance in
the sensor, the instrument cluster, sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN),
display senses a specific voltage on the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus circuit, which
corresponds to a specific temperature. The applicable instrument cluster display then displays the
proper ambient 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, the Local Area Network (LIN) data bus and the Totally
Integrated Power Module (TIPM). When the sensor is exposed to temperatures above 60° C (130°
F), or if the sensor circuit is shorted, 60° C (130° F) will appear in the 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, - 40° C (- 40° F) will appear in the display.
The ambient temperature sensor circuit can be diagnosed using the following Temperature System
Test, and Sensor Test. If the temperature sensor and circuit are confirmed to be OK, but the
temperature display is inoperative or incorrect, further testing of the instrument cluster may be
necessary. See: Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics for the appropriate procedure.
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 kilohms. At 55° C (130° F), the sensor
resistance is 2.488 kilohms. The sensor resistance should read between these two values. If OK,
further testing of the instrument cluster may be necessary. See: Instrument Cluster /
Carrier/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics for the appropriate
procedure. 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.
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.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position. Disconnect the wire harness connector from the
ambient temperature sensor. 2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position. The display should
now read - 40° C (- 40° 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.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position. The display should now read 60° C (130° F). If OK,
go to 5. 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.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position. Remove the jumper wire. Turn the ignition switch
to the "ON" position and wait until the display
again reads - 40° C (- 40° F). Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position. Reconnect the ambient
temperature sensor. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position. The 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 6
6. Clear any Diagnostic Trouble Codes that may have been set while performing the test. Perform
further diagnosis of the CAN data bus circuit, the
LIN data bus circuit, the TIPM and the ambient temperature sensor (refer to the SENSOR TEST).

Parking Brake Warning Switch: Description and Operation Parking Brake Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
There are two unique park brake switches used on this vehicle, depending upon whether the
vehicle has a foot-operated or hand-operated park brake lever mechanism.
FOOT-OPERATED
Foot-Operated Park Brake Switch
The foot-operated park brake switch (1) is located on the park brake lever mechanism on the cowl
side inner panel below the instrument panel, outboard 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 foot-operated park brake switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged,
it must be replaced.
HAND-OPERATED
Hand-Operated Park Brake Switch
The hand-operated park brake switch (1) is located on the park brake lever mechanism on the floor
panel transmission tunnel below the center floor console. This switch includes a spade-type output
terminal (2) 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 (4) 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 (3) with an integral grounding lug
on one end and an integral actuating lever and follower on the opposite end. The switch is secured
to and grounded by a single screw to the park brake lever mechanism.
The hand-operated 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
Both the foot-operated and hand-operated park brake switch are normally closed, mechanically
actuated leaf contact switches that are operated by the foot or hand 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 as a logic input by the EMIC 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.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the
electronic controls and communication between other modules and devices that rely upon inputs
from the park brake switch. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the
electronic controls and communication related to park brake switch operation requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic 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 battery negative
(ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing
further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper
precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
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.

Dimmer Switch: Description and Operation Left Multifunction Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The left (lighting) multi-function switch is located on the left side of the steering column, just below
the steering wheel. This switch is the primary control for the interior and exterior lighting systems.
The only visible components of the switch are the control stalk (2), control knob (1) and control
sleeve (3) that extend through the steering column shrouds on the left side of the column. The
remainder of the switch including its mounting provisions, its electrical connection, and the turn
signal cancel actuator are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing (2) and controls (1) 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. A single screw (7) through a mounting tab integral to the back of the
switch housing, and a slide tab integral to the bottom of the switch housing secure the switch to the
mounting bracket integral to the clockspring (3).
The Steering Control Module (SCM) is internal to the switch housing. The switch outputs are
internally connected directly to the SCM. A single connector receptacle containing seven terminal
pins is integral to the inboard end of the switch housing and connects the right multi-function switch
(6) through a jumper wire harness (5) directly to the SCM. An integral connector receptacle on the
back of the switch housing connects the SCM to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The left multi-function switch provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the following
exterior lighting functions:
- Automatic Headlamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob
provides detent switching for the optional automatic headlamps.
- Front Fog Lamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob provides
detent switching for the optional front fog lamps.
- Headlamps - The left multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching for the

beams.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The left multi-function switch control stalk includes momentary switching
of the headlamp high beam circuits to provide an optical horn feature (sometimes referred to as
flash-to-pass), which allows the vehicle operator to momentarily flash the headlamp high beams as
an optical signalling device.
- Park Lamps - The left multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching for the park
lamps.
Rear Fog Lamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob provides
detent switching for the optional rear fog lamps. Rear fog lamps are optional only for vehicles
manufactured for certain export markets, where they are required.
- Turn Signal Control - The left multi-function switch control stalk provides both momentary
non-detent switching and detent switching with automatic cancellation for both the left and right turn
signal lamps.
The left multi-function switch also provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the
following interior lighting functions:
- Interior Lamps Defeat - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching to
defeat the illumination of all interior courtesy lamps when a door or the liftgate is opened.
- Interior Lamps On - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching to
illuminate all interior courtesy lamps simultaneously.
- Panel Lamps Dimming - The left multi-function switch control ring provides simultaneous
adjustable control of the illumination intensity of all instrument panel lighting at one of six available
illumination intensity levels.
Parade Mode - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching for a parade
mode that maximizes the illumination intensity of all instrument panel lighting for visibility when
driving in daylight with the exterior lamps turned on.
The left 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 unit must be replaced. The clockspring
(with the multi-function switch mounting bracket), the left multi-function switch (with the SCM), the
right multi-function switch and the jumper wire harness are each available for separate service
replacement.

Dimmer Switch: Description and Operation Left Multifunction Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The left (lighting) multi-function switch uses resistor multiplexing to control the many functions and
features it provides using a minimal number of hard wired circuits. The switch receives clean
grounds from the Steering Control Module (SCM), then provides resistor multiplexed return outputs
to the SCM to indicate the selected switch positions. The SCM then sends electronic switch status
messages over a Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus to the ElectroMechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN), and the EMIC relays electronic
switch request messages over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to other electronic
modules in the vehicle.
If the SCM detects no inputs from the left multi-function switch, it transmits an electronic Signal Not
Available (SNA) status message over the LIN data bus. The SNA status signals the EMIC to
request other electronic modules to implement a failsafe mode of operation for the exterior lighting
system. The failsafe mode automatically turns the exterior lighting ON when the ignition switch is in
the ON position, and OFF when the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
The hard wired inputs and outputs of the left multi-function switch and SCM may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, the most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose this component requires the
use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
exterior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Automatic Headlamps - The optional automatic headlamps feature is requested when the left
multi-function switch control knob is rotated to the automatic (AUTO) detent position with the
ignition switch in the ON position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left
multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN
data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the
CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Front Fog Lamps - The optional front fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The
switch control knob incorporates an internal cam mechanism that will only allow the front fog lamps
to be selected while the headlamp ON position is also selected, and will automatically move the
control knob to the front fog lamps OFF position when the control knob is rotated to deselect the
headlamps.
- Headlamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is
rotated to the headlamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The headlamp high beams are selected when the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pushed forward to the high beam selection detent position. The low beams
are selected when the control stalk is pulled rearward to the low beam selection detent position.
The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an
electronic beam select switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an
electronic beam select switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules
in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The headlamp optical horn is selected each time the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pulled fully rearward to a momentary position. The headlamp high beams will
remain illuminated for as long as the control stalk is held in this momentary position and the low
beams will be restored when the control stalk is released. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed
input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic beam select switch status message
over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic beam select switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Park Lamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is
rotated to the park lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Rear Fog Lamps - The optional rear fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position and then rotated to the rear fog
lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function
switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus
to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The switch control knob incorporates an internal cam
mechanism that will only allow the rear fog lamps to be selected while the front fog lamps ON
position is also selected, and will automatically move the control knob to the rear fog lamp OFF
position when the control knob is pushed in to deselect the front fog lamps.
- Turn Signal Control - The turn signals are requested when the left multi-function switch control
stalk is moved downward (left signal) or upward (right signal). The control stalk 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, a cancel actuator extends through an opening in the side of
the clockspring case toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is
integral to the clockspring rotor rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the
cancel

9400
actuator when it is extended from the left multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated
during a turning maneuver, one of the 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. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and
sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC,
which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other
electronic modules in the vehicle.
INTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of the how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
interior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Interior Lamps Defeat - The interior lamps defeat feature is requested when the left multi-function
switch control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps DEFEAT detent position. The SCM reads the
resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting
switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior
lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Interior Lamps On - The interior lamps ON feature is requested when the left multi-function switch
control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Panel Lamps Dimming - The panel lamps dimming function is active only when the left
multi-function switch control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting
ON, the panel lamps dimming level is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is
rotated to any one of five minor detent positions. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Parade Mode - The PARADE (or funeral) mode is active only when the left multi-function switch
control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting ON, the PARADE
mode is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is rotated to the PARADE
mode detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function
switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to
other electronic modules in the vehicle.

Fuel Gauge Sender: Description and Operation Fuel Pump Module - Operation
OPERATION
FWD
The front wheel drive (FWD) fuel pump module is located inside the fuel tank with a fuel level
sending unit and pressure regulator. The fuel pump module is a positive displacement, gerotor,
driven by a 12 volt DC permanent magnet electric motor.
The fuel pump module draws fuel through a internal filter and pushes it through the motor to an
outlet pipe. The fuel pump module contains two check valves. One valve relieves internal fuel
pump pressure and regulates maximum pump output. The second valve, in the pump outlet,
maintains pump pressure during engine off conditions.
The fuel pump pressure regulator contains a calibrated spring which forces a diaphragm against
the fuel filter return port. When pressure exceeds the calibrated amount, the diaphragm retracts,
allowing excess fuel pressure in the fuel pump module to purge into the fuel tank.
The maximum deadhead pressure is approximately 880 kPa (130 psi). The fuel pump pressure
regulator adjusts fuel system pressure to approximately 400 ± 34 kPa (58 ± 5 psi).
AWD
Operation of the all wheel drive (AWD) main fuel pump module is similar to the FWD with the
addition of a auxiliary fuel pump module with a auxiliary fuel level sending unit and draws fuel from
the base of the auxiliary fuel pump module (2) through an internal tube.
The auxiliary fuel pump module flow rate is greater than the vehicle fuel consumption rate so that
the auxiliary side of the tank is emptied before fuel is depleted from the primary side.

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.
The resistance in the sensor changes as temperature changes, changing the temperature sensor
signal circuit voltage to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). Based upon the resistance in
the sensor, the instrument cluster, sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN),
display senses a specific voltage on the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus circuit, which
corresponds to a specific temperature. The applicable instrument cluster display then displays the
proper ambient 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, the Local Area Network (LIN) data bus and the Totally
Integrated Power Module (TIPM). When the sensor is exposed to temperatures above 60° C (130°
F), or if the sensor circuit is shorted, 60° C (130° F) will appear in the 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, - 40° C (- 40° F) will appear in the display.
The ambient temperature sensor circuit can be diagnosed using the following Temperature System
Test, and Sensor Test. If the temperature sensor and circuit are confirmed to be OK, but the
temperature display is inoperative or incorrect, further testing of the instrument cluster may be
necessary. See: Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics for the appropriate procedure.
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 kilohms. At 55° C (130° F), the sensor
resistance is 2.488 kilohms. The sensor resistance should read between these two values. If OK,
further testing of the instrument cluster may be necessary. See: Instrument Cluster /
Carrier/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics for the appropriate
procedure. 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.
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.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position. Disconnect the wire harness connector from the
ambient temperature sensor. 2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position. The display should
now read - 40° C (- 40° 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.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position. The display should now read 60° C (130° F). If OK,
go to 5. 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.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position. Remove the jumper wire. Turn the ignition switch
to the "ON" position and wait until the display
again reads - 40° C (- 40° F). Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position. Reconnect the ambient
temperature sensor. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position. The 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 6
6. Clear any Diagnostic Trouble Codes that may have been set while performing the test. Perform
further diagnosis of the CAN data bus circuit, the
LIN data bus circuit, the TIPM and the ambient temperature sensor (refer to the SENSOR TEST).

Parking Brake Warning Switch: Description and Operation Parking Brake Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
There are two unique park brake switches used on this vehicle, depending upon whether the
vehicle has a foot-operated or hand-operated park brake lever mechanism.
FOOT-OPERATED
Foot-Operated Park Brake Switch
The foot-operated park brake switch (1) is located on the park brake lever mechanism on the cowl
side inner panel below the instrument panel, outboard 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 foot-operated park brake switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged,
it must be replaced.
HAND-OPERATED
Hand-Operated Park Brake Switch
The hand-operated park brake switch (1) is located on the park brake lever mechanism on the floor
panel transmission tunnel below the center floor console. This switch includes a spade-type output
terminal (2) 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 (4) 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 (3) with an integral grounding lug
on one end and an integral actuating lever and follower on the opposite end. The switch is secured
to and grounded by a single screw to the park brake lever mechanism.
The hand-operated 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
Both the foot-operated and hand-operated park brake switch are normally closed, mechanically
actuated leaf contact switches that are operated by the foot or hand 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 as a logic input by the EMIC 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.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the
electronic controls and communication between other modules and devices that rely upon inputs
from the park brake switch. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the
electronic controls and communication related to park brake switch operation requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPM system
pressures have been established for the tire size equipped on the vehicle. Undesirable system
operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same
size, type, or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire
sealants or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with TPM, as damage to the sensors may
result.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. Use tire
pressure sensors in original style factory wheels
only. If aftermarket wheels are installed, and therefore do not contain tire pressure sensors, the
system will not function properly and the driver will be continuously notified of a system
malfunction.
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 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: Any time a sensor is to be installed in a wheel, it is necessary to install a new
sensor-to-wheel seal, metal washer and valve stem
nut, to ensure air tight sealing.
CAUTION: When installing the valve core, be sure to tighten the core to specifications See:
Maintenance/Wheels and Tires/Wheels/Specifications
. Overtightening by a little as three or four inch pounds can damage the sensor.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensor Description
DESCRIPTION
On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM), one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel (5) 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 433 MHz radio frequency. The 433 MHz sensors (1) can be easily
identified by the part number.
CAUTION: Although additional sensors operating at 433 MHz sensors are available and are used
in other applications, they are not
interchangeable. Always make sure the correct sensor is being used and be sure to replace the
sensor with the correct part number.
NOTE: Once mounted inside a tire and wheel assembly you are not able to visually see the
difference between this sensor and other 315 MHz
and 433 MHz sensors. At that point, the TPM/RKE Analyzer 9936, with the Scan Tool may be used
to identify the sensor frequency or the tire can be dismounted allowing visual inspection of the
sensor body and part number.
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). Do not attempt to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. 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.

