Keyless Entry Module: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
When a PCM and the SKREEM are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in
order:
1. Program the new PCM.
2. Program the new SKREEM.
3. Replace all ignition keys and program them to the new SKREEM.
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) is sometimes referred to as the Wireless Control
Module (WCM). The SKREEM/WCM is the primary component of the Sentry Key Immobilizer
System (SKIS). It is also the receiver for the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system and the Tire
Pressure Monitor (TPM) system. The SKREEM/WCM is located on the steering column, around the
ignition lock cylinder housing and is concealed beneath the steering column shrouds. The molded
black plastic housing for the SKREEM/WCM has an integral molded plastic halo-like antenna ring
(3) that extends from one side. When the SKREEM/WCM is properly installed, the antenna ring is
oriented around the ignition lock cylinder housing.
A single connector (4) is located next to the antenna ring on the SKREEM/WCM housing (3). A
molded plastic mounting tab (2) on the SKREEM/WCM housing secures the unit to the steering
column. The SKREEM/WCM is connected to the vehicle electrical system through the instrument
panel wire harness.
The SKREEM/WCM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If faulty or damaged, the entire SKREEM unit
must be replaced.

Keyless Entry Module: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM), sometimes referred to as the Wireless Control
Module (WCM), contains a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver and a microprocessor. The
SKREEM/WCM transmits RF signals to, and receives RF signals from the Sentry Key transponder
through a tuned antenna enclosed within the molded plastic antenna ring integral to the
SKREEM/WCM housing. If this antenna ring is not mounted properly around the ignition lock
cylinder housing, communication problems between the SKREEM/WCM and the transponder may
arise. These communication problems will result in Sentry Key transponder-related faults.
The SKREEM also serves as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) RF receiver and, if the vehicle is so
equipped, the receiver for the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system. The SKREEM/WCM
communicates over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus with the Electromechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN), the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM), and/or the diagnostic scan tool.
The SKREEM/WCM retains in memory the ID numbers of any Sentry Key transponder that is
programmed into it. A maximum of eight Sentry Key transponders can be programmed into the
SKREEM/WCM. For added system security, each SKREEM/WCM is programmed with a unique
Secret Key code. This code is stored in memory, sent over the CAN data bus to the PCM, and is
encoded to the transponder of every Sentry Key that is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM.
Therefore, the Secret Key code is a common element that is found in every component of the
Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS). Another security code, called a PIN, is used to gain access
to the SKREEM/WCM Secured Access Mode. The Secured Access Mode is required during
service to perform the SKIS initialization and Sentry Key transponder programming procedures.
The SKREEM/WCM also stores the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in its memory, which it
learns through a CAN data bus message from the PCM during SKIS initialization.
NOTE: After a SKREEM/WCM is replaced, the ignition/transponder keys need to be programmed
to the new SKREEM/WCM. Follow the directions on the diagnostic scan tool. The transponder key
for the SKREES/SKIM and the RKE will both be programmed during this operation. There is no
need to program the fob of the key for RKE functionality once the transponder key is programmed
to the new SKREEM/WCM.
In the event that a SKREEM/WCM replacement is required, the Secret Key code can be
transferred to the new SKREEM/WCM from the PCM using the diagnostic scan tool and the SKIS
initialization procedure. Proper completion of the SKIS initialization will allow the existing Sentry
Keys to be programmed into the new SKREEM/WCM so that new keys will not be required. In the
event that the original Secret Key code cannot be recovered, SKREEM/WCM replacement will also
require new Sentry Keys. The diagnostic scan tool will alert the technician during the SKIS
initialization procedure if new Sentry Keys are required.
When the ignition switch is turned to the On position, the SKREEM/WCM transmits an RF signal to
the transponder in the ignition key. The SKREEM/WCM then waits for an RF signal response from
the transponder. If the response received identifies the key as valid, the SKREEM/WCM sends a
valid key message to the PCM over the CAN data bus. If the response received identifies the key
as invalid or if no response is received from the key transponder, the SKREEM/WCM sends an
invalid key message to the PCM. The PCM will enable or disable engine operation based upon the
status of the SKREEM/WCM messages. It is important to note that the default condition in the PCM
is an invalid key; therefore, if no message is received from the SKREEM/WCM by the PCM, the
engine will be disabled and the vehicle immobilized after two seconds of running.
The SKREEM/WCM also sends security indicator status messages to the EMIC/CCN over the CAN
data bus to tell the EMIC/CCN how to operate the security indicator. The security indicator status
message from the SKREEM/WCM tells the EMIC/CCN to turn the indicator on for about three
seconds each time the ignition switch is turned to the On position as a bulb test. After completion of
the bulb test, the SKREEM/WCM sends security indicator status messages to the EMIC/CCN to
turn the indicator off, turn the indicator on, or to flash the indicator on and off. If the security
indicator flashes or stays on solid after the bulb test, it signifies a SKIS fault. If the SKREEM/WCM
detects a system malfunction and/or the SKIS has become inoperative, the security indicator will
stay on solid. If the SKREEM/WCM detects an invalid key or if a key transponder-related fault
exists, the security indicator will flash. If the vehicle is equipped with the Customer Learn
transponder programming feature, the SKREEM/WCM will also send messages to the EMIC/CCN
to flash the security indicator whenever the Customer Learn programming mode is being utilized.
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the On position, and will
store fault information in the form of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in SKREEM/WCM memory if
a system malfunction is detected. The SKREEM/WCM can be diagnosed, and any stored DTC can
be retrieved using a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

engine will be disabled and the vehicle immobilized after two seconds of running.
The SKREEM/WCM also sends security indicator status messages to the EMIC/CCN over the CAN
data bus to tell the EMIC/CCN how to operate the security indicator. The security indicator status
message from the SKREEM/WCM tells the EMIC/CCN to turn the indicator on for about three
seconds each time the ignition switch is turned to the On position as a bulb test. After completion of
the bulb test, the SKREEM/WCM sends security indicator status messages to the EMIC/CCN to
turn the indicator off, turn the indicator on, or to flash the indicator on and off. If the security
indicator flashes or stays on solid after the bulb test, it signifies a SKIS fault. If the SKREEM/WCM
detects a system malfunction and/or the SKIS has become inoperative, the security indicator will
stay on solid. If the SKREEM/WCM detects an invalid key or if a key transponder-related fault
exists, the security indicator will flash. If the vehicle is equipped with the Customer Learn
transponder programming feature, the SKREEM/WCM will also send messages to the EMIC/CCN
to flash the security indicator whenever the Customer Learn programming mode is being utilized.
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the On position, and will
store fault information in the form of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in SKREEM/WCM memory if
a system malfunction is detected. The SKREEM/WCM can be diagnosed, and any stored DTC can
be retrieved using a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Seat Heater Control Module: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat module (2) is located under the left front seat. It has a single electrical connector
(1) and a push pin style retainer that secures it to the seat pan. The module can be accessed from
under the front left seat with the seat in the full back position.
The heated seat module is a microprocessor designed to use the Local Interface Network (LIN)
data bus messages from the instrument cluster also known as the Cabin 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 > Description > Page 64
Seat Heater Control Module: Description and Operation 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 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.
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.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation 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 or Electronic Stability Program (ESP) 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.
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 on the inboard side of the right body frame rail behind the strut
tower.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The primary functions of the Antilock Brake Module (ABM) are to:
- Monitor the Antilock Brake System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Program (ESP) 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 ABS or traction control mode.
- Modulates fluid pressure to the wheel brakes to control vehicle yaw rate in ESP mode.
- Store diagnostic information.
- Provide communication to the scan tool while in diagnostic mode.
- Illuminate the amber ABS indicator in the instrument cluster.
- Illuminate the yellow ESP/BAS indicator in the instrument cluster (if equipped).
The ABM constantly monitors the ABS and ESP (if equipped) for proper operation. If the ABM
detects a fault, it will turn on the amber ABS and yellow ESP/BAS indicators and disable the ABS
or ESP if so equipped. The normal base braking system will remain operational at that time.
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 solenoid 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.

Daytime Running Lamp Relay: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles built for use in Canada, and also available as an option on vehicles for sale in the U.S.,
are equipped with a Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) system. All the exterior lighting messages come
from Steering Control Module (SCM) or left multi-function switch on Local Interconnect Network
(LIN) data bus and goes to the Cab Compartment Node (CCN), then the CCN sends out a
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus message to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM)
for each lighting function according to the request from left multi-function switch. Then the TIPM will
turn ON/OFF the requested output. The DRL function is controlled by TIPM. Daytime running
lamps are High beam lamps at lower intensity.

SUBJECT: No Engine Crank Or No Engine Start Due To Electronic Lockup Of The WCM /
SKREEM
OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves the replacement of the Wireless Control Module (WCM), and if
equipped, the replacement of the Electric Steering Column Lock (ELV). The WCM is also referred
to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM).
MODELS:
2007 - 2008 (DR/DH/D1/DC/DM) Ram Truck (1500/2500/3500/4500/5500)
2007 - 2008 (JK) Wrangler

2006 - 2008 (PT) Chrysler PT Cruiser
NOTE:
This bulletin applies to vehicles built on or before May 05, 2008 (MDH 0505XX).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION: The customer will experience a no engine crank AND a no engine start
condition. Also, the remote keyless entry (RKE) system will not operate. This condition may be due
to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) from the ignition key into the Wireless Control Module (WCM),
causing the WCM to electronically lockup. This condition may occur more frequently in dry and/or
cold weather conditions where a sufficient electrostatic charge is more easily produced. This
condition is corrected by the replacement of the WCM.
DIAGNOSIS:
1. With the condition present (i.e. the vehicle in the no crank / no start condition), connect the
StarSCAN(R) scan tool to the vehicle.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON position, and power up the StarSCAN(R).
3. If the WCM is electronically locked up, the StarSCAN(R) will display the WCM as being "off bus".
4. If the no crank / no start condition is present, and the WCM is "off bus", then reset the WCM by
temporarily removing the IOD fuse (with the key out of the ignition switch), wait for 10 seconds and
then reinstall the IOD fuse.
5. With the IOD fuse reset having been performed, verify that the vehicle will now crank, start, and
run.
6. If the condition is temporarily corrected by performing the above steps, and if the part number of
the WCM is earlier than the part number of the WCM listed in the part reference table in the
Service Bulletin Parts Required Section below, then perform the Repair Procedure.

PARTS REQUIRED:
NOTE:
The part numbers listed in the following part reference table are to be used as A GUIDE to help
determine if the WCM, that is currently in the vehicle, may require replacement. If it is determined
that the WCM requires replacement, then ALWAYS REFER TO THE PARTS MANUAL to
determine the correct WCM for the specific vehicle in question. In some earlier model years, the
WCM may rule (supersede) to one of the part numbers listed in the table. ALWAYS REFER TO
THE PARTS MANUAL (not the part reference table) to determine the correct part number ruling
(supercedence / substitution). MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE CORRECT WCM IS ORDERED THE
FIRST TIME FOR THE SPECIFIC VEHICLE IN QUESTION.

REPAIR PROCEDURE:
NOTE:
If the vehicle (a JS model vehicle in certain International markets) is equipped with an Electric
Steering Column Lock (ELV), then the WCM and the ELV must be replaced. Replace the WCM
and then the ELV. Next program the WCM and at least one (1) ignition key BEFORE programming
the ELV. IMPORTANT: Not following this repair process correctly will cause the new ELV to fail.
NOTE:
Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder. This will move the shaft lock module locking
bolt to the unlocked position. LEAVE the key in the lock cylinder while the shaft lock module is
being removed.
1. If vehicle is equipped with a Steering Shaft Lock Module (JS - Avenger I Stratus - some
International Markets), then the Shaft Lock Module will require replacement. From the Service Info
tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Security Information > Module, Shaft Lock >
Removal and Installation.
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, the ignition
key must have been inserted into the ignition lock cylinder. 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 key in the ignition lock cylinder until shaft lock module removal 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.
2. Replace the WCM/SKREEM. Refer to TechCONNECT for detailed service information. From the
Service Info tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Service Information > Module,
Sentry Key Remote Entry > Removal and Installation.
NOTE:
Obtain the vehicle PIN number prior to programming WCM/SKREEM or ELV.
NOTE:
If during the following steps the PIN number is properly entered but is rejected, then reenter the
PIN number again until it is accepted.
3. After both the WCM/SKREEM and the ELV (if equipped) have been replaced, Program the
WCM/SKREEM as follows:
a. Turn the ignition key to the ON position, (Engine Off)
b. Connect the scan tool (StarSCAN(R)) to the data link connector and turn the ignition to the RUN
position, (engine off).
c. Select "ECU View."

2006 - 2008 (PT) Chrysler PT Cruiser
NOTE:
This bulletin applies to vehicles built on or before May 05, 2008 (MDH 0505XX).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION: The customer will experience a no engine crank AND a no engine start
condition. Also, the remote keyless entry (RKE) system will not operate. This condition may be due
to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) from the ignition key into the Wireless Control Module (WCM),
causing the WCM to electronically lockup. This condition may occur more frequently in dry and/or
cold weather conditions where a sufficient electrostatic charge is more easily produced. This
condition is corrected by the replacement of the WCM.
DIAGNOSIS:
1. With the condition present (i.e. the vehicle in the no crank / no start condition), connect the
StarSCAN(R) scan tool to the vehicle.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON position, and power up the StarSCAN(R).
3. If the WCM is electronically locked up, the StarSCAN(R) will display the WCM as being "off bus".
4. If the no crank / no start condition is present, and the WCM is "off bus", then reset the WCM by
temporarily removing the IOD fuse (with the key out of the ignition switch), wait for 10 seconds and
then reinstall the IOD fuse.
5. With the IOD fuse reset having been performed, verify that the vehicle will now crank, start, and
run.
6. If the condition is temporarily corrected by performing the above steps, and if the part number of
the WCM is earlier than the part number of the WCM listed in the part reference table in the
Service Bulletin Parts Required Section below, then perform the Repair Procedure.

the ELV. IMPORTANT: Not following this repair process correctly will cause the new ELV to fail.
NOTE:
Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder. This will move the shaft lock module locking
bolt to the unlocked position. LEAVE the key in the lock cylinder while the shaft lock module is
being removed.
1. If vehicle is equipped with a Steering Shaft Lock Module (JS - Avenger I Stratus - some
International Markets), then the Shaft Lock Module will require replacement. From the Service Info
tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Security Information > Module, Shaft Lock >
Removal and Installation.
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, the ignition
key must have been inserted into the ignition lock cylinder. 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 key in the ignition lock cylinder until shaft lock module removal 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.
2. Replace the WCM/SKREEM. Refer to TechCONNECT for detailed service information. From the
Service Info tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Service Information > Module,
Sentry Key Remote Entry > Removal and Installation.
NOTE:
Obtain the vehicle PIN number prior to programming WCM/SKREEM or ELV.
NOTE:
If during the following steps the PIN number is properly entered but is rejected, then reenter the
PIN number again until it is accepted.
3. After both the WCM/SKREEM and the ELV (if equipped) have been replaced, Program the
WCM/SKREEM as follows:
a. Turn the ignition key to the ON position, (Engine Off)
b. Connect the scan tool (StarSCAN(R)) to the data link connector and turn the ignition to the RUN
position, (engine off).
c. Select "ECU View."
d. Scroll down and select "WCM" in the list of modules.
e. Select "Misc. Functions."
f. Scroll to "WCM Replaced."
g. Press "Start".
h. Press "Next".
i. Select "Show Keyboard".
j. Enter the vehicle PIN number.
k. Select "Next".
l. Verify PIN is correct.
m. Select "Next".
n. Follow on-screen prompts to complete WCM function programing for Tire Pressure Monitoring
(TPM) and so on.
0. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position. Wait 30 seconds.

Power Distribution Module: Description and Operation Totally Integrated Power Module
Description
DESCRIPTION
All of the electrical current distributed throughout this vehicle is directed through the standard
equipment Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) (1). The molded plastic TIPM housing is
located in the left front corner of the engine compartment, just behind the air cleaner housing and
the battery. The TIPM housing has a molded plastic cover. The TIPM cover is easily removed for
service access and has a convenient fuse and relay layout label affixed to the inside surface of the
cover to ensure proper component identification.
The TIPM housing is secured to the left inner fender well an indexing pin and one screw. All of the
TIPM outputs are through the integral engine compartment wire harness.
Operation
OPERATION
All of the current from the generator cable connection goes to the battery through a 10 gauge
fusible link that is secured with a nut to the positive battery terminal at the starter. Internal
connection of all the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) circuits is accomplished by an
intricate network of hard wiring and bus bars. Refer to Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit
diagrams.
The fusible link, fuses and relays are available for service replacement. The TIPM unit cannot be
repaired and is only serviced as a unit with the engine compartment wire harness. If the TIPM is
inoperative or damaged, the engine compartment wire harness assembly must be replaced.

Power Distribution Module: Description and Operation Module-Inverter
Description
DESCRIPTION
The inverter module is located in the instrument panel. The A/C outlet is mounted in the center
console. The inverter module provides A/C power for user accessories. The inverter converts the
12 Volt DC from the battery system to a 110 Volt AC output.
Operation
OPERATION
The AC power outlet receives 12 volts from the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) and
passes it as an enable signal to the inverter module. The inverter module also receives 12 volts via
the TIPM and inverts this to a 110 volt AC output. The enable signal received from the power outlet
enables the inverter to convert the received voltage and pass it to the power outlet to power
external devices.

NOTE:
The model years and vehicles above must be equipped (optional) with Sentry Key Theft Deterrent
System (sales code GXX) for this bulletin to apply.
DISCUSSION:
ALL LISTED VEHICLES EXCEPT SEBRING COUPE/STRATUS COUPE (ST), CROSSFIRE, AND
SPRINTER.
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is replaced on vehicles equipped with the Sentry
Key(TM) Theft Deterrent System, it must be initialized to properly function with the anti-theft
module. This is accomplished at a Chrysler Group Dealer by using the DRBIII(R) or StarSCAN(TM)
Scan Tool to enter a PIN number.
When the PIN number is not available from the vehicle owner or a Chrysler Group Scan Tool(s) is
not available this can be accomplished by writing the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) into the
PCM using an after-market scan tool with a "VIN Write Function".
More information is available from the scan tool manufacturer or the Equipment & Tool Institute.
NOTE:
After performing this procedure with an after-market scan tool on vehicles equipped with Chrysler
Group's Next Generation Controller (NGC), Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) "P0633 - SKIM
SECRET KEY DATA NOT STORED IN PCM" will be set. This DTC will not effect vehicle or system
performance and cannot be erased.
SEBRING COUPE/STRATUS COUPE (ST)
Initializing the PCM on these vehicles requires the use of a DaimlerChrysler scan tool (DRBIII(R)),
J1962 MMC Cable (Special Tool CH7010), and the BLUE 5T22 PCMCIA
Diagnostic Card (Special Tool CH8425). This equipment is available for lease from
DaimlerChrysler for short periods of time. A credit card deposit will be required.
CROSSFIRE AND SPRINTER.
Initializing the PCM on these vehicles requires the use of a DaimlerChrysler scan tool (DRBIII(R)),
Multiplexer cable box (Special Tool CH 9043), and the ORANGE Crossfire PCMCIA card (Special
Tool CH9044) or the GREEN Sprinter PCMCIA card (Special Tool CH9087). This equipment is
available for lease from DaimlerChrysler for short periods of time. A credit card deposit will be
required.
The DRBIII(R) will be shipped within 24 hours to your location by an overnight delivery service.
When the DRBIII(R) is returned, your credit card will be charged the lease price.
2007 GRAND CHEROKEE W/ 3.0L TD/2005 - 2007 LIBERTY w/2.8L TD/2007 RAM TRUCK/RAM
CAB CHASSIS w 6.7L TD AND 2004-2006 SPRINTER w 2.7L TD ENGINES.
For the above models equipped with Turbo Diesel Engines, the fuel injector "Quantity Values" must
be physically read from each injector and the values written to the ECU with an appropriate scan
tool.
**PCM INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE CROSSFIRE/SPRINTER**:

Depending on the situation, there are two methods for initializing the PCM/ECM. Either Automatic
Replacement or Service Replacement must be performed. Automatic Replacement uploads the
data from the old controller and downloads data to the new controller when the part numbers are
identical between the replacement and replaced controller. Service Replacement is used when part
numbers are not identical or when the part number is not recognized by the DRBIII(R).

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

IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as follows:
- In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the instrument panel area are C200 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.
- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.
- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.
- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
In addition, S001-S099 numbers are located in the engine compartment.
- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.
LOCATIONS
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
DESCRIPTION - SECTION IDENTIFICATION AND INFORMATION
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual sections. If a component is most likely found in a
particular group, it will be shown complete (all wires, connectors, and pins) within that group. For
example, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be found in Powertrain Management, so it is
shown there complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some
associated wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Splice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.
Connector Pin-Outs 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
STANDARD PROCEDURE - 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.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 305
- 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.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Description
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 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 separately from the
ground pins.
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).

Powertrain Control Module
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
The PCM receives input signals from various switches and sensors that are referred to as PCM
Inputs. Based on these inputs, the PCM adjusts various engine and vehicle operations through
devices that are referred to as PCM Outputs.
NOTE: PCM Inputs:
- Air Conditioning Controls
- Battery Voltage
- Brake Switch
- Camshaft Position Sensor
- Clutch Upstop Switch
- Clutch Interlock
- Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
- Fuel Level Sensor (Bus message)
- Ignition Switch
- Intake Air Temperature Sensor
- Knock Sensor
- Evaporative System Integrity Monitor
- Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
- Oil Pressure Switch
- Oxygen Sensors
- Power Steering Pressure Switch
- Speed Control Switches
- Vehicle Speed Sensor (MTX-equipped models)
NOTE: PCM Outputs:

- Fuel Injectors
- Generator Field
- Ignition Coils
- Malfunction Indicator (Check Engine) Lamp (Bus Message)
- Manifold Flow Valve
- Oxygen Sensors Heater Controls
- Variable Valve Timing
- Vehicle Speed (Manual Transmission)
Based on inputs it receives, the PCM adjusts fuel injector pulse width, idle speed, ignition spark
advance, ignition coil dwell and EVAP canister purge operation. The PCM also determines the
appropriate transmission shift schedule and shift points, depending on the present operating
conditions and driver demand. The PCM regulates the cooling fan, air conditioning and speed
control systems. The PCM changes generator charge rate by adjusting the
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))

generator field. The PCM also performs diagnostics.
The PCM adjusts injector pulse width (air-fuel ratio) based on the following inputs.
- Battery voltage
- Coolant temperature
- Exhaust gas content (oxygen sensor)
- Engine speed (crankshaft position sensor)
- Intake air temperature
- Manifold absolute pressure
- Throttle position
The PCM adjusts ignition timing based on the following inputs.
- Coolant temperature
- Engine speed (crankshaft position sensor)
- Knock sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure
- Throttle position
- Transmission gear selection (park/neutral switch)
- Intake air temperature
The PCM also adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control motor based on the following
inputs.
- Air conditioning sense
- Battery voltage
- Brake switch
- Coolant temperature
- Engine speed (crankshaft position sensor)
- Engine run time
- Manifold absolute pressure
- Power steering pressure switch
- Throttle position

- Vehicle distance (speed)
The camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position sensor signals are sent to the PCM. If the
PCM does not receive the signal within approximately 1 second of engine cranking, it deactivates
the fuel pump. When these are deactivated, power is shut off to the fuel injectors, ignition coils,
oxygen sensor heating elements and fuel pump.
The PCM contains a voltage converter that changes battery voltage to a regulated 5 volt direct
current to power the camshaft position sensor, crankshaft position sensor, manifold absolute
pressure sensor, throttle position sensor, A/C pressure switch, A/C pressure transducer, and
vehicle speed sensor.

PCM/ECM/SKREEM Programming
Engine Control Module: Testing and Inspection PCM/ECM/SKREEM Programming
PCM/ECM/SKREEM PROGRAMMING
NOTE: Before replacing the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Engine Control Module (ECM),
be certain to check the related component/circuit integrity for failures not detected due to a double
fault in the circuit. Most PCM/ECM driver/control circuit failures are caused by internal component
failures (i.e. relays and solenoids) and shorted circuits (i.e. pull-ups, drivers, and switched circuits).
These failures are difficult to detect when a double fault has occurred and only one DTC has been
set.
When a PCM, or ECM, and the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) on vehicles equipped
with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the
following steps in order:
1. Program the new PCM or ECM.
2. Program the new SKREEM (also sometimes referred to as the Wireless Control Module or
WCM).
3. Replace all ignition keys and program them into the new SKREEM/WCM.
PROGRAMMING THE SKREEM
The SKIS Secret Key is an ID code that is unique to each SKREEM/WCM. This code is
programmed and stored in the SKREEM/WCM, the PCM/ECM, and each ignition key transponder
chip. When the PCM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret Key into
the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in the
diagnostic scan tool for "PCM Replaced" or "WCM Replaced" under "Miscellaneous Functions" for
the "WCM/Wireless Control Module" menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: If the PCM/ECM and the SKREEM/WCM are replaced at the same time, all vehicle ignition
keys will need to be replaced and new keys programmed into the new SKREEM/WCM.
NOTE: Programming the PCM/ECM or SKREEM is done using a diagnostic scan tool and a PIN to
enter secure access mode. If eight attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an
incorrect PIN, secure access mode will be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn
the ignition to the RUN position for one hour then enter the correct PIN. (Ensure all accessories are
turned OFF. Also monitor the battery state and connect a battery charger if necessary).
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE menu item.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any
other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
- Programming Not Attempted - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status and
there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- Programming Key Failed (Possible Used Key From Wrong Vehicle) - SKREEM is unable to
program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is faulty.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.
- 8 Keys Already Learned, Programming Not Done - The SKREEM transponder ID memory is full.
- Learned Key In Ignition - The ID for the ignition key transponder currently in the ignition lock
cylinder is already programmed into SKREEM memory.

Engine Control Module: Testing and Inspection 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.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) (4) is sometimes referred to as the Airbag Control
Module (ACM). The ORC is mounted on the tunnel floor pan in front of the transmission floor
shifter.
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) is secured with three nuts to a stamped steel mounting
bracket welded onto the top of the floor panel transmission tunnel beneath the instrument panel
floor console. Concealed within a hollow in the center of the die cast aluminum ORC housing is the
electronic circuitry of the ORC which includes a microprocessor, an electronic impact sensor, an
electronic safing sensor, and an energy storage capacitor. A stamped metal cover plate is secured
to the bottom of the ORC housing with four screws to enclose and protect the internal electronic
circuitry and components.
An arrow printed on the label on the top of the ORC housing provides a visual verification of the
proper orientation of the unit, and should always be pointed toward the front of the vehicle. The
ORC housing has integral mounting flanges on three of the four corners. Two electrical connectors
exit the rearward facing side of the ORC housing. These connect the ORC to the vehicle electrical
system, one from the instrument panel wire harness and the second from the body wire harness.
The impact sensor and safing sensor internal to the ORC are calibrated for the specific vehicle, and
are only serviced as a unit with the ORC. In addition, there are unique versions of the ORC for
vehicles with or without the optional side airbags. The ORC cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if
damaged or ineffective, it must be replaced.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), sometimes referred to as the
Airbag Control Module (ACM), contains the supplemental restraint system logic circuits and
controls all of the supplemental restraint system 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 Electromechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN), and for supplemental
restraint system 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 supplemental restraint system 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/CCN over the CAN data bus to turn ON the airbag indicator. An active fault only remains for
the duration of the fault, or in some cases for the duration of the current ignition switch cycle, while
a stored fault causes a DTC to be stored in memory by the ORC. For some DTC's, 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.
On vehicles equipped with the Occupant Classification System (OCS), the ORC communicates
with the Occupant Classification Module (OCM) over the CAN data bus. The ORC will internally
disable the passenger airbag and seat belt tensioner deployment circuits if the OCM detects that
the passenger front seat is unoccupied or that it is occupied by a load that is inappropriate for an
airbag deployment. The ORC also provides a control output to the passenger airbag ON/OFF
indicator through the passenger airbag indicator driver circuit. The OCM notifies the ORC when it
has detected a monitored system fault and stored a DTC in its memory for any ineffective OCS
component or circuit, then the ORC sets a DTC and controls the airbag indicator operation
accordingly.
The ORC receives battery current through two circuits; an ignition switch output (run) circuit and an
ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. The ORC receives ground through a ground circuit of the
instrument panel wire harness. 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 supplemental restraint components for up to one second following a battery disconnect or
failure. The purpose of the capacitor is to provide backup supplemental restraint system protection
in case there is a loss of battery current supply to the ORC during an impact.
Two sensors are contained within the ORC, an electronic impact sensor and a safing sensor. The
ORC also monitors inputs from two remote front impact sensors located on the back of the right
and left vertical members of the radiator support near the front of the vehicle. The electronic impact
sensors are accelerometers that sense the rate of vehicle deceleration, which provides verification
of the direction and severity of an impact. On vehicles equipped with optional side airbags, the
ORC also monitors inputs from an internal rollover sensor and four additional remote impact
sensors located on the left and right inner B-pillars and C-pillars to control deployment of the side
airbag units.
The safing sensor is an electronic accelerometer sensor within the ORC that provides an additional
logic input to the ORC microprocessor. The safing sensor is used to verify the need for a
supplemental restraint deployment by detecting impact energy of a lesser magnitude than that of
the primary electronic impact sensors, and must exceed a safing threshold in order for the airbags
to deploy. Vehicles equipped with optional side airbags, feature a second safing sensor within the
ORC to provide confirmation to the ORC microprocessor of side impact forces. This second safing
sensor is a bi-directional unit that detects impact forces from either side of the vehicle.
Pre-programmed decision algorithms in the ORC microprocessor determine when the deceleration
rate as signaled by the impact sensors and the safing sensors indicate an impact that is severe
enough to require supplemental restraint system protection and, based upon the severity of the
monitored impact, determines the level of front airbag deployment force required for each front
seating position. When the programmed conditions are met, the ORC sends the proper electrical
signals to deploy the dual multistage front airbags at the programmed force levels, the front seat
belt tensioners and, if the vehicle is so equipped, either side airbag unit. For vehicles equipped with
the OCS, the passenger front airbag and seat belt tensioner will be deployed by the ORC only if
enabled by the OCM messages (passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator OFF) at the time of the
impact.
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.

Seat Occupant Classification Module - Air Bag: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Occupant Classification Module (OCM) (1) is secured to the passenger side outboard front
seat track riser. Concealed within a hollow in the center of the molded plastic OCM housing is a
microprocessor and the other electronic circuitry of the module. The module housing is sealed to
enclose and protect the internal electronic circuitry.
The OCM and all of the other components of the Occupant Classification System (OCS) including
the passenger side front seat, the seat weight sensors, the passenger or driver seat track position
sensor and the seat adjusters, cushion, back, frame, foam, springs, and wiring harness are a
factory-calibrated and assembled unit. Any time any one of these components is removed or
replaced for any reason, the OCM must be re-calibrated using a diagnostic scan tool, the Occupant
Classification Seat Weight special tool 9077, and the Occupant Classification System Verification
Test. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic procedures.
The OCM cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if damaged or faulty, it must be replaced. The OCM
software is flash programmable. A non-calibrated OCM is available for separate service
replacement.

Seat Occupant Classification Module - Air Bag: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Occupant Classification Module (OCM) contains the Occupant
Classification System (OCS) logic circuits. The OCM uses On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can
communicate with other electronic modules in the vehicle as well as with the diagnostic scan tool
using the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. This method of communication is also used for
OCS diagnosis and testing through the 16-way Data Link Connector (DLC) located on the driver
side lower edge of the instrument panel.
The OCM provides voltage to the four seat weight sensors located on each of the four corners of
the passenger side front seat, and to the seat track position sensors located on the passenger and
driver front seat tracks. The OCM then monitors return inputs from each of the sensors on
dedicated hard wired data communication circuits. The seat weight sensor input allows the OCM to
determine whether the passenger front seat is occupied and the relative size of the occupant by
providing a weight-sensing reference to the load on the seat. The seat track position sensor
provides an additional logic input to the OCM microprocessor that allows it to determine the
position of the front seat passenger and driver relative to the front airbags.
Pre-programmed decision algorithms and OCS calibration allow the OCM microprocessor to
determine when passenger airbag protection is appropriate based upon the seat load as signaled
by the seat weight sensors. When the programmed conditions are met, the OCM sends the proper
electronic occupant classification messages over the CAN data bus to the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC), and the ORC enables or disables the deployment circuits for the passenger front
supplemental restraints. On vehicles so equipped, the ORC also provides a control output for the
passenger airbag on/off indicator in the instrument panel based upon the electronic occupant
classification messages it receives from the OCM.
The OCM also sends electronic driver and passenger seat track position messages to the ORC
over the CAN data bus. The ORC uses the seat track position data as an additional logic input for
determining the force level with which to deploy the multistage front airbags.
The OCM microprocessor continuously monitors all of the OCS electrical circuits and components
to determine the system readiness. If the OCM detects a monitored system fault, it sets an active
and stored Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and sends the appropriate electronic messages to the
ORC over the CAN data bus. Then the ORC sets a DTC and sends messages to control the airbag
indicator operation accordingly. An active fault only remains for the duration of the fault, or in some
cases for the duration of the current ignition switch cycle, while a stored fault causes a DTC to be
stored in memory by the OCM and the ORC. For some DTC's, if a fault does not recur for a
number of ignition cycles, the OCM will automatically erase the stored DTC. For other internal
faults, the stored DTC is latched forever.
The OCM receives battery current on a fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit through a fuse
in the Junction Block (JB). The OCM receives ground through a ground circuit of the body wire
harness. These connections allow the OCM to be operational whenever the ignition switch is in the
Start or On positions.
To diagnose the OCM and all its inputs, outputs and related circuits, use a diagnostic scan tool and
the appropriate diagnostic information.

Steering Column Control Module: Description and Operation 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. 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
- Right Multi-Function Switch

Steering Column Control Module: Description and Operation 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.

Tire Pressure Monitor Receiver / Transponder: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A transponder, sometimes referred to as a trigger module, is located in three of the four wheel
wells (behind the wheelhouse splash shields) of a vehicle equipped with Premium TPM. These
transponders are used to provide the Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as
the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM), with the location of the tire pressure sensors on
the vehicle. A fourth transponder is not necessary in the remaining wheel well due to the
process-of-elimination theory. Once the system knows the location of the first three sensors it
assumes the location of the fourth tire pressure sensor. On this vehicle, there is a transponder
located in the left front, left rear, and right rear wheelhouse. There is not a transponder located in
the right front wheelhouse.

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

Remote Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
These switches are resistor multiplexed units that are hard-wired to the Cab Compartment Node
(CCN) through the clockspring. The CCN sends the proper messages on the Controller Area
Network (CAN) data bus network to the radio receiver. For diagnosis of the CCN or the CAN data
bus, the use of a scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual are recommended. For
more information on the operation of the remote radio switch controls, refer to the owner's manual
in the vehicle glove box.

Seat Heater Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat switches are located in the center stack (1) of the instrument panel. The switches
are located on the outer edges of the accessory switch bank (2). If either of the switches is
damaged or inoperative the complete accessory switch bank assembly must be replaced.
When either of the heated seat switches are depressed a switch status message is sent to the Cab
Compartment Node (CCN) or instrument cluster 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
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.
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 accessory switch
bank assembly must be replaced.

Seat Heater Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The heated seat switches 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 Cabin 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 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 (2) is a combination push-button and rocker switch module mounted in
the Courtesy/Reading Lamp 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

Sunroof / Moonroof Switch: Description and Operation 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

DESCRIPTION
The ESP Off Switch is part of the accessory switch bank module located in the center bezel on the
instrument panel above the transmission gear shifter. 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.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The antilock brake system uses two-wire wheel speed sensors, known as active wheel speed
sensors. The sensors use an electronic principle known as magnetoresistive 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 (3) is attached to a mounting boss on each front knuckle (4). The
encoder is an integral part of the hub and bearing.
WSS air gaps are not adjustable.
Operation
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.

On all-wheel-drive vehicles, the rear wheel speed sensor head (1) is secured to the rear hub and
bearing (2) by a spring-loaded clip on the rear of the assembly. The encoder is integral to the hub
and bearing assembly. The encoder is serviced as part of the rear hub and bearing.
On front-wheel-drive vehicles, the rear wheel speed sensor head (3) is mounted to the rear of the
hub and bearing by a screw. The encoder is integral to the hub and bearing assembly. The
encoder is are serviced as part of the rear hub and bearing.
The WSS air gaps are not adjustable.

Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable resistor type sensor. It is mounted to the lower front
fascia behind the radiator grille and in front of the engine compartment.
The ambient temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if inoperative or damaged, it
must be replaced.

Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Description and Operation 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 or 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 compass/temperature display unit then displays the proper ambient temperature.

Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Testing and Inspection
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The thermometer function is supported by the ambient temperature sensor, the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM), the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus circuit, and the instrument
cluster or Cab Compartment Node (CCN) compass/temperature display unit.
If the display shows "O" (-45° C (-49° F)) or "SC" (60° C (140° F)), there is an OPEN or SHORT
CIRCUIT that must be repaired.
The ambient temperature sensor circuit can also be diagnosed using the following Sensor Test,
and Sensor Circuit Test. If the temperature sensor and circuit are confirmed to be OK, but the
temperature display is inoperative or incorrect, replace the instrument cluster or CCN assembly.
SENSOR TESTING
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor wire harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance of the ambient temperature sensor. At room temperature (approx. 20° C
(68° F)), the sensor resistance should be
between 9-11 Kilohms (9000-11000 ohms). The sensor resistance should read between these two
values. If OK, refer to the appropriate diagnostic information to continue diagnosis of the Totally
Integrated Power Module (TIPM), the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus circuit, and the
instrument cluster or CCN. If not OK, replace the inoperative ambient temperature sensor.

Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation 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.

Switch > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 754
Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation 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.
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 found
inoperative or damaged.

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

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation 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. The
PCM/ECM is programmed to respond to this and other sensor inputs by controlling the operation of
the swashplate 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
swashplate to nearly a zero degree angle (low compressor displacement) when high side pressure
rises above 3130 kPa (454 psi) and re-adjusts the swashplate 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 swashplate angle if the high side pressure drops below 200
kPa (29 psi) and will increase the swashplate 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.
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.
The A/C pressure transducer cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if found
inoperative or damaged.

Brake Light Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The stop lamp switch (3) is located under the instrument panel, at the brake pedal (2). It has three
internal switches controlling various functions of the vehicle. It's main function is to control
operation of the vehicle's brake lamps. Other functions include speed control deactivation, brake
sense for the antilock brake system and brake sense for the brake transmission shift interlock.
CAUTION: The switch can only be adjusted once. That is during initial installation of the switch. If
the switch is not adjusted properly or has been removed for some service, a new switch must be
installed and adjusted.

Brake Light Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When the brake pedal is pressed, the plunger on the outside of the stop lamp switch extends
outward. This action opens or closes the contacts of the three switches inside the stop lamp switch.
With the brake pedal pressed down (plunger extended), the switch for terminals 1 and 2 is closed
completing the circuit. The switch for terminals 3 and 4 is open and so is the switch for 5 and 6.
When the brake pedal is released (plunger pushed in), the three switches assume the opposite
positions. The switch for terminals 1 and 2 is now open while the other two switches are now
closed, completing their circuits.

NOTE: Before proceeding with this diagnostic test, verify the adjustment lever on the back of the
switch is in the adjusted position. If the lever is in the non-adjusted (diagonal) position it may have
never been adjusted.
If the electrical circuit has been tested and the stop lamp switch is suspected of being damaged or
inoperative, it can be tested using the following method.
1. Remove the switch from the vehicle.
2. With the switch in the released position (plunger extended), use an ohmmeter to test each of the
three internal switches as shown. You should
achieve the results as listed in the figure.
3. Gently push the plunger on the stop lamp switch in until it stops.
4. With the switch in this depressed position (plunger pushed in), use an ohmmeter to test each of
the three internal switches as shown. You should
achieve the results as listed in the figure.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Lighting and Horns > Brake Light Switch >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Page 804
If you do not achieve the results as listed in both figures, the switch must be replaced.
If the switch is found to be operating properly, it may be misadjusted. Do not reinstall the switch,
replace it.
CAUTION: The switch can only be adjusted once. That is during initial installation of the switch. If
the switch is not adjusted properly or has been removed for any reason, a new switch must be
installed and adjusted.

Combination Switch: Description and Operation 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 then sends electronic
switch status messages over the Local Interconnect Network (LIN) to the Cab Compartment Node
(CCN) and then the CCN sends messages over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) other electronic modules in the vehicle.
For lighting and wiper function it sends the messages over the LIN bus to the CCN and the CCN
puts them out on the CAN bus to the other modules. The left switch has the microprocessor for all
communication to the TIPM. The SCCM is composed of a clockspring and left lighting switch and a
right wiper switch. The TIPM, controls the lighting and wiper functions.
The left multi-function switch can be diagnosed using LIN based diagnostic tools and methods.
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:
- 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 left multi-function switch
sends an electronic switch status message over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data
bus to the 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 left multi-function switch sends an electronic
switch status message over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data bus to the other
electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The headlamp beams are selected when the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pushed forward. The left multi-function switch sends an electronic switch
status message over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data bus to the other electronic
modules in the vehicle. Each time the control stalk is actuated in this manner, the headlamp beams
are toggled from the current selection to the opposite selection.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The headlamp optical horn is selected each time the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pulled rearward to a momentary position just short of the beam selection
detent position. The headlamp high beams will remain illuminated for as long as the control stalk is
held in this momentary position and the previously selected beams will be restored when the
control stalk is released. The left multi-function switch sends an electronic switch status message
over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data bus to the 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 left multi-function switch sends an electronic
switch status message over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data bus to the 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 left multi-function switch sends an electronic switch status message
over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data bus to the 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 "lane change" position in each direction that provides turn signals only
until the control stalk is released. When the control stalk is moved to a detent turn signal switch
position, a cancel actuator extends toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel
cam that is integral to the clockspring, rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact
the cancel actuator when it is extended from the left multi-function switch. When the steering wheel
is rotated during a turning maneuver, one of the two turn signal cancel cam lobes will contact the
turn signal cancel actuator. The cancel actuator latches against the cancel cam rotation in the
direction opposite that which is signaled. If the left turn signal detent is selected, the lobes of the
cancel cam will ratchet past the cancel actuator when the steering wheel is rotated to the left, but
will unlatch the cancel actuator as the steering wheel rotates to the right and returns to center,
which will cancel the turn signal event and release the control stalk from the detent so it returns to
the neutral Off position. The left multi-function switch sends an electronic switch status message
over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data bus to the 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 left multi-function
switch sends an electronic switch status message over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Lighting and Horns > Combination Switch >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 815
CAN data bus to the 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 left multi-function switch
sends an electronic switch status message over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data
bus to the 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 left multi-function switch sends an electronic
switch status message over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data bus to the 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 left multi-function switch sends an electronic switch status message over the LIN bus
to the CCN, then over the CAN data bus to the other electronic modules in the vehicle.

Hazard Warning Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The hazard switch features a push-push type latching push button. When the push button is in its
latched (lowered) position the switch contacts are open, and when the push button is in its
unlatched (raised) position the switch contacts are closed.
The hazard switch receives a ground on one terminal and provides a ground signal output to the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) ) whenever the switch contacts are closed. The TIPM
responds to this input by controlling a battery voltage output and the flash rate for each of the right
and left turn signal lamps, then sends an electronic hazard switch status message over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to the Electromechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also
known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) 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 hazard 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.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The PCM sends approximately 5 volts to the Hall-effect sensor. This voltage is required to operate
the Hall-effect chip and the electronics inside the sensor. The input to the PCM occurs on a 5 volt
output reference circuit. A ground for the sensor is provided through the sensor return circuit. The
PCM identifies camshaft position by registering the change from 5 to 0 volts, as signaled from the
camshaft position sensor.
The PCM determines fuel injection synchronization and cylinder identification from inputs provided
by the camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position sensor. From the two inputs, the PCM
determines crankshaft position.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft position sensor mounts to the rear of the engine block near the transmission.
The PCM uses the Crankshaft Position sensor to calculate the following:
- Engine RPM
- TDC number 1 and 4
- Ignition coil synchronization
- Injector synchronization
- Camshaft-to-crankshaft misalignment (Timing belt skipped 1 tooth or more diagnostic trouble
code).

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The PCM sends approximately 5 volts to the Hall-effect sensor. This voltage is required to operate
the Hall-effect chip and the electronics inside the sensor. A ground for the sensor is provided
through the sensor return circuit. The input to the PCM occurs on a 5 volt output reference circuit
that operates as follows: The Hall-effect sensor contains a powerful magnet. As the magnetic field
passes over the dense portion of the counterweight, the 5-volt signal is pulled to ground (0.3 volts)
through a transistor in the sensor. When the magnetic field passes over the notches in the
crankshaft counterweight, the magnetic field turns off the transistor in the sensor, causing the PCM
to register the 5-volt signal. The PCM identifies crankshaft position by registering the change from
5 to 0 volts, as signaled from the Crankshaft Position sensor (2).
The PCM determines which cylinder to fire from the crankshaft position sensor input and the
camshaft position sensor input. The #8 crankshaft counterweight has a target ring with 32 teeth
and notches (1), including one long reference tooth and notch. From the crankshaft position sensor
input the PCM determines engine speed and crankshaft angle (position).

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The knock sensor is bolted to the cylinder block. The knock sensor is designed to detect engine
vibration that is caused by detonation or preignition.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When the knock sensor detects a knock in one of the cylinders, it sends an input signal to the
PCM. In response, the PCM retards ignition timing for all cylinders by a scheduled amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric material which constantly vibrates and sends an input
voltage (signal) to the PCM while the engine operates. As the intensity of the crystal's vibration
increases, the knock sensor output voltage also increases.
The voltage signal produced by the knock sensor increases with the amplitude of vibration. The
PCM receives as an input the knock sensor voltage signal. If the signal rises above a
predetermined level, the PCM will store that value in memory and retard ignition timing to reduce
engine knock. If the knock sensor voltage exceeds a preset value, the PCM retards ignition timing
for all cylinders. It is not a selective cylinder retard.
The PCM ignores knock sensor input during engine idle conditions. Once the engine speed
exceeds a specified value, ignition timing retard is allowed.
Ignition timing is retarded uses its own short term and long term memory program.
Long term memory stores previous detonation information in its battery-backed RAM. The
maximum authority that long term memory has over timing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard ignition timing up to a preset amount under all operating
conditions (as long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except WOT. The PCM, using short term
memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term memory
is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening affects knock sensor performance, possibly causing improper
spark control.

Manifold Pressure/Vacuum Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The MAP serves as a PCM input, using a silicon based sensing unit, to provide data on the
manifold vacuum that draws the air/fuel mixture into the combustion chamber. The PCM requires
this information to determine injector pulse width and spark advance. When MAP equals
Barometric pressure, the pulse width will be at maximum.
Also like the cam and crank sensors, a 5 volt reference is supplied from the PCM and returns a
voltage signal to the PCM that reflects manifold pressure. The zero pressure reading is 0.5 volt and
full scale is 4.5 volt. For a pressure swing of 0 - 15 psi the voltage changes 4.0 volt. The sensor is
supplied a regulated 4.8 to 5.1 volts to operate the sensor. Like the cam and crank sensors ground
is provided through the sensor return circuit.
The MAP sensor input is the number one contributor to pulse width. The most important function of
the MAP sensor is to determine barometric pressure. The PCM needs to know if the vehicle is at
sea level or is it in Denver at 5000 feet above sea level, because the air density changes with
altitude. It will also help to correct for varying weather conditions. If a hurricane was coming through
the pressure would be very, very low or there could be a real fair weather, high pressure area. This
is important because as air pressure changes the barometric pressure changes. Barometric
pressure and altitude have a direct inverse correlation, as altitude goes up barometric goes down.
The first thing that happens as the key is rolled on, before reaching the crank position, the PCM
powers up, comes around and looks at the MAP voltage, and based upon the voltage it sees, it
knows the current barometric pressure relative to altitude. Once the engine starts, the PCM looks
at the voltage again, continuously every 12 milliseconds, and compares the current voltage to what
it was at key on. The difference between current and what it was at key on is manifold vacuum.
During key On (engine not running) the sensor reads (updates) barometric pressure. A normal
range can be obtained by monitoring known good sensor in your work area.
As the altitude increases the air becomes thinner (less oxygen). If a vehicle is started and driven to
a very different altitude than where it was at key On the barometric pressure needs to be updated.
Any time the PCM sees Wide Open throttle, based upon TPS angle and RPM it will update
barometric pressure in the MAP memory cell. With periodic updates, the PCM can make its
calculations more effectively.
The PCM uses the MAP sensor to aid in calculating the following:
- Barometric pressure
- Engine load
- Manifold pressure
- Injector pulse-width
- Spark-advance programs
- Shift-point strategies (F4AC1 transmissions only, via the PCI bus)
- Idle speed
- Decel fuel shutoff
The PCM recognizes a decrease in manifold pressure by monitoring a decrease in voltage from the
reading stored in the barometric pressure memory cell. The MAP sensor is a linear sensor; as
pressure changes, voltage changes proportionately. The range of voltage output from the sensor is
usually between 4.6 volts at sea level to as low as 0.3 volts at 88 kPa (26 in. Hg). Barometric
pressure is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere upon an object. At sea level on a standard
day, no storm, barometric pressure is 101 kPa (29.92 in. Hg). For every 30.5 meters (100 feet) of
altitude barometric pressure drops .33 kPa (0.10 in. Hg). If a storm goes through it can either add,
high pressure, or decrease, low pressure, from what should be present for that altitude. You should
make a habit of knowing what the average pressure and corresponding barometric pressure is for
your area.

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Separate upstream and downstream grounds are used on the NGC vehicles (4 Cyl.).
As vehicles accumulate mileage, the catalytic convertor deteriorates. The deterioration results in a
less efficient catalyst. To monitor catalytic convertor deterioration, the fuel injection system uses
two heated oxygen sensors. One sensor upstream of the catalytic convertor, one downstream of
the convertor. The PCM compares the reading from the sensors to calculate the catalytic convertor
oxygen storage capacity and converter efficiency. Also, the PCM uses the upstream heated oxygen
sensor input when adjusting injector pulse width.
When the catalytic converter efficiency drops below emission standards, the PCM stores a
diagnostic trouble code and illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
The O2 sensors produce a constant 2.5 volts on NGC vehicles, depending upon the oxygen
content of the exhaust gas. When a large amount of oxygen is present (caused by a lean air/fuel
mixture, can be caused by misfire and exhaust leaks), the sensors produce a low voltage. When
there is a lesser amount of oxygen present (caused by a rich air/fuel mixture, which can be caused
by internal engine problems) it produces a higher voltage. By monitoring the oxygen content and
converting it to electrical voltage, the sensors act as a rich-lean switch.
The oxygen sensors are equipped with a heating element that keeps the sensors at proper
operating temperature during all operating modes. Maintaining correct sensor temperature at all
times allows the system to enter into closed loop operation sooner. Also, it allows the system to
remain in closed loop operation during periods of extended idle.
In Closed Loop operation the PCM monitors the O2 sensor's input (along with other inputs) and
adjusts the injector pulse width accordingly. During Open Loop operation the PCM ignores the O2
sensor input. The PCM adjusts injector pulse width based on preprogrammed (fixed) values and
inputs from other sensors.
The NGC Controller has a common ground for the heater in the O2S. 12 volts is supplied to the
heater in the O2S by the NGC controller. Both the upstream and downstream O2 sensors for NGC
are pulse width modulation (PWM).
NOTE: When replacing an O2 Sensor, the PCM RAM memory must be cleared, either by
disconnecting the PCM C-1 connector or momentarily disconnecting the Battery negative terminal.
The NGC learns the characteristics of each O2 heater element and these old values should be
cleared when installing a new O2 sensor. The customer may experience driveability issues if this is
not performed.
UPSTREAM OXYGEN SENSOR
The input from the upstream heated oxygen sensor tells the PCM the oxygen content of the
exhaust gas. Based on this input, the PCM fine tunes the air-fuel ratio by adjusting injector pulse
width.
The sensor input switches from 2.5 to 3.5 volt, depending upon the oxygen content of the exhaust
gas in the exhaust manifold. When a large amount of oxygen is present (caused by a lean air-fuel
mixture), the sensor produces voltage as low as 2.5 volt. When there is a lesser amount of oxygen
present (rich air-fuel mixture) the sensor produces a voltage as high as 3.5 volt. By monitoring the
oxygen content and converting it to electrical voltage, the sensor acts as a rich-lean switch.
The heating element in the sensor provides heat to the sensor ceramic element. Heating the
sensor allows the system to enter into closed loop operation sooner. Also, it allows the system to
remain in closed loop operation during periods of extended idle.
In Closed Loop, the PCM adjusts injector pulse width based on the upstream heated oxygen
sensor input along with other inputs. In Open Loop, the PCM adjusts injector pulse width based on
preprogrammed (fixed) values and inputs from other sensors.
DOWNSTREAM OXYGEN SENSOR
The downstream heated oxygen sensor input is used to detect catalytic convertor deterioration. As
the convertor deteriorates, the input from the downstream sensor begins to match the upstream
sensor input except for a slight time delay. By comparing the downstream heated oxygen sensor
input to the input from the upstream sensor, the PCM calculates catalytic convertor efficiency. This
is also used to establish the upstream O2 goal voltage (switching point).

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

IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as follows:
- In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the instrument panel area are C200 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.
- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.
- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.
- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
In addition, S001-S099 numbers are located in the engine compartment.
- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.
LOCATIONS
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
DESCRIPTION - SECTION IDENTIFICATION AND INFORMATION
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual sections. If a component is most likely found in a
particular group, it will be shown complete (all wires, connectors, and pins) within that group. For
example, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be found in Powertrain Management, so it is
shown there complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some
associated wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Splice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.
Connector Pin-Outs 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
STANDARD PROCEDURE - 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.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1008
- 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.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The PCM sends approximately 5 volts to the Hall-effect sensor. This voltage is required to operate
the Hall-effect chip and the electronics inside the sensor. The input to the PCM occurs on a 5 volt
output reference circuit. A ground for the sensor is provided through the sensor return circuit. The
PCM identifies camshaft position by registering the change from 5 to 0 volts, as signaled from the
camshaft position sensor.
The PCM determines fuel injection synchronization and cylinder identification from inputs provided

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft position sensor mounts to the rear of the engine block near the transmission.
The PCM uses the Crankshaft Position sensor to calculate the following:
- Engine RPM
- TDC number 1 and 4
- Ignition coil synchronization
- Injector synchronization
- Camshaft-to-crankshaft misalignment (Timing belt skipped 1 tooth or more diagnostic trouble
code).

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The PCM sends approximately 5 volts to the Hall-effect sensor. This voltage is required to operate
the Hall-effect chip and the electronics inside the sensor. A ground for the sensor is provided
through the sensor return circuit. The input to the PCM occurs on a 5 volt output reference circuit
that operates as follows: The Hall-effect sensor contains a powerful magnet. As the magnetic field
passes over the dense portion of the counterweight, the 5-volt signal is pulled to ground (0.3 volts)
through a transistor in the sensor. When the magnetic field passes over the notches in the
crankshaft counterweight, the magnetic field turns off the transistor in the sensor, causing the PCM
to register the 5-volt signal. The PCM identifies crankshaft position by registering the change from
5 to 0 volts, as signaled from the Crankshaft Position sensor (2).
The PCM determines which cylinder to fire from the crankshaft position sensor input and the
camshaft position sensor input. The #8 crankshaft counterweight has a target ring with 32 teeth
and notches (1), including one long reference tooth and notch. From the crankshaft position sensor
input the PCM determines engine speed and crankshaft angle (position).

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The knock sensor is bolted to the cylinder block. The knock sensor is designed to detect engine
vibration that is caused by detonation or preignition.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When the knock sensor detects a knock in one of the cylinders, it sends an input signal to the
PCM. In response, the PCM retards ignition timing for all cylinders by a scheduled amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric material which constantly vibrates and sends an input
voltage (signal) to the PCM while the engine operates. As the intensity of the crystal's vibration
increases, the knock sensor output voltage also increases.
The voltage signal produced by the knock sensor increases with the amplitude of vibration. The
PCM receives as an input the knock sensor voltage signal. If the signal rises above a
predetermined level, the PCM will store that value in memory and retard ignition timing to reduce
engine knock. If the knock sensor voltage exceeds a preset value, the PCM retards ignition timing
for all cylinders. It is not a selective cylinder retard.
The PCM ignores knock sensor input during engine idle conditions. Once the engine speed
exceeds a specified value, ignition timing retard is allowed.
Ignition timing is retarded uses its own short term and long term memory program.
Long term memory stores previous detonation information in its battery-backed RAM. The
maximum authority that long term memory has over timing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard ignition timing up to a preset amount under all operating
conditions (as long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except WOT. The PCM, using short term
memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term memory
is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening affects knock sensor performance, possibly causing improper
spark control.

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation Front
Description
FRONT
Two front impact sensors (1) are used on this vehicle, one each for the left and right sides of the
vehicle. These sensors are mounted remotely from the impact sensor that is internal to the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). Each front sensor is secured with a screw to the backs of the
right and left vertical members of the radiator support within the engine compartment.
The right and left front impact sensors are identical in construction and calibration. A cavity in the
center of the molded black plastic impact sensor housing contains the electronic circuitry of the
sensor which includes an electronic communication chip and an electronic impact sensor. Potting
material that fills the cavity to seal and protect the internal electronic circuitry and components. The
front impact sensors are each connected to the vehicle electrical system through the headlamp and
dash wire harness.
The impact sensors cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if damaged or ineffective, they must be
replaced.
Operation
FRONT
The front impact sensors are electronic accelerometers that sense the rate of vehicle deceleration,
which provides verification of the direction and severity of an impact. Each sensor also contains an
electronic communication chip that allows the unit to communicate the sensor status as well as
sensor fault information to the microprocessor in the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC).
The ORC microprocessor continuously monitors all of the passive restraint system electrical
circuits to determine the system readiness. If the ORC detects a monitored system fault, it sets a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and controls the airbag indicator operation accordingly. The impact
sensors each receive battery current and ground through dedicated left and right sensor plus and
minus circuits from the ORC. The impact sensors and the ORC communicate by modulating the
voltage in the sensor plus circuit.
To diagnose the impact sensors or the electronic controls and communication related to front
impact sensor operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

Seat Occupant Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The seat weight sensors are strain gauge-type units. The electronic elements of the sensor are
encased within the sensor body (4). Four sensors are used in the Occupant Classification System
(OCS). The sensors are located below the seat cushion between the seat adjuster track and the
seat adjuster riser at each corner of the passenger side front seat.
A threaded mounting stud (2) on each sensor body is secured by a nut to the seat adjuster riser,
and two nuts secure each sensor mounting flange (1) to two studs integral to the front and rear of
the inboard and outboard passenger side lower seat adjuster tracks. A molded connector
receptacle (3) integral to each sensor body is oriented towards the center of the seat and is
connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated connector and take out of the
passenger seat wire harness beneath the seat cushion.
The seat weight sensors cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the entire
sensor must be replaced.

> Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 1147
Seat Occupant Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The seat weight sensor units are designed to sense the relative weight of a load applied to the
passenger side front seat, which provides a logic input to the microprocessor of the Occupant
Classification Module (OCM). When any load is applied to the seat the load is transmitted through
the sensor mounting flange to the sensor body (strain gauge) of each sensor, causing a change of
electrical resistance through the strain gauge. These changes in resistance within the internal
sensor circuitry change the sensor output voltage.
Each weight sensor receives a nominal five volts and a clean ground through parallel hard wired
circuits from the OCM. The OCM then monitors the output voltage of each sensor on dedicated
hard wired data communication circuits. The hard wired circuits between the sensors and the OCM
may be diagnosed and tested using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. However, the
most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the seat weight sensor inputs to the OCM,
and the electronic message communication between the OCM and the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The use of tire sealants is strictly prohibited for vehicles equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring system. Tire sealants can clog tire pressure sensors.
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: 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: When installing the valve core, be sure to tighten the core to specifications.
Overtightening by a little as three or four inch pounds can damage the sensor.
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.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation 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 315 MHz radio frequency. The 315 MHz sensors can be easily
identified by a white outline oval (black center) insignia (3) on the sensor body.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Steering and Suspension > Sensors and
Switches - Wheels and Tires > Tire Pressure Sensor > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description >
Page 1241
The Export TPM system operates on a 433 MHz radio frequency. The 433 MHz sensors can be
easily identified by either a solid white oval insignia (3) on the body or...
... a solid white oval insignia (3) with 433 printed in the center. The sensors are identical except for
the oval insignia. The 433 MHz sensors can either have a black or grey sensor body.
CAUTION: Although 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and shape, they are not
interchangeable. Always make sure the correct sensor is being used.
NOTE: Sensors may be identified by valve stem cap color. From the factory, 315 MHz sensors
have a gray valve stem cap while 433 MHz sensors have a black valve stem cap. Otherwise, once
mounted inside a tire and wheel assembly you are not able to visually tell the difference between a
315 MHz and 433 MHz sensor. At that point, the TPM-RKE Analyzer, Special Tool 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.
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 1242
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 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, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor's operating mode to PARK MODE
and to help diagnose a faulty TPM sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to
force a transmission from a sensor.
The TPM sensor can be in one of the following operating modes:
- SLEEP MODE - This is the operating mode of a new TPM sensor. If placed on the vehicle as a
road tire, the sensor will transmit once every 20 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over
15 mph (24 km/h). Driving the vehicle continuously at this speed for more then 4 minutes will
change the sensor state to DRIVE MODE. Stopping the vehicle for 20 minutes will change the
sensor state to PARK MODE. If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a
pressure change greater then 1 psi (6.9 kPa).
- PARK MODE - This is the correct operating mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will
transmit once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 1 psi (6.9 kPa) delta
change. The sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to
determine a change in tire pressure.
- 30 BLOCK MODE - If the vehicle has been stopped for more then 20 minutes, or if the sensor's
operating mode was forced to PARK MODE using a TPM-RKE Analyzer, the sensor's operating
mode will transition from PARK MODE to 30 BLOCK MODE once the vehicle is driven over 15
mph. In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every 15 seconds when the vehicle is driven at
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h) for the first 30 transmissions. After about 8 minutes of continuous
driving above 15 mph (24 km/h), the sensor's mode will change to DRIVE MODE.
- DRIVE MODE - In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every minute when the vehicle is
driven at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). At any time the vehicle speed drops below 15 mph, the
sensor will not transmit. The sensor mode will still be in drive mode when the sensor reaches
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h), unless the vehicle has been stationary for more then 20 minutes.
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the wireless control module (WCM)
can monitor the state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The WCM can
automatically learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 10 minutes continuously above
15 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 WCM 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.

Heated Glass Element Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The switch for the rear window defogger (EBL) system (1) is located in the A/C-heater control (2) in
the instrument panel center bezel (3). When the rear window defogger switch is pressed to the On
position a request signal is sent to the cabin compartment node (CCN), which sends a message to
the totally integrated power module (TIPM) to operate the EBL system.
When the high side driver in the TIPM is energized, current is directed to the rear defogger grid
lines and to the heated side view mirrors (when equipped). The grid lines heat the glass to help
clear the surface of fog or frost.

Heated Glass Element Switch: Description and Operation 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 cabin compartment node (CCN), which sends a
message 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.
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 found inoperative or
damaged.

Wiper Switch: Description and Operation 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).

> Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 1296
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.
- 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 two 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 Operation
OPERATION
The right (wiper) multi-function switch uses a combination of resistor multiplexing and conventional
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.