Page 9466
The serviceable components of the tire pressure sensor are:
- Sensor-To-Wheel Seal (2) and Metal Washer (1)
- Valve Stem Cap (4)
- Valve Stem Core
- Valve Stem Nut (with pressed-in washer) (3)
NOTE: Any time a sensor is installed on a wheel, a new Sensor-To-Wheel Seal (2), Metal Washer
(1) and Valve Stem Nut (3) must be installed
to ensure air tight sealing. A service kit is available.
The valve stem caps and cores 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 by using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer. Using a TPM-RKE
Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission from a sensor.
NOTE: The TPM-RKE Analyzer will not define the mode.
The TPM sensor can be in one of the following operating modes:
- OFF MODE - A new TPM sensor will be in this mode. In this mode the sensor does not transmit
periodically on its own. By forcing a transmission from the sensor with the TPM-RKE Analyzer, it
will change to the STATIONARY MODE. The sensor will also automatically change from OFF
mode to the STATIONARY MODE once it experiences a great increase in pressure (i.e. installation
into a wheel/tire assembly and then inflated).
- WAL MODE - This is the operating mode the sensor assumes when the vehicle is driven over
15mph (24km/h), but only after the vehicle was previously parked for a duration of 18 minutes or
greater. In WAL MODE the sensors transmit every 33 seconds and these transmissions contain
left/right information that allows the TPM Module to determine sensor location on the vehicle. WAL
MODE lasts for the first 10 minutes of consecutive driving, then NORMAL DRIVE mode ensues.
- FACTORY MODE- This is a special case of WAL MODE. If a TPM sensor has just been taken out
of OFF MODE, then for the first 3 minutes of the WAL period (10 minutes) the sensors transmit at
an accelerated rate of every 10 seconds. After the first 20 drives, then the sensors never again
transmit out of FACTORY MODE.
- NORMAL MODE - This is the operating mode the sensor assumes after the first 10 minutes of a
drive. In NORMAL MODE the sensors transmit every 66 seconds and cease transmitting left/right
information.
- SERVICE MODE- Once a vehicle stops, the sensors go into SERVICE MODE. After 18 minutes
of no driving then the sensors go into the STATIONARY MODE. If the vehicle was stopped for less
than 18 minutes and driving resumes, then the sensors go back to the NORMAL MODE.
- STATIONARY MODE - When a vehicle has been stopped for more then 18 minutes, then the
sensor is forced into STATIONARY MODE. In STATIONARY MODE the sensor never transmits
any pressure information. The sensor leaves STATIONARY MODE and enters WAL MODE when
the vehicle is driven above 15mph (24km/h).
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the TPM module can monitor the
state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The TPM module can automatically
learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 20 minutes continuously above 15 mph (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 TPM module can also learn the sensor's ID using the
TPM-RKE Analyzer, Special Tool 9936, with the Scan Tool following the procedure listed in the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Backup Lamp Switch: Description and Operation Backup Lamp Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a manual transmission (2) have a normally open, spring-loaded plunger
type backup lamp switch (1). Vehicles with an optional electronic automatic transmission have a
Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) that is used to perform several functions, including that of the
backup lamp switch. The TRS is described in further detail elsewhere in this service information.
Refer to the service and diagnostic information for the automatic transmission type installed in the
vehicle.
The backup lamp switch is located in a threaded hole on the left facing surface of the manual
transmission housing. The switch has a threaded body and a hex formation near the plunger end of
the switch. An integral connector receptacle at the end of the switch opposite the plunger connects
the switch to the vehicle electrical system through a take out and connector of the engine wire
harness. When installed, only the switch connector and the hex formation are visible on the outside
of the transmission housing.
The backup lamp switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the entire
switch unit must be replaced. Refer to the service and diagnostic information for the manual
transmission type installed in the vehicle.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Backup Lamp > Backup Lamp Switch > Component Information >
Description and Operation > Backup Lamp Switch - Description > Page 9484
Backup Lamp Switch: Description and Operation Backup Lamp Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The backup lamp switch controls a path to ground for the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM)
on the reverse switch signal circuit. The TIPM reads this input through an internal pull-up, then
controls an output through a high side driver that regulates the flow of battery voltage to the backup
lamp bulbs as appropriate on the backup lamp feed circuit. The switch plunger is mechanically
actuated by the gearshift mechanism within the transmission, which will depress the switch plunger
and close the switch contacts whenever the REVERSE gear has been selected. The switch
receives ground at all times through a take out and eyelet terminal of the wire harness that is
secured to the body sheet metal.
The backup 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. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
the electronic controls and communication between other modules and devices that rely upon
inputs from the backup lamp switch. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
the electronic controls and communication related to backup lamp switch operation requires the
use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Brake Light Switch: Description and Operation Stop Lamp Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
Two unique brake lamp switches are used in this vehicle, depending upon whether the vehicle was
built during early or late production. These switches are not interchangeable and both are
illustrated and described in the paragraphs that follow.
EARLY PRODUCTION
This brake lamp switch (2) is a three circuit, spring-loaded plunger actuated switch that is secured
to the brake pedal support bracket on the dash panel 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 body 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.
This 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.
LATE PRODUCTION
This brake lamp switch (1) is a three circuit, spring-loaded plunger actuated switch that is secured
to the brake pedal support bracket under the instrument panel on the driver side of the vehicle. The
molded plastic switch housing has an integral connector receptacle (4) containing six terminal pins.
The switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out of the body
wire harness.
The switch plunger (3) extends through a mounting collar (2) on one end of the switch housing. The
plunger has a telescoping self-adjustment feature that is activated after the switch is installed by
pulling the brake pedal upward to its normal at-rest position. The telescoping plunger can be pulled
outward from the switch housing to repeat the self-adjustment procedure if necessary.

Brake Light Switch: Description and Operation Stop Lamp Switch - Operation
OPERATION
Both the early and late production brake lamp switches control 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 Center High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) and the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) 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 signal 1 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 Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) on an ignition run/start control output circuit, and
supplies this battery voltage to the PCM on a brake signal 2 circuit only when the brake pedal is
released (brake lamp switch plunger is depressed).
The PCM sends electronic brake lamp switch status messages to other electronic modules in the
vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus for use as an additional logic input for
controlling many other vehicle functions and features.
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. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
the electronic controls and communication that provide some features related to brake lamp switch
operation. The most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose the electronic controls and
communication related to brake lamp switch operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Left Multifunction Switch - Description
Dimmer Switch: Description and Operation Left Multifunction Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The left (lighting) multi-function switch is located on the left side of the steering column, just below
the steering wheel. This switch is the primary control for the interior and exterior lighting systems.
The only visible components of the switch are the control stalk (2), control knob (1) and control
sleeve (3) that extend through the steering column shrouds on the left side of the column. The
remainder of the switch including its mounting provisions, its electrical connection, and the turn
signal cancel actuator are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing (2) and controls (1) 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. A single screw (7) through a mounting tab integral to the back of the
switch housing, and a slide tab integral to the bottom of the switch housing secure the switch to the
mounting bracket integral to the clockspring (3).
The Steering Control Module (SCM) is internal to the switch housing. The switch outputs are
internally connected directly to the SCM. A single connector receptacle containing seven terminal
pins is integral to the inboard end of the switch housing and connects the right multi-function switch
(6) through a jumper wire harness (5) directly to the SCM. An integral connector receptacle on the
back of the switch housing connects the SCM to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The left multi-function switch provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the following
exterior lighting functions:
- Automatic Headlamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob
provides detent switching for the optional automatic headlamps.
- Front Fog Lamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob provides
detent switching for the optional front fog lamps.
- Headlamps - The left multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching for the
headlamps.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The left multi-function switch control stalk provides detent switching
for selection of the headlamp high or low

beams.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The left multi-function switch control stalk includes momentary switching
of the headlamp high beam circuits to provide an optical horn feature (sometimes referred to as
flash-to-pass), which allows the vehicle operator to momentarily flash the headlamp high beams as
an optical signalling device.
- Park Lamps - The left multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching for the park
lamps.
Rear Fog Lamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob provides
detent switching for the optional rear fog lamps. Rear fog lamps are optional only for vehicles
manufactured for certain export markets, where they are required.
- Turn Signal Control - The left multi-function switch control stalk provides both momentary
non-detent switching and detent switching with automatic cancellation for both the left and right turn
signal lamps.
The left multi-function switch also provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the
following interior lighting functions:
- Interior Lamps Defeat - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching to
defeat the illumination of all interior courtesy lamps when a door or the liftgate is opened.
- Interior Lamps On - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching to
illuminate all interior courtesy lamps simultaneously.
- Panel Lamps Dimming - The left multi-function switch control ring provides simultaneous
adjustable control of the illumination intensity of all instrument panel lighting at one of six available
illumination intensity levels.
Parade Mode - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching for a parade
mode that maximizes the illumination intensity of all instrument panel lighting for visibility when
driving in daylight with the exterior lamps turned on.
The left 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 unit must be replaced. The clockspring
(with the multi-function switch mounting bracket), the left multi-function switch (with the SCM), the
right multi-function switch and the jumper wire harness are each available for separate service
replacement.

Left Multifunction Switch - Description > Page 9542
Dimmer Switch: Description and Operation Left Multifunction Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The left (lighting) multi-function switch uses resistor multiplexing to control the many functions and
features it provides using a minimal number of hard wired circuits. The switch receives clean
grounds from the Steering Control Module (SCM), then provides resistor multiplexed return outputs
to the SCM to indicate the selected switch positions. The SCM then sends electronic switch status
messages over a Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus to the ElectroMechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN), and the EMIC relays electronic
switch request messages over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to other electronic
modules in the vehicle.
If the SCM detects no inputs from the left multi-function switch, it transmits an electronic Signal Not
Available (SNA) status message over the LIN data bus. The SNA status signals the EMIC to
request other electronic modules to implement a failsafe mode of operation for the exterior lighting
system. The failsafe mode automatically turns the exterior lighting ON when the ignition switch is in
the ON position, and OFF when the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
The hard wired inputs and outputs of the left multi-function switch and SCM may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, the most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose this component requires the
use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
exterior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Automatic Headlamps - The optional automatic headlamps feature is requested when the left
multi-function switch control knob is rotated to the automatic (AUTO) detent position with the
ignition switch in the ON position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left
multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN
data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the
CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Front Fog Lamps - The optional front fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The
switch control knob incorporates an internal cam mechanism that will only allow the front fog lamps
to be selected while the headlamp ON position is also selected, and will automatically move the
control knob to the front fog lamps OFF position when the control knob is rotated to deselect the
headlamps.
- Headlamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is
rotated to the headlamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The headlamp high beams are selected when the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pushed forward to the high beam selection detent position. The low beams
are selected when the control stalk is pulled rearward to the low beam selection detent position.
The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an
electronic beam select switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an
electronic beam select switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules
in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The headlamp optical horn is selected each time the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pulled fully rearward to a momentary position. The headlamp high beams will
remain illuminated for as long as the control stalk is held in this momentary position and the low
beams will be restored when the control stalk is released. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed
input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic beam select switch status message
over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic beam select switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Park Lamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is
rotated to the park lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Rear Fog Lamps - The optional rear fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position and then rotated to the rear fog
lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function
switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus
to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The switch control knob incorporates an internal cam
mechanism that will only allow the rear fog lamps to be selected while the front fog lamps ON
position is also selected, and will automatically move the control knob to the rear fog lamp OFF
position when the control knob is pushed in to deselect the front fog lamps.
- Turn Signal Control - The turn signals are requested when the left multi-function switch control
stalk is moved downward (left signal) or upward (right signal). The control stalk 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, a cancel actuator extends through an opening in the side of
the clockspring case toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is
integral to the clockspring rotor rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the
cancel

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Dimmer Switch > Component Information > Description and Operation >
Left Multifunction Switch - Description > Page 9543
actuator when it is extended from the left multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated
during a turning maneuver, one of the 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. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and
sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC,
which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other
electronic modules in the vehicle.
INTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of the how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
interior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Interior Lamps Defeat - The interior lamps defeat feature is requested when the left multi-function
switch control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps DEFEAT detent position. The SCM reads the
resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting
switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior
lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Interior Lamps On - The interior lamps ON feature is requested when the left multi-function switch
control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Panel Lamps Dimming - The panel lamps dimming function is active only when the left
multi-function switch control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting
ON, the panel lamps dimming level is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is
rotated to any one of five minor detent positions. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Parade Mode - The PARADE (or funeral) mode is active only when the left multi-function switch
control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting ON, the PARADE
mode is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is rotated to the PARADE
mode detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function
switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to
other electronic modules in the vehicle.

DESCRIPTION
An optional removable and rechargeable flashlight (3) is encased within a molded plastic housing,
which is secured within a bezel/charging station (2) at the back of the left quarter inner trim panel
(1) by two tabs on the end opposite the clear flashlight lens and a push-push type latch
mechanism. The flashlight is powered by a rechargeable and replaceable lithium battery. A
momentary switch on the flashlight electronic circuit board is actuated by a plastic push button
located on the side of the flashlight housing. When the flashlight is turned ON it illuminates two
clear Light Emitting Diode (LED) units to create a wide and bright light beam. A red LED unit on the
side of the flashlight housing behind the push button illuminates as the battery becomes discharged
to indicate that the unit requires recharging.
The bezel/charging station unit, the flashlight battery and the flashlight unit are each available for
separate service replacement. If any other component of the flashlight or bezel/charging station are
damaged or ineffective, the complete flashlight unit or bezel/charging station unit must be replaced.