Wiper Switch: Testing and Inspection
RIGHT MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the
supplemental restraint system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag,
occupant classification system, 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 supplemental restraint system. 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.
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).

Alignment: Specifications Curb Height Specifications
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 lower control arm rear
(vertical) pivot bolt head (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 center of the outboard
trailing arm-to-body mounting bolt (1) to the floor or
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))

alignment rack/lift runway surface.
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.

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 DaimlerChrysler 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.
Typical wheel alignment angles and measurements are described in the following paragraphs.
CAMBER
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 1315
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 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
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 1316
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 Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 1317
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 Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 1318
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.)
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 1319
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 Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 1320
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.
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.
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.
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. 2. Loosen the bolts fastening the fore/aft crossmember to the
frame just enough to allow movement of the crossmember.
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.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Service and Repair > Wheel Alignment >
Page 1326
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.
Front Camber Adjustment By Shifting Crossmember
Front Caster Adjustment By Shifting Crossmember
4. Tighten all previously loosened fasteners (bolts) securing the crossmember to the vehicle to
specifications. 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
The camber adjustment bolt package contains new bolts and nuts for attaching the strut clevis
bracket to the steering knuckle. The bolts contained in the package are slightly undersize allowing
for movement between the strut clevis bracket and the steering knuckle. The movement allowed by
the undersize bolts provide approximately two degrees of camber adjustment per side of the
vehicle. To install and adjust the camber adjustment bolt package, follow the procedure below.
7. Raise the vehicle until its tires are not supporting the weight of the vehicle.

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 lower control arm rear
(vertical) pivot bolt head (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 center of the outboard
trailing arm-to-body mounting bolt (1) to the floor or

alignment rack/lift runway surface.
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 engine cover. 4. Disconnect coil electrical connectors and remove coils. 5. Remove all
spark plugs from engine. As spark plugs are being removed, check electrodes for abnormal firing
indicators fouled, hot, oily, etc.
Record cylinder number of spark plug for future reference.
6. Disconnect injector electrical connectors. 7. Be sure throttle blade is fully open during the
compression check. 8. Insert compression gauge adaptor 8116 or the equivalent, into the #1 spark
plug hole in cylinder head. Connect the 0-500 psi (Blue) pressure
transducer CH7059 with cable adaptors to the DRBIII(R).
9. Crank engine until maximum pressure is reached on gauge. Record this pressure as #1 cylinder
pressure.
10. Repeat the previous step for all remaining cylinders. 11. Compression should not be less than
1034 kPa (150 psi) and not vary more than 25 percent from cylinder to cylinder. 12. If one or more
cylinders have abnormally low compression pressures, repeat the compression test. 13. 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

VISUAL DIAGNOSIS
When diagnosing serpentine accessory drive belts, small cracks that run across the ribbed surface
of the belt from rib to rib (1), are considered normal. These are not a reason to replace the belt.
However, cracks running along a rib (not across) (2) are not normal. Any belt with cracks running
along a rib must be replaced. Also replace the belt if it has excessive wear, frayed cords or severe
glazing.
Refer to ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT DIAGNOSIS CHART for further belt diagnosis.
NOISE DIAGNOSIS
Noises generated by the accessory drive belt are most noticeable at idle. Before replacing a belt to
resolve a noise condition, inspect all of the accessory drive pulleys for contamination, alignment,

Warning
Hose/Line HVAC: Service Precautions Warning
WARNING
WARNING: The A/C system contains refrigerant under high pressure. Repairs should only be
performed by qualified service personnel. Serious or fatal injury may result from improper service
procedures.
WARNING: Avoid breathing the refrigerant and refrigerant oil vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate
the eyes, nose, and/or throat. Wear eye protection when servicing the A/C refrigerant system.
Serious eye injury can result from direct contact with the refrigerant. If eye contact occurs, seek
medical attention immediately.
WARNING: Do not expose the refrigerant to open flame. Poisonous gas is created when refrigerant
is burned. An electronic leak detector is recommended. Serious or fatal injury may result from
improper service procedures.
WARNING: If accidental A/C system discharge occurs, ventilate the work area before resuming
service. Large amounts of refrigerant released in a closed work area will displace the oxygen and
cause suffocation and serious or fatal injury.
WARNING: The evaporation rate of R-134a refrigerant at average temperature and altitude is
extremely high. As a result, anything that comes in contact with the refrigerant will freeze. Always
protect the skin or delicate objects from direct contact with the refrigerant.
WARNING: The R-134a service equipment or the vehicle refrigerant system should not be
pressure tested or leak tested with compressed air. Some mixtures of air and R-134a have been
shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures are potentially dangerous, and
may result in fire or explosion causing property damage and serious or fatal injury.
WARNING: The engine cooling system is designed to develop internal pressures up to 145
kilopascals (21 pounds per square inch). Do not remove or loosen the coolant pressure cap,
cylinder block drain plugs, radiator drain, radiator hoses, heater hoses, or hose clamps while the
engine cooling system is hot and under pressure. Allow the vehicle to cool for a minimum of 15
minutes before opening the cooling system for service. Failure to observe this warning can result in
serious burns from the heated engine coolant.

Hose/Line HVAC: Service Precautions Caution
CAUTION
CAUTION: Never add R-12 to a refrigerant system designed to use R-134a. Do not use R-12
equipment or parts on an R-134a A/C system. These refrigerants are not compatible and damage
to the A/C system will result.
CAUTION: Never use R-12 refrigerant oil in an A/C system designed to use R-134a refrigerant oil.
These refrigerant oils are not compatible and damage to the A/C system will result.
CAUTION: The use of A/C system sealers may result in damage to A/C refrigerant
recovery/evacuation/recharging equipment and/or A/C system. Many federal, state/provincial and
local regulations prohibit the recharge of A/C systems with known leaks. DaimlerChrysler
recommends the detection of A/C system leaks through the use of approved leak detectors and
fluorescent leak detection dyes. Vehicles found with A/C system sealers should be treated as
contaminated and replacement of the entire A/C refrigerant system is recommended. A/C systems
found to be contaminated with A/C system sealers, A/C stop-leak products or seal conditioners
voids the warranty for the A/C system.
CAUTION: Recover the refrigerant before opening any fitting or connection. Open the fittings with
caution, even after the system has been discharged. Never open or loosen a connection before
recovering the refrigerant.
CAUTION: The internal parts of the A/C system will remain stable as long as moisture-free
refrigerant and refrigerant oil is used. Abnormal amounts of dirt, moisture or air can upset the
chemical stability. This may cause operational troubles or even serious damage if present in more
than very small quantities. Before disconnecting a component, clean the outside of the fittings
thoroughly to prevent contamination from entering the refrigerant system. Keep service tools and
the work area clean. Do not open the refrigerant system or uncap a replacement component until
you are ready to service the system. Immediately after disconnecting a component from the
refrigerant system, seal the open fittings with a cap or plug. This will prevent contamination from
entering the A/C system.
CAUTION: Refrigerant oil will absorb moisture from the atmosphere if left uncapped. Do not open a
container of refrigerant oil until you are ready to use it. Replace the cap on the oil container
immediately after using. Store refrigerant oil only in a clean, airtight, and moisture-free container.
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.
CAUTION: Do not overcharge the refrigerant system. Overcharging will cause excessive
compressor head pressure and can cause compressor noise and A/C system failure.

Hose/Line HVAC: Description and Operation Plumbing
Description
DESCRIPTION
The A/C refrigerant lines and hoses are used to carry the refrigerant between the various A/C
system components. The refrigerant lines and hoses for the R-134a A/C system consist of a
barrier-hose design with a nylon tube sandwiched between rubber layers. The nylon tube helps to
contain the R-134a refrigerant, which has a small molecular structure. The ends of the refrigerant
lines are made from lightweight aluminum and braze-less fittings.
Any kinks or sharp bends in the refrigerant lines and hoses will reduce the capacity of the entire
A/C system and can reduce the flow of refrigerant within the system.
Operation
OPERATION
High pressures are produced in the refrigerant system when the A/C compressor is operating.
Extreme care must be exercised to make sure that each of the refrigerant system connections is
pressure-tight and leak free. It is a good practice to inspect all flexible hose refrigerant lines at least
once a year to make sure they are in good condition and properly routed.
Depending on vehicle, model and market application, refrigerant lines are connected to each other
or other A/C system components with block-type or quick-connect type fittings. To ensure the
integrity of the refrigerant system, flat gaskets and O-rings are used to seal the refrigerant system
connections.
The refrigerant lines and hoses cannot be repaired and must be replaced if leaking or damaged.

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

Brake Fluid: Specifications
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 DOT 3 Motor Vehicle 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 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 (2) 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.
NOTE: Although there is a range, the preferred level is FULL.
1. Remove the cap (1). 2. Adjust the brake fluid level to the FULL mark listed on the side of the
master cylinder fluid reservoir (2) as necessary. Do not overfill the system. 3. Install the cap (1).

ENGINE COOLANT
WARNING: Antifreeze is an ethylene glycol base coolant and is harmful if swallowed or inhaled. If
swallowed, drink two glasses of water and induce vomiting. If inhaled, move to fresh air area, seek
medical attention immediately. Do not store in open or unmarked containers. Wash skin and
clothing thoroughly after coming in contact with ethylene glycol. Keep out of reach of children.
Dispose of glycol base 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.
ETHYLENE-GLYCOL MIXTURES
CAUTION: Richer antifreeze mixtures cannot be measured with normal field equipment and can
cause problems associated with 100 percent ethylene-glycol.
The use of aluminum cylinder blocks, cylinder heads and water pumps requires special corrosion
protection. Only Mopar(R) Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 year/100,000 Mile Formula (ethylene-glycol base
coolant with corrosion inhibitors called HOAT, (Hybrid Additive Technology) is recommended. This
coolant offers the best engine cooling without corrosion when mixed with 50% distilled water to
obtain a freeze point of -37° C (-35° F).
The required ethylene-glycol (antifreeze) and water mixture depends upon the climate and vehicle
operating conditions. The antifreeze concentration must always be a minimum of 44 percent,
year-round in all climates. If percentage is lower than 44 percent, engine parts may be eroded by
cavitation, and cooling system components may be severely damaged by corrosion. Maximum
protection against freezing is provided with a 68% antifreeze concentration, which prevents
freezing down to -67.7° C (-90° F). A higher percentage will freeze at a warmer temperature. Also,
a higher percentage of antifreeze can cause the engine to overheat because the specific heat of
antifreeze is lower than that of water.
Use of 100 percent ethylene-glycol will cause formation of additive deposits in the system, as the
corrosion inhibitive additives in ethylene-glycol require the presence of water to dissolve. The
deposits act as insulation, causing temperatures to rise to as high as 149° C (300° F). This
temperature is hot enough to melt plastic and soften solder. The increased temperature can result
in engine detonation. In addition, 100 percent ethylene-glycol freezes at 22° C (-8° F).
PROPYLENE-GLYCOL MIXTURES
It's overall effective temperature range is smaller than that of ethylene-glycol. The freeze point of
50/50 propylene-glycol and water is -32° C (-26° F). 5° C higher than ethylene-glycol's freeze point.
The boiling point (protection against summer boil-over) of propylene-glycol is 125° C (257° F) at
96.5 kPa (14 psi), compared to 128° C (263° F) for ethylene-glycol. Use of propylene-glycol can
result in boil-over or freeze-up on a cooling system designed for ethylene-glycol. Propylene glycol
also has poorer heat transfer characteristics than ethylene glycol. This can increase cylinder head
temperatures under certain conditions.
Propylene-glycol/ethylene-glycol Mixtures can cause the destabilization of various corrosion
inhibitors, causing damage to the various cooling system components. Also, once ethylene-glycol
and propylene-glycol based coolants are mixed in the vehicle, conventional methods of determining
freeze point will not be accurate. Both the refractive index and specific gravity differ between
ethylene glycol and propylene glycol.

HOAT COOLANT
WARNING: Antifreeze is an ethylene-glycol base coolant and is harmful if swallowed or inhaled. If
swallowed, drink two glasses of water and induce vomiting. If inhaled, move to fresh air area. Seek
medical attention immediately. Do not store in open or unmarked containers. Wash skin and
clothing thoroughly after coming in contact with ethylene-glycol. Keep out of reach of children.
Dispose of glycol base coolant properly, contact your dealer or government agency for location of
collection center in your area. Do not open a cooling system when the engine is at operating
temperature or hot under pressure, personal injury can result. Avoid radiator cooling fan when
engine compartment related service is performed, personal injury can result.
CAUTION: Use of Propylene-Glycol based coolants is not recommended, as they provide less
freeze protection and less corrosion protection.
The cooling system is designed around the coolant. The coolant must accept heat from engine
metal, in the cylinder head area near the exhaust valves and engine block. Then coolant carries the
heat to the radiator where the tube/fin radiator can transfer the heat to the air.
The use of aluminum cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, and water pumps requires special corrosion
protection. Mopar(R) Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/160.00 km, (100,000 Mile) Formula (MS-9769), or
the equivalent ethylene-glycol base coolant with organic corrosion inhibitors (called HOAT, for
Hybrid Organic Additive Technology) is recommended. This coolant offers the best engine cooling
without corrosion when mixed with 50% ethylene-glycol and 50% distilled water to obtain a freeze
point of -37° C (-35° F). If it loses color or becomes contaminated, drain, flush, and replace with
fresh properly mixed coolant solution.
CAUTION: Mopar(R) Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/160.00 km (100,000) Mile Formula (MS-9769)
may not be mixed with any other type of antifreeze. Mixing of coolants other than specified
(non-HOAT or other HOAT), may result in engine damage that may not be covered under the new
vehicle warranty, and decreased corrosion protection.
COOLANT PERFORMANCE
The required ethylene-glycol (antifreeze) and water mixture depends upon climate and vehicle
operating conditions. The coolant performance of various mixtures follows:
Pure Water - Water can absorb more heat than a mixture of water and ethylene-glycol. This is for
purpose of heat transfer only. Water also freezes at a higher temperature and allows corrosion.
100 percent Ethylene-Glycol - The corrosion inhibiting additives in ethylene-glycol need the
presence of water to dissolve. Without water, additives form deposits in system. These act as
insulation causing temperature to rise to as high as 149° C (300° F). This temperature is hot
enough to melt plastic and soften solder. The increased temperature can result in engine
detonation. In addition, 100 percent ethylene-glycol freezes at -22° C (-8° F).
50/50 Ethylene-Glycol and Water - Is the recommended mixture, it provides protection against
freezing to -37° C (-34° F). The antifreeze concentration must always be a minimum of 44 percent,
year-round in all climates. If percentage is lower, engine parts may be eroded by cavitation.
Maximum protection against freezing is provided with a 68 percent antifreeze concentration, which
prevents freezing down to -67.7° C (-90° F). A higher percentage will freeze at a warmer
temperature. Also, a higher percentage of antifreeze can cause the engine to overheat because
specific heat of antifreeze is lower than that of water.
CAUTION: Richer antifreeze mixtures cannot be measured with normal field equipment and can
cause problems associated with 100 percent ethylene-glycol.
COOLANT SELECTION AND ADDITIVES
The use of aluminum cylinder blocks, cylinder heads and water pumps requires special corrosion
protection. Only Mopar(R) Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/160.000 km (100,000 Mile) Formula (glycol
base coolant with corrosion inhibitors called HOAT, for Hybrid Organic Additive Technology) is
recommended. This coolant offers the best engine cooling without corrosion when mixed with 50%
distilled water to obtain a freeze point of -37° C (-35° F). If it loses color or becomes contaminated,
drain, flush, and replace with fresh properly mixed coolant solution.
CAUTION: Do not use coolant additives that are claimed to improve engine cooling.

Coolant: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
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 propylene-glycol coolant prevents water present in the
cooling system from freezing within temperatures indicated by mixture ratio of coolant to water.

Concentration Testing
Coolant: Testing and Inspection Coolant Concentration Testing
COOLANT CONCENTRATION TESTING
Coolant concentration should be checked when any additional coolant was added to system or
after a coolant drain, flush and refill. The coolant mixture offers optimum engine cooling and
protection against corrosion when mixed to a freeze point of -37° C (-34° F) to -46° C (-50° F). The
use of a hydrometer or a refractometer can be used to test coolant concentration.
A hydrometer will test the amount of glycol in a mixture by measuring the specific gravity of the
mixture. The higher the concentration of ethylene glycol, the larger the number of balls that will
float, and higher the freeze protection (up to a maximum of 60% by volume glycol).
A refractometer Tool 8286 will test the amount of glycol in a coolant mixture by measuring the
amount a beam of light bends as it passes through the fluid.
Some coolant manufactures use other types of glycols into their coolant formulations. Propylene
glycol is the most common new coolant. However, propylene glycol based coolants do not provide
the same freezing protection and corrosion protection and is not recommended.
CAUTION: Do not mix types of coolant corrosion protection will be severely reduced.

NOTE: Do not remove pressure cap for routine coolant level inspections.
The coolant recovery/reserve system provides a quick visual method for determining the coolant
level without removing the radiator cap. Simply observe, with the engine idling and warmed up to
normal operating temperature, that the level of the coolant in the recovery/reserve container is
between the FULL HOT and ADD marks.

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

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

ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK
NOTE: The engine must be HOT when checking oil level.
The best time to check engine oil level is after the engine is at operating temperature. Allow the
engine to be shut off for at least 5 minutes before checking oil level.
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
DESCRIPTION
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.

Power Steering Fluid: Testing and Inspection
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

Refrigerant: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The refrigerant used in this air conditioning system is a Hydro Fluoro Carbon (HFC), type R-134a.
Unlike R-12, which is a Chloro Fluoro Carbon (CFC), R-134a refrigerant does not contain
ozone-depleting chlorine. R-134a refrigerant is a non-toxic, non-flammable, clear, and colorless
liquefied gas.
Even though R-134a does not contain chlorine, it must be reclaimed and recycled just like
CFC-type refrigerants. This is because R-134a is a greenhouse gas and can contribute to global
warming.

Refrigerant: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
R-134a refrigerant is not compatible with R-12 refrigerant in an A/C system. Even a small amount
of R-12 refrigerant added to an R-134a refrigerant system will cause A/C compressor failure,
refrigerant oil sludge or poor A/C system performance. In addition, the polyalkylene glycol (PAG)
synthetic refrigerant oils used in an R-134a refrigerant system are not compatible with the
mineral-based refrigerant oils used in an R-12 refrigerant system.
R-134a refrigerant system service ports, service tool couplers and refrigerant dispensing bottles
have all been designed with unique fittings to ensure that an R-134a refrigerant system is not
accidentally contaminated with the wrong refrigerant (R-12). There are also labels posted in the
engine compartment of the vehicle and on the A/C compressor to identify that the A/C system is
equipped with R-134a refrigerant.

Refrigerant: Testing and Inspection
REFRIGERANT SYSTEM LEAKS
WARNING: R-134a service equipment or vehicle A/C system should not be pressure tested or leak
tested with compressed air. Mixture of air and R-134a can be combustible at elevated pressures.
These mixtures are potentially dangerous and may result in fire or explosion causing property
damage, personal injury or death.
Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Use only approved service equipment meeting SAE requirements to discharge an R-134a
system. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service.
NOTE: If the A/C refrigerant system charge is empty or low, a leak in the A/C system is likely.
Visually inspect all A/C lines, fittings and components for an oily residue. Oil residue can be an
indicator of an A/C system leak location.
NOTE: The only way to correctly determine if the refrigerant system is fully charged with R-134a is
to completely evacuate and recharge the A/C system.
Connect a suitable manifold gauge set and determine if the static A/C system pressure is above or
below 345 kPa (50 psi). If less than 345 kPa (50 psi) , proceed to SYSTEM EMPTY. If greater than
345 kPa (50 psi), go to SYSTEM LOW.
SYSTEM EMPTY
1. Evacuate the refrigerant system to the lowest degree of vacuum possible (approximately -88 kPa
(-26 in. Hg) or greater vacuum). Determine if
the system holds a vacuum for 15 minutes. If vacuum is held, a leak is probably not present. If
system will not maintain vacuum level, proceed to STEP 2.
2. Prepare and dispense 0.284 kilograms (10 ounces) of R-134a refrigerant into the evacuated
refrigerant system and proceed to STEP 1 of the
System Low procedure.
SYSTEM LOW
3. Position the vehicle in a wind-free work area. This will aid in detecting small leaks.
4. Operate the heating-A/C system with the engine at idle under the following conditions for at least
5 minutes.
- Doors or windows open
- Transaxle in Park or Neutral with the parking brake set (depending on application)
- A/C-heater controls set to outside air, full cool, panel mode, high blower and with A/C compressor
engaged
CAUTION: A leak detector only designed for R-12 refrigerant will not detect leaks in an R-134a
refrigerant system.
5. Shut the vehicle Off and wait 2-7 minutes. Then use an electronic leak detector that is designed
to detect R-134a refrigerant and search for leaks.
Fittings, lines or components that appear to be oily usually indicate a refrigerant leak. To inspect
the A/C evaporator for leaks, insert the leak detector probe into the drain tube opening or an air
outlet. A dye for R-134a is available to aid in leak detection. Use only DaimlerChrysler approved
refrigerant dye.

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.
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. 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.

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.
1. Evacuate the refrigerant system.
2. A manifold gauge set and an R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging station that meets
SAE standard J2210 should be connected 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 operating and the blower motor is running at its lowest
speed setting. Run the engine at a steady high idle (about 1400 rpm).
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 personal injury or death.

Refrigerant Oil: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The refrigerant oil used in R-134a refrigerant systems is a synthetic-based, polyalkylene glycol
(PAG), wax-free lubricant. Mineral-based R-12 refrigerant oils are not compatible with PAG oils and
should never be introduced to an R-134a refrigerant system.
There are different PAG oils available and each 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.
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 Denso 5SE12C A/C compressor used in this vehicle is designed to use ND-8 PAG refrigerant
oil. Use only this type of refrigerant oil in the refrigerant system.

Refrigerant Oil: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
After performing any refrigerant recovery or recycling operation, always replenish the refrigerant
system with the same amount of the recommended refrigerant oil as was removed. Too little
refrigerant oil can cause A/C compressor damage, and too much can reduce A/C system
performance.
PAG refrigerant oil is more hygroscopic than mineral oil, and will absorb any moisture it comes into
contact with, even moisture in the air. The PAG oil container should always be kept tightly capped
until it is ready to be used. After use, recap the oil container immediately to prevent moisture
contamination.

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 accumulator, 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: ND-8 PAG refrigerant oil is used in the Denso 5SE12C A/C compressor. 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.
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 accumulator, A/C evaporator or A/C condenser is
replaced. Refer to the Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart.
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.
COMPRESSOR OIL DRAIN PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Be certain to adjust the refrigerant system oil level when replacing an A/C compressor.
The refrigerant oil in the Denso 5SE12C 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.
NOTE: When replacing multiple A/C system components, refer to the Refrigerant Oil Capacities
chart to determine how much oil should be removed from the new A/C compressor (example: new
compressor and accumulator requires 80 ml. (2.7 oz.) of oil to be added to the system. 120 ml. (4.1
oz.) of oil is in new compressor. 120 ml. (4.1 oz.) minus 80 ml. (2.7 oz.) equals 40 ml. (1.4 oz.) oil
to be drained from new compressor).
The Denso 5SE12C A/C compressor is filled with 120 milliliters (4.1 oz.) from the factory. When
only the A/C compressor is being replaced, 70 milliliters (2.4 oz.) of refrigerant oil must first be
drained from the new compressor prior to installation. Use the following procedure to drain and
measure refrigerant oil from the Denso 5SE12C A/C compressor.

1. Place the new A/C compressor (1) on a workbench,
2. Position the A/C compressor so that the refrigerant oil can drain out of the suction port (2) into a
suitable clean measured container. Hold the A/C
compressor in this position until no more oil comes out of the compressor port.
3. Reposition the A/C compressor (1) so that the pulley (2) is facing upward and slowly rotate the
compressor pulley clockwise one full turn.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 at least seven times or until 70 milliliters (2.4 oz.) of refrigerant oil is
drained from the new A/C compressor.
CAUTION: Failure to properly adjust the refrigerant oil level prior to installation of a new
compressor can prevent the A/C system from operating as designed and cause serious
compressor damage.
5. Install the new A/C compressor onto the engine.

BASE BRAKE BLEEDING
NOTE: For bleeding the ABS hydraulic system, refer to Antilock Brake System Bleeding in the
Antilock Brake System.
CAUTION: Before removing the master cylinder cap, wipe it clean to prevent dirt and other foreign
matter from dropping into the master cylinder reservoir.
CAUTION: Use only Mopar(R) brake fluid or an equivalent from a fresh, tightly sealed container.
Brake fluid must conform to DOT 3 specifications.
NOTE: For bleeding of the Antilock Brake System, Refer to BRAKES - ABS STANDARD
PROCEDURE.
Do not pump the brake pedal at any time while having a bleeder screw open during the bleeding
process. This will only increase the amount of air in the system and make additional bleeding
necessary.
Do not allow the master cylinder reservoir to run out of brake fluid while bleeding the system. An
empty reservoir will allow additional air into the brake system. Check the fluid level frequently and
add fluid as needed.
The following wheel circuit sequence for bleeding the brake hydraulic system should be used to
ensure adequate removal of all trapped air from the hydraulic system.
- Left rear wheel
- Right front wheel

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

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. 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.

DISCUSSION:
The Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse is used to prevent battery discharge during shipping and long term
storage of the vehicles. The IOD fuse is located in the Total Integrated Power Module (TI PM). If
the fuse is not completely inserted partial contact of the fuse terminals could occur. When the
vehicle is prepped for customer delivery, ensure that the fuse is fully engaged (Fig. 1). The IOD
fuse must also be fully released to prevent battery drain from occurring when the vehicle is stored.
When the IOD fuse holder is depressed into the carrier, an initial distinct detent will be felt to
overcome the "pre-hold position". You must then continue to push straight down on the IOD
pre-holder until no further downward movement is encountered.
NOTE:
If the fuse is not pushed down symmetrically, two detents MAY be felt as each side snaps past the
pre-hold position. Push down until no further downward movement is encountered.
On 2006 and 2007 PT and PM vehicles the circuits fed by the IOD fuse are: Radio, Security module

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
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
STANDARD PROCEDURE - 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

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1644
- 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.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse Block > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1672
- 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 Monitor Receiver / Transponder: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A transponder, sometimes referred to as a trigger module, is located in three of the four wheel
wells (behind the wheelhouse splash shields) of a vehicle equipped with Premium TPM. These
transponders are used to provide the Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as
the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM), with the location of the tire pressure sensors on
the vehicle. A fourth transponder is not necessary in the remaining wheel well due to the
process-of-elimination theory. Once the system knows the location of the first three sensors it
assumes the location of the fourth tire pressure sensor. On this vehicle, there is a transponder
located in the left front, left rear, and right rear wheelhouse. There is not a transponder located in
the right front wheelhouse.

commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM), uses transponders
(trigger modules) located in three of the four wheel wells on the vehicle to provide it with the
location of the tire pressure sensors on the vehicle. Like the base system, the WCM receives RF
signals from all four rotating wheel speed sensors. When the WCM needs to know which sensor is
located at a particular location on the vehicle, it directs the transponder at that location to send out
a low frequency signal to excite the nearby sensor. The WCM then receives that excited signal and
knows where that sensor is located. This auto-locating process only happens in the first 10 minutes
of any WCM cycle while traveling at speeds above 20 mph (32 km/h). (The auto-locating process
will start again only if the vehicle has been shut off for approximately 20 minutes or longer). Once
the WCM has performed this to the three locations that have transponders, it uses the
process-of-elimination theory to know that the fourth sensor ID signal is coming from.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The use of tire sealants is strictly prohibited for vehicles equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring system. Tire sealants can clog tire pressure sensors.
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: 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: When installing the valve core, be sure to tighten the core to specifications.
Overtightening by a little as three or four inch pounds can damage the sensor.
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.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation 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 315 MHz radio frequency. The 315 MHz sensors can be easily
identified by a white outline oval (black center) insignia (3) on the sensor body.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Sensors and Switches - Wheels and Tires > Tire Pressure
Sensor > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 1726
The Export TPM system operates on a 433 MHz radio frequency. The 433 MHz sensors can be
easily identified by either a solid white oval insignia (3) on the body or...
... a solid white oval insignia (3) with 433 printed in the center. The sensors are identical except for
the oval insignia. The 433 MHz sensors can either have a black or grey sensor body.
CAUTION: Although 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and shape, they are not
interchangeable. Always make sure the correct sensor is being used.
NOTE: Sensors may be identified by valve stem cap color. From the factory, 315 MHz sensors
have a gray valve stem cap while 433 MHz sensors have a black valve stem cap. Otherwise, once
mounted inside a tire and wheel assembly you are not able to visually tell the difference between a
315 MHz and 433 MHz sensor. At that point, the TPM-RKE Analyzer, Special Tool 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.
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 > Sensors and Switches - Wheels and Tires > Tire Pressure
Sensor > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 1727
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 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, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor's operating mode to PARK MODE
and to help diagnose a faulty TPM sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to
force a transmission from a sensor.
The TPM sensor can be in one of the following operating modes:
- SLEEP MODE - This is the operating mode of a new TPM sensor. If placed on the vehicle as a
road tire, the sensor will transmit once every 20 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over
15 mph (24 km/h). Driving the vehicle continuously at this speed for more then 4 minutes will
change the sensor state to DRIVE MODE. Stopping the vehicle for 20 minutes will change the
sensor state to PARK MODE. If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a
pressure change greater then 1 psi (6.9 kPa).
- PARK MODE - This is the correct operating mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will
transmit once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 1 psi (6.9 kPa) delta
change. The sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to
determine a change in tire pressure.
- 30 BLOCK MODE - If the vehicle has been stopped for more then 20 minutes, or if the sensor's
operating mode was forced to PARK MODE using a TPM-RKE Analyzer, the sensor's operating
mode will transition from PARK MODE to 30 BLOCK MODE once the vehicle is driven over 15
mph. In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every 15 seconds when the vehicle is driven at
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h) for the first 30 transmissions. After about 8 minutes of continuous
driving above 15 mph (24 km/h), the sensor's mode will change to DRIVE MODE.
- DRIVE MODE - In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every minute when the vehicle is
driven at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). At any time the vehicle speed drops below 15 mph, the
sensor will not transmit. The sensor mode will still be in drive mode when the sensor reaches
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h), unless the vehicle has been stationary for more then 20 minutes.
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the wireless control module (WCM)
can monitor the state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The WCM can
automatically learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 10 minutes continuously above
15 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 WCM 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.
2. Remove wheel mounting nuts (3), then tire and wheel assembly (1).
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.

Tire Pressure Monitor Receiver / Transponder: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A transponder, sometimes referred to as a trigger module, is located in three of the four wheel
wells (behind the wheelhouse splash shields) of a vehicle equipped with Premium TPM. These
transponders are used to provide the Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as
the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM), with the location of the tire pressure sensors on
the vehicle. A fourth transponder is not necessary in the remaining wheel well due to the
process-of-elimination theory. Once the system knows the location of the first three sensors it
assumes the location of the fourth tire pressure sensor. On this vehicle, there is a transponder
located in the left front, left rear, and right rear wheelhouse. There is not a transponder located in
the right front wheelhouse.

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

The Export TPM system operates on a 433 MHz radio frequency. The 433 MHz sensors can be
easily identified by either a solid white oval insignia (3) on the body or...
... a solid white oval insignia (3) with 433 printed in the center. The sensors are identical except for
the oval insignia. The 433 MHz sensors can either have a black or grey sensor body.
CAUTION: Although 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and shape, they are not
interchangeable. Always make sure the correct sensor is being used.
NOTE: Sensors may be identified by valve stem cap color. From the factory, 315 MHz sensors
have a gray valve stem cap while 433 MHz sensors have a black valve stem cap. Otherwise, once
mounted inside a tire and wheel assembly you are not able to visually tell the difference between a
315 MHz and 433 MHz sensor. At that point, the TPM-RKE Analyzer, Special Tool 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.
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.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 1765
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 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, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor's operating mode to PARK MODE
and to help diagnose a faulty TPM sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to
force a transmission from a sensor.
The TPM sensor can be in one of the following operating modes:
- SLEEP MODE - This is the operating mode of a new TPM sensor. If placed on the vehicle as a
road tire, the sensor will transmit once every 20 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over
15 mph (24 km/h). Driving the vehicle continuously at this speed for more then 4 minutes will
change the sensor state to DRIVE MODE. Stopping the vehicle for 20 minutes will change the
sensor state to PARK MODE. If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a
pressure change greater then 1 psi (6.9 kPa).
- PARK MODE - This is the correct operating mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will
transmit once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 1 psi (6.9 kPa) delta
change. The sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to
determine a change in tire pressure.
- 30 BLOCK MODE - If the vehicle has been stopped for more then 20 minutes, or if the sensor's
operating mode was forced to PARK MODE using a TPM-RKE Analyzer, the sensor's operating
mode will transition from PARK MODE to 30 BLOCK MODE once the vehicle is driven over 15
mph. In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every 15 seconds when the vehicle is driven at
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h) for the first 30 transmissions. After about 8 minutes of continuous
driving above 15 mph (24 km/h), the sensor's mode will change to DRIVE MODE.
- DRIVE MODE - In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every minute when the vehicle is
driven at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). At any time the vehicle speed drops below 15 mph, the
sensor will not transmit. The sensor mode will still be in drive mode when the sensor reaches
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h), unless the vehicle has been stationary for more then 20 minutes.
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the wireless control module (WCM)
can monitor the state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The WCM can
automatically learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 10 minutes continuously above
15 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 WCM 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.

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
WHEEL
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 must 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: DaimlerChrysler Corporation does not recommend that customers use "reconditioned"
wheels (wheels that have been damaged and repaired) because they can result in a sudden
catastrophic wheel failure which could cause loss of control and result in injury or death. For
clarification:
- Cosmetic refinishing for the purpose of repairing a superficial flaw is an acceptable procedure
providing it is limited to paint or clear coat only, the wheel is not modified in any way, and there is
no exposure to paint curing heat over 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Damaged wheels are those which have been bent, broken, cracked or sustained some other
physical damage which may have compromised the wheel structure.
- Repaired indicates that the wheel has been modified through bending, welding, heating,
straightening, or material removal to rectify damage.
- Re-plating of chrome plated wheels is not an acceptable procedure nor is chrome plating of
original equipment painted or polished wheels, as this may alter mechanical properties and affect
fatigue life.

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 & 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.

Wheel Bearing: Description and Operation Front Suspension
DESCRIPTION
The wheel bearing (5) and hub (3) are pressed into the knuckle (1). The wheel bearing is secured
in place using a snap ring.
One side of the wheel bearing has an integrated magnetic encoder ring for wheel speed sensor
usage as equipped. It is important that the wheel speed sensor magnetic encoder ring (dark band)
(3) be positioned to the inside of the knuckle or the wheel speed sensor will not operate correctly.
The wheel bearing is a Unit 1 type cartridge bearing that requires no maintenance. The wheel
bearing can be serviced separately from the hub.
The hub supports the driveline halfshaft outer constant velocity (C/V) joint. Each is splined and
meshes in the center of the hub. The outer C/V joint is retained to the hub using a nut. The nut is
locked to the outer C/V stub shaft using a cotter pin.
The hub has five studs pressed into its flange.

Wheel Bearing: Description and Operation Rear Suspension
DESCRIPTION
The rear wheel bearing and wheel mounting hub used on this vehicle are a one-piece sealed unit
or hub and bearing assembly. It is permanently lubricated when assembled and is sealed for life.
There is no periodic lubrication or maintenance recommended for these units.
The hub and bearing (5) is mounted to the trailing link (1).
All vehicles have a magnetic encoder integrated into the right rear hub and bearing for speed
sense. Vehicles equipped with antilock brakes have a magnetic encoder integrated into both rear
hub and bearings. The encoder works with the rear wheel speed sensors to provide wheel speed
signal. The sensor mounts by screw to the rear of the front-wheel-drive hub and bearing while the
sensor clips to the rear of the all-wheel-drive hub and bearing.
The only serviceable components of the hub and bearing are the wheel mounting studs pressed
into the hub.

WHEEL BEARING AND HUB
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 wheel bearing and hub.
1. Remove the wheel and tire assembly, disc brake caliper and brake rotor. 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 bearing
replacement. Moderate grease weeping from the bearing is considered normal and should not
require replacement of the wheel bearing.
To diagnose a bent hub, measure hub runout. Refer to Brakes and Traction Control/Testing and
inspection.

Variable Valve Timing Solenoid: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
There is both an Intake and an exhaust camshaft sensor on vehicles equipped with a World
Engine. The variable valve timing system used on World Engines requires the exact position of
both the intake and exhaust camshaft. The GPEC1 uses camshaft sensor data along with
crankshaft data to determine the actual position of the camshafts. Intake and exhaust phaser oil
control valves are required on World Engine vehicles using variable valve timing. The oil valves
direct oil to the Intake and exhaust phasers. Oil pressure in the phasers moves the camshafts to an
advanced or retarded position.
To resolve this inherent conflict between optimum high and low speed valve timing, the GPEC1
controlled engine uses a variable valve timing system. The variable valve timing system advances
and retards valve timing by rotating the position of both the intake and exhaust camshafts. With this
system, the intake valve opening can range from 80 to 120 crankshaft degrees after Top Dead
Center. Likewise, the exhaust valve opening can range from 85 to 120 crankshaft degrees before
Top Dead Center. This degree of flexibility provides many benefits, including: Improved Engine
Performance, Increased Fuel Economy, Improved Idle Stability and Decreased Engine Emissions.
In non operating condition, the camshaft stays in lockpin position of cam phases. This is 120
degrees ATDC for intake camshaft and 120 degrees BTDC for exhaust camshaft.
The variable valve timing system is electronically controlled and hydraulically operated. The
GPEC1 receives information from many sensors to determine the optimum valve timing. It then
pulse-width modulates oil control valves which direct oil to the cam phasers. The cam phasers use
oil pressure to rotate the intake and exhaust camshafts. The rotation of the camshafts is referred to
as cam phasing. Before the GPEC1 can begin commanding the camshaft phasing, several
enabling conditions must be met:
- The engine oil temperature must be at least -6.6° C (20° F)
- The oil control valve coil temperature must be less than 140° C (284° F)
- Engine speed must be at least 600 to 1000 rpm to achieve minimum oil pressure.
- Battery voltage must be at least 10 volts
- And there must be no camshaft or crankshaft sensor faults, engine timing faults, or oil control
valve faults
First we will examine variable valve timing enabling conditions, and then we will take a closer look
at the inputs and outputs of the system:
- Accelerator pedal position sensor
- Oil temperature sensor
- Map sensor
- Intake cam sensor
- Exhaust cam sensor
- Crankshaft sensor
- GPEC1
- Exhaust phaser oil control valve
- Intake phaser oil control valve
- Inputs
- Engine control module
- Outputs
- Sensed battery voltage
A minimum oil temperature is required to enable variable valve timing operation. Oil temperature
and viscosity also have an impact on the operation of variable valve timing after start-up. Oil is
used to control the movement of the camshafts. An incorrect oil viscosity could adversely affect the
operation of the system or even render the system inoperative. It may even set a fault code.
The accelerator pedal position sensor indicates how far the driver wants to open the throttle plate.
The GPEC1 calculates an initial camshaft set point based on whether the accelerator pedal is at
part throttle or wide open throttle.
The MAP sensor provides information regarding engine load.
Sensed battery voltage provides information regarding current system voltage. Sensed battery
voltage must be at least 10 volts in order for the oil control valves to function properly.
This information allows the GPEC1 to adjust camshaft timing to achieve the best fuel economy, the
best engine performance or a combination of both. The hall-effect crankshaft sensor provides RPM
information and determines when the number one piston is approaching Top Dead Center. The
sensor generates a signal as the tone wheel, attached to the crankshaft, rotates. The tone wheel
has 60 teeth minus two. When the gap, created by the missing teeth passes by the sensor, a signal
is produced that indicates the number one piston is at Top Dead Center. The GPEC1 uses
crankshaft sensor data along with camshaft data to determine the actual position of the camshaft.
There are two hall-effect camshaft sensors on engines equipped with variable valve timing. The
GPEC1 uses camshaft sensor data along with crankshaft data to determine the actual position of
the camshaft.
The GPEC1 individually controls each valve. It sends a pulse width modulated signal to move a
spool within the outer casing of the valve. Depending upon spool movement, oil is directed through
the passages to advance or retard cam timing. The oil control valve also has a special cleaning
strategy at
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Actuators and Solenoids - Engine > Variable Valve
Timing Solenoid > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 1850
key-on. The cleaning strategy is known as "debris crush mode". At key-on the GPEC1 cycles the
oil control valve on and off several (5) times to crush any debris in the oil control valve and prevent
the spool valve from sticking. In non operating condition, the camshaft stays in lockpin position of
cam phases. This is 120 degrees ATDC for intake camshaft and 120 degrees BTDC for exhaust
camshaft.
There are two oil control valves. One valve directs oil to the intake cam phaser, the other valve
directs oil to the exhaust cam phaser. The valves are designed and function in the same manner.
The outer casing of each oil valve has five oil passages. A passage for pressurized supply oil. A
passage to the advance chamber of the cam phaser. A passage to the retard chamber of the cam
phaser. A passage for oil return from the advance chamber of the cam phaser. A passage for oil
return from the retard chamber of the cam phaser. Oil flows through the passages and applies
pressure to the cam phasers to change cam timing.
There are two cam phasers. One phaser controls the position of the intake camshaft. The other
phaser controls the position of the exhaust camshaft. The phasers consist of a sprocket, a rotor
vane, and a housing or stator. The exhaust cam phaser also consists of a front bushing and spring.
We will discuss the purpose and function of the bushing and spring later. The housing is bolted and
permanently fixed to the camshaft sprocket, while the rotor vane is bolted and permanently fixed to
the camshaft. With this design, any movement of the rotor vane in relation to the housing will also
move the camshaft. The phaser and sprocket are serviced as an assembly.
Camshaft and crankshaft sensors provide feedback to the GPEC1 regarding the actual position of
the camshafts. The GPEC1 then compares the actual camshaft positioning with desired
positioning. If the desired positioning is not achieved within a specified time, during the second key
cycle a trouble code is set.
There are six new diagnostic trouble codes available to help you determine if the control circuit
from the GPEC1 to the oil control valve is intact and operating properly. The codes identify whether
the control circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to power. Three trouble codes are related
to intake camshaft positioning, the other three codes are specific to exhaust camshaft positioning.
The oil control valve contains both electrical and mechanical components. It is electrically
controlled by the GPEC1. The electrical current that energizes the coil results in mechanical motion
of the spool valve. It is possible to verify both the electrical and mechanical operation of the valve.
The oil control valve consists of a coil that is energized to move a spool within an outer casing. The
condition of the coil can be tested with a Digital Volt Ohmmeter or DVOM. With the DVOM set to
measure resistance, check the coil for an open, a short to ground, or excessive resistance. The
correct resistance value of the coil is between 6 and 8 ohms. The mechanical operation of the oil
control valve can be tested using actuator commands on the scan tool. Remove the oil control
valve, then navigate to the actuator menu and select the oil control valve. Use commands to
activate the valve and watch as the spool valve moves back and forth inside the casing.
Because the cam phasers are hydraulically operated by engine oil, the condition of the oil is very
important. The oil must be of the correct viscosity, not obstructed by debris, to maintain correct
pressure. Maintaining the correct oil viscosity is critical to the operation of the variable valve timing
system. The wrong oil viscosity may cause the variable valve timing to malfunction and trouble
codes to set. The correct oil viscosity for this system is 5W20. Oil must be clean, unobstructed and
free to flow through the variable valve timing system. Oil could become obstructed in oil passages
located in the cylinder head, cylinder block, or even in the oil screen. In the event oil flow is
obstructed, further diagnosis or disassembly may be required to pin point the source of the
obstruction. The variable valve timing system relies on oil pressure to advance or retard the
position of the camshaft. Insufficient oil pressure will adversely affect the operation of variable valve
timing. The minimum oil pressure for this system is 15 psi at normal operating temperature.
Though not directly used to change camshaft positioning, the oil screen is an important component
of the variable valve timing system. It helps to remove debris going to the variable valve timing
components. The oil screen is located in the cylinder block, immediately below the cylinder head.
Oil must pass through the oil screen before entering the oil control valve. The cylinder head must
be removed to service the oil screen. The intention is not to service the oil screen during vehicle
life.
How the cam phaser works. The cam phaser assembly has eight separate chambers; four advance
chambers and four retard chambers. When camshaft advance is requested, oil enters all four
advance chambers and exerts force on the rotor vane. Because the rotor vane is bolted to the
camshaft, the entire camshaft profile moves along with the rotor vane. At the same time, oil is
forced out of the retard chambers. When camshaft retard is requested oil enters the retard
chambers to move the camshaft in the opposite direction. There is a lock pin on one side of the
rotor vane that fits inside a recessed area in the housing. The lock pin ensures that the default
position of the intake cam phaser is 120 crankshaft degrees full retard and the default position of
the exhaust cam phaser is 120 crankshaft degrees full advance. When the engine is turned off,
rotational force and inertia move the intake camshaft and rotor vane toward the retard position. The
exhaust cam phaser includes a spring and bushing to work against the rotational force of the
engine, allowing the exhaust cam phaser to lock in the fully advanced position. Under most
conditions the cam phasers are returned to lock pin position when the engine is turned off. In the
unique condition of an engine stall, which abruptly shuts off the engine, the cam phasers may not
return to the lock pin position. In this case, the phasers will return to the lock pin position at the next
start-up. Lock pin position is the most ideal cam timing for idle stability. When engine rpm exceeds
approximately 600 to 1000 rpm, oil pressure unlocks the pins and variable valve timing resumes.
Once enabling conditions are met, the GPEC1 uses input from sensors to calculate optimum valve
timing.
There are four preprogrammed modes from which the GPEC1 bases initial valve timing.
- Starting
- Idle or Part throttle
- Wide open throttle
- Limp-in or Default
From each preprogrammed mode, the GPEC1 adjusts valve timing based on operating conditions.

GPEC1 has calculated optimum intake valve timing of 112 degrees after Top Dead Center and
optimum exhaust valve timing of 97 degrees before Top Dead Center. The GPEC1 pulse width
modulates the oil control valves to advance or retard the camshaft to their desired location. The
spool valve inside the intake oil control valve is energized and moves to allow pressurized oil into
the advance chambers of the intake cam phaser. At the same time, the spool valve inside the
exhaust oil control valve is energized and moves to allow pressurized oil into the retard chambers
of the exhaust cam phaser. Oil enters the advance chambers of the intake phaser and the retard
chambers of the exhaust phaser. Oil pressure releases the lock pin from its locked position and
pushes against the rotor vane. Both the rotor vanes are moved, advancing the intake camshaft and
retarding the exhaust camshaft.

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 engine cover. 4. Disconnect coil electrical connectors and remove coils. 5. Remove all
spark plugs from engine. As spark plugs are being removed, check electrodes for abnormal firing
indicators fouled, hot, oily, etc.
Record cylinder number of spark plug for future reference.
6. Disconnect injector electrical connectors. 7. Be sure throttle blade is fully open during the
compression check. 8. Insert compression gauge adaptor 8116 or the equivalent, into the #1 spark
plug hole in cylinder head. Connect the 0-500 psi (Blue) pressure
transducer CH7059 with cable adaptors to the DRBIII(R).
9. Crank engine until maximum pressure is reached on gauge. Record this pressure as #1 cylinder
pressure.
10. Repeat the previous step for all remaining cylinders. 11. Compression should not be less than
1034 kPa (150 psi) and not vary more than 25 percent from cylinder to cylinder. 12. If one or more
cylinders have abnormally low compression pressures, repeat the compression test. 13. 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.

Camshaft Gear/Sprocket: Description and Operation Variable Valve Timing Assembly - Description
DESCRIPTION
The world engine is equipped with Variable Valve Timing (VVT). This system advances and/or
retards intake and/or exhaust camshaft timing to improve engine performance, mid-range torque,
idle quality, fuel economy, and reduce emissions. The camshaft sprockets are integrated with the
VVT assemblies and are serviced as an assembly. VVT assemblies are sometimes referred to as
camshaft phasers.

Camshaft Gear/Sprocket: Description and Operation Variable Valve Timing Assembly - Operation
OPERATION
The Variable Valve Timing (VVT) assemblies are actuated with engine oil pressure. The oil flow to
the VVT assemblies are controlled by two Oil Control Valves (OCV). There is an OCV and
Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) for each camshaft. The OCV's consist of a Pulse Width
Modulated (PWM) solenoid and a spool valve. The PCM actuates the OCV to control oil flow
through the spool valve into the VVT assemblies. The VVT assembly consists of a rotor, stator, and
sprocket. The stator is connected to the timing chain through the sprocket. The rotor is connected
to the camshaft. Oil flow in to the VVT assembly rotates the rotor with respect to the stator, thus
rotating the camshaft with respect to the timing chain. Thus, the VVT assemblies change valve
timing by changing the relationship between the camshaft and the timing chain. An infinitely
variable valve timing position can be achieved within the limits of the hardware. The CMP monitors
the position of the camshaft with respect to the crankshaft and provides feedback to the PCM.

Camshaft: Description and Operation Camshaft - Description
CAMSHAFTS
Both camshafts have five bearing journal surfaces and two cam lobes per cylinder. The two front
journals are larger to allow for feeding oil to the variable valve timing (VVT) camshaft phasers.
Flanges on the third smaller journal control camshaft end play. At the rear of each camshaft is an
integral cam sensor target.
CAMSHAFT BEARING CAPS
The front cam bearing cap spans both camshafts, and includes dowels for precise alignment. The
front exhaust journal has a select fit bearing insert. This bearing is required to seal the oil passage
to the camshaft phaser, because a portion of the lower bearing saddle is machined away for head
bolt access. The select fit is required to minimize bearing clearance and oil leakage. An exhaust
bearing grade (1, 2 or 3) is stamped into the front bearing cap adjacent to the exhaust cam journal.
The bearings are also marked with the corresponding grade markings. If the bearing is replaced,
the same grade must be used. Due to unique purpose of this bearing, it may appear to have
uneven wear patterns. Unless the wear is excessive it is no cause for concern.
The front intake journal has a full lower bearing saddle, and therefore, no bearing insert is required.
All small bearing caps have a formed in arrow to assist in assembly. All small bearing cap arrows
must point towards the center of the cylinder head. The small bearing caps are marked for position
during the manufacturing process, and must be reinstalled in their original position.
The #1 cap includes a passage to direct oil from the cylinder head oil gallery to the #1 small
bearing journal. Through the #2 journal oil is fed into the camshaft as well. The hollow camshaft
then distributes oil to the remainder of the small journals.
The #3 small cap is machined at the front and rear face to control camshaft end-play. This cap has
dowels for precise alignment.

Connecting Rod Bearing: Service and Repair Measuring Bearing Clearance Using Plastigage
MEASURING BEARING CLEARANCE USING PLASTIGAGE
Engine crankshaft bearing clearances can be determined by use of Plastigage or equivalent. The
following is the recommended procedure for the use of Plastigage:
1. Remove oil film from surface to be checked. Plastigage is soluble in oil. 2. Place a piece of
Plastigage (1) across the entire width of the journal. (In addition, suspected areas can be checked
by placing the Plastigage in the
suspected area). Torque the bearing cap bolts of the bearing being checked to the proper
specifications.
3. Remove the bearing cap and compare the width of the flattened Plastigage with the scale
provided on the package. Locate the band closest to the
same width. This band shows the amount of clearance. Differences in readings between the ends
indicate the amount of taper present. Record all readings taken. Compare clearance
measurements to specs found in engine specifications Refer to ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
Plastigage generally is accompanied by two scales. One scale is in inches, the other is a metric
scale.
NOTE: Plastigage is available in a variety of clearance ranges. Use the most appropriate range for
the specifications you are checking.
4. Install the proper crankshaft bearings to achieve the specified bearing clearances.

Engine Block Heater: Description and Operation Engine Block Heater - Operation
OPERATION
The block heater element is inserted into a bore in the engine block. When electrical power (110
volt A.C.) is applied to the element, it creates heat. This heat is transferred to the aluminum engine
block. This provides easier engine starting and faster warm-up when vehicle is operated in areas
having extremely low temperatures.

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection
ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT
VISUAL DIAGNOSIS
When diagnosing serpentine accessory drive belts, small cracks that run across the ribbed surface
of the belt from rib to rib (1), are considered normal. These are not a reason to replace the belt.
However, cracks running along a rib (not across) (2) are not normal. Any belt with cracks running
along a rib must be replaced. Also replace the belt if it has excessive wear, frayed cords or severe
glazing.
Refer to ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT DIAGNOSIS CHART for further belt diagnosis.
NOISE DIAGNOSIS
Noises generated by the accessory drive belt are most noticeable at idle. Before replacing a belt to
resolve a noise condition, inspect all of the accessory drive pulleys for contamination, alignment,
glazing, or excessive end play.

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

Engine Oil: Testing and Inspection
ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK
NOTE: The engine must be HOT when checking oil level.
The best time to check engine oil level is after the engine is at operating temperature. Allow the
engine to be shut off for at least 5 minutes before checking oil level.
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.

Camshaft Gear/Sprocket: Description and Operation Variable Valve Timing Assembly - Description
DESCRIPTION
The world engine is equipped with Variable Valve Timing (VVT). This system advances and/or
retards intake and/or exhaust camshaft timing to improve engine performance, mid-range torque,
idle quality, fuel economy, and reduce emissions. The camshaft sprockets are integrated with the
VVT assemblies and are serviced as an assembly. VVT assemblies are sometimes referred to as
camshaft phasers.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))

Component Information > Description and Operation > Variable Valve Timing Assembly - Description > Page 2322
Camshaft Gear/Sprocket: Description and Operation Variable Valve Timing Assembly - Operation
OPERATION
The Variable Valve Timing (VVT) assemblies are actuated with engine oil pressure. The oil flow to
the VVT assemblies are controlled by two Oil Control Valves (OCV). There is an OCV and
Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) for each camshaft. The OCV's consist of a Pulse Width
Modulated (PWM) solenoid and a spool valve. The PCM actuates the OCV to control oil flow
through the spool valve into the VVT assemblies. The VVT assembly consists of a rotor, stator, and
sprocket. The stator is connected to the timing chain through the sprocket. The rotor is connected
to the camshaft. Oil flow in to the VVT assembly rotates the rotor with respect to the stator, thus
rotating the camshaft with respect to the timing chain. Thus, the VVT assemblies change valve
timing by changing the relationship between the camshaft and the timing chain. An infinitely
variable valve timing position can be achieved within the limits of the hardware. The CMP monitors
the position of the camshaft with respect to the crankshaft and provides feedback to the PCM.

Variable Valve Timing Solenoid: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Variable valve timing solenoid assembly. The solenoid receives pulse width modulation signal and
the current is controlled within 0 ma to 1000 ma. The spool position is controllable at any position to
control supply of oil between the advance and retard ports.

Variable Valve Timing Solenoid: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
There is both an Intake and an exhaust camshaft sensor on vehicles equipped with a World
Engine. The variable valve timing system used on World Engines requires the exact position of
both the intake and exhaust camshaft. The GPEC1 uses camshaft sensor data along with
crankshaft data to determine the actual position of the camshafts. Intake and exhaust phaser oil
control valves are required on World Engine vehicles using variable valve timing. The oil valves
direct oil to the Intake and exhaust phasers. Oil pressure in the phasers moves the camshafts to an
advanced or retarded position.
To resolve this inherent conflict between optimum high and low speed valve timing, the GPEC1
controlled engine uses a variable valve timing system. The variable valve timing system advances
and retards valve timing by rotating the position of both the intake and exhaust camshafts. With this
system, the intake valve opening can range from 80 to 120 crankshaft degrees after Top Dead
Center. Likewise, the exhaust valve opening can range from 85 to 120 crankshaft degrees before
Top Dead Center. This degree of flexibility provides many benefits, including: Improved Engine
Performance, Increased Fuel Economy, Improved Idle Stability and Decreased Engine Emissions.
In non operating condition, the camshaft stays in lockpin position of cam phases. This is 120
degrees ATDC for intake camshaft and 120 degrees BTDC for exhaust camshaft.
The variable valve timing system is electronically controlled and hydraulically operated. The
GPEC1 receives information from many sensors to determine the optimum valve timing. It then
pulse-width modulates oil control valves which direct oil to the cam phasers. The cam phasers use
oil pressure to rotate the intake and exhaust camshafts. The rotation of the camshafts is referred to
as cam phasing. Before the GPEC1 can begin commanding the camshaft phasing, several
enabling conditions must be met:
- The engine oil temperature must be at least -6.6° C (20° F)
- The oil control valve coil temperature must be less than 140° C (284° F)
- Engine speed must be at least 600 to 1000 rpm to achieve minimum oil pressure.
- Battery voltage must be at least 10 volts
- And there must be no camshaft or crankshaft sensor faults, engine timing faults, or oil control
valve faults
First we will examine variable valve timing enabling conditions, and then we will take a closer look
at the inputs and outputs of the system:
- Accelerator pedal position sensor
- Oil temperature sensor
- Map sensor
- Intake cam sensor
- Exhaust cam sensor
- Crankshaft sensor
- GPEC1
- Exhaust phaser oil control valve
- Intake phaser oil control valve
- Inputs
- Engine control module
- Outputs
- Sensed battery voltage
A minimum oil temperature is required to enable variable valve timing operation. Oil temperature
and viscosity also have an impact on the operation of variable valve timing after start-up. Oil is
used to control the movement of the camshafts. An incorrect oil viscosity could adversely affect the
operation of the system or even render the system inoperative. It may even set a fault code.
The accelerator pedal position sensor indicates how far the driver wants to open the throttle plate.
The GPEC1 calculates an initial camshaft set point based on whether the accelerator pedal is at
part throttle or wide open throttle.
The MAP sensor provides information regarding engine load.
Sensed battery voltage provides information regarding current system voltage. Sensed battery
voltage must be at least 10 volts in order for the oil control valves to function properly.
This information allows the GPEC1 to adjust camshaft timing to achieve the best fuel economy, the
best engine performance or a combination of both. The hall-effect crankshaft sensor provides RPM
information and determines when the number one piston is approaching Top Dead Center. The
sensor generates a signal as the tone wheel, attached to the crankshaft, rotates. The tone wheel
has 60 teeth minus two. When the gap, created by the missing teeth passes by the sensor, a signal
is produced that indicates the number one piston is at Top Dead Center. The GPEC1 uses
crankshaft sensor data along with camshaft data to determine the actual position of the camshaft.
There are two hall-effect camshaft sensors on engines equipped with variable valve timing. The
GPEC1 uses camshaft sensor data along with crankshaft data to determine the actual position of
the camshaft.
The GPEC1 individually controls each valve. It sends a pulse width modulated signal to move a
spool within the outer casing of the valve. Depending upon spool movement, oil is directed through
the passages to advance or retard cam timing. The oil control valve also has a special cleaning
strategy at
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Timing Components > Variable Valve Timing >
Variable Valve Timing Solenoid > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 2389
key-on. The cleaning strategy is known as "debris crush mode". At key-on the GPEC1 cycles the
oil control valve on and off several (5) times to crush any debris in the oil control valve and prevent
the spool valve from sticking. In non operating condition, the camshaft stays in lockpin position of
cam phases. This is 120 degrees ATDC for intake camshaft and 120 degrees BTDC for exhaust
camshaft.
There are two oil control valves. One valve directs oil to the intake cam phaser, the other valve
directs oil to the exhaust cam phaser. The valves are designed and function in the same manner.
The outer casing of each oil valve has five oil passages. A passage for pressurized supply oil. A
passage to the advance chamber of the cam phaser. A passage to the retard chamber of the cam
phaser. A passage for oil return from the advance chamber of the cam phaser. A passage for oil
return from the retard chamber of the cam phaser. Oil flows through the passages and applies
pressure to the cam phasers to change cam timing.
There are two cam phasers. One phaser controls the position of the intake camshaft. The other
phaser controls the position of the exhaust camshaft. The phasers consist of a sprocket, a rotor
vane, and a housing or stator. The exhaust cam phaser also consists of a front bushing and spring.
We will discuss the purpose and function of the bushing and spring later. The housing is bolted and
permanently fixed to the camshaft sprocket, while the rotor vane is bolted and permanently fixed to
the camshaft. With this design, any movement of the rotor vane in relation to the housing will also
move the camshaft. The phaser and sprocket are serviced as an assembly.
Camshaft and crankshaft sensors provide feedback to the GPEC1 regarding the actual position of
the camshafts. The GPEC1 then compares the actual camshaft positioning with desired
positioning. If the desired positioning is not achieved within a specified time, during the second key
cycle a trouble code is set.
There are six new diagnostic trouble codes available to help you determine if the control circuit
from the GPEC1 to the oil control valve is intact and operating properly. The codes identify whether
the control circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to power. Three trouble codes are related
to intake camshaft positioning, the other three codes are specific to exhaust camshaft positioning.
The oil control valve contains both electrical and mechanical components. It is electrically
controlled by the GPEC1. The electrical current that energizes the coil results in mechanical motion
of the spool valve. It is possible to verify both the electrical and mechanical operation of the valve.
The oil control valve consists of a coil that is energized to move a spool within an outer casing. The
condition of the coil can be tested with a Digital Volt Ohmmeter or DVOM. With the DVOM set to
measure resistance, check the coil for an open, a short to ground, or excessive resistance. The
correct resistance value of the coil is between 6 and 8 ohms. The mechanical operation of the oil
control valve can be tested using actuator commands on the scan tool. Remove the oil control
valve, then navigate to the actuator menu and select the oil control valve. Use commands to
activate the valve and watch as the spool valve moves back and forth inside the casing.
Because the cam phasers are hydraulically operated by engine oil, the condition of the oil is very
important. The oil must be of the correct viscosity, not obstructed by debris, to maintain correct
pressure. Maintaining the correct oil viscosity is critical to the operation of the variable valve timing
system. The wrong oil viscosity may cause the variable valve timing to malfunction and trouble
codes to set. The correct oil viscosity for this system is 5W20. Oil must be clean, unobstructed and
free to flow through the variable valve timing system. Oil could become obstructed in oil passages
located in the cylinder head, cylinder block, or even in the oil screen. In the event oil flow is
obstructed, further diagnosis or disassembly may be required to pin point the source of the
obstruction. The variable valve timing system relies on oil pressure to advance or retard the
position of the camshaft. Insufficient oil pressure will adversely affect the operation of variable valve
timing. The minimum oil pressure for this system is 15 psi at normal operating temperature.
Though not directly used to change camshaft positioning, the oil screen is an important component
of the variable valve timing system. It helps to remove debris going to the variable valve timing
components. The oil screen is located in the cylinder block, immediately below the cylinder head.
Oil must pass through the oil screen before entering the oil control valve. The cylinder head must
be removed to service the oil screen. The intention is not to service the oil screen during vehicle
life.
How the cam phaser works. The cam phaser assembly has eight separate chambers; four advance
chambers and four retard chambers. When camshaft advance is requested, oil enters all four
advance chambers and exerts force on the rotor vane. Because the rotor vane is bolted to the
camshaft, the entire camshaft profile moves along with the rotor vane. At the same time, oil is
forced out of the retard chambers. When camshaft retard is requested oil enters the retard
chambers to move the camshaft in the opposite direction. There is a lock pin on one side of the
rotor vane that fits inside a recessed area in the housing. The lock pin ensures that the default
position of the intake cam phaser is 120 crankshaft degrees full retard and the default position of
the exhaust cam phaser is 120 crankshaft degrees full advance. When the engine is turned off,
rotational force and inertia move the intake camshaft and rotor vane toward the retard position. The
exhaust cam phaser includes a spring and bushing to work against the rotational force of the
engine, allowing the exhaust cam phaser to lock in the fully advanced position. Under most
conditions the cam phasers are returned to lock pin position when the engine is turned off. In the
unique condition of an engine stall, which abruptly shuts off the engine, the cam phasers may not
return to the lock pin position. In this case, the phasers will return to the lock pin position at the next
start-up. Lock pin position is the most ideal cam timing for idle stability. When engine rpm exceeds
approximately 600 to 1000 rpm, oil pressure unlocks the pins and variable valve timing resumes.
Once enabling conditions are met, the GPEC1 uses input from sensors to calculate optimum valve
timing.
There are four preprogrammed modes from which the GPEC1 bases initial valve timing.
- Starting
- Idle or Part throttle
- Wide open throttle
- Limp-in or Default
From each preprogrammed mode, the GPEC1 adjusts valve timing based on operating conditions.

GPEC1 has calculated optimum intake valve timing of 112 degrees after Top Dead Center and
optimum exhaust valve timing of 97 degrees before Top Dead Center. The GPEC1 pulse width
modulates the oil control valves to advance or retard the camshaft to their desired location. The
spool valve inside the intake oil control valve is energized and moves to allow pressurized oil into
the advance chambers of the intake cam phaser. At the same time, the spool valve inside the
exhaust oil control valve is energized and moves to allow pressurized oil into the retard chambers
of the exhaust cam phaser. Oil enters the advance chambers of the intake phaser and the retard
chambers of the exhaust phaser. Oil pressure releases the lock pin from its locked position and
pushes against the rotor vane. Both the rotor vanes are moved, advancing the intake camshaft and
retarding the exhaust camshaft.

Special care should be used when installing spark plugs in the cylinder head spark plug wells. Be
sure the plugs do not drop into the wells, damage to the electrodes can occur.
Always tighten spark plugs to the specified torque. Over tightening can cause distortion resulting in
a change in the spark plug gap. Overtightening can also damage the cylinder head.
1. To avoid cross threading, start the spark plug into the cylinder head by hand.
2. Tighten spark plugs to 17.5±2 Nm (13±2 ft. lbs.).
3. Install ignition coil on to spark plug.

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 engine cover. 4. Disconnect coil electrical connectors and remove coils. 5. Remove all
spark plugs from engine. As spark plugs are being removed, check electrodes for abnormal firing
indicators fouled, hot, oily, etc.
Record cylinder number of spark plug for future reference.
6. Disconnect injector electrical connectors. 7. Be sure throttle blade is fully open during the
compression check. 8. Insert compression gauge adaptor 8116 or the equivalent, into the #1 spark
plug hole in cylinder head. Connect the 0-500 psi (Blue) pressure
transducer CH7059 with cable adaptors to the DRBIII(R).
9. Crank engine until maximum pressure is reached on gauge. Record this pressure as #1 cylinder
pressure.
10. Repeat the previous step for all remaining cylinders. 11. Compression should not be less than
1034 kPa (150 psi) and not vary more than 25 percent from cylinder to cylinder. 12. If one or more
cylinders have abnormally low compression pressures, repeat the compression test. 13. 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: Testing and Inspection
WATER PUMP
A quick flow test to determine if the water pump is working effectively is to check heater system for
proper operation. A defective pump will not provide an adequate flow of heated coolant through the
system.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE COOLING SYSTEM PRESSURE CAP WITH THE SYSTEM
HOT AND UNDER PRESSURE BECAUSE SERIOUS BURNS FROM COOLANT CAN OCCUR.
Another flow test to help determine water pump operation is as follows:
1. Remove cooling system pressure cap. 2. Remove a small amount of coolant from the system. 3.
Start the engine and warm up until thermostat opens. 4. With the thermostat open and coolant level
low, visually inspect for coolant flow. If flow is present, the water pump is pumping coolant through
the system.

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.

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 base 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.
ETHYLENE-GLYCOL MIXTURES
CAUTION: Richer antifreeze mixtures cannot be measured with normal field equipment and can
cause problems associated with 100 percent ethylene-glycol.
The use of aluminum cylinder blocks, cylinder heads and water pumps requires special corrosion
protection. Only Mopar(R) Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 year/100,000 Mile Formula (ethylene-glycol base
coolant with corrosion inhibitors called HOAT, (Hybrid Additive Technology) is recommended. This
coolant offers the best engine cooling without corrosion when mixed with 50% distilled water to
obtain a freeze point of -37° C (-35° F).
The required ethylene-glycol (antifreeze) and water mixture depends upon the climate and vehicle
operating conditions. The antifreeze concentration must always be a minimum of 44 percent,
year-round in all climates. If percentage is lower than 44 percent, engine parts may be eroded by
cavitation, and cooling system components may be severely damaged by corrosion. Maximum
protection against freezing is provided with a 68% antifreeze concentration, which prevents
freezing down to -67.7° C (-90° F). A higher percentage will freeze at a warmer temperature. Also,
a higher percentage of antifreeze can cause the engine to overheat because the specific heat of
antifreeze is lower than that of water.
Use of 100 percent ethylene-glycol will cause formation of additive deposits in the system, as the
corrosion inhibitive additives in ethylene-glycol require the presence of water to dissolve. The
deposits act as insulation, causing temperatures to rise to as high as 149° C (300° F). This
temperature is hot enough to melt plastic and soften solder. The increased temperature can result
in engine detonation. In addition, 100 percent ethylene-glycol freezes at 22° C (-8° F).
PROPYLENE-GLYCOL MIXTURES
It's overall effective temperature range is smaller than that of ethylene-glycol. The freeze point of
50/50 propylene-glycol and water is -32° C (-26° F). 5° C higher than ethylene-glycol's freeze point.
The boiling point (protection against summer boil-over) of propylene-glycol is 125° C (257° F) at
96.5 kPa (14 psi), compared to 128° C (263° F) for ethylene-glycol. Use of propylene-glycol can
result in boil-over or freeze-up on a cooling system designed for ethylene-glycol. Propylene glycol
also has poorer heat transfer characteristics than ethylene glycol. This can increase cylinder head
temperatures under certain conditions.
Propylene-glycol/ethylene-glycol Mixtures can cause the destabilization of various corrosion
inhibitors, causing damage to the various cooling system components. Also, once ethylene-glycol
and propylene-glycol based coolants are mixed in the vehicle, conventional methods of determining
freeze point will not be accurate. Both the refractive index and specific gravity differ between
ethylene glycol and propylene glycol.

Coolant: Description and Operation Description
HOAT COOLANT
WARNING: Antifreeze is an ethylene-glycol base coolant and is harmful if swallowed or inhaled. If
swallowed, drink two glasses of water and induce vomiting. If inhaled, move to fresh air area. Seek
medical attention immediately. Do not store in open or unmarked containers. Wash skin and
clothing thoroughly after coming in contact with ethylene-glycol. Keep out of reach of children.
Dispose of glycol base coolant properly, contact your dealer or government agency for location of
collection center in your area. Do not open a cooling system when the engine is at operating
temperature or hot under pressure, personal injury can result. Avoid radiator cooling fan when
engine compartment related service is performed, personal injury can result.
CAUTION: Use of Propylene-Glycol based coolants is not recommended, as they provide less
freeze protection and less corrosion protection.
The cooling system is designed around the coolant. The coolant must accept heat from engine
metal, in the cylinder head area near the exhaust valves and engine block. Then coolant carries the
heat to the radiator where the tube/fin radiator can transfer the heat to the air.
The use of aluminum cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, and water pumps requires special corrosion
protection. Mopar(R) Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/160.00 km, (100,000 Mile) Formula (MS-9769), or
the equivalent ethylene-glycol base coolant with organic corrosion inhibitors (called HOAT, for
Hybrid Organic Additive Technology) is recommended. This coolant offers the best engine cooling
without corrosion when mixed with 50% ethylene-glycol and 50% distilled water to obtain a freeze
point of -37° C (-35° F). If it loses color or becomes contaminated, drain, flush, and replace with
fresh properly mixed coolant solution.
CAUTION: Mopar(R) Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/160.00 km (100,000) Mile Formula (MS-9769)
may not be mixed with any other type of antifreeze. Mixing of coolants other than specified
(non-HOAT or other HOAT), may result in engine damage that may not be covered under the new
vehicle warranty, and decreased corrosion protection.
COOLANT PERFORMANCE
The required ethylene-glycol (antifreeze) and water mixture depends upon climate and vehicle
operating conditions. The coolant performance of various mixtures follows:
Pure Water - Water can absorb more heat than a mixture of water and ethylene-glycol. This is for
purpose of heat transfer only. Water also freezes at a higher temperature and allows corrosion.
100 percent Ethylene-Glycol - The corrosion inhibiting additives in ethylene-glycol need the
presence of water to dissolve. Without water, additives form deposits in system. These act as
insulation causing temperature to rise to as high as 149° C (300° F). This temperature is hot
enough to melt plastic and soften solder. The increased temperature can result in engine
detonation. In addition, 100 percent ethylene-glycol freezes at -22° C (-8° F).
50/50 Ethylene-Glycol and Water - Is the recommended mixture, it provides protection against
freezing to -37° C (-34° F). The antifreeze concentration must always be a minimum of 44 percent,
year-round in all climates. If percentage is lower, engine parts may be eroded by cavitation.
Maximum protection against freezing is provided with a 68 percent antifreeze concentration, which
prevents freezing down to -67.7° C (-90° F). A higher percentage will freeze at a warmer
temperature. Also, a higher percentage of antifreeze can cause the engine to overheat because
specific heat of antifreeze is lower than that of water.
CAUTION: Richer antifreeze mixtures cannot be measured with normal field equipment and can
cause problems associated with 100 percent ethylene-glycol.
COOLANT SELECTION AND ADDITIVES
The use of aluminum cylinder blocks, cylinder heads and water pumps requires special corrosion
protection. Only Mopar(R) Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/160.000 km (100,000 Mile) Formula (glycol
base coolant with corrosion inhibitors called HOAT, for Hybrid Organic Additive Technology) is
recommended. This coolant offers the best engine cooling without corrosion when mixed with 50%
distilled water to obtain a freeze point of -37° C (-35° F). If it loses color or becomes contaminated,
drain, flush, and replace with fresh properly mixed coolant solution.
CAUTION: Do not use coolant additives that are claimed to improve engine cooling.

Coolant: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
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 propylene-glycol 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
COOLANT CONCENTRATION TESTING
Coolant concentration should be checked when any additional coolant was added to system or
after a coolant drain, flush and refill. The coolant mixture offers optimum engine cooling and
protection against corrosion when mixed to a freeze point of -37° C (-34° F) to -46° C (-50° F). The
use of a hydrometer or a refractometer can be used to test coolant concentration.
A hydrometer will test the amount of glycol in a mixture by measuring the specific gravity of the
mixture. The higher the concentration of ethylene glycol, the larger the number of balls that will
float, and higher the freeze protection (up to a maximum of 60% by volume glycol).
A refractometer Tool 8286 will test the amount of glycol in a coolant mixture by measuring the
amount a beam of light bends as it passes through the fluid.
Some coolant manufactures use other types of glycols into their coolant formulations. Propylene
glycol is the most common new coolant. However, propylene glycol based coolants do not provide
the same freezing protection and corrosion protection and is not recommended.
CAUTION: Do not mix types of coolant corrosion protection will be severely reduced.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
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.

- 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 Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: LHD model shown. RHD model similar.
The heater core (1) for the heating-A/C system is mounted within the HVAC air distribution
housing, which is located behind the instrument panel. The heater core is a heat exchanger made
of rows of tubes with fins and is positioned within the air distribution housing so that only the
selected amount of air entering the housing passes through the heater core before it is distributed
through the heating-A/C system ducts and outlets. One end of the heater core is fitted with a tank
(2) that includes the fittings for the heater core tubes (3).
The heater core can only be serviced by removing the HVAC housing from the vehicle.

Heater Core: Description and Operation 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.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Radiator Cap > Component Information >
Description and Operation > Description
Radiator Cap: Description and Operation Description
GAS ENGINES
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 (6) in the center of the cap. This valve also opens when coolant is
cooling and contracting, allowing coolant to return to radiator from coolant recovery 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 Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Radiator Cap > Component Information >
Description and Operation > Description > Page 2568
Radiator Cap: Description and Operation Operation
GAS
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 secondary gasket in the cap seals the filler neck and the primary gasket seals the cooling
system so that vacuum can be maintained, allowing coolant to be drawn back into the radiator from
the reserve container.
A vent valve in the center of the cap will remain shut as long as the cooling system is pressurized.
As the coolant cools, it contracts and creates a vacuum in cooling system. This causes the vacuum
valve to open and coolant in reserve/overflow tank to be drawn through connecting hose into
radiator. If the vacuum valve is stuck shut, or overflow hose is kinked, radiator hoses will collapse
on cool-down.

Radiator Cap: Testing and Inspection Cap-Radiator Pressure
RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP PRESSURE RELIEF TESTING
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 container 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.
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.
The pressure cap upper gasket to filler neck seal can be checked by removing the overflow hose at
the radiator 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

Radiator Cap: Testing and Inspection Radiator Pressure Cap Testing
RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP TESTING
Dip the pressure cap in water. Clean any deposits off the vent valve or its seat and apply cap to
end of the Pressure Cap Test Adaptor that is included with the Cooling System Tester 7700.
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 7700, 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.

INSPECTION
Hold the cap in your hand, top side up. The vent valve (6) at the bottom of the cap should not open.
If the valve opens, replace the cap. If the rubber seal (5) has swollen, preventing the valve from
opening, replace the cap.
Hold the cleaned cap in your hand, upside down. If any light can be seen between vent valve (6)
and the rubber seal (5), replace the cap.
A replacement cap must be of the type designed for a full pressure coolant systems. This design
ensures coolant return to the radiator.

Thermostat: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The primary thermostat is located on the front of the water plenum in the thermostat
housing/coolant inlet. The thermostat has an air bleed vent located on its flange. The air bleed vent
(1) and the locator dimple on thermostat seal provide for proper positioning of thermostat in inlet
housing.
The secondary thermostat is located in the cylinder head under the water plenum.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Thermostat, Engine Cooling > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 2609
Thermostat: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When the Engine is cold and both the primary and secondary thermostats are closed. The coolant
will circulate through the engine, heater system, and the bypass. The cooling system has no flow
through the radiator
As the engine warms up, the primary thermostat will start to open at 82° C (179° F). Coolant will
start to flow through the radiator oil cooler and transmission cooler. Coolant will flow through the
transmission oil cooler only when the primary thermostat is fully open. The primary thermostat will
fully open at 95° C (203° F).
The secondary thermostat will start to open at 95° C (203° F). This will increase the coolant flow
through the cylinder block and cylinder head and the radiator. The secondary thermostat will fully
open at 110° C (230° F).
If the thermostat is stuck open or allows coolant leakage through it, the engine will not operate at
the proper temperature for obtaining engine fuel efficiency, performance and emissions levels. If
this condition occurs, a diagnostic trouble code will be set and a MIL light will be turned on. Refer to
the Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures for further information and diagnostics provided.

Thermostat: Testing and Inspection
ENGINE COOLANT THERMOSTAT
The thermostat is operated by a wax filled chamber (pellet) which is sealed.When heated coolant
reaches a predetermined temperature the wax pellet expands enough to overcome the closing
spring and water pump pressure, which forces the valve to open. Coolant leakage into the pellet
will cause a thermostat to fail open. Do not attempt to free up a thermostat with a screwdriver.
Thermostat diagnostics is included in Totally Integrated Power Module's (TIPM) programming for
on-board diagnosis. The malfunction indicator light (MIL) will illuminate and a diagnostic trouble
code (DTC) will be set when an "open too soon" condition occurs. Do not change a thermostat for
lack of heater performance or temperature gauge position, unless a DTC is present. 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: Testing and Inspection
WATER PUMP
A quick flow test to determine if the water pump is working effectively is to check heater system for
proper operation. A defective pump will not provide an adequate flow of heated coolant through the
system.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE COOLING SYSTEM PRESSURE CAP WITH THE SYSTEM
HOT AND UNDER PRESSURE BECAUSE SERIOUS BURNS FROM COOLANT CAN OCCUR.
Another flow test to help determine water pump operation is as follows:
1. Remove cooling system pressure cap. 2. Remove a small amount of coolant from the system. 3.
Start the engine and warm up until thermostat opens. 4. With the thermostat open and coolant level
low, visually inspect for coolant flow. If flow is present, the water pump is pumping coolant through
the system.

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation Catalytic Converter
DESCRIPTION
The combination exhaust manifold/catalytic converter is attached to the intermediate pipe using
fasteners and a gasket for sealing.
WARNING: The normal operating temperature of the exhaust system is very high. Therefore, never
work around or attempt to service any part of the exhaust system until it is cooled. Special care
should be taken when working near the catalytic converter. The temperature of the converter rises
to a high level after a short period of engine operation time.
CAUTION: DO NOT remove spark plug wires from plugs or by any other means short out cylinders.
Failure of the catalytic converter can occur due to a temperature increase caused by unburned fuel
passing through the converter.
The stainless steel catalytic converter body is designed to last the life of the vehicle. Excessive
heat can result in bulging or other distortion, but excessive heat will not be the fault of the
converter. If unburned fuel enters the converter, overheating may occur. If a converter is
heat-damaged, correct the cause of the damage at the same time the converter is replaced. Also,
inspect all other components of the exhaust system for heat damage.
Unleaded gasoline must be used to avoid contaminating the catalyst core.
FWD vehicles use a catalytic converter located after the exhaust manifold and before the
I-Pipe/Muffler assembly.
AWD vehicles use a maniverter and an under floor catalytic converter. The under floor catalytic
converter is located between the maniverter and the I-Pipe/muffler assembly.
Diesel engine vehicles use a catalytic converter located between the turbocharger and the
I-Pipe/Muffler assembly.

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation Converter-Catalytic
OPERATION - GAS ENGINE
The three-way catalytic converter simultaneously converts three exhaust emissions into harmless
gases. Specifically, HC and CO emissions are converted into water (H2O) and carbon dioxide
(CO2). Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) are converted into Nitrogen (N) and Oxygen. The three-way
catalyst is most efficient in converting HC, CO and NOx at the stoichiometric air fuel ratio of 14.7:1.
The oxygen content in a catalyst is important for efficient conversion of exhaust gases. When a
high oxygen content (lean) air/fuel ratio is present for an extended period, oxygen content in a
catalyst can reach a maximum. When a rich air/fuel ratio is present for an extended period, the
oxygen content in the catalyst can become totally depleted. When this occurs, the catalyst fails to
convert the gases. This is known as catalyst "punch through."
Catalyst operation is dependent on its ability to store and release the oxygen needed to complete
the emissions-reducing chemical reactions. As a catalyst deteriorates, its ability to store oxygen is
reduced. Since the catalyst's ability to store oxygen is somewhat related to proper operation,
oxygen storage can be used as an indicator of catalyst performance. Refer to the appropriate
Diagnostic Information for diagnosis of a catalyst related Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
The combustion reaction caused by the catalyst releases additional heat in the exhaust system,
causing temperature increases in the area of the reactor under severe operating conditions. Such
conditions can exist when the engine misfires or otherwise does not operate at peak efficiency. Do
not remove spark plug wires from plugs or by any other means short out cylinders. Failure of the
catalytic converter can occur due to temperature increases caused by unburned fuel passing
through the converter. This deterioration of the catalyst core can result in excessively high emission
levels, noise complaints, and exhaust restrictions.
Unleaded gasoline must be used to avoid ruining the catalyst core. Do not allow engine to operate
above 1200 RPM in neutral for extended periods over 5 minutes. This condition may result in
excessive exhaust system/floor pan temperatures because of no air movement under the vehicle.
The flex joint allows flexing as the engine moves, preventing breakage that could occur from the
back-and-forth motion of a transverse mounted engine.
CAUTION: Due to exterior physical similarities of some catalytic converters with pipe assemblies,
extreme care should be taken with replacement parts. There are internal converter differences
required in some parts of the country (particularly vehicles built for States with strict emission
requirements) and between model years.

WARNING: The normal operating temperature of the exhaust system is very high. Therefore, never
attempt to service any part of the exhaust system until it is cooled. Special care should be taken
when working near the catalytic converter. The temperature of the converter rises to a high level
after a short period of engine operation time.
Check catalytic converter for a flow restriction.

NOTE:
The model years and vehicles above must be equipped (optional) with Sentry Key Theft Deterrent
System (sales code GXX) for this bulletin to apply.
DISCUSSION:
ALL LISTED VEHICLES EXCEPT SEBRING COUPE/STRATUS COUPE (ST), CROSSFIRE, AND
SPRINTER.
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is replaced on vehicles equipped with the Sentry
Key(TM) Theft Deterrent System, it must be initialized to properly function with the anti-theft
module. This is accomplished at a Chrysler Group Dealer by using the DRBIII(R) or StarSCAN(TM)
Scan Tool to enter a PIN number.
When the PIN number is not available from the vehicle owner or a Chrysler Group Scan Tool(s) is
not available this can be accomplished by writing the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) into the
PCM using an after-market scan tool with a "VIN Write Function".
More information is available from the scan tool manufacturer or the Equipment & Tool Institute.
NOTE:
After performing this procedure with an after-market scan tool on vehicles equipped with Chrysler
Group's Next Generation Controller (NGC), Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) "P0633 - SKIM
SECRET KEY DATA NOT STORED IN PCM" will be set. This DTC will not effect vehicle or system
performance and cannot be erased.
SEBRING COUPE/STRATUS COUPE (ST)
Initializing the PCM on these vehicles requires the use of a DaimlerChrysler scan tool (DRBIII(R)),
J1962 MMC Cable (Special Tool CH7010), and the BLUE 5T22 PCMCIA
Diagnostic Card (Special Tool CH8425). This equipment is available for lease from
DaimlerChrysler for short periods of time. A credit card deposit will be required.
CROSSFIRE AND SPRINTER.
Initializing the PCM on these vehicles requires the use of a DaimlerChrysler scan tool (DRBIII(R)),
Multiplexer cable box (Special Tool CH 9043), and the ORANGE Crossfire PCMCIA card (Special
Tool CH9044) or the GREEN Sprinter PCMCIA card (Special Tool CH9087). This equipment is
available for lease from DaimlerChrysler for short periods of time. A credit card deposit will be
required.
The DRBIII(R) will be shipped within 24 hours to your location by an overnight delivery service.

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

IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as follows:
- In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the instrument panel area are C200 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.
- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.
- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.
- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
In addition, S001-S099 numbers are located in the engine compartment.
- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.
LOCATIONS
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
DESCRIPTION - SECTION IDENTIFICATION AND INFORMATION
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual sections. If a component is most likely found in a
particular group, it will be shown complete (all wires, connectors, and pins) within that group. For
example, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be found in Powertrain Management, so it is
shown there complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some
associated wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Splice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.
Connector Pin-Outs 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
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first.
4. Do not remove the part from it's protective packing until it is time to install the part.
5. Before removing the part from it's package, ground the package to a known good ground on the
vehicle.

1. 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
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
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
STANDARD PROCEDURE - 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.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 2712
- 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.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Description
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 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 separately from the
ground pins.
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).

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Operation
Powertrain Control Module
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
The PCM receives input signals from various switches and sensors that are referred to as PCM
Inputs. Based on these inputs, the PCM adjusts various engine and vehicle operations through
devices that are referred to as PCM Outputs.
NOTE: PCM Inputs:
- Air Conditioning Controls
- Battery Voltage
- Brake Switch
- Camshaft Position Sensor
- Clutch Upstop Switch
- Clutch Interlock
- Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
- Fuel Level Sensor (Bus message)
- Ignition Switch
- Intake Air Temperature Sensor
- Knock Sensor
- Evaporative System Integrity Monitor
- Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
- Oil Pressure Switch
- Oxygen Sensors
- Power Steering Pressure Switch
- Speed Control Switches
- Vehicle Speed Sensor (MTX-equipped models)
NOTE: PCM Outputs:
- Air Conditioning Clutch Relay
- Charging Indicator Lamp (Bus Message)

- Fuel Injectors
- Generator Field
- Ignition Coils
- Malfunction Indicator (Check Engine) Lamp (Bus Message)
- Manifold Flow Valve
- Oxygen Sensors Heater Controls
- Variable Valve Timing
- Vehicle Speed (Manual Transmission)
Based on inputs it receives, the PCM adjusts fuel injector pulse width, idle speed, ignition spark
advance, ignition coil dwell and EVAP canister purge operation. The PCM also determines the
appropriate transmission shift schedule and shift points, depending on the present operating
conditions and driver demand. The PCM regulates the cooling fan, air conditioning and speed
control systems. The PCM changes generator charge rate by adjusting the

generator field. The PCM also performs diagnostics.
The PCM adjusts injector pulse width (air-fuel ratio) based on the following inputs.
- Battery voltage
- Coolant temperature
- Exhaust gas content (oxygen sensor)
- Engine speed (crankshaft position sensor)
- Intake air temperature
- Manifold absolute pressure
- Throttle position
The PCM adjusts ignition timing based on the following inputs.
- Coolant temperature
- Engine speed (crankshaft position sensor)
- Knock sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure
- Throttle position
- Transmission gear selection (park/neutral switch)
- Intake air temperature
The PCM also adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control motor based on the following
inputs.
- Air conditioning sense
- Battery voltage
- Brake switch
- Coolant temperature
- Engine speed (crankshaft position sensor)
- Engine run time
- Manifold absolute pressure
- Power steering pressure switch
- Throttle position
- Transmission gear selection (park/neutral switch)
- Vehicle distance (speed)
The camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position sensor signals are sent to the PCM. If the
PCM does not receive the signal within approximately 1 second of engine cranking, it deactivates
the fuel pump. When these are deactivated, power is shut off to the fuel injectors, ignition coils,
oxygen sensor heating elements and fuel pump.
The PCM contains a voltage converter that changes battery voltage to a regulated 5 volt direct
current to power the camshaft position sensor, crankshaft position sensor, manifold absolute
pressure sensor, throttle position sensor, A/C pressure switch, A/C pressure transducer, and
vehicle speed sensor.
5 Volt Supply - PCM Output

PCM/ECM/SKREEM Programming
Engine Control Module: Testing and Inspection PCM/ECM/SKREEM Programming
PCM/ECM/SKREEM PROGRAMMING
NOTE: Before replacing the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Engine Control Module (ECM),
be certain to check the related component/circuit integrity for failures not detected due to a double
fault in the circuit. Most PCM/ECM driver/control circuit failures are caused by internal component
failures (i.e. relays and solenoids) and shorted circuits (i.e. pull-ups, drivers, and switched circuits).
These failures are difficult to detect when a double fault has occurred and only one DTC has been
set.
When a PCM, or ECM, and the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) on vehicles equipped
with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the
following steps in order:
1. Program the new PCM or ECM.
2. Program the new SKREEM (also sometimes referred to as the Wireless Control Module or
WCM).
3. Replace all ignition keys and program them into the new SKREEM/WCM.
PROGRAMMING THE SKREEM
The SKIS Secret Key is an ID code that is unique to each SKREEM/WCM. This code is
programmed and stored in the SKREEM/WCM, the PCM/ECM, and each ignition key transponder
chip. When the PCM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret Key into
the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in the
diagnostic scan tool for "PCM Replaced" or "WCM Replaced" under "Miscellaneous Functions" for
the "WCM/Wireless Control Module" menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: If the PCM/ECM and the SKREEM/WCM are replaced at the same time, all vehicle ignition
keys will need to be replaced and new keys programmed into the new SKREEM/WCM.
NOTE: Programming the PCM/ECM or SKREEM is done using a diagnostic scan tool and a PIN to
enter secure access mode. If eight attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an
incorrect PIN, secure access mode will be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn
the ignition to the RUN position for one hour then enter the correct PIN. (Ensure all accessories are
turned OFF. Also monitor the battery state and connect a battery charger if necessary).
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE menu item.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any
other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
- Programming Not Attempted - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status and
there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- Programming Key Failed (Possible Used Key From Wrong Vehicle) - SKREEM is unable to
program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is faulty.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.
- 8 Keys Already Learned, Programming Not Done - The SKREEM transponder ID memory is full.
- Learned Key In Ignition - The ID for the ignition key transponder currently in the ignition lock
cylinder is already programmed into SKREEM memory.

Engine Control Module: Testing and Inspection 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.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The PCM sends approximately 5 volts to the Hall-effect sensor. This voltage is required to operate
the Hall-effect chip and the electronics inside the sensor. The input to the PCM occurs on a 5 volt
output reference circuit. A ground for the sensor is provided through the sensor return circuit. The
PCM identifies camshaft position by registering the change from 5 to 0 volts, as signaled from the
camshaft position sensor.
The PCM determines fuel injection synchronization and cylinder identification from inputs provided
by the camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position sensor. From the two inputs, the PCM
determines crankshaft position.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft position sensor mounts to the rear of the engine block near the transmission.
The PCM uses the Crankshaft Position sensor to calculate the following:
- Engine RPM
- TDC number 1 and 4
- Ignition coil synchronization
- Injector synchronization
- Camshaft-to-crankshaft misalignment (Timing belt skipped 1 tooth or more diagnostic trouble
code).

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The PCM sends approximately 5 volts to the Hall-effect sensor. This voltage is required to operate
the Hall-effect chip and the electronics inside the sensor. A ground for the sensor is provided
through the sensor return circuit. The input to the PCM occurs on a 5 volt output reference circuit
that operates as follows: The Hall-effect sensor contains a powerful magnet. As the magnetic field
passes over the dense portion of the counterweight, the 5-volt signal is pulled to ground (0.3 volts)
through a transistor in the sensor. When the magnetic field passes over the notches in the
crankshaft counterweight, the magnetic field turns off the transistor in the sensor, causing the PCM
to register the 5-volt signal. The PCM identifies crankshaft position by registering the change from
5 to 0 volts, as signaled from the Crankshaft Position sensor (2).
The PCM determines which cylinder to fire from the crankshaft position sensor input and the
camshaft position sensor input. The #8 crankshaft counterweight has a target ring with 32 teeth
and notches (1), including one long reference tooth and notch. From the crankshaft position sensor
input the PCM determines engine speed and crankshaft angle (position).

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The knock sensor is bolted to the cylinder block. The knock sensor is designed to detect engine
vibration that is caused by detonation or preignition.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When the knock sensor detects a knock in one of the cylinders, it sends an input signal to the
PCM. In response, the PCM retards ignition timing for all cylinders by a scheduled amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric material which constantly vibrates and sends an input
voltage (signal) to the PCM while the engine operates. As the intensity of the crystal's vibration
increases, the knock sensor output voltage also increases.
The voltage signal produced by the knock sensor increases with the amplitude of vibration. The
PCM receives as an input the knock sensor voltage signal. If the signal rises above a
predetermined level, the PCM will store that value in memory and retard ignition timing to reduce
engine knock. If the knock sensor voltage exceeds a preset value, the PCM retards ignition timing
for all cylinders. It is not a selective cylinder retard.
The PCM ignores knock sensor input during engine idle conditions. Once the engine speed
exceeds a specified value, ignition timing retard is allowed.
Ignition timing is retarded uses its own short term and long term memory program.
Long term memory stores previous detonation information in its battery-backed RAM. The
maximum authority that long term memory has over timing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard ignition timing up to a preset amount under all operating
conditions (as long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except WOT. The PCM, using short term
memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term memory
is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening affects knock sensor performance, possibly causing improper
spark control.

Manifold Pressure/Vacuum Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The MAP serves as a PCM input, using a silicon based sensing unit, to provide data on the
manifold vacuum that draws the air/fuel mixture into the combustion chamber. The PCM requires
this information to determine injector pulse width and spark advance. When MAP equals
Barometric pressure, the pulse width will be at maximum.
Also like the cam and crank sensors, a 5 volt reference is supplied from the PCM and returns a
voltage signal to the PCM that reflects manifold pressure. The zero pressure reading is 0.5 volt and
full scale is 4.5 volt. For a pressure swing of 0 - 15 psi the voltage changes 4.0 volt. The sensor is
supplied a regulated 4.8 to 5.1 volts to operate the sensor. Like the cam and crank sensors ground
is provided through the sensor return circuit.
The MAP sensor input is the number one contributor to pulse width. The most important function of
the MAP sensor is to determine barometric pressure. The PCM needs to know if the vehicle is at
sea level or is it in Denver at 5000 feet above sea level, because the air density changes with
altitude. It will also help to correct for varying weather conditions. If a hurricane was coming through
the pressure would be very, very low or there could be a real fair weather, high pressure area. This
is important because as air pressure changes the barometric pressure changes. Barometric
pressure and altitude have a direct inverse correlation, as altitude goes up barometric goes down.
The first thing that happens as the key is rolled on, before reaching the crank position, the PCM
powers up, comes around and looks at the MAP voltage, and based upon the voltage it sees, it
knows the current barometric pressure relative to altitude. Once the engine starts, the PCM looks
at the voltage again, continuously every 12 milliseconds, and compares the current voltage to what
it was at key on. The difference between current and what it was at key on is manifold vacuum.
During key On (engine not running) the sensor reads (updates) barometric pressure. A normal
range can be obtained by monitoring known good sensor in your work area.
As the altitude increases the air becomes thinner (less oxygen). If a vehicle is started and driven to
a very different altitude than where it was at key On the barometric pressure needs to be updated.
Any time the PCM sees Wide Open throttle, based upon TPS angle and RPM it will update
barometric pressure in the MAP memory cell. With periodic updates, the PCM can make its
calculations more effectively.
The PCM uses the MAP sensor to aid in calculating the following:
- Barometric pressure
- Engine load
- Manifold pressure
- Injector pulse-width
- Spark-advance programs
- Shift-point strategies (F4AC1 transmissions only, via the PCI bus)
- Idle speed
- Decel fuel shutoff
The PCM recognizes a decrease in manifold pressure by monitoring a decrease in voltage from the
reading stored in the barometric pressure memory cell. The MAP sensor is a linear sensor; as
pressure changes, voltage changes proportionately. The range of voltage output from the sensor is
usually between 4.6 volts at sea level to as low as 0.3 volts at 88 kPa (26 in. Hg). Barometric
pressure is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere upon an object. At sea level on a standard
day, no storm, barometric pressure is 101 kPa (29.92 in. Hg). For every 30.5 meters (100 feet) of
altitude barometric pressure drops .33 kPa (0.10 in. Hg). If a storm goes through it can either add,
high pressure, or decrease, low pressure, from what should be present for that altitude. You should
make a habit of knowing what the average pressure and corresponding barometric pressure is for
your area.

As vehicles accumulate mileage, the catalytic convertor deteriorates. The deterioration results in a
less efficient catalyst. To monitor catalytic convertor deterioration, the fuel injection system uses
two heated oxygen sensors. One sensor upstream of the catalytic convertor, one downstream of
the convertor. The PCM compares the reading from the sensors to calculate the catalytic convertor
oxygen storage capacity and converter efficiency. Also, the PCM uses the upstream heated oxygen
sensor input when adjusting injector pulse width.
When the catalytic converter efficiency drops below emission standards, the PCM stores a
diagnostic trouble code and illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
The O2 sensors produce a constant 2.5 volts on NGC vehicles, depending upon the oxygen
content of the exhaust gas. When a large amount of oxygen is present (caused by a lean air/fuel
mixture, can be caused by misfire and exhaust leaks), the sensors produce a low voltage. When
there is a lesser amount of oxygen present (caused by a rich air/fuel mixture, which can be caused
by internal engine problems) it produces a higher voltage. By monitoring the oxygen content and
converting it to electrical voltage, the sensors act as a rich-lean switch.
The oxygen sensors are equipped with a heating element that keeps the sensors at proper
operating temperature during all operating modes. Maintaining correct sensor temperature at all
times allows the system to enter into closed loop operation sooner. Also, it allows the system to
remain in closed loop operation during periods of extended idle.
In Closed Loop operation the PCM monitors the O2 sensor's input (along with other inputs) and
adjusts the injector pulse width accordingly. During Open Loop operation the PCM ignores the O2
sensor input. The PCM adjusts injector pulse width based on preprogrammed (fixed) values and
inputs from other sensors.
The NGC Controller has a common ground for the heater in the O2S. 12 volts is supplied to the
heater in the O2S by the NGC controller. Both the upstream and downstream O2 sensors for NGC
are pulse width modulation (PWM).
NOTE: When replacing an O2 Sensor, the PCM RAM memory must be cleared, either by
disconnecting the PCM C-1 connector or momentarily disconnecting the Battery negative terminal.
The NGC learns the characteristics of each O2 heater element and these old values should be
cleared when installing a new O2 sensor. The customer may experience driveability issues if this is
not performed.
UPSTREAM OXYGEN SENSOR
The input from the upstream heated oxygen sensor tells the PCM the oxygen content of the
exhaust gas. Based on this input, the PCM fine tunes the air-fuel ratio by adjusting injector pulse
width.
The sensor input switches from 2.5 to 3.5 volt, depending upon the oxygen content of the exhaust
gas in the exhaust manifold. When a large amount of oxygen is present (caused by a lean air-fuel
mixture), the sensor produces voltage as low as 2.5 volt. When there is a lesser amount of oxygen
present (rich air-fuel mixture) the sensor produces a voltage as high as 3.5 volt. By monitoring the
oxygen content and converting it to electrical voltage, the sensor acts as a rich-lean switch.
The heating element in the sensor provides heat to the sensor ceramic element. Heating the
sensor allows the system to enter into closed loop operation sooner. Also, it allows the system to
remain in closed loop operation during periods of extended idle.
In Closed Loop, the PCM adjusts injector pulse width based on the upstream heated oxygen
sensor input along with other inputs. In Open Loop, the PCM adjusts injector pulse width based on
preprogrammed (fixed) values and inputs from other sensors.
DOWNSTREAM OXYGEN SENSOR
The downstream heated oxygen sensor input is used to detect catalytic convertor deterioration. As
the convertor deteriorates, the input from the downstream sensor begins to match the upstream
sensor input except for a slight time delay. By comparing the downstream heated oxygen sensor
input to the input from the upstream sensor, the PCM calculates catalytic convertor efficiency. This
is also used to establish the upstream O2 goal voltage (switching point).

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
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.

- 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
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
DESCRIPTION - SECTION IDENTIFICATION AND INFORMATION
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual sections. If a component is most likely found in a
particular group, it will be shown complete (all wires, connectors, and pins) within that group. For
example, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be found in Powertrain Management, so it is
shown there complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some
associated wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Splice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.
Connector Pin-Outs 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
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 2913
- 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.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft position sensor mounts to the rear of the engine block near the transmission.
The PCM uses the Crankshaft Position sensor to calculate the following:
- Engine RPM
- TDC number 1 and 4
- Ignition coil synchronization
- Injector synchronization
- Camshaft-to-crankshaft misalignment (Timing belt skipped 1 tooth or more diagnostic trouble
code).

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The PCM sends approximately 5 volts to the Hall-effect sensor. This voltage is required to operate
the Hall-effect chip and the electronics inside the sensor. A ground for the sensor is provided
through the sensor return circuit. The input to the PCM occurs on a 5 volt output reference circuit
that operates as follows: The Hall-effect sensor contains a powerful magnet. As the magnetic field
passes over the dense portion of the counterweight, the 5-volt signal is pulled to ground (0.3 volts)
through a transistor in the sensor. When the magnetic field passes over the notches in the
crankshaft counterweight, the magnetic field turns off the transistor in the sensor, causing the PCM
to register the 5-volt signal. The PCM identifies crankshaft position by registering the change from
5 to 0 volts, as signaled from the Crankshaft Position sensor (2).
The PCM determines which cylinder to fire from the crankshaft position sensor input and the
camshaft position sensor input. The #8 crankshaft counterweight has a target ring with 32 teeth
and notches (1), including one long reference tooth and notch. From the crankshaft position sensor
input the PCM determines engine speed and crankshaft angle (position).

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The knock sensor is bolted to the cylinder block. The knock sensor is designed to detect engine
vibration that is caused by detonation or preignition.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When the knock sensor detects a knock in one of the cylinders, it sends an input signal to the
PCM. In response, the PCM retards ignition timing for all cylinders by a scheduled amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric material which constantly vibrates and sends an input
voltage (signal) to the PCM while the engine operates. As the intensity of the crystal's vibration
increases, the knock sensor output voltage also increases.
The voltage signal produced by the knock sensor increases with the amplitude of vibration. The
PCM receives as an input the knock sensor voltage signal. If the signal rises above a
predetermined level, the PCM will store that value in memory and retard ignition timing to reduce
engine knock. If the knock sensor voltage exceeds a preset value, the PCM retards ignition timing
for all cylinders. It is not a selective cylinder retard.
The PCM ignores knock sensor input during engine idle conditions. Once the engine speed
exceeds a specified value, ignition timing retard is allowed.
Ignition timing is retarded uses its own short term and long term memory program.
Long term memory stores previous detonation information in its battery-backed RAM. The
maximum authority that long term memory has over timing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard ignition timing up to a preset amount under all operating
conditions (as long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except WOT. The PCM, using short term
memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term memory
is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening affects knock sensor performance, possibly causing improper
spark control.

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 engine cover. 4. Disconnect coil electrical connectors and remove coils. 5. Remove all
spark plugs from engine. As spark plugs are being removed, check electrodes for abnormal firing
indicators fouled, hot, oily, etc.
Record cylinder number of spark plug for future reference.
6. Disconnect injector electrical connectors. 7. Be sure throttle blade is fully open during the
compression check. 8. Insert compression gauge adaptor 8116 or the equivalent, into the #1 spark
plug hole in cylinder head. Connect the 0-500 psi (Blue) pressure
transducer CH7059 with cable adaptors to the DRBIII(R).
9. Crank engine until maximum pressure is reached on gauge. Record this pressure as #1 cylinder
pressure.
10. Repeat the previous step for all remaining cylinders. 11. Compression should not be less than
1034 kPa (150 psi) and not vary more than 25 percent from cylinder to cylinder. 12. If one or more
cylinders have abnormally low compression pressures, repeat the compression test. 13. 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.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The PCM sends approximately 5 volts to the Hall-effect sensor. This voltage is required to operate
the Hall-effect chip and the electronics inside the sensor. The input to the PCM occurs on a 5 volt
output reference circuit. A ground for the sensor is provided through the sensor return circuit. The
PCM identifies camshaft position by registering the change from 5 to 0 volts, as signaled from the
camshaft position sensor.
The PCM determines fuel injection synchronization and cylinder identification from inputs provided
by the camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position sensor. From the two inputs, the PCM
determines crankshaft position.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The PCM sends approximately 5 volts to the Hall-effect sensor. This voltage is required to operate
the Hall-effect chip and the electronics inside the sensor. A ground for the sensor is provided
through the sensor return circuit. The input to the PCM occurs on a 5 volt output reference circuit
that operates as follows: The Hall-effect sensor contains a powerful magnet. As the magnetic field
passes over the dense portion of the counterweight, the 5-volt signal is pulled to ground (0.3 volts)
through a transistor in the sensor. When the magnetic field passes over the notches in the
crankshaft counterweight, the magnetic field turns off the transistor in the sensor, causing the PCM
to register the 5-volt signal. The PCM identifies crankshaft position by registering the change from
5 to 0 volts, as signaled from the Crankshaft Position sensor (2).
The PCM determines which cylinder to fire from the crankshaft position sensor input and the
camshaft position sensor input. The #8 crankshaft counterweight has a target ring with 32 teeth
and notches (1), including one long reference tooth and notch. From the crankshaft position sensor
input the PCM determines engine speed and crankshaft angle (position).

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
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
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Data Link Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3178
- 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.

NOTE:
The model years and vehicles above must be equipped (optional) with Sentry Key Theft Deterrent
System (sales code GXX) for this bulletin to apply.
DISCUSSION:
ALL LISTED VEHICLES EXCEPT SEBRING COUPE/STRATUS COUPE (ST), CROSSFIRE, AND
SPRINTER.
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is replaced on vehicles equipped with the Sentry
Key(TM) Theft Deterrent System, it must be initialized to properly function with the anti-theft
module. This is accomplished at a Chrysler Group Dealer by using the DRBIII(R) or StarSCAN(TM)
Scan Tool to enter a PIN number.
When the PIN number is not available from the vehicle owner or a Chrysler Group Scan Tool(s) is
not available this can be accomplished by writing the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) into the
PCM using an after-market scan tool with a "VIN Write Function".
More information is available from the scan tool manufacturer or the Equipment & Tool Institute.
NOTE:
After performing this procedure with an after-market scan tool on vehicles equipped with Chrysler
Group's Next Generation Controller (NGC), Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) "P0633 - SKIM
SECRET KEY DATA NOT STORED IN PCM" will be set. This DTC will not effect vehicle or system
performance and cannot be erased.
SEBRING COUPE/STRATUS COUPE (ST)
Initializing the PCM on these vehicles requires the use of a DaimlerChrysler scan tool (DRBIII(R)),
J1962 MMC Cable (Special Tool CH7010), and the BLUE 5T22 PCMCIA
Diagnostic Card (Special Tool CH8425). This equipment is available for lease from
DaimlerChrysler for short periods of time. A credit card deposit will be required.
CROSSFIRE AND SPRINTER.
Initializing the PCM on these vehicles requires the use of a DaimlerChrysler scan tool (DRBIII(R)),
Multiplexer cable box (Special Tool CH 9043), and the ORANGE Crossfire PCMCIA card (Special
Tool CH9044) or the GREEN Sprinter PCMCIA card (Special Tool CH9087). This equipment is
available for lease from DaimlerChrysler for short periods of time. A credit card deposit will be
required.
The DRBIII(R) will be shipped within 24 hours to your location by an overnight delivery service.
When the DRBIII(R) is returned, your credit card will be charged the lease price.
2007 GRAND CHEROKEE W/ 3.0L TD/2005 - 2007 LIBERTY w/2.8L TD/2007 RAM TRUCK/RAM
CAB CHASSIS w 6.7L TD AND 2004-2006 SPRINTER w 2.7L TD ENGINES.
For the above models equipped with Turbo Diesel Engines, the fuel injector "Quantity Values" must
be physically read from each injector and the values written to the ECU with an appropriate scan
tool.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
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.

- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.
LOCATIONS
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
DESCRIPTION - SECTION IDENTIFICATION AND INFORMATION
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual sections. If a component is most likely found in a
particular group, it will be shown complete (all wires, connectors, and pins) within that group. For
example, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be found in Powertrain Management, so it is
shown there complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some
associated wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Splice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.
Connector Pin-Outs 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
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3222
- 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.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Description
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 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 separately from the
ground pins.
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).

Powertrain Control Module
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
The PCM receives input signals from various switches and sensors that are referred to as PCM
Inputs. Based on these inputs, the PCM adjusts various engine and vehicle operations through
devices that are referred to as PCM Outputs.
NOTE: PCM Inputs:
- Air Conditioning Controls
- Battery Voltage
- Brake Switch
- Camshaft Position Sensor
- Clutch Upstop Switch
- Clutch Interlock
- Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
- Fuel Level Sensor (Bus message)
- Ignition Switch
- Intake Air Temperature Sensor
- Knock Sensor
- Evaporative System Integrity Monitor
- Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor

- Fuel Injectors
- Generator Field
- Ignition Coils
- Malfunction Indicator (Check Engine) Lamp (Bus Message)
- Manifold Flow Valve
- Oxygen Sensors Heater Controls
- Variable Valve Timing
- Vehicle Speed (Manual Transmission)
Based on inputs it receives, the PCM adjusts fuel injector pulse width, idle speed, ignition spark
advance, ignition coil dwell and EVAP canister purge operation. The PCM also determines the
appropriate transmission shift schedule and shift points, depending on the present operating
conditions and driver demand. The PCM regulates the cooling fan, air conditioning and speed
control systems. The PCM changes generator charge rate by adjusting the

generator field. The PCM also performs diagnostics.
The PCM adjusts injector pulse width (air-fuel ratio) based on the following inputs.
- Battery voltage
- Coolant temperature
- Exhaust gas content (oxygen sensor)
- Engine speed (crankshaft position sensor)
- Intake air temperature
- Manifold absolute pressure
- Throttle position
The PCM adjusts ignition timing based on the following inputs.
- Coolant temperature
- Engine speed (crankshaft position sensor)
- Knock sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure
- Throttle position

The camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position sensor signals are sent to the PCM. If the
PCM does not receive the signal within approximately 1 second of engine cranking, it deactivates
the fuel pump. When these are deactivated, power is shut off to the fuel injectors, ignition coils,
oxygen sensor heating elements and fuel pump.
The PCM contains a voltage converter that changes battery voltage to a regulated 5 volt direct
current to power the camshaft position sensor, crankshaft position sensor, manifold absolute
pressure sensor, throttle position sensor, A/C pressure switch, A/C pressure transducer, and
vehicle speed sensor.

Engine Control Module: Testing and Inspection PCM/ECM/SKREEM Programming
PCM/ECM/SKREEM PROGRAMMING
NOTE: Before replacing the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Engine Control Module (ECM),
be certain to check the related component/circuit integrity for failures not detected due to a double
fault in the circuit. Most PCM/ECM driver/control circuit failures are caused by internal component
failures (i.e. relays and solenoids) and shorted circuits (i.e. pull-ups, drivers, and switched circuits).
These failures are difficult to detect when a double fault has occurred and only one DTC has been
set.
When a PCM, or ECM, and the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) on vehicles equipped
with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the
following steps in order:
1. Program the new PCM or ECM.
2. Program the new SKREEM (also sometimes referred to as the Wireless Control Module or
WCM).
3. Replace all ignition keys and program them into the new SKREEM/WCM.
PROGRAMMING THE SKREEM
The SKIS Secret Key is an ID code that is unique to each SKREEM/WCM. This code is
programmed and stored in the SKREEM/WCM, the PCM/ECM, and each ignition key transponder
chip. When the PCM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret Key into
the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in the
diagnostic scan tool for "PCM Replaced" or "WCM Replaced" under "Miscellaneous Functions" for
the "WCM/Wireless Control Module" menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: If the PCM/ECM and the SKREEM/WCM are replaced at the same time, all vehicle ignition
keys will need to be replaced and new keys programmed into the new SKREEM/WCM.
NOTE: Programming the PCM/ECM or SKREEM is done using a diagnostic scan tool and a PIN to
enter secure access mode. If eight attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an
incorrect PIN, secure access mode will be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn
the ignition to the RUN position for one hour then enter the correct PIN. (Ensure all accessories are
turned OFF. Also monitor the battery state and connect a battery charger if necessary).
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE menu item.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any
other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
- Programming Not Attempted - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status and
there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- Programming Key Failed (Possible Used Key From Wrong Vehicle) - SKREEM is unable to
program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is faulty.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.
- 8 Keys Already Learned, Programming Not Done - The SKREEM transponder ID memory is full.
- Learned Key In Ignition - The ID for the ignition key transponder currently in the ignition lock
cylinder is already programmed into SKREEM memory.

Engine Control Module: Testing and Inspection 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.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
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.

- 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
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
DESCRIPTION - SECTION IDENTIFICATION AND INFORMATION
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual sections. If a component is most likely found in a
particular group, it will be shown complete (all wires, connectors, and pins) within that group. For
example, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be found in Powertrain Management, so it is
shown there complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some
associated wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Splice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3263
- 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.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The knock sensor is bolted to the cylinder block. The knock sensor is designed to detect engine
vibration that is caused by detonation or preignition.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Knock Sensor > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 3280
Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When the knock sensor detects a knock in one of the cylinders, it sends an input signal to the
PCM. In response, the PCM retards ignition timing for all cylinders by a scheduled amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric material which constantly vibrates and sends an input
voltage (signal) to the PCM while the engine operates. As the intensity of the crystal's vibration
increases, the knock sensor output voltage also increases.
The voltage signal produced by the knock sensor increases with the amplitude of vibration. The
PCM receives as an input the knock sensor voltage signal. If the signal rises above a
predetermined level, the PCM will store that value in memory and retard ignition timing to reduce
engine knock. If the knock sensor voltage exceeds a preset value, the PCM retards ignition timing
for all cylinders. It is not a selective cylinder retard.
The PCM ignores knock sensor input during engine idle conditions. Once the engine speed
exceeds a specified value, ignition timing retard is allowed.
Ignition timing is retarded uses its own short term and long term memory program.
Long term memory stores previous detonation information in its battery-backed RAM. The
maximum authority that long term memory has over timing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard ignition timing up to a preset amount under all operating
conditions (as long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except WOT. The PCM, using short term
memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term memory
is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening affects knock sensor performance, possibly causing improper
spark control.

Manifold Pressure/Vacuum Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The MAP serves as a PCM input, using a silicon based sensing unit, to provide data on the
manifold vacuum that draws the air/fuel mixture into the combustion chamber. The PCM requires
this information to determine injector pulse width and spark advance. When MAP equals
Barometric pressure, the pulse width will be at maximum.
Also like the cam and crank sensors, a 5 volt reference is supplied from the PCM and returns a
voltage signal to the PCM that reflects manifold pressure. The zero pressure reading is 0.5 volt and
full scale is 4.5 volt. For a pressure swing of 0 - 15 psi the voltage changes 4.0 volt. The sensor is
supplied a regulated 4.8 to 5.1 volts to operate the sensor. Like the cam and crank sensors ground
is provided through the sensor return circuit.
The MAP sensor input is the number one contributor to pulse width. The most important function of
the MAP sensor is to determine barometric pressure. The PCM needs to know if the vehicle is at
sea level or is it in Denver at 5000 feet above sea level, because the air density changes with
altitude. It will also help to correct for varying weather conditions. If a hurricane was coming through
the pressure would be very, very low or there could be a real fair weather, high pressure area. This
is important because as air pressure changes the barometric pressure changes. Barometric
pressure and altitude have a direct inverse correlation, as altitude goes up barometric goes down.
The first thing that happens as the key is rolled on, before reaching the crank position, the PCM
powers up, comes around and looks at the MAP voltage, and based upon the voltage it sees, it
knows the current barometric pressure relative to altitude. Once the engine starts, the PCM looks
at the voltage again, continuously every 12 milliseconds, and compares the current voltage to what
it was at key on. The difference between current and what it was at key on is manifold vacuum.
During key On (engine not running) the sensor reads (updates) barometric pressure. A normal
range can be obtained by monitoring known good sensor in your work area.
As the altitude increases the air becomes thinner (less oxygen). If a vehicle is started and driven to
a very different altitude than where it was at key On the barometric pressure needs to be updated.
Any time the PCM sees Wide Open throttle, based upon TPS angle and RPM it will update
barometric pressure in the MAP memory cell. With periodic updates, the PCM can make its
calculations more effectively.
The PCM uses the MAP sensor to aid in calculating the following:
- Barometric pressure
- Engine load
- Manifold pressure
- Injector pulse-width
- Spark-advance programs
- Shift-point strategies (F4AC1 transmissions only, via the PCI bus)
- Idle speed
- Decel fuel shutoff
The PCM recognizes a decrease in manifold pressure by monitoring a decrease in voltage from the
reading stored in the barometric pressure memory cell. The MAP sensor is a linear sensor; as
pressure changes, voltage changes proportionately. The range of voltage output from the sensor is
usually between 4.6 volts at sea level to as low as 0.3 volts at 88 kPa (26 in. Hg). Barometric
pressure is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere upon an object. At sea level on a standard
day, no storm, barometric pressure is 101 kPa (29.92 in. Hg). For every 30.5 meters (100 feet) of
altitude barometric pressure drops .33 kPa (0.10 in. Hg). If a storm goes through it can either add,
high pressure, or decrease, low pressure, from what should be present for that altitude. You should
make a habit of knowing what the average pressure and corresponding barometric pressure is for
your area.

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Separate upstream and downstream grounds are used on the NGC vehicles (4 Cyl.).
As vehicles accumulate mileage, the catalytic convertor deteriorates. The deterioration results in a
less efficient catalyst. To monitor catalytic convertor deterioration, the fuel injection system uses
two heated oxygen sensors. One sensor upstream of the catalytic convertor, one downstream of
the convertor. The PCM compares the reading from the sensors to calculate the catalytic convertor
oxygen storage capacity and converter efficiency. Also, the PCM uses the upstream heated oxygen
sensor input when adjusting injector pulse width.
When the catalytic converter efficiency drops below emission standards, the PCM stores a
diagnostic trouble code and illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
The O2 sensors produce a constant 2.5 volts on NGC vehicles, depending upon the oxygen
content of the exhaust gas. When a large amount of oxygen is present (caused by a lean air/fuel
mixture, can be caused by misfire and exhaust leaks), the sensors produce a low voltage. When
there is a lesser amount of oxygen present (caused by a rich air/fuel mixture, which can be caused
by internal engine problems) it produces a higher voltage. By monitoring the oxygen content and
converting it to electrical voltage, the sensors act as a rich-lean switch.
The oxygen sensors are equipped with a heating element that keeps the sensors at proper
operating temperature during all operating modes. Maintaining correct sensor temperature at all
times allows the system to enter into closed loop operation sooner. Also, it allows the system to
remain in closed loop operation during periods of extended idle.
In Closed Loop operation the PCM monitors the O2 sensor's input (along with other inputs) and
adjusts the injector pulse width accordingly. During Open Loop operation the PCM ignores the O2
sensor input. The PCM adjusts injector pulse width based on preprogrammed (fixed) values and
inputs from other sensors.
The NGC Controller has a common ground for the heater in the O2S. 12 volts is supplied to the
heater in the O2S by the NGC controller. Both the upstream and downstream O2 sensors for NGC
are pulse width modulation (PWM).
NOTE: When replacing an O2 Sensor, the PCM RAM memory must be cleared, either by
disconnecting the PCM C-1 connector or momentarily disconnecting the Battery negative terminal.
The NGC learns the characteristics of each O2 heater element and these old values should be
cleared when installing a new O2 sensor. The customer may experience driveability issues if this is
not performed.
UPSTREAM OXYGEN SENSOR
The input from the upstream heated oxygen sensor tells the PCM the oxygen content of the
exhaust gas. Based on this input, the PCM fine tunes the air-fuel ratio by adjusting injector pulse
width.
The sensor input switches from 2.5 to 3.5 volt, depending upon the oxygen content of the exhaust
gas in the exhaust manifold. When a large amount of oxygen is present (caused by a lean air-fuel
mixture), the sensor produces voltage as low as 2.5 volt. When there is a lesser amount of oxygen
present (rich air-fuel mixture) the sensor produces a voltage as high as 3.5 volt. By monitoring the
oxygen content and converting it to electrical voltage, the sensor acts as a rich-lean switch.
The heating element in the sensor provides heat to the sensor ceramic element. Heating the
sensor allows the system to enter into closed loop operation sooner. Also, it allows the system to
remain in closed loop operation during periods of extended idle.
In Closed Loop, the PCM adjusts injector pulse width based on the upstream heated oxygen
sensor input along with other inputs. In Open Loop, the PCM adjusts injector pulse width based on
preprogrammed (fixed) values and inputs from other sensors.
DOWNSTREAM OXYGEN SENSOR
The downstream heated oxygen sensor input is used to detect catalytic convertor deterioration. As
the convertor deteriorates, the input from the downstream sensor begins to match the upstream
sensor input except for a slight time delay. By comparing the downstream heated oxygen sensor
input to the input from the upstream sensor, the PCM calculates catalytic convertor efficiency. This
is also used to establish the upstream O2 goal voltage (switching point).

NOTE:
The model years and vehicles above must be equipped (optional) with Sentry Key Theft Deterrent
System (sales code GXX) for this bulletin to apply.
DISCUSSION:
ALL LISTED VEHICLES EXCEPT SEBRING COUPE/STRATUS COUPE (ST), CROSSFIRE, AND
SPRINTER.
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is replaced on vehicles equipped with the Sentry
Key(TM) Theft Deterrent System, it must be initialized to properly function with the anti-theft
module. This is accomplished at a Chrysler Group Dealer by using the DRBIII(R) or StarSCAN(TM)
Scan Tool to enter a PIN number.
When the PIN number is not available from the vehicle owner or a Chrysler Group Scan Tool(s) is
not available this can be accomplished by writing the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) into the
PCM using an after-market scan tool with a "VIN Write Function".
More information is available from the scan tool manufacturer or the Equipment & Tool Institute.
NOTE:
After performing this procedure with an after-market scan tool on vehicles equipped with Chrysler
Group's Next Generation Controller (NGC), Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) "P0633 - SKIM
SECRET KEY DATA NOT STORED IN PCM" will be set. This DTC will not effect vehicle or system
performance and cannot be erased.
SEBRING COUPE/STRATUS COUPE (ST)
Initializing the PCM on these vehicles requires the use of a DaimlerChrysler scan tool (DRBIII(R)),
J1962 MMC Cable (Special Tool CH7010), and the BLUE 5T22 PCMCIA
Diagnostic Card (Special Tool CH8425). This equipment is available for lease from
DaimlerChrysler for short periods of time. A credit card deposit will be required.
CROSSFIRE AND SPRINTER.
Initializing the PCM on these vehicles requires the use of a DaimlerChrysler scan tool (DRBIII(R)),
Multiplexer cable box (Special Tool CH 9043), and the ORANGE Crossfire PCMCIA card (Special
Tool CH9044) or the GREEN Sprinter PCMCIA card (Special Tool CH9087). This equipment is
available for lease from DaimlerChrysler for short periods of time. A credit card deposit will be
required.
The DRBIII(R) will be shipped within 24 hours to your location by an overnight delivery service.
When the DRBIII(R) is returned, your credit card will be charged the lease price.

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

IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as follows:
- In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the instrument panel area are C200 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.
- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.
- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.
- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
In addition, S001-S099 numbers are located in the engine compartment.
- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.
LOCATIONS
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
DESCRIPTION - SECTION IDENTIFICATION AND INFORMATION
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual sections. If a component is most likely found in a
particular group, it will be shown complete (all wires, connectors, and pins) within that group. For
example, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be found in Powertrain Management, so it is
shown there complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some
associated wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Splice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.
Connector Pin-Outs shows each connector and the circuits involved with that connector. The
connectors are identified using the name/number on the diagram pages.

Engine Control Module: Diagnostic Aids
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
STANDARD PROCEDURE - 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
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 3368
- 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.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Description
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 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 separately from the
ground pins.
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).

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Operation
Powertrain Control Module
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
The PCM receives input signals from various switches and sensors that are referred to as PCM
Inputs. Based on these inputs, the PCM adjusts various engine and vehicle operations through
devices that are referred to as PCM Outputs.
NOTE: PCM Inputs:
- Air Conditioning Controls
- Battery Voltage
- Brake Switch
- Camshaft Position Sensor
- Clutch Upstop Switch
- Clutch Interlock
- Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
- Fuel Level Sensor (Bus message)
- Ignition Switch
- Intake Air Temperature Sensor
- Knock Sensor
- Evaporative System Integrity Monitor
- Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
- Oil Pressure Switch
- Oxygen Sensors
- Power Steering Pressure Switch
- Speed Control Switches
- Vehicle Speed Sensor (MTX-equipped models)
NOTE: PCM Outputs:
- Air Conditioning Clutch Relay

- Manifold Flow Valve
- Oxygen Sensors Heater Controls
- Variable Valve Timing
- Vehicle Speed (Manual Transmission)
Based on inputs it receives, the PCM adjusts fuel injector pulse width, idle speed, ignition spark
advance, ignition coil dwell and EVAP canister purge operation. The PCM also determines the
appropriate transmission shift schedule and shift points, depending on the present operating
conditions and driver demand. The PCM regulates the cooling fan, air conditioning and speed
control systems. The PCM changes generator charge rate by adjusting the

generator field. The PCM also performs diagnostics.
The PCM adjusts injector pulse width (air-fuel ratio) based on the following inputs.
- Battery voltage
- Coolant temperature
- Exhaust gas content (oxygen sensor)
- Engine speed (crankshaft position sensor)
- Intake air temperature
- Manifold absolute pressure
- Throttle position
The PCM adjusts ignition timing based on the following inputs.
- Coolant temperature
- Engine speed (crankshaft position sensor)
- Knock sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure
- Throttle position
- Transmission gear selection (park/neutral switch)

The camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position sensor signals are sent to the PCM. If the
PCM does not receive the signal within approximately 1 second of engine cranking, it deactivates
the fuel pump. When these are deactivated, power is shut off to the fuel injectors, ignition coils,
oxygen sensor heating elements and fuel pump.
The PCM contains a voltage converter that changes battery voltage to a regulated 5 volt direct
current to power the camshaft position sensor, crankshaft position sensor, manifold absolute
pressure sensor, throttle position sensor, A/C pressure switch, A/C pressure transducer, and
vehicle speed sensor.