OPERATION
The rechargeable lithium battery within the flashlight automatically recharges while the flashlight is
nested in its receptacle within the bezel charging station and the engine is running. The flashlight
has a pair of electrical contacts that mate with contacts within the charging station that provide a
source of recharging current. The red Light Emitting Diode (LED) unit on the side of the flashlight
behind the ON-OFF push button illuminates when the charge of the flashlight battery is becoming
depleted.
The flashlight is removed from the bezel/charging station by pushing it momentarily at the
depression marked PUSH on the flashlight housing, then releasing it and swinging it downward far
enough to disengage two slots on the lower end of the flashlight from two tabs within the charging
station. When the flashlight is removed from its receptacle in the bezel/charging station, it can be
used as an auxiliary light source in emergencies or other situations where a portable light source is
required. The flashlight is turned ON or OFF by momentarily depressing and releasing the ON-OFF
push button on the side of the flashlight housing. Reverse the removal procedure to restore the
flashlight to the bezel/charging station and to recharge the flashlight battery.

Fog/Driving Lamp Switch: Description and Operation Left Multifunction Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The left (lighting) multi-function switch is located on the left side of the steering column, just below
the steering wheel. This switch is the primary control for the interior and exterior lighting systems.
The only visible components of the switch are the control stalk (2), control knob (1) and control
sleeve (3) that extend through the steering column shrouds on the left side of the column. The
remainder of the switch including its mounting provisions, its electrical connection, and the turn
signal cancel actuator are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing (2) and controls (1) 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. A single screw (7) through a mounting tab integral to the back of the
switch housing, and a slide tab integral to the bottom of the switch housing secure the switch to the
mounting bracket integral to the clockspring (3).
The Steering Control Module (SCM) is internal to the switch housing. The switch outputs are
internally connected directly to the SCM. A single connector receptacle containing seven terminal
pins is integral to the inboard end of the switch housing and connects the right multi-function switch
(6) through a jumper wire harness (5) directly to the SCM. An integral connector receptacle on the
back of the switch housing connects the SCM to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The left multi-function switch provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the following
exterior lighting functions:
- Automatic Headlamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob
provides detent switching for the optional automatic headlamps.

beams.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The left multi-function switch control stalk includes momentary switching
of the headlamp high beam circuits to provide an optical horn feature (sometimes referred to as
flash-to-pass), which allows the vehicle operator to momentarily flash the headlamp high beams as
an optical signalling device.
- Park Lamps - The left multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching for the park
lamps.
Rear Fog Lamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob provides
detent switching for the optional rear fog lamps. Rear fog lamps are optional only for vehicles
manufactured for certain export markets, where they are required.
- Turn Signal Control - The left multi-function switch control stalk provides both momentary
non-detent switching and detent switching with automatic cancellation for both the left and right turn
signal lamps.
The left multi-function switch also provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the
following interior lighting functions:
- Interior Lamps Defeat - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching to
defeat the illumination of all interior courtesy lamps when a door or the liftgate is opened.
- Interior Lamps On - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching to
illuminate all interior courtesy lamps simultaneously.
- Panel Lamps Dimming - The left multi-function switch control ring provides simultaneous
adjustable control of the illumination intensity of all instrument panel lighting at one of six available
illumination intensity levels.
Parade Mode - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching for a parade
mode that maximizes the illumination intensity of all instrument panel lighting for visibility when
driving in daylight with the exterior lamps turned on.
The left 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 unit must be replaced. The clockspring
(with the multi-function switch mounting bracket), the left multi-function switch (with the SCM), the
right multi-function switch and the jumper wire harness are each available for separate service
replacement.

Fog/Driving Lamp Switch: Description and Operation Left Multifunction Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The left (lighting) multi-function switch uses resistor multiplexing to control the many functions and
features it provides using a minimal number of hard wired circuits. The switch receives clean
grounds from the Steering Control Module (SCM), then provides resistor multiplexed return outputs
to the SCM to indicate the selected switch positions. The SCM then sends electronic switch status
messages over a Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus to the ElectroMechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN), and the EMIC relays electronic
switch request messages over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to other electronic
modules in the vehicle.
If the SCM detects no inputs from the left multi-function switch, it transmits an electronic Signal Not
Available (SNA) status message over the LIN data bus. The SNA status signals the EMIC to
request other electronic modules to implement a failsafe mode of operation for the exterior lighting
system. The failsafe mode automatically turns the exterior lighting ON when the ignition switch is in
the ON position, and OFF when the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
The hard wired inputs and outputs of the left multi-function switch and SCM may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, the most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose this component requires the
use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
exterior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Automatic Headlamps - The optional automatic headlamps feature is requested when the left
multi-function switch control knob is rotated to the automatic (AUTO) detent position with the
ignition switch in the ON position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left
multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN
data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the
CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Front Fog Lamps - The optional front fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The
switch control knob incorporates an internal cam mechanism that will only allow the front fog lamps
to be selected while the headlamp ON position is also selected, and will automatically move the
control knob to the front fog lamps OFF position when the control knob is rotated to deselect the
headlamps.
- Headlamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is
rotated to the headlamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The headlamp high beams are selected when the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pushed forward to the high beam selection detent position. The low beams
are selected when the control stalk is pulled rearward to the low beam selection detent position.
The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an
electronic beam select switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an
electronic beam select switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules
in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The headlamp optical horn is selected each time the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pulled fully rearward to a momentary position. The headlamp high beams will
remain illuminated for as long as the control stalk is held in this momentary position and the low
beams will be restored when the control stalk is released. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed
input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic beam select switch status message
over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic beam select switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Park Lamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is
rotated to the park lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Rear Fog Lamps - The optional rear fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position and then rotated to the rear fog
lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function
switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus
to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The switch control knob incorporates an internal cam
mechanism that will only allow the rear fog lamps to be selected while the front fog lamps ON
position is also selected, and will automatically move the control knob to the rear fog lamp OFF
position when the control knob is pushed in to deselect the front fog lamps.
- Turn Signal Control - The turn signals are requested when the left multi-function switch control
stalk is moved downward (left signal) or upward (right signal). The control stalk 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, a cancel actuator extends through an opening in the side of
the clockspring case toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is
integral to the clockspring rotor rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the
cancel

actuator when it is extended from the left multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated
during a turning maneuver, one of the 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. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and
sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC,
which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other
electronic modules in the vehicle.

Hazard Warning Switch: Description and Operation Hazard Warning Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The hazard switch (3) is integral to the instrument panel switch pod (1), which is secured to the
instrument panel center bezel just above the heater and air conditioner controls. A red, stencil-like
International Control and Display Symbol icon for Hazard Warning identifies the hazard switch
button. The remainder of the hazard switch circuitry is concealed within the instrument panel switch
pod.
The hazard switch button has panel lamps dimmer controlled illumination for night visibility. The
switch button latches to a slightly lowered position when the hazard warning system is activated
and the icon on the switch button will illuminate at an increased intensity while the turn signals and
turn signal indicators are flashing. The switch button unlatches to a position flush with the other
push buttons in the switch pod when the hazard warning is deactivated.
All of the circuitry and components of the hazard switch are contained within a molded black plastic
instrument panel switch pod housing. A single connector receptacle is integral to the back of the
switch pod housing. The switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The hazard switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the entire
instrument panel switch pod unit must be replaced. See: Accessories and Optional
Equipment/Integrated Accessory Switch Assembly/Service and Repair/Instrument Cluster Switch
Pod - Removal.

Hazard Warning Switch: Description and Operation Hazard Warning Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The status of the hazard switch is continually monitored by the circuitry within the instrument panel
switch pod. The switch pod receives battery voltage at all times on a fused battery feed circuit, and
a path to ground at all times through the instrument panel wire harness. The only other inputs to
the switch pod consists of electronic communication with the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster
(EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) over the single wire Local Interface
Network (LIN) data bus.
Whenever the hazard switch is in its unlatched and raised position, the hazard warning system is
selected and the switch pod circuitry provides a hard wired output to the Totally Integrated Power
Module (TIPM). When the TIPM receives a hazard switch input it then controls hazard warning
system operation and flash rate by controlling battery voltage outputs through high side drivers on
the right and left, front and rear turn signal feed circuits. The TIPM also sends the appropriate
electronic messages back to the EMIC to control the illumination and flash rate of the right and left
turn signal indicators, as well as to control the click rate of an electromechanical relay soldered
onto the EMIC electronic circuit board that emulates the sound emitted by a conventional hazard
warning flasher.
The hard wired circuits for the instrument panel switch pod 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 hazard warning
switch or the electronic controls and communication between other modules and devices that
provide some features of the hazard warning system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the hazard switch or the electronic controls and communication related to
hazard warning system operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Headlamp Dimmer Switch: Description and Operation Left Multifunction Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The left (lighting) multi-function switch is located on the left side of the steering column, just below
the steering wheel. This switch is the primary control for the interior and exterior lighting systems.
The only visible components of the switch are the control stalk (2), control knob (1) and control
sleeve (3) that extend through the steering column shrouds on the left side of the column. The
remainder of the switch including its mounting provisions, its electrical connection, and the turn
signal cancel actuator are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing (2) and controls (1) 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. A single screw (7) through a mounting tab integral to the back of the
switch housing, and a slide tab integral to the bottom of the switch housing secure the switch to the
mounting bracket integral to the clockspring (3).
The Steering Control Module (SCM) is internal to the switch housing. The switch outputs are
internally connected directly to the SCM. A single connector receptacle containing seven terminal
pins is integral to the inboard end of the switch housing and connects the right multi-function switch
(6) through a jumper wire harness (5) directly to the SCM. An integral connector receptacle on the
back of the switch housing connects the SCM to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The left multi-function switch provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the following
exterior lighting functions:

beams.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The left multi-function switch control stalk includes momentary switching
of the headlamp high beam circuits to provide an optical horn feature (sometimes referred to as
flash-to-pass), which allows the vehicle operator to momentarily flash the headlamp high beams as
an optical signalling device.
- Park Lamps - The left multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching for the park
lamps.
Rear Fog Lamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob provides
detent switching for the optional rear fog lamps. Rear fog lamps are optional only for vehicles
manufactured for certain export markets, where they are required.
- Turn Signal Control - The left multi-function switch control stalk provides both momentary
non-detent switching and detent switching with automatic cancellation for both the left and right turn
signal lamps.
The left multi-function switch also provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the
following interior lighting functions:
- Interior Lamps Defeat - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching to
defeat the illumination of all interior courtesy lamps when a door or the liftgate is opened.
- Interior Lamps On - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching to
illuminate all interior courtesy lamps simultaneously.
- Panel Lamps Dimming - The left multi-function switch control ring provides simultaneous
adjustable control of the illumination intensity of all instrument panel lighting at one of six available
illumination intensity levels.
Parade Mode - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching for a parade
mode that maximizes the illumination intensity of all instrument panel lighting for visibility when
driving in daylight with the exterior lamps turned on.

Headlamp Dimmer Switch: Description and Operation Left Multifunction Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The left (lighting) multi-function switch uses resistor multiplexing to control the many functions and
features it provides using a minimal number of hard wired circuits. The switch receives clean
grounds from the Steering Control Module (SCM), then provides resistor multiplexed return outputs
to the SCM to indicate the selected switch positions. The SCM then sends electronic switch status
messages over a Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus to the ElectroMechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN), and the EMIC relays electronic
switch request messages over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to other electronic
modules in the vehicle.
If the SCM detects no inputs from the left multi-function switch, it transmits an electronic Signal Not
Available (SNA) status message over the LIN data bus. The SNA status signals the EMIC to
request other electronic modules to implement a failsafe mode of operation for the exterior lighting
system. The failsafe mode automatically turns the exterior lighting ON when the ignition switch is in
the ON position, and OFF when the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
The hard wired inputs and outputs of the left multi-function switch and SCM may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, the most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose this component requires the
use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
exterior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Automatic Headlamps - The optional automatic headlamps feature is requested when the left
multi-function switch control knob is rotated to the automatic (AUTO) detent position with the
ignition switch in the ON position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left
multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN
data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the
CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Front Fog Lamps - The optional front fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The
switch control knob incorporates an internal cam mechanism that will only allow the front fog lamps
to be selected while the headlamp ON position is also selected, and will automatically move the
control knob to the front fog lamps OFF position when the control knob is rotated to deselect the
headlamps.
- Headlamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is
rotated to the headlamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The headlamp high beams are selected when the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pushed forward to the high beam selection detent position. The low beams
are selected when the control stalk is pulled rearward to the low beam selection detent position.
The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an
electronic beam select switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an
electronic beam select switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules
in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The headlamp optical horn is selected each time the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pulled fully rearward to a momentary position. The headlamp high beams will
remain illuminated for as long as the control stalk is held in this momentary position and the low
beams will be restored when the control stalk is released. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed
input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic beam select switch status message
over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic beam select switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Park Lamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is
rotated to the park lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Rear Fog Lamps - The optional rear fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position and then rotated to the rear fog
lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function
switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus
to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The switch control knob incorporates an internal cam
mechanism that will only allow the rear fog lamps to be selected while the front fog lamps ON
position is also selected, and will automatically move the control knob to the rear fog lamp OFF
position when the control knob is pushed in to deselect the front fog lamps.
- Turn Signal Control - The turn signals are requested when the left multi-function switch control
stalk is moved downward (left signal) or upward (right signal). The control stalk 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, a cancel actuator extends through an opening in the side of
the clockspring case toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is
integral to the clockspring rotor rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the
cancel

actuator when it is extended from the left multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated
during a turning maneuver, one of the 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. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and
sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC,
which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other
electronic modules in the vehicle.
INTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of the how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
interior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Interior Lamps Defeat - The interior lamps defeat feature is requested when the left multi-function
switch control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps DEFEAT detent position. The SCM reads the
resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting
switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior
lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Interior Lamps On - The interior lamps ON feature is requested when the left multi-function switch
control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Panel Lamps Dimming - The panel lamps dimming function is active only when the left
multi-function switch control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting
ON, the panel lamps dimming level is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is
rotated to any one of five minor detent positions. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Parade Mode - The PARADE (or funeral) mode is active only when the left multi-function switch
control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting ON, the PARADE
mode is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is rotated to the PARADE
mode detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function
switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to
other electronic modules in the vehicle.