PCM/ECM/SKREEM Programming
Engine Control Module: Testing and Inspection PCM/ECM/SKREEM Programming
PCM/ECM/SKREEM PROGRAMMING
NOTE: Before replacing the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Engine Control Module (ECM),
be certain to check the related component/circuit integrity for failures not detected due to a double
fault in the circuit. Most PCM/ECM driver/control circuit failures are caused by internal component
failures (i.e. relays and solenoids) and shorted circuits (i.e. pull-ups, drivers, and switched circuits).
These failures are difficult to detect when a double fault has occurred and only one DTC has been
set.
When a PCM, or ECM, and the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) on vehicles equipped
with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the
following steps in order:
1. Program the new PCM or ECM.
2. Program the new SKREEM (also sometimes referred to as the Wireless Control Module or
WCM).
3. Replace all ignition keys and program them into the new SKREEM/WCM.
PROGRAMMING THE SKREEM
The SKIS Secret Key is an ID code that is unique to each SKREEM/WCM. This code is
programmed and stored in the SKREEM/WCM, the PCM/ECM, and each ignition key transponder
chip. When the PCM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret Key into
the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in the
diagnostic scan tool for "PCM Replaced" or "WCM Replaced" under "Miscellaneous Functions" for
the "WCM/Wireless Control Module" menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: If the PCM/ECM and the SKREEM/WCM are replaced at the same time, all vehicle ignition
keys will need to be replaced and new keys programmed into the new SKREEM/WCM.
NOTE: Programming the PCM/ECM or SKREEM is done using a diagnostic scan tool and a PIN to
enter secure access mode. If eight attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an
incorrect PIN, secure access mode will be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn
the ignition to the RUN position for one hour then enter the correct PIN. (Ensure all accessories are
turned OFF. Also monitor the battery state and connect a battery charger if necessary).
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE menu item.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any
other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
- Programming Not Attempted - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status and
there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- Programming Key Failed (Possible Used Key From Wrong Vehicle) - SKREEM is unable to
program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is faulty.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.
- 8 Keys Already Learned, Programming Not Done - The SKREEM transponder ID memory is full.
- Learned Key In Ignition - The ID for the ignition key transponder currently in the ignition lock
cylinder is already programmed into SKREEM memory.

Engine Control Module: Testing and Inspection 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.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The PCM sends approximately 5 volts to the Hall-effect sensor. This voltage is required to operate
the Hall-effect chip and the electronics inside the sensor. The input to the PCM occurs on a 5 volt
output reference circuit. A ground for the sensor is provided through the sensor return circuit. The
PCM identifies camshaft position by registering the change from 5 to 0 volts, as signaled from the
camshaft position sensor.
The PCM determines fuel injection synchronization and cylinder identification from inputs provided
by the camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position sensor. From the two inputs, the PCM
determines crankshaft position.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The PCM sends approximately 5 volts to the Hall-effect sensor. This voltage is required to operate
the Hall-effect chip and the electronics inside the sensor. A ground for the sensor is provided
through the sensor return circuit. The input to the PCM occurs on a 5 volt output reference circuit
that operates as follows: The Hall-effect sensor contains a powerful magnet. As the magnetic field
passes over the dense portion of the counterweight, the 5-volt signal is pulled to ground (0.3 volts)
through a transistor in the sensor. When the magnetic field passes over the notches in the
crankshaft counterweight, the magnetic field turns off the transistor in the sensor, causing the PCM
to register the 5-volt signal. The PCM identifies crankshaft position by registering the change from
5 to 0 volts, as signaled from the Crankshaft Position sensor (2).
The PCM determines which cylinder to fire from the crankshaft position sensor input and the
camshaft position sensor input. The #8 crankshaft counterweight has a target ring with 32 teeth
and notches (1), including one long reference tooth and notch. From the crankshaft position sensor
input the PCM determines engine speed and crankshaft angle (position).

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION

vibration that is caused by detonation or preignition.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When the knock sensor detects a knock in one of the cylinders, it sends an input signal to the
PCM. In response, the PCM retards ignition timing for all cylinders by a scheduled amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric material which constantly vibrates and sends an input
voltage (signal) to the PCM while the engine operates. As the intensity of the crystal's vibration
increases, the knock sensor output voltage also increases.
The voltage signal produced by the knock sensor increases with the amplitude of vibration. The
PCM receives as an input the knock sensor voltage signal. If the signal rises above a
predetermined level, the PCM will store that value in memory and retard ignition timing to reduce
engine knock. If the knock sensor voltage exceeds a preset value, the PCM retards ignition timing
for all cylinders. It is not a selective cylinder retard.
The PCM ignores knock sensor input during engine idle conditions. Once the engine speed
exceeds a specified value, ignition timing retard is allowed.
Ignition timing is retarded uses its own short term and long term memory program.
Long term memory stores previous detonation information in its battery-backed RAM. The
maximum authority that long term memory has over timing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard ignition timing up to a preset amount under all operating
conditions (as long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except WOT. The PCM, using short term
memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term memory
is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening affects knock sensor performance, possibly causing improper
spark control.

Manifold Pressure/Vacuum Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The MAP serves as a PCM input, using a silicon based sensing unit, to provide data on the
manifold vacuum that draws the air/fuel mixture into the combustion chamber. The PCM requires
this information to determine injector pulse width and spark advance. When MAP equals
Barometric pressure, the pulse width will be at maximum.
Also like the cam and crank sensors, a 5 volt reference is supplied from the PCM and returns a
voltage signal to the PCM that reflects manifold pressure. The zero pressure reading is 0.5 volt and
full scale is 4.5 volt. For a pressure swing of 0 - 15 psi the voltage changes 4.0 volt. The sensor is
supplied a regulated 4.8 to 5.1 volts to operate the sensor. Like the cam and crank sensors ground
is provided through the sensor return circuit.
The MAP sensor input is the number one contributor to pulse width. The most important function of
the MAP sensor is to determine barometric pressure. The PCM needs to know if the vehicle is at
sea level or is it in Denver at 5000 feet above sea level, because the air density changes with
altitude. It will also help to correct for varying weather conditions. If a hurricane was coming through
the pressure would be very, very low or there could be a real fair weather, high pressure area. This
is important because as air pressure changes the barometric pressure changes. Barometric
pressure and altitude have a direct inverse correlation, as altitude goes up barometric goes down.
The first thing that happens as the key is rolled on, before reaching the crank position, the PCM
powers up, comes around and looks at the MAP voltage, and based upon the voltage it sees, it
knows the current barometric pressure relative to altitude. Once the engine starts, the PCM looks
at the voltage again, continuously every 12 milliseconds, and compares the current voltage to what
it was at key on. The difference between current and what it was at key on is manifold vacuum.
During key On (engine not running) the sensor reads (updates) barometric pressure. A normal
range can be obtained by monitoring known good sensor in your work area.
As the altitude increases the air becomes thinner (less oxygen). If a vehicle is started and driven to
a very different altitude than where it was at key On the barometric pressure needs to be updated.
Any time the PCM sees Wide Open throttle, based upon TPS angle and RPM it will update
barometric pressure in the MAP memory cell. With periodic updates, the PCM can make its
calculations more effectively.
The PCM uses the MAP sensor to aid in calculating the following:
- Barometric pressure
- Engine load
- Manifold pressure
- Injector pulse-width
- Spark-advance programs
- Shift-point strategies (F4AC1 transmissions only, via the PCI bus)
- Idle speed
- Decel fuel shutoff
The PCM recognizes a decrease in manifold pressure by monitoring a decrease in voltage from the
reading stored in the barometric pressure memory cell. The MAP sensor is a linear sensor; as
pressure changes, voltage changes proportionately. The range of voltage output from the sensor is
usually between 4.6 volts at sea level to as low as 0.3 volts at 88 kPa (26 in. Hg). Barometric
pressure is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere upon an object. At sea level on a standard
day, no storm, barometric pressure is 101 kPa (29.92 in. Hg). For every 30.5 meters (100 feet) of
altitude barometric pressure drops .33 kPa (0.10 in. Hg). If a storm goes through it can either add,
high pressure, or decrease, low pressure, from what should be present for that altitude. You should
make a habit of knowing what the average pressure and corresponding barometric pressure is for
your area.

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Separate upstream and downstream grounds are used on the NGC vehicles (4 Cyl.).
As vehicles accumulate mileage, the catalytic convertor deteriorates. The deterioration results in a
less efficient catalyst. To monitor catalytic convertor deterioration, the fuel injection system uses
two heated oxygen sensors. One sensor upstream of the catalytic convertor, one downstream of
the convertor. The PCM compares the reading from the sensors to calculate the catalytic convertor
oxygen storage capacity and converter efficiency. Also, the PCM uses the upstream heated oxygen
sensor input when adjusting injector pulse width.
When the catalytic converter efficiency drops below emission standards, the PCM stores a
diagnostic trouble code and illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
The O2 sensors produce a constant 2.5 volts on NGC vehicles, depending upon the oxygen
content of the exhaust gas. When a large amount of oxygen is present (caused by a lean air/fuel
mixture, can be caused by misfire and exhaust leaks), the sensors produce a low voltage. When
there is a lesser amount of oxygen present (caused by a rich air/fuel mixture, which can be caused
by internal engine problems) it produces a higher voltage. By monitoring the oxygen content and
converting it to electrical voltage, the sensors act as a rich-lean switch.
The oxygen sensors are equipped with a heating element that keeps the sensors at proper
operating temperature during all operating modes. Maintaining correct sensor temperature at all
times allows the system to enter into closed loop operation sooner. Also, it allows the system to
remain in closed loop operation during periods of extended idle.
In Closed Loop operation the PCM monitors the O2 sensor's input (along with other inputs) and
adjusts the injector pulse width accordingly. During Open Loop operation the PCM ignores the O2
sensor input. The PCM adjusts injector pulse width based on preprogrammed (fixed) values and
inputs from other sensors.
The NGC Controller has a common ground for the heater in the O2S. 12 volts is supplied to the
heater in the O2S by the NGC controller. Both the upstream and downstream O2 sensors for NGC
are pulse width modulation (PWM).
NOTE: When replacing an O2 Sensor, the PCM RAM memory must be cleared, either by
disconnecting the PCM C-1 connector or momentarily disconnecting the Battery negative terminal.
The NGC learns the characteristics of each O2 heater element and these old values should be
cleared when installing a new O2 sensor. The customer may experience driveability issues if this is
not performed.
UPSTREAM OXYGEN SENSOR
The input from the upstream heated oxygen sensor tells the PCM the oxygen content of the
exhaust gas. Based on this input, the PCM fine tunes the air-fuel ratio by adjusting injector pulse
width.
The sensor input switches from 2.5 to 3.5 volt, depending upon the oxygen content of the exhaust
gas in the exhaust manifold. When a large amount of oxygen is present (caused by a lean air-fuel
mixture), the sensor produces voltage as low as 2.5 volt. When there is a lesser amount of oxygen
present (rich air-fuel mixture) the sensor produces a voltage as high as 3.5 volt. By monitoring the
oxygen content and converting it to electrical voltage, the sensor acts as a rich-lean switch.
The heating element in the sensor provides heat to the sensor ceramic element. Heating the
sensor allows the system to enter into closed loop operation sooner. Also, it allows the system to
remain in closed loop operation during periods of extended idle.
In Closed Loop, the PCM adjusts injector pulse width based on the upstream heated oxygen
sensor input along with other inputs. In Open Loop, the PCM adjusts injector pulse width based on
preprogrammed (fixed) values and inputs from other sensors.
DOWNSTREAM OXYGEN SENSOR
The downstream heated oxygen sensor input is used to detect catalytic convertor deterioration. As
the convertor deteriorates, the input from the downstream sensor begins to match the upstream
sensor input except for a slight time delay. By comparing the downstream heated oxygen sensor
input to the input from the upstream sensor, the PCM calculates catalytic convertor efficiency. This
is also used to establish the upstream O2 goal voltage (switching point).

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
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.

- 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
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
DESCRIPTION - SECTION IDENTIFICATION AND INFORMATION
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual sections. If a component is most likely found in a
particular group, it will be shown complete (all wires, connectors, and pins) within that group. For
example, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be found in Powertrain Management, so it is
shown there complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some
associated wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Splice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 3563
- 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.

Variable Valve Timing Solenoid: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Variable valve timing solenoid assembly. The solenoid receives pulse width modulation signal and
the current is controlled within 0 ma to 1000 ma. The spool position is controllable at any position to
control supply of oil between the advance and retard ports.

Variable Valve Timing Solenoid: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
There is both an Intake and an exhaust camshaft sensor on vehicles equipped with a World
Engine. The variable valve timing system used on World Engines requires the exact position of
both the intake and exhaust camshaft. The GPEC1 uses camshaft sensor data along with
crankshaft data to determine the actual position of the camshafts. Intake and exhaust phaser oil
control valves are required on World Engine vehicles using variable valve timing. The oil valves
direct oil to the Intake and exhaust phasers. Oil pressure in the phasers moves the camshafts to an
advanced or retarded position.
To resolve this inherent conflict between optimum high and low speed valve timing, the GPEC1
controlled engine uses a variable valve timing system. The variable valve timing system advances
and retards valve timing by rotating the position of both the intake and exhaust camshafts. With this
system, the intake valve opening can range from 80 to 120 crankshaft degrees after Top Dead
Center. Likewise, the exhaust valve opening can range from 85 to 120 crankshaft degrees before
Top Dead Center. This degree of flexibility provides many benefits, including: Improved Engine
Performance, Increased Fuel Economy, Improved Idle Stability and Decreased Engine Emissions.
In non operating condition, the camshaft stays in lockpin position of cam phases. This is 120
degrees ATDC for intake camshaft and 120 degrees BTDC for exhaust camshaft.
The variable valve timing system is electronically controlled and hydraulically operated. The
GPEC1 receives information from many sensors to determine the optimum valve timing. It then
pulse-width modulates oil control valves which direct oil to the cam phasers. The cam phasers use
oil pressure to rotate the intake and exhaust camshafts. The rotation of the camshafts is referred to
as cam phasing. Before the GPEC1 can begin commanding the camshaft phasing, several
enabling conditions must be met:
- The engine oil temperature must be at least -6.6° C (20° F)
- The oil control valve coil temperature must be less than 140° C (284° F)
- Engine speed must be at least 600 to 1000 rpm to achieve minimum oil pressure.
- Battery voltage must be at least 10 volts
- And there must be no camshaft or crankshaft sensor faults, engine timing faults, or oil control
valve faults
First we will examine variable valve timing enabling conditions, and then we will take a closer look
at the inputs and outputs of the system:
- Accelerator pedal position sensor
- Oil temperature sensor
- Map sensor
- Intake cam sensor
- Exhaust cam sensor
- Crankshaft sensor
- GPEC1
- Exhaust phaser oil control valve
- Intake phaser oil control valve
- Inputs
- Engine control module
- Outputs
- Sensed battery voltage
A minimum oil temperature is required to enable variable valve timing operation. Oil temperature
and viscosity also have an impact on the operation of variable valve timing after start-up. Oil is
used to control the movement of the camshafts. An incorrect oil viscosity could adversely affect the
operation of the system or even render the system inoperative. It may even set a fault code.
The accelerator pedal position sensor indicates how far the driver wants to open the throttle plate.
The GPEC1 calculates an initial camshaft set point based on whether the accelerator pedal is at
part throttle or wide open throttle.
The MAP sensor provides information regarding engine load.
Sensed battery voltage provides information regarding current system voltage. Sensed battery
voltage must be at least 10 volts in order for the oil control valves to function properly.
This information allows the GPEC1 to adjust camshaft timing to achieve the best fuel economy, the
best engine performance or a combination of both. The hall-effect crankshaft sensor provides RPM
information and determines when the number one piston is approaching Top Dead Center. The
sensor generates a signal as the tone wheel, attached to the crankshaft, rotates. The tone wheel
has 60 teeth minus two. When the gap, created by the missing teeth passes by the sensor, a signal
is produced that indicates the number one piston is at Top Dead Center. The GPEC1 uses
crankshaft sensor data along with camshaft data to determine the actual position of the camshaft.
There are two hall-effect camshaft sensors on engines equipped with variable valve timing. The
GPEC1 uses camshaft sensor data along with crankshaft data to determine the actual position of
the camshaft.
The GPEC1 individually controls each valve. It sends a pulse width modulated signal to move a
spool within the outer casing of the valve. Depending upon spool movement, oil is directed through
the passages to advance or retard cam timing. The oil control valve also has a special cleaning
strategy at
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Variable Valve Timing Solenoid
> Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 3581
key-on. The cleaning strategy is known as "debris crush mode". At key-on the GPEC1 cycles the
oil control valve on and off several (5) times to crush any debris in the oil control valve and prevent
the spool valve from sticking. In non operating condition, the camshaft stays in lockpin position of
cam phases. This is 120 degrees ATDC for intake camshaft and 120 degrees BTDC for exhaust
camshaft.
There are two oil control valves. One valve directs oil to the intake cam phaser, the other valve
directs oil to the exhaust cam phaser. The valves are designed and function in the same manner.
The outer casing of each oil valve has five oil passages. A passage for pressurized supply oil. A
passage to the advance chamber of the cam phaser. A passage to the retard chamber of the cam
phaser. A passage for oil return from the advance chamber of the cam phaser. A passage for oil
return from the retard chamber of the cam phaser. Oil flows through the passages and applies
pressure to the cam phasers to change cam timing.
There are two cam phasers. One phaser controls the position of the intake camshaft. The other
phaser controls the position of the exhaust camshaft. The phasers consist of a sprocket, a rotor
vane, and a housing or stator. The exhaust cam phaser also consists of a front bushing and spring.
We will discuss the purpose and function of the bushing and spring later. The housing is bolted and
permanently fixed to the camshaft sprocket, while the rotor vane is bolted and permanently fixed to
the camshaft. With this design, any movement of the rotor vane in relation to the housing will also
move the camshaft. The phaser and sprocket are serviced as an assembly.
Camshaft and crankshaft sensors provide feedback to the GPEC1 regarding the actual position of
the camshafts. The GPEC1 then compares the actual camshaft positioning with desired
positioning. If the desired positioning is not achieved within a specified time, during the second key
cycle a trouble code is set.
There are six new diagnostic trouble codes available to help you determine if the control circuit
from the GPEC1 to the oil control valve is intact and operating properly. The codes identify whether
the control circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to power. Three trouble codes are related
to intake camshaft positioning, the other three codes are specific to exhaust camshaft positioning.
The oil control valve contains both electrical and mechanical components. It is electrically
controlled by the GPEC1. The electrical current that energizes the coil results in mechanical motion
of the spool valve. It is possible to verify both the electrical and mechanical operation of the valve.
The oil control valve consists of a coil that is energized to move a spool within an outer casing. The
condition of the coil can be tested with a Digital Volt Ohmmeter or DVOM. With the DVOM set to
measure resistance, check the coil for an open, a short to ground, or excessive resistance. The
correct resistance value of the coil is between 6 and 8 ohms. The mechanical operation of the oil
control valve can be tested using actuator commands on the scan tool. Remove the oil control
valve, then navigate to the actuator menu and select the oil control valve. Use commands to
activate the valve and watch as the spool valve moves back and forth inside the casing.
Because the cam phasers are hydraulically operated by engine oil, the condition of the oil is very
important. The oil must be of the correct viscosity, not obstructed by debris, to maintain correct
pressure. Maintaining the correct oil viscosity is critical to the operation of the variable valve timing
system. The wrong oil viscosity may cause the variable valve timing to malfunction and trouble
codes to set. The correct oil viscosity for this system is 5W20. Oil must be clean, unobstructed and
free to flow through the variable valve timing system. Oil could become obstructed in oil passages
located in the cylinder head, cylinder block, or even in the oil screen. In the event oil flow is
obstructed, further diagnosis or disassembly may be required to pin point the source of the
obstruction. The variable valve timing system relies on oil pressure to advance or retard the
position of the camshaft. Insufficient oil pressure will adversely affect the operation of variable valve
timing. The minimum oil pressure for this system is 15 psi at normal operating temperature.
Though not directly used to change camshaft positioning, the oil screen is an important component
of the variable valve timing system. It helps to remove debris going to the variable valve timing
components. The oil screen is located in the cylinder block, immediately below the cylinder head.
Oil must pass through the oil screen before entering the oil control valve. The cylinder head must
be removed to service the oil screen. The intention is not to service the oil screen during vehicle
life.
How the cam phaser works. The cam phaser assembly has eight separate chambers; four advance
chambers and four retard chambers. When camshaft advance is requested, oil enters all four
advance chambers and exerts force on the rotor vane. Because the rotor vane is bolted to the
camshaft, the entire camshaft profile moves along with the rotor vane. At the same time, oil is
forced out of the retard chambers. When camshaft retard is requested oil enters the retard
chambers to move the camshaft in the opposite direction. There is a lock pin on one side of the
rotor vane that fits inside a recessed area in the housing. The lock pin ensures that the default
position of the intake cam phaser is 120 crankshaft degrees full retard and the default position of
the exhaust cam phaser is 120 crankshaft degrees full advance. When the engine is turned off,
rotational force and inertia move the intake camshaft and rotor vane toward the retard position. The
exhaust cam phaser includes a spring and bushing to work against the rotational force of the
engine, allowing the exhaust cam phaser to lock in the fully advanced position. Under most
conditions the cam phasers are returned to lock pin position when the engine is turned off. In the
unique condition of an engine stall, which abruptly shuts off the engine, the cam phasers may not
return to the lock pin position. In this case, the phasers will return to the lock pin position at the next
start-up. Lock pin position is the most ideal cam timing for idle stability. When engine rpm exceeds
approximately 600 to 1000 rpm, oil pressure unlocks the pins and variable valve timing resumes.
Once enabling conditions are met, the GPEC1 uses input from sensors to calculate optimum valve
timing.
There are four preprogrammed modes from which the GPEC1 bases initial valve timing.
- Starting
- Idle or Part throttle
- Wide open throttle
- Limp-in or Default
From each preprogrammed mode, the GPEC1 adjusts valve timing based on operating conditions.

GPEC1 has calculated optimum intake valve timing of 112 degrees after Top Dead Center and
optimum exhaust valve timing of 97 degrees before Top Dead Center. The GPEC1 pulse width
modulates the oil control valves to advance or retard the camshaft to their desired location. The
spool valve inside the intake oil control valve is energized and moves to allow pressurized oil into
the advance chambers of the intake cam phaser. At the same time, the spool valve inside the
exhaust oil control valve is energized and moves to allow pressurized oil into the retard chambers
of the exhaust cam phaser. Oil enters the advance chambers of the intake phaser and the retard
chambers of the exhaust phaser. Oil pressure releases the lock pin from its locked position and
pushes against the rotor vane. Both the rotor vanes are moved, advancing the intake camshaft and
retarding the exhaust camshaft.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
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
STANDARD PROCEDURE - 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

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3612
- 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.

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation Catalytic Converter
DESCRIPTION
The combination exhaust manifold/catalytic converter is attached to the intermediate pipe using
fasteners and a gasket for sealing.
WARNING: The normal operating temperature of the exhaust system is very high. Therefore, never
work around or attempt to service any part of the exhaust system until it is cooled. Special care
should be taken when working near the catalytic converter. The temperature of the converter rises
to a high level after a short period of engine operation time.
CAUTION: DO NOT remove spark plug wires from plugs or by any other means short out cylinders.
Failure of the catalytic converter can occur due to a temperature increase caused by unburned fuel
passing through the converter.
The stainless steel catalytic converter body is designed to last the life of the vehicle. Excessive
heat can result in bulging or other distortion, but excessive heat will not be the fault of the
converter. If unburned fuel enters the converter, overheating may occur. If a converter is
heat-damaged, correct the cause of the damage at the same time the converter is replaced. Also,
inspect all other components of the exhaust system for heat damage.
Unleaded gasoline must be used to avoid contaminating the catalyst core.
FWD vehicles use a catalytic converter located after the exhaust manifold and before the
I-Pipe/Muffler assembly.
AWD vehicles use a maniverter and an under floor catalytic converter. The under floor catalytic
converter is located between the maniverter and the I-Pipe/muffler assembly.
Diesel engine vehicles use a catalytic converter located between the turbocharger and the
I-Pipe/Muffler assembly.

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation Converter-Catalytic
OPERATION - GAS ENGINE
The three-way catalytic converter simultaneously converts three exhaust emissions into harmless
gases. Specifically, HC and CO emissions are converted into water (H2O) and carbon dioxide
(CO2). Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) are converted into Nitrogen (N) and Oxygen. The three-way
catalyst is most efficient in converting HC, CO and NOx at the stoichiometric air fuel ratio of 14.7:1.
The oxygen content in a catalyst is important for efficient conversion of exhaust gases. When a
high oxygen content (lean) air/fuel ratio is present for an extended period, oxygen content in a
catalyst can reach a maximum. When a rich air/fuel ratio is present for an extended period, the
oxygen content in the catalyst can become totally depleted. When this occurs, the catalyst fails to
convert the gases. This is known as catalyst "punch through."
Catalyst operation is dependent on its ability to store and release the oxygen needed to complete
the emissions-reducing chemical reactions. As a catalyst deteriorates, its ability to store oxygen is
reduced. Since the catalyst's ability to store oxygen is somewhat related to proper operation,
oxygen storage can be used as an indicator of catalyst performance. Refer to the appropriate
Diagnostic Information for diagnosis of a catalyst related Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
The combustion reaction caused by the catalyst releases additional heat in the exhaust system,
causing temperature increases in the area of the reactor under severe operating conditions. Such
conditions can exist when the engine misfires or otherwise does not operate at peak efficiency. Do
not remove spark plug wires from plugs or by any other means short out cylinders. Failure of the
catalytic converter can occur due to temperature increases caused by unburned fuel passing
through the converter. This deterioration of the catalyst core can result in excessively high emission
levels, noise complaints, and exhaust restrictions.
Unleaded gasoline must be used to avoid ruining the catalyst core. Do not allow engine to operate
above 1200 RPM in neutral for extended periods over 5 minutes. This condition may result in
excessive exhaust system/floor pan temperatures because of no air movement under the vehicle.
The flex joint allows flexing as the engine moves, preventing breakage that could occur from the
back-and-forth motion of a transverse mounted engine.
CAUTION: Due to exterior physical similarities of some catalytic converters with pipe assemblies,
extreme care should be taken with replacement parts. There are internal converter differences
required in some parts of the country (particularly vehicles built for States with strict emission
requirements) and between model years.

Catalytic Converter: Procedures
INSPECTION
WARNING: The normal operating temperature of the exhaust system is very high. Therefore, never
attempt to service any part of the exhaust system until it is cooled. Special care should be taken
when working near the catalytic converter. The temperature of the converter rises to a high level
after a short period of engine operation time.
Check catalytic converter for a flow restriction.
Visually inspect the catalytic converter element by using a borescope or equivalent. Remove
oxygen sensor(s) and insert borescope. If borescope is not available, remove converter and
inspect element using a flashlight. Inspect element for cracked or melted substrate.
NOTE: Before replacing a catalytic converter, determine the root cause of failure. Most catalytic
converter failures are caused by air, fuel or ignition problems. (Refer to Appropriate Diagnostic
Information) for test procedures.

Canister Purge Solenoid: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
All vehicles use a proportional purge solenoid. The solenoid regulates the rate of vapor flow from
the EVAP canister to the intake manifold. The PCM operates the solenoid.
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.

Evaporative Emission Control Canister: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
All vehicles use a maintenance free, evaporative (EVAP) canister. Fuel tank vapors vent into the
canister. The canister temporarily holds the fuel vapors until intake manifold vacuum draws them
into the combustion chamber. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) purges the canister through
the proportional purge solenoid. The PCM purges the canister at predetermined intervals and
engine conditions.
Purge Free Cells
Purge-free memory cells are used to identify the fuel vapor content of the evaporative canister.
Since the evaporative canister is not purged 100% of the time, the PCM stores information about
the evaporative canister's vapor content in a memory cell.
The purge-free cells are constructed similar to certain purge-normal cells. The purge-free cells can
be monitored by the scan tool. The only difference between the purge-free cells and normal
adaptive cells is that in purge-free, the purge is completely turned off. This gives the PCM the
ability to compare purge and purge-free operation.

OPERATION
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.

EXPLODED VIEW
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 inch H20,
the vacuum switch closes. The switch closure sends a signal to the GPEC1. 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:
- 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%.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Emission Control Systems > Evaporative Emissions System > Leak
Detection Pump, Evaporative System > Component Information > Description and Operation > Page 3679
- 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 GPEC1 activating the purge solenoid to create a vacuum in the
evaporative system. The GPEC1 then measures the amount of time it takes for the vacuum to
dissipate. This is known as the vacuum decay method. If the switch opens quickly a large leak is
recorded. If the switch opens after a predetermined amount of time, then the small leak matures. If
the switch does not close, then a general evaporative failure is recorded. The purge monitor tests
the integrity of the hose attached between the purge valve and throttle body/intake. The purge
monitor is a two stage test and it runs only after the evaporative system passes the small leak test.
Even when all of the thresholds are met, a small leak wont be recorded until after the medium/large
leak monitor has been run. This is accomplished by the GPEC1 activating the purge solenoid to
create a vacuum in the evaporative system. The GPEC1 then measures the amount of time it takes
for the vacuum to dissipate. This is known as the vacuum decay method. If the switch opens
quickly a large leak is recorded. If the switch opens after a predetermined amount of time, then the
small leak matures. If the medium/large leak test runs and the ESIM switch doesn't close, a general
evaporative test is run. The purge solenoid is activated for approximately 10 seconds, increasing
the amount of vacuum in the system. IF the ESIM switch closes after the extended purge
activation, a large leak fault is generated. If the switch doesn't close, a general evaporative system
fault is generated.
The purge monitor tests the integrity of the hose attached between the purge valve and throttle
body/intake. The purge monitor is a two stage test and it runs only after the evaporative system
passes the small leak test.
Stage one of the purge monitor is non-intrusive. GPEC1 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 GPEC 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 GPEC1 sees 0 rpms, the purge solenoid is energized for a
maximum of 30 seconds, venting any vacuum trapped in the evaporative system. If the switch
opens or was open before the test began, the monitor passes. If the switch doesn't open, the
monitor fails. This is a two-trip MIL. The star scan tool can be used to force the ESIM switch stick
closed monitor to run.
The GPEC1 also uses the ESIM to detect a loose or missing gas cap. The GPEC1 controller looks
for a change in the fuel level (25% minimum) and then gas cap is loose or missing. If a
medium/large leak is detected, a loose gas cap light illuminates and a pending one-trip fault code is
set. On the GPEC1, this is a three-trip fault before the code matures.

Positive Crankcase Ventilation Valve: Description and Operation 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.

NOTE:
This bulletin applies to all vehicles equipped with a gasoline engine.
NOTE:
Do not replace the gas cap if only DTC P0457 - Evap System - Loose Fuel Cap is present.
DISCUSSION:
Starting with the introduction of 2005 model year vehicles a new diagnostic trouble code (DTC)
P0457 - Evap System - Loose Fuel Cap was introduced. Also added to some vehicles was an
instrument cluster message in the odometer display or message center (EVIC) that alerts the driver
that the gas cap is loose.
The PCM monitors the fuel level for a "significant" change in either direction and remembers that
this has recently occurred. A loose fuel cap DTC, cluster message or message center message
matures when the check for the EVAP system large leak condition fails after the fuel level change
event. If a leak of greater than 0.090" is observed after a fuel level change, a loose cap diagnostic
single trip failure is stored and the cluster message or message center message is displayed even
though a DTC may not yet be present. DTC P0457 - Evap System - Loose Fuel Cap is stored and
the MIL illuminated after 2 cold start failures of the large leak diagnostic checks following a fuel
change event. Only the passing of one of the 3 EVAP system diagnostic routines large leak, small
leak or loose gas cap) by the PCM will validate that the cap is no longer loose and turn off the MIL
light or message.
For 2007 model vehicles DTC P0457 - Evap System - Loose Fuel Cap will be stored and the MIL
illuminated after 3 cold starts.
To temporarily clear the gas cap loose message from the odometer or message center press the
reset button on the odometer or message center while the message is being displayed. This clears
the message for the current key cycle only.
NOTE:
The above works for all vehicles except, 2005 - 2006 Grand Cherokee or Commander. For these,
the scantool must be used)
To clear the gas cap loose message from the odometer or message center ensure the gas cap is
tight and let the vehicle run the small leak diagnostic

routine. The small leak diagnostic routine will pass a sealed system after an 8 hour soak and a
negative 3° C change in fuel temperature from the last key cycle.
NOTE:
A heated garage may effect the small leak diagnostic routine.
To clear the gas cap loose message from the odometer or message center and matured DTC (MIL
light) diagnose and repair the leak and then erase DTC's with the DRBIII(R)/StarSCAN(TM)
scantool
NOTE:
The DRBIII(R)/StarSCAN(TM) scantool may be used to reset the Loose Cap message. Select the
PCM Reset function on StarSCAN(TM) (version 6.05_SPI or higher) or the Clear PCM Batt
Disconnect function on DRB III(R). Disconnecting and reconnecting the battery will also clear the
message.
If a gas cap loose message is displayed or DTC P0457 - Evap System - Loose Fuel Cap is set
without P0455 - Evap System Large Leak then ensure the gas cap it tight, no further service action
is required.

OPERATION
The fuel filler cap incorporates a two-way relief valve that is closed to atmosphere during normal
operating conditions. The relief valve is calibrated to open when a pressure of 17 kPa (2.5 psi) or
vacuum of 3 kPa (12 in. Hg) occurs in the fuel tank. When the pressure or vacuum is relieved, the
valve returns to the normally closed position.
CAUTION: Remove the fuel filler cap to release fuel tank pressure before disconnecting any fuel
system component.

Fuel Injector: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The injectors are positioned in the intake manifold with the nozzle ends directly above the intake
valve port.

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

Throttle Body: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The throttle body mounts to the intake manifold. The throttle position sensor and throttle actuating
DC motor are integral to the throttle body. The throttle body is a non serviceable item, replace the
throttle body as an assembly.
The throttle blade will not close completely when engine is shut down. This engine off blade
position is for start up. The electric throttle body will adjust the throttle blade for idle control as the
idle air control valve adjusted idle speed previously on cable actuated throttle bodies. The electric
throttle body will also adjust the throttle blade for normal driving operation. The throttle blade will
move to the engine off blade position if throttle body codes are set to provide air for limp-in mode.

Variable Induction Control Valve: Description and Operation
OPERATION
The World Engine is equipped with an intake manifold flow control valve to promote maximum
air/fuel atomization. The valve restricts airflow, causing it to tumble or swirl. The tumbling action
helps ensure that the fuel and air mix thoroughly and burn faster. The intake manifold flow control
valve and variable valve timing work together to improve fuel economy, idle stability, and
emissions.
The electrically controlled intake manifold flow control valve is located in the intake manifold at the
cylinder head. The intake manifold is constructed of composite material and divided into equal
length runners. At the end of each runner is an intake manifold flow control valve flap. The intake
manifold flow control valve actuator controls the flaps through a common shaft.
The intake manifold flow control valve actuator is a two-position torque motor that is pulse-width
driven by the GPEC1. The actuator is either energized to move the flaps out of the way to the
wide-open position or de-energized to move the flaps up, to a restricted position.
The intake manifold flow control valve actuator also contains a potentiometer feedback system to
aid in diagnosis. The potentiometer circuit reports the actual position of the intake manifold flow
control valve flaps. The GPEC1 compares the actual position with the desired position to ensure
that the system is functioning correctly. The intake manifold flow control valve flaps are the
mechanical components that restrict airflow to the intake ports. When the valves are moved
upward, airflow is restricted and tumble occurs. When the valves are flat against the manifold, the
full, unrestricted air charge flows to the intake ports.
It is energized under specific operating conditions: At high engine speeds (greater than 3600 rpm
on the 1.8 and 2.0 liter or greater than 4000 rpm on the 2.4 liter) or at wide-open throttle, the intake
manifold flow control valve actuator is energized and the flaps move to the wide-open position, at
lower engine speeds (less than 3600 rpm on the 1.8 and 2.0 liter or less than 4000 rpm on the 2.4
liter), the actuator is de-energized allowing the flaps to remain in the restricted position. The flap is
held at that position by the return spring.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The PCM sends approximately 5 volts to the Hall-effect sensor. This voltage is required to operate
the Hall-effect chip and the electronics inside the sensor. The input to the PCM occurs on a 5 volt
output reference circuit. A ground for the sensor is provided through the sensor return circuit. The
PCM identifies camshaft position by registering the change from 5 to 0 volts, as signaled from the
camshaft position sensor.
The PCM determines fuel injection synchronization and cylinder identification from inputs provided
by the camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position sensor. From the two inputs, the PCM
determines crankshaft position.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft position sensor mounts to the rear of the engine block near the transmission.
The PCM uses the Crankshaft Position sensor to calculate the following:
- Engine RPM
- TDC number 1 and 4
- Ignition coil synchronization
- Injector synchronization
- Camshaft-to-crankshaft misalignment (Timing belt skipped 1 tooth or more diagnostic trouble
code).

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The PCM sends approximately 5 volts to the Hall-effect sensor. This voltage is required to operate
the Hall-effect chip and the electronics inside the sensor. A ground for the sensor is provided
through the sensor return circuit. The input to the PCM occurs on a 5 volt output reference circuit
that operates as follows: The Hall-effect sensor contains a powerful magnet. As the magnetic field
passes over the dense portion of the counterweight, the 5-volt signal is pulled to ground (0.3 volts)
through a transistor in the sensor. When the magnetic field passes over the notches in the
crankshaft counterweight, the magnetic field turns off the transistor in the sensor, causing the PCM
to register the 5-volt signal. The PCM identifies crankshaft position by registering the change from
5 to 0 volts, as signaled from the Crankshaft Position sensor (2).
The PCM determines which cylinder to fire from the crankshaft position sensor input and the
camshaft position sensor input. The #8 crankshaft counterweight has a target ring with 32 teeth
and notches (1), including one long reference tooth and notch. From the crankshaft position sensor
input the PCM determines engine speed and crankshaft angle (position).

Ignition Coil: Description and Operation
IGNITION SYSTEM
NOTE: All engines use a fixed ignition timing system. Basic ignition timing is not adjustable. All
spark advance is determined by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The ignition system used on these engines is referred to as the Direct Ignition System (DIS). The
system's three main components are the coils, crankshaft position sensor, and camshaft position
sensor. If equipped with the coil on plug ignition system it utilizes an ignition coil for every cylinder,
it is mounted directly over each spark plug.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The knock sensor is bolted to the cylinder block. The knock sensor is designed to detect engine
vibration that is caused by detonation or preignition.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Knock Sensor > Component Information >
Description and Operation > Description > Page 4086
Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When the knock sensor detects a knock in one of the cylinders, it sends an input signal to the
PCM. In response, the PCM retards ignition timing for all cylinders by a scheduled amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric material which constantly vibrates and sends an input
voltage (signal) to the PCM while the engine operates. As the intensity of the crystal's vibration
increases, the knock sensor output voltage also increases.
The voltage signal produced by the knock sensor increases with the amplitude of vibration. The
PCM receives as an input the knock sensor voltage signal. If the signal rises above a
predetermined level, the PCM will store that value in memory and retard ignition timing to reduce
engine knock. If the knock sensor voltage exceeds a preset value, the PCM retards ignition timing
for all cylinders. It is not a selective cylinder retard.
The PCM ignores knock sensor input during engine idle conditions. Once the engine speed
exceeds a specified value, ignition timing retard is allowed.
Ignition timing is retarded uses its own short term and long term memory program.
Long term memory stores previous detonation information in its battery-backed RAM. The
maximum authority that long term memory has over timing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard ignition timing up to a preset amount under all operating
conditions (as long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except WOT. The PCM, using short term
memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term memory
is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening affects knock sensor performance, possibly causing improper
spark control.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The PCM sends approximately 5 volts to the Hall-effect sensor. This voltage is required to operate
the Hall-effect chip and the electronics inside the sensor. The input to the PCM occurs on a 5 volt
output reference circuit. A ground for the sensor is provided through the sensor return circuit. The
PCM identifies camshaft position by registering the change from 5 to 0 volts, as signaled from the
camshaft position sensor.
The PCM determines fuel injection synchronization and cylinder identification from inputs provided
by the camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position sensor. From the two inputs, the PCM
determines crankshaft position.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft position sensor mounts to the rear of the engine block near the transmission.
The PCM uses the Crankshaft Position sensor to calculate the following:
- Engine RPM
- TDC number 1 and 4
- Ignition coil synchronization
- Injector synchronization
- Camshaft-to-crankshaft misalignment (Timing belt skipped 1 tooth or more diagnostic trouble
code).

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The PCM sends approximately 5 volts to the Hall-effect sensor. This voltage is required to operate
the Hall-effect chip and the electronics inside the sensor. A ground for the sensor is provided
through the sensor return circuit. The input to the PCM occurs on a 5 volt output reference circuit
that operates as follows: The Hall-effect sensor contains a powerful magnet. As the magnetic field
passes over the dense portion of the counterweight, the 5-volt signal is pulled to ground (0.3 volts)
through a transistor in the sensor. When the magnetic field passes over the notches in the
crankshaft counterweight, the magnetic field turns off the transistor in the sensor, causing the PCM
to register the 5-volt signal. The PCM identifies crankshaft position by registering the change from
5 to 0 volts, as signaled from the Crankshaft Position sensor (2).
The PCM determines which cylinder to fire from the crankshaft position sensor input and the
camshaft position sensor input. The #8 crankshaft counterweight has a target ring with 32 teeth
and notches (1), including one long reference tooth and notch. From the crankshaft position sensor
input the PCM determines engine speed and crankshaft angle (position).

DESCRIPTION
The knock sensor is bolted to the cylinder block. The knock sensor is designed to detect engine
vibration that is caused by detonation or preignition.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When the knock sensor detects a knock in one of the cylinders, it sends an input signal to the
PCM. In response, the PCM retards ignition timing for all cylinders by a scheduled amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric material which constantly vibrates and sends an input
voltage (signal) to the PCM while the engine operates. As the intensity of the crystal's vibration
increases, the knock sensor output voltage also increases.
The voltage signal produced by the knock sensor increases with the amplitude of vibration. The
PCM receives as an input the knock sensor voltage signal. If the signal rises above a
predetermined level, the PCM will store that value in memory and retard ignition timing to reduce
engine knock. If the knock sensor voltage exceeds a preset value, the PCM retards ignition timing
for all cylinders. It is not a selective cylinder retard.
The PCM ignores knock sensor input during engine idle conditions. Once the engine speed
exceeds a specified value, ignition timing retard is allowed.
Ignition timing is retarded uses its own short term and long term memory program.
Long term memory stores previous detonation information in its battery-backed RAM. The
maximum authority that long term memory has over timing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard ignition timing up to a preset amount under all operating
conditions (as long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except WOT. The PCM, using short term
memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term memory
is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening affects knock sensor performance, possibly causing improper
spark control.

DISCUSSION:
NOTE:
Many of the reasons a flash reprogramming procedure may not complete are documented in this
service bulletin.
Occasionally a flash update procedure may not complete properly and/or the diagnostic equipment
may lock up or become disconnected during the procedure. Flash Reprogramming is a "CRITICAL
PROCESS"; an error may result in a no-start/failed control module. Most modules, encountering an
interruption or failure while reprogramming, are recoverable. Replacing a module that is
recoverable is not covered under the provisions of the warranty.
This service bulletin covers items that may cause this condition, a process to restart the flash
procedure, and miscellaneous information that will help prevent unnecessary replacement of
control modules.
GENERAL: Flash Reprogramming is only authorized when programming a generic module or by a
specific SERVICE ACTION (Service Bulletin/Recall/Rapid Response Transmittal/Advance Service
Information).
CAUTION:
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))

When updating a module because of a Service Action, it is important to follow the steps outlined in
the Repair Procedure section of the Service Action. Procedures may differ depending on the
module that is being reprogrammed.
Review the entire Service Action prior to performing a flash reprogramming update. Often other
parts may need to be serviced, replaced, or tested, prior to flash reprogramming, and ARE
REQUIRED as part of completing the Service Action.
COMMON CAUSES OF FLASH REPROGRAMMING ERRORS
Interruptions, voltage problems, a variety of other outside interactions, and failure to follow the
steps outlined in the Service Action can potentially interfere with the process. This document seeks
to provide information to minimize problems associated with module flash reprogramming.
SOFTWARE VERSIONS MUST BE CURRENT
Before attempting a flash reprogramming session, make sure you have the most current software
installed in the scan tool (StarSCAN(R)/StarMOBILE(TM)). Refer to the current software release
information available in TechCONNECT, under: Service Info > StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(TM)
Tools > Latest News > Select the most recent release number. The technician will be able to see
the applicable version numbers.
Often, because of multiple StarSCAN(R)/StarMOBILE(TM)s in the shop, not all devices will get
updated in a timely manner. The installed StarSCAN(R)/StarMOBILE(TM) software version and
scan tool operating system version, (Fig. 2), can be verified from the "Home" screen as follows:

GENERAL NOTES FOR CABLES AND VEHICLE CONNECTIONS
Consider ALL cables to be wear items.
It is a good practice to have dedicated cables devoted to "Flash ONLY".
Always have a spare StarSCAN(R) CH9404 (vehicle) cable available.
Always have a spare StarMOBILE(TM) CH9804 (vehicle) cable available (blue cable end).
Diagnosing vehicle cable problems
Inspect vehicle cable connectors for potential problems that might cause communication
interruptions. Use the information available on DealerCONNECT under:
^ eSupport (above the "Marketing" tab)
^ Under "Knowledge Center" - select "Find Answers"
^ In the "Enter link, error message, or topic" area, type "561"
^ In the "Search By" area, select "Answer ID"
^ At the next screen, select the "StarSCAN Flash Lockup.pdf" link to access the information to
diagnose suspect vehicle cable continuity.
FLASH REPROGRAMMING PROBLEM PREVENTION
^ Follow the steps outlined in the Service Action.
^ Pay attention to the screen prompts displayed during the flash process.
^ Replace worn cables.
^ Verify the vehicle is equipped with a known good battery.
^ Ensure the battery charger charging rate provides approximately 13.2 - 13.8 volts. Set the battery
charger to continuous charge. Do not allow the charger to time out during the flash process.
**ABORTED FLASH REPROGRAMMING RECOVERY**
** The following steps may help recover a non-responsive module when the flash process is
aborted or interrupted.
1. When the Flash ECU screen displays an Error Message, select OK.
2. Turn the ignition to "off" and power down the StarSCAN(R).

DISCUSSION:
NOTE:
Many of the reasons a flash reprogramming procedure may not complete are documented in this
service bulletin.
Occasionally a flash update procedure may not complete properly and/or the diagnostic equipment
may lock up or become disconnected during the procedure. Flash Reprogramming is a "CRITICAL
PROCESS"; an error may result in a no-start/failed control module. Most modules, encountering an
interruption or failure while reprogramming, are recoverable. Replacing a module that is
recoverable is not covered under the provisions of the warranty.
This service bulletin covers items that may cause this condition, a process to restart the flash
procedure, and miscellaneous information that will help prevent unnecessary replacement of
control modules.
GENERAL: Flash Reprogramming is only authorized when programming a generic module or by a
specific SERVICE ACTION (Service Bulletin/Recall/Rapid Response Transmittal/Advance Service
Information).
CAUTION:
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))

When updating a module because of a Service Action, it is important to follow the steps outlined in
the Repair Procedure section of the Service Action. Procedures may differ depending on the
module that is being reprogrammed.
Review the entire Service Action prior to performing a flash reprogramming update. Often other
parts may need to be serviced, replaced, or tested, prior to flash reprogramming, and ARE
REQUIRED as part of completing the Service Action.
COMMON CAUSES OF FLASH REPROGRAMMING ERRORS
Interruptions, voltage problems, a variety of other outside interactions, and failure to follow the
steps outlined in the Service Action can potentially interfere with the process. This document seeks
to provide information to minimize problems associated with module flash reprogramming.
SOFTWARE VERSIONS MUST BE CURRENT
Before attempting a flash reprogramming session, make sure you have the most current software
installed in the scan tool (StarSCAN(R)/StarMOBILE(TM)). Refer to the current software release
information available in TechCONNECT, under: Service Info > StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(TM)
Tools > Latest News > Select the most recent release number. The technician will be able to see
the applicable version numbers.
Often, because of multiple StarSCAN(R)/StarMOBILE(TM)s in the shop, not all devices will get
updated in a timely manner. The installed StarSCAN(R)/StarMOBILE(TM) software version and
scan tool operating system version, (Fig. 2), can be verified from the "Home" screen as follows:
StarMOBILE Desktop Client

NOTE:
To read the version on the StarMOBILE(TM), it must be connected and the application running or
the user will receive "N/A" for the "System" value.
GENERAL NOTES FOR CABLES AND VEHICLE CONNECTIONS
Consider ALL cables to be wear items.
It is a good practice to have dedicated cables devoted to "Flash ONLY".
Always have a spare StarSCAN(R) CH9404 (vehicle) cable available.
Always have a spare StarMOBILE(TM) CH9804 (vehicle) cable available (blue cable end).
Diagnosing vehicle cable problems
Inspect vehicle cable connectors for potential problems that might cause communication
interruptions. Use the information available on DealerCONNECT under:
^ eSupport (above the "Marketing" tab)
^ Under "Knowledge Center" - select "Find Answers"
^ In the "Enter link, error message, or topic" area, type "561"
^ In the "Search By" area, select "Answer ID"
^ At the next screen, select the "StarSCAN Flash Lockup.pdf" link to access the information to
diagnose suspect vehicle cable continuity.
FLASH REPROGRAMMING PROBLEM PREVENTION
^ Follow the steps outlined in the Service Action.
^ Pay attention to the screen prompts displayed during the flash process.
^ Replace worn cables.
^ Verify the vehicle is equipped with a known good battery.
^ Ensure the battery charger charging rate provides approximately 13.2 - 13.8 volts. Set the battery
charger to continuous charge. Do not allow the charger to time out during the flash process.
**ABORTED FLASH REPROGRAMMING RECOVERY**
** The following steps may help recover a non-responsive module when the flash process is
aborted or interrupted.
1. When the Flash ECU screen displays an Error Message, select OK.
2. Turn the ignition to "off" and power down the StarSCAN(R).
3. Turn the vehicle ignition to the "On" position.

When updating a module because of a Service Action, it is important to follow the steps outlined in
the Repair Procedure section of the Service Action. Procedures may differ depending on the
module that is being reprogrammed.
Review the entire Service Action prior to performing a flash reprogramming update. Often other
parts may need to be serviced, replaced, or tested, prior to flash reprogramming, and ARE
REQUIRED as part of completing the Service Action.
COMMON CAUSES OF FLASH REPROGRAMMING ERRORS
Interruptions, voltage problems, a variety of other outside interactions, and failure to follow the
steps outlined in the Service Action can potentially interfere with the process. This document seeks
to provide information to minimize problems associated with module flash reprogramming.
SOFTWARE VERSIONS MUST BE CURRENT
Before attempting a flash reprogramming session, make sure you have the most current software
installed in the scan tool (StarSCAN(R)/StarMOBILE(TM)). Refer to the current software release
information available in TechCONNECT, under: Service Info > StarSCAN(R) and StarMOBILE(TM)
Tools > Latest News > Select the most recent release number. The technician will be able to see
the applicable version numbers.
Often, because of multiple StarSCAN(R)/StarMOBILE(TM)s in the shop, not all devices will get
updated in a timely manner. The installed StarSCAN(R)/StarMOBILE(TM) software version and
scan tool operating system version, (Fig. 2), can be verified from the "Home" screen as follows:

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.

Clutch Disc: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The modular clutch assembly (1) is located between the engine and manual transaxle in the
transaxle bellhousing, and is responsible for transmitting engine power to the transaxle. The
modular clutch is an assembly which incorporates a self-adjusting design and consists of the
following components:
- Flywheel
- Clutch Disc
- Pressure Plate
- Diaphragm Spring
- Adjusting Ring
- Sensor
- Cover

Clutch Disc: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The modular clutch assembly is designed to transmit power from the engine to the manual
transaxle. This is accomplished by the friction and clamping force generated when the spring
loaded pressure plate locks the clutch disc to the flywheel. The clutch disc, which is splined to the
transaxle input shaft, transmits power until the center of the diaphragm spring is depressed, and
the clamp force is removed from the disc.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Clutch, M/T > Clutch Disc, M/T > Component Information >
Description and Operation > Description > Page 4447
The self-adjusting feature of this clutch assembly relies on the sensor ring (4) and the adjuster ring
(5), which works its way around a ramped clutch cover (2), taking up clearance as the clutch disc
wears and maintaining diaphragm spring force throughout the life of the clutch. The primary
benefits of this design are reduced pedal effort, constant release load over clutch life, and extended
clutch life.

Inspection
INSPECTION
Fluid contamination is a frequent cause of clutch malfunctions. Oil, grease, water, or other fluids on
the clutch contact surfaces will cause faulty operation.
During inspection, note if any components are contaminated. Look for evidence of oil, grease, or
water/road splash on clutch components.
OIL CONTAMINATION
Oil contamination indicates a leak at the rear main seal and/or transaxle input shaft. Oil leaks
produce a residue of oil on the transaxle housing interior, clutch cover and flywheel. Heat buildup
caused by slippage can bake the oil residue onto the components. This glaze-like residue ranges in
color from amber to black.
GREASE CONTAMINATION
Grease contamination is usually a product of over-lubrication. During clutch service, apply only a
small amount of grease to the input shaft splines. Excess grease may be thrown off during
operation, contaminating the disc.
ROAD SPLASH/WATER CONTAMINATION
Road splash contamination is usually caused by driving the vehicle through deep water puddles.
Water can be forced into the clutch housing, causing clutch components to become contaminated.
Facing of disc will absorb moisture and bond to the flywheel and/or, pressure plate, if vehicle is
allowed to stand for some time before use. If this condition occurs, replacement of clutch assembly
may be required. Drive the vehicle until normal clutch operating temperature has been obtained.
This will dry off disc assembly, pressure plate, and flywheel.

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.

Clutch Master Cylinder: Description and Operation Description - LHD
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The clutch master cylinder/hydraulic release system does not have its own reservoir. This
system is supplied fluid from the brake master cylinder reservoir.
The clutch master cylinder (1) mounts to the clutch pedal and consists of a push rod, a piston and
cylinder housing, an interconnecting hydraulic tube and a supply hose which connects to the brake
master cylinder reservoir (1) for fluid supply.

Clutch Master Cylinder: Description and Operation Operation - LHD
OPERATION
When the clutch pedal is depressed, the push rod moves the piston in the master cylinder (2),
displacing fluid through the hydraulic line and into the release bearing. The release bearing is
forced into the fingers of the clutch diaphragm springs. As the fingers move, they release the
clamping pressure on the clutch disc between the clutch pressure plate and the flywheel. The
clutch becomes disengaged as this pressure is released.
When the clutch pedal is released, the system hydraulic pressure is released. This allows the force
of the clutch diaphragm springs to return to their original position, re-clamping the clutch disc
between the flywheel and the clutch pressure plate. Also, the release bearing and lever are forced
to return, which reverses the movement of the hydraulic system and returns the pedal to its original
position against the up-stop.

Clutch Slave Cylinder: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The clutch slave cylinder (1) consists of a hydraulic piston and cylinder, seal and return spring. It is
fastened to the transaxle bellhousing. The slave cylinder is connected to the clutch master cylinder
hydraulic pipe, which is retained to the cylinder by a pair of retainer clips, and has a bleed port to
facilitate the removal of air from the system.
The clutch release system (1) utilizes a slave cylinder of a concentric design, having all
components fixed about the same axis. The concentric slave cylinder (CSC) is mounted to the
inside of the clutch bellhousing and is serviced only as an assembly.
The concentric design permits high efficiency, resulting in low and consistent pedal effort, as well
as automatic adjustment to compensate for clutch disc wear. The CSC is a self-contained unit,
consisting of a main body (2) and piston (6), spring (5), integrated release bearing (1), and a rubber
boot (4).

DESCRIPTION
The modular clutch assembly (1) is located between the engine and manual transaxle in the
transaxle bellhousing, and is responsible for transmitting engine power to the transaxle. The
modular clutch is an assembly which incorporates a self-adjusting design and consists of the
following components:
- Flywheel
- Clutch Disc
- Pressure Plate
- Diaphragm Spring
- Adjusting Ring
- Sensor
- Cover

Pressure Plate: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The modular clutch assembly is designed to transmit power from the engine to the manual
transaxle. This is accomplished by the friction and clamping force generated when the spring
loaded pressure plate locks the clutch disc to the flywheel. The clutch disc, which is splined to the
transaxle input shaft, transmits power until the center of the diaphragm spring is depressed, and
the clamp force is removed from the disc.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Clutch, M/T > Pressure Plate > Component Information >
Description and Operation > Description > Page 4543
The self-adjusting feature of this clutch assembly relies on the sensor ring (4) and the adjuster ring
(5), which works its way around a ramped clutch cover (2), taking up clearance as the clutch disc
wears and maintaining diaphragm spring force throughout the life of the clutch. The primary
benefits of this design are reduced pedal effort, constant release load over clutch life, and extended
clutch life.

Inspection
INSPECTION
Fluid contamination is a frequent cause of clutch malfunctions. Oil, grease, water, or other fluids on
the clutch contact surfaces will cause faulty operation.
During inspection, note if any components are contaminated. Look for evidence of oil, grease, or
water/road splash on clutch components.
OIL CONTAMINATION
Oil contamination indicates a leak at the rear main seal and/or transaxle input shaft. Oil leaks
produce a residue of oil on the transaxle housing interior, clutch cover and flywheel. Heat buildup
caused by slippage can bake the oil residue onto the components. This glaze-like residue ranges in
color from amber to black.
GREASE CONTAMINATION
Grease contamination is usually a product of over-lubrication. During clutch service, apply only a
small amount of grease to the input shaft splines. Excess grease may be thrown off during
operation, contaminating the disc.
ROAD SPLASH/WATER CONTAMINATION
Road splash contamination is usually caused by driving the vehicle through deep water puddles.
Water can be forced into the clutch housing, causing clutch components to become contaminated.
Facing of disc will absorb moisture and bond to the flywheel and/or, pressure plate, if vehicle is
allowed to stand for some time before use. If this condition occurs, replacement of clutch assembly
may be required. Drive the vehicle until normal clutch operating temperature has been obtained.
This will dry off disc assembly, pressure plate, and flywheel.

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.

DATE: October 5, 2006
THIS BULLETIN SUPERSEDES TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 21-013-06, DATED MAY 5,
2006, WHICH SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM YOUR FILES. ALL REVISIONS ARE
HIGHLIGHTED WITH **ASTERISKS** AND INCLUDES AN ADDITIONAL MODEL WITH A
DESCRIPTION ON LABOR TIMES THAT SHOULD BE USED WHEN REPAIRS ARE MADE.
SUBJECT: Continuously Variable Transmission (CVI) Automatic Shifter Diagnostics
MODELS:
2007 (PM) Caliber
**2007 (MK-49174) Compass/Patriot**
**2007 (JS) Sebring Sedan/Stratus Sedan**
NOTE:
This bulletin applies to vehicles equipped with an Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) (sales
code DAV).
DISCUSSION:
The Automatic Transmission Shifter for 2007 PM, MK and JS vehicles equipped with a CVI
transmission includes several new features:
i. The Shifter's serpentine pattern does not require the shifter to have a button on the knob to
release it from "Park". There is a blocking lever within the Shifter that prevents undesired shifting
out of "Park".
ii. The shifter has a solenoid which is actuated by depressing the brake pedal. This prevents
shifting out of "Park" without the brake pedal being depressed. To operate the solenoid, the ignition
must be in the "On" or "Run" position and the brake pedal must be depressed. The Brake Switch
sends a signal to the Cabin Compartment Node (CCN) and the CCN, in turn, energizes the
solenoid that moves the Park Lock Lever to allow the driver to shift out of "Park". On the right side
of the Console Pod is a plug that allows access to the Park Lock Lever for manual operation.
iii. The Interlock Cable is attached to a lever within the Shifter that prevents the Shift Lever from
moving out of "Park" without the key (theft prevention). The Interlock Cable adjustment is preset at
the factory. When properly adjusted, the Interlock System prevents the key being removed from the
Key Cylinder when the Shift Lever is in a position other then "Park".

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 Suspension
DESCRIPTION
The wheel bearing (5) and hub (3) are pressed into the knuckle (1). The wheel bearing is secured
in place using a snap ring.
One side of the wheel bearing has an integrated magnetic encoder ring for wheel speed sensor
usage as equipped. It is important that the wheel speed sensor magnetic encoder ring (dark band)
(3) be positioned to the inside of the knuckle or the wheel speed sensor will not operate correctly.
The wheel bearing is a Unit 1 type cartridge bearing that requires no maintenance. The wheel
bearing can be serviced separately from the hub.
The hub supports the driveline halfshaft outer constant velocity (C/V) joint. Each is splined and
meshes in the center of the hub. The outer C/V joint is retained to the hub using a nut. The nut is
locked to the outer C/V stub shaft using a cotter pin.
The hub has five studs pressed into its flange.

Wheel Bearing: Description and Operation Rear Suspension
DESCRIPTION
The rear wheel bearing and wheel mounting hub used on this vehicle are a one-piece sealed unit
or hub and bearing assembly. It is permanently lubricated when assembled and is sealed for life.
There is no periodic lubrication or maintenance recommended for these units.
The hub and bearing (5) is mounted to the trailing link (1).
All vehicles have a magnetic encoder integrated into the right rear hub and bearing for speed
sense. Vehicles equipped with antilock brakes have a magnetic encoder integrated into both rear
hub and bearings. The encoder works with the rear wheel speed sensors to provide wheel speed
signal. The sensor mounts by screw to the rear of the front-wheel-drive hub and bearing while the
sensor clips to the rear of the all-wheel-drive hub and bearing.
The only serviceable components of the hub and bearing are the wheel mounting studs pressed
into the hub.

WHEEL BEARING AND HUB
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 wheel bearing and hub.
1. Remove the wheel and tire assembly, disc brake caliper and brake rotor. 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 bearing
replacement. Moderate grease weeping from the bearing is considered normal and should not
require replacement of the wheel bearing.
To diagnose a bent hub, measure hub runout. Refer to Brakes and Traction Control/Testing and
inspection.

Flywheel: Description and Operation
OPERATION
The flywheel serves to dampen the engine firing pulses. The heavy weight of the flywheel relative
to the rotating mass of the engine components serves to stabilize the flow of power to the
remainder of the drivetrain. The crankshaft has the tendency to attempt to speed up and slow down
in response to the cylinder firing pulses. The flywheel dampens these impulses by absorbing
energy when the crankshaft speeds and releasing the energy back into the system when the
crankshaft slows down.
On a Dual Mass Flywheel, the additional secondary mass coupled to the transmission lowers the
natural frequency of the transmission rotating elements. This decreases the transmission gear
rattle. The damper springs between the two flywheel masses replace the clutch disc damper
springs and assist in a smooth transfer of torque to the transmission.
CAUTION: The Dual Mass Flywheel is serviced as an assembly only and should never be
disassembled.

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.

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.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation 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 or Electronic Stability Program (ESP) 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.
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 on the inboard side of the right body frame rail behind the strut
tower.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The primary functions of the Antilock Brake Module (ABM) are to:
- Monitor the Antilock Brake System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Program (ESP) 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 ABS or traction control mode.
- Modulates fluid pressure to the wheel brakes to control vehicle yaw rate in ESP mode.
- Store diagnostic information.
- Provide communication to the scan tool while in diagnostic mode.
- Illuminate the amber ABS indicator in the instrument cluster.
- Illuminate the yellow ESP/BAS indicator in the instrument cluster (if equipped).
The ABM constantly monitors the ABS and ESP (if equipped) for proper operation. If the ABM
detects a fault, it will turn on the amber ABS and yellow ESP/BAS indicators and disable the ABS
or ESP if so equipped. The normal base braking system will remain operational at that time.
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 solenoid 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.

Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Description and Operation Hydraulic Control Unit
(HCU)
DESCRIPTION
The Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) is mounted to the Antilock Brake Module (ABM) as part of the
Integrated Control Unit (ICU). The HCU controls the flow of brake fluid to the brakes using a series
of valves and accumulators. A pump/motor is mounted on the HCU to supply build pressure to the
brakes during an ABS stop.
VALVES AND SOLENOIDS
The valve block contains four inlet valves and four outlet solenoid valves. The inlet valves are
spring-loaded in the open position and the outlet valves are spring-loaded in the closed position
during normal braking. The fluid is allowed to flow from the master cylinder to the wheel brakes.
During an ABS stop, these valves cycle to maintain the proper slip ratio for each wheel. The inlet
valve closes preventing further pressure increase and the outlet valve opens to provide a path from
the wheel brake to the HCU accumulators and pump/motor. This releases (decays) pressure from
the wheel brake, thus releasing the wheel from excessive slippage. Once the wheel is no longer
slipping, the outlet valve is closed and the inlet valve is opened to reapply (build) pressure.
If the ABS includes the traction control feature, there are four other valves in the HCU. Two
Traction Control (TC) valves, mounted in the HCU valve block, are normally in the open position
and close only when the traction control is applied. There are also two shuttle valves which control
pressure return to the master cylinder under ABS and traction control conditions.
These TC valves are used to isolate the rear (non-driving) wheels of the vehicle from the hydraulic
pressure that the HCU pump/motor is sending to the front (driving) wheels when traction control is
being applied. The rear brakes need to be isolated from the master cylinder when traction control is
being applied so the rear wheels do not drag.
BRAKE FLUID ACCUMULATORS
There are two fluid accumulators in the HCU: one for the primary hydraulic circuit, and one for the
secondary hydraulic circuit. Each hydraulic circuit uses a 3 cc accumulator.
The fluid accumulators temporarily store brake fluid that is removed from the wheel brakes during
an ABS cycle. This stored fluid is used by the pump/motor to provide build pressure for the brake
hydraulic system. When the antilock stop is complete, the accumulators are drained by the
pump/motor.
There are two noise dampening chambers in the HCU on this vehicle equipped with traction
control.
PUMP/MOTOR
There are two pump assemblies in the HCU: one for the primary hydraulic circuit, and one for the
secondary hydraulic circuit. Both pumps are driven by a common electric motor. This DC-type
motor is integral to the HCU and is controlled by the ABM.
The pump/motor provides the extra amount of brake fluid needed during antilock braking. Brake
fluid is released to the accumulators when the outlet valve is opened during an antilock stop. The
pump mechanism consists of two opposing pistons operated by an eccentric camshaft. In
operation, these pistons are used to purge fluid from the accumulators back into the master
cylinder circuits. When the antilock stop is complete, the pump/motor drains the accumulators.
The pump motor is also used to build pressure when the system goes into Electronic Stability
Program (ESP(R)) and traction control mode.
The ABM may turn on the pump/motor when an antilock stop is detected. The pump/motor
continues to run during the antilock stop and is turned off after the stop is complete. Under some
conditions, the pump/motor runs to drain the accumulators during the next drive-off.
The pump/motor is not a serviceable item; if it requires replacement, the HCU must be replaced.

Traction Control Switch: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The ESP Off Switch is part of the accessory switch bank module located in the center bezel on the
instrument panel above the transmission gear shifter. 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.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The antilock brake system uses two-wire wheel speed sensors, known as active wheel speed
sensors. The sensors use an electronic principle known as magnetoresistive 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 (3) is attached to a mounting boss on each front knuckle (4). The
encoder is an integral part of the hub and bearing.
WSS air gaps are not adjustable.
Operation
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.

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Base Brake Bleeding
BASE BRAKE BLEEDING
NOTE: For bleeding the ABS hydraulic system, refer to Antilock Brake System Bleeding in the
Antilock Brake System.
CAUTION: Before removing the master cylinder cap, wipe it clean to prevent dirt and other foreign
matter from dropping into the master cylinder reservoir.
CAUTION: Use only Mopar(R) brake fluid or an equivalent from a fresh, tightly sealed container.
Brake fluid must conform to DOT 3 specifications.
NOTE: For bleeding of the Antilock Brake System, Refer to BRAKES - ABS STANDARD
PROCEDURE.
Do not pump the brake pedal at any time while having a bleeder screw open during the bleeding
process. This will only increase the amount of air in the system and make additional bleeding
necessary.
Do not allow the master cylinder reservoir to run out of brake fluid while bleeding the system. An
empty reservoir will allow additional air into the brake system. Check the fluid level frequently and
add fluid as needed.
The following wheel circuit sequence for bleeding the brake hydraulic system should be used to
ensure adequate removal of all trapped air from the hydraulic system.
- Left rear wheel
- Right front wheel
- Right rear wheel
- Left front wheel
MANUAL BLEEDING
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).
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Brake Bleeding > System Information > Service and Repair >
Master Cylinder Bleeding > Page 5043
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 (2) to make sure it does not go dry.
7. Check and adjust brake fluid level to the FULL mark. 8. Check the brake pedal travel. If pedal
travel is excessive or has not been improved, some air may still be trapped in the system. Re-bleed
the
brakes as necessary.
9. Test drive the vehicle to verify the brakes are operating properly and pedal feel is correct.
PRESSURE BLEEDING
NOTE: Follow pressure bleeder manufacturer's instructions for use of pressure bleeding
equipment.
1. Attach Master Cylinder Cap (2), Special Tool 6921, in place of the filler cap on the master
cylinder reservoir (3). 2. Attach Bleeder Tank (1), Special Tool C-3496-B, or an equivalent, to the
Master Cylinder Cap 6921.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Brake Bleeding > System Information > Service and Repair >

3. 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.
4. Open the bleeder screw at least one full turn or more to obtain a steady stream of brake fluid. 5.
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.
6. Repeat this procedure at all the remaining bleeder screws.
7. Check and adjust brake fluid level to the FULL mark on the reservoir (2). 8. Check the brake
pedal travel. If pedal travel is excessive or has not been improved, some air may still be trapped in
the system. Re-bleed the
brakes as necessary.
9. Test drive the vehicle to verify the brakes are operating properly and pedal feel is correct.

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. 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.

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.
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.

On front rotors, Minimum thickness specifications (2) are cast on the rotor's unmachined surface on
the inside of the rotor (1). Limits can also be found in this component's specification table.
On rear rotors, Minimum thickness specifications (3) are cast into the rotor's unmachined surface
on the outside of the rotor (1). This area also shows the maximum thickness specifications (2) for
the hat section of the rotor. Limits can also be found in this component's specification table.

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.
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. 2. Remove the tire and wheel assembly. 3. Install standard wheel
mounting nuts, flat side to rotor, on all the wheel studs (2). Progressively tighten the nuts in a
crisscross pattern to 135 Nm
(100 ft. lbs.).
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 mm (0.39 in.) from the outer edge of the rotor
(3).

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Specifications > Page 5094
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.
8. 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.
9. Remove the rotor from the hub.
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.
10. 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.
11. Slowly rotate the hub measuring runout. Hub runout should not exceed 0.08 mm (0.003 inch). If
runout exceeds this specification, the hub must be
replaced.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Specifications > Page 5095
12. 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).
13. Install standard wheel mounting nuts, flat side to rotor, on all the wheel studs (2). Progressively
tighten the nuts in a crisscross pattern to 135 Nm
(100 ft. lbs.).
14. 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.
15. If runout is still not within specifications, reface or replace brake rotor.

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 (1) have markings for minimum allowable thickness cast on an unmachined
surface of the rotor (2) or stamped into the hat section. On this vehicle, the minimum thickness
specification for the front brake rotor is located on the inside of the rotor. The minimum thickness
specification for the rear brake rotor is located on the outside of the rotor. Minimum thickness
specifications can also be found in this component's specification table.
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.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Service and Repair > Procedures > Page 5098
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.

BRAKE DRUM MACHINING
If a brake drum is deeply scored or warped, it can be machined on a brake lathe equipped to
machine brake drums. Follow the manufacturers instructions on the machining procedure.
Measure the brake drum diameter before machining. If machining the drum will cause the drum to
exceed maximum allowable diameter, do not machine the brake drum. It needs to be replaced.
CAUTION: Do not machine the brake drum if it will cause the drum to exceed maximum allowable
diameter.
All brake drums (2) are marked with the maximum allowable brake drum diameter. All vehicles
have it marked on the inside of the drum (1).
When machining, make sure the feed rate for the final cut is set to deliver a fine finish. A fine finish
helps to avoid a screw effect on the brake shoes when the brakes are applied. This final feed cut
specification varies from lathe manufacturer to lathe manufacturer.

Cleaning
CLEANING
WARNING: Dust and dirt accumulating on brake parts during normal use may contain asbestos
fibers from production or aftermarket brake linings. Breathing excessive concentrations of asbestos
fibers can cause serious bodily harm. Exercise care when servicing brake parts. Do not sand or
grind brake lining unless equipment used is designed to contain the dust residue. Do not clean
brake parts with compressed air or by dry brushing. Cleaning should be done by dampening the
brake components with a fine mist of water, then wiping the brake components clean with a
dampened cloth. Dispose of cloth and all residue containing asbestos fibers in an impermeable
container with the appropriate label. Follow practices prescribed by the Occupational Safety And
Health Administration (OSHA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the handling,
processing, and disposing of dust or debris that may contain asbestos fibers.
Inspection
INSPECTION
Inspect the shoe linings. Rear brake shoe linings should show contact across the entire width of the
lining and also from the heel to the toe of the lining. Replace the shoes if noted otherwise. Brake
shoes with lack of contact at the toe or heel of the brake shoe lining may be improperly ground.
Clean and inspect the brake support plate and shoe adjuster screw. Apply a thin coat of Mopar(R)
Multi-Purpose Grease or equivalent to the threads of the self-adjuster. Replace the adjuster screw
if it is corroded.
NOTE: Adjuster screws are different side-to-side. Left side adjuster screws have left-hand threads
and right side adjuster screws have right-hand threads.
Inspect the return springs and hold-down spring clips. If the existing brake shoe return springs or
hold-down spring clips have been overheated or damaged, replace them. Overheating indications
are paint discoloration or distorted end coils.

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Base Brake Bleeding
BASE BRAKE BLEEDING
NOTE: For bleeding the ABS hydraulic system, refer to Antilock Brake System Bleeding in the
Antilock Brake System.
CAUTION: Before removing the master cylinder cap, wipe it clean to prevent dirt and other foreign
matter from dropping into the master cylinder reservoir.
CAUTION: Use only Mopar(R) brake fluid or an equivalent from a fresh, tightly sealed container.
Brake fluid must conform to DOT 3 specifications.
NOTE: For bleeding of the Antilock Brake System, Refer to BRAKES - ABS STANDARD
PROCEDURE.
Do not pump the brake pedal at any time while having a bleeder screw open during the bleeding
process. This will only increase the amount of air in the system and make additional bleeding
necessary.
Do not allow the master cylinder reservoir to run out of brake fluid while bleeding the system. An
empty reservoir will allow additional air into the brake system. Check the fluid level frequently and
add fluid as needed.
The following wheel circuit sequence for bleeding the brake hydraulic system should be used to
ensure adequate removal of all trapped air from the hydraulic system.
- Left rear wheel
- Right front wheel
- Right rear wheel
- Left front wheel
MANUAL BLEEDING
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 (2) to make sure it does not go dry.
7. Check and adjust brake fluid level to the FULL mark. 8. Check the brake pedal travel. If pedal
travel is excessive or has not been improved, some air may still be trapped in the system. Re-bleed
the
brakes as necessary.
9. Test drive the vehicle to verify the brakes are operating properly and pedal feel is correct.
PRESSURE BLEEDING
NOTE: Follow pressure bleeder manufacturer's instructions for use of pressure bleeding
equipment.
1. Attach Master Cylinder Cap (2), Special Tool 6921, in place of the filler cap on the master
cylinder reservoir (3). 2. Attach Bleeder Tank (1), Special Tool C-3496-B, or an equivalent, to the
Master Cylinder Cap 6921.

containing enough fresh brake fluid to submerge the end of
the hose.
4. Open the bleeder screw at least one full turn or more to obtain a steady stream of brake fluid. 5.
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.
6. Repeat this procedure at all the remaining bleeder screws.
7. Check and adjust brake fluid level to the FULL mark on the reservoir (2). 8. Check the brake
pedal travel. If pedal travel is excessive or has not been improved, some air may still be trapped in
the system. Re-bleed the
brakes as necessary.
9. Test drive the vehicle to verify the brakes are operating properly and pedal feel is correct.

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. 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.

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: Specifications
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 DOT 3 Motor Vehicle 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 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 (2) 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.
NOTE: Although there is a range, the preferred level is FULL.
1. Remove the cap (1). 2. Adjust the brake fluid level to the FULL mark listed on the side of the
master cylinder fluid reservoir (2) as necessary. Do not overfill the system. 3. Install the cap (1).

Brake Hose/Line: Testing and Inspection
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 Proportioning/Combination Valve: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: Only vehicles without antilock brakes have proportioning valves. Vehicles with antilock
brakes have Electronic Variable Brake Proportioning (EVBP) that is built into the Integrated Control
Unit (ICU).
On the non-antilock master cylinder (1), two screw-in proportioning valves (2, 3) are screwed
directly into the rear brake outlet ports. The chassis brake tubes leading to the rear brakes attach to
the outlets of the proportioning valves. One proportioning valve controls each rear brake.
The proportioning valves are not identical and cannot be interchanged. The proportioning valve that
threads into the primary port (3) has M10 x 1 threads going into the master cylinder (1). The
proportioning valve that threads into the secondary port (2) has M12 x 1 threads going into the
master cylinder (1).

Brake Proportioning/Combination Valve: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Proportioning valves balance front to rear braking by controlling the brake fluid hydraulic pressure
to the rear brakes above a preset level (split point). Under light pedal application, the proportioning
valve allows normal fluid flow to the rear brakes. Under higher pedal effort, the valve reduces fluid
pressure to the rear brakes. This helps prevent rear wheel skid tendencies.

Brake Proportioning/Combination Valve: Service and Repair Removal
REMOVAL
NOTE: Refer to Warnings and Cautions.
1. Using a brake pedal holder, depress the brake pedal past its first one inch (25 mm) of travel and
hold it in this position. This will isolate the
master cylinder from the brake hydraulic system and will not allow the brake fluid to drain out of the
master cylinder reservoir.
NOTE: To access the lower (left rear) proportioning valve, it may help to remove the air cleaner
cover and hose to the throttle body.
2. Disconnect the brake tube (1 or 2) from the proportioning valve requiring removal.

Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Description and Operation Hydraulic Control Unit
(HCU)
DESCRIPTION
The Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) is mounted to the Antilock Brake Module (ABM) as part of the
Integrated Control Unit (ICU). The HCU controls the flow of brake fluid to the brakes using a series
of valves and accumulators. A pump/motor is mounted on the HCU to supply build pressure to the
brakes during an ABS stop.
VALVES AND SOLENOIDS
The valve block contains four inlet valves and four outlet solenoid valves. The inlet valves are
spring-loaded in the open position and the outlet valves are spring-loaded in the closed position
during normal braking. The fluid is allowed to flow from the master cylinder to the wheel brakes.
During an ABS stop, these valves cycle to maintain the proper slip ratio for each wheel. The inlet
valve closes preventing further pressure increase and the outlet valve opens to provide a path from
the wheel brake to the HCU accumulators and pump/motor. This releases (decays) pressure from
the wheel brake, thus releasing the wheel from excessive slippage. Once the wheel is no longer
slipping, the outlet valve is closed and the inlet valve is opened to reapply (build) pressure.
If the ABS includes the traction control feature, there are four other valves in the HCU. Two
Traction Control (TC) valves, mounted in the HCU valve block, are normally in the open position
and close only when the traction control is applied. There are also two shuttle valves which control
pressure return to the master cylinder under ABS and traction control conditions.
These TC valves are used to isolate the rear (non-driving) wheels of the vehicle from the hydraulic
pressure that the HCU pump/motor is sending to the front (driving) wheels when traction control is
being applied. The rear brakes need to be isolated from the master cylinder when traction control is
being applied so the rear wheels do not drag.
BRAKE FLUID ACCUMULATORS
There are two fluid accumulators in the HCU: one for the primary hydraulic circuit, and one for the
secondary hydraulic circuit. Each hydraulic circuit uses a 3 cc accumulator.
The fluid accumulators temporarily store brake fluid that is removed from the wheel brakes during
an ABS cycle. This stored fluid is used by the pump/motor to provide build pressure for the brake
hydraulic system. When the antilock stop is complete, the accumulators are drained by the
pump/motor.
There are two noise dampening chambers in the HCU on this vehicle equipped with traction
control.
PUMP/MOTOR
There are two pump assemblies in the HCU: one for the primary hydraulic circuit, and one for the
secondary hydraulic circuit. Both pumps are driven by a common electric motor. This DC-type
motor is integral to the HCU and is controlled by the ABM.
The pump/motor provides the extra amount of brake fluid needed during antilock braking. Brake
fluid is released to the accumulators when the outlet valve is opened during an antilock stop. The
pump mechanism consists of two opposing pistons operated by an eccentric camshaft. In
operation, these pistons are used to purge fluid from the accumulators back into the master
cylinder circuits. When the antilock stop is complete, the pump/motor drains the accumulators.
The pump motor is also used to build pressure when the system goes into Electronic Stability
Program (ESP(R)) and traction control mode.
The ABM may turn on the pump/motor when an antilock stop is detected. The pump/motor
continues to run during the antilock stop and is turned off after the stop is complete. Under some
conditions, the pump/motor runs to drain the accumulators during the next drive-off.
The pump/motor is not a serviceable item; if it requires replacement, the HCU must be replaced.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) (2) and the Antilock Brake Module (ABM) (1) used with this
antilock brake system are combined (integrated) into one unit, which is called the Integrated
Control Unit (ICU).
The ICU (1) is located in the engine compartment, mounted to the right side body frame rail near
the strut tower.
Two different ICU's are used on this vehicle depending on whether or not the vehicle is equipped
with traction control and Electronic Stability Program (ESP(R)). The HCU on a vehicle equipped
with traction control or ESP(R) has a valve block that is approximately one inch longer than a HCU
on a vehicle that is equipped with ABS only.
The ABS-only ICU consists of the following components: the ABM, eight (build/decay) solenoid
valves (four inlet valves and four outlet valves), valve

Brake Master Cylinder: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The master cylinder used on this vehicle is a Plunger II design supplied by Continental Teves. The
bore diameter for all applications is 20.6 mm (0.812 in.).
The non-ABS master cylinder (3) is a four-outlet design (one for each wheel brake). There are two
ports at each piston. One feeds a front wheel brake while the other feeds the opposite side rear
wheel brake. The rear wheel brake ports are drilled and threaded to accept screw-in proportioning
valves. Both valves are threaded into the bottom of the master cylinder housing.
All ABS master cylinders (3) 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 Operation
OPERATION
When the brake pedal is pressed, the master cylinder primary and secondary pistons apply brake
pressure through the proportioning valves (on non-ABS vehicles) and chassis brake tubes to each
brake assembly. The brake fluid reservoir supplies the brake hydraulic system with the necessary
fluid to operate properly.
The non-ABS master cylinder's primary outlet ports supply hydraulic pressure to the right front and
left rear brakes while the secondary outlet ports supply hydraulic pressure to the left front and right
rear brakes. ABS equipped master cylinder outlet ports supply hydraulic pressure to the ABS
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.

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 254 mm single diaphragm power brake booster. 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 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 or Electronic Stability Program (ESP) 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.
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 on the inboard side of the right body frame rail behind the strut
tower.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The primary functions of the Antilock Brake Module (ABM) are to:
- Monitor the Antilock Brake System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Program (ESP) 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 ABS or traction control mode.
- Modulates fluid pressure to the wheel brakes to control vehicle yaw rate in ESP mode.
- Store diagnostic information.
- Provide communication to the scan tool while in diagnostic mode.
- Illuminate the amber ABS indicator in the instrument cluster.
- Illuminate the yellow ESP/BAS indicator in the instrument cluster (if equipped).
The ABM constantly monitors the ABS and ESP (if equipped) for proper operation. If the ABM
detects a fault, it will turn on the amber ABS and yellow ESP/BAS indicators and disable the ABS
or ESP if so equipped. The normal base braking system will remain operational at that time.
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 solenoid 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.

Traction Control Switch: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The ESP Off Switch is part of the accessory switch bank module located in the center bezel on the
instrument panel above the transmission gear shifter. 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.

Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation Front Wheel Speed
Description
DESCRIPTION
The antilock brake system uses two-wire wheel speed sensors, known as active wheel speed
sensors. The sensors use an electronic principle known as magnetoresistive 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 (3) is attached to a mounting boss on each front knuckle (4). The
encoder is an integral part of the hub and bearing.
WSS air gaps are not adjustable.
Operation
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.

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.
Both the battery positive and negative cables are available for service replacement only as a unit
with the battery wire harness, which may include portions of the wiring circuits for the generator
and other components on some vehicles.

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.
- 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 Fuse Block located in the left front bumper fascia. See the fuse and relay
layout label affixed to the underside of the Fuse 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.
2. Connect the positive lead of the voltmeter (1) to the battery (2) positive terminal post. Connect
the negative lead of the voltmeter (1) to the battery
(2) positive 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 positive cable
terminal clamp and the battery positive terminal post.

3. Connect the voltmeter (2) to measure between the battery positive cable terminal clamp (1) and
the starter solenoid B(+) terminal stud (3). Rotate
and hold the ignition switch in the Start position. Observe the voltmeter. If the reading is above 0.2
volt, clean and tighten the battery positive cable eyelet terminal connection at the starter solenoid
B(+) terminal stud. Repeat the test. If the reading is still above 0.2 volt, replace the faulty battery
positive cable.
4. Connect the voltmeter (1) to measure between the battery (2) negative cable terminal clamp and
a good clean ground on the engine block (3).
Rotate and hold the ignition switch in the Start position. Observe the voltmeter. If the reading is
above 0.2 volt, clean and tighten the battery negative cable eyelet terminal connection to the
engine block. Repeat the test. If the reading is still above 0.2 volt, replace the faulty battery
negative cable.

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

IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as follows:
- In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the instrument panel area are C200 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.
- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.
- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.
- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
In addition, S001-S099 numbers are located in the engine compartment.
- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.
LOCATIONS
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
DESCRIPTION - SECTION IDENTIFICATION AND INFORMATION
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual sections. If a component is most likely found in a
particular group, it will be shown complete (all wires, connectors, and pins) within that group. For
example, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be found in Powertrain Management, so it is
shown there complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some
associated wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Splice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.
Connector Pin-Outs 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
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Charging System > Alternator > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5543
- 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.

Alternator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
As the energized rotor begins to rotate within the generator, the spinning magnetic field induces a
current into the windings of the stator coil.
The Y type stator winding connections deliver the induced AC current to 3 positive and 3 negative
diodes for rectification. From the diodes, rectified DC current is delivered to the vehicles electrical
system through the generator, battery, and ground terminals.
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

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
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
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5683
- 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.

Auxiliary Power Outlet: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
INSTRUMENT PANEL MOUNTED
An instrument panel mounted cigar lighter/power outlet receptacle is optional equipment on this
model. On models equipped with the optional Smoker's Package, the cigar lighter knob and
heating element are included. On models without the Smoker's Package, the cigar lighter
receptacle is equipped with a snap fit plastic cap and is treated as an auxiliary power outlet. The
cigar lighter receptacle is installed in the instrument panel accessory switch bezel, which is located
near the bottom of the instrument panel center stack area, below the radio. The cigar lighter base is
secured by a snap fit within the center lower bezel. This power outlet has a constant 12 volt battery
feed.
The cigar lighter receptacle is serviced with the accessory switch bezel and if defective, the entire
switch bezel must be replaced. The plastic cap and the knob and heating element unit are available
for service replacement. These components cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, they
must be replaced.
FRONT CONSOLE AND REAR CARGO MOUNTED
A front console mounted power outlet is standard equipment and a rear cargo area power outlet is
optional equipment on this model. The front console mounted power outlet is mounted near the
front of the console just in front of the cup holders. This outlet can be used as a cigar lighter or
power outlet, but only has 12 volt battery voltage when the ignition is in the ON or ACC positions.
The rear power outlet is installed in the right rear quarter trim panel, near the spare tire jack (2).
The power outlet base and mount are secured by a snap fit within the quarter trim panel. A plastic
protective cap snaps into the power outlet base when the power outlet is not being used, and
hangs from the power outlet base mount by an integral bail strap while the power outlet is in use.
While the power outlet is very similar to a cigar lighter base unit, it does not include the two small
spring-clip retainers inside the bottom of the receptacle shell that are used to secure the cigar
lighter heating element to the insulated contact. It has 12 volt battery voltage when the ignition is in
the ON or ACC positions.

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

DISCUSSION:
The Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse is used to prevent battery discharge during shipping and long term
storage of the vehicles. The IOD fuse is located in the Total Integrated Power Module (TI PM). If
the fuse is not completely inserted partial contact of the fuse terminals could occur. When the
vehicle is prepped for customer delivery, ensure that the fuse is fully engaged (Fig. 1). The IOD
fuse must also be fully released to prevent battery drain from occurring when the vehicle is stored.
When the IOD fuse holder is depressed into the carrier, an initial distinct detent will be felt to
overcome the "pre-hold position". You must then continue to push straight down on the IOD
pre-holder until no further downward movement is encountered.
NOTE:
If the fuse is not pushed down symmetrically, two detents MAY be felt as each side snaps past the
pre-hold position. Push down until no further downward movement is encountered.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
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
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
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.

SUBJECT: No Engine Crank Or No Engine Start Due To Electronic Lockup Of The WCM /
SKREEM
OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves the replacement of the Wireless Control Module (WCM), and if
equipped, the replacement of the Electric Steering Column Lock (ELV). The WCM is also referred
to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM).
MODELS:
2007 - 2008 (DR/DH/D1/DC/DM) Ram Truck (1500/2500/3500/4500/5500)
2007 - 2008 (JK) Wrangler
2007 - 2008 (J1) Sebring (China)
2007 - 2008 (JS) Avenger/Sebring
2007 - 2008 (KA) Nitro
2008 (KK) Liberty/Cherokee
2007 - 2008 (MK) Compass/Patriot
2007 - 2008 (PM) Caliber
2006 - 2008 (PT) Chrysler PT Cruiser
NOTE:
This bulletin applies to vehicles built on or before May 05, 2008 (MDH 0505XX).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION: The customer will experience a no engine crank AND a no engine start
condition. Also, the remote keyless entry (RKE) system will not operate. This condition may be due
to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) from the ignition key into the Wireless Control Module (WCM),
causing the WCM to electronically lockup. This condition may occur more frequently in dry and/or
cold weather conditions where a sufficient electrostatic charge is more easily produced. This
condition is corrected by the replacement of the WCM.
DIAGNOSIS:
1. With the condition present (i.e. the vehicle in the no crank / no start condition), connect the
StarSCAN(R) scan tool to the vehicle.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON position, and power up the StarSCAN(R).
3. If the WCM is electronically locked up, the StarSCAN(R) will display the WCM as being "off bus".
4. If the no crank / no start condition is present, and the WCM is "off bus", then reset the WCM by
temporarily removing the IOD fuse (with the key out of the ignition switch), wait for 10 seconds and
then reinstall the IOD fuse.
5. With the IOD fuse reset having been performed, verify that the vehicle will now crank, start, and
run.
6. If the condition is temporarily corrected by performing the above steps, and if the part number of
the WCM is earlier than the part number of the WCM listed in the part reference table in the
Service Bulletin Parts Required Section below, then perform the Repair Procedure.

PARTS REQUIRED:
NOTE:
The part numbers listed in the following part reference table are to be used as A GUIDE to help
determine if the WCM, that is currently in the vehicle, may require replacement. If it is determined
that the WCM requires replacement, then ALWAYS REFER TO THE PARTS MANUAL to
determine the correct WCM for the specific vehicle in question. In some earlier model years, the
WCM may rule (supersede) to one of the part numbers listed in the table. ALWAYS REFER TO
THE PARTS MANUAL (not the part reference table) to determine the correct part number ruling
(supercedence / substitution). MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE CORRECT WCM IS ORDERED THE
FIRST TIME FOR THE SPECIFIC VEHICLE IN QUESTION.

REPAIR PROCEDURE:
NOTE:
If the vehicle (a JS model vehicle in certain International markets) is equipped with an Electric
Steering Column Lock (ELV), then the WCM and the ELV must be replaced. Replace the WCM
and then the ELV. Next program the WCM and at least one (1) ignition key BEFORE programming
the ELV. IMPORTANT: Not following this repair process correctly will cause the new ELV to fail.
NOTE:
Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder. This will move the shaft lock module locking
bolt to the unlocked position. LEAVE the key in the lock cylinder while the shaft lock module is
being removed.
1. If vehicle is equipped with a Steering Shaft Lock Module (JS - Avenger I Stratus - some
International Markets), then the Shaft Lock Module will require replacement. From the Service Info
tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Security Information > Module, Shaft Lock >
Removal and Installation.
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, the ignition
key must have been inserted into the ignition lock cylinder. 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 key in the ignition lock cylinder until shaft lock module removal 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.
2. Replace the WCM/SKREEM. Refer to TechCONNECT for detailed service information. From the
Service Info tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Service Information > Module,
Sentry Key Remote Entry > Removal and Installation.

SUBJECT: No Engine Crank Or No Engine Start Due To Electronic Lockup Of The WCM /
SKREEM
OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves the replacement of the Wireless Control Module (WCM), and if
equipped, the replacement of the Electric Steering Column Lock (ELV). The WCM is also referred
to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM).
MODELS:
2007 - 2008 (DR/DH/D1/DC/DM) Ram Truck (1500/2500/3500/4500/5500)
2007 - 2008 (JK) Wrangler
2007 - 2008 (J1) Sebring (China)
2007 - 2008 (JS) Avenger/Sebring
2007 - 2008 (KA) Nitro
2008 (KK) Liberty/Cherokee
2007 - 2008 (MK) Compass/Patriot
2007 - 2008 (PM) Caliber
2006 - 2008 (PT) Chrysler PT Cruiser
NOTE:
This bulletin applies to vehicles built on or before May 05, 2008 (MDH 0505XX).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION: The customer will experience a no engine crank AND a no engine start
condition. Also, the remote keyless entry (RKE) system will not operate. This condition may be due
to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) from the ignition key into the Wireless Control Module (WCM),
causing the WCM to electronically lockup. This condition may occur more frequently in dry and/or
cold weather conditions where a sufficient electrostatic charge is more easily produced. This
condition is corrected by the replacement of the WCM.
DIAGNOSIS:
1. With the condition present (i.e. the vehicle in the no crank / no start condition), connect the
StarSCAN(R) scan tool to the vehicle.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON position, and power up the StarSCAN(R).
3. If the WCM is electronically locked up, the StarSCAN(R) will display the WCM as being "off bus".
4. If the no crank / no start condition is present, and the WCM is "off bus", then reset the WCM by
temporarily removing the IOD fuse (with the key out of the ignition switch), wait for 10 seconds and
then reinstall the IOD fuse.
5. With the IOD fuse reset having been performed, verify that the vehicle will now crank, start, and
run.
6. If the condition is temporarily corrected by performing the above steps, and if the part number of
the WCM is earlier than the part number of the WCM listed in the part reference table in the
Service Bulletin Parts Required Section below, then perform the Repair Procedure.

PARTS REQUIRED:
NOTE:
The part numbers listed in the following part reference table are to be used as A GUIDE to help
determine if the WCM, that is currently in the vehicle, may require replacement. If it is determined
that the WCM requires replacement, then ALWAYS REFER TO THE PARTS MANUAL to
determine the correct WCM for the specific vehicle in question. In some earlier model years, the
WCM may rule (supersede) to one of the part numbers listed in the table. ALWAYS REFER TO
THE PARTS MANUAL (not the part reference table) to determine the correct part number ruling
(supercedence / substitution). MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE CORRECT WCM IS ORDERED THE
FIRST TIME FOR THE SPECIFIC VEHICLE IN QUESTION.

REPAIR PROCEDURE:
NOTE:
If the vehicle (a JS model vehicle in certain International markets) is equipped with an Electric
Steering Column Lock (ELV), then the WCM and the ELV must be replaced. Replace the WCM
and then the ELV. Next program the WCM and at least one (1) ignition key BEFORE programming
the ELV. IMPORTANT: Not following this repair process correctly will cause the new ELV to fail.
NOTE:
Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder. This will move the shaft lock module locking
bolt to the unlocked position. LEAVE the key in the lock cylinder while the shaft lock module is
being removed.
1. If vehicle is equipped with a Steering Shaft Lock Module (JS - Avenger I Stratus - some
International Markets), then the Shaft Lock Module will require replacement. From the Service Info
tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Security Information > Module, Shaft Lock >
Removal and Installation.
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, the ignition
key must have been inserted into the ignition lock cylinder. 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 key in the ignition lock cylinder until shaft lock module removal 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.
2. Replace the WCM/SKREEM. Refer to TechCONNECT for detailed service information. From the
Service Info tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Service Information > Module,
Sentry Key Remote Entry > Removal and Installation.
NOTE:
Obtain the vehicle PIN number prior to programming WCM/SKREEM or ELV.
NOTE:
If during the following steps the PIN number is properly entered but is rejected, then reenter the
PIN number again until it is accepted.
3. After both the WCM/SKREEM and the ELV (if equipped) have been replaced, Program the
WCM/SKREEM as follows:
a. Turn the ignition key to the ON position, (Engine Off)
b. Connect the scan tool (StarSCAN(R)) to the data link connector and turn the ignition to the RUN
position, (engine off).
c. Select "ECU View."
d. Scroll down and select "WCM" in the list of modules.
e. Select "Misc. Functions."
f. Scroll to "WCM Replaced."
g. Press "Start".
h. Press "Next".
i. Select "Show Keyboard".
j. Enter the vehicle PIN number.
k. Select "Next".
l. Verify PIN is correct.
m. Select "Next".
n. Follow on-screen prompts to complete WCM function programing for Tire Pressure Monitoring
(TPM) and so on.
0. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position. Wait 30 seconds.
p. Turn the ignition key to the ON position, (Engine Off)

Power Distribution Module: Description and Operation Totally Integrated Power Module
Description
DESCRIPTION
All of the electrical current distributed throughout this vehicle is directed through the standard
equipment Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) (1). The molded plastic TIPM housing is
located in the left front corner of the engine compartment, just behind the air cleaner housing and
the battery. The TIPM housing has a molded plastic cover. The TIPM cover is easily removed for
service access and has a convenient fuse and relay layout label affixed to the inside surface of the
cover to ensure proper component identification.
The TIPM housing is secured to the left inner fender well an indexing pin and one screw. All of the
TIPM outputs are through the integral engine compartment wire harness.
Operation
OPERATION
All of the current from the generator cable connection goes to the battery through a 10 gauge
fusible link that is secured with a nut to the positive battery terminal at the starter. Internal
connection of all the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) circuits is accomplished by an
intricate network of hard wiring and bus bars. Refer to Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit
diagrams.
The fusible link, fuses and relays are available for service replacement. The TIPM unit cannot be
repaired and is only serviced as a unit with the engine compartment wire harness. If the TIPM is
inoperative or damaged, the engine compartment wire harness assembly must be replaced.

Power Distribution Module: Description and Operation Module-Inverter
Description
DESCRIPTION
The inverter module is located in the instrument panel. The A/C outlet is mounted in the center
console. The inverter module provides A/C power for user accessories. The inverter converts the
12 Volt DC from the battery system to a 110 Volt AC output.
Operation
OPERATION
The AC power outlet receives 12 volts from the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) and
passes it as an enable signal to the inverter module. The inverter module also receives 12 volts via
the TIPM and inverts this to a 110 volt AC output. The enable signal received from the power outlet
enables the inverter to convert the received voltage and pass it to the power outlet to power
external devices.

Power Interrupt Connector/Switch: Description and Operation 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.

Power Interrupt Connector/Switch: Description and Operation 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.
The IOD fuse is disconnected from Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) fuse cavities 7 and 8 in
a preset fuse holder. when the vehicle is shipped from the assembly plant. Dealer personnel must
reconnect the IOD fuse when the vehicle is being prepared for delivery in order to restore full
electrical system operation. Once the vehicle is prepared for delivery, the IOD function of this fuse
becomes transparent and the fuse that has been assigned the IOD designation becomes 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 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. Remove fuse 7/8 from the TIPM.

2006 - 2008 (PT) Chrysler PT Cruiser
NOTE:
This bulletin applies to vehicles built on or before May 05, 2008 (MDH 0505XX).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION: The customer will experience a no engine crank AND a no engine start
condition. Also, the remote keyless entry (RKE) system will not operate. This condition may be due
to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) from the ignition key into the Wireless Control Module (WCM),
causing the WCM to electronically lockup. This condition may occur more frequently in dry and/or
cold weather conditions where a sufficient electrostatic charge is more easily produced. This
condition is corrected by the replacement of the WCM.
DIAGNOSIS:
1. With the condition present (i.e. the vehicle in the no crank / no start condition), connect the
StarSCAN(R) scan tool to the vehicle.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON position, and power up the StarSCAN(R).
3. If the WCM is electronically locked up, the StarSCAN(R) will display the WCM as being "off bus".
4. If the no crank / no start condition is present, and the WCM is "off bus", then reset the WCM by
temporarily removing the IOD fuse (with the key out of the ignition switch), wait for 10 seconds and
then reinstall the IOD fuse.
5. With the IOD fuse reset having been performed, verify that the vehicle will now crank, start, and
run.
6. If the condition is temporarily corrected by performing the above steps, and if the part number of
the WCM is earlier than the part number of the WCM listed in the part reference table in the
Service Bulletin Parts Required Section below, then perform the Repair Procedure.

REPAIR PROCEDURE:
NOTE:
If the vehicle (a JS model vehicle in certain International markets) is equipped with an Electric
Steering Column Lock (ELV), then the WCM and the ELV must be replaced. Replace the WCM
and then the ELV. Next program the WCM and at least one (1) ignition key BEFORE programming
the ELV. IMPORTANT: Not following this repair process correctly will cause the new ELV to fail.
NOTE:
Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder. This will move the shaft lock module locking
bolt to the unlocked position. LEAVE the key in the lock cylinder while the shaft lock module is
being removed.
1. If vehicle is equipped with a Steering Shaft Lock Module (JS - Avenger I Stratus - some
International Markets), then the Shaft Lock Module will require replacement. From the Service Info
tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Security Information > Module, Shaft Lock >
Removal and Installation.
NOTE:

SUBJECT: No Engine Crank Or No Engine Start Due To Electronic Lockup Of The WCM /
SKREEM
OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves the replacement of the Wireless Control Module (WCM), and if
equipped, the replacement of the Electric Steering Column Lock (ELV). The WCM is also referred
to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM).
MODELS:
2007 - 2008 (DR/DH/D1/DC/DM) Ram Truck (1500/2500/3500/4500/5500)
2007 - 2008 (JK) Wrangler

2007 - 2008 (JS) Avenger/Sebring
2007 - 2008 (KA) Nitro
2008 (KK) Liberty/Cherokee
2007 - 2008 (MK) Compass/Patriot
2007 - 2008 (PM) Caliber
2006 - 2008 (PT) Chrysler PT Cruiser
NOTE:
This bulletin applies to vehicles built on or before May 05, 2008 (MDH 0505XX).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION: The customer will experience a no engine crank AND a no engine start
condition. Also, the remote keyless entry (RKE) system will not operate. This condition may be due
to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) from the ignition key into the Wireless Control Module (WCM),
causing the WCM to electronically lockup. This condition may occur more frequently in dry and/or
cold weather conditions where a sufficient electrostatic charge is more easily produced. This
condition is corrected by the replacement of the WCM.
DIAGNOSIS:
1. With the condition present (i.e. the vehicle in the no crank / no start condition), connect the
StarSCAN(R) scan tool to the vehicle.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON position, and power up the StarSCAN(R).
3. If the WCM is electronically locked up, the StarSCAN(R) will display the WCM as being "off bus".
4. If the no crank / no start condition is present, and the WCM is "off bus", then reset the WCM by
temporarily removing the IOD fuse (with the key out of the ignition switch), wait for 10 seconds and
then reinstall the IOD fuse.
5. With the IOD fuse reset having been performed, verify that the vehicle will now crank, start, and
run.
6. If the condition is temporarily corrected by performing the above steps, and if the part number of
the WCM is earlier than the part number of the WCM listed in the part reference table in the
Service Bulletin Parts Required Section below, then perform the Repair Procedure.

PARTS REQUIRED:
NOTE:
The part numbers listed in the following part reference table are to be used as A GUIDE to help
determine if the WCM, that is currently in the vehicle, may require replacement. If it is determined
that the WCM requires replacement, then ALWAYS REFER TO THE PARTS MANUAL to
determine the correct WCM for the specific vehicle in question. In some earlier model years, the
WCM may rule (supersede) to one of the part numbers listed in the table. ALWAYS REFER TO
THE PARTS MANUAL (not the part reference table) to determine the correct part number ruling
(supercedence / substitution). MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE CORRECT WCM IS ORDERED THE
FIRST TIME FOR THE SPECIFIC VEHICLE IN QUESTION.

REPAIR PROCEDURE:
NOTE:
If the vehicle (a JS model vehicle in certain International markets) is equipped with an Electric
Steering Column Lock (ELV), then the WCM and the ELV must be replaced. Replace the WCM
and then the ELV. Next program the WCM and at least one (1) ignition key BEFORE programming
the ELV. IMPORTANT: Not following this repair process correctly will cause the new ELV to fail.
NOTE:
Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder. This will move the shaft lock module locking
bolt to the unlocked position. LEAVE the key in the lock cylinder while the shaft lock module is
being removed.
1. If vehicle is equipped with a Steering Shaft Lock Module (JS - Avenger I Stratus - some
International Markets), then the Shaft Lock Module will require replacement. From the Service Info
tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Security Information > Module, Shaft Lock >
Removal and Installation.
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, the ignition
key must have been inserted into the ignition lock cylinder. 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 key in the ignition lock cylinder until shaft lock module removal 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.
2. Replace the WCM/SKREEM. Refer to TechCONNECT for detailed service information. From the
Service Info tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Service Information > Module,
Sentry Key Remote Entry > Removal and Installation.
NOTE:
Obtain the vehicle PIN number prior to programming WCM/SKREEM or ELV.
NOTE:
If during the following steps the PIN number is properly entered but is rejected, then reenter the
PIN number again until it is accepted.
3. After both the WCM/SKREEM and the ELV (if equipped) have been replaced, Program the
WCM/SKREEM as follows:
a. Turn the ignition key to the ON position, (Engine Off)
b. Connect the scan tool (StarSCAN(R)) to the data link connector and turn the ignition to the RUN
position, (engine off).
c. Select "ECU View."
d. Scroll down and select "WCM" in the list of modules.
e. Select "Misc. Functions."
f. Scroll to "WCM Replaced."

Description
DESCRIPTION
All of the electrical current distributed throughout this vehicle is directed through the standard
equipment Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) (1). The molded plastic TIPM housing is
located in the left front corner of the engine compartment, just behind the air cleaner housing and
the battery. The TIPM housing has a molded plastic cover. The TIPM cover is easily removed for
service access and has a convenient fuse and relay layout label affixed to the inside surface of the
cover to ensure proper component identification.
The TIPM housing is secured to the left inner fender well an indexing pin and one screw. All of the
TIPM outputs are through the integral engine compartment wire harness.
Operation
OPERATION
All of the current from the generator cable connection goes to the battery through a 10 gauge
fusible link that is secured with a nut to the positive battery terminal at the starter. Internal
connection of all the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) circuits is accomplished by an
intricate network of hard wiring and bus bars. Refer to Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit
diagrams.
The fusible link, fuses and relays are available for service replacement. The TIPM unit cannot be
repaired and is only serviced as a unit with the engine compartment wire harness. If the TIPM is
inoperative or damaged, the engine compartment wire harness assembly must be replaced.

Power Distribution Module: Description and Operation Module-Inverter
Description
DESCRIPTION
The inverter module is located in the instrument panel. The A/C outlet is mounted in the center
console. The inverter module provides A/C power for user accessories. The inverter converts the
12 Volt DC from the battery system to a 110 Volt AC output.
Operation
OPERATION
The AC power outlet receives 12 volts from the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) and
passes it as an enable signal to the inverter module. The inverter module also receives 12 volts via
the TIPM and inverts this to a 110 volt AC output. The enable signal received from the power outlet
enables the inverter to convert the received voltage and pass it to the power outlet to power
external devices.

Power Interrupt Connector/Switch: Description and Operation 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.

Description > Page 6063
Power Interrupt Connector/Switch: Description and Operation 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.
The IOD fuse is disconnected from Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) fuse cavities 7 and 8 in
a preset fuse holder. when the vehicle is shipped from the assembly plant. Dealer personnel must
reconnect the IOD fuse when the vehicle is being prepared for delivery in order to restore full
electrical system operation. Once the vehicle is prepared for delivery, the IOD function of this fuse
becomes transparent and the fuse that has been assigned the IOD designation becomes 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 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. Remove fuse 7/8 from the TIPM.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
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
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6093
- 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.

Auxiliary Power Outlet: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
INSTRUMENT PANEL MOUNTED
An instrument panel mounted cigar lighter/power outlet receptacle is optional equipment on this
model. On models equipped with the optional Smoker's Package, the cigar lighter knob and
heating element are included. On models without the Smoker's Package, the cigar lighter
receptacle is equipped with a snap fit plastic cap and is treated as an auxiliary power outlet. The
cigar lighter receptacle is installed in the instrument panel accessory switch bezel, which is located
near the bottom of the instrument panel center stack area, below the radio. The cigar lighter base is
secured by a snap fit within the center lower bezel. This power outlet has a constant 12 volt battery
feed.
The cigar lighter receptacle is serviced with the accessory switch bezel and if defective, the entire
switch bezel must be replaced. The plastic cap and the knob and heating element unit are available
for service replacement. These components cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, they
must be replaced.
FRONT CONSOLE AND REAR CARGO MOUNTED
A front console mounted power outlet is standard equipment and a rear cargo area power outlet is
optional equipment on this model. The front console mounted power outlet is mounted near the
front of the console just in front of the cup holders. This outlet can be used as a cigar lighter or
power outlet, but only has 12 volt battery voltage when the ignition is in the ON or ACC positions.
The rear power outlet is installed in the right rear quarter trim panel, near the spare tire jack (2).
The power outlet base and mount are secured by a snap fit within the quarter trim panel. A plastic
protective cap snaps into the power outlet base when the power outlet is not being used, and
hangs from the power outlet base mount by an integral bail strap while the power outlet is in use.
While the power outlet is very similar to a cigar lighter base unit, it does not include the two small
spring-clip retainers inside the bottom of the receptacle shell that are used to secure the cigar
lighter heating element to the insulated contact. It has 12 volt battery voltage when the ignition is in
the ON or ACC positions.

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

DISCUSSION:
The Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse is used to prevent battery discharge during shipping and long term
storage of the vehicles. The IOD fuse is located in the Total Integrated Power Module (TI PM). If
the fuse is not completely inserted partial contact of the fuse terminals could occur. When the
vehicle is prepped for customer delivery, ensure that the fuse is fully engaged (Fig. 1). The IOD
fuse must also be fully released to prevent battery drain from occurring when the vehicle is stored.
When the IOD fuse holder is depressed into the carrier, an initial distinct detent will be felt to
overcome the "pre-hold position". You must then continue to push straight down on the IOD
pre-holder until no further downward movement is encountered.
NOTE:
If the fuse is not pushed down symmetrically, two detents MAY be felt as each side snaps past the
pre-hold position. Push down until no further downward movement is encountered.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
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
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 6151
- 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.

Fuse Block: Diagnostic Aids
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
STANDARD PROCEDURE - 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.

Information and Instructions > Page 6177
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
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
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
STANDARD PROCEDURE - 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
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND ON FUSES POWERING
SEVERAL LOADS
1. Refer to the wiring diagrams and disconnect or isolate all items on the suspected fused circuits.
2. Replace the blown fuse.
3. Supply power to the fuse by turning ON the ignition switch or re-connecting the battery.
4. Start connecting or energizing the items in the fuse circuit one at a time. When the fuse blows
the circuit with the short to ground has been isolated.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 6179
- 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.

2006 - 2008 (PT) Chrysler PT Cruiser
NOTE:
This bulletin applies to vehicles built on or before May 05, 2008 (MDH 0505XX).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION: The customer will experience a no engine crank AND a no engine start
condition. Also, the remote keyless entry (RKE) system will not operate. This condition may be due
to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) from the ignition key into the Wireless Control Module (WCM),
causing the WCM to electronically lockup. This condition may occur more frequently in dry and/or
cold weather conditions where a sufficient electrostatic charge is more easily produced. This
condition is corrected by the replacement of the WCM.
DIAGNOSIS:
1. With the condition present (i.e. the vehicle in the no crank / no start condition), connect the
StarSCAN(R) scan tool to the vehicle.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON position, and power up the StarSCAN(R).
3. If the WCM is electronically locked up, the StarSCAN(R) will display the WCM as being "off bus".
4. If the no crank / no start condition is present, and the WCM is "off bus", then reset the WCM by
temporarily removing the IOD fuse (with the key out of the ignition switch), wait for 10 seconds and
then reinstall the IOD fuse.
5. With the IOD fuse reset having been performed, verify that the vehicle will now crank, start, and
run.
6. If the condition is temporarily corrected by performing the above steps, and if the part number of
the WCM is earlier than the part number of the WCM listed in the part reference table in the
Service Bulletin Parts Required Section below, then perform the Repair Procedure.

REPAIR PROCEDURE:
NOTE:
If the vehicle (a JS model vehicle in certain International markets) is equipped with an Electric
Steering Column Lock (ELV), then the WCM and the ELV must be replaced. Replace the WCM
and then the ELV. Next program the WCM and at least one (1) ignition key BEFORE programming
the ELV. IMPORTANT: Not following this repair process correctly will cause the new ELV to fail.
NOTE:
Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder. This will move the shaft lock module locking
bolt to the unlocked position. LEAVE the key in the lock cylinder while the shaft lock module is
being removed.
1. If vehicle is equipped with a Steering Shaft Lock Module (JS - Avenger I Stratus - some
International Markets), then the Shaft Lock Module will require replacement. From the Service Info
tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Security Information > Module, Shaft Lock >
Removal and Installation.
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, the ignition
key must have been inserted into the ignition lock cylinder. 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 key in the ignition lock cylinder until shaft lock module removal 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.
2. Replace the WCM/SKREEM. Refer to TechCONNECT for detailed service information. From the
Service Info tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Service Information > Module,
Sentry Key Remote Entry > Removal and Installation.
NOTE:
Obtain the vehicle PIN number prior to programming WCM/SKREEM or ELV.
NOTE:
If during the following steps the PIN number is properly entered but is rejected, then reenter the
PIN number again until it is accepted.
3. After both the WCM/SKREEM and the ELV (if equipped) have been replaced, Program the
WCM/SKREEM as follows:
a. Turn the ignition key to the ON position, (Engine Off)
b. Connect the scan tool (StarSCAN(R)) to the data link connector and turn the ignition to the RUN

REPAIR PROCEDURE:
NOTE:
If the vehicle (a JS model vehicle in certain International markets) is equipped with an Electric
Steering Column Lock (ELV), then the WCM and the ELV must be replaced. Replace the WCM
and then the ELV. Next program the WCM and at least one (1) ignition key BEFORE programming
the ELV. IMPORTANT: Not following this repair process correctly will cause the new ELV to fail.
NOTE:
Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder. This will move the shaft lock module locking
bolt to the unlocked position. LEAVE the key in the lock cylinder while the shaft lock module is
being removed.
1. If vehicle is equipped with a Steering Shaft Lock Module (JS - Avenger I Stratus - some
International Markets), then the Shaft Lock Module will require replacement. From the Service Info
tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Security Information > Module, Shaft Lock >
Removal and Installation.

SUBJECT: No Engine Crank Or No Engine Start Due To Electronic Lockup Of The WCM /
SKREEM
OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves the replacement of the Wireless Control Module (WCM), and if
equipped, the replacement of the Electric Steering Column Lock (ELV). The WCM is also referred
to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM).
MODELS:
2007 - 2008 (DR/DH/D1/DC/DM) Ram Truck (1500/2500/3500/4500/5500)
2007 - 2008 (JK) Wrangler

2007 - 2008 (JS) Avenger/Sebring
2007 - 2008 (KA) Nitro
2008 (KK) Liberty/Cherokee
2007 - 2008 (MK) Compass/Patriot
2007 - 2008 (PM) Caliber
2006 - 2008 (PT) Chrysler PT Cruiser
NOTE:
This bulletin applies to vehicles built on or before May 05, 2008 (MDH 0505XX).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION: The customer will experience a no engine crank AND a no engine start
condition. Also, the remote keyless entry (RKE) system will not operate. This condition may be due
to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) from the ignition key into the Wireless Control Module (WCM),
causing the WCM to electronically lockup. This condition may occur more frequently in dry and/or
cold weather conditions where a sufficient electrostatic charge is more easily produced. This
condition is corrected by the replacement of the WCM.
DIAGNOSIS:
1. With the condition present (i.e. the vehicle in the no crank / no start condition), connect the
StarSCAN(R) scan tool to the vehicle.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON position, and power up the StarSCAN(R).
3. If the WCM is electronically locked up, the StarSCAN(R) will display the WCM as being "off bus".
4. If the no crank / no start condition is present, and the WCM is "off bus", then reset the WCM by
temporarily removing the IOD fuse (with the key out of the ignition switch), wait for 10 seconds and
then reinstall the IOD fuse.
5. With the IOD fuse reset having been performed, verify that the vehicle will now crank, start, and
run.
6. If the condition is temporarily corrected by performing the above steps, and if the part number of
the WCM is earlier than the part number of the WCM listed in the part reference table in the
Service Bulletin Parts Required Section below, then perform the Repair Procedure.

Description
DESCRIPTION
All of the electrical current distributed throughout this vehicle is directed through the standard
equipment Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) (1). The molded plastic TIPM housing is
located in the left front corner of the engine compartment, just behind the air cleaner housing and
the battery. The TIPM housing has a molded plastic cover. The TIPM cover is easily removed for
service access and has a convenient fuse and relay layout label affixed to the inside surface of the
cover to ensure proper component identification.
The TIPM housing is secured to the left inner fender well an indexing pin and one screw. All of the
TIPM outputs are through the integral engine compartment wire harness.
Operation
OPERATION
All of the current from the generator cable connection goes to the battery through a 10 gauge
fusible link that is secured with a nut to the positive battery terminal at the starter. Internal
connection of all the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) circuits is accomplished by an
intricate network of hard wiring and bus bars. Refer to Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit
diagrams.
The fusible link, fuses and relays are available for service replacement. The TIPM unit cannot be
repaired and is only serviced as a unit with the engine compartment wire harness. If the TIPM is
inoperative or damaged, the engine compartment wire harness assembly must be replaced.

Power Distribution Module: Description and Operation Module-Inverter
Description
DESCRIPTION
The inverter module is located in the instrument panel. The A/C outlet is mounted in the center
console. The inverter module provides A/C power for user accessories. The inverter converts the
12 Volt DC from the battery system to a 110 Volt AC output.
Operation
OPERATION
The AC power outlet receives 12 volts from the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) and
passes it as an enable signal to the inverter module. The inverter module also receives 12 volts via
the TIPM and inverts this to a 110 volt AC output. The enable signal received from the power outlet
enables the inverter to convert the received voltage and pass it to the power outlet to power
external devices.

Power Interrupt Connector/Switch: Description and Operation 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 Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Power Interrupt Connector/Switch > Component Information
> Description and Operation > Description > Page 6324
Power Interrupt Connector/Switch: Description and Operation 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.
The IOD fuse is disconnected from Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) fuse cavities 7 and 8 in
a preset fuse holder. when the vehicle is shipped from the assembly plant. Dealer personnel must
reconnect the IOD fuse when the vehicle is being prepared for delivery in order to restore full
electrical system operation. Once the vehicle is prepared for delivery, the IOD function of this fuse
becomes transparent and the fuse that has been assigned the IOD designation becomes 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.

2006 - 2008 (PT) Chrysler PT Cruiser
NOTE:
This bulletin applies to vehicles built on or before May 05, 2008 (MDH 0505XX).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION: The customer will experience a no engine crank AND a no engine start
condition. Also, the remote keyless entry (RKE) system will not operate. This condition may be due
to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) from the ignition key into the Wireless Control Module (WCM),
causing the WCM to electronically lockup. This condition may occur more frequently in dry and/or
cold weather conditions where a sufficient electrostatic charge is more easily produced. This
condition is corrected by the replacement of the WCM.
DIAGNOSIS:
1. With the condition present (i.e. the vehicle in the no crank / no start condition), connect the
StarSCAN(R) scan tool to the vehicle.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON position, and power up the StarSCAN(R).
3. If the WCM is electronically locked up, the StarSCAN(R) will display the WCM as being "off bus".
4. If the no crank / no start condition is present, and the WCM is "off bus", then reset the WCM by
temporarily removing the IOD fuse (with the key out of the ignition switch), wait for 10 seconds and
then reinstall the IOD fuse.
5. With the IOD fuse reset having been performed, verify that the vehicle will now crank, start, and
run.
6. If the condition is temporarily corrected by performing the above steps, and if the part number of
the WCM is earlier than the part number of the WCM listed in the part reference table in the
Service Bulletin Parts Required Section below, then perform the Repair Procedure.

PARTS REQUIRED:
NOTE:
The part numbers listed in the following part reference table are to be used as A GUIDE to help
determine if the WCM, that is currently in the vehicle, may require replacement. If it is determined
that the WCM requires replacement, then ALWAYS REFER TO THE PARTS MANUAL to
determine the correct WCM for the specific vehicle in question. In some earlier model years, the
WCM may rule (supersede) to one of the part numbers listed in the table. ALWAYS REFER TO
THE PARTS MANUAL (not the part reference table) to determine the correct part number ruling
(supercedence / substitution). MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE CORRECT WCM IS ORDERED THE
FIRST TIME FOR THE SPECIFIC VEHICLE IN QUESTION.

REPAIR PROCEDURE:
NOTE:
If the vehicle (a JS model vehicle in certain International markets) is equipped with an Electric
Steering Column Lock (ELV), then the WCM and the ELV must be replaced. Replace the WCM
and then the ELV. Next program the WCM and at least one (1) ignition key BEFORE programming
the ELV. IMPORTANT: Not following this repair process correctly will cause the new ELV to fail.
NOTE:
Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder. This will move the shaft lock module locking
bolt to the unlocked position. LEAVE the key in the lock cylinder while the shaft lock module is
being removed.
1. If vehicle is equipped with a Steering Shaft Lock Module (JS - Avenger I Stratus - some
International Markets), then the Shaft Lock Module will require replacement. From the Service Info
tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Security Information > Module, Shaft Lock >
Removal and Installation.
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, the ignition
key must have been inserted into the ignition lock cylinder. 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 key in the ignition lock cylinder until shaft lock module removal 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.
2. Replace the WCM/SKREEM. Refer to TechCONNECT for detailed service information. From the
Service Info tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Service Information > Module,
Sentry Key Remote Entry > Removal and Installation.
NOTE:
Obtain the vehicle PIN number prior to programming WCM/SKREEM or ELV.
NOTE:
If during the following steps the PIN number is properly entered but is rejected, then reenter the
PIN number again until it is accepted.
3. After both the WCM/SKREEM and the ELV (if equipped) have been replaced, Program the
WCM/SKREEM as follows:
a. Turn the ignition key to the ON position, (Engine Off)
b. Connect the scan tool (StarSCAN(R)) to the data link connector and turn the ignition to the RUN
position, (engine off).
c. Select "ECU View."
d. Scroll down and select "WCM" in the list of modules.
e. Select "Misc. Functions."

SUBJECT: No Engine Crank Or No Engine Start Due To Electronic Lockup Of The WCM /
SKREEM
OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves the replacement of the Wireless Control Module (WCM), and if
equipped, the replacement of the Electric Steering Column Lock (ELV). The WCM is also referred
to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM).
MODELS:
2007 - 2008 (DR/DH/D1/DC/DM) Ram Truck (1500/2500/3500/4500/5500)
2007 - 2008 (JK) Wrangler
2007 - 2008 (J1) Sebring (China)
2007 - 2008 (JS) Avenger/Sebring
2007 - 2008 (KA) Nitro
2008 (KK) Liberty/Cherokee
2007 - 2008 (MK) Compass/Patriot
2007 - 2008 (PM) Caliber
2006 - 2008 (PT) Chrysler PT Cruiser
NOTE:
This bulletin applies to vehicles built on or before May 05, 2008 (MDH 0505XX).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION: The customer will experience a no engine crank AND a no engine start
condition. Also, the remote keyless entry (RKE) system will not operate. This condition may be due
to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) from the ignition key into the Wireless Control Module (WCM),
causing the WCM to electronically lockup. This condition may occur more frequently in dry and/or
cold weather conditions where a sufficient electrostatic charge is more easily produced. This
condition is corrected by the replacement of the WCM.
DIAGNOSIS:
1. With the condition present (i.e. the vehicle in the no crank / no start condition), connect the
StarSCAN(R) scan tool to the vehicle.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON position, and power up the StarSCAN(R).
3. If the WCM is electronically locked up, the StarSCAN(R) will display the WCM as being "off bus".
4. If the no crank / no start condition is present, and the WCM is "off bus", then reset the WCM by
temporarily removing the IOD fuse (with the key out of the ignition switch), wait for 10 seconds and
then reinstall the IOD fuse.
5. With the IOD fuse reset having been performed, verify that the vehicle will now crank, start, and
run.
6. If the condition is temporarily corrected by performing the above steps, and if the part number of
the WCM is earlier than the part number of the WCM listed in the part reference table in the
Service Bulletin Parts Required Section below, then perform the Repair Procedure.