Headlamp Switch: Description and Operation Left Multifunction Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The left (lighting) multi-function switch is located on the left side of the steering column, just below
the steering wheel. This switch is the primary control for the interior and exterior lighting systems.
The only visible components of the switch are the control stalk (2), control knob (1) and control
sleeve (3) that extend through the steering column shrouds on the left side of the column. The
remainder of the switch including its mounting provisions, its electrical connection, and the turn
signal cancel actuator are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing (2) and controls (1) 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. A single screw (7) through a mounting tab integral to the back of the
switch housing, and a slide tab integral to the bottom of the switch housing secure the switch to the
mounting bracket integral to the clockspring (3).
The Steering Control Module (SCM) is internal to the switch housing. The switch outputs are
internally connected directly to the SCM. A single connector receptacle containing seven terminal
pins is integral to the inboard end of the switch housing and connects the right multi-function switch
(6) through a jumper wire harness (5) directly to the SCM. An integral connector receptacle on the
back of the switch housing connects the SCM to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The left multi-function switch provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the following
exterior lighting functions:
- Automatic Headlamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob
provides detent switching for the optional automatic headlamps.
- Front Fog Lamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob provides
detent switching for the optional front fog lamps.
- Headlamps - The left multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching for the
headlamps.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The left multi-function switch control stalk provides detent switching
for selection of the headlamp high or low

beams.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The left multi-function switch control stalk includes momentary switching
of the headlamp high beam circuits to provide an optical horn feature (sometimes referred to as
flash-to-pass), which allows the vehicle operator to momentarily flash the headlamp high beams as
an optical signalling device.
- Park Lamps - The left multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching for the park
lamps.
Rear Fog Lamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob provides
detent switching for the optional rear fog lamps. Rear fog lamps are optional only for vehicles
manufactured for certain export markets, where they are required.
- Turn Signal Control - The left multi-function switch control stalk provides both momentary
non-detent switching and detent switching with automatic cancellation for both the left and right turn
signal lamps.
The left multi-function switch also provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the
following interior lighting functions:
- Interior Lamps Defeat - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching to
defeat the illumination of all interior courtesy lamps when a door or the liftgate is opened.
- Interior Lamps On - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching to
illuminate all interior courtesy lamps simultaneously.
- Panel Lamps Dimming - The left multi-function switch control ring provides simultaneous
adjustable control of the illumination intensity of all instrument panel lighting at one of six available
illumination intensity levels.
Parade Mode - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching for a parade
mode that maximizes the illumination intensity of all instrument panel lighting for visibility when
driving in daylight with the exterior lamps turned on.
The left 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 unit must be replaced. The clockspring
(with the multi-function switch mounting bracket), the left multi-function switch (with the SCM), the
right multi-function switch and the jumper wire harness are each available for separate service
replacement.

Headlamp Switch: Description and Operation Left Multifunction Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The left (lighting) multi-function switch uses resistor multiplexing to control the many functions and
features it provides using a minimal number of hard wired circuits. The switch receives clean
grounds from the Steering Control Module (SCM), then provides resistor multiplexed return outputs
to the SCM to indicate the selected switch positions. The SCM then sends electronic switch status
messages over a Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus to the ElectroMechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN), and the EMIC relays electronic
switch request messages over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to other electronic
modules in the vehicle.
If the SCM detects no inputs from the left multi-function switch, it transmits an electronic Signal Not
Available (SNA) status message over the LIN data bus. The SNA status signals the EMIC to
request other electronic modules to implement a failsafe mode of operation for the exterior lighting
system. The failsafe mode automatically turns the exterior lighting ON when the ignition switch is in
the ON position, and OFF when the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
The hard wired inputs and outputs of the left multi-function switch and SCM may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, the most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose this component requires the
use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
exterior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Automatic Headlamps - The optional automatic headlamps feature is requested when the left
multi-function switch control knob is rotated to the automatic (AUTO) detent position with the
ignition switch in the ON position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left
multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN
data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the
CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Front Fog Lamps - The optional front fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The
switch control knob incorporates an internal cam mechanism that will only allow the front fog lamps
to be selected while the headlamp ON position is also selected, and will automatically move the
control knob to the front fog lamps OFF position when the control knob is rotated to deselect the
headlamps.
- Headlamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is
rotated to the headlamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The headlamp high beams are selected when the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pushed forward to the high beam selection detent position. The low beams
are selected when the control stalk is pulled rearward to the low beam selection detent position.
The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an
electronic beam select switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an
electronic beam select switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules
in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The headlamp optical horn is selected each time the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pulled fully rearward to a momentary position. The headlamp high beams will
remain illuminated for as long as the control stalk is held in this momentary position and the low
beams will be restored when the control stalk is released. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed
input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic beam select switch status message
over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic beam select switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Park Lamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is
rotated to the park lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Rear Fog Lamps - The optional rear fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position and then rotated to the rear fog
lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function
switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus
to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The switch control knob incorporates an internal cam
mechanism that will only allow the rear fog lamps to be selected while the front fog lamps ON
position is also selected, and will automatically move the control knob to the rear fog lamp OFF
position when the control knob is pushed in to deselect the front fog lamps.
- Turn Signal Control - The turn signals are requested when the left multi-function switch control
stalk is moved downward (left signal) or upward (right signal). The control stalk 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, a cancel actuator extends through an opening in the side of
the clockspring case toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is
integral to the clockspring rotor rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the
cancel

and Operation > Left Multifunction Switch - Description > Page 9620
actuator when it is extended from the left multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated
during a turning maneuver, one of the 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. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and
sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC,
which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other
electronic modules in the vehicle.
INTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of the how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
interior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Interior Lamps Defeat - The interior lamps defeat feature is requested when the left multi-function
switch control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps DEFEAT detent position. The SCM reads the
resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting
switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior
lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Interior Lamps On - The interior lamps ON feature is requested when the left multi-function switch
control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Panel Lamps Dimming - The panel lamps dimming function is active only when the left
multi-function switch control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting
ON, the panel lamps dimming level is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is
rotated to any one of five minor detent positions. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Parade Mode - The PARADE (or funeral) mode is active only when the left multi-function switch
control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting ON, the PARADE
mode is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is rotated to the PARADE
mode detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function
switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to
other electronic modules in the vehicle.

Backup Lamp Switch: Description and Operation Backup Lamp Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a manual transmission (2) have a normally open, spring-loaded plunger
type backup lamp switch (1). Vehicles with an optional electronic automatic transmission have a
Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) that is used to perform several functions, including that of the
backup lamp switch. The TRS is described in further detail elsewhere in this service information.
Refer to the service and diagnostic information for the automatic transmission type installed in the
vehicle.
The backup lamp switch is located in a threaded hole on the left facing surface of the manual
transmission housing. The switch has a threaded body and a hex formation near the plunger end of
the switch. An integral connector receptacle at the end of the switch opposite the plunger connects
the switch to the vehicle electrical system through a take out and connector of the engine wire
harness. When installed, only the switch connector and the hex formation are visible on the outside
of the transmission housing.
The backup lamp switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the entire
switch unit must be replaced. Refer to the service and diagnostic information for the manual
transmission type installed in the vehicle.

Backup Lamp Switch: Description and Operation Backup Lamp Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The backup lamp switch controls a path to ground for the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM)
on the reverse switch signal circuit. The TIPM reads this input through an internal pull-up, then
controls an output through a high side driver that regulates the flow of battery voltage to the backup
lamp bulbs as appropriate on the backup lamp feed circuit. The switch plunger is mechanically
actuated by the gearshift mechanism within the transmission, which will depress the switch plunger
and close the switch contacts whenever the REVERSE gear has been selected. The switch
receives ground at all times through a take out and eyelet terminal of the wire harness that is
secured to the body sheet metal.
The backup 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. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
the electronic controls and communication between other modules and devices that rely upon
inputs from the backup lamp switch. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
the electronic controls and communication related to backup lamp switch operation requires the
use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Brake Light Switch: Description and Operation Stop Lamp Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
Two unique brake lamp switches are used in this vehicle, depending upon whether the vehicle was
built during early or late production. These switches are not interchangeable and both are
illustrated and described in the paragraphs that follow.
EARLY PRODUCTION
This brake lamp switch (2) is a three circuit, spring-loaded plunger actuated switch that is secured
to the brake pedal support bracket on the dash panel 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 body 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.
This 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.
LATE PRODUCTION
This brake lamp switch (1) is a three circuit, spring-loaded plunger actuated switch that is secured
to the brake pedal support bracket under the instrument panel on the driver side of the vehicle. The
molded plastic switch housing has an integral connector receptacle (4) containing six terminal pins.
The switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out of the body
wire harness.
The switch plunger (3) extends through a mounting collar (2) on one end of the switch housing. The
plunger has a telescoping self-adjustment feature that is activated after the switch is installed by
pulling the brake pedal upward to its normal at-rest position. The telescoping plunger can be pulled
outward from the switch housing to repeat the self-adjustment procedure if necessary.

Brake Light Switch: Description and Operation Stop Lamp Switch - Operation
OPERATION
Both the early and late production brake lamp switches control 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 Center High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) and the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) 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 signal 1 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 Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) on an ignition run/start control output circuit, and
supplies this battery voltage to the PCM on a brake signal 2 circuit only when the brake pedal is
released (brake lamp switch plunger is depressed).
The PCM sends electronic brake lamp switch status messages to other electronic modules in the
vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus for use as an additional logic input for
controlling many other vehicle functions and features.
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. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
the electronic controls and communication that provide some features related to brake lamp switch
operation. The most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose the electronic controls and
communication related to brake lamp switch operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Combination Switch: Description and Operation Left Multifunction Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The left (lighting) multi-function switch is located on the left side of the steering column, just below
the steering wheel. This switch is the primary control for the interior and exterior lighting systems.
The only visible components of the switch are the control stalk (2), control knob (1) and control
sleeve (3) that extend through the steering column shrouds on the left side of the column. The
remainder of the switch including its mounting provisions, its electrical connection, and the turn
signal cancel actuator are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing (2) and controls (1) 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. A single screw (7) through a mounting tab integral to the back of the
switch housing, and a slide tab integral to the bottom of the switch housing secure the switch to the
mounting bracket integral to the clockspring (3).
The Steering Control Module (SCM) is internal to the switch housing. The switch outputs are
internally connected directly to the SCM. A single connector receptacle containing seven terminal
pins is integral to the inboard end of the switch housing and connects the right multi-function switch
(6) through a jumper wire harness (5) directly to the SCM. An integral connector receptacle on the
back of the switch housing connects the SCM to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The left multi-function switch provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the following
exterior lighting functions:
- Automatic Headlamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob
provides detent switching for the optional automatic headlamps.
- Front Fog Lamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob provides
detent switching for the optional front fog lamps.
- Headlamps - The left multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching for the
headlamps.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The left multi-function switch control stalk provides detent switching
for selection of the headlamp high or low

beams.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The left multi-function switch control stalk includes momentary switching
of the headlamp high beam circuits to provide an optical horn feature (sometimes referred to as
flash-to-pass), which allows the vehicle operator to momentarily flash the headlamp high beams as
an optical signalling device.
- Park Lamps - The left multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching for the park
lamps.
Rear Fog Lamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob provides
detent switching for the optional rear fog lamps. Rear fog lamps are optional only for vehicles
manufactured for certain export markets, where they are required.
- Turn Signal Control - The left multi-function switch control stalk provides both momentary
non-detent switching and detent switching with automatic cancellation for both the left and right turn
signal lamps.
The left multi-function switch also provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the
following interior lighting functions:
- Interior Lamps Defeat - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching to
defeat the illumination of all interior courtesy lamps when a door or the liftgate is opened.
- Interior Lamps On - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching to
illuminate all interior courtesy lamps simultaneously.
- Panel Lamps Dimming - The left multi-function switch control ring provides simultaneous
adjustable control of the illumination intensity of all instrument panel lighting at one of six available
illumination intensity levels.
Parade Mode - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching for a parade
mode that maximizes the illumination intensity of all instrument panel lighting for visibility when
driving in daylight with the exterior lamps turned on.
The left 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 unit must be replaced. The clockspring
(with the multi-function switch mounting bracket), the left multi-function switch (with the SCM), the
right multi-function switch and the jumper wire harness are each available for separate service
replacement.

Combination Switch: Description and Operation Left Multifunction Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The left (lighting) multi-function switch uses resistor multiplexing to control the many functions and
features it provides using a minimal number of hard wired circuits. The switch receives clean
grounds from the Steering Control Module (SCM), then provides resistor multiplexed return outputs
to the SCM to indicate the selected switch positions. The SCM then sends electronic switch status
messages over a Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus to the ElectroMechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN), and the EMIC relays electronic
switch request messages over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to other electronic
modules in the vehicle.
If the SCM detects no inputs from the left multi-function switch, it transmits an electronic Signal Not
Available (SNA) status message over the LIN data bus. The SNA status signals the EMIC to
request other electronic modules to implement a failsafe mode of operation for the exterior lighting
system. The failsafe mode automatically turns the exterior lighting ON when the ignition switch is in
the ON position, and OFF when the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
The hard wired inputs and outputs of the left multi-function switch and SCM may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, the most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose this component requires the
use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
exterior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Automatic Headlamps - The optional automatic headlamps feature is requested when the left
multi-function switch control knob is rotated to the automatic (AUTO) detent position with the
ignition switch in the ON position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left
multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN
data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the
CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Front Fog Lamps - The optional front fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The
switch control knob incorporates an internal cam mechanism that will only allow the front fog lamps
to be selected while the headlamp ON position is also selected, and will automatically move the
control knob to the front fog lamps OFF position when the control knob is rotated to deselect the
headlamps.
- Headlamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is
rotated to the headlamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The headlamp high beams are selected when the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pushed forward to the high beam selection detent position. The low beams
are selected when the control stalk is pulled rearward to the low beam selection detent position.
The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an
electronic beam select switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an
electronic beam select switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules
in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The headlamp optical horn is selected each time the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pulled fully rearward to a momentary position. The headlamp high beams will
remain illuminated for as long as the control stalk is held in this momentary position and the low
beams will be restored when the control stalk is released. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed
input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic beam select switch status message
over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic beam select switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Park Lamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is
rotated to the park lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Rear Fog Lamps - The optional rear fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position and then rotated to the rear fog
lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function
switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus
to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The switch control knob incorporates an internal cam
mechanism that will only allow the rear fog lamps to be selected while the front fog lamps ON
position is also selected, and will automatically move the control knob to the rear fog lamp OFF
position when the control knob is pushed in to deselect the front fog lamps.
- Turn Signal Control - The turn signals are requested when the left multi-function switch control
stalk is moved downward (left signal) or upward (right signal). The control stalk 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, a cancel actuator extends through an opening in the side of
the clockspring case toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is
integral to the clockspring rotor rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the
cancel

actuator when it is extended from the left multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated
during a turning maneuver, one of the 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. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and
sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC,
which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other
electronic modules in the vehicle.
INTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of the how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
interior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Interior Lamps Defeat - The interior lamps defeat feature is requested when the left multi-function
switch control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps DEFEAT detent position. The SCM reads the
resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting
switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior
lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Interior Lamps On - The interior lamps ON feature is requested when the left multi-function switch
control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Panel Lamps Dimming - The panel lamps dimming function is active only when the left
multi-function switch control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting
ON, the panel lamps dimming level is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is
rotated to any one of five minor detent positions. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Parade Mode - The PARADE (or funeral) mode is active only when the left multi-function switch
control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting ON, the PARADE
mode is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is rotated to the PARADE
mode detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function
switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to
other electronic modules in the vehicle.

Fog/Driving Lamp Switch: Description and Operation Left Multifunction Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The left (lighting) multi-function switch uses resistor multiplexing to control the many functions and
features it provides using a minimal number of hard wired circuits. The switch receives clean
grounds from the Steering Control Module (SCM), then provides resistor multiplexed return outputs
to the SCM to indicate the selected switch positions. The SCM then sends electronic switch status
messages over a Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus to the ElectroMechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN), and the EMIC relays electronic
switch request messages over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to other electronic
modules in the vehicle.
If the SCM detects no inputs from the left multi-function switch, it transmits an electronic Signal Not
Available (SNA) status message over the LIN data bus. The SNA status signals the EMIC to
request other electronic modules to implement a failsafe mode of operation for the exterior lighting
system. The failsafe mode automatically turns the exterior lighting ON when the ignition switch is in
the ON position, and OFF when the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
The hard wired inputs and outputs of the left multi-function switch and SCM may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, the most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose this component requires the
use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
exterior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Automatic Headlamps - The optional automatic headlamps feature is requested when the left
multi-function switch control knob is rotated to the automatic (AUTO) detent position with the
ignition switch in the ON position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left
multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN
data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the
CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Front Fog Lamps - The optional front fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The
switch control knob incorporates an internal cam mechanism that will only allow the front fog lamps
to be selected while the headlamp ON position is also selected, and will automatically move the
control knob to the front fog lamps OFF position when the control knob is rotated to deselect the
headlamps.
- Headlamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is
rotated to the headlamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The headlamp high beams are selected when the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pushed forward to the high beam selection detent position. The low beams
are selected when the control stalk is pulled rearward to the low beam selection detent position.
The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an
electronic beam select switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an
electronic beam select switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules
in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The headlamp optical horn is selected each time the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pulled fully rearward to a momentary position. The headlamp high beams will
remain illuminated for as long as the control stalk is held in this momentary position and the low
beams will be restored when the control stalk is released. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed
input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic beam select switch status message
over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic beam select switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Park Lamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is
rotated to the park lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Rear Fog Lamps - The optional rear fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position and then rotated to the rear fog
lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function
switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus
to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The switch control knob incorporates an internal cam
mechanism that will only allow the rear fog lamps to be selected while the front fog lamps ON
position is also selected, and will automatically move the control knob to the rear fog lamp OFF
position when the control knob is pushed in to deselect the front fog lamps.
- Turn Signal Control - The turn signals are requested when the left multi-function switch control
stalk is moved downward (left signal) or upward (right signal). The control stalk 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, a cancel actuator extends through an opening in the side of
the clockspring case toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is
integral to the clockspring rotor rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the
cancel

actuator when it is extended from the left multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated
during a turning maneuver, one of the 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. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and
sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC,
which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other
electronic modules in the vehicle.
INTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of the how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
interior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Interior Lamps Defeat - The interior lamps defeat feature is requested when the left multi-function
switch control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps DEFEAT detent position. The SCM reads the
resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting
switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior
lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Interior Lamps On - The interior lamps ON feature is requested when the left multi-function switch
control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Panel Lamps Dimming - The panel lamps dimming function is active only when the left
multi-function switch control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting
ON, the panel lamps dimming level is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is
rotated to any one of five minor detent positions. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Parade Mode - The PARADE (or funeral) mode is active only when the left multi-function switch
control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting ON, the PARADE
mode is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is rotated to the PARADE
mode detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function
switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to
other electronic modules in the vehicle.

Hazard Warning Switch: Description and Operation Hazard Warning Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The hazard switch (3) is integral to the instrument panel switch pod (1), which is secured to the
instrument panel center bezel just above the heater and air conditioner controls. A red, stencil-like
International Control and Display Symbol icon for Hazard Warning identifies the hazard switch
button. The remainder of the hazard switch circuitry is concealed within the instrument panel switch
pod.
The hazard switch button has panel lamps dimmer controlled illumination for night visibility. The
switch button latches to a slightly lowered position when the hazard warning system is activated
and the icon on the switch button will illuminate at an increased intensity while the turn signals and
turn signal indicators are flashing. The switch button unlatches to a position flush with the other
push buttons in the switch pod when the hazard warning is deactivated.
All of the circuitry and components of the hazard switch are contained within a molded black plastic
instrument panel switch pod housing. A single connector receptacle is integral to the back of the
switch pod housing. The switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The hazard switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the entire
instrument panel switch pod unit must be replaced. See: Accessories and Optional

Hazard Warning Switch: Description and Operation Hazard Warning Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The status of the hazard switch is continually monitored by the circuitry within the instrument panel
switch pod. The switch pod receives battery voltage at all times on a fused battery feed circuit, and
a path to ground at all times through the instrument panel wire harness. The only other inputs to
the switch pod consists of electronic communication with the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster
(EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) over the single wire Local Interface
Network (LIN) data bus.
Whenever the hazard switch is in its unlatched and raised position, the hazard warning system is
selected and the switch pod circuitry provides a hard wired output to the Totally Integrated Power
Module (TIPM). When the TIPM receives a hazard switch input it then controls hazard warning
system operation and flash rate by controlling battery voltage outputs through high side drivers on
the right and left, front and rear turn signal feed circuits. The TIPM also sends the appropriate
electronic messages back to the EMIC to control the illumination and flash rate of the right and left
turn signal indicators, as well as to control the click rate of an electromechanical relay soldered
onto the EMIC electronic circuit board that emulates the sound emitted by a conventional hazard
warning flasher.
The hard wired circuits for the instrument panel switch pod 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 hazard warning
switch or the electronic controls and communication between other modules and devices that
provide some features of the hazard warning system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the hazard switch or the electronic controls and communication related to
hazard warning system operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Rear Fog Lamps - The optional rear fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position and then rotated to the rear fog
lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function
switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus
to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The switch control knob incorporates an internal cam
mechanism that will only allow the rear fog lamps to be selected while the front fog lamps ON
position is also selected, and will automatically move the control knob to the rear fog lamp OFF
position when the control knob is pushed in to deselect the front fog lamps.
- Turn Signal Control - The turn signals are requested when the left multi-function switch control
stalk is moved downward (left signal) or upward (right signal). The control stalk 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, a cancel actuator extends through an opening in the side of
the clockspring case toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is
integral to the clockspring rotor rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the
cancel

actuator when it is extended from the left multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated
during a turning maneuver, one of the 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. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and
sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC,
which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other
electronic modules in the vehicle.
INTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of the how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
interior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Interior Lamps Defeat - The interior lamps defeat feature is requested when the left multi-function
switch control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps DEFEAT detent position. The SCM reads the
resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting
switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior
lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Interior Lamps On - The interior lamps ON feature is requested when the left multi-function switch
control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Panel Lamps Dimming - The panel lamps dimming function is active only when the left
multi-function switch control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting
ON, the panel lamps dimming level is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is
rotated to any one of five minor detent positions. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Parade Mode - The PARADE (or funeral) mode is active only when the left multi-function switch
control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting ON, the PARADE
mode is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is rotated to the PARADE
mode detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function
switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to
other electronic modules in the vehicle.

Headlamp Switch: Description and Operation Left Multifunction Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The left (lighting) multi-function switch is located on the left side of the steering column, just below
the steering wheel. This switch is the primary control for the interior and exterior lighting systems.
The only visible components of the switch are the control stalk (2), control knob (1) and control
sleeve (3) that extend through the steering column shrouds on the left side of the column. The
remainder of the switch including its mounting provisions, its electrical connection, and the turn
signal cancel actuator are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing (2) and controls (1) 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. A single screw (7) through a mounting tab integral to the back of the
switch housing, and a slide tab integral to the bottom of the switch housing secure the switch to the
mounting bracket integral to the clockspring (3).
The Steering Control Module (SCM) is internal to the switch housing. The switch outputs are
internally connected directly to the SCM. A single connector receptacle containing seven terminal
pins is integral to the inboard end of the switch housing and connects the right multi-function switch
(6) through a jumper wire harness (5) directly to the SCM. An integral connector receptacle on the
back of the switch housing connects the SCM to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The left multi-function switch provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the following
exterior lighting functions:
- Automatic Headlamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob
provides detent switching for the optional automatic headlamps.
- Front Fog Lamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob provides
detent switching for the optional front fog lamps.
- Headlamps - The left multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching for the
headlamps.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The left multi-function switch control stalk provides detent switching
for selection of the headlamp high or low

beams.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The left multi-function switch control stalk includes momentary switching
of the headlamp high beam circuits to provide an optical horn feature (sometimes referred to as
flash-to-pass), which allows the vehicle operator to momentarily flash the headlamp high beams as
an optical signalling device.
- Park Lamps - The left multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching for the park
lamps.
Rear Fog Lamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob provides
detent switching for the optional rear fog lamps. Rear fog lamps are optional only for vehicles
manufactured for certain export markets, where they are required.
- Turn Signal Control - The left multi-function switch control stalk provides both momentary
non-detent switching and detent switching with automatic cancellation for both the left and right turn
signal lamps.
The left multi-function switch also provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the
following interior lighting functions:
- Interior Lamps Defeat - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching to
defeat the illumination of all interior courtesy lamps when a door or the liftgate is opened.
- Interior Lamps On - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching to
illuminate all interior courtesy lamps simultaneously.
- Panel Lamps Dimming - The left multi-function switch control ring provides simultaneous
adjustable control of the illumination intensity of all instrument panel lighting at one of six available
illumination intensity levels.
Parade Mode - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching for a parade
mode that maximizes the illumination intensity of all instrument panel lighting for visibility when
driving in daylight with the exterior lamps turned on.
The left 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 unit must be replaced. The clockspring
(with the multi-function switch mounting bracket), the left multi-function switch (with the SCM), the
right multi-function switch and the jumper wire harness are each available for separate service
replacement.

Headlamp Switch: Description and Operation Left Multifunction Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The left (lighting) multi-function switch uses resistor multiplexing to control the many functions and
features it provides using a minimal number of hard wired circuits. The switch receives clean
grounds from the Steering Control Module (SCM), then provides resistor multiplexed return outputs
to the SCM to indicate the selected switch positions. The SCM then sends electronic switch status
messages over a Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus to the ElectroMechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN), and the EMIC relays electronic
switch request messages over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to other electronic
modules in the vehicle.
If the SCM detects no inputs from the left multi-function switch, it transmits an electronic Signal Not
Available (SNA) status message over the LIN data bus. The SNA status signals the EMIC to
request other electronic modules to implement a failsafe mode of operation for the exterior lighting
system. The failsafe mode automatically turns the exterior lighting ON when the ignition switch is in
the ON position, and OFF when the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
The hard wired inputs and outputs of the left multi-function switch and SCM may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, the most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose this component requires the
use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
exterior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Automatic Headlamps - The optional automatic headlamps feature is requested when the left
multi-function switch control knob is rotated to the automatic (AUTO) detent position with the
ignition switch in the ON position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left
multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN
data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the
CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Front Fog Lamps - The optional front fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The
switch control knob incorporates an internal cam mechanism that will only allow the front fog lamps
to be selected while the headlamp ON position is also selected, and will automatically move the
control knob to the front fog lamps OFF position when the control knob is rotated to deselect the
headlamps.
- Headlamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is
rotated to the headlamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The headlamp high beams are selected when the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pushed forward to the high beam selection detent position. The low beams
are selected when the control stalk is pulled rearward to the low beam selection detent position.
The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an
electronic beam select switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an
electronic beam select switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules
in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The headlamp optical horn is selected each time the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pulled fully rearward to a momentary position. The headlamp high beams will
remain illuminated for as long as the control stalk is held in this momentary position and the low
beams will be restored when the control stalk is released. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed
input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic beam select switch status message
over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic beam select switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Park Lamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is
rotated to the park lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Rear Fog Lamps - The optional rear fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position and then rotated to the rear fog
lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function
switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus
to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The switch control knob incorporates an internal cam
mechanism that will only allow the rear fog lamps to be selected while the front fog lamps ON
position is also selected, and will automatically move the control knob to the rear fog lamp OFF
position when the control knob is pushed in to deselect the front fog lamps.
- Turn Signal Control - The turn signals are requested when the left multi-function switch control
stalk is moved downward (left signal) or upward (right signal). The control stalk 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, a cancel actuator extends through an opening in the side of
the clockspring case toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is
integral to the clockspring rotor rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the
cancel

actuator when it is extended from the left multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated
during a turning maneuver, one of the 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

sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC,
which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other
electronic modules in the vehicle.
INTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of the how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
interior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Interior Lamps Defeat - The interior lamps defeat feature is requested when the left multi-function
switch control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps DEFEAT detent position. The SCM reads the
resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting
switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior
lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Interior Lamps On - The interior lamps ON feature is requested when the left multi-function switch
control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Panel Lamps Dimming - The panel lamps dimming function is active only when the left
multi-function switch control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting
ON, the panel lamps dimming level is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is
rotated to any one of five minor detent positions. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message