PARTS REQUIRED:
NOTE:
The part numbers listed in the following part reference table are to be used as A GUIDE to help
determine if the WCM, that is currently in the vehicle, may require replacement. If it is determined
that the WCM requires replacement, then ALWAYS REFER TO THE PARTS MANUAL to
determine the correct WCM for the specific vehicle in question. In some earlier model years, the
WCM may rule (supersede) to one of the part numbers listed in the table. ALWAYS REFER TO
THE PARTS MANUAL (not the part reference table) to determine the correct part number ruling
(supercedence / substitution). MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE CORRECT WCM IS ORDERED THE
FIRST TIME FOR THE SPECIFIC VEHICLE IN QUESTION.

REPAIR PROCEDURE:
NOTE:
If the vehicle (a JS model vehicle in certain International markets) is equipped with an Electric
Steering Column Lock (ELV), then the WCM and the ELV must be replaced. Replace the WCM
and then the ELV. Next program the WCM and at least one (1) ignition key BEFORE programming
the ELV. IMPORTANT: Not following this repair process correctly will cause the new ELV to fail.
NOTE:
Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder. This will move the shaft lock module locking
bolt to the unlocked position. LEAVE the key in the lock cylinder while the shaft lock module is
being removed.
1. If vehicle is equipped with a Steering Shaft Lock Module (JS - Avenger I Stratus - some
International Markets), then the Shaft Lock Module will require replacement. From the Service Info
tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Security Information > Module, Shaft Lock >
Removal and Installation.
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, the ignition
key must have been inserted into the ignition lock cylinder. 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 key in the ignition lock cylinder until shaft lock module removal 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.
2. Replace the WCM/SKREEM. Refer to TechCONNECT for detailed service information. From the
Service Info tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Service Information > Module,
Sentry Key Remote Entry > Removal and Installation.
NOTE:
Obtain the vehicle PIN number prior to programming WCM/SKREEM or ELV.
NOTE:
If during the following steps the PIN number is properly entered but is rejected, then reenter the
PIN number again until it is accepted.
3. After both the WCM/SKREEM and the ELV (if equipped) have been replaced, Program the
WCM/SKREEM as follows:
a. Turn the ignition key to the ON position, (Engine Off)
b. Connect the scan tool (StarSCAN(R)) to the data link connector and turn the ignition to the RUN
position, (engine off).
c. Select "ECU View."
d. Scroll down and select "WCM" in the list of modules.

Service Procedure
NOTE:
Use StarSCAN(R) to perform this Customer Satisfaction Notice. This procedure must be performed
using software release 8.02 or higher.
Re-Configure the TIPM using StarSCAN(R)
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 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.
2. Connect the CH9410 StarSCAN(R) Ethernet cable to the StarSCAN(R) and the dealer's network
drop.
3. Connect the CH9404 StarSCAN® vehicle cable to the StarSCAN(R) and the vehicle.
4. Place the Ignition in the "RUN" position, then Power "ON" the StarSCAN(R).
5. Re-Configure the TIPM as Follows:
a. With the StarSCAN(R) on the "Home" screen, select "ECU View".
b. Select "TIPMCGW Central Gateway" in the list of modules.
c. Select "Misc Functions".

Power Distribution Module: Description and Operation Totally Integrated Power Module
Description
DESCRIPTION
All of the electrical current distributed throughout this vehicle is directed through the standard
equipment Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) (1). The molded plastic TIPM housing is
located in the left front corner of the engine compartment, just behind the air cleaner housing and
the battery. The TIPM housing has a molded plastic cover. The TIPM cover is easily removed for
service access and has a convenient fuse and relay layout label affixed to the inside surface of the
cover to ensure proper component identification.
The TIPM housing is secured to the left inner fender well an indexing pin and one screw. All of the
TIPM outputs are through the integral engine compartment wire harness.
Operation
OPERATION
All of the current from the generator cable connection goes to the battery through a 10 gauge
fusible link that is secured with a nut to the positive battery terminal at the starter. Internal
connection of all the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) circuits is accomplished by an
intricate network of hard wiring and bus bars. Refer to Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit
diagrams.
The fusible link, fuses and relays are available for service replacement. The TIPM unit cannot be
repaired and is only serviced as a unit with the engine compartment wire harness. If the TIPM is
inoperative or damaged, the engine compartment wire harness assembly must be replaced.

Power Distribution Module: Description and Operation Module-Inverter
Description
DESCRIPTION
The inverter module is located in the instrument panel. The A/C outlet is mounted in the center
console. The inverter module provides A/C power for user accessories. The inverter converts the
12 Volt DC from the battery system to a 110 Volt AC output.
Operation
OPERATION
The AC power outlet receives 12 volts from the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) and
passes it as an enable signal to the inverter module. The inverter module also receives 12 volts via
the TIPM and inverts this to a 110 volt AC output. The enable signal received from the power outlet
enables the inverter to convert the received voltage and pass it to the power outlet to power
external devices.

Power Interrupt Connector/Switch: Description and Operation 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.

Power Interrupt Connector/Switch: Description and Operation 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.
The IOD fuse is disconnected from Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) fuse cavities 7 and 8 in
a preset fuse holder. when the vehicle is shipped from the assembly plant. Dealer personnel must
reconnect the IOD fuse when the vehicle is being prepared for delivery in order to restore full
electrical system operation. Once the vehicle is prepared for delivery, the IOD function of this fuse
becomes transparent and the fuse that has been assigned the IOD designation becomes 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 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. Remove fuse 7/8 from the TIPM.

Alignment: Specifications Curb Height Specifications
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 lower control arm rear
(vertical) pivot bolt head (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 center of the outboard
trailing arm-to-body mounting bolt (1) to the floor or

alignment rack/lift runway surface.
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.

alignment is essential for efficient steering, good directional stability, and proper tire wear.
The method of checking a vehicle's front and rear wheel alignment varies depending on the
manufacturer and type of equipment used. The manufacturer's instructions should always be
followed to ensure accuracy of the alignment, except when DaimlerChrysler Corporation's wheel
alignment specifications differ.
On this vehicle, the suspension angles that can be adjusted are as follows:
Front
- Camber (with 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.
Typical wheel alignment angles and measurements are described in the following paragraphs.
CAMBER
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 6487
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 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
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 6488
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 Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 6489
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 Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 6490
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.)
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 6491
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 Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 6492
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.
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.
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.
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. 2. Loosen the bolts fastening the fore/aft crossmember to the
frame just enough to allow movement of the crossmember.
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.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Service and Repair > Wheel
Alignment > Page 6498
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.
Front Camber Adjustment By Shifting Crossmember
Front Caster Adjustment By Shifting Crossmember
4. Tighten all previously loosened fasteners (bolts) securing the crossmember to the vehicle to
specifications. 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
The camber adjustment bolt package contains new bolts and nuts for attaching the strut clevis
bracket to the steering knuckle. The bolts contained in the package are slightly undersize allowing
for movement between the strut clevis bracket and the steering knuckle. The movement allowed by
the undersize bolts provide approximately two degrees of camber adjustment per side of the
vehicle. To install and adjust the camber adjustment bolt package, follow the procedure below.
7. Raise the vehicle until its tires are not supporting the weight of the vehicle.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))

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 lower control arm rear
(vertical) pivot bolt head (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 center of the outboard
trailing arm-to-body mounting bolt (1) to the floor or

alignment rack/lift runway surface.
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.

Steering Column Control Module: Description and Operation 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. 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
- Right Multi-Function Switch

Steering Column Control Module: Description and Operation 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.

Steering Mounted Controls Communication Module: Description and Operation 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. 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
- Right Multi-Function Switch

Steering Mounted Controls Communication Module: Description and Operation 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.

Tire Pressure Monitor Receiver / Transponder: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A transponder, sometimes referred to as a trigger module, is located in three of the four wheel
wells (behind the wheelhouse splash shields) of a vehicle equipped with Premium TPM. These
transponders are used to provide the Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as
the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM), with the location of the tire pressure sensors on
the vehicle. A fourth transponder is not necessary in the remaining wheel well due to the
process-of-elimination theory. Once the system knows the location of the first three sensors it
assumes the location of the fourth tire pressure sensor. On this vehicle, there is a transponder
located in the left front, left rear, and right rear wheelhouse. There is not a transponder located in
the right front wheelhouse.

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

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The use of tire sealants is strictly prohibited for vehicles equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring system. Tire sealants can clog tire pressure sensors.
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: 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: When installing the valve core, be sure to tighten the core to specifications.
Overtightening by a little as three or four inch pounds can damage the sensor.
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.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation 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 315 MHz radio frequency. The 315 MHz sensors can be easily
identified by a white outline oval (black center) insignia (3) on the sensor body.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
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 > Description >
Page 6590
The Export TPM system operates on a 433 MHz radio frequency. The 433 MHz sensors can be
easily identified by either a solid white oval insignia (3) on the body or...
... a solid white oval insignia (3) with 433 printed in the center. The sensors are identical except for
the oval insignia. The 433 MHz sensors can either have a black or grey sensor body.
CAUTION: Although 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and shape, they are not
interchangeable. Always make sure the correct sensor is being used.
NOTE: Sensors may be identified by valve stem cap color. From the factory, 315 MHz sensors
have a gray valve stem cap while 433 MHz sensors have a black valve stem cap. Otherwise, once
mounted inside a tire and wheel assembly you are not able to visually tell the difference between a
315 MHz and 433 MHz sensor. At that point, the TPM-RKE Analyzer, Special Tool 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.
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 > Description >
Page 6591
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 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, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor's operating mode to PARK MODE
and to help diagnose a faulty TPM sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to
force a transmission from a sensor.
The TPM sensor can be in one of the following operating modes:
- SLEEP MODE - This is the operating mode of a new TPM sensor. If placed on the vehicle as a
road tire, the sensor will transmit once every 20 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over
15 mph (24 km/h). Driving the vehicle continuously at this speed for more then 4 minutes will
change the sensor state to DRIVE MODE. Stopping the vehicle for 20 minutes will change the
sensor state to PARK MODE. If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a
pressure change greater then 1 psi (6.9 kPa).
- PARK MODE - This is the correct operating mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will
transmit once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 1 psi (6.9 kPa) delta
change. The sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to
determine a change in tire pressure.
- 30 BLOCK MODE - If the vehicle has been stopped for more then 20 minutes, or if the sensor's
operating mode was forced to PARK MODE using a TPM-RKE Analyzer, the sensor's operating
mode will transition from PARK MODE to 30 BLOCK MODE once the vehicle is driven over 15
mph. In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every 15 seconds when the vehicle is driven at
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h) for the first 30 transmissions. After about 8 minutes of continuous
driving above 15 mph (24 km/h), the sensor's mode will change to DRIVE MODE.
- DRIVE MODE - In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every minute when the vehicle is
driven at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). At any time the vehicle speed drops below 15 mph, the
sensor will not transmit. The sensor mode will still be in drive mode when the sensor reaches
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h), unless the vehicle has been stationary for more then 20 minutes.
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the wireless control module (WCM)
can monitor the state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The WCM can
automatically learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 10 minutes continuously above
15 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 WCM 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.

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
DESCRIPTION
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.

Power Steering Fluid: Testing and Inspection
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.

Power Steering Fluid: Service and Repair
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.
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 STEP 1. 7. Repeat STEP 1 through STEP 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.

Power Steering Pump: Testing and Inspection
POWER STEERING PUMP AND HOSES
NOTE: This information is designed to be used in conjunction with the diagnostic charts at the
beginning of the Steering section.
CHECKING FOR WEAR OF POWER STEERING PUMP INTERNAL COMPONENTS
1. Place gear selector in PARK (or NEUTRAL) with wheels chalked. 2. With the engine idling, have
a helper turn the steering wheel. 3. Using an electronic listening tool, determine if noise is coming
from the pump. 4. Increase the engine speed and have a helper turn the steering wheel. Does the
noise change with load? 5. Replace the power steering pump if excessive noise is present.
CHECKING FOR POWER STEERING HOSES TOUCHING BODY OR FRAME OF VEHICLE
Check hoses and hose tubes as following:
- Inspect hoses and hose tubes for witness marks. If witness marks are present, adjust hose(s) to
the proper position by loosening, repositioning and tightening attachments to the specified torque.
Do not bend tubing to adjust. Replace the hose assembly if damaged.
- Check fastener torque of hose mounting brackets and tube nuts.
- Have a helper bump the steering gear off of the stops to induce pressure fluctuations which may
move the hose. If hose contact is made, adjust hose(s) to the proper position by loosening,
repositioning and tightening attachments to the specified torque. Do not bend tubing to adjust.
Replace the hose assembly if damaged.

Steering Column Control Module: Description and Operation 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. 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
- Right Multi-Function Switch

Steering Column Control Module: Description and Operation 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.

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. 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
- Right Multi-Function Switch

Steering Column Control Module: Description and Operation 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.

SUBJECT: No Engine Crank Or No Engine Start Due To Electronic Lockup Of The WCM /
SKREEM
OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves the replacement of the Wireless Control Module (WCM), and if
equipped, the replacement of the Electric Steering Column Lock (ELV). The WCM is also referred
to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM).
MODELS:
2007 - 2008 (DR/DH/D1/DC/DM) Ram Truck (1500/2500/3500/4500/5500)
2007 - 2008 (JK) Wrangler
2007 - 2008 (J1) Sebring (China)
2007 - 2008 (JS) Avenger/Sebring

2006 - 2008 (PT) Chrysler PT Cruiser
NOTE:
This bulletin applies to vehicles built on or before May 05, 2008 (MDH 0505XX).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION: The customer will experience a no engine crank AND a no engine start
condition. Also, the remote keyless entry (RKE) system will not operate. This condition may be due
to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) from the ignition key into the Wireless Control Module (WCM),
causing the WCM to electronically lockup. This condition may occur more frequently in dry and/or
cold weather conditions where a sufficient electrostatic charge is more easily produced. This
condition is corrected by the replacement of the WCM.
DIAGNOSIS:
1. With the condition present (i.e. the vehicle in the no crank / no start condition), connect the
StarSCAN(R) scan tool to the vehicle.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON position, and power up the StarSCAN(R).
3. If the WCM is electronically locked up, the StarSCAN(R) will display the WCM as being "off bus".
4. If the no crank / no start condition is present, and the WCM is "off bus", then reset the WCM by
temporarily removing the IOD fuse (with the key out of the ignition switch), wait for 10 seconds and
then reinstall the IOD fuse.
5. With the IOD fuse reset having been performed, verify that the vehicle will now crank, start, and
run.
6. If the condition is temporarily corrected by performing the above steps, and if the part number of
the WCM is earlier than the part number of the WCM listed in the part reference table in the
Service Bulletin Parts Required Section below, then perform the Repair Procedure.

PARTS REQUIRED:
NOTE:
The part numbers listed in the following part reference table are to be used as A GUIDE to help
determine if the WCM, that is currently in the vehicle, may require replacement. If it is determined
that the WCM requires replacement, then ALWAYS REFER TO THE PARTS MANUAL to
determine the correct WCM for the specific vehicle in question. In some earlier model years, the
WCM may rule (supersede) to one of the part numbers listed in the table. ALWAYS REFER TO
THE PARTS MANUAL (not the part reference table) to determine the correct part number ruling
(supercedence / substitution). MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE CORRECT WCM IS ORDERED THE
FIRST TIME FOR THE SPECIFIC VEHICLE IN QUESTION.

REPAIR PROCEDURE:
NOTE:
If the vehicle (a JS model vehicle in certain International markets) is equipped with an Electric
Steering Column Lock (ELV), then the WCM and the ELV must be replaced. Replace the WCM
and then the ELV. Next program the WCM and at least one (1) ignition key BEFORE programming
the ELV. IMPORTANT: Not following this repair process correctly will cause the new ELV to fail.
NOTE:
Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder. This will move the shaft lock module locking
bolt to the unlocked position. LEAVE the key in the lock cylinder while the shaft lock module is
being removed.
1. If vehicle is equipped with a Steering Shaft Lock Module (JS - Avenger I Stratus - some
International Markets), then the Shaft Lock Module will require replacement. From the Service Info
tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Security Information > Module, Shaft Lock >
Removal and Installation.
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, the ignition
key must have been inserted into the ignition lock cylinder. 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 key in the ignition lock cylinder until shaft lock module removal 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.
2. Replace the WCM/SKREEM. Refer to TechCONNECT for detailed service information. From the
Service Info tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Service Information > Module,
Sentry Key Remote Entry > Removal and Installation.
NOTE:
Obtain the vehicle PIN number prior to programming WCM/SKREEM or ELV.
NOTE:
If during the following steps the PIN number is properly entered but is rejected, then reenter the
PIN number again until it is accepted.
3. After both the WCM/SKREEM and the ELV (if equipped) have been replaced, Program the
WCM/SKREEM as follows:
a. Turn the ignition key to the ON position, (Engine Off)
b. Connect the scan tool (StarSCAN(R)) to the data link connector and turn the ignition to the RUN
position, (engine off).

Steering Mounted Controls Communication Module: Description and Operation 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. 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
- Right Multi-Function Switch

Steering Mounted Controls Communication Module: Description and Operation 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.

Suspension Strut / Shock Absorber: Description and Operation Front Suspension
Description
DESCRIPTION
A MacPherson type design strut assembly is used in place of the 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 (rubber isolated) (2)
- Bearing (3)
- Upper spring seat and isolator (4)
- Coil spring (5)
- Dust shield and jounce bumper (6)
- Lower spring isolator (7)
- Strut (damper) (8)
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.
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 Suspension
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)
- Upper spring isolator (5)
- Sleeve (6)
- Lower bushing (7)
- Jounce bumper (9)
- Dust shield (10)
- Coil spring (11)
- Lower spring isolator (12)
- Shock absorber (13)
Later build vehicles also have a noise abatement cap located on top of the assembly.
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
Inspect the strut assembly for the following conditions:
- Inspect for a damaged or broken coil spring (5).
- Inspect for a torn or damaged dust shield (6).
- 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 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

Wheel Bearing: Description and Operation Front Suspension
DESCRIPTION
The wheel bearing (5) and hub (3) are pressed into the knuckle (1). The wheel bearing is secured
in place using a snap ring.
One side of the wheel bearing has an integrated magnetic encoder ring for wheel speed sensor
usage as equipped. It is important that the wheel speed sensor magnetic encoder ring (dark band)
(3) be positioned to the inside of the knuckle or the wheel speed sensor will not operate correctly.
The wheel bearing is a Unit 1 type cartridge bearing that requires no maintenance. The wheel
bearing can be serviced separately from the hub.
The hub supports the driveline halfshaft outer constant velocity (C/V) joint. Each is splined and
meshes in the center of the hub. The outer C/V joint is retained to the hub using a nut. The nut is
locked to the outer C/V stub shaft using a cotter pin.
The hub has five studs pressed into its flange.

Wheel Bearing: Description and Operation Rear Suspension
DESCRIPTION
The rear wheel bearing and wheel mounting hub used on this vehicle are a one-piece sealed unit
or hub and bearing assembly. It is permanently lubricated when assembled and is sealed for life.
There is no periodic lubrication or maintenance recommended for these units.
The hub and bearing (5) is mounted to the trailing link (1).
All vehicles have a magnetic encoder integrated into the right rear hub and bearing for speed
sense. Vehicles equipped with antilock brakes have a magnetic encoder integrated into both rear
hub and bearings. The encoder works with the rear wheel speed sensors to provide wheel speed
signal. The sensor mounts by screw to the rear of the front-wheel-drive hub and bearing while the
sensor clips to the rear of the all-wheel-drive hub and bearing.
The only serviceable components of the hub and bearing are the wheel mounting studs pressed
into the hub.

WHEEL BEARING AND HUB
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 wheel bearing and hub.
1. Remove the wheel and tire assembly, disc brake caliper and brake rotor. 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 bearing
replacement. Moderate grease weeping from the bearing is considered normal and should not
require replacement of the wheel bearing.
To diagnose a bent hub, measure hub runout. Refer to Brakes and Traction Control/Testing and
inspection.

Tire Pressure Monitor Receiver / Transponder: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A transponder, sometimes referred to as a trigger module, is located in three of the four wheel
wells (behind the wheelhouse splash shields) of a vehicle equipped with Premium TPM. These
transponders are used to provide the Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as
the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM), with the location of the tire pressure sensors on
the vehicle. A fourth transponder is not necessary in the remaining wheel well due to the
process-of-elimination theory. Once the system knows the location of the first three sensors it
assumes the location of the fourth tire pressure sensor. On this vehicle, there is a transponder
located in the left front, left rear, and right rear wheelhouse. There is not a transponder located in
the right front wheelhouse.

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

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The use of tire sealants is strictly prohibited for vehicles equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring system. Tire sealants can clog tire pressure sensors.
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: 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: When installing the valve core, be sure to tighten the core to specifications.
Overtightening by a little as three or four inch pounds can damage the sensor.
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.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation 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 315 MHz radio frequency. The 315 MHz sensors can be easily
identified by a white outline oval (black center) insignia (3) on the sensor body.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Sensors and Switches - Wheels and Tires >
Tire Pressure Sensor > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 7043
The Export TPM system operates on a 433 MHz radio frequency. The 433 MHz sensors can be
easily identified by either a solid white oval insignia (3) on the body or...
... a solid white oval insignia (3) with 433 printed in the center. The sensors are identical except for
the oval insignia. The 433 MHz sensors can either have a black or grey sensor body.
CAUTION: Although 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and shape, they are not
interchangeable. Always make sure the correct sensor is being used.
NOTE: Sensors may be identified by valve stem cap color. From the factory, 315 MHz sensors
have a gray valve stem cap while 433 MHz sensors have a black valve stem cap. Otherwise, once
mounted inside a tire and wheel assembly you are not able to visually tell the difference between a
315 MHz and 433 MHz sensor. At that point, the TPM-RKE Analyzer, Special Tool 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.
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 > Wheels and Tires > Sensors and Switches - Wheels and Tires >
Tire Pressure Sensor > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 7044
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 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, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor's operating mode to PARK MODE
and to help diagnose a faulty TPM sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to
force a transmission from a sensor.
The TPM sensor can be in one of the following operating modes:
- SLEEP MODE - This is the operating mode of a new TPM sensor. If placed on the vehicle as a
road tire, the sensor will transmit once every 20 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over
15 mph (24 km/h). Driving the vehicle continuously at this speed for more then 4 minutes will
change the sensor state to DRIVE MODE. Stopping the vehicle for 20 minutes will change the
sensor state to PARK MODE. If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a
pressure change greater then 1 psi (6.9 kPa).
- PARK MODE - This is the correct operating mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will
transmit once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 1 psi (6.9 kPa) delta
change. The sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to
determine a change in tire pressure.
- 30 BLOCK MODE - If the vehicle has been stopped for more then 20 minutes, or if the sensor's
operating mode was forced to PARK MODE using a TPM-RKE Analyzer, the sensor's operating
mode will transition from PARK MODE to 30 BLOCK MODE once the vehicle is driven over 15
mph. In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every 15 seconds when the vehicle is driven at
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h) for the first 30 transmissions. After about 8 minutes of continuous
driving above 15 mph (24 km/h), the sensor's mode will change to DRIVE MODE.
- DRIVE MODE - In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every minute when the vehicle is
driven at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). At any time the vehicle speed drops below 15 mph, the
sensor will not transmit. The sensor mode will still be in drive mode when the sensor reaches
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h), unless the vehicle has been stationary for more then 20 minutes.
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the wireless control module (WCM)
can monitor the state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The WCM can
automatically learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 10 minutes continuously above
15 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 WCM 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.
2. Remove wheel mounting nuts (3), then tire and wheel assembly (1).
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. That includes both front and
rear beads of the tire.
b. When preparing to dismount the tire from the wheel, carefully insert the mounting/dismounting
tool at the valve stem ± 10°, then proceed to
dismount the tire from the wheel. Use this process on both the upper and lower 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.

Tire Pressure Monitor Receiver / Transponder: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A transponder, sometimes referred to as a trigger module, is located in three of the four wheel
wells (behind the wheelhouse splash shields) of a vehicle equipped with Premium TPM. These
transponders are used to provide the Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as
the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM), with the location of the tire pressure sensors on
the vehicle. A fourth transponder is not necessary in the remaining wheel well due to the
process-of-elimination theory. Once the system knows the location of the first three sensors it
assumes the location of the fourth tire pressure sensor. On this vehicle, there is a transponder
located in the left front, left rear, and right rear wheelhouse. There is not a transponder located in
the right front wheelhouse.

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

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 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, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor's operating mode to PARK MODE
and to help diagnose a faulty TPM sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to
force a transmission from a sensor.
The TPM sensor can be in one of the following operating modes:
- SLEEP MODE - This is the operating mode of a new TPM sensor. If placed on the vehicle as a
road tire, the sensor will transmit once every 20 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over
15 mph (24 km/h). Driving the vehicle continuously at this speed for more then 4 minutes will
change the sensor state to DRIVE MODE. Stopping the vehicle for 20 minutes will change the
sensor state to PARK MODE. If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a
pressure change greater then 1 psi (6.9 kPa).
- PARK MODE - This is the correct operating mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will
transmit once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 1 psi (6.9 kPa) delta
change. The sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to
determine a change in tire pressure.
- 30 BLOCK MODE - If the vehicle has been stopped for more then 20 minutes, or if the sensor's
operating mode was forced to PARK MODE using a TPM-RKE Analyzer, the sensor's operating
mode will transition from PARK MODE to 30 BLOCK MODE once the vehicle is driven over 15
mph. In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every 15 seconds when the vehicle is driven at
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h) for the first 30 transmissions. After about 8 minutes of continuous
driving above 15 mph (24 km/h), the sensor's mode will change to DRIVE MODE.
- DRIVE MODE - In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every minute when the vehicle is
driven at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). At any time the vehicle speed drops below 15 mph, the
sensor will not transmit. The sensor mode will still be in drive mode when the sensor reaches
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h), unless the vehicle has been stationary for more then 20 minutes.
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the wireless control module (WCM)
can monitor the state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The WCM can
automatically learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 10 minutes continuously above
15 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 WCM 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.

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
WHEEL
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 must 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: DaimlerChrysler Corporation does not recommend that customers use "reconditioned"
wheels (wheels that have been damaged and repaired) because they can result in a sudden
catastrophic wheel failure which could cause loss of control and result in injury or death. For
clarification:
- Cosmetic refinishing for the purpose of repairing a superficial flaw is an acceptable procedure
providing it is limited to paint or clear coat only, the wheel is not modified in any way, and there is
no exposure to paint curing heat over 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Damaged wheels are those which have been bent, broken, cracked or sustained some other
physical damage which may have compromised the wheel structure.
- Repaired indicates that the wheel has been modified through bending, welding, heating,
straightening, or material removal to rectify damage.
- Re-plating of chrome plated wheels is not an acceptable procedure nor is chrome plating of
original equipment painted or polished wheels, as this may alter mechanical properties and affect
fatigue life.

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 & 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.

Wheel Bearing: Description and Operation Front Suspension
DESCRIPTION
The wheel bearing (5) and hub (3) are pressed into the knuckle (1). The wheel bearing is secured
in place using a snap ring.
One side of the wheel bearing has an integrated magnetic encoder ring for wheel speed sensor
usage as equipped. It is important that the wheel speed sensor magnetic encoder ring (dark band)
(3) be positioned to the inside of the knuckle or the wheel speed sensor will not operate correctly.
The wheel bearing is a Unit 1 type cartridge bearing that requires no maintenance. The wheel
bearing can be serviced separately from the hub.
The hub supports the driveline halfshaft outer constant velocity (C/V) joint. Each is splined and
meshes in the center of the hub. The outer C/V joint is retained to the hub using a nut. The nut is
locked to the outer C/V stub shaft using a cotter pin.
The hub has five studs pressed into its flange.

Wheel Bearing: Description and Operation Rear Suspension
DESCRIPTION
The rear wheel bearing and wheel mounting hub used on this vehicle are a one-piece sealed unit
or hub and bearing assembly. It is permanently lubricated when assembled and is sealed for life.
There is no periodic lubrication or maintenance recommended for these units.
The hub and bearing (5) is mounted to the trailing link (1).
All vehicles have a magnetic encoder integrated into the right rear hub and bearing for speed
sense. Vehicles equipped with antilock brakes have a magnetic encoder integrated into both rear
hub and bearings. The encoder works with the rear wheel speed sensors to provide wheel speed
signal. The sensor mounts by screw to the rear of the front-wheel-drive hub and bearing while the
sensor clips to the rear of the all-wheel-drive hub and bearing.
The only serviceable components of the hub and bearing are the wheel mounting studs pressed
into the hub.

WHEEL BEARING AND HUB
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 wheel bearing and hub.
1. Remove the wheel and tire assembly, disc brake caliper and brake rotor. 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 bearing
replacement. Moderate grease weeping from the bearing is considered normal and should not
require replacement of the wheel bearing.
To diagnose a bent hub, measure hub runout. Refer to Brakes and Traction Control/Testing and
inspection.

Accumulator HVAC: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
To protect the A/C compressor from any liquid slugging, an A/C accumulator (1) is used in this A/C
system to retain any refrigerant that may exit from the evaporator in a liquid state.
The A/C accumulator is mounted below the engine compartment behind the right side of the front
fascia. A band and mounting bracket (2) secures the A/C accumulator to the right front frame rail
and the connections are sealed by use of metal gaskets (3) and rubber O-rings (4).

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Accumulator HVAC > Component Information > Description
and Operation > Description > Page 7154
Accumulator HVAC: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
NOTE: Typical A/C accumulator shown.
Refrigerant enters the A/C accumulator (1) mostly as a low pressure vapor through the inlet tube
(2). Any liquid, oil-laden refrigerant falls to the bottom of the canister, which acts as a separator. A
desiccant bag (3) is mounted inside the accumulator canister to absorb any moisture which may
have entered and become trapped within the refrigerant system. A filter (4) is also mounted inside
the canister to trap any foreign material that may have entered the refrigerant system during
assembly. The low pressure vapor exits the A/C accumulator through the outlet tube (5).
NOTE: Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals and gaskets is required anytime a
refrigerant line is opened. Failure to replace the rubber O-ring seals and metal gaskets could result
in a refrigerant system leak.
The A/C accumulator 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 accumulator is
removed and installed.
The A/C accumulator cannot be repaired and must be replaced if found to be leaking or damaged,
or if an internal failure of the A/C compressor has occurred.

Air Door Actuator / Motor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The recirculation door actuator (1) is a reversible, 12 volt direct current (DC) servo motor, which is
connected directly to the pivot shaft lever of the recirculation-air door. The recirculation door
actuator is located on the right side of the HVAC air inlet housing.
The recirculation door actuator is contained within a black molded plastic housing with an integral
wire connector receptacle (2), an output shaft with splines (3) that connect it to the recirculation
door and three integral mounting tabs (4) that allow the actuator to be secured to the air inlet
housing. The recirculation door actuator does not require mechanical indexing to the
recirculation-air door, as it is electronically calibrated by the A/C-heater control.

Air Door Actuator / Motor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The recirculation 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
recirculation door actuator can move the recirculation-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 recirculation-air door will move in one direction. When the A/C-heater control
reverses the polarity of the voltage to the motor, the recirculation-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 recirculation-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 recirculation door actuator and the recirculation-air door. The A/C-heater control
learns the recirculation-air door stop positions during the calibration procedure and will store a
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for any problems it detects in the recirculation door actuator circuits.
The recirculation door actuator cannot be adjusted or repaired and it must be replaced if found
inoperative or damaged.

DESCRIPTION
NOTE: LHD model shown. RHD model similar.
There is one defroster air outlet (2) located on the top of the instrument panel (1). The airflow from
the defroster outlet is directed by fixed vanes in the outlet and cannot be adjusted. The defroster air
outlet is not serviceable from the instrument panel cover.
There are two side window demister air outlets (4). One located on each end of the instrument
panel top cover. The airflow from the side window demister air outlets is directed by fixed vanes in
the outlets and cannot be adjusted. The side window demister air outlets are not serviceable from
the instrument panel top cover.
There are four rectangular instrument panel air outlets (5). One air outlet is located near each
outboard end of the instrument panel facing the rear of the vehicle and two air outlets are located at
the top of the instrument panel center bezel. Each of the instrument panel air outlets contain
movable vanes that can direct or shut off the flow of the conditioned air leaving each of the
instrument panel outlets. The driver and passenger side air instrument panel air outlets can be
serviced separately. The center outlets are only serviced with the center bezel.
A cooled beverage storage bin, located in the top of the glove box (6) is standard on vehicles
equipped with A/C. Vehicles so equipped have an outlet which, when opened with the A/C on,
allows cooled air to flow into the bin.

Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable resistor type sensor. It is mounted to the lower front
fascia behind the radiator grille and in front of the engine compartment.
The ambient temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if inoperative or damaged, it
must be replaced.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 7222
Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Description and Operation 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 or 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 compass/temperature display unit then displays the proper ambient temperature.

Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Testing and Inspection
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The thermometer function is supported by the ambient temperature sensor, the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM), the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus circuit, and the instrument
cluster or Cab Compartment Node (CCN) compass/temperature display unit.
If the display shows "O" (-45° C (-49° F)) or "SC" (60° C (140° F)), there is an OPEN or SHORT
CIRCUIT that must be repaired.
The ambient temperature sensor circuit can also be diagnosed using the following Sensor Test,
and Sensor Circuit Test. If the temperature sensor and circuit are confirmed to be OK, but the
temperature display is inoperative or incorrect, replace the instrument cluster or CCN assembly.
SENSOR TESTING
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor wire harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance of the ambient temperature sensor. At room temperature (approx. 20° C
(68° F)), the sensor resistance should be
between 9-11 Kilohms (9000-11000 ohms). The sensor resistance should read between these two
values. If OK, refer to the appropriate diagnostic information to continue diagnosis of the Totally
Integrated Power Module (TIPM), the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus circuit, and the
instrument cluster or CCN. If not OK, replace the inoperative ambient temperature sensor.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
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
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7271
- 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.

Blower Motor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The blower motor is used to control the velocity of air moving through the HVAC housing by
spinning the blower wheel within the HVAC air inlet housing at the selected speed.
The blower motor will operate whenever the ignition switch is in the Run position and the blower
motor control is in any position except Off. The blower motor receives battery current through the
totally integrated power module (TIPM) whenever the ignition switch is in the Run position.
Blower motor speed is controlled by regulating the ground path through or around the blower motor
resistor and through the blower motor control located within the A/C-heater control.
The blower motor can be accessed for service from underneath the instrument panel.
NOTE: The blower motor is supplied with a 12V feed from the TIPM, through the blower motor
resistor, 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.
The blower motor and blower motor wheel are factory balanced as an assembly and cannot be
adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if found inoperative or damaged.

Blower Motor Resistor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The blower motor resistor is mounted to the HVAC housing on the passenger side of the vehicle.
The blower motor resistor consists of a molded plastic mounting plate (1) with an integral wire
connector receptacle (2). Concealed behind the mounting plate are resistors (3) located between a
two-piece stamped steel base (4).

Blower Motor Resistor: Description and Operation Operation
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 found
inoperative or damaged.

Condenser HVAC: Description and Operation Description
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 tapping blocks for the A/C discharge line and the A/C liquid
line (2) and an integral automatic transmission cooler (3), when equipped with an automatic
transaxle.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Condenser HVAC > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Description > Page 7329
Condenser HVAC: Description and Operation 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 opened. Failure to replace the rubber O-ring seals and metal gaskets could result
in a refrigerant system leak.
The A/C condenser has no serviceable parts except for the O-ring seals and gaskets. The O-ring
seals used on the connections are made from a special type of rubber not affected by R-134a
refrigerant. The O-ring seals and gaskets must be replaced whenever a refrigerant line is removed
from the A/C condenser.
The A/C condenser cannot be repaired and must be replaced if leaking or damaged.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
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
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Control Assembly, HVAC > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7362
- 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.

Evaporator Core: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: LHD model shown. RHD model similar.
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 are used to connect and seal the A/C evaporator tubes (4) to
the underhood refrigerant lines.
The A/C evaporator can only be serviced by removing and disassembling the HVAC housing
assembly.

Evaporator Core: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Refrigerant enters the A/C evaporator through the A/C orifice tube 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 is opened. 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 a refrigerant line is removed from the A/C evaporator.
The A/C evaporator cannot be repaired and must be replaced if found to be leaking or damaged.

Evaporator Drain Tube: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
Condensation that accumulates within the HVAC housing is drained through a port located at the
bottom of the HVAC housing (1). A rubber condensation drain tube (2) is installed onto the drain
port and protrudes through a rubber grommet (3) in the left side floor panel (4) to ensure that any
condensate completely drains out of the HVAC housing and to the ground.
NOTE: The condensation drain tube must be kept open to prevent water from collecting in the
bottom of the HVAC housing.
The drain tube is designed to keep contaminants from entering the HVAC housing. If the tube is
pinched or blocked, condensate cannot drain, causing water to back up and spill into the
passenger compartment. It is normal to see condensation drainage below the vehicle in warm
weather.
If the condensation drain tube is damaged or missing, it must be replaced.

Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation 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.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 7404
Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation 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.
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 found
inoperative or damaged.

Expansion Block/Orifice Tube: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The A/C orifice tube establishes the pressure differential between the high and low pressure sides
of the A/C system by providing a restriction between the A/C condenser and the A/C evaporator.
The A/C orifice tube in this vehicle is installed in the A/C liquid line and is of a variable orifice valve
(VOV) design.
The variable A/C orifice tube consists of the inlet filter screen (5), the bi-metal coil (4), the fixed port
(3), the variable port (6), metering orifices (1), a nylon mesh diffuser screen (7) and two rubber
O-rings (2) which seal the tube to the inside of the A/C liquid line to prevent refrigerant from
bypassing the metering orifices.

Expansion Block/Orifice Tube: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The variable A/C orifice tube provides improved A/C system cooling during city driving and when
under heavy loads by controlling refrigerant flow through the two parallel flow paths integral to the
orifice tube. Under normal loads, the refrigerant flows through the inlet filter screen, the fixed and
variable ports and both metering orifices. As the load on the A/C system increases, the
temperature of the refrigerant leaving the A/C condenser increases, which causes the bi-metal coil
to expand and restrict the flow of refrigerant through the variable port of the tube. Restricting the
flow of refrigerant through the variable port and its orifice provides a greater pressure differential
between the high and low pressure sides of the A/C system, resulting in colder refrigerant vapor
traveling through the A/C evaporator to help remove the heat from the conditioned air flowing into
the passenger compartment.
The A/C orifice tube is not serviceable and the A/C liquid line must be replaced if the orifice tube is
found inoperative.

Heater Core: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: LHD model shown. RHD model similar.
The heater core (1) for the heating-A/C system is mounted within the HVAC air distribution
housing, which is located behind the instrument panel. The heater core is a heat exchanger made
of rows of tubes with fins and is positioned within the air distribution housing so that only the
selected amount of air entering the housing passes through the heater core before it is distributed
through the heating-A/C system ducts and outlets. One end of the heater core is fitted with a tank
(2) that includes the fittings for the heater core tubes (3).
The heater core can only be serviced by removing the HVAC housing from the vehicle.

Heater Core: Description and Operation 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 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 vents only enough refrigerant to reduce the A/C system pressure,
and then re-seats itself. The majority of the refrigerant is conserved in the A/C system. If the high
pressure relief valve vents refrigerant, it does not mean the valve is inoperative.
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.

High Pressure Safety Valve HVAC: Description and Operation Description
HIGH PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
A high pressure relief valve is located on the compressor cylinder head at the rear of the A/C
compressor. This mechanical valve is designed to vent refrigerant from the A/C system to protect
against damage to the A/C compressor and other A/C system components caused by condenser
air flow restriction or an overcharge of refrigerant.

Precautions > Warning
Hose/Line HVAC: Service Precautions Warning
WARNING
WARNING: The A/C system contains refrigerant under high pressure. Repairs should only be
performed by qualified service personnel. Serious or fatal injury may result from improper service
procedures.
WARNING: Avoid breathing the refrigerant and refrigerant oil vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate
the eyes, nose, and/or throat. Wear eye protection when servicing the A/C refrigerant system.
Serious eye injury can result from direct contact with the refrigerant. If eye contact occurs, seek
medical attention immediately.
WARNING: Do not expose the refrigerant to open flame. Poisonous gas is created when refrigerant
is burned. An electronic leak detector is recommended. Serious or fatal injury may result from
improper service procedures.
WARNING: If accidental A/C system discharge occurs, ventilate the work area before resuming
service. Large amounts of refrigerant released in a closed work area will displace the oxygen and
cause suffocation and serious or fatal injury.
WARNING: The evaporation rate of R-134a refrigerant at average temperature and altitude is
extremely high. As a result, anything that comes in contact with the refrigerant will freeze. Always
protect the skin or delicate objects from direct contact with the refrigerant.
WARNING: The R-134a service equipment or the vehicle refrigerant system should not be
pressure tested or leak tested with compressed air. Some mixtures of air and R-134a have been
shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures are potentially dangerous, and
may result in fire or explosion causing property damage and serious or fatal injury.
WARNING: The engine cooling system is designed to develop internal pressures up to 145
kilopascals (21 pounds per square inch). Do not remove or loosen the coolant pressure cap,
cylinder block drain plugs, radiator drain, radiator hoses, heater hoses, or hose clamps while the
engine cooling system is hot and under pressure. Allow the vehicle to cool for a minimum of 15
minutes before opening the cooling system for service. Failure to observe this warning can result in
serious burns from the heated engine coolant.

Precautions > Warning > Page 7430
Hose/Line HVAC: Service Precautions Caution
CAUTION
CAUTION: Never add R-12 to a refrigerant system designed to use R-134a. Do not use R-12
equipment or parts on an R-134a A/C system. These refrigerants are not compatible and damage
to the A/C system will result.
CAUTION: Never use R-12 refrigerant oil in an A/C system designed to use R-134a refrigerant oil.
These refrigerant oils are not compatible and damage to the A/C system will result.
CAUTION: The use of A/C system sealers may result in damage to A/C refrigerant
recovery/evacuation/recharging equipment and/or A/C system. Many federal, state/provincial and
local regulations prohibit the recharge of A/C systems with known leaks. DaimlerChrysler
recommends the detection of A/C system leaks through the use of approved leak detectors and
fluorescent leak detection dyes. Vehicles found with A/C system sealers should be treated as
contaminated and replacement of the entire A/C refrigerant system is recommended. A/C systems
found to be contaminated with A/C system sealers, A/C stop-leak products or seal conditioners
voids the warranty for the A/C system.
CAUTION: Recover the refrigerant before opening any fitting or connection. Open the fittings with
caution, even after the system has been discharged. Never open or loosen a connection before
recovering the refrigerant.
CAUTION: The internal parts of the A/C system will remain stable as long as moisture-free
refrigerant and refrigerant oil is used. Abnormal amounts of dirt, moisture or air can upset the
chemical stability. This may cause operational troubles or even serious damage if present in more
than very small quantities. Before disconnecting a component, clean the outside of the fittings
thoroughly to prevent contamination from entering the refrigerant system. Keep service tools and
the work area clean. Do not open the refrigerant system or uncap a replacement component until
you are ready to service the system. Immediately after disconnecting a component from the
refrigerant system, seal the open fittings with a cap or plug. This will prevent contamination from
entering the A/C system.
CAUTION: Refrigerant oil will absorb moisture from the atmosphere if left uncapped. Do not open a
container of refrigerant oil until you are ready to use it. Replace the cap on the oil container
immediately after using. Store refrigerant oil only in a clean, airtight, and moisture-free container.
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.
CAUTION: Do not overcharge the refrigerant system. Overcharging will cause excessive
compressor head pressure and can cause compressor noise and A/C system failure.

Hose/Line HVAC: Description and Operation Plumbing
Description
DESCRIPTION
The A/C refrigerant lines and hoses are used to carry the refrigerant between the various A/C
system components. The refrigerant lines and hoses for the R-134a A/C system consist of a
barrier-hose design with a nylon tube sandwiched between rubber layers. The nylon tube helps to
contain the R-134a refrigerant, which has a small molecular structure. The ends of the refrigerant
lines are made from lightweight aluminum and braze-less fittings.
Any kinks or sharp bends in the refrigerant lines and hoses will reduce the capacity of the entire
A/C system and can reduce the flow of refrigerant within the system.
Operation
OPERATION
High pressures are produced in the refrigerant system when the A/C compressor is operating.
Extreme care must be exercised to make sure that each of the refrigerant system connections is
pressure-tight and leak free. It is a good practice to inspect all flexible hose refrigerant lines at least
once a year to make sure they are in good condition and properly routed.
Depending on vehicle, model and market application, refrigerant lines are connected to each other
or other A/C system components with block-type or quick-connect type fittings. To ensure the
integrity of the refrigerant system, flat gaskets and O-rings are used to seal the refrigerant system
connections.
The refrigerant lines and hoses cannot be repaired and must be replaced if leaking or damaged.

Housing Assembly HVAC: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: LHD model shown RHD model similar.
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. The air inlet housing contains the recirculation-air door and actuator when equipped with
A/C.
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 temperature control
cable, which moves the blend-air door. This allows an almost immediate control of the output air
temperature of the system. The mode door cable operates the mode-air doors which direct the flow
of the conditioned air out the various air outlets, depending on the mode selected. When equipped
with A/C, the recirculation door actuator operates the recirculation-air door which closes off the
fresh air intake and recirculates the air already inside the vehicle. The electric recirculation door
actuator and the blower motor are connected to the vehicle electrical system by the instrument
panel wire harness. 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, which is located in the dash panel in the engine compartment.
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.

Refrigerant: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The refrigerant used in this air conditioning system is a Hydro Fluoro Carbon (HFC), type R-134a.
Unlike R-12, which is a Chloro Fluoro Carbon (CFC), R-134a refrigerant does not contain
ozone-depleting chlorine. R-134a refrigerant is a non-toxic, non-flammable, clear, and colorless
liquefied gas.
Even though R-134a does not contain chlorine, it must be reclaimed and recycled just like
CFC-type refrigerants. This is because R-134a is a greenhouse gas and can contribute to global
warming.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Refrigerant > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Description > Page 7506
Refrigerant: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
R-134a refrigerant is not compatible with R-12 refrigerant in an A/C system. Even a small amount
of R-12 refrigerant added to an R-134a refrigerant system will cause A/C compressor failure,
refrigerant oil sludge or poor A/C system performance. In addition, the polyalkylene glycol (PAG)
synthetic refrigerant oils used in an R-134a refrigerant system are not compatible with the
mineral-based refrigerant oils used in an R-12 refrigerant system.
R-134a refrigerant system service ports, service tool couplers and refrigerant dispensing bottles
have all been designed with unique fittings to ensure that an R-134a refrigerant system is not
accidentally contaminated with the wrong refrigerant (R-12). There are also labels posted in the
engine compartment of the vehicle and on the A/C compressor to identify that the A/C system is
equipped with R-134a refrigerant.

Refrigerant: Testing and Inspection
REFRIGERANT SYSTEM LEAKS
WARNING: R-134a service equipment or vehicle A/C system should not be pressure tested or leak
tested with compressed air. Mixture of air and R-134a can be combustible at elevated pressures.
These mixtures are potentially dangerous and may result in fire or explosion causing property
damage, personal injury or death.
Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Use only approved service equipment meeting SAE requirements to discharge an R-134a
system. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service.
NOTE: If the A/C refrigerant system charge is empty or low, a leak in the A/C system is likely.
Visually inspect all A/C lines, fittings and components for an oily residue. Oil residue can be an
indicator of an A/C system leak location.
NOTE: The only way to correctly determine if the refrigerant system is fully charged with R-134a is
to completely evacuate and recharge the A/C system.
Connect a suitable manifold gauge set and determine if the static A/C system pressure is above or
below 345 kPa (50 psi). If less than 345 kPa (50 psi) , proceed to SYSTEM EMPTY. If greater than
345 kPa (50 psi), go to SYSTEM LOW.
SYSTEM EMPTY
1. Evacuate the refrigerant system to the lowest degree of vacuum possible (approximately -88 kPa
(-26 in. Hg) or greater vacuum). Determine if
the system holds a vacuum for 15 minutes. If vacuum is held, a leak is probably not present. If
system will not maintain vacuum level, proceed to STEP 2.
2. Prepare and dispense 0.284 kilograms (10 ounces) of R-134a refrigerant into the evacuated
refrigerant system and proceed to STEP 1 of the
System Low procedure.
SYSTEM LOW
3. Position the vehicle in a wind-free work area. This will aid in detecting small leaks.
4. Operate the heating-A/C system with the engine at idle under the following conditions for at least
5 minutes.
- Doors or windows open
- Transaxle in Park or Neutral with the parking brake set (depending on application)
- A/C-heater controls set to outside air, full cool, panel mode, high blower and with A/C compressor
engaged
CAUTION: A leak detector only designed for R-12 refrigerant will not detect leaks in an R-134a
refrigerant system.
5. Shut the vehicle Off and wait 2-7 minutes. Then use an electronic leak detector that is designed
to detect R-134a refrigerant and search for leaks.
Fittings, lines or components that appear to be oily usually indicate a refrigerant leak. To inspect
the A/C evaporator for leaks, insert the leak detector probe into the drain tube opening or an air
outlet. A dye for R-134a is available to aid in leak detection. Use only DaimlerChrysler approved
refrigerant dye.

REFRIGERANT SYSTEM RECOVERY
WARNING: Refer to the applicable warnings and cautions for this system before performing the
following operation. Failure to follow the warnings and cautions may result in serious or fatal injury.
An R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging station (1) that meets SAE standard J2210 must
be used to recover the refrigerant from the R-134a refrigerant system. Refer to the operating
instructions supplied by the equipment manufacturer for the 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.
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. 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.

MANIFOLD GAUGE SET CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: Do not use an R-12 manifold gauge set on an R-134a system. The refrigerants are not
compatible and system damage will result.
- LOW PRESSURE GAUGE HOSE - The low pressure hose (Blue with Black stripe) attaches to
the low side service port. This port is located on the A/C liquid line near the right front strut tower.
- HIGH PRESSURE GAUGE HOSE - The high pressure hose (Red with Black stripe) attaches to
the high side service port. This port is located on the A/C discharge line near the A/C condenser.
- RECOVERY/RECYCLING/EVACUATION/CHARGING HOSE - The center manifold hose (Yellow,
or White, with Black stripe) is used to recover, evacuate, and charge the refrigerant system. When
the low or high pressure valves on the manifold gauge set are opened, the refrigerant in the system
will escape through this hose.

Refrigerant Oil: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The refrigerant oil used in R-134a refrigerant systems is a synthetic-based, polyalkylene glycol
(PAG), wax-free lubricant. Mineral-based R-12 refrigerant oils are not compatible with PAG oils and
should never be introduced to an R-134a refrigerant system.
There are different PAG oils available and each 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.
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 Denso 5SE12C A/C compressor used in this vehicle is designed to use ND-8 PAG refrigerant
oil. Use only this type of refrigerant oil in the refrigerant system.

Refrigerant Oil: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
After performing any refrigerant recovery or recycling operation, always replenish the refrigerant
system with the same amount of the recommended refrigerant oil as was removed. Too little
refrigerant oil can cause A/C compressor damage, and too much can reduce A/C system
performance.
PAG refrigerant oil is more hygroscopic than mineral oil, and will absorb any moisture it comes into
contact with, even moisture in the air. The PAG oil container should always be kept tightly capped
until it is ready to be used. After use, recap the oil container immediately to prevent moisture
contamination.

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 accumulator, 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: ND-8 PAG refrigerant oil is used in the Denso 5SE12C A/C compressor. 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.
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 accumulator, A/C evaporator or A/C condenser is
replaced. Refer to the Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart.
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.
COMPRESSOR OIL DRAIN PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Be certain to adjust the refrigerant system oil level when replacing an A/C compressor.
The refrigerant oil in the Denso 5SE12C 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.
NOTE: When replacing multiple A/C system components, refer to the Refrigerant Oil Capacities
chart to determine how much oil should be removed from the new A/C compressor (example: new
compressor and accumulator requires 80 ml. (2.7 oz.) of oil to be added to the system. 120 ml. (4.1
oz.) of oil is in new compressor. 120 ml. (4.1 oz.) minus 80 ml. (2.7 oz.) equals 40 ml. (1.4 oz.) oil
to be drained from new compressor).
The Denso 5SE12C A/C compressor is filled with 120 milliliters (4.1 oz.) from the factory. When
only the A/C compressor is being replaced, 70 milliliters (2.4 oz.) of refrigerant oil must first be
drained from the new compressor prior to installation. Use the following procedure to drain and
measure refrigerant oil from the Denso 5SE12C A/C compressor.

1. Place the new A/C compressor (1) on a workbench,
2. Position the A/C compressor so that the refrigerant oil can drain out of the suction port (2) into a
suitable clean measured container. Hold the A/C
compressor in this position until no more oil comes out of the compressor port.
3. Reposition the A/C compressor (1) so that the pulley (2) is facing upward and slowly rotate the
compressor pulley clockwise one full turn.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 at least seven times or until 70 milliliters (2.4 oz.) of refrigerant oil is
drained from the new A/C compressor.
CAUTION: Failure to properly adjust the refrigerant oil level prior to installation of a new
compressor can prevent the A/C system from operating as designed and cause serious
compressor damage.
5. Install the new A/C compressor onto the engine.

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

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation 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. The
PCM/ECM is programmed to respond to this and other sensor inputs by controlling the operation of
the swashplate 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
swashplate to nearly a zero degree angle (low compressor displacement) when high side pressure
rises above 3130 kPa (454 psi) and re-adjusts the swashplate 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 swashplate angle if the high side pressure drops below 200
kPa (29 psi) and will increase the swashplate 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.
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.
The A/C pressure transducer cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if found
inoperative or damaged.

Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable resistor type sensor. It is mounted to the lower front
fascia behind the radiator grille and in front of the engine compartment.
The ambient temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if inoperative or damaged, it
must be replaced.

Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Description and Operation 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 or 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 compass/temperature display unit then displays the proper ambient temperature.

Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Testing and Inspection
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The thermometer function is supported by the ambient temperature sensor, the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM), the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus circuit, and the instrument
cluster or Cab Compartment Node (CCN) compass/temperature display unit.
If the display shows "O" (-45° C (-49° F)) or "SC" (60° C (140° F)), there is an OPEN or SHORT
CIRCUIT that must be repaired.
The ambient temperature sensor circuit can also be diagnosed using the following Sensor Test,
and Sensor Circuit Test. If the temperature sensor and circuit are confirmed to be OK, but the
temperature display is inoperative or incorrect, replace the instrument cluster or CCN assembly.
SENSOR TESTING
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor wire harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance of the ambient temperature sensor. At room temperature (approx. 20° C
(68° F)), the sensor resistance should be
between 9-11 Kilohms (9000-11000 ohms). The sensor resistance should read between these two
values. If OK, refer to the appropriate diagnostic information to continue diagnosis of the Totally
Integrated Power Module (TIPM), the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus circuit, and the
instrument cluster or CCN. If not OK, replace the inoperative ambient temperature sensor.

Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation 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 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.
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 found
inoperative or damaged.

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

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation 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. The
PCM/ECM is programmed to respond to this and other sensor inputs by controlling the operation of
the swashplate 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
swashplate to nearly a zero degree angle (low compressor displacement) when high side pressure
rises above 3130 kPa (454 psi) and re-adjusts the swashplate 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 swashplate angle if the high side pressure drops below 200
kPa (29 psi) and will increase the swashplate 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.
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.
The A/C pressure transducer cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if found
inoperative or damaged.

Air Bag: Description and Operation Curtain Airbag
Description
DESCRIPTION
Curtain airbags are available when also equipped with dual front airbags. These airbags are
passive, inflatable, Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components, and can be readily
identified by a molded identification trim button with the "SRS - AIRBAG" logo located near the top
of each upper B-pillar trim panel. This system is designed to reduce injuries to the vehicle
occupants in the event of a side impact collision.
Curtain airbags have two individually controlled curtain airbags. These airbags are concealed and
mounted above the headliner where they are each secured to one of the roof side rails. Each
folded airbag cushion extends along the roof rail from the A-pillar at the front of the vehicle to the
D-pillar at the rear of the vehicle. The airbag cushion is initially secured during installation with
plastic push-in fasteners to the roof rail, and then with bolts to securely fasten it to the roof side rail.
A long tether (2) extends down the A-pillar from the front of the airbag cushion. A short tether (4) is
secured near the top of the D-pillar.
The hybrid-type inflator (1) for each airbag is secured to the roof rail at the rear of airbag, back by
the C and D-pillars. The entire assembly is secured to the inside of the roof rail with screws.
An airbag squib harness connector is routed up to the rear of the airbag inflator (1). The body
harness then connects the curtain airbag to the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC).
The curtain airbag cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if deployed, faulty, or in
any way damaged. Once a curtain airbag has been deployed, the complete airbag, the headliner,
the upper A, B, C and D-pillar trim, and all other visibly damaged components must be replaced.

Operation > Curtain Airbag > Page 7701
Operation
OPERATION
Each curtain airbag is deployed individually by an electrical signal generated by the Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) to which it is connected through squib circuits. The hybrid-type inflator
assembly for each airbag contains a small canister of highly compressed inert gas. When the ORC
sends the proper electrical signal to the airbag inflator, the electrical energy creates enough heat to
ignite chemical pellets within the inflator.
Once ignited, these chemicals burn rapidly and produce the pressure necessary to rupture a
containment disk in the inert gas canister. The inflator and inert gas canister are sealed and
connected to a tubular manifold so that all of the released gas is directed into the folded curtain
airbag cushion, causing the cushion to inflate. As the airbag cushion inflates it will drop down from
the roof rail between the edge of the headliner and the side glass/body pillars to form a curtain-like
cushion to protect the vehicle occupants during a side impact collision.
The front and rear tethers keep the airbag cushion taut to the side of the vehicle, thus ensuring that
the bag will deploy in the proper position. Following the airbag deployment, the airbag cushion
quickly deflates by venting the inert gas through the loose weave of the cushion fabric, and the
deflated cushion hangs down loosely from the roof rail.

Air Bag: Description and Operation Driver Airbag
Description
DESCRIPTION
The driver airbag protective trim cover (1) is the most visible part of the driver airbag system.
The driver airbag trim cover is held in place by a latch and hook system (1). The driver airbag is
mounted directly to the steering wheel by two bolts on either side of the airbag (3). Located under
the airbag cover are the folded airbag cushion, the igniter and two squib connectors (2), the inflator,
and the airbag cushion supporting components. The driver airbag is a multistage-type that is
designed to deploy with less force than those used in some prior models. A radial deploying fabric
airbag cushion with internal tethers is used. The airbag inflator is a dual-initiator, non-azide,
pyrotechnic-type unit. Two keyed and color-coded connector receptacles on the driver airbag
inflator connect the two inflator initiators to the vehicle electrical system through two
yellow-jacketed, two-wire pigtail harnesses of the clockspring.
The driver airbag cannot be repaired, and must be replaced if deployed or in any way damaged.
The driver airbag trim cover may be disassembled from the driver airbag unit, and is available for
individual service replacement.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Air Bag Systems > Air Bag > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Curtain Airbag > Page 7703
The multistage driver airbag is deployed by electrical signals generated by the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) through the driver airbag squib 1 and squib 2 circuits to the two initiators in the
airbag inflator. By using two initiators, the airbag can be deployed at multiple levels of force. The
force level is controlled by the ORC to suit the monitored impact conditions by providing one of four
delay intervals between the electrical signals provided to the two initiators. The longer the delay
between these signals, the less forcefully the airbag will deploy.
When the ORC sends the proper electrical signals to each initiator, the electrical energy generates
enough heat to initiate a small pyrotechnic charge which, in turn ignites chemical pellets within the
inflator. Once ignited, these chemical pellets burn rapidly and produce a large quantity of inert gas.
The inflator is sealed to the back of the airbag housing and a diffuser in the inflator directs all of the
inert gas into the airbag cushion, causing the cushion to inflate. As the cushion inflates, the driver
airbag trim cover will split at predetermined breakout lines, then fold back out of the way along with
the horn switch and tray unit. Following an airbag deployment, the airbag cushion quickly deflates
by venting the inert gas towards the instrument panel through vent holes within the fabric used to
construct the back (steering wheel side) panel of the airbag cushion.
Some of the chemicals used to create the inert gas may be considered hazardous while in their
solid state before they are burned, but they are securely sealed within the airbag inflator. Typically,
both initiators are used and all potentially hazardous chemicals are burned during an airbag
deployment event.
The inert gas that is produced when the chemicals are burned is harmless. However, a small
amount of residue from the burned chemicals may cause some temporary discomfort if it contacts
the skin, eyes, or breathing passages. If skin or eye irritation is noted, rinse the affected area with
plenty of cool, clean water. If breathing passages are irritated, move to another area where there is
plenty of clean, fresh air to breath. If the irritation is not alleviated by these actions, contact a
physician.

Air Bag: Description and Operation Airbag-Knee Blocker
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Knee Blocker Airbag is located on the driver side of the vehicle below the steering column, at
the bottom edge of the instrument panel. The knee blocker airbag contains:
- A stamped steel housing (4) with retaining hooks (1) for the knee blocker airbag trim cover to
attach to.
- An airbag cushion (2)
- An igniter (3)
WARNING: Following a knee blocker airbag deployment, the knee blocker airbag and instrument
panel assembly must be replaced. Refer to the proper diagnostic information for diagnosis and
testing.
Operation
OPERATION
The knee blocker airbag is equipped with a single inflator. When the Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) sends the proper electrical signals to the initiator, the electrical energy generates enough
heat to initiate a small pyrotechnic charge which, in turn ignites chemical pellets within the inflator.
Once ignited, these chemical pellets burn rapidly and produce a large quantity of inert gas. The
inflator is sealed to the back of the airbag housing and a diffuser in the inflator directs all of the inert
gas into the airbag cushion, causing the cushion to inflate. As the cushion inflates, the knee blocker
airbag trim deploy. Following an airbag deployment, the airbag cushion quickly deflates by venting
the inert gas towards the instrument panel through vent holes within the fabric used to construct the
back panel of the airbag cushion.
Some of the chemicals used to create the inert gas may be considered hazardous while in their
solid state before they are burned, but they are securely sealed within the airbag inflator. Typically,
the potentially hazardous chemicals are burned during an airbag deployment event.
WARNING: The inert gas that is produced when the chemicals are burned is harmless. However, a
small amount of residue from the burned chemicals may cause some temporary discomfort if it
contacts the skin, eyes, or breathing passages. If skin or eye irritation is noted, rinse the affected
area with plenty of cool, clean water. If breathing passages are irritated, move to another area
where there is plenty of clean, fresh air to breath. If the irritation is not alleviated by these actions,
contact a physician.