Combination Switch: Description and Operation Left Multifunction Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The left (lighting) multi-function switch is located on the left side of the steering column, just below
the steering wheel. This switch is the primary control for the interior and exterior lighting systems.
The only visible components of the switch are the control stalk (2), control knob (1) and control
sleeve (3) that extend through the steering column shrouds on the left side of the column. The
remainder of the switch including its mounting provisions, its electrical connection, and the turn
signal cancel actuator are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing (2) and controls (1) 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. A single screw (7) through a mounting tab integral to the back of the
switch housing, and a slide tab integral to the bottom of the switch housing secure the switch to the
mounting bracket integral to the clockspring (3).
The Steering Control Module (SCM) is internal to the switch housing. The switch outputs are
internally connected directly to the SCM. A single connector receptacle containing seven terminal
pins is integral to the inboard end of the switch housing and connects the right multi-function switch
(6) through a jumper wire harness (5) directly to the SCM. An integral connector receptacle on the
back of the switch housing connects the SCM to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The left multi-function switch provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the following
exterior lighting functions:
- Automatic Headlamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob
provides detent switching for the optional automatic headlamps.
- Front Fog Lamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob provides
detent switching for the optional front fog lamps.
- Headlamps - The left multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching for the
headlamps.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The left multi-function switch control stalk provides detent switching
for selection of the headlamp high or low

beams.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The left multi-function switch control stalk includes momentary switching
of the headlamp high beam circuits to provide an optical horn feature (sometimes referred to as
flash-to-pass), which allows the vehicle operator to momentarily flash the headlamp high beams as
an optical signalling device.
- Park Lamps - The left multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching for the park
lamps.
Rear Fog Lamps - For vehicles so equipped, the left multi-function switch control knob provides
detent switching for the optional rear fog lamps. Rear fog lamps are optional only for vehicles
manufactured for certain export markets, where they are required.
- Turn Signal Control - The left multi-function switch control stalk provides both momentary
non-detent switching and detent switching with automatic cancellation for both the left and right turn
signal lamps.
The left multi-function switch also provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the
following interior lighting functions:
- Interior Lamps Defeat - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching to
defeat the illumination of all interior courtesy lamps when a door or the liftgate is opened.
- Interior Lamps On - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching to
illuminate all interior courtesy lamps simultaneously.
- Panel Lamps Dimming - The left multi-function switch control ring provides simultaneous
adjustable control of the illumination intensity of all instrument panel lighting at one of six available
illumination intensity levels.
Parade Mode - The left multi-function switch control ring provides detent switching for a parade
mode that maximizes the illumination intensity of all instrument panel lighting for visibility when
driving in daylight with the exterior lamps turned on.
The left 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 unit must be replaced. The clockspring
(with the multi-function switch mounting bracket), the left multi-function switch (with the SCM), the
right multi-function switch and the jumper wire harness are each available for separate service
replacement.

Combination Switch: Description and Operation Left Multifunction Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The left (lighting) multi-function switch uses resistor multiplexing to control the many functions and
features it provides using a minimal number of hard wired circuits. The switch receives clean
grounds from the Steering Control Module (SCM), then provides resistor multiplexed return outputs
to the SCM to indicate the selected switch positions. The SCM then sends electronic switch status
messages over a Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus to the ElectroMechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN), and the EMIC relays electronic
switch request messages over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to other electronic
modules in the vehicle.
If the SCM detects no inputs from the left multi-function switch, it transmits an electronic Signal Not
Available (SNA) status message over the LIN data bus. The SNA status signals the EMIC to
request other electronic modules to implement a failsafe mode of operation for the exterior lighting
system. The failsafe mode automatically turns the exterior lighting ON when the ignition switch is in
the ON position, and OFF when the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
The hard wired inputs and outputs of the left multi-function switch and SCM may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, the most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose this component requires the
use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
exterior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Automatic Headlamps - The optional automatic headlamps feature is requested when the left
multi-function switch control knob is rotated to the automatic (AUTO) detent position with the
ignition switch in the ON position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left
multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN
data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the
CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Front Fog Lamps - The optional front fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The
switch control knob incorporates an internal cam mechanism that will only allow the front fog lamps
to be selected while the headlamp ON position is also selected, and will automatically move the
control knob to the front fog lamps OFF position when the control knob is rotated to deselect the
headlamps.
- Headlamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is
rotated to the headlamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The headlamp high beams are selected when the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pushed forward to the high beam selection detent position. The low beams
are selected when the control stalk is pulled rearward to the low beam selection detent position.
The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an
electronic beam select switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an
electronic beam select switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules
in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The headlamp optical horn is selected each time the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pulled fully rearward to a momentary position. The headlamp high beams will
remain illuminated for as long as the control stalk is held in this momentary position and the low
beams will be restored when the control stalk is released. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed
input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic beam select switch status message
over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic beam select switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Park Lamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is
rotated to the park lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Rear Fog Lamps - The optional rear fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch
control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position and then rotated to the rear fog
lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function
switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus
to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The switch control knob incorporates an internal cam
mechanism that will only allow the rear fog lamps to be selected while the front fog lamps ON
position is also selected, and will automatically move the control knob to the rear fog lamp OFF
position when the control knob is pushed in to deselect the front fog lamps.
- Turn Signal Control - The turn signals are requested when the left multi-function switch control
stalk is moved downward (left signal) or upward (right signal). The control stalk 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, a cancel actuator extends through an opening in the side of
the clockspring case toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is
integral to the clockspring rotor rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the
cancel

Description and Operation > Left Multifunction Switch - Description > Page 9773
actuator when it is extended from the left multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated
during a turning maneuver, one of the 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. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and
sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC,
which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other
electronic modules in the vehicle.
INTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of the how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many
interior lighting functions and features it provides:
- Interior Lamps Defeat - The interior lamps defeat feature is requested when the left multi-function
switch control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps DEFEAT detent position. The SCM reads the
resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting
switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior
lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Interior Lamps On - The interior lamps ON feature is requested when the left multi-function switch
control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor
multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Panel Lamps Dimming - The panel lamps dimming function is active only when the left
multi-function switch control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting
ON, the panel lamps dimming level is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is
rotated to any one of five minor detent positions. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from
the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over
the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message
over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Parade Mode - The PARADE (or funeral) mode is active only when the left multi-function switch
control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting ON, the PARADE
mode is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is rotated to the PARADE
mode detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function
switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the
EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to
other electronic modules in the vehicle.

Heated Glass Element Switch: Description and Operation Rear Defogger Switch - Operation
OPERATION
An amber indicator will illuminate when the rear window defogger switch is activated. When
activated, the switch sends a request signal to the totally integrated power module (TIPM) to
energize the internal EBL high side driver to provide battery current to the rear window defogger
grid lines and to the heated side view mirrors, when equipped.
NOTE: The EBL system turns off automatically after 10 minutes of initial operation. Each following
activation cycle of the EBL system will
last 5 minutes.
The EBL system will automatically turn off after an initial programmed time interval of about 10
minutes as long as the ignition switch is in RUN. After the initial time interval has expired, if the rear

Heated Glass Element Switch: Description and Operation Rear Defogger Switch - Operation
OPERATION
An amber indicator will illuminate when the rear window defogger switch is activated. When
activated, the switch sends a request signal to the totally integrated power module (TIPM) to
energize the internal EBL high side driver to provide battery current to the rear window defogger
grid lines and to the heated side view mirrors, when equipped.
NOTE: The EBL system turns off automatically after 10 minutes of initial operation. Each following
activation cycle of the EBL system will
last 5 minutes.
The EBL system will automatically turn off after an initial programmed time interval of about 10
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 5 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 is diagnosed using a scan tool See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Tests and Associated Procedures.
The rear window defogger switch and indicator cannot be adjusted or repaired. The A/C-heater
control must be replaced if the rear window defogger switch or indicator is inoperative or damaged

Power Window Switch: Testing and Inspection
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
For switch testing, remove the switch. See: Service and Repair/Power Window Switch - Removal.
Using an ohmmeter, refer to Window Switch Continuity Charts to determine if continuity is correct.
If the results are not obtained, replace the switch.
The master window switch has an Auto-Down feature. Actuation of the master switch to the second
down position will move the drivers side window completely down. The electronic switch will
automatically disconnect the motor approximately 1 second after the window bottoms out. Failure
of the electronic switch to detect stall current, will cause the switch to disconnect after
approximately 13 seconds. The auto down function can be canceled by any movement of that
switch.

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.

Windshield: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The windshield is attached to the window frame (fence) with urethane adhesive. The urethane
adhesive is applied cold and seals the surface area between the window opening and the glass.
The primer adheres the urethane adhesive to the windshield.
It is difficult to salvage a windshield during the removal operation. The windshield is part of the
structural support for the roof. The urethane bonding used to secure the windshield to the fence is
difficult to cut or clean from any surface. If the rubber seals are set in urethane, it would also be
unlikely they could be salvaged. Before removing the windshield, check the availability of the
windshield and seals from the parts supplier.

Check Valve: Description and Operation Washer Check Valve - Description
DESCRIPTION
Diaphragm-type washer system check valves are standard equipment in this vehicle. The check
valves for both the front and rear washer systems are integral to their respective washer nozzles.
The check valve for the headlamp washer system, which is optional equipment only on vehicles
manufactured for certain export markets, is integral to the headlamp washer hose tee fitting. The
headlamp washer tee fitting is located behind the front fascia near the left headlamp washer
nozzle.
Each diaphragm-type check valve consists of a molded plastic valve body where a small
diaphragm is held against the lip of an integral sump well by a small plastic piston and a coiled
spring.
The front and rear check valves cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the
washer nozzle unit must replaced. The headlamp washer system tee fitting with the integral check
valve also cannot be adjusted or repaired, and is serviced only as a unit with the headlamp washer
hose assembly.

Check Valve: Description and Operation Washer Check Valve - Operation
OPERATION
Diaphragm-type washer system check valves provide more than one function. First, they prevent
washer fluid from draining out of the washer supply hoses back to the washer reservoir. This
drain-back would result in a lengthy delay from when the washer system is activated until washer
fluid was dispensed through the washer nozzles because the washer pump would have to refill the
washer plumbing from the reservoir to the nozzle. Such a drain-back condition could also result in
water, dirt, or other outside contaminants being drawn 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. In addition,
the check valve prevents washer fluid from siphoning out through the washer nozzle after the
washer system is turned OFF.
When the washer pump pressurizes and pumps washer fluid from the reservoir through the washer
plumbing (5), the fluid pressure unseats a diaphragm (3) from over a sump well within the valve by
overriding the pressure applied to it by a piston (2) and coiled spring (1). With the diaphragm
unseated, washer fluid is allowed to flow toward the washer nozzle (4). When the washer pump
stops operating, the spring pressure on the piston seats the diaphragm over the sump well in the
valve and fluid flow in either direction within the washer plumbing is prevented.

DESCRIPTION
The headlamp washer relay (1) is a conventional International Standards Organization (ISO)
skirted relay. Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical dimensions,
current capacities, terminal patterns (2), 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 headlamp washer relay is located in a dedicated connector on a take out of the Front End
Module (FEM) wire harness, and is secured to the radiator closure panel to the left of the washer
reservoir in front of the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) in the engine compartment, near
the battery. The headlamp washer relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or
damaged, the unit must be replaced.

Headlamp Washer Motor Relay: Description and Operation Headlamp Washer Relay - Operation
OPERATION
The headlamp washer relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current input from the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) to control a high current output to the headlamp washer
pump/motor unit. 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 headlamp washer relay terminals are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
dedicated take out and connector of the Front End Module (FEM) wire harness. The inputs and
outputs of the headlamp washer relay include:
- Common Feed Terminal - The common feed terminal (30) is connected to battery current on a
fused B(+) circuit from a fuse in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) at all times.
Coil Ground Terminal - The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to battery current on a fused run
relay output circuit from a fuse in the TIPM at all times. This circuit is energized by the run relay
only while the engine is running.
- Coil Battery Terminal - The coil battery terminal (86) is connected to a low side driver output from
the TIPM on a headlamp washer relay control circuit. The TIPM controls headlamp washer system
operation through this relay connection.
- Normally Open Terminal - The normally open terminal (87) is connected through a headlamp
washer relay output circuit to the headlamp washer pump/motor unit at all times. When the relay is
energized, the normally open terminal of the relay is connected to battery current from the fuse in
the TIPM.
- Normally Closed Terminal - The normally closed terminal (87A) is not connected to any circuit in
this application, but will have battery current present whenever the headlamp washer relay coil is
not energized.
The headlamp washer 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. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
the electronic controls or the communication between modules and other devices that provide
some features of the headlamp washer system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the headlamp washer relay or the electronic controls and communication related to
headlamp washer system operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

The headlamp washer pump/motor unit (1) of vehicles so equipped is located on the top of a sump
area just above and outboard of the reversible front and rear washer pump on the rearward facing
side of the washer reservoir, on the upper left corner of the cooling module in the engine
compartment. A small permanently lubricated and sealed electric motor is coupled to the rotor-type
washer pump.
An inlet nipple (4) on the bottom of the pump housing (3) passes through a rubber grommet
seal/filter screen installed in a dedicated mounting hole of the washer reservoir. When the pump is
installed in the reservoir the quick connect outlet nipple (5) on the pump housing points toward the
left side of the vehicle and connects the unit to the headlamp washer hose.
The headlamp washer pump/motor unit is retained on the reservoir by the interference fit between
the pump inlet nipple and the grommet seal, which is a light press fit. The top of the washer pump
is also secured to the washer reservoir by a light snap fit into a receptacle molded into the reservoir
that allows for mounting of the washer pump without the use of fasteners. An integral connector
receptacle (2) on the top of the motor housing connects the unit to the vehicle electrical system
through a dedicated take out and connector of the Front End Module (FEM) wire harness.
The headlamp washer pump/motor unit cannot be repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the entire
headlamp washer pump/motor unit must be replaced.

Headlamp Washer Pump: Description and Operation Headlamp Windshield Washer Pump Operation
HEADLAMP
Headlamp washer pump/motor unit operation is completely controlled by the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM) logic circuits based upon electronic wash request and lighting request
message inputs received from the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as
the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. The EMIC
monitors electronic washer switch and lighting switch status messages received over the Local
Interface Network (LIN) data bus from the Steering Control Module (SCM). The SCM monitors
analog and resistor multiplexed inputs from the front washer switch circuitry contained within the
right (wiper) multi-function switch and the exterior lighting switch circuitry of the left (lighting)
multi-function switch to determine the proper washer switch and lighting switch status messages to
send.
The headlamp washer relay control coil operates on battery voltage received from the run relay, so
it is only functional while the engine is running. In addition, the TIPM will only allow the headlamp
washers to operate when the headlamps are turned ON. The TIPM uses a low side driver to
energize or de-energize the headlamp washer relay which, in turn, controls the operation of the
headlamp washer pump/motor unit.
The hard wired circuits and components of the headlamp washer pump/motor unit 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 headlamp washer pump/motor or the electronic controls or communication between other
modules and devices that provide some features of the headlamp washer system. The most
reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the headlamp washer pump/motor unit or the
electronic controls and communication related to headlamp washer pump/motor unit operation
requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

HEADLAMP
Vehicles equipped with the optional headlamp washer system have two fixed headlamp washer
nozzles (1), one secured to the front fascia beneath each front lamp unit.
Each nozzle includes two orifices (1) to ensure complete headlamp lens coverage by the fluid
streams emitted from the nozzle. The fixed body of the molded plastic nozzle is located below the
front fascia. An integral mounting bezel (2) is secured by two integral latch features (3) within the
mounting hole in the front fascia. A large diameter high pressure washer fluid supply hose from the
dedicated headlamp washer pump/motor unit is routed to the nozzle, where it is secured by a quick
connect fitting to the nipple fitting (4) at the base of the nozzle.
The headlamp washer nozzle cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the
entire nozzle and mounting bezel must be replaced with a new unit.

HEADLAMP
When the headlamp washer pump/motor unit is activated, pressure builds within the high pressure
hoses to each headlamp washer nozzle. Driven by this pressure, a control valve integral to each
nozzle allows a precisely metered quantity of washer fluid to be sprayed in several high pressure
streams against the lenses of both front lamp units. When the pressure drops, the control valve
closes and the nozzle spray ceases.
The headlamp washer system only operates when the engine is running and the headlamps are
turned ON. When those conditions have been met, the headlamp washer system operates
whenever the front (windshield) washer system is activated.

DESCRIPTION
The headlamp washer relay (1) is a conventional International Standards Organization (ISO)
skirted relay. Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical dimensions,
current capacities, terminal patterns (2), 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 headlamp washer relay is located in a dedicated connector on a take out of the Front End
Module (FEM) wire harness, and is secured to the radiator closure panel to the left of the washer
reservoir in front of the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) in the engine compartment, near
the battery. The headlamp washer relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or
damaged, the unit must be replaced.

Headlamp Washer Motor Relay: Description and Operation Headlamp Washer Relay - Operation
OPERATION
The headlamp washer relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current input from the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) to control a high current output to the headlamp washer
pump/motor unit. 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 headlamp washer relay terminals are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
dedicated take out and connector of the Front End Module (FEM) wire harness. The inputs and
outputs of the headlamp washer relay include:
- Common Feed Terminal - The common feed terminal (30) is connected to battery current on a
fused B(+) circuit from a fuse in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) at all times.
Coil Ground Terminal - The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to battery current on a fused run
relay output circuit from a fuse in the TIPM at all times. This circuit is energized by the run relay
only while the engine is running.
- Coil Battery Terminal - The coil battery terminal (86) is connected to a low side driver output from
the TIPM on a headlamp washer relay control circuit. The TIPM controls headlamp washer system
operation through this relay connection.
- Normally Open Terminal - The normally open terminal (87) is connected through a headlamp
washer relay output circuit to the headlamp washer pump/motor unit at all times. When the relay is
energized, the normally open terminal of the relay is connected to battery current from the fuse in
the TIPM.
- Normally Closed Terminal - The normally closed terminal (87A) is not connected to any circuit in
this application, but will have battery current present whenever the headlamp washer relay coil is
not energized.
The headlamp washer 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. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
the electronic controls or the communication between modules and other devices that provide
some features of the headlamp washer system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the headlamp washer relay or the electronic controls and communication related to
headlamp washer system operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

DESCRIPTION
The washer fluid level switch (3) is a two-pin conductivity sensor with no moving parts mounted on
the rearward facing side of the washer reservoir on the upper left corner of the cooling module on
the Front End Module (FEM). Only the molded plastic switch mounting flange and the integral
connector receptacle (4) are visible when the switch is installed in the reservoir.
A short nipple formation (1) extends from the inner surface of the switch mounting flange, and a
barb on the nipple is pressed through a rubber grommet seal installed in the mounting hole of the
reservoir. Two over-molded pins or electrodes (2) extend from the back of the nipple formation. The
switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of
the FEM wire harness.
The washer fluid level switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the switch
must be replaced.

Washer Fluid Level Switch: Description and Operation Washer Fluid Level Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The washer fluid level switch uses fluid conductivity to monitor the level of the washer fluid in the
washer reservoir. Electricity is conducted between the two switch pins or electrodes only when they
are immersed in the washer fluid, which closes the switch circuit. When the fluid level in the washer
reservoir falls below the pins, electrical current cannot be conducted and the switch becomes an
open circuit, which signals a low fluid condition.
In order to prevent an electrical charge from accumulating in the electrical leads of the switch, the
switch receives current that is pulsed from the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) located in
the engine compartment near the battery. The TIPM 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 request message to the ElectroMechanical 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 is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take
out and connector of the Front End Module (FEM) wire harness. The switch is connected in series
between a sensor return circuit and the washer fluid switch sense input to the TIPM.
The washer fluid level switch and the hard wired circuits between the switch and the TIPM 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 indicator or the electronic controls or communication between other modules
and devices that provide some features of the washer system. The most reliable, efficient, and
accurate means to diagnose the washer fluid level indicator or the electronic controls and
communication related to washer fluid level switch operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan

Wiper Switch: Description and Operation Right Multifunction Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The right (wiper) multi-function switch is located on the right side of the steering column, just below
the steering wheel. This switch is the primary control for the front and rear wiper and washer
systems. The only visible components of the switch are the control stalk (1), control knob (2) and
control sleeve (3) that extend through the steering column shrouds on the right side of the column.
The remainder of the switch including its mounting provisions and electrical connection are
concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing and controls (6) 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. A single screw (7) through a mounting tab integral to the back of the
switch housing, and a slide tab integral to the bottom of the switch housing secure the switch to the
mounting bracket integral to the clockspring (3). A single connector receptacle containing seven
terminal pins is integral to the inboard end of the switch housing and is connected by a jumper wire
harness (5) directly to the Steering Control Module (SCM), which is internal to the housing (2) of
the left multi-function switch (1).
The right (wiper) multi-function switch provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the
following wiper and washer system functions:
- Continuous Front Wipers - The right multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching
for two continuous front wipe modes, low speed or high speed.
- Intermittent Front Wipers - The right multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching
for the intermittent front wipe mode with five minor detent delay interval positions.
- Front Wiper Mist Mode - The right multi-function switch control stalk includes momentary
switching of the front wiper motor low speed circuit to provide a mist mode features (sometimes
referred to as pulse wipe), which allows the vehicle operator to momentarily operate the front
wipers for one or more complete cycles.

Wiper Switch: Description and Operation Right Multifunction Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The right (wiper) multi-function switch uses a combination of resistor multiplexing and conventional
analog switching to control the many functions and features it provides. The switch receives a
clean ground from the Steering Control Module (SCM), then provides resistor multiplexed and
conventional analog return outputs to the SCM to indicate the selected switch positions. The SCM
then sends electronic switch status messages over a Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN),
and the EMIC relays electronic wiper and washer switch request messages over the Controller
Area Network (CAN) data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
If the SCM detects no inputs from the right multi-function switch, it transmits an electronic Signal
Not Available (SNA) status message over the LIN data bus. The SNA status signals the EMIC to
request other electronic modules to implement a failsafe mode of operation for the front and rear
wiper systems. The failsafe mode will maintain the last selected front and rear wiper system
operation for the remainder of the current ignition cycle, after which both wiper systems will default
to OFF.
The right 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. However, the most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose this component
requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
Following are descriptions of how the right multi-function switch is operated to control the many
front and rear wiper and washer system functions and features it provides:
- Front Wiper Control - The control knob on the end of the right multi-function switch control stalk is
rotated to one of the two continuous wiper detents, to one of five intermittent wiper detents, or to
the OFF position to select the front wiper mode. The SCM reads the input from the right
multi-function switch and sends electronic wiper switch status messages over the LIN data bus to
the EMIC, which relays an electronic wiper switch request message over the CAN data bus to other
electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Front Wiper Mist Mode - The front wiper mist mode is requested when the right multi-function
switch control stalk is depressed downward towards the floor to a momentary MIST position. The
front wiper motor will continue to operate, one complete cycle at a time, for as long as the control
stalk is held in this position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the right
multi-function switch and sends an electronic wiper switch status message over the LIN data bus to
the EMIC, which relays an electronic wiper switch request message over the CAN data bus to other
electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Front Washer Control - The right multi-function switch control stalk is pulled rearward towards the
steering wheel to a momentary WASH position to activate the washer pump/motor in the front
washer mode. The washer pump/motor will continue to operate for as long as the control stalk is
held in this position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the right multi-function
switch and sends an electronic washer switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC,
which relays an electronic washer switch request message over the CAN data bus to other
electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Rear Wiper Control - The rear wiper mode is selected when the right multi-function switch control
sleeve is rotated to the fixed interval intermittent rear wipe detent position, or the OFF detent
position. The SCM reads the input from the right multi-function switch and sends an electronic
wiper switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic wiper
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Rear Washer Control - The right multi-function switch control sleeve is rotated to one of two
momentary WASH positions, either fully forward or fully rearward, to activate the washer
pump/motor in the rear washer mode. The washer pump/motor will continue to operate in the rear
washer mode until the control sleeve is released. The SCM reads the input from the right
multi-function switch and sends an electronic washer switch status message over the LIN data bus
to the EMIC, which relays an electronic washer switch request message over the CAN data bus to
other electronic modules in the vehicle.

Washer Fluid Level Switch: Description and Operation Washer Fluid Level Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The washer fluid level switch uses fluid conductivity to monitor the level of the washer fluid in the
washer reservoir. Electricity is conducted between the two switch pins or electrodes only when they
are immersed in the washer fluid, which closes the switch circuit. When the fluid level in the washer
reservoir falls below the pins, electrical current cannot be conducted and the switch becomes an
open circuit, which signals a low fluid condition.
In order to prevent an electrical charge from accumulating in the electrical leads of the switch, the
switch receives current that is pulsed from the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) located in
the engine compartment near the battery. The TIPM 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 request message to the ElectroMechanical 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 is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take
out and connector of the Front End Module (FEM) wire harness. The switch is connected in series
between a sensor return circuit and the washer fluid switch sense input to the TIPM.
The washer fluid level switch and the hard wired circuits between the switch and the TIPM 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 indicator or the electronic controls or communication between other modules
and devices that provide some features of the washer system. The most reliable, efficient, and
accurate means to diagnose the washer fluid level indicator 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 Pump: Description and Operation Front and Rear Windshield Washer Pump Description
FRONT AND REAR
The washer pump/motor unit is located on the top of a sump area on the rearward facing side of
the washer reservoir, which is located on the upper left corner of the cooling module in the engine
compartment. 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 motor/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, which is a light press fit. The top of the washer pump is also
secured to the washer reservoir by the use of a snap fit between the motor housing and a
receptacle molded into the reservoir that allows for mounting of the washer pump without the use of
fasteners. 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 Front End Module
(FEM) wire harness.
Service replacement washer pumps may also include a snap post (2) at the top of the pump motor
housing, but this feature is not used in this application. The washer pump/motor unit cannot be
repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the entire washer pump/motor unit must be replaced.

Windshield Washer Pump: Description and Operation Front and Rear Windshield Washer Pump Operation
FRONT AND REAR
The washer pump/motor unit features a reversible electric motor. The direction of the motor is
controlled by hard wired outputs from the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). 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 TIPM 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 ElectroMechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). The EMIC receives
electronic washer switch status messages over a Local Interface Network (LIN) bus connection
from the Steering Control Module (SCM) within the left (lighting) multi-function switch housing. The
SCM monitors hard wired analog and multiplex inputs from the washer switch circuitry contained
within the right (wiper) multi-function switch to determine the proper electronic messages to send.
Washer fluid is drawn through the pump inlet nipple 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 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 TIPM 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 (1) is mounted on the upper left corner of the cooling
module on the back of the Front End Module (FEM) carrier (also known as the radiator closure).
The filler neck for the reservoir extends upward just past the upper radiator closure member and
through the upper radiator seal. This reservoir is constructed of opaque black plastic, which does
not allow the fluid level to be inspected without removing the reservoir filler cap (2).
The bright yellow plastic filler cap with a rubber seal and an International Control and Display
Symbol icon for Windshield Washer molded into it snaps over the open end of the washer reservoir
filler neck. The cap hinges on and is secured to an integral molded hook formation on the top of the
reservoir just to the left of the filler neck when it is removed for inspecting or adjusting the fluid level
in the reservoir.
The washer reservoir is secured to the cooling module through integral mounting brackets at the
top on the inboard and outboard sides by two screws. In addition, integral mounting tab provisions
on the bottom of the washer reservoir engage through slots or slotted loops integral to the cooling
module to secure the lower end of the reservoir.
There is a dedicated mounting hole in the top of the sump area on the rearward facing side of the
reservoir with a receptacle provided for the mounting of the reversible washer/pump motor unit (3)
without the use of fasteners. A separate dedicated mounting hole is provided in the rearward facing
side of the reservoir for the washer fluid level switch (4). An integral molded routing trough for the
washer hose and washer pump/motor unit wiring routes the hose and wiring bundle from the
washer pump to the outboard side of the reservoir.
A unique reservoir is used for vehicles manufactured for export markets with the optional headlamp
washer system. This reservoir has a dedicated sump area and mounting receptacle for the high
pressure headlamp washer pump (5) near the outboard side of the reservoir, directly above the
washer fluid level switch location. The location and mounting provisions for this reservoir are the
same as for those vehicles without the headlamp washer system.
A washer reservoir cannot be repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the unit must be replaced.
The reversible washer pump/motor unit, the washer fluid level switch, the headlamp washer
pump/motor unit, their rubber grommet seals, as well as the reservoir filler cap are each available
for individual service replacement.