Air Bag: Description and Operation Passenger Airbag
Description
DESCRIPTION
The horizontal surface of the instrument panel top panel (2) above the glove box (3) is the most
visible part of the Passenger Airbag (PAB). The PAB door/cover is available for separate service
replacement.
The PAB includes an aluminum housing (2) within which the cushion (1) and inflator (3) are
mounted and sealed. A stamped metal bracket mounts the PAB to the instrument panel. It is
mounted directly to the instrument panel reinforcement.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Air Bag Systems > Air Bag > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Curtain Airbag > Page 7706
The bottom of the PAB houses the inflater (2). It is attached to the PAB by four nuts (1) and
contains the two squib connectors (3) which connect the PAB to the vehicle electrical system
through the instrument panel wire harness.
Following a PAB deployment, the PAB and the PAB cover must be replaced. The PAB cannot be
repaired, and must be replaced if deployed or in any way damaged.
Operation
OPERATION
The multistage Passenger Airbag (PAB) is deployed by electrical signals generated by the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) through the PAB squib 1 and squib 2 circuits to the two
initiators in the airbag inflator. By using two initiators, the airbag can be deployed at multiple levels
of force. The force level is controlled by the ORC to suit the monitored impact conditions by
providing one of four delay intervals between the electrical signals provided to the two initiators.
The longer the delay between these signals, the less forcefully the airbag will deploy.
When the ORC sends the proper electrical signals to each initiator, the electrical energy generates
enough heat to initiate a small pyrotechnic charge which, in turn ignites chemical pellets within the
inflator. Once ignited, these chemical pellets burn rapidly and produce a large quantity of inert gas.
The inflator is sealed to the airbag cushion and a diffuser in the inflator directs all of the inert gas
into the airbag cushion, causing the cushion to inflate. As the cushion inflates, the PAB cover will
split at predetermined tear seam lines concealed on the underside of the PAB cover, then the door
will pivot up over the top of the instrument panel and out of the way. Following an airbag
deployment, the airbag cushion quickly deflates by venting the inert gas through vent holes within
the fabric used to construct the back (windshield side) of the airbag cushion.
Proper diagnosis of the PAB inflator and squib circuits requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Air Bag: Description and Operation Seat Airbag
Description
DESCRIPTION
The seat airbags are completely concealed beneath the seat back trim cover on the upper
outboard sides of both front seat backs. These airbags are inserted into a sewn pouch on the
inside of the trim cover, then secured to the seat back frame by nuts on two studs (3). One stud is
located on the stamped metal airbag housing (2), while the second stud is located on the stamped
metal airbag lower bracket (4).
The folded seat airbag cushions are contained within a molded plastic inner airbag cushion cover
(1). The airbag housing contains the airbag inflator and a heat shield. The inner cover completely
encloses the airbag cushion and is permanently retained to the housing. The airbag cushion is
constructed of a coated nylon fabric.
The airbag inflator is a single-initiator, pyrotechnic-type unit that is secured to and sealed within the
airbag housing. The seat airbag is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
take out of the seat wire harness with a connector insulator that connects directly to the inflator
initiator. The connector insulators are uniquely keyed and color-coded to ensure they can only be
connected to the initiator.
The seat airbag cannot be repaired, and must be replaced if deployed, ineffective, or in any way
damaged. If the seat airbag is deployed, the seat back frame, the seat back foam, the seat back
trim cover and the seat wire harness must also be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
Each seat airbag is deployed individually by an electrical signal generated by the Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) to which it is connected through left or right seat airbag line 1 and line 2
(or squib) circuits. The hybrid-type inflator assembly for each airbag contains a small canister of
highly compressed inert gas. When the ORC sends the proper electrical signal to the airbag
inflator, the electrical energy creates enough heat to ignite chemical pellets within the inflator.
Once ignited, these chemicals burn rapidly and produce the pressure necessary to rupture a
containment disk in the inert gas canister. The inflator and inert gas canister are sealed and
connected so that all of the released gas is directed into the folded seat airbag cushion, causing
the cushion to inflate. As the airbag cushion inflates it will split the inner cover and the outboard
side of the seat back trim cover and expand into the area between the outboard side of the front
seat and the front door to form a cushion to protect the front seat occupant during a side impact
collision or a vehicle rollover incident.
Following the airbag deployment, the airbag cushion slowly deflates by venting the inert gas
through the loose weave of the cushion fabric, and the deflated cushion hangs down loosely from
the outboard side of the front seat back.
Proper diagnosis of the seat airbag inflator and squib circuits requires the use of a diagnostic scan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) (4) is sometimes referred to as the Airbag Control
Module (ACM). The ORC is mounted on the tunnel floor pan in front of the transmission floor
shifter.
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) is secured with three nuts to a stamped steel mounting
bracket welded onto the top of the floor panel transmission tunnel beneath the instrument panel
floor console. Concealed within a hollow in the center of the die cast aluminum ORC housing is the
electronic circuitry of the ORC which includes a microprocessor, an electronic impact sensor, an
electronic safing sensor, and an energy storage capacitor. A stamped metal cover plate is secured
to the bottom of the ORC housing with four screws to enclose and protect the internal electronic
circuitry and components.
An arrow printed on the label on the top of the ORC housing provides a visual verification of the
proper orientation of the unit, and should always be pointed toward the front of the vehicle. The
ORC housing has integral mounting flanges on three of the four corners. Two electrical connectors
exit the rearward facing side of the ORC housing. These connect the ORC to the vehicle electrical
system, one from the instrument panel wire harness and the second from the body wire harness.
The impact sensor and safing sensor internal to the ORC are calibrated for the specific vehicle, and
are only serviced as a unit with the ORC. In addition, there are unique versions of the ORC for
vehicles with or without the optional side airbags. The ORC cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if
damaged or ineffective, it must be replaced.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), sometimes referred to as the
Airbag Control Module (ACM), contains the supplemental restraint system logic circuits and
controls all of the supplemental restraint system 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 Electromechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN), and for supplemental
restraint system 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 supplemental restraint system 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/CCN over the CAN data bus to turn ON the airbag indicator. An active fault only remains for
the duration of the fault, or in some cases for the duration of the current ignition switch cycle, while
a stored fault causes a DTC to be stored in memory by the ORC. For some DTC's, 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.
On vehicles equipped with the Occupant Classification System (OCS), the ORC communicates
with the Occupant Classification Module (OCM) over the CAN data bus. The ORC will internally
disable the passenger airbag and seat belt tensioner deployment circuits if the OCM detects that
the passenger front seat is unoccupied or that it is occupied by a load that is inappropriate for an
airbag deployment. The ORC also provides a control output to the passenger airbag ON/OFF
indicator through the passenger airbag indicator driver circuit. The OCM notifies the ORC when it
has detected a monitored system fault and stored a DTC in its memory for any ineffective OCS
component or circuit, then the ORC sets a DTC and controls the airbag indicator operation
accordingly.
The ORC receives battery current through two circuits; an ignition switch output (run) circuit and an
ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. The ORC receives ground through a ground circuit of the
instrument panel wire harness. 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 supplemental restraint components for up to one second following a battery disconnect or
failure. The purpose of the capacitor is to provide backup supplemental restraint system protection
in case there is a loss of battery current supply to the ORC during an impact.
Two sensors are contained within the ORC, an electronic impact sensor and a safing sensor. The
ORC also monitors inputs from two remote front impact sensors located on the back of the right
and left vertical members of the radiator support near the front of the vehicle. The electronic impact
sensors are accelerometers that sense the rate of vehicle deceleration, which provides verification
of the direction and severity of an impact. On vehicles equipped with optional side airbags, the
ORC also monitors inputs from an internal rollover sensor and four additional remote impact
sensors located on the left and right inner B-pillars and C-pillars to control deployment of the side
airbag units.
The safing sensor is an electronic accelerometer sensor within the ORC that provides an additional
logic input to the ORC microprocessor. The safing sensor is used to verify the need for a
supplemental restraint deployment by detecting impact energy of a lesser magnitude than that of
the primary electronic impact sensors, and must exceed a safing threshold in order for the airbags
to deploy. Vehicles equipped with optional side airbags, feature a second safing sensor within the
ORC to provide confirmation to the ORC microprocessor of side impact forces. This second safing
sensor is a bi-directional unit that detects impact forces from either side of the vehicle.
Pre-programmed decision algorithms in the ORC microprocessor determine when the deceleration
rate as signaled by the impact sensors and the safing sensors indicate an impact that is severe
enough to require supplemental restraint system protection and, based upon the severity of the
monitored impact, determines the level of front airbag deployment force required for each front
seating position. When the programmed conditions are met, the ORC sends the proper electrical
signals to deploy the dual multistage front airbags at the programmed force levels, the front seat
belt tensioners and, if the vehicle is so equipped, either side airbag unit. For vehicles equipped with
the OCS, the passenger front airbag and seat belt tensioner will be deployed by the ORC only if
enabled by the OCM messages (passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator OFF) at the time of the
impact.
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 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 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.
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 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, and the remote
radio 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 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. Proper clockspring installation may be
confirmed by viewing the SAS data using a diagnostic scan tool.
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 Assembly / Spiral Cable: Adjustments
CLOCKSPRING CENTERING
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the
supplemental restraint system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag,
occupant classification system, 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 supplemental restraint system. 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.
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 ESP system to shut down. This may also damage the clockspring
without any immediate malfunction. Unlike some other DaimlerChrysler vehicles, this SAS never
requires calibration.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 Front
Description
FRONT
Two front impact sensors (1) are used on this vehicle, one each for the left and right sides of the
vehicle. These sensors are mounted remotely from the impact sensor that is internal to the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). Each front sensor is secured with a screw to the backs of the
right and left vertical members of the radiator support within the engine compartment.
The right and left front impact sensors are identical in construction and calibration. A cavity in the
center of the molded black plastic impact sensor housing contains the electronic circuitry of the
sensor which includes an electronic communication chip and an electronic impact sensor. Potting
material that fills the cavity to seal and protect the internal electronic circuitry and components. The
front impact sensors are each connected to the vehicle electrical system through the headlamp and
dash wire harness.
The impact sensors cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if damaged or ineffective, they must be
replaced.
Operation
FRONT
The front impact sensors are electronic accelerometers that sense the rate of vehicle deceleration,
which provides verification of the direction and severity of an impact. Each sensor also contains an
electronic communication chip that allows the unit to communicate the sensor status as well as
sensor fault information to the microprocessor in the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC).
The ORC microprocessor continuously monitors all of the passive restraint system electrical
circuits to determine the system readiness. If the ORC detects a monitored system fault, it sets a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and controls the airbag indicator operation accordingly. The impact
sensors each receive battery current and ground through dedicated left and right sensor plus and
minus circuits from the ORC. The impact sensors and the ORC communicate by modulating the
voltage in the sensor plus circuit.
To diagnose the impact sensors or the electronic controls and communication related to front
impact sensor operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation Side
Description
SIDE
Four side impact sensors (1) are used on this vehicle when it is equipped with the optional side
airbags, two each for the left and right sides of the vehicle. These sensors are mounted remotely
from the impact sensor that is internal to the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). Each side
sensor is secured with a screw to the right or left B-pillar and C-pillar.
The right and left side impact sensors are identical in construction and calibration. A cavity in the
center of the molded black plastic impact sensor housing contains the electronic circuitry of the
sensor which includes an electronic communication chip and an electronic impact sensor. Potting
material fills the cavity to seal and protect the internal electronic circuitry and components. The side
impact sensors are each connected to the vehicle electrical system through the body wire harness.
The impact sensors cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if damaged or ineffective, they must be
replaced.
Operation
SIDE
The side 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 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
sensors each receive battery current and ground through the same left or right sensor plus and
minus circuits in a series arrangement from the ORC. The impact sensors and the ORC
communicate by modulating the voltage in the sensor plus circuit.
To diagnose the impact sensors or the electronic controls and communication related to side
impact sensor operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

Seat Occupant Classification Module - Air Bag: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Occupant Classification Module (OCM) (1) is secured to the passenger side outboard front
seat track riser. Concealed within a hollow in the center of the molded plastic OCM housing is a
microprocessor and the other electronic circuitry of the module. The module housing is sealed to
enclose and protect the internal electronic circuitry.
The OCM and all of the other components of the Occupant Classification System (OCS) including
the passenger side front seat, the seat weight sensors, the passenger or driver seat track position
sensor and the seat adjusters, cushion, back, frame, foam, springs, and wiring harness are a
factory-calibrated and assembled unit. Any time any one of these components is removed or
replaced for any reason, the OCM must be re-calibrated using a diagnostic scan tool, the Occupant
Classification Seat Weight special tool 9077, and the Occupant Classification System Verification
Test. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic procedures.
The OCM cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if damaged or faulty, it must be replaced. The OCM
software is flash programmable. A non-calibrated OCM is available for separate service
replacement.

Seat Occupant Classification Module - Air Bag: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Occupant Classification Module (OCM) contains the Occupant
Classification System (OCS) logic circuits. The OCM uses On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can
communicate with other electronic modules in the vehicle as well as with the diagnostic scan tool
using the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. This method of communication is also used for
OCS diagnosis and testing through the 16-way Data Link Connector (DLC) located on the driver
side lower edge of the instrument panel.
The OCM provides voltage to the four seat weight sensors located on each of the four corners of
the passenger side front seat, and to the seat track position sensors located on the passenger and
driver front seat tracks. The OCM then monitors return inputs from each of the sensors on
dedicated hard wired data communication circuits. The seat weight sensor input allows the OCM to
determine whether the passenger front seat is occupied and the relative size of the occupant by
providing a weight-sensing reference to the load on the seat. The seat track position sensor
provides an additional logic input to the OCM microprocessor that allows it to determine the
position of the front seat passenger and driver relative to the front airbags.
Pre-programmed decision algorithms and OCS calibration allow the OCM microprocessor to
determine when passenger airbag protection is appropriate based upon the seat load as signaled
by the seat weight sensors. When the programmed conditions are met, the OCM sends the proper
electronic occupant classification messages over the CAN data bus to the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC), and the ORC enables or disables the deployment circuits for the passenger front
supplemental restraints. On vehicles so equipped, the ORC also provides a control output for the
passenger airbag on/off indicator in the instrument panel based upon the electronic occupant
classification messages it receives from the OCM.
The OCM also sends electronic driver and passenger seat track position messages to the ORC
over the CAN data bus. The ORC uses the seat track position data as an additional logic input for
determining the force level with which to deploy the multistage front airbags.
The OCM microprocessor continuously monitors all of the OCS electrical circuits and components
to determine the system readiness. If the OCM detects a monitored system fault, it sets an active
and stored Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and sends the appropriate electronic messages to the
ORC over the CAN data bus. Then the ORC sets a DTC and sends messages to control the airbag
indicator operation accordingly. An active fault only remains for the duration of the fault, or in some
cases for the duration of the current ignition switch cycle, while a stored fault causes a DTC to be
stored in memory by the OCM and the ORC. For some DTC's, if a fault does not recur for a
number of ignition cycles, the OCM will automatically erase the stored DTC. For other internal
faults, the stored DTC is latched forever.
The OCM receives battery current on a fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit through a fuse
in the Junction Block (JB). The OCM receives ground through a ground circuit of the body wire
harness. These connections allow the OCM to be operational whenever the ignition switch is in the
Start or On positions.
To diagnose the OCM and all its inputs, outputs and related circuits, use a diagnostic scan tool and
the appropriate diagnostic information.

Seat Occupant Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The seat weight sensors are strain gauge-type units. The electronic elements of the sensor are
encased within the sensor body (4). Four sensors are used in the Occupant Classification System
(OCS). The sensors are located below the seat cushion between the seat adjuster track and the
seat adjuster riser at each corner of the passenger side front seat.
A threaded mounting stud (2) on each sensor body is secured by a nut to the seat adjuster riser,
and two nuts secure each sensor mounting flange (1) to two studs integral to the front and rear of
the inboard and outboard passenger side lower seat adjuster tracks. A molded connector
receptacle (3) integral to each sensor body is oriented towards the center of the seat and is
connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated connector and take out of the
passenger seat wire harness beneath the seat cushion.
The seat weight sensors cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the entire
sensor must be replaced.

Seat Occupant Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The seat weight sensor units are designed to sense the relative weight of a load applied to the
passenger side front seat, which provides a logic input to the microprocessor of the Occupant
Classification Module (OCM). When any load is applied to the seat the load is transmitted through
the sensor mounting flange to the sensor body (strain gauge) of each sensor, causing a change of
electrical resistance through the strain gauge. These changes in resistance within the internal
sensor circuitry change the sensor output voltage.
Each weight sensor receives a nominal five volts and a clean ground through parallel hard wired
circuits from the OCM. The OCM then monitors the output voltage of each sensor on dedicated
hard wired data communication circuits. The hard wired circuits between the sensors and the OCM
may be diagnosed and tested using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. However, the
most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the seat weight sensor inputs to the OCM,
and the electronic message communication between the OCM and the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) (4) is sometimes referred to as the Airbag Control
Module (ACM). The ORC is mounted on the tunnel floor pan in front of the transmission floor
shifter.
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) is secured with three nuts to a stamped steel mounting
bracket welded onto the top of the floor panel transmission tunnel beneath the instrument panel
floor console. Concealed within a hollow in the center of the die cast aluminum ORC housing is the
electronic circuitry of the ORC which includes a microprocessor, an electronic impact sensor, an
electronic safing sensor, and an energy storage capacitor. A stamped metal cover plate is secured
to the bottom of the ORC housing with four screws to enclose and protect the internal electronic
circuitry and components.
An arrow printed on the label on the top of the ORC housing provides a visual verification of the
proper orientation of the unit, and should always be pointed toward the front of the vehicle. The
ORC housing has integral mounting flanges on three of the four corners. Two electrical connectors
exit the rearward facing side of the ORC housing. These connect the ORC to the vehicle electrical
system, one from the instrument panel wire harness and the second from the body wire harness.
The impact sensor and safing sensor internal to the ORC are calibrated for the specific vehicle, and
are only serviced as a unit with the ORC. In addition, there are unique versions of the ORC for
vehicles with or without the optional side airbags. The ORC cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if
damaged or ineffective, it must be replaced.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), sometimes referred to as the
Airbag Control Module (ACM), contains the supplemental restraint system logic circuits and
controls all of the supplemental restraint system 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 Electromechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN), and for supplemental
restraint system 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 supplemental restraint system 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/CCN over the CAN data bus to turn ON the airbag indicator. An active fault only remains for
the duration of the fault, or in some cases for the duration of the current ignition switch cycle, while
a stored fault causes a DTC to be stored in memory by the ORC. For some DTC's, 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.
On vehicles equipped with the Occupant Classification System (OCS), the ORC communicates
with the Occupant Classification Module (OCM) over the CAN data bus. The ORC will internally
disable the passenger airbag and seat belt tensioner deployment circuits if the OCM detects that
the passenger front seat is unoccupied or that it is occupied by a load that is inappropriate for an
airbag deployment. The ORC also provides a control output to the passenger airbag ON/OFF
indicator through the passenger airbag indicator driver circuit. The OCM notifies the ORC when it
has detected a monitored system fault and stored a DTC in its memory for any ineffective OCS
component or circuit, then the ORC sets a DTC and controls the airbag indicator operation
accordingly.
The ORC receives battery current through two circuits; an ignition switch output (run) circuit and an
ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. The ORC receives ground through a ground circuit of the
instrument panel wire harness. 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 supplemental restraint components for up to one second following a battery disconnect or
failure. The purpose of the capacitor is to provide backup supplemental restraint system protection
in case there is a loss of battery current supply to the ORC during an impact.
Two sensors are contained within the ORC, an electronic impact sensor and a safing sensor. The
ORC also monitors inputs from two remote front impact sensors located on the back of the right
and left vertical members of the radiator support near the front of the vehicle. The electronic impact
sensors are accelerometers that sense the rate of vehicle deceleration, which provides verification
of the direction and severity of an impact. On vehicles equipped with optional side airbags, the
ORC also monitors inputs from an internal rollover sensor and four additional remote impact
sensors located on the left and right inner B-pillars and C-pillars to control deployment of the side
airbag units.
The safing sensor is an electronic accelerometer sensor within the ORC that provides an additional
logic input to the ORC microprocessor. The safing sensor is used to verify the need for a
supplemental restraint deployment by detecting impact energy of a lesser magnitude than that of
the primary electronic impact sensors, and must exceed a safing threshold in order for the airbags
to deploy. Vehicles equipped with optional side airbags, feature a second safing sensor within the
ORC to provide confirmation to the ORC microprocessor of side impact forces. This second safing
sensor is a bi-directional unit that detects impact forces from either side of the vehicle.
Pre-programmed decision algorithms in the ORC microprocessor determine when the deceleration
rate as signaled by the impact sensors and the safing sensors indicate an impact that is severe
enough to require supplemental restraint system protection and, based upon the severity of the
monitored impact, determines the level of front airbag deployment force required for each front
seating position. When the programmed conditions are met, the ORC sends the proper electrical
signals to deploy the dual multistage front airbags at the programmed force levels, the front seat
belt tensioners and, if the vehicle is so equipped, either side airbag unit. For vehicles equipped with
the OCS, the passenger front airbag and seat belt tensioner will be deployed by the ORC only if
enabled by the OCM messages (passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator OFF) at the time of the
impact.
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.

Seat Occupant Classification Module - Air Bag: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Occupant Classification Module (OCM) (1) is secured to the passenger side outboard front
seat track riser. Concealed within a hollow in the center of the molded plastic OCM housing is a
microprocessor and the other electronic circuitry of the module. The module housing is sealed to
enclose and protect the internal electronic circuitry.
The OCM and all of the other components of the Occupant Classification System (OCS) including
the passenger side front seat, the seat weight sensors, the passenger or driver seat track position
sensor and the seat adjusters, cushion, back, frame, foam, springs, and wiring harness are a
factory-calibrated and assembled unit. Any time any one of these components is removed or
replaced for any reason, the OCM must be re-calibrated using a diagnostic scan tool, the Occupant
Classification Seat Weight special tool 9077, and the Occupant Classification System Verification
Test. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic procedures.
The OCM cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if damaged or faulty, it must be replaced. The OCM
software is flash programmable. A non-calibrated OCM is available for separate service
replacement.

Seat Occupant Classification Module - Air Bag: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Occupant Classification Module (OCM) contains the Occupant
Classification System (OCS) logic circuits. The OCM uses On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can
communicate with other electronic modules in the vehicle as well as with the diagnostic scan tool
using the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. This method of communication is also used for
OCS diagnosis and testing through the 16-way Data Link Connector (DLC) located on the driver
side lower edge of the instrument panel.
The OCM provides voltage to the four seat weight sensors located on each of the four corners of
the passenger side front seat, and to the seat track position sensors located on the passenger and
driver front seat tracks. The OCM then monitors return inputs from each of the sensors on
dedicated hard wired data communication circuits. The seat weight sensor input allows the OCM to
determine whether the passenger front seat is occupied and the relative size of the occupant by
providing a weight-sensing reference to the load on the seat. The seat track position sensor
provides an additional logic input to the OCM microprocessor that allows it to determine the
position of the front seat passenger and driver relative to the front airbags.
Pre-programmed decision algorithms and OCS calibration allow the OCM microprocessor to
determine when passenger airbag protection is appropriate based upon the seat load as signaled
by the seat weight sensors. When the programmed conditions are met, the OCM sends the proper
electronic occupant classification messages over the CAN data bus to the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC), and the ORC enables or disables the deployment circuits for the passenger front
supplemental restraints. On vehicles so equipped, the ORC also provides a control output for the
passenger airbag on/off indicator in the instrument panel based upon the electronic occupant
classification messages it receives from the OCM.
The OCM also sends electronic driver and passenger seat track position messages to the ORC
over the CAN data bus. The ORC uses the seat track position data as an additional logic input for
determining the force level with which to deploy the multistage front airbags.
The OCM microprocessor continuously monitors all of the OCS electrical circuits and components
to determine the system readiness. If the OCM detects a monitored system fault, it sets an active
and stored Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and sends the appropriate electronic messages to the
ORC over the CAN data bus. Then the ORC sets a DTC and sends messages to control the airbag
indicator operation accordingly. An active fault only remains for the duration of the fault, or in some
cases for the duration of the current ignition switch cycle, while a stored fault causes a DTC to be
stored in memory by the OCM and the ORC. For some DTC's, if a fault does not recur for a
number of ignition cycles, the OCM will automatically erase the stored DTC. For other internal
faults, the stored DTC is latched forever.
The OCM receives battery current on a fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit through a fuse
in the Junction Block (JB). The OCM receives ground through a ground circuit of the body wire
harness. These connections allow the OCM to be operational whenever the ignition switch is in the
Start or On positions.
To diagnose the OCM and all its inputs, outputs and related circuits, use a diagnostic scan tool and
the appropriate diagnostic information.

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

Seat Belt Tensioner: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The seat belt tensioners are deployed in conjunction with the dual front airbags by a signal
generated by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) through the driver or passenger seat belt
tensioner line 1 and line 2 (or squib) circuits. When the ORC sends the proper electrical signal to
the tensioners, the electrical energy generates enough heat to initiate a small pyrotechnic gas
generator.
The gas generator is installed in one end of a steel tube that contains numerous steel balls. As the
gas expands, it pushes the steel balls through the tube into a cast metal housing, where a ball
guide directs the balls into engagement with the teeth of a sprocket that is geared to one end of the
retractor spool. As the balls drive past the sprocket, the sprocket turns and drives the seat belt
retractor spool causing the slack to be removed from the front seat belts. The ball trap captures the
balls as they leave the sprocket and are expelled from the housing.
Removing excess slack from the front seat belts not only keeps the occupants properly positioned
for an airbag deployment following a frontal impact of the vehicle, but also helps to reduce injuries
that the occupant might experience in these situations as a result of harmful contact with the
steering wheel, steering column, instrument panel or windshield. Also, the seat belt tensioner
torsion bar that the retractor spool rides upon is designed to deform in order to control the loading
being applied to the occupants by the seat belts during a frontal impact, further reducing the
potential for occupant injuries.
The ORC monitors the condition of the seat belt tensioners through circuit resistance, and will
illuminate the airbag indicator in the Electromechanical 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 Front
Description
FRONT
Two front impact sensors (1) are used on this vehicle, one each for the left and right sides of the
vehicle. These sensors are mounted remotely from the impact sensor that is internal to the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). Each front sensor is secured with a screw to the backs of the
right and left vertical members of the radiator support within the engine compartment.
The right and left front impact sensors are identical in construction and calibration. A cavity in the
center of the molded black plastic impact sensor housing contains the electronic circuitry of the
sensor which includes an electronic communication chip and an electronic impact sensor. Potting
material that fills the cavity to seal and protect the internal electronic circuitry and components. The
front impact sensors are each connected to the vehicle electrical system through the headlamp and
dash wire harness.
The impact sensors cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if damaged or ineffective, they must be
replaced.
Operation
FRONT
The front impact sensors are electronic accelerometers that sense the rate of vehicle deceleration,
which provides verification of the direction and severity of an impact. Each sensor also contains an
electronic communication chip that allows the unit to communicate the sensor status as well as
sensor fault information to the microprocessor in the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC).
The ORC microprocessor continuously monitors all of the passive restraint system electrical
circuits to determine the system readiness. If the ORC detects a monitored system fault, it sets a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and controls the airbag indicator operation accordingly. The impact
sensors each receive battery current and ground through dedicated left and right sensor plus and
minus circuits from the ORC. The impact sensors and the ORC communicate by modulating the
voltage in the sensor plus circuit.
To diagnose the impact sensors or the electronic controls and communication related to front
impact sensor operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

Seat Occupant Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The seat weight sensors are strain gauge-type units. The electronic elements of the sensor are
encased within the sensor body (4). Four sensors are used in the Occupant Classification System
(OCS). The sensors are located below the seat cushion between the seat adjuster track and the
seat adjuster riser at each corner of the passenger side front seat.
A threaded mounting stud (2) on each sensor body is secured by a nut to the seat adjuster riser,
and two nuts secure each sensor mounting flange (1) to two studs integral to the front and rear of
the inboard and outboard passenger side lower seat adjuster tracks. A molded connector
receptacle (3) integral to each sensor body is oriented towards the center of the seat and is
connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated connector and take out of the
passenger seat wire harness beneath the seat cushion.
The seat weight sensors cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the entire
sensor must be replaced.

Seat Occupant Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The seat weight sensor units are designed to sense the relative weight of a load applied to the
passenger side front seat, which provides a logic input to the microprocessor of the Occupant
Classification Module (OCM). When any load is applied to the seat the load is transmitted through
the sensor mounting flange to the sensor body (strain gauge) of each sensor, causing a change of
electrical resistance through the strain gauge. These changes in resistance within the internal
sensor circuitry change the sensor output voltage.
Each weight sensor receives a nominal five volts and a clean ground through parallel hard wired
circuits from the OCM. The OCM then monitors the output voltage of each sensor on dedicated
hard wired data communication circuits. The hard wired circuits between the sensors and the OCM
may be diagnosed and tested using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. However, the
most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the seat weight sensor inputs to the OCM,
and the electronic message communication between the OCM and the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information.

REMOVAL
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, never strike or drop a seat weight sensor or the
passenger side front seat assembly to which the sensors are secured as it can damage the
sensors or affect their calibration. The seat weight sensors and the passenger side front seat
assembly must be handled with care to avoid damage to the sensors. Do not sit upon or place any
loads upon a passenger side front seat while it is removed from its mounts in or outside of the
vehicle. If an individual sensor is dropped or damaged, replace the sensor with a new and unused
unit. If a seat has been dropped during removal or loaded while removed from its mounts, replace
each of the seat weight sensors with new and unused units. Failure to observe this warning could
result in an accidental, incomplete, or improper passenger side front supplemental restraint
deployment.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
WARNING: Wait two minutes for the system reserve capacitor to discharge before servicing any

Seat Occupant Sensor: Service and Repair Installation
INSTALLATION
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, never strike or drop a seat weight sensor or the
passenger side front seat assembly to which the sensors are secured as it can damage the
sensors or affect their calibration. The seat weight sensors and the passenger side front seat
assembly must be handled with care to avoid damage to the sensors. Do not sit upon or place any
loads upon a passenger side front seat while it is removed from its mounts in or outside of the
vehicle. If an individual sensor is dropped or damaged, replace the sensor with a new and unused
unit. If a seat has been dropped during removal or loaded while removed from its mounts, replace
each of the seat weight sensors with new and unused units. Failure to observe this warning could
result in an accidental, incomplete, or improper passenger side front supplemental restraint
deployment.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death on vehicles equipped with the Occupant
Classification System (OCS), any time the passenger side front seat assembly has been removed
or loosened from the vehicle for service of any vehicle component or system the Occupant
Classification System Verification Test must be performed using a diagnostic scan tool and the
Occupant Classification Seat Weight special tool following reinstallation. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic procedures. Failure to observe this warning could result in an accidental, incomplete, or
improper passenger side front supplemental restraint deployment.
CAUTION: Strain gauge alignment tool 9689 (2) must be used to secure the body of the seat
weight sensor (1) from any rotation during removal or installation of the nut that secures the sensor
stud to the seat adjuster riser. In addition, the sensor fasteners should always be serviced using
hand tools ONLY, and not electric or pneumatic power tools. Failure to observe these precautions
may result in irreversible sensor damage and require sensor replacement.
1. Install the seat weight sensor and install the nuts securing the seat weight sensor to the adjuster
track. Tighten nuts to 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.).
2. Place the seat track onto the seat riser.
3. Install the nut on the center stud and repeat for each of the four weight sensors.
CAUTION: Do not tighten the center nut to the seat weight sensors without the use of strain gauge
alignment tool 9689.
4. Insert the fork (1) into weight sensor and seat the support yoke (2) firmly against the weight
sensor cage. Tighten nut to 45 Nm (33 ft. lbs.).
Repeat for all four sensors.

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

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

Keyless Entry Module: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
When a PCM and the SKREEM are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in
order:
1. Program the new PCM.
2. Program the new SKREEM.
3. Replace all ignition keys and program them to the new SKREEM.
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) is sometimes referred to as the Wireless Control
Module (WCM). The SKREEM/WCM is the primary component of the Sentry Key Immobilizer
System (SKIS). It is also the receiver for the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system and the Tire
Pressure Monitor (TPM) system. The SKREEM/WCM is located on the steering column, around the
ignition lock cylinder housing and is concealed beneath the steering column shrouds. The molded
black plastic housing for the SKREEM/WCM has an integral molded plastic halo-like antenna ring
(3) that extends from one side. When the SKREEM/WCM is properly installed, the antenna ring is
oriented around the ignition lock cylinder housing.
A single connector (4) is located next to the antenna ring on the SKREEM/WCM housing (3). A
molded plastic mounting tab (2) on the SKREEM/WCM housing secures the unit to the steering
column. The SKREEM/WCM is connected to the vehicle electrical system through the instrument
panel wire harness.
The SKREEM/WCM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If faulty or damaged, the entire SKREEM unit
must be replaced.

Keyless Entry Module: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM), sometimes referred to as the Wireless Control
Module (WCM), contains a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver and a microprocessor. The
SKREEM/WCM transmits RF signals to, and receives RF signals from the Sentry Key transponder
through a tuned antenna enclosed within the molded plastic antenna ring integral to the
SKREEM/WCM housing. If this antenna ring is not mounted properly around the ignition lock
cylinder housing, communication problems between the SKREEM/WCM and the transponder may
arise. These communication problems will result in Sentry Key transponder-related faults.
The SKREEM also serves as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) RF receiver and, if the vehicle is so
equipped, the receiver for the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system. The SKREEM/WCM
communicates over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus with the Electromechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN), the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM), and/or the diagnostic scan tool.
The SKREEM/WCM retains in memory the ID numbers of any Sentry Key transponder that is
programmed into it. A maximum of eight Sentry Key transponders can be programmed into the
SKREEM/WCM. For added system security, each SKREEM/WCM is programmed with a unique
Secret Key code. This code is stored in memory, sent over the CAN data bus to the PCM, and is
encoded to the transponder of every Sentry Key that is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM.
Therefore, the Secret Key code is a common element that is found in every component of the
Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS). Another security code, called a PIN, is used to gain access
to the SKREEM/WCM Secured Access Mode. The Secured Access Mode is required during
service to perform the SKIS initialization and Sentry Key transponder programming procedures.
The SKREEM/WCM also stores the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in its memory, which it
learns through a CAN data bus message from the PCM during SKIS initialization.
NOTE: After a SKREEM/WCM is replaced, the ignition/transponder keys need to be programmed
to the new SKREEM/WCM. Follow the directions on the diagnostic scan tool. The transponder key
for the SKREES/SKIM and the RKE will both be programmed during this operation. There is no
need to program the fob of the key for RKE functionality once the transponder key is programmed
to the new SKREEM/WCM.
In the event that a SKREEM/WCM replacement is required, the Secret Key code can be
transferred to the new SKREEM/WCM from the PCM using the diagnostic scan tool and the SKIS
initialization procedure. Proper completion of the SKIS initialization will allow the existing Sentry
Keys to be programmed into the new SKREEM/WCM so that new keys will not be required. In the
event that the original Secret Key code cannot be recovered, SKREEM/WCM replacement will also
require new Sentry Keys. The diagnostic scan tool will alert the technician during the SKIS
initialization procedure if new Sentry Keys are required.
When the ignition switch is turned to the On position, the SKREEM/WCM transmits an RF signal to
the transponder in the ignition key. The SKREEM/WCM then waits for an RF signal response from
the transponder. If the response received identifies the key as valid, the SKREEM/WCM sends a
valid key message to the PCM over the CAN data bus. If the response received identifies the key
as invalid or if no response is received from the key transponder, the SKREEM/WCM sends an
invalid key message to the PCM. The PCM will enable or disable engine operation based upon the
status of the SKREEM/WCM messages. It is important to note that the default condition in the PCM
is an invalid key; therefore, if no message is received from the SKREEM/WCM by the PCM, the
engine will be disabled and the vehicle immobilized after two seconds of running.
The SKREEM/WCM also sends security indicator status messages to the EMIC/CCN over the CAN
data bus to tell the EMIC/CCN how to operate the security indicator. The security indicator status
message from the SKREEM/WCM tells the EMIC/CCN to turn the indicator on for about three
seconds each time the ignition switch is turned to the On position as a bulb test. After completion of
the bulb test, the SKREEM/WCM sends security indicator status messages to the EMIC/CCN to
turn the indicator off, turn the indicator on, or to flash the indicator on and off. If the security
indicator flashes or stays on solid after the bulb test, it signifies a SKIS fault. If the SKREEM/WCM
detects a system malfunction and/or the SKIS has become inoperative, the security indicator will
stay on solid. If the SKREEM/WCM detects an invalid key or if a key transponder-related fault
exists, the security indicator will flash. If the vehicle is equipped with the Customer Learn
transponder programming feature, the SKREEM/WCM will also send messages to the EMIC/CCN
to flash the security indicator whenever the Customer Learn programming mode is being utilized.
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the On position, and will
store fault information in the form of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in SKREEM/WCM memory if
a system malfunction is detected. The SKREEM/WCM can be diagnosed, and any stored DTC can
be retrieved using a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
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.

Circuit Functions
DESCRIPTION - CIRCUIT FUNCTIONS
All circuits in the diagrams use an alpha/numeric code to identify the wire and it's function. To
identify which circuit code applies to a system, refer to the Circuit Identification Code Chart. This
chart shows the main circuits only and does not show the secondary codes that may apply to some
models.

Circuit Information
DESCRIPTION - CIRCUIT INFORMATION
Each wire shown in the diagrams contains a code which identifies the main circuit, a specific part of
the main circuit, gage of wire, and color. An example would be A 2 18 LB/YL. This is a Battery
Feed circuit, level two, eighteen gauge, light blue with a yellow tracer.
Connector, Ground and Splice Information
DESCRIPTION - 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.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Cellular Phone > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8165
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
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
DESCRIPTION - SECTION IDENTIFICATION AND INFORMATION
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual sections. If a component is most likely found in a
particular group, it will be shown complete (all wires, connectors, and pins) within that group. For
example, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be found in Powertrain Management, so it is
shown there complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some
associated wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Splice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.
Connector Pin-Outs 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
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.

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.

DESCRIPTION
TELECOMMUNICATION
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.
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 Bluetooth(TM) cellular phones, each of which is
given a spoken identification by the user during the setup process. The system includes Spanish
voice recognition in addition to English.
Two buttons on the rearview mirror, identified with ISO icons, control the system: A "phone" button
turns the system on and off; a "voice recognition" (or "voice command") button prompts the
hands-free system to listen for a voice command.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
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
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.

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, PDA's,
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.
The electronic compass unit features a continuous self-calibrating feature. This feature
automatically updates the compass calibration as the vehicle is 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 calibration procedure. Also, any
time a new RCM is installed, it must be calibrated using this procedure.
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. Continue to depress and release the STEP button (28) until the "Personal Settings" menu is
displayed.
3. Once in the "Personal Settings" menu depress and release the STEP button (28) several times
until "Calibrate Compass (Yes)" is displayed.
4. A long (longer than two seconds) STEP button press will place the compass in calibration mode.
The "Cal" indicator will change from flashing
to on continuously in the EVIC display (29) to indicate that the compass is now in the calibration
mode and that the vehicle can now be driven to calibrate. (A short STEP button press from the
"Calibrate Compass (Yes)" screen will exit the EVIC Customer Programmable features, and return
it to its normal operating mode).
5. To complete the compass calibration, drive the vehicle in one or more complete 360 degree
circles under 5 mph (8 km/h) in an area free of large
metal objects such as other vehicles, large buildings, or bridges; or, near overhead or underground
power lines, until the "CAL" indicator turns off. The compass will now function normally.
NOTE: If the compass display indicates an inaccurate compass heading or the display is locked up,
the RCM may be inoperative or the vehicle may need to be demagnetized. Perform the Compass
Demagnetizing Procedure prior to performing any system diagnosis.
NOTE: If the compass display indicates dashes "- -" the RCM may be inoperative or the vehicle
may need to be demagnetized. Perform the Compass Demagnetizing Procedure prior to
performing any system diagnosis.
NOTE: If the "CAL" message remains in the display or if the compass heading is inaccurate
following the calibration procedure and there are no internal compass faults, either there is
excessive magnetism near the compass, or the unit is inoperative. Repeat the calibration
procedure at least one more time prior to performing any system 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.

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 geographic north. In some geographic locations, the difference between
magnetic and geographic north is great enough to cause the compass to give inaccurate readings.
To optimize compass accuracy, the compass variance should be properly set according to the
compass variance map zone for the region that the vehicle is in.
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 position.
3. Continue to depress and release the STEP button (28) until the "Personal Settings" menu is
displayed.
4. Once in the "Personal Settings" menu depress and release the STEP button (28) several times
until "Compass Variance" is displayed. The
"Compass Variance" message and the current variance zone number will be displayed. The default
variance zone is 8.
NOTE: During programming, the Zone value will wrap around from Zone 15 to Zone 1.
5. To change the zone, press and hold (longer than two seconds) the STEP button to increment the
variance one step. Repeat as necessary, with
individual long (longer than two seconds) STEP button presses for each increment, until the
desired variance is achieved.

COMPASS DEMAGNETIZING
A degaussing tool (Special Tool 6029) is used to demagnetize, or degauss, the roof panel above
the overhead console. Equivalent units must be rated as continuous duty for 110/115 volts and 60
Hz. They must also have a field strength of over 350 gauss at 7 millimeters (0.25 inch) beyond the
tip of the probe.
To demagnetize the roof panel 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 compass unit.
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 and adjust the compass variance.

Garage Door Opener Transmitter: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Some vehicles are equipped with a Universal Transmitter transceiver (4). The universal transmitter
transceiver (4) is located in the headliner (5) just to the rear of the courtesy/reading lamps (1). The
only visible component of the universal transmitter are the three transmitter push buttons. The
three universal transmitter push buttons are identified with raised buttons and contain a transmit
indicator that lights during operation and programming functions.
Each of the three universal transmitter push buttons controls an independent radio transmitter
channel. Each of these three channels can be trained to transmit a different radio frequency signal
for the remote operation of garage door openers, motorized gate openers, home or office lighting,
security systems or just about any other device that can be equipped with a radio receiver in the
280 to 435 MegaHertz (MHz) frequency range for remote operation. The universal transmitter is
capable of operating systems using either rolling code or non-rolling code technology. The system
will not transmit operating signals if the Vehicle Theft Security System is armed.
The universal transmitter cannot be repaired, and if inoperative or damaged, the complete module
assembly must be replaced.

programmed codes.
To erase programming from the three buttons (individual buttons cannot be erased but can be
"reprogrammed"), follow the step noted:
- Press and hold the two outer HomeLink(R) 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".
Programming Homelink(R) Transceiver Codes
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK(R) TRANSCEIVER CODES
Programming Common HomeLink(R) Transmitter Codes
WARNING: Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run the vehicle's
exhaust while training the transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause serious injury or death.
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 HomeLink(R) for quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency
signal.
NOTE: If programing the HomeLink(R) transceiver is unsuccessful using the following procedure,
refer to the Owner's Manual for the current customer assistance phone number.
- Press and hold the two outer HomeLink(R) 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) buttons.
- Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 3-8 cm (1-3 inches) away from the HomeLink(R)
buttons while keeping the indicator light in view.
- Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink(R) buttons 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) 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 the rapid flash.
- Press and hold the just trained HomeLink(R) button and observe the indicator light. If the indicator
light stays on constantly, programming is complete and your device should activate when the
HomeLink(R) button is pressed and released.
NOTE: To program the remaining two HomeLink(R) 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) 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.
HomeLink(R) should now activate your rolling code equipped device.

NOTE: To program the remaining two HomeLink(R) 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 HomeLink(R) 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)"
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) button while you press and release every two
seconds ("cycle") your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has successfully been
accepted by HomeLink(R). (The indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly.) Proceed with
"Programming" step 4 to complete.

the indicator light stays on constantly, reprogramming is complete and your device should activate
when the button is pressed and released.
NOTE: If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a constant light,
continue with "Reprogramming" 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 reprogrammed
HomeLink(R) transceiver button. Repeat the "press/hold/release" sequence a second time, and,
depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped device), repeat
this sequence a third time to complete the reprogramming.

The HomeLink(R) transceiver should now activate your rolling code equipped device.
Canadian 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 HomeLink(R) 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)"
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) button while you press and release every two
seconds ("cycle") your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has successfully been
accepted by HomeLink(R). (The indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly.) Proceed with
"Programming" step 4 to complete.

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

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

Keyless Entry Module: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
When a PCM and the SKREEM are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in
order:
1. Program the new PCM.
2. Program the new SKREEM.
3. Replace all ignition keys and program them to the new SKREEM.
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) is sometimes referred to as the Wireless Control
Module (WCM). The SKREEM/WCM is the primary component of the Sentry Key Immobilizer
System (SKIS). It is also the receiver for the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system and the Tire
Pressure Monitor (TPM) system. The SKREEM/WCM is located on the steering column, around the
ignition lock cylinder housing and is concealed beneath the steering column shrouds. The molded
black plastic housing for the SKREEM/WCM has an integral molded plastic halo-like antenna ring
(3) that extends from one side. When the SKREEM/WCM is properly installed, the antenna ring is
oriented around the ignition lock cylinder housing.
A single connector (4) is located next to the antenna ring on the SKREEM/WCM housing (3). A
molded plastic mounting tab (2) on the SKREEM/WCM housing secures the unit to the steering
column. The SKREEM/WCM is connected to the vehicle electrical system through the instrument
panel wire harness.
The SKREEM/WCM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If faulty or damaged, the entire SKREEM unit
must be replaced.

Keyless Entry Module: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM), sometimes referred to as the Wireless Control
Module (WCM), contains a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver and a microprocessor. The
SKREEM/WCM transmits RF signals to, and receives RF signals from the Sentry Key transponder
through a tuned antenna enclosed within the molded plastic antenna ring integral to the
SKREEM/WCM housing. If this antenna ring is not mounted properly around the ignition lock
cylinder housing, communication problems between the SKREEM/WCM and the transponder may
arise. These communication problems will result in Sentry Key transponder-related faults.
The SKREEM also serves as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) RF receiver and, if the vehicle is so
equipped, the receiver for the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system. The SKREEM/WCM
communicates over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus with the Electromechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN), the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM), and/or the diagnostic scan tool.
The SKREEM/WCM retains in memory the ID numbers of any Sentry Key transponder that is
programmed into it. A maximum of eight Sentry Key transponders can be programmed into the
SKREEM/WCM. For added system security, each SKREEM/WCM is programmed with a unique
Secret Key code. This code is stored in memory, sent over the CAN data bus to the PCM, and is
encoded to the transponder of every Sentry Key that is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM.
Therefore, the Secret Key code is a common element that is found in every component of the
Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS). Another security code, called a PIN, is used to gain access
to the SKREEM/WCM Secured Access Mode. The Secured Access Mode is required during
service to perform the SKIS initialization and Sentry Key transponder programming procedures.
The SKREEM/WCM also stores the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in its memory, which it
learns through a CAN data bus message from the PCM during SKIS initialization.
NOTE: After a SKREEM/WCM is replaced, the ignition/transponder keys need to be programmed
to the new SKREEM/WCM. Follow the directions on the diagnostic scan tool. The transponder key
for the SKREES/SKIM and the RKE will both be programmed during this operation. There is no
need to program the fob of the key for RKE functionality once the transponder key is programmed
to the new SKREEM/WCM.
In the event that a SKREEM/WCM replacement is required, the Secret Key code can be
transferred to the new SKREEM/WCM from the PCM using the diagnostic scan tool and the SKIS
initialization procedure. Proper completion of the SKIS initialization will allow the existing Sentry
Keys to be programmed into the new SKREEM/WCM so that new keys will not be required. In the
event that the original Secret Key code cannot be recovered, SKREEM/WCM replacement will also
require new Sentry Keys. The diagnostic scan tool will alert the technician during the SKIS
initialization procedure if new Sentry Keys are required.
When the ignition switch is turned to the On position, the SKREEM/WCM transmits an RF signal to
the transponder in the ignition key. The SKREEM/WCM then waits for an RF signal response from
the transponder. If the response received identifies the key as valid, the SKREEM/WCM sends a
valid key message to the PCM over the CAN data bus. If the response received identifies the key
as invalid or if no response is received from the key transponder, the SKREEM/WCM sends an
invalid key message to the PCM. The PCM will enable or disable engine operation based upon the
status of the SKREEM/WCM messages. It is important to note that the default condition in the PCM
is an invalid key; therefore, if no message is received from the SKREEM/WCM by the PCM, the
engine will be disabled and the vehicle immobilized after two seconds of running.
The SKREEM/WCM also sends security indicator status messages to the EMIC/CCN over the CAN
data bus to tell the EMIC/CCN how to operate the security indicator. The security indicator status
message from the SKREEM/WCM tells the EMIC/CCN to turn the indicator on for about three
seconds each time the ignition switch is turned to the On position as a bulb test. After completion of
the bulb test, the SKREEM/WCM sends security indicator status messages to the EMIC/CCN to
turn the indicator off, turn the indicator on, or to flash the indicator on and off. If the security
indicator flashes or stays on solid after the bulb test, it signifies a SKIS fault. If the SKREEM/WCM
detects a system malfunction and/or the SKIS has become inoperative, the security indicator will
stay on solid. If the SKREEM/WCM detects an invalid key or if a key transponder-related fault
exists, the security indicator will flash. If the vehicle is equipped with the Customer Learn
transponder programming feature, the SKREEM/WCM will also send messages to the EMIC/CCN
to flash the security indicator whenever the Customer Learn programming mode is being utilized.
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the On position, and will
store fault information in the form of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in SKREEM/WCM memory if
a system malfunction is detected. The SKREEM/WCM can be diagnosed, and any stored DTC can
be retrieved using a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Steering Mounted Controls Communication Module: Description and Operation 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. 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
- Right Multi-Function Switch

Steering Mounted Controls Communication Module: Description and Operation 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.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8522
- 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.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
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.

Body Control Systems: Description and Operation 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 system used to provide direct communication between a 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-B, the CAN-C and the Diagnostic CAN-C. The CAN-B 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), but is less fault tolerant than the CAN-B
system. The CAN-C is used exclusively for communications between critical powertrain and
chassis nodes. The slower (83.3 Kbps), but more fault tolerant CAN-B system is used for
communications between body and interior nodes. The CAN-B fault tolerance comes from its ability
to revert to a single wire communication mode if there is a fault in the bus wiring.
The added speed of the CAN data bus 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.

Body Control Systems: Description and Operation 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 low speed CAN-B bus or on the high 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. Bus messages are carried over
the data bus in the form of Variable Pulse Width Modulated (VPWM) signals which, when the high
and low voltage pulses are 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 Electromechanical 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
data bus communication between the individual Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) transponders and the
Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as the Wireless Control Module/WCM).
Both the EMIC and the SKREEM either act directly upon the information received through the LIN
data bus or relay the information to other nodes in the vehicle using electronic messages placed on
the CAN-B bus.
The voltage network used to transmit messages requires biasing and termination. Each module on
the CAN bus network provides its own biasing and termination. Each node terminates the bus
through a terminating resistor and a terminating capacitor. There are two types of nodes on the
bus. The dominant node terminates the bus through a 1 KW resistor and a 3300 pF capacitor,
typically resulting in about a 3300 ohm termination resistance. However, this resistance value may
vary somewhat by application. The TIPM (or TIPMCGW) is the only dominant node in this network.
A non-dominant (or recessive) node terminates the bus through an 11 KW resistor and a 330 pF
capacitor, typically resulting in about a 10800 ohm termination resistance.
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. 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.
All measurements taken between node ground and CAN terminal with a standard DVOM.
DVOM will display average network voltage.
Total resistance of CAN-C network can also be measured (60 ohms). Cannot measure total
resistance of CAN-B network.

In order to minimize the potential effects of Ignition-Off Draw (IOD), the CAN-B network employs a
sleep strategy. However, a network sleep strategy should not be confused with the sleep strategy
of the individual nodes on that network, as they may differ. For example: The CAN-C bus network
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-B bus network remains active until all nodes on that network are ready for sleep. This is
determined by the network using tokens in a manner similar to polling. When the last node that is
active on the network is ready for sleep, and it has already received a token indicating that all other
nodes on the bus are ready for sleep, it broadcasts a bus sleep acknowledgment message that
causes the network to sleep. Once the CAN-B bus network is asleep, any node on the bus can
awaken it by transmitting a message on the network. The TIPM will keep either the CAN-B or the
CAN-C bus awake for a timed interval after it receives a diagnostic message for that bus over the
Diagnostic CAN-C bus.
In the CAN system, available options are configured into the 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-B 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-B and
CAN-C network status information to the scan tool using certain diagnostic signals. In addition, the
transceiver in each node on the CAN-C bus will identify a bus off hardware failure, while the
transceiver in each node on the CAN-B bus will identify a general bus hardware failure. The
transceivers for some CAN-B nodes will also identify certain failures for both CAN-B bus signal
wires.

Keyless Entry Module: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
When a PCM and the SKREEM are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in
order:
1. Program the new PCM.
2. Program the new SKREEM.
3. Replace all ignition keys and program them to the new SKREEM.
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) is sometimes referred to as the Wireless Control
Module (WCM). The SKREEM/WCM is the primary component of the Sentry Key Immobilizer
System (SKIS). It is also the receiver for the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system and the Tire
Pressure Monitor (TPM) system. The SKREEM/WCM is located on the steering column, around the
ignition lock cylinder housing and is concealed beneath the steering column shrouds. The molded
black plastic housing for the SKREEM/WCM has an integral molded plastic halo-like antenna ring
(3) that extends from one side. When the SKREEM/WCM is properly installed, the antenna ring is
oriented around the ignition lock cylinder housing.
A single connector (4) is located next to the antenna ring on the SKREEM/WCM housing (3). A
molded plastic mounting tab (2) on the SKREEM/WCM housing secures the unit to the steering
column. The SKREEM/WCM is connected to the vehicle electrical system through the instrument
panel wire harness.
The SKREEM/WCM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If faulty or damaged, the entire SKREEM unit
must be replaced.

Keyless Entry Module: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM), sometimes referred to as the Wireless Control
Module (WCM), contains a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver and a microprocessor. The
SKREEM/WCM transmits RF signals to, and receives RF signals from the Sentry Key transponder
through a tuned antenna enclosed within the molded plastic antenna ring integral to the
SKREEM/WCM housing. If this antenna ring is not mounted properly around the ignition lock
cylinder housing, communication problems between the SKREEM/WCM and the transponder may
arise. These communication problems will result in Sentry Key transponder-related faults.
The SKREEM also serves as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) RF receiver and, if the vehicle is so
equipped, the receiver for the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system. The SKREEM/WCM
communicates over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus with the Electromechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN), the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM), and/or the diagnostic scan tool.
The SKREEM/WCM retains in memory the ID numbers of any Sentry Key transponder that is
programmed into it. A maximum of eight Sentry Key transponders can be programmed into the
SKREEM/WCM. For added system security, each SKREEM/WCM is programmed with a unique
Secret Key code. This code is stored in memory, sent over the CAN data bus to the PCM, and is
encoded to the transponder of every Sentry Key that is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM.
Therefore, the Secret Key code is a common element that is found in every component of the
Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS). Another security code, called a PIN, is used to gain access
to the SKREEM/WCM Secured Access Mode. The Secured Access Mode is required during
service to perform the SKIS initialization and Sentry Key transponder programming procedures.
The SKREEM/WCM also stores the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in its memory, which it
learns through a CAN data bus message from the PCM during SKIS initialization.
NOTE: After a SKREEM/WCM is replaced, the ignition/transponder keys need to be programmed
to the new SKREEM/WCM. Follow the directions on the diagnostic scan tool. The transponder key
for the SKREES/SKIM and the RKE will both be programmed during this operation. There is no
need to program the fob of the key for RKE functionality once the transponder key is programmed
to the new SKREEM/WCM.
In the event that a SKREEM/WCM replacement is required, the Secret Key code can be
transferred to the new SKREEM/WCM from the PCM using the diagnostic scan tool and the SKIS
initialization procedure. Proper completion of the SKIS initialization will allow the existing Sentry
Keys to be programmed into the new SKREEM/WCM so that new keys will not be required. In the
event that the original Secret Key code cannot be recovered, SKREEM/WCM replacement will also
require new Sentry Keys. The diagnostic scan tool will alert the technician during the SKIS
initialization procedure if new Sentry Keys are required.
When the ignition switch is turned to the On position, the SKREEM/WCM transmits an RF signal to
the transponder in the ignition key. The SKREEM/WCM then waits for an RF signal response from
the transponder. If the response received identifies the key as valid, the SKREEM/WCM sends a
valid key message to the PCM over the CAN data bus. If the response received identifies the key
as invalid or if no response is received from the key transponder, the SKREEM/WCM sends an
invalid key message to the PCM. The PCM will enable or disable engine operation based upon the
status of the SKREEM/WCM messages. It is important to note that the default condition in the PCM
is an invalid key; therefore, if no message is received from the SKREEM/WCM by the PCM, the
engine will be disabled and the vehicle immobilized after two seconds of running.
The SKREEM/WCM also sends security indicator status messages to the EMIC/CCN over the CAN
data bus to tell the EMIC/CCN how to operate the security indicator. The security indicator status
message from the SKREEM/WCM tells the EMIC/CCN to turn the indicator on for about three
seconds each time the ignition switch is turned to the On position as a bulb test. After completion of
the bulb test, the SKREEM/WCM sends security indicator status messages to the EMIC/CCN to
turn the indicator off, turn the indicator on, or to flash the indicator on and off. If the security
indicator flashes or stays on solid after the bulb test, it signifies a SKIS fault. If the SKREEM/WCM
detects a system malfunction and/or the SKIS has become inoperative, the security indicator will
stay on solid. If the SKREEM/WCM detects an invalid key or if a key transponder-related fault
exists, the security indicator will flash. If the vehicle is equipped with the Customer Learn
transponder programming feature, the SKREEM/WCM will also send messages to the EMIC/CCN
to flash the security indicator whenever the Customer Learn programming mode is being utilized.
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the On position, and will
store fault information in the form of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in SKREEM/WCM memory if
a system malfunction is detected. The SKREEM/WCM can be diagnosed, and any stored DTC can
be retrieved using a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Power Door Lock Actuator: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The lock mechanisms are actuated by a reversible electric motor mounted within each door and
tailgate. The power lock motors are integral to the door latch units.
The power lock motors cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if inoperative or damaged, the door
latch unit must be replaced.

Power Door Lock Actuator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The door lock motors are controlled by relays. A positive and negative battery connection to the
two motor terminals will cause the motor to move in one direction. Reversing the current will cause
the motor to move in the opposite direction.

Power Door Lock Actuator: Testing and Inspection
DOOR LOCK MOTOR
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the power lock system requires the
use of a scan tool and the proper Diagnostic information.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
1. Make certain battery is in normal condition and fuses powering the RKE module aren't blown
before circuits are tested.
2. To determine which motor is inoperative, check each individual door for electrical lock and
unlock or disconnect the motor connectors one at a
time, while operating the door lock switch.
3. In the event that none of the motors work, the problem maybe caused by a shorted motor, a bad
switch or a bad relay internal to the RKE module.
Disconnecting a defective motor will allow the others to work.
4. To test an individual door lock motor, disconnect the electrical connector from the motor.
5. To lock the door, connect a 12 volt power source to one pin of the lock motor and a ground wire
to the other pin.
6. To unlock the door, reverse the wire connections at the motor pin terminals.
7. If these results are NOT obtained, replace the motor.

DIAGNOSIS: Inspect the vehicle horizontal panels for the appearance of an etched surface (picture
available in "PAINT CONDITION DECK" - publication number 81-316-0507 - see "INSECT ETCH"
graphic).
Two procedures are available depending on the severity of the condition. Repair Procedure "A" is

Paint: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
On most vehicles a two-part paint application (basecoat/clearcoat) is used. Color paint that is
applied to primer is called basecoat. The clearcoat protects the basecoat from ultraviolet light and
provides a durable high-gloss finish.
CAUTION: Do not use abrasive chemicals or compounds on painted surfaces. Damage to finish
can result.
Do not use harsh alkaline based cleaning solvents on painted surfaces. Damage to finish or color
can result.

Paint: Service and Repair Paint Touch-Up
DESCRIPTION
When a painted metal surface has been scratched or chipped, it should be touched up as soon as
possible to avoid corrosion. For best results, use Mopar(R) Scratch Filler/Primer, Touch Up Paints
and Clear Top Coat.
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 STEP 4. Allow clear top coat to dry
hard. If desired, STEP 5 can be performed on clear top coat.
WARNING: Avoid prolonged skin contact with petroleum or alcohol - based cleaning solvents.
Personal injury can result.

Paint: Service and Repair Finesse Sanding, Buffing, And Polishing - Description
DESCRIPTION
Minor acid etching, orange peel, or smudging in clearcoat or single-stage finishes can be reduced
with light finesse sanding, hand buffing, and polishing. If the finish has been finesse sanded in the
past, it cannot be repeated. Finesse sanding operation should be performed by a trained
automotive paint technician.
CAUTION: Do not remove clearcoat finish, if equipped. Basecoat paint must retain clearcoat for
durability.

Keyless Entry Module: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
When a PCM and the SKREEM are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in
order:
1. Program the new PCM.
2. Program the new SKREEM.
3. Replace all ignition keys and program them to the new SKREEM.
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) is sometimes referred to as the Wireless Control
Module (WCM). The SKREEM/WCM is the primary component of the Sentry Key Immobilizer
System (SKIS). It is also the receiver for the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system and the Tire
Pressure Monitor (TPM) system. The SKREEM/WCM is located on the steering column, around the
ignition lock cylinder housing and is concealed beneath the steering column shrouds. The molded
black plastic housing for the SKREEM/WCM has an integral molded plastic halo-like antenna ring
(3) that extends from one side. When the SKREEM/WCM is properly installed, the antenna ring is
oriented around the ignition lock cylinder housing.
A single connector (4) is located next to the antenna ring on the SKREEM/WCM housing (3). A
molded plastic mounting tab (2) on the SKREEM/WCM housing secures the unit to the steering
column. The SKREEM/WCM is connected to the vehicle electrical system through the instrument
panel wire harness.
The SKREEM/WCM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If faulty or damaged, the entire SKREEM unit
must be replaced.

Keyless Entry Module: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM), sometimes referred to as the Wireless Control
Module (WCM), contains a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver and a microprocessor. The
SKREEM/WCM transmits RF signals to, and receives RF signals from the Sentry Key transponder
through a tuned antenna enclosed within the molded plastic antenna ring integral to the
SKREEM/WCM housing. If this antenna ring is not mounted properly around the ignition lock
cylinder housing, communication problems between the SKREEM/WCM and the transponder may
arise. These communication problems will result in Sentry Key transponder-related faults.
The SKREEM also serves as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) RF receiver and, if the vehicle is so
equipped, the receiver for the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system. The SKREEM/WCM
communicates over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus with the Electromechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN), the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM), and/or the diagnostic scan tool.
The SKREEM/WCM retains in memory the ID numbers of any Sentry Key transponder that is
programmed into it. A maximum of eight Sentry Key transponders can be programmed into the
SKREEM/WCM. For added system security, each SKREEM/WCM is programmed with a unique
Secret Key code. This code is stored in memory, sent over the CAN data bus to the PCM, and is
encoded to the transponder of every Sentry Key that is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM.
Therefore, the Secret Key code is a common element that is found in every component of the
Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS). Another security code, called a PIN, is used to gain access
to the SKREEM/WCM Secured Access Mode. The Secured Access Mode is required during
service to perform the SKIS initialization and Sentry Key transponder programming procedures.
The SKREEM/WCM also stores the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in its memory, which it
learns through a CAN data bus message from the PCM during SKIS initialization.
NOTE: After a SKREEM/WCM is replaced, the ignition/transponder keys need to be programmed
to the new SKREEM/WCM. Follow the directions on the diagnostic scan tool. The transponder key
for the SKREES/SKIM and the RKE will both be programmed during this operation. There is no
need to program the fob of the key for RKE functionality once the transponder key is programmed
to the new SKREEM/WCM.
In the event that a SKREEM/WCM replacement is required, the Secret Key code can be
transferred to the new SKREEM/WCM from the PCM using the diagnostic scan tool and the SKIS
initialization procedure. Proper completion of the SKIS initialization will allow the existing Sentry
Keys to be programmed into the new SKREEM/WCM so that new keys will not be required. In the
event that the original Secret Key code cannot be recovered, SKREEM/WCM replacement will also
require new Sentry Keys. The diagnostic scan tool will alert the technician during the SKIS
initialization procedure if new Sentry Keys are required.
When the ignition switch is turned to the On position, the SKREEM/WCM transmits an RF signal to
the transponder in the ignition key. The SKREEM/WCM then waits for an RF signal response from
the transponder. If the response received identifies the key as valid, the SKREEM/WCM sends a
valid key message to the PCM over the CAN data bus. If the response received identifies the key
as invalid or if no response is received from the key transponder, the SKREEM/WCM sends an
invalid key message to the PCM. The PCM will enable or disable engine operation based upon the
status of the SKREEM/WCM messages. It is important to note that the default condition in the PCM
is an invalid key; therefore, if no message is received from the SKREEM/WCM by the PCM, the
engine will be disabled and the vehicle immobilized after two seconds of running.
The SKREEM/WCM also sends security indicator status messages to the EMIC/CCN over the CAN
data bus to tell the EMIC/CCN how to operate the security indicator. The security indicator status
message from the SKREEM/WCM tells the EMIC/CCN to turn the indicator on for about three
seconds each time the ignition switch is turned to the On position as a bulb test. After completion of
the bulb test, the SKREEM/WCM sends security indicator status messages to the EMIC/CCN to
turn the indicator off, turn the indicator on, or to flash the indicator on and off. If the security
indicator flashes or stays on solid after the bulb test, it signifies a SKIS fault. If the SKREEM/WCM
detects a system malfunction and/or the SKIS has become inoperative, the security indicator will
stay on solid. If the SKREEM/WCM detects an invalid key or if a key transponder-related fault
exists, the security indicator will flash. If the vehicle is equipped with the Customer Learn
transponder programming feature, the SKREEM/WCM will also send messages to the EMIC/CCN
to flash the security indicator whenever the Customer Learn programming mode is being utilized.
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the On position, and will
store fault information in the form of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in SKREEM/WCM memory if
a system malfunction is detected. The SKREEM/WCM can be diagnosed, and any stored DTC can
be retrieved using a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Seat Heater Control Module: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat module (2) is located under the left front seat. It has a single electrical connector
(1) and a push pin style retainer that secures it to the seat pan. The module can be accessed from
under the front left seat with the seat in the full back position.
The heated seat module is a microprocessor designed to use the Local Interface Network (LIN)
data bus messages from the instrument cluster also known as the Cabin 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 > Description > Page 9366
Seat Heater Control Module: Description and Operation 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 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.
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.