OPERATION
The washer fluid reservoir provides a secure, on-vehicle storage location for a large reserve of
washer fluid for operation of the front, rear and, if equipped, headlamp washer systems. The
washer reservoir filler cap provides a clearly marked and readily accessible point at 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 far enough above the washer pump inlet nipple
in the sump area of the reservoir so that there will be adequate warning to the vehicle operator that
the washer fluid level is low, well before the washer system will no longer operate.

Windshield Washer Spray Nozzle: Description and Operation Washer Nozzle - Operation
REAR
The rear washer nozzle is designed to dispense washer fluid into the wiper pattern area on the
outside of the liftgate glass. Pressurized washer fluid is fed to the nozzle from the washer reservoir
by the washer pump/motor through a single hose, which is attached to a barbed nipple on the back
of the nozzle. A fluidic matrix within the 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 in the nozzle prevents washer fluid from draining out of the washer supply
hose back to the washer reservoir. This drain-back would result in a lengthy delay after the washer
switch is actuated until washer fluid was dispensed through the nozzle because the washer pump
would have to refill the washer plumbing from the reservoir to the nozzle. 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. In addition, the check valve prevents washer fluid from siphoning
through the washer nozzle after the washer system is turned OFF.
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 by
overriding the spring pressure applied to it by a piston. With the diaphragm unseated, washer fluid
is allowed to flow toward the nozzle orifice. When the washer pump stops operating, the spring
pressure on the piston seats the diaphragm over the sump well in the nozzle and fluid flow in either
direction within the washer plumbing is prevented.

The front wiper arms are the rigid members located between the wiper pivots that protrude from the
cowl plenum cover/grille panel near the base of the windshield and the wiper blades on the
windshield glass. These wiper arms feature an over-center hinge that allows easy access to the
windshield glass for cleaning.
The wiper arm has a die cast metal pivot end (4) with a large tapered mounting hole (5) at one end.
A molded black plastic cap fits over the wiper arm retaining nut to conceal the nut and this
mounting hole following wiper arm installation.
The wide end of a tapered, stamped steel channel (3) hinges on and is secured with a hinge pin (6)
to the blade end of the wiper arm pivot end. One end of a long, rigid, stamped steel strap (2) with a
small hole near its pivot end is riveted and crimped within the narrow end of the stamped steel
channel. The tip of the wiper blade end of this strap is bent back under itself to form a small hook
(1). Concealed within the stamped steel channel, one end of a long tension spring is engaged with
a wire hook on the underside of the die cast pivot end, while the other end of the spring is hooked
through the small hole in the steel strap. The entire wiper arm has a satin black finish applied to all
of its visible surfaces.
The right and left wiper arms are unique and are not interchangeable. A wiper arm cannot be
adjusted or repaired. If damaged or ineffective, the entire wiper arm unit must be replaced.

The rear wiper motor is concealed within the liftgate, below the liftgate glass and behind the liftgate
inner trim panel. The end of the motor output shaft (1) that extends through the liftgate outer panel
to drive the rear wiper arm and blade is the only visible component of the rear wiper motor. A
rubber bezel and grommet is engaged within the output shaft hole of the liftgate outer panel and
seals the output shaft where it passes through the panel. An integral connector receptacle (4)
connects the rear wiper motor to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out and
connector of the liftgate wire harness. The rear wiper motor consists of the following major
components:
- Bracket (5) - The rear wiper motor bracket consists of a stamped metal mounting plate for the
wiper motor that is secured with screws to the wiper motor transmission housing, and through three
rubber isolators (2) to the liftgate inner panel.
- Motor (3) - The single-speed permanent magnet rear wiper motor is secured with screws to the
rear wiper motor transmission, which is secured to the motor bracket with screws. The wiper motor
includes the integral transmission, the motor output shaft, an automatic resetting circuit breaker,
and the rear wiper motor park switch that parks the rear wiper blade near the base of the liftgate
glass.
The rear wiper motor cannot be adjusted or repaired. If any component of the motor is ineffective or
damaged, the entire rear wiper motor unit must be replaced. The output shaft bezel and grommet
unit is available for individual service replacement.

Wiper Motor: Description and Operation Wiper Motor - Operation
REAR
The rear wiper motor operation is controlled by the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM), which
uses intelligent, high current, self-protected high side switches to control rear wiper system
operation for energizing or de-energizing the rear wiper motor. The TIPM uses internal
programming and electronic messages received over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus
from the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN) to provide the appropriate rear wiper and washer system operating modes. The EMIC
uses electronic messages received from the Steering Control Module (SCM) over a Local
Interconnect Network (LIN) data bus to determine when to send electronic rear wiper system
requests to the TIPM.
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 electronic control logic
circuitry of the TIPM, depending upon the position of the rear wiper blade on the liftgate glass. This
input allows the electronic logic circuits of the TIPM to control all of the electronic features of rear
wiper motor operation and to keep the motor energized long enough to complete its current wipe
cycle and park the wiper blade after the wiper system or the ignition switch has been turned OFF.
The rear wiper motor is grounded at all times through a take out in the body wire harness that is
secured to a remote ground location. 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 will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the electronic controls
or communication between other modules and devices that provide some features of the rear wiper
and washer system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the rear wiper
system or the electronic controls and communication related to rear wiper motor operation requires
the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Wiper Motor Linkage: Description and Operation Wiper Arm Linkage - Description
DESCRIPTION
The front wiper linkage module is secured by three screws through three rubber grommet-type
insulators to two brackets and weld nuts on the cowl plenum panel and one bracket and weld nut
on the driver side strut tower. The module 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 that protrude through dedicated openings in the cowl plenum cover/grille
panel to drive the wiper arms and blades and are the only visible components of the front wiper
linkage module. The front wiper linkage module consists of the following major components:
Bracket - The front wiper module bracket consists of a long tubular steel main member that has a
die cast pivot bracket formation near each end where the two wiper pivots are secured. A stamped
steel mounting bracket for the wiper motor is secured near the center of the main member. Each of
the two wiper pivot brackets secures the module to the cowl plenum with a screw through a rubber
insulator (4), and a third rubber insulator on the motor bracket secures the module with a screw in
the bracket on the driver side strut tower.
- Crank Arm - The front wiper motor crank arm (6) is a stamped steel unit with a 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 - Two stamped steel drive links (3) connect the wiper motor crank arm to the wiper pivot
lever arms. The right side drive link has a plastic socket-type bushing on each end. The left side
drive link has a plastic socket-type bushing on one end, and a plastic sleeve-type bushing on the
other end. The socket-type bushing on one end of each drive link is snap-fit over the ball stud on
the lever arm of its respective pivot. The left side drive link sleeve-type bushing end is then fit over
the motor crank arm ball stud, and the other socket-type bushing of the right side drive link is
snap-fit over the exposed end of the wiper motor crank arm ball stud.
- Motor - The front wiper motor (1) features a transmission housing from which the wiper motor
output shaft exits, and has three mounting bosses with internal threads to which the motor is
mounted to the center wiper linkage module bracket with screws. is secured with three screws near
the center of the main tubular member of the wiper module bracket. 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 automatic resetting circuit breaker. A
short pigtail wire and connector (5) connect the wiper motor to the vehicle electrical system through
a dedicated take out and connector of the headlamp and dash wire harness.
- Pivots - The two front wiper pivots (2) are secured within the die cast pivot brackets on the
outboard ends of the wiper linkage module main member. The lever arms that extend from the
center of the pivot shafts each have a ball stud on their end. The upper end of each pivot shaft
where the wiper arms will be fastened each has a finely splined and tapered driver with a threaded
stud extending from the top. The lower ends of the pivot shafts are installed through permanently
lubricated bushings in the pivot brackets.
The front wiper linkage module cannot be adjusted or repaired. The wiper motor is available for
separate service replacement. If any other component of the linkage module is ineffective or
damaged, the entire wiper linkage module unit must be replaced.

Wiper Motor Linkage: Description and Operation Wiper Arm Linkage - Operation
OPERATION
The front wiper linkage module operation is controlled by the battery current inputs received by the
wiper motor from the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). 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 hard wired inputs and outputs of the 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 electronic controls
or communication between other modules and devices that provide some features of the wiper
system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the wiper system or the
electronic controls and communication related to wiper motor operation requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Wiper Switch: Description and Operation Right Multifunction Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The right (wiper) multi-function switch is located on the right side of the steering column, just below
the steering wheel. This switch is the primary control for the front and rear wiper and washer
systems. The only visible components of the switch are the control stalk (1), control knob (2) and
control sleeve (3) that extend through the steering column shrouds on the right side of the column.
The remainder of the switch including its mounting provisions and electrical connection are
concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing and controls (6) 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. A single screw (7) through a mounting tab integral to the back of the
switch housing, and a slide tab integral to the bottom of the switch housing secure the switch to the
mounting bracket integral to the clockspring (3). A single connector receptacle containing seven
terminal pins is integral to the inboard end of the switch housing and is connected by a jumper wire
harness (5) directly to the Steering Control Module (SCM), which is internal to the housing (2) of
the left multi-function switch (1).
The right (wiper) multi-function switch provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the
following wiper and washer system functions:
- Continuous Front Wipers - The right multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching
for two continuous front wipe modes, low speed or high speed.
- Intermittent Front Wipers - The right multi-function switch control knob provides detent switching
for the intermittent front wipe mode with five minor detent delay interval positions.
- Front Wiper Mist Mode - The right multi-function switch control stalk includes momentary
switching of the front wiper motor low speed circuit to provide a mist mode features (sometimes
referred to as pulse wipe), which allows the vehicle operator to momentarily operate the front
wipers for one or more complete cycles.

Wiper Switch: Description and Operation Right Multifunction Switch - Operation
OPERATION
The right (wiper) multi-function switch uses a combination of resistor multiplexing and conventional
analog switching to control the many functions and features it provides. The switch receives a
clean ground from the Steering Control Module (SCM), then provides resistor multiplexed and
conventional analog return outputs to the SCM to indicate the selected switch positions. The SCM
then sends electronic switch status messages over a Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN),
and the EMIC relays electronic wiper and washer switch request messages over the Controller
Area Network (CAN) data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
If the SCM detects no inputs from the right multi-function switch, it transmits an electronic Signal
Not Available (SNA) status message over the LIN data bus. The SNA status signals the EMIC to
request other electronic modules to implement a failsafe mode of operation for the front and rear
wiper systems. The failsafe mode will maintain the last selected front and rear wiper system
operation for the remainder of the current ignition cycle, after which both wiper systems will default
to OFF.
The right 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. However, the most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose this component
requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
Following are descriptions of how the right multi-function switch is operated to control the many
front and rear wiper and washer system functions and features it provides:
- Front Wiper Control - The control knob on the end of the right multi-function switch control stalk is
rotated to one of the two continuous wiper detents, to one of five intermittent wiper detents, or to
the OFF position to select the front wiper mode. The SCM reads the input from the right
multi-function switch and sends electronic wiper switch status messages over the LIN data bus to
the EMIC, which relays an electronic wiper switch request message over the CAN data bus to other
electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Front Wiper Mist Mode - The front wiper mist mode is requested when the right multi-function
switch control stalk is depressed downward towards the floor to a momentary MIST position. The
front wiper motor will continue to operate, one complete cycle at a time, for as long as the control
stalk is held in this position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the right
multi-function switch and sends an electronic wiper switch status message over the LIN data bus to
the EMIC, which relays an electronic wiper switch request message over the CAN data bus to other
electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Front Washer Control - The right multi-function switch control stalk is pulled rearward towards the
steering wheel to a momentary WASH position to activate the washer pump/motor in the front
washer mode. The washer pump/motor will continue to operate for as long as the control stalk is
held in this position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the right multi-function
switch and sends an electronic washer switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC,
which relays an electronic washer switch request message over the CAN data bus to other
electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Rear Wiper Control - The rear wiper mode is selected when the right multi-function switch control
sleeve is rotated to the fixed interval intermittent rear wipe detent position, or the OFF detent
position. The SCM reads the input from the right multi-function switch and sends an electronic
wiper switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic wiper
switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Rear Washer Control - The right multi-function switch control sleeve is rotated to one of two
momentary WASH positions, either fully forward or fully rearward, to activate the washer
pump/motor in the rear washer mode. The washer pump/motor will continue to operate in the rear
washer mode until the control sleeve is released. The SCM reads the input from the right
multi-function switch and sends an electronic washer switch status message over the LIN data bus
to the EMIC, which relays an electronic washer switch request message over the CAN data bus to
other electronic modules in the vehicle.

RIGHT MULTI-FUNCTION 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 battery negative
(ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing
further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper
precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
The right 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.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the
Steering Control Module (SCM) or the electronic controls or communication between other
modules and devices that provide some features of the front and rear wiper and washer systems.
The most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose the SCM or the electronic controls and
communication related to SCM operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.
1. Remove the right multi-function switch from the integral mounting bracket on the right side of the
clockspring. See: Service and Repair/Right
Multifunction Switch - Removal.
2. Using an ohmmeter, test the resistance between the terminals of the switch as shown in the
three Function Tests tables. For all functions except
those of the control stalk the values should be either less than 100 ohms (switch CLOSED) or
greater than 1 megohm (switch OPEN).