Sunroof / Moonroof Switch: Description and Operation 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.

Description
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 element consists of multiple heating circuits operating in parallel
throughout the carbon fiber element. The heated seat elements are captured between the leather
or cloth 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.
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.

DESCRIPTION
WARNING: The front passenger seat assembly contains critical components that affect the front
passenger airbag deployment. Correctly functioning front passenger seat components are critical
for the Occupant Classification System (OCS) to properly classify the front passenger and calculate
the proper airbag deployment. Unapproved modifications or service procedures to the front
passenger seat assembly, its related components, or trim cover may inadvertently change the
airbag deployment in case of a frontal crash. This could result in death or serious injury to the front
seat passenger if the vehicle is involved in an accident. The following requirements must be strictly
adhered to:
- Do not modify the front passenger seat assembly or components in any way.
- Do not modify the front seat center console or center position seat in any way.
- Do not use prior or future model year seat trim covers not designated for the specific model being
repaired. Always use the correct seat trim cover specified for the vehicle.
- Do not replace the seat trim cover with an aftermarket trim cover.
- Do not add a secondary trim cover other than those approved by DaimlerChrysler/Mopar(R).
- At no time should any Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) component or SRS related
component or fastener be modified or replaced with any part except those which are approved by
DaimlerChrysler/Mopar(R).
Vehicles with the heated seat option can be visually identified by the two heated seat switches
located in the center stack (1) of the instrument panel. The switches are located on the outer edges
of the accessory switch bank (2). 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 for this vehicle 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 left 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 mounted in the instrument panel center stack.
- Instrument Cluster (CCN) - A Cab Compartment Node (CCN) is part of the instrument cluster on
this vehicle. The 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.
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 is used to control the heated seat system. The module responds to heated
seat switch messages and ignition switch status inputs by controlling the 12v output to the front
seat heating elements through integral solid-state relays.
When either of the heated seat switches are depressed a switch status message is sent to the Cab
Compartment Node (CCN) or instrument cluster via the
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Description and Operation
> Cushion Pad Heater > Page 9494
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 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.
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 once per ignition cycle.
The heat output then drops to the normal high-temperature level. If high-level heating is selected,
the control system will automatically switch to the low level after thirty minutes (twenty six minutes
on first activation of an ignition cycle) 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 thirty minutes.
The module will automatically turn off the heating elements if it detects an OPEN or LOW short in
the heating element circuit. In the event an OPEN or LOW short in the heating element circuit is
detected when the heated seats are first initialized, the two LEDs will light for two seconds and go
out as an indicator of a system problem.

information.
The wire harness connectors (2 & 3) for the heating elements are located under the seat (1).
NOTE: When checking heated seat elements for continuity, be certain to move the heating element
being checked. Moving the element, such as sitting in the seat will eliminate the possibility of an
intermittent open in the element which would only be evident if the element was in a certain
position. Failure to check the element in various positions could result in an incomplete test.
1. Locate and disconnect the seat electrical connector.
2. Check 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, refer to Heated Seats
testing. If not OK, replace the inoperative heated seat element.

Seat Heater Control Module: Description and Operation 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 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 Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat switches are located in the center stack (1) of the instrument panel. The switches
are located on the outer edges of the accessory switch bank (2). If either of the switches is
damaged or inoperative the complete accessory switch bank assembly must be replaced.
When either of the heated seat switches are depressed a switch status message is sent to the Cab
Compartment Node (CCN) or instrument cluster 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
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.
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 accessory switch
bank assembly must be replaced.

Seat Heater Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The heated seat switches 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 Cabin 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 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.

Sunroof / Moonroof Switch: Description and Operation 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.

Audible Warning Device: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The chime software is located within, and serviced with the instrument cluster. The chime warning
system uses an electromechanical transducer and an electromechanical relay that are soldered
onto the electronic circuit board inside of the Electromechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) to
provide audible indications of various vehicle conditions that may require the attention of the
vehicle operator or occupants. The EMIC also includes the hardware and software necessary to
serve as the electronic body control module and is sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment
Node or CCN.
The electromechanical transducer generates beep tones and chime tones, while the
electromechanical relay generates click tones to emulate the sounds associated with conventional
turn signal and hazard warning flasher operation. The microprocessor-based EMIC 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 EMIC
allow it to control the audible outputs that are produced through its on-board transducer and relay.

Audible Warning Device: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
CHIME WARNING SYSTEM
The chime warning system operates on battery voltage received through a fuse in the Junction
Block (JB) on a non-switched fused B(+) circuit so that the system may operate regardless of the
ignition switch position. The chime warning system also monitors the ignition switch position so that
some chime features are functional only with the ignition switch in the On position, while others are
functional regardless of the ignition switch position.
The chime warning system provides an audible indication to the vehicle operator or occupants
under the following conditions:
- Airbag Indicator Warning - The Cab Compartment Node (CCN) will generate one short chime
when the ignition switch is in the On position, and an electronic message is received over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus from the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) requesting
"Airbag" indicator illumination. This warning will only occur following completion of the "Airbag"
indicator bulb test, and will only occur once during any ignition cycle.
- Door Ajar Indicator Warning - The CCN will generate one short chime when the ignition switch is
in the On position, a hard wired input is received indicating that the status of any door ajar switch
has changed, and an electronic message is received over the CAN data bus indicating that the
vehicle is moving. Door ajar chime occurs only if the door ajar status is true.
- Door opened and
- Ignition in RUN position and
- Vehicle speed is present
- Fasten Seat Belt Indicator Warning - The CCN will generate repetitive chimes at a slow rate to
announce that a hard wired input from the seat belt switch indicates that the driver side front seat
belt is not fastened with the ignition switch in the On position. The chime warning system also
supports the enhanced seat belt reminder (beltminder) when this feature is enabled.
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with the Occupant Classification System (OCS), this will apply to
the front passenger seatbelt as well.
There are two different Fasten Seatbelt Reminder announcements incorporated into the cluster's
logic, a Non-enhanced announcement and an Enhanced announcement.
When the Enhanced announcement is DISABLED:
- The cluster will chime five times (not greater than six seconds) and illuminate the Seatbelt Lamp
after turning the ignition to the run/start position if the driver/passenger seatbelt is unbuckled.
When the Enhanced announcement is ENABLED;
- The cluster will chime continuously at a slow rate for a period of 6 seconds and illuminate the
Seatbelt Lamp after turning the ignition to the run/start position if the driver/passenger seatbelt is
unbuckled. After 6 seconds the chime will stop, but the Seatbelt Lamp will stay illuminated. If the
ignition is in the run position for a period greater than 60 seconds, and the driver/passenger
seatbelt is unbuckled, and the vehicle's speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h) in a forward gear, the
Enhanced Fasten Seatbelt Reminder will activate. This will cause the Seatbelt Lamp to blink and a
slow continuous chime to sound for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, the chime will stop, but the lamp
will remain illuminated for an additional 3 seconds. The Enhanced Seatbelt Reminder cycles for a
total of 12 times (96 seconds). After the 12th time, the Seatbelt Lamp will remain on without any
chime. Buckling the driver/passenger seatbelt at anytime will cancel the Fasten Seatbelt Reminder
announcement.
The seatbelt indicator includes a programmable enhanced seatbelt reminder or "beltminder"
feature that is enabled when the vehicle is shipped from the factory. This beltminder feature can be
disabled and enabled by the customer using a specific programming event sequence, or by the
dealer using a diagnostic scan tool.
- Gate Ajar Indicator Warning - The CCN will generate one short chime when the ignition switch is
in the On position, a hard wired input is received indicating that the status of the liftgate ajar switch
has changed (switch position has to change to true), and an electronic message is received over
the CAN data bus indicating that the vehicle is moving.
- Head/Park Lamps-On Warning - The CCN will generate repetitive chimes at a fast rate to indicate
that hard wired inputs from the driver door ajar switch, the headlamp switch, and the ignition switch
indicate that the exterior lamps are turned On with the driver side front door opened and the ignition
switch in the Off position. The chimes will continue to sound until the exterior lamps are turned Off,
the driver side front door is closed, or the ignition switch is turned to the On position, whichever
occurs first.
- Key-In-Ignition Warning - The CCN will generate repetitive chimes at a fast rate to indicate that
hard wired inputs from the driver door ajar switch, the ignition switch, and the key-in ignition switch
circuitry of the ignition switch indicate that the key is in the ignition in the lock position with the
driver side front door open and the ignition switch in the Off position. The chimes will continue to
sound until the key is removed from the ignition lock cylinder, the driver side front door is closed, or
the ignition switch is turned to the On position, whichever occurs first.
- Low Fuel Indicator Warning - The CCN will generate one short chime when the low fuel indicator
is illuminated by the instrument cluster circuitry. This chime will only occur once during any ignition
cycle.
- Park Brake Reminder - The CCN will generate one short chime to announce that the hard wired
input from the park brake switch and a vehicle
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Audible Warning Device > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 9666
speed message input received over the CAN data bus indicate that the park brake is applied and
the vehicle is moving. This chime will repeat each time the input conditions are met.
- Sentry Key "Customer Learn" Mode Announcement - The CCN will generate one short chime to
confirm that an electronic "Customer Learn" mode message has been received over the CAN data
bus to indicate that the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM) is prepared for programming
additional sentry key transponders. This chime feature is only active on vehicles equipped with the
optional Sentry Key system, and sold in a market where "Customer Learn" programming is an
allowed feature.
- Turn Signal/Hazard Warning Flasher Emulation - The CCN relay will generate repetitive clicks at
a slow rate to emulate an electromechanical flasher when the turn signal or hazard warning system
are operating. The CCN relay will generate repetitive clicks at a fast rate to indicate that the right or
left turn signal are operating with one or more bulbs inoperative. In either case, the clicks will
continue until the turn signal and hazard warning systems are turned off.
- Turn Signal On Warning - The CCN will generate repetitive chimes at a slow rate to indicate that a
turn signal has been active continuously for 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) with the vehicle speed greater
than 22 kilometers-per-hour (15 miles-per hour). Vehicles built for markets other than the United
States and Canada have a revised distance threshold of 4 kilometers for this feature. The chime
will continue until the turn signal input becomes inactive or until the vehicle speed message
indicates that the speed is less than 22 kilometers-per-hour (15 miles-per-hour), whichever occurs
first. The hazard warning flashers will not activate this chime feature.
- Warning Indicator Announcement - The CCN will generate one short chime each time the
Malfunction Indicator or MIL lamp is illuminated by the instrument cluster circuitry. The check
gauges indicator may be illuminated when any critical engine or transmission systems are
operating outside of their normal parameters. The instrument cluster monitors electronic messages
received over the CAN data bus to determine when to illuminate the check gauges indicator.
The CCN provides chime service for all available features in the chime warning system. The CCN
relies upon its internal programming, numerous hard wired inputs, and electronic message inputs
received from other modules over the CAN data bus network to provide the chime warning system
features. The internal programming of the CCN determines the priority of each chime request input
that is received, as well as the rate and duration of each chime that is to be generated.
The hard wired chime warning system inputs to the CCN may be diagnosed and tested using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. However, conventional diagnostic methods may not
prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the CCN, the CAN data bus, or the electronic messages
received by the CCN from other modules. The most reliable, efficient and accurate means to
diagnose the CCN, the CAN/LIN data bus, or the electronic message inputs used for the chime
warning system requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
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
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9693
- 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.

Cigarette Lighter: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
INSTRUMENT PANEL MOUNTED
An instrument panel mounted cigar lighter/power outlet receptacle is optional equipment on this
model. On models equipped with the optional Smoker's Package, the cigar lighter knob and
heating element are included. On models without the Smoker's Package, the cigar lighter
receptacle is equipped with a snap fit plastic cap and is treated as an auxiliary power outlet. The
cigar lighter receptacle is installed in the instrument panel accessory switch bezel, which is located
near the bottom of the instrument panel center stack area, below the radio. The cigar lighter base is
secured by a snap fit within the center lower bezel. This power outlet has a constant 12 volt battery
feed.
The cigar lighter receptacle is serviced with the accessory switch bezel and if defective, the entire
switch bezel must be replaced. The plastic cap and the knob and heating element unit are available
for service replacement. These components cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, they
must be replaced.
FRONT CONSOLE AND REAR CARGO MOUNTED
A front console mounted power outlet is standard equipment and a rear cargo area power outlet is
optional equipment on this model. The front console mounted power outlet is mounted near the
front of the console just in front of the cup holders. This outlet can be used as a cigar lighter or
power outlet, but only has 12 volt battery voltage when the ignition is in the ON or ACC positions.
The rear power outlet is installed in the right rear quarter trim panel, near the spare tire jack (2).
The power outlet base and mount are secured by a snap fit within the quarter trim panel. A plastic
protective cap snaps into the power outlet base when the power outlet is not being used, and
hangs from the power outlet base mount by an integral bail strap while the power outlet is in use.
While the power outlet is very similar to a cigar lighter base unit, it does not include the two small
spring-clip retainers inside the bottom of the receptacle shell that are used to secure the cigar
lighter heating element to the insulated contact. It has 12 volt battery voltage when the ignition is in
the ON or ACC positions.

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

Compass: Adjustments Compass Calibration
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, PDA's,
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.
The electronic compass unit features a continuous self-calibrating feature. This feature
automatically updates the compass calibration as the vehicle is 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 calibration procedure. Also, any
time a new RCM is installed, it must be calibrated using this procedure.
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. Continue to depress and release the STEP button (28) until the "Personal Settings" menu is
displayed.
3. Once in the "Personal Settings" menu depress and release the STEP button (28) several times
until "Calibrate Compass (Yes)" is displayed.
4. A long (longer than two seconds) STEP button press will place the compass in calibration mode.
The "Cal" indicator will change from flashing
to on continuously in the EVIC display (29) to indicate that the compass is now in the calibration
mode and that the vehicle can now be driven to calibrate. (A short STEP button press from the
"Calibrate Compass (Yes)" screen will exit the EVIC Customer Programmable features, and return
it to its normal operating mode).
5. To complete the compass calibration, drive the vehicle in one or more complete 360 degree
circles under 5 mph (8 km/h) in an area free of large
metal objects such as other vehicles, large buildings, or bridges; or, near overhead or underground
power lines, until the "CAL" indicator turns off. The compass will now function normally.
NOTE: If the compass display indicates an inaccurate compass heading or the display is locked up,
the RCM may be inoperative or the vehicle may need to be demagnetized. Perform the Compass
Demagnetizing Procedure prior to performing any system diagnosis.
NOTE: If the compass display indicates dashes "- -" the RCM may be inoperative or the vehicle
may need to be demagnetized. Perform the Compass Demagnetizing Procedure prior to
performing any system diagnosis.
NOTE: If the "CAL" message remains in the display or if the compass heading is inaccurate
following the calibration procedure and there are no internal compass faults, either there is
excessive magnetism near the compass, or the unit is inoperative. Repeat the calibration
procedure at least one more time prior to performing any system 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.

Compass: Adjustments Compass Variance Adjustment
COMPASS VARIANCE ADJUSTMENT
Compass variance, also known as magnetic declination, is the difference in angle between
magnetic north and geographic north. In some geographic locations, the difference between
magnetic and geographic north is great enough to cause the compass to give inaccurate readings.
To optimize compass accuracy, the compass variance should be properly set according to the
compass variance map zone for the region that the vehicle is in.
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 position.
3. Continue to depress and release the STEP button (28) until the "Personal Settings" menu is
displayed.
4. Once in the "Personal Settings" menu depress and release the STEP button (28) several times
until "Compass Variance" is displayed. The
"Compass Variance" message and the current variance zone number will be displayed. The default
variance zone is 8.
NOTE: During programming, the Zone value will wrap around from Zone 15 to Zone 1.
5. To change the zone, press and hold (longer than two seconds) the STEP button to increment the
variance one step. Repeat as necessary, with
individual long (longer than two seconds) STEP button presses for each increment, until the
desired variance is achieved.

Compass: Procedures
COMPASS DEMAGNETIZING
A degaussing tool (Special Tool 6029) is used to demagnetize, or degauss, the roof panel above
the overhead console. Equivalent units must be rated as continuous duty for 110/115 volts and 60
Hz. They must also have a field strength of over 350 gauss at 7 millimeters (0.25 inch) beyond the
tip of the probe.
To demagnetize the roof panel 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 compass unit.
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 and adjust the compass variance.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
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
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Driver/Vehicle Information Display >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9739
- 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.

Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) uses both non-switched and ignition switched
sources of battery current so that some of its features remain operational at any time, while others
may only operate with the ignition switch in the On position. When the ignition switch is turned to
the On position, the EVIC display (29) will return to the last function being displayed before the
ignition was turned to the Off position.
The EVIC system is comprised of several different components that communicate over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) and Local Interface Network (LIN) Data Buses. If the system is
inoperative a scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic information must be used to diagnose the
system and related data buses.
The instrument cluster STEP button (28) is used to operate the different functions of the EVIC
system. Pressing and releasing the STEP button will scroll through the following displays:
- Compass/Temperature/Audio
- Average Fuel Economy
- Distance to Empty
- Elapsed Time
- Personal Settings
Once a particular system is displayed, short and long presses of the STEP button will move the
EVIC through the system menu. Pressing and holding the STEP button once will clear the
resettable function currently being displayed. Reset will only occur if a resettable function is
currently being displayed. To reset all resettable functions, press and release the STEP button a
second time within 3 seconds of resetting the currently displayed function (Reset ALL will be
displayed during this 3 second window).

will read "RESET" or show dashes for two seconds. Then, the history information will be erased,
and the averaging will continue from where it was before the reset.
DISTANCE TO EMPTY (DTE)
NOTE: Significant changes in driving style or vehicle loading will greatly affect the actual drivable
distance of the vehicle, regardless of the DTE displayed value.
Shows the estimated distance that can be travelled with the fuel remaining in the tank. This
estimated distance is determined by a weighted average of the instantaneous and average fuel
economy, according to the current fuel tank level. This is not resettable.
When the DTE value is less than 30 miles (48 kilometers) estimated driving distance, the DTE
display will change to a text display of "LOW FUEL". This display will continue until the vehicle runs
out of fuel. Adding a significant amount of fuel to the vehicle will turn off the "LOW FUEL" text and a
new DTE value will be displayed, based on the current values in the DTE calculation and the
current fuel tank level.

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, PDA's,
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.
The electronic compass unit features a continuous self-calibrating feature. This feature
automatically updates the compass calibration as the vehicle is 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 calibration procedure. Also, any
time a new RCM is installed, it must be calibrated using this procedure.
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. Continue to depress and release the STEP button (28) until the "Personal Settings" menu is
displayed.
3. Once in the "Personal Settings" menu depress and release the STEP button (28) several times
until "Calibrate Compass (Yes)" is displayed.
4. A long (longer than two seconds) STEP button press will place the compass in calibration mode.
The "Cal" indicator will change from flashing
to on continuously in the EVIC display (29) to indicate that the compass is now in the calibration
mode and that the vehicle can now be driven to calibrate. (A short STEP button press from the
"Calibrate Compass (Yes)" screen will exit the EVIC Customer Programmable features, and return
it to its normal operating mode).
5. To complete the compass calibration, drive the vehicle in one or more complete 360 degree
circles under 5 mph (8 km/h) in an area free of large
metal objects such as other vehicles, large buildings, or bridges; or, near overhead or underground
power lines, until the "CAL" indicator turns off. The compass will now function normally.
NOTE: If the compass display indicates an inaccurate compass heading or the display is locked up,
the RCM may be inoperative or the vehicle may need to be demagnetized. Perform the Compass
Demagnetizing Procedure prior to performing any system diagnosis.
NOTE: If the compass display indicates dashes "- -" the RCM may be inoperative or the vehicle
may need to be demagnetized. Perform the Compass Demagnetizing Procedure prior to
performing any system diagnosis.
NOTE: If the "CAL" message remains in the display or if the compass heading is inaccurate
following the calibration procedure and there are no internal compass faults, either there is
excessive magnetism near the compass, or the unit is inoperative. Repeat the calibration
procedure at least one more time prior to performing any system 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.

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 geographic north. In some geographic locations, the difference between
magnetic and geographic north is great enough to cause the compass to give inaccurate readings.
To optimize compass accuracy, the compass variance should be properly set according to the
compass variance map zone for the region that the vehicle is in.
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 position.
3. Continue to depress and release the STEP button (28) until the "Personal Settings" menu is
displayed.
4. Once in the "Personal Settings" menu depress and release the STEP button (28) several times
until "Compass Variance" is displayed. The
"Compass Variance" message and the current variance zone number will be displayed. The default
variance zone is 8.
NOTE: During programming, the Zone value will wrap around from Zone 15 to Zone 1.
5. To change the zone, press and hold (longer than two seconds) the STEP button to increment the
variance one step. Repeat as necessary, with
individual long (longer than two seconds) STEP button presses for each increment, until the
desired variance is achieved.

COMPASS DEMAGNETIZING
A degaussing tool (Special Tool 6029) is used to demagnetize, or degauss, the roof panel above
the overhead console. Equivalent units must be rated as continuous duty for 110/115 volts and 60
Hz. They must also have a field strength of over 350 gauss at 7 millimeters (0.25 inch) beyond the
tip of the probe.
To demagnetize the roof panel 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 compass unit.
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 and adjust the compass variance.

NOTE:
This bulletin applies to all vehicles equipped with a gasoline engine.
NOTE:
Do not replace the gas cap if only DTC P0457 - Evap System - Loose Fuel Cap is present.
DISCUSSION:
Starting with the introduction of 2005 model year vehicles a new diagnostic trouble code (DTC)
P0457 - Evap System - Loose Fuel Cap was introduced. Also added to some vehicles was an
instrument cluster message in the odometer display or message center (EVIC) that alerts the driver
that the gas cap is loose.
The PCM monitors the fuel level for a "significant" change in either direction and remembers that
this has recently occurred. A loose fuel cap DTC, cluster message or message center message
matures when the check for the EVAP system large leak condition fails after the fuel level change
event. If a leak of greater than 0.090" is observed after a fuel level change, a loose cap diagnostic
single trip failure is stored and the cluster message or message center message is displayed even
though a DTC may not yet be present. DTC P0457 - Evap System - Loose Fuel Cap is stored and
the MIL illuminated after 2 cold start failures of the large leak diagnostic checks following a fuel
change event. Only the passing of one of the 3 EVAP system diagnostic routines large leak, small
leak or loose gas cap) by the PCM will validate that the cap is no longer loose and turn off the MIL
light or message.
For 2007 model vehicles DTC P0457 - Evap System - Loose Fuel Cap will be stored and the MIL
illuminated after 3 cold starts.
To temporarily clear the gas cap loose message from the odometer or message center press the
reset button on the odometer or message center while the message is being displayed. This clears
the message for the current key cycle only.
NOTE:
The above works for all vehicles except, 2005 - 2006 Grand Cherokee or Commander. For these,
the scantool must be used)

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
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
DESCRIPTION - SECTION IDENTIFICATION AND INFORMATION
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual sections. If a component is most likely found in a
particular group, it will be shown complete (all wires, connectors, and pins) within that group. For
example, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be found in Powertrain Management, so it is
shown there complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some
associated wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Splice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.
Connector Pin-Outs 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
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Fuel Gauge > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9791
- 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 Monitor Receiver / Transponder: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A transponder, sometimes referred to as a trigger module, is located in three of the four wheel
wells (behind the wheelhouse splash shields) of a vehicle equipped with Premium TPM. These
transponders are used to provide the Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as
the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM), with the location of the tire pressure sensors on
the vehicle. A fourth transponder is not necessary in the remaining wheel well due to the
process-of-elimination theory. Once the system knows the location of the first three sensors it
assumes the location of the fourth tire pressure sensor. On this vehicle, there is a transponder
located in the left front, left rear, and right rear wheelhouse. There is not a transponder located in
the right front wheelhouse.

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

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The use of tire sealants is strictly prohibited for vehicles equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring system. Tire sealants can clog tire pressure sensors.
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: 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: When installing the valve core, be sure to tighten the core to specifications.
Overtightening by a little as three or four inch pounds can damage the sensor.
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.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation 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 315 MHz radio frequency. The 315 MHz sensors can be easily
identified by a white outline oval (black center) insignia (3) on the sensor body.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Tire Monitoring System > Tire Pressure
Sensor > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 9856
The Export TPM system operates on a 433 MHz radio frequency. The 433 MHz sensors can be
easily identified by either a solid white oval insignia (3) on the body or...
... a solid white oval insignia (3) with 433 printed in the center. The sensors are identical except for
the oval insignia. The 433 MHz sensors can either have a black or grey sensor body.
CAUTION: Although 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and shape, they are not
interchangeable. Always make sure the correct sensor is being used.
NOTE: Sensors may be identified by valve stem cap color. From the factory, 315 MHz sensors
have a gray valve stem cap while 433 MHz sensors have a black valve stem cap. Otherwise, once
mounted inside a tire and wheel assembly you are not able to visually tell the difference between a
315 MHz and 433 MHz sensor. At that point, the TPM-RKE Analyzer, Special Tool 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.
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 > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Tire Monitoring System > Tire Pressure
Sensor > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 9857
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 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, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor's operating mode to PARK MODE
and to help diagnose a faulty TPM sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to
force a transmission from a sensor.
The TPM sensor can be in one of the following operating modes:
- SLEEP MODE - This is the operating mode of a new TPM sensor. If placed on the vehicle as a
road tire, the sensor will transmit once every 20 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over
15 mph (24 km/h). Driving the vehicle continuously at this speed for more then 4 minutes will
change the sensor state to DRIVE MODE. Stopping the vehicle for 20 minutes will change the
sensor state to PARK MODE. If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a
pressure change greater then 1 psi (6.9 kPa).
- PARK MODE - This is the correct operating mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will
transmit once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 1 psi (6.9 kPa) delta
change. The sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to
determine a change in tire pressure.
- 30 BLOCK MODE - If the vehicle has been stopped for more then 20 minutes, or if the sensor's
operating mode was forced to PARK MODE using a TPM-RKE Analyzer, the sensor's operating
mode will transition from PARK MODE to 30 BLOCK MODE once the vehicle is driven over 15
mph. In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every 15 seconds when the vehicle is driven at
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h) for the first 30 transmissions. After about 8 minutes of continuous
driving above 15 mph (24 km/h), the sensor's mode will change to DRIVE MODE.
- DRIVE MODE - In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every minute when the vehicle is
driven at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). At any time the vehicle speed drops below 15 mph, the
sensor will not transmit. The sensor mode will still be in drive mode when the sensor reaches
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h), unless the vehicle has been stationary for more then 20 minutes.
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the wireless control module (WCM)
can monitor the state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The WCM can
automatically learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 10 minutes continuously above
15 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 WCM 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.

Brake Light Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The stop lamp switch (3) is located under the instrument panel, at the brake pedal (2). It has three
internal switches controlling various functions of the vehicle. It's main function is to control
operation of the vehicle's brake lamps. Other functions include speed control deactivation, brake
sense for the antilock brake system and brake sense for the brake transmission shift interlock.
CAUTION: The switch can only be adjusted once. That is during initial installation of the switch. If
the switch is not adjusted properly or has been removed for some service, a new switch must be
installed and adjusted.

Brake Light Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When the brake pedal is pressed, the plunger on the outside of the stop lamp switch extends
outward. This action opens or closes the contacts of the three switches inside the stop lamp switch.
With the brake pedal pressed down (plunger extended), the switch for terminals 1 and 2 is closed
completing the circuit. The switch for terminals 3 and 4 is open and so is the switch for 5 and 6.
When the brake pedal is released (plunger pushed in), the three switches assume the opposite
positions. The switch for terminals 1 and 2 is now open while the other two switches are now
closed, completing their circuits.

never been adjusted.
If the electrical circuit has been tested and the stop lamp switch is suspected of being damaged or
inoperative, it can be tested using the following method.
1. Remove the switch from the vehicle.
2. With the switch in the released position (plunger extended), use an ohmmeter to test each of the
three internal switches as shown. You should
achieve the results as listed in the figure.
3. Gently push the plunger on the stop lamp switch in until it stops.
4. With the switch in this depressed position (plunger pushed in), use an ohmmeter to test each of
the three internal switches as shown. You should
achieve the results as listed in the figure.

Cargo Lamp: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
An optional dual-purpose cargo lamp (1) includes a removable and rechargeable flashlight (5). The
flashlight is encased within a molded plastic housing, which is secured within the cargo lamp
housing by two tabs on the end opposite the clear flashlight lens and a push-push type latch
mechanism. The cargo lamp remains functional with or without the flashlight installed in the lamp
housing.
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 (3) located on the side
of the flashlight housing. When the flashlight is turned ON it illuminates two clear Light Emitting
Diode (LED) units (2) to create a wide and bright light beam. A red LED unit (4) 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 incandescent cargo lamp bulb, the cargo lamp lens, the flashlight battery and the flashlight unit
are each available for separate service replacement. If any other component of the lamp or the
flashlight are damaged or ineffective, the complete cargo lamp or flashlight unit must be replaced.

Cargo Lamp: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The rechargeable lithium battery within the flashlight automatically recharges while the flashlight is
nested in its receptacle within the cargo lamp housing and the ignition switch is in the ON or
START positions. The flashlight has a pair of electrical contacts that mate with contacts within the
cargo lamp housing that provide a source of recharging current regardless of whether the cargo
lamp is illuminated. 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 cargo lamp housing by pushing it momentarily upward at the
depression marked PUSH on the flashlight, then releasing it and swinging it downward far enough
to disengage two slots on the right end of the flashlight from two tabs within the cargo lamp
housing. When the flashlight is removed from its receptacle in the cargo lamp housing, it can be
used as an auxiliary light source in emergencies or other situations. 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 cargo lamp
housing and to recharge the flashlight battery.

DISCUSSION: Some customers may report that on occasion, vehicle exterior lamp assemblies are
fogged with a light layer of condensation on the inside of the lenses. This may be reported after the
lamps have been turned on and brought up to operating temperature, turned off, and then rapidly
cooled by cold water (such as rain, or the water from a car wash). Lens fogging can also occur
under certain atmospheric conditions after a vehicle has been parked outside overnight (i.e., a
warm humid day followed by clear cool night). This will usually clear as atmospheric conditions
change to allow the condensation to change back into a vapor. Turning the lamps on will usually
accelerate this process.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Cornering Lamp > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins
> Lighting - Information On Exterior Lamp Lens Fogging > Page 9932
A lamp that has large amounts of water droplets visible on most internal surfaces indicates a
problem with the lamp sealing that has allowed water to enter the lamp. In this instance, the
customer is likely to report that moisture in the lamp is always present and never disappears. A
lamp that exhibits internal moisture permanently should be replaced.

Daytime Running Lamp Relay: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles built for use in Canada, and also available as an option on vehicles for sale in the U.S.,
are equipped with a Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) system. All the exterior lighting messages come
from Steering Control Module (SCM) or left multi-function switch on Local Interconnect Network
(LIN) data bus and goes to the Cab Compartment Node (CCN), then the CCN sends out a
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus message to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM)
for each lighting function according to the request from left multi-function switch. Then the TIPM will
turn ON/OFF the requested output. The DRL function is controlled by TIPM. Daytime running
lamps are High beam lamps at lower intensity.

Hazard Warning Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The hazard switch is located in the Accessory Switch Bank Module (ASBM) just below the heater
a/c controls, in the instrument panel center stack. This switch is the control for the hazard warning
lighting. The only visible component of the switch is the control push button that is located just to
the left of the Passenger Airbag Disabled Light (PADL) indicator.
On BUX models, the hazard switch is located to the left of the Headlamp Leveling Switch, in the
ASBM. The hazard switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If the switch is ineffective or damaged,
the entire ASBM must be replaced.

Hazard Warning Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The hazard switch features a push-push type latching push button. When the push button is in its
latched (lowered) position the switch contacts are open, and when the push button is in its
unlatched (raised) position the switch contacts are closed.
The hazard switch receives a ground on one terminal and provides a ground signal output to the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) ) whenever the switch contacts are closed. The TIPM
responds to this input by controlling a battery voltage output and the flash rate for each of the right
and left turn signal lamps, then sends an electronic hazard switch status message over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to the Electromechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also
known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) 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 hazard 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.

DISCUSSION: Some customers may report that on occasion, vehicle exterior lamp assemblies are
fogged with a light layer of condensation on the inside of the lenses. This may be reported after the
lamps have been turned on and brought up to operating temperature, turned off, and then rapidly
cooled by cold water (such as rain, or the water from a car wash). Lens fogging can also occur
under certain atmospheric conditions after a vehicle has been parked outside overnight (i.e., a
warm humid day followed by clear cool night). This will usually clear as atmospheric conditions
change to allow the condensation to change back into a vapor. Turning the lamps on will usually
accelerate this process.

Lighting - Information On Exterior Lamp Lens Fogging > Page 10006
A lamp that has large amounts of water droplets visible on most internal surfaces indicates a
problem with the lamp sealing that has allowed water to enter the lamp. In this instance, the
customer is likely to report that moisture in the lamp is always present and never disappears. A
lamp that exhibits internal moisture permanently should be replaced.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
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.

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
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
DESCRIPTION - SECTION IDENTIFICATION AND INFORMATION
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual sections. If a component is most likely found in a
particular group, it will be shown complete (all wires, connectors, and pins) within that group. For
example, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be found in Powertrain Management, so it is
shown there complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some
associated wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Splice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Parking Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 10030
- 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.

Daytime Running Lamp Relay: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles built for use in Canada, and also available as an option on vehicles for sale in the U.S.,
are equipped with a Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) system. All the exterior lighting messages come
from Steering Control Module (SCM) or left multi-function switch on Local Interconnect Network
(LIN) data bus and goes to the Cab Compartment Node (CCN), then the CCN sends out a
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus message to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM)
for each lighting function according to the request from left multi-function switch. Then the TIPM will
turn ON/OFF the requested output. The DRL function is controlled by TIPM. Daytime running
lamps are High beam lamps at lower intensity.

Brake Light Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When the brake pedal is pressed, the plunger on the outside of the stop lamp switch extends
outward. This action opens or closes the contacts of the three switches inside the stop lamp switch.
With the brake pedal pressed down (plunger extended), the switch for terminals 1 and 2 is closed
completing the circuit. The switch for terminals 3 and 4 is open and so is the switch for 5 and 6.
When the brake pedal is released (plunger pushed in), the three switches assume the opposite
positions. The switch for terminals 1 and 2 is now open while the other two switches are now
closed, completing their circuits.

Combination Switch: Description and Operation 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 then sends electronic
switch status messages over the Local Interconnect Network (LIN) to the Cab Compartment Node
(CCN) and then the CCN sends messages over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) other electronic modules in the vehicle.
For lighting and wiper function it sends the messages over the LIN bus to the CCN and the CCN
puts them out on the CAN bus to the other modules. The left switch has the microprocessor for all
communication to the TIPM. The SCCM is composed of a clockspring and left lighting switch and a
right wiper switch. The TIPM, controls the lighting and wiper functions.
The left multi-function switch can be diagnosed using LIN based diagnostic tools and methods.
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:
- 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 left multi-function switch
sends an electronic switch status message over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data
bus to the 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 left multi-function switch sends an electronic
switch status message over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data bus to the other
electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The headlamp beams are selected when the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pushed forward. The left multi-function switch sends an electronic switch
status message over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data bus to the other electronic
modules in the vehicle. Each time the control stalk is actuated in this manner, the headlamp beams
are toggled from the current selection to the opposite selection.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The headlamp optical horn is selected each time the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pulled rearward to a momentary position just short of the beam selection
detent position. The headlamp high beams will remain illuminated for as long as the control stalk is
held in this momentary position and the previously selected beams will be restored when the
control stalk is released. The left multi-function switch sends an electronic switch status message
over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data bus to the 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 left multi-function switch sends an electronic
switch status message over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data bus to the 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 left multi-function switch sends an electronic switch status message
over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data bus to the 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 "lane change" position in each direction that provides turn signals only
until the control stalk is released. When the control stalk is moved to a detent turn signal switch
position, a cancel actuator extends toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel
cam that is integral to the clockspring, rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact
the cancel actuator when it is extended from the left multi-function switch. When the steering wheel
is rotated during a turning maneuver, one of the two turn signal cancel cam lobes will contact the
turn signal cancel actuator. The cancel actuator latches against the cancel cam rotation in the
direction opposite that which is signaled. If the left turn signal detent is selected, the lobes of the
cancel cam will ratchet past the cancel actuator when the steering wheel is rotated to the left, but
will unlatch the cancel actuator as the steering wheel rotates to the right and returns to center,
which will cancel the turn signal event and release the control stalk from the detent so it returns to
the neutral Off position. The left multi-function switch sends an electronic switch status message
over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data bus to the 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 left multi-function
switch sends an electronic switch status message over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Sensors and Switches - Lighting and Horns > Combination Switch >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 10083
CAN data bus to the 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 left multi-function switch
sends an electronic switch status message over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data
bus to the 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 left multi-function switch sends an electronic
switch status message over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data bus to the 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 left multi-function switch sends an electronic switch status message over the LIN bus
to the CCN, then over the CAN data bus to the other electronic modules in the vehicle.

Hazard Warning Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The hazard switch features a push-push type latching push button. When the push button is in its
latched (lowered) position the switch contacts are open, and when the push button is in its
unlatched (raised) position the switch contacts are closed.
The hazard switch receives a ground on one terminal and provides a ground signal output to the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) ) whenever the switch contacts are closed. The TIPM
responds to this input by controlling a battery voltage output and the flash rate for each of the right
and left turn signal lamps, then sends an electronic hazard switch status message over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to the Electromechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also
known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) 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 hazard 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.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
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
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Trailer Lamps > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 10131
- 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.

Combination Switch: Description and Operation 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 then sends electronic
switch status messages over the Local Interconnect Network (LIN) to the Cab Compartment Node
(CCN) and then the CCN sends messages over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) other electronic modules in the vehicle.
For lighting and wiper function it sends the messages over the LIN bus to the CCN and the CCN
puts them out on the CAN bus to the other modules. The left switch has the microprocessor for all
communication to the TIPM. The SCCM is composed of a clockspring and left lighting switch and a
right wiper switch. The TIPM, controls the lighting and wiper functions.
The left multi-function switch can be diagnosed using LIN based diagnostic tools and methods.
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:
- 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 left multi-function switch
sends an electronic switch status message over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data
bus to the 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 left multi-function switch sends an electronic
switch status message over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data bus to the other
electronic modules in the vehicle.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The headlamp beams are selected when the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pushed forward. The left multi-function switch sends an electronic switch
status message over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data bus to the other electronic
modules in the vehicle. Each time the control stalk is actuated in this manner, the headlamp beams
are toggled from the current selection to the opposite selection.
- Headlamp Optical Horn - The headlamp optical horn is selected each time the left multi-function
switch control stalk is pulled rearward to a momentary position just short of the beam selection
detent position. The headlamp high beams will remain illuminated for as long as the control stalk is
held in this momentary position and the previously selected beams will be restored when the
control stalk is released. The left multi-function switch sends an electronic switch status message
over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data bus to the 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 left multi-function switch sends an electronic
switch status message over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data bus to the 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 left multi-function switch sends an electronic switch status message
over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data bus to the 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 "lane change" position in each direction that provides turn signals only
until the control stalk is released. When the control stalk is moved to a detent turn signal switch
position, a cancel actuator extends toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel
cam that is integral to the clockspring, rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact
the cancel actuator when it is extended from the left multi-function switch. When the steering wheel
is rotated during a turning maneuver, one of the two turn signal cancel cam lobes will contact the
turn signal cancel actuator. The cancel actuator latches against the cancel cam rotation in the
direction opposite that which is signaled. If the left turn signal detent is selected, the lobes of the
cancel cam will ratchet past the cancel actuator when the steering wheel is rotated to the left, but
will unlatch the cancel actuator as the steering wheel rotates to the right and returns to center,
which will cancel the turn signal event and release the control stalk from the detent so it returns to
the neutral Off position. The left multi-function switch sends an electronic switch status message
over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data bus to the 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 left multi-function
switch sends an electronic switch status message over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Turn Signals > Combination Switch > Component Information >
Description and Operation > Description > Page 10139
CAN data bus to the 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 left multi-function switch
sends an electronic switch status message over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data
bus to the 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 left multi-function switch sends an electronic
switch status message over the LIN bus to the CCN, then over the CAN data bus to the 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 left multi-function switch sends an electronic switch status message over the LIN bus
to the CCN, then over the CAN data bus to the other electronic modules in the vehicle.

Heated Glass Element Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The switch for the rear window defogger (EBL) system (1) is located in the A/C-heater control (2) in
the instrument panel center bezel (3). When the rear window defogger switch is pressed to the On
position a request signal is sent to the cabin compartment node (CCN), which sends a message to
the totally integrated power module (TIPM) to operate the EBL system.
When the high side driver in the TIPM is energized, current is directed to the rear defogger grid
lines and to the heated side view mirrors (when equipped). The grid lines heat the glass to help
clear the surface of fog or frost.

Heated Glass Element Switch: Description and Operation 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 cabin compartment node (CCN), which sends a
message 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.
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 found inoperative or
damaged.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER WINDOW SWITCH
Remove the switch. Using an ohmmeter, test the window switch for continuity in all positions listed
in the Continuity Table. Refer to the Power Window Switch Continuity table to determine if
continuity is correct.
To test the left front down and express down switch position, connect pin 4 to ground and pin 12 to
a 12 volt source. Using a voltmeter, measure for voltage from pin 13 to ground.
To test the right front down and express down switch position, connect pin 4 to ground and pin 12
to a 12 volt source. Using a voltmeter, measure for voltage from pin 3 to ground. If the correct
results are not obtained, replace the switch.

module. The respective rear window motor is hard wired to the module. The front window motor is
directly attached to the module. Both front door window switches have the express down feature.
The module will cease lowering the front glass when a fully down position is sensed through the
hall effect sensor.
When a module must be replaced, it is necessary to replace the entire regulator assembly.

Power Window Motor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When a door is opened, the respective module will receive a signal from the door ajar switch or the
window drop switch. The window drop switch is directly controlled by both the interior and the
exterior door handle switches. The drop switch is part of the door latch. This switch is faster than
the door ajar switch to signal an open door operation. At that point the module will drop the front
door glass 10 mm (0.5 in). However, if the window drop switch should fail, the door ajar sense
would also drop the window 10 mm (0.5 in) and the module would set a trouble code. When the
module then receives a door ajar switch open (door closed) it would raise the window 10 mm (0.5
in). The module knows the position of the window by counting the motor rotation through the hall
effect sensor in the module. If a door window is raised while that door is open, the module will raise
the glass up, but when the door is closed it will raise the glass an additional 10 mm (0.5 in). When
the convertible top down switch is pressed to the first detent, input is received by the driver window
regulator module and passenger window regulator module, which will lower the front windows
approximately 40 mm (1.6 in), and lower the rear windows approximately 55 mm (2.0 in). After a
200 ms delay, it energizes the power top down relay to lower the convertible top.

Any diagnosis of the Window Regulator Modules should begin with the use of the scan tool. For
information on the use of the scan tool, refer to the appropriate Diagnostic Service Information.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information.
WARNING: Disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, seat
belt tensioner, side airbag, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and
isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to
discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the
airbag system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment
and possible personal injury.

Quarter Window Glass: Service and Repair Installation
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Grand Cherokee shown, Caliber similar.
WARNING: Do not operate the vehicle within 24 hours of quarter glass installation. It takes at least
24 hours for urethane adhesive to cure. If it is not cured, the quarter glass may not perform
properly if the vehicle is in an accident.
CAUTION: To help prevent water leaks, partially roll down the left and right door glass before
installing the quarter glass. This avoids pressurizing the passenger compartment if a door is
slammed before the urethane is cured.
CAUTION: Protect all painted and trimmed surfaces from coming in contact with urethane or
primers.
NOTE: To prevent corrosion, do not damage paint on the quarter glass fence when removing
original urethane.
NOTE: The quarter glass fence should be cleaned of most of its old urethane adhesive. A small
amount of old urethane, approximately 1 mm (.04 in.) in height should remain on the fence. Do not
completely remove all old urethane from the fence, the paint finish and bonding strength will be
adversely affected.
1. Using a razor knife, level the original bead of urethane on the fence to a thickness of
approximately 1 mm (0.04 in.).
2. If the quarter glass is being reused, remove as much of the original urethane as possible from
the glass surface using a razor knife.
WARNING: Do not use solvent based glass cleaners to clean the quarter glass before applying
glass prep and primer or poor glass adhesion may result.
3. Clean the inside of the quarter glass with an ammonia based glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth.
4. Apply glass prep adhesion promoter 25 mm (1 in.) wide around the perimeter of the glass and 5
mm (0.2 in.) from the edge of the glass and wipe
dry with a clean lint-free cloth until no streaks are visible.
5. Apply glass primer 25 mm (1 in.) wide around the perimeter of the glass and 5 mm (0.2 in.) from
the edge of the glass. Allow at least three minutes
drying time.
6. Using a flashlight, verify that the primer is completely and evenly installed along the perimeter of
the quarter glass.
7. Re-prime any area that is not fully and evenly primed.
8. Clean the quarter glass fence with an ammonia based glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth.
9. Apply pinch weld primer 15 mm (0.75 in.) wide around the quarter glass fence. Allow at least
three minutes drying time.
10. Using a flashlight, verify that the primer is completely and evenly installed along the quarter
glass fence.
11. Re-prime any area that is not fully and evenly primed.

CAUTION: Always apply the bead of adhesive to the quarter glass. Always install the quarter glass
within 5 minutes after applying the adhesive.
NOTE: If the original urethane adhesive has been exposed for more than 12 hours, the entire
adhesive area will need to be re-primed prior to installing new adhesive.
12. Apply approximately a 10 mm (0.4 in.) wide bead of adhesive with a triangular nozzle
approximately 6 mm (0.230 in.) from the edge of the glass
starting at the bottom center of the quarter glass.
13. Run the end of the adhesive bead on the quarter glass parallel to the start of the bead and
smooth the ends flush.
14. Place the quarter glass (1) into the window opening (2) and insert mounting studs through the
holes in the window fence.
15. Install the headliner.
16. Install the quarter panel trim.

Body - Windshield Crack Diagnosis > Page 10338
Windshield cracks caused by an impact from a foreign object; (i.e. stone) are often difficult to
identify. The following assessment should be used to verify the presence of an impact chip on the
crack.
If no obvious impact chip is present, run a ball point pen along the crack and feel for a slight drop or
pit in the glass. If a slight drop or pit in the glass is present, this indicates a small impact caused the
crack. If the molding contains a witness mark or dent from an impact, inspect under the molding for
an impact chip in the same manner.
POLICY: Cracks caused by an impact are not warrantable.

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.
- DaimlerChrysler does not recommend glass adhesive by brand. Technicians should review
product labels and technical data sheets, and use only adhesives that their manufactures warrant
will restore a vehicle to the requirements of FMVSS 212. Technicians should also insure that
primers and cleaners are compatible with the particular adhesive used.
- Be sure to refer to the urethane manufacturer's directions for curing time specifications, and do
not use adhesive after its expiration date.
- Vapors that are emitted from the urethane adhesive or primer could cause personal injury. Use
them in a well-ventilated area.
- Skin contact with urethane adhesive should be avoided. Personal injury may result.
- Always wear eye and hand protection when working with glass.
CAUTION: Protect all painted and trimmed surfaces from coming in contact with urethane or
primers.
Be careful not to damage painted surfaces when removing moldings or cutting urethane around
windshield.

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.

REMOVAL
1. Before proceeding with the following repair procedure, review all warnings and cautions. Refer to
Windows and Glass/Service Precautions.
2. Remove the rear view mirror.
3. Remove the cowl grille.
CAUTION: Be careful not to damage painted surfaces when removing moldings or cutting urethane
around the windshield.
4. Remove molding from the top of the windshield.
5. Using an assistant and a wire-type windshield cut-out tool (1, 3 and 4), cut and separate the

Windshield: Service and Repair Installation
INSTALLATION
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 if the
vehicle is in an accident.
CAUTION: To help prevent water leaks, partially roll down the left and right door glass before
installing the windshield. This avoids pressurizing the passenger compartment if a door is slammed
before the urethane is cured.
CAUTION: Protect all painted and trimmed surfaces from coming in contact with urethane or
primers.
1. If the windshield (1) is being reused, remove as much of the original urethane (3) as possible
from the glass surface using a razor knife (2).
NOTE: To prevent corrosion, do not damage paint on windshield fence when removing original
urethane.
NOTE: The windshield fence should be cleaned of most of its old urethane adhesive. A small
amount of old urethane, approximately 1 mm (.04 in.) in height should remain on the fence. Do not
completely remove all old urethane from the fence, the paint finish and bonding strength will be
adversely affected. Support spacers located near the cowl at the bottom of the windshield fence
should be replaced with new spacers. Replace any missing or damaged spacers around the
perimeter of the windshield fence.
2. Using a razor knife (2), level the original bead of urethane (1) on the windshield fence (3) to a
thickness of approximately 1 mm (0.04 in.) and
remove any damaged adhesive backed spacers.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Windows and Glass > Windshield > Component Information > Service and Repair > Removal
> Page 10344
3. Install new adhesive backed spacers along the windshield fence as required.
4. Install a new rubber seal (2) along the top of the windshield (1).
5. Using an assistant, position the windshield into the windshield opening and against the
windshield fence (3) and spacers.
6. Verify the windshield lays evenly against the fence at the top, bottom and sides of the opening. If
not, the fence must be formed to the shape of the
windshield.
7. Mark the windshield and the windshield fence with a grease pencil or pieces of masking tape to
use as a reference for installation.
8. Using an assistant, remove the windshield from the windshield opening and place it on a suitable
padded work surface.
WARNING: Do not use solvent based glass cleaners to clean the windshield before applying glass
prep and primer or poor glass adhesion may result.
9. Clean the inside of the windshield with an ammonia based glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth.
10. Apply glass prep adhesion promoter 25 mm (1 in.) wide (1) around the perimeter of the
windshield (2) and 5 mm (0.2 in.) from the edge of the
glass and wipe dry with a clean lint-free cloth until no streaks are visible.
11. Apply glass primer 25 mm (1 in.) wide (1) around the perimeter of the windshield (2) and 5 mm
(0.2 in.) from the edge of the glass. Allow at least
three minutes drying time.
12. Using a flashlight, verify that the primer is completely and evenly installed along the perimeter
of the windshield.
13. Re-prime any area that is not fully and evenly primed.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Windows and Glass > Windshield > Component Information > Service and Repair > Removal
> Page 10345
14. Clean the windshield fence with an ammonia based glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth.
15. Apply pinch weld primer 15 mm (0.75 in.) wide (1) around the windshield fence (2). Allow at
least three minutes drying time.
16. Using a flashlight, verify that the primer is completely and evenly installed along the windshield
fence.
17. Re-prime any area that is not fully and evenly primed.
CAUTION: Always apply the bead of adhesive to the windshield. Always install the windshield
within 5 minutes after applying the adhesive.
NOTE: If the original urethane adhesive has been exposed for more than 12 hours, the entire
adhesive area will need to be re-primed prior to installing new adhesive.
18. Apply approximately a 10 mm (0.4 in.) wide bead of adhesive (1) with a triangular nozzle
approximately 6 mm (0.230 in.) from the edge of the
glass (2) starting at the bottom center of the windshield.
19. Run the end of the adhesive bead (1) on the windshield (2) parallel to the start of the bead and
smooth the ends flush.

20. Using an assistant, position the windshield (1) over the windshield opening.
21. Using the grease pencil marks or tape as reference points, align the windshield to the
windshield opening.
22. Carefully lower the windshield into the windshield opening. Guide the windshield and the rubber
seal (2) at the top the windshield into its proper
location.
CAUTION: It is not possible to move the windshield after installation. The windshield should never
be pressed into place by more than one person, because the windshield can break if pressed
simultaneously on both sides.

Wiper Switch: Description and Operation 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.
- 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 two 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 Operation
OPERATION
The right (wiper) multi-function switch uses a combination of resistor multiplexing and conventional
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.

supplemental restraint system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag,
occupant classification system, 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 supplemental restraint system. 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.
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).

Windshield Washer Pump: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The washer pump/motor unit is located on the top of a sump area of the washer reservoir, on the
forward side of the reservoir ahead of the right front strut tower 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 one
barbed outlet nipple (5 and 8) on the pump valve body housing connects the unit to the front
washer hose, and the other barbed outlet nipple connects the unit to the rear washer hose.
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 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 engine compartment wire harness.
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 Operation
OPERATION
The washer pump/motor unit features a reversible electric motor. The direction of the motor is
controlled by hard wired outputs from the 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.

house in the engine compartment. The filler neck extends upward into the engine compartment and
a single screw installed through a mounting tab (7) on the back of the filler neck secures the unit to
a stamped metal bracket on the front of the strut tower. A bright yellow plastic filler cap (1) with an
International Control and Display Symbol icon for Windshield Washer molded into it snaps over the
open end of the filler neck. The cap hinges on and is secured to a molded-in hook formation on the
top of the mounting tab on the filler neck.
There is a dedicated hole in the sump area at the lower front end of the reservoir provided for the
washer pump/motor unit (5). The outboard side of the washer reservoir has an integral clip (4) and
two integral troughs (6) through which the washer hoses are routed from the washer pump up into
the engine compartment. An integral mounting post on the bottom of the reservoir is inserted into a
hole in the horizontal front extension of the fender wheel house to locate and secure the lower end
of the reservoir. An integral latch tab (3) on the upper outboard side of the reservoir engages a slot
in the inboard side of the coolant reserve container (gasoline engine) or coolant pressure container
(diesel engine) to aid in mounting that unit in the engine compartment. The coolant reserve
container or coolant pressure container must be dismounted, but need not be removed to access
the washer reservoir for service.
The washer reservoir cannot be repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, it must be replaced. The
washer reservoir, rubber grommet seal/filter screen for the washer pump/motor unit and the filler
cap are each available for individual service replacement.

Windshield Washer Reservoir: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The washer fluid reservoir provides a secure, on-vehicle storage location for a large reserve of
washer fluid for operation of the front and rear washer systems. The washer reservoir filler cap
provides a clearly marked and readily accessible point from which to add washer fluid to the
reservoir. The washer pump/motor unit is located in a sump area near the lower forward side 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 pump/motor unit is mounted in the lowest position in the
sump.

Windshield Washer Spray Nozzle: Description and Operation Description
Front
FRONT
The fluidic front washer nozzles (2) are constructed of molded plastic and include an integral check
valve. Each nozzle has two integral latches (3) that secure them in dedicated holes in the hood
panel near the base of the windshield. The domed upper surface of the washer nozzle is visible on
the outside of the hood panel, and the two nozzle orifices (1) are oriented towards the windshield
glass.
An integral diaphragm type check valve is contained within the body of each nozzle. The washer
plumbing fittings (4) for the washer nozzles extend below the hood panel and are accessible from
the engine compartment.
The front washer nozzles cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, they must
be replaced.
Rear
REAR
The fluidic rear washer nozzle is constructed of molded plastic. The rear washer nozzle is secured
by two integral latch features (1) within a mounting hole to the right of the Center High-Mounted
Stop Lamp (CHMSL) in the lower surface of the rear spoiler above the liftgate glass opening on the
outer liftgate panel.
The outer surface of the washer nozzle is visible on the lower exterior surface of the spoiler, and a
rubber gasket (3) seals the nozzle to the spoiler mounting hole. The nozzle orifice (4) is oriented
downward towards the liftgate glass. The washer plumbing fitting (2) is concealed between the
spoiler and the liftgate outer panel.
The rear washer nozzle cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, it must be
replaced.

Windshield Washer Spray Nozzle: Description and Operation Operation
Front
FRONT
The two front washer nozzles are designed to dispense washer fluid into the wiper pattern area on
the outside of the windshield glass. Pressurized washer fluid is fed to each nozzle from the washer
reservoir by the washer pump/motor unit through a single hose, which is attached to a barbed
nipple on each washer nozzle below the inner hood panel. A fluidic matrix within the washer nozzle
causes the pressurized washer fluid to be emitted from the nozzle orifice as an oscillating stream to
more effectively cover a larger area of the glass to be cleaned.
The integral check valve in each nozzle prevents washer fluid from draining out of the washer
supply hoses 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 nozzles, because the
washer pump would have to refill the washer plumbing from the reservoir to the nozzles. Such a
drain-back condition could also result in water, dirt, or other outside contaminants being siphoned
into the washer system through the washer nozzle orifice. This water could subsequently freeze
and plug the nozzle, while other contaminants could interfere with proper nozzle operation and
cause improper nozzle spray patterns. In addition, the check valve prevents washer fluid from
siphoning through the washer nozzles 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.
Rear
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.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
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
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- 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.
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Wiper and Washer Systems > Wiper Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 10502
- 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.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The front wiper module is secured to stamped brackets within the cowl plenum panel beneath the
cowl plenum cover/grille panel. The ends of the wiper pivot shafts 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 module.
The front wiper module consists of the following major components:
- Bracket - The front wiper module bracket (4) consists of a long tubular steel main member that
has a stamped pivot bracket formation near each end where the two wiper pivots are secured. The
front wiper module bracket is secured within the cowl plenum by two screws through two rubber
insulators (6).
Crank Arm - The front wiper motor crank arm (5) is a stamped steel unit with a slotted hole on the
driven end that is secured to the wiper motor output shaft with a nut, and a ball stud secured to the
drive end.
- Linkage - Two stamped steel drive links (7) connect the wiper motor crank arm to the two wiper
pivot lever arms. The passenger side link has a plastic socket-type bushing on each end, while the
driver side link has a socket-type bushing on the pivot end and a sleeve-type bushing on the crank
arm end. The bushing on the pivot end of each link is snap-fit over a ball stud on the pivot lever
arm. The sleeve-type bushing on the driver side link is snap fit over the inner ball formation of a
double ball stud on the crank arm, then the socket-type bushing of the passenger side drive link is
snapped over the outer ball formation.
- Motor - The front wiper motor (9) is secured by a bracket (3) integral to the motor transmission
housing with two screws and nuts near the center of the wiper module bracket. A knob-like rubber
insulator (8) on a stud integral to the motor transmission housing is engaged in a slot in a stamped
bracket on the forward wall of the cowl plenum. The two-speed permanent magnet wiper motor
features an integral transmission, an internal park switch, and an internal automatic resetting circuit
breaker.
- Pivots - The two front wiper pivots (1) are secured to the ends of the wiper module bracket. The
lever arms that extend from the bottom of the pivot shafts each have ballstuds that engage the
bushings of the drive links. A molded plastic shield (2) is fit over the top of each pivot housing. The
upper end of each pivot shaft where the wiper arms will be fastened each is tapered and serrated
with a threaded stud formation at the tip.
The front wiper motor and crank arm unit is available for separate service replacement. Any other
component of the front wiper module cannot be adjusted or repaired. If any component of the
module other than the motor is ineffective or damaged, the entire front wiper module unit must be
replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
The front wiper module operation is controlled by the battery current inputs received by the wiper
motor through 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,
Dodge Caliber Srt-4 Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L Turbo VIN F (2007))

single throw, momentary switch within the wiper motor that is mechanically actuated by the wiper
motor transmission components. The park switch alternately closes the wiper park switch sense
circuit to ground or to battery current, 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 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 front wiper motor may be diagnosed using conventional
diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. However,
conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the front wiper motor
or the electronic controls or communication between other modules and devices that provide some
features of the front wiper and washer system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the front wiper motor or the electronic controls and communication related to front wiper
motor operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information.

Wiper Motor: Description and Operation Motor-Rear Wiper
Description
DESCRIPTION
The rear wiper motor (4) is concealed within the liftgate, below the liftgate glass and behind the
liftgate inner trim panel. The end of the motor output shaft (2) that extends through the lower edge
of the liftgate glass to drive the rear wiper arm and blade is the only visible component of the rear
wiper motor. A rubber grommet is engaged within the output shaft hole of the liftgate glass and
seals the output shaft where it passes through the glass. An integral connector receptacle (3)
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 to the wiper motor housing, and through three screws with rubber
isolators (1) to the liftgate inner panel.
- Motor - The single-speed permanent magnet rear wiper motor is secured to the rear wiper motor
bracket. The wiper motor includes an integral transmission, motor output shaft, automatic resetting
circuit breaker and the rear wiper motor park switch.
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 motor output shaft rubber
grommet is available for individual service replacement.
Operation
OPERATION
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 with an eyelet terminal connector
in the body wire harness that is secured to a ground location in the passenger compartment. The
automatic resetting circuit breaker protects the motor from overloads. The rear wiper motor
transmission converts the rotary output of the wiper motor to the back and forth wiping motion of
the rear wiper arm and blade on the liftgate glass.
The hard wired inputs and outputs of the rear wiper motor may be diagnosed using conventional
diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. However,
conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the rear wiper motor
or 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 motor or the electronic controls and communication related to rear wiper

Wiper Switch: Description and Operation 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).

Operation > Description > Page 10523
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.
- 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 two 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 Operation
OPERATION
The right (wiper) multi-function switch uses a combination of resistor multiplexing and conventional
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.

Wiper Switch: Testing and Inspection
RIGHT MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the
supplemental restraint system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag,
occupant classification system, 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 supplemental restraint system. 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.
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).

3. If the switch fails any of the tests, replace the ineffective right multi-function switch as required. If
the switch tests okay, but the switch input to the
Steering Control Module (SCM) remains incorrect, be certain to check for a short or open in the
jumper harness between the right multi-function switch and the SCM.
